When he came out of the palace, Qin Luo took one last look back at the palace, only to see that the palace walls were deep and the palace was splendid. It symbolizes the great imperial power and is the highest power center of Great Chu.

Unfortunately, he never went back. Qin Luo smiled lonely at the palace wall, then turned around and left, not looking back......

After Ye Leyi and the others crossed the Lan River, they had to walk for a few days before they could reach Pingcheng, the new capital of Great Chu.

Along the way, the officials of Da Chu received him warmly, and Ye Leyi found that the south and north of Da Chu were completely different landscapes. The north is cold and dry, and the south is humid and warm. Even on both sides, the northern men are taller and larger, while the southern women are small and delicate.

"The woman in the Central Plains is so petite and cute." Ye Leyi raised her eyebrows and looked at her younger brother, "I don't know if the woman you want to marry is also so good-looking?" ”

"Second sister, you tease me again!" Yelekon was just a young man, and when he heard his sister's teasing words, he lowered his head with a flushed face.

Yelekon was weak from an early age, and was raised like a girl by Wei Wu Kedun. Later, as a hostage, he went to the Qingyun Ministry for two or three years of training, and his courage became a little bigger, but under the influence of Qin Luo, he still grew into a gentle and elegant gentleman. Yereyi sometimes looked at her younger brother with melancholy, this child did not inherit his father's strength at all, but was as gentle as his mother.

Yele Kanger walked in Southern Chu, which was no different from the literati of Chu. Ye Le Yi said in his heart, his younger brother is so gentle, how will he inherit his father's throne in the future? Maybe it was really a joke that the Red Crow God made a joke and reversed the gender of himself and his younger brother.

At the same time, in the Pingcheng Imperial Palace, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites were still anxious about the selection of relatives.

In other words, the candidate for the princess is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that she has a docile temperament, and can focus on the overall situation, and can play an important role in the diplomatic relations between the two countries in the future.

Before Ye Leyi and them entered the Chu Kingdom, Mrs. Xu asked the Ministry of Rites to select the princess and kiss her. However, to the frustration of the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, the daughters of these imperial relatives are all pampered, and none of them are willing to marry in a remote foreign country. Either you can't go by saying you're sick, or you're crying and hanging, and you're coming up with weird tricks, but they're not fuel-efficient lamps. Moreover, how can these golden branches and jade leaves have the overall situation of worrying about the country and the people, it would be good if they could not cause trouble.

So the ministers spent a month to pick and choose, excluding those who were too young and had a bad temper, and there were only two county lords who met the requirements.

Mrs. Xu looked at the roster from the newspaper, stroked her beard, and said to the emperor: "Why don't you choose a woman of the right age and a kiss from among the important ministers?" ”

"If it is not the bloodline of the Zhao family, the golden branches and jade leaves, will the Xiang Qiang people agree to make peace?" The little emperor asked.

Old Lady Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Holy Lord, look, none of these county lords are willing to kiss. Even if you want to commit suicide, don't marry Xiang Qiang. ”

"Hmph, harmony is a great plan for Anguo, who dares to disobey?" The little emperor had long been unaccustomed to these clan relatives, and said angrily, "Clan ministers, the food monarch is worried about the king, and when the clan relatives are needed, they are all unwilling?" ”

Old Lady Xu persuaded: "You can use a holy decree to arrest them into the palace." But this kind of marriage that you are reluctant to marry, even if you are reluctantly married, and the princess cannot get the favor of Xiang Qiang Khan, which is not beneficial to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. ”

"I know that no one wants to go to Xiang Qiang. The county lords don't want to go, so will the minister's daughter be willing? ”

"The world is so big that there are no surprises. Perhaps, there can really be a woman like Zhaojun who is willing to go out of the country to marry a foreign country. ”

"I wish there was such a woman who understood righteousness." The little emperor put down his arrogance, "Whether it is the county lord or the courtier's daughter who will marry her in the future, I will title her Princess Anping." ”

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers of the DPRK and China were all blown up, especially those who had daughters at home, and they were even more fiercely opposed. After all, no one wants their daughter to kiss. Seeing this, Mrs. Xu had to sacrifice her children and grandchildren, and was the first to stand up and register for her granddaughter.

Mrs. Xu used her actions to gag everyone's mouths. Those ministers had to go to the Ministry of Rites and honestly report the names of their daughters.

At this time, more than 100 people were reported, and the Ministry of Rites inspected them one by one from their appearance and character, and finally left ten people.

And this woman, who doesn't know whether she is lucky or unlucky, has to enter the palace, and there are older palace people to teach etiquette.

The matter of important ministers and women entering the palace has spread all over the government and the opposition. When Qin Luo and Liu Changfeng were sitting in a tavern on the street side of Kyoto, they also heard everyone's discussions.

I only heard an uncle say: "The court wants to be friendly, and it is really unreasonable to choose the daughter of a minister." ”

Another young man said indignantly: "Those clan relatives, where are they willing to marry their daughters far away, and it is not bad if they can be drafted from the people's families." ”

A scholar said: "I heard that it was proposed by Mrs. Xu, and he also sent his youngest granddaughter to the palace." ”

"Mrs. Xu is really ruthless, Xiang Qiang, so far away. If he is really chosen, his granddaughter will marry him, and he will never see him in this life. ”

"If it weren't for the disasters and illnesses of those county lords, Old Lady Xu would not have come up with this idea." There are also old men who think of their children and can't help sighing.

"I've heard that the county lords deliberately pretended to be crazy and stupid to avoid the draft." One of them sighed and said dissatisfiedly.

"I can't say it, I can't say it." The original uncle waved his hand and kissed, who would really want to.

Qin Luo and Liu Changfeng listened attentively for a long time and roughly understood what happened. Liu Changfeng admired: "Mrs. Xu is really for the country and the people, the day before yesterday he told us about his granddaughter, so reluctant." ”

Qin Luo analyzed: "Most of those people in the officialdom judge the situation, and Mrs. Xu has to come forward, I'm afraid that the last choice with relatives is likely to be Miss Xu." ”

"Aren't there ten candidates?" Liu Changfeng asked, "Who is the kiss in the end, it should be up to Yele Shizi to choose by himself, right?" ”

Sure enough, it was still too naïve, Qin Luo shook his head helplessly and said: "Those ten women, Yele Shizi doesn't know anyone, and who to choose is not based on appearance." According to the customs of Da Chu, women are not allowed to follow other men. Even if you let the prince choose, it's just to look at the portraits of the women, and you can't see the real people. At that time, the painter's wonderful pen will determine who is ugly and who is beautiful, and who will marry far away. ”

"So dark?" Liu Changfeng was shocked, "Old lady Xu doesn't care?" ”

"When Mrs. Xu launched her granddaughter, she guessed that it would be this ending." Qin Luo sighed, "He, he's just asking the daughter of an important minister to come over to fill the number, so as not to annoy Xiang Qiang, and both sides are not good-looking." ”

"I see." Liu Changfeng expressed his admiration again, "Mrs. Xu, he is really loyal." ”

It's just that I pity that Miss Xu, who wants to stay away from her family and homeland and go to a remote place to get married and have children. Qin Luo said in his heart, fortunately, Yele Kanger has a good character, and he should take care of his wife.
