Chapter 264: Choosing with Relatives

There are always a few palace banquets, singing, dancing, food, wine, and nothing new when you see more, even if this time they made a new dance for the envoys of the southern border.

But it went down quickly, not quite like the usual style.

Just when Bai Xiyue was puzzled, Nan Chuanli suddenly stood up with a wine glass, "This first cup of wine is for the emperor of Tianyuan Kingdom, who can make such a big country well-governed, the country and the people are safe, and he must be a good monarch who loves his courtiers and benefits the people." ”

The emperor was also very face-saving, picked up his wine glass, the two looked at each other, and drank the wine in their hands at the same time.

I thought this was the end, but he picked up another glass of wine, "This glass of wine is for the regent, I have long heard that the regent is brave and good at fighting, and it is a good sword of the emperor. ”

Although the emperor was not satisfied with his praise of the regent so much, he still had to do enough to save face, after all, he could fight in his own nest, but he must be consistent with the outside world, and he could not let others see the jokes.

When he saw that the regent was not moving, his face suddenly became a little unpleasant, and he said jokingly: "Yichen, our brothers are fine, but in front of outsiders, we can't be so unruly." ”

He said it in the tone of an elder brother teaching his younger brother, but no one could hear anything else.

Gu Yichen glanced at him lightly, picked up the wine glass, drank it all, Nan Chuanli didn't say anything more, and sat back down.

After drinking, the emperor glanced at Xia Li, he immediately understood it, ran to Lord Hua and said a few words, and returned to the emperor's side.

Soon, two beautiful women stepped forward and said slowly: "The courtiers have seen the emperor and know that they will receive the envoys from the south today, so they have specially prepared a tune. ”

The emperor is very tolerant, "You can be regarded as having a heart, and everyone will judge whether it is good or not, and your intentions are always good." ”

"Yes!"

Then the two sisters, one holding the pipa, the other wearing a dance skirt, the cheerful tune sounded, and the woman danced in this tune, like a butterfly in the flowers, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off.

Lord Hua is very satisfied with the performance of the two of them, their Hua family has always been not valued by the emperor, and now if one of the two of them is favored by the emperor, maybe there will be a chance to turn the tables, which makes him not happy.

Liu Ruzhu is very disdainful, this little trick has long been used by her, and these people may not know it, the emperor this time, he wants to choose someone to go to the south and kiss, but not to fill the harem, what is there to be happy about.

Wang Zixuan sat next to the second prince, did not speak, these things did not happen at all in her previous life, let alone a so-called seventh prince, everything around her was strange to her, every word she said, every decision she made, she had to be cautious, think twice, make a wrong step, she had no chance to turn back.

Wang Ziying also came this time, now she is pregnant in July and August, it is not easy to come out and move around, and it is not easy to come to such a crowded occasion, but he just doesn't want to see Wang Zixuan's smug expression, and he must suppress her as a concubine.

It can be seen that the two sisters of the Hua family have also worked hard, dance and tune, such a tacit understanding of integration, is not something that can be practiced overnight, it is obviously behind the years of hard practice.

Maybe Mr. Hua is waiting for such an opportunity to turn the tables, but I don't know if he can succeed.

But Bai Xiyue doesn't care much about these, and her father is no longer an official in the court, so there is no need to face these intrigues.

Wei Wan and Wei Qing also came to the banquet, the two of them didn't say a word, their behavior was also cautious, and their positions were remote, which was not easy for people to notice.

Although Lord Wei and Mrs. Wei sat in an obvious place, they were also trembling, such a thing happened not long ago, and now they did not dare to make a mistake at all, for fear of angering the emperor, in exchange for a result of being beheaded.

As soon as the song stopped, the dance was finished, and everyone applauded their face.

This moment reminded Bai Xiyue that when she used to listen to the principal's lecture in elementary school, no matter how naughty the students were below when he spoke, as long as someone applauded, they also applauded.

Those few years of carefree time were her happiest days, and she couldn't help but laugh every time she thought of this.

"What are you laughing at?" Gu Yichen turned his head inadvertently, but when he saw her so unburdened and smiling from the bottom of her heart, that expression obviously thought of something, which made him very curious.

Bai Xiyue immediately came back to her senses, put away her smile, and said perfunctorily: "It's nothing." ”

After the two sisters of the Hua family went down, others came up one after another, but there were always so many things on display, and there were not many people who were really proficient, so it was boring to look at.

Dark Six didn't know when he arrived at the palace banquet, walked to the regent's side without a trace, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Gu Yichen's face changed, and Bai Xiyue noticed his abnormality, "What's wrong." ”

"There are some little things I have to deal with, you just sit here and watch the play, I will come back immediately, and you must not run around." He habitually rubbed her head and left.

Although Bai Xiyue was very curious, she didn't keep up, she knew her lost physique, and she didn't know how many dangers were lurking in the palace, and it was safe to be in such a crowded place.

However, even if it is such a simple sitting, it is very tiring, after all, you have to hold the shelf all the time, you can't do all kinds of paralysis as you like, and you will want to stand up and move after a long time.

She put her hand under the table and rubbed her leg without a trace, such a subtle movement was seen by Nan Chuanli.

The corners of her lips smiled involuntarily, this princess is really strange, she was quite obedient just now, and as soon as the regent left, she didn't even pay attention to her image.

"Nan Gongzi, I heard that you came this time, not only to express your sorrow, but also to have the idea of taking away a girl from Tianyuan Kingdom, I don't know if it's true." The emperor suddenly asked.

Nan Chuanli did not hesitate, stood up and replied generously, "That's right, the king of the southern realm appointed me this time, it is indeed to find a woman to go and make peace, so that the relationship between our two countries will be stronger and inseparable." ”

As soon as these words came out, the women who had just performed were all up and down in their hearts, although they sounded very beautiful, but in fact they were not happy, they not only had to marry thousands of miles away in the south, and endure the pain of separation from their families, if the two countries got along peacefully without war, it was good to say, but if there was a war, the woman who was close to him was equivalent to a victim.

They must be reluctant to do such a thing, but the marriage has never been able to make their own decisions, and even though there are all kinds of bad, but it is beneficial to the family, not only can they receive many rewards, but they may also be able to add officials to the knighthood, and there are joys and sorrows for a while.

When the emperor heard his answer, he naturally smiled and immediately said: "There is no princess of the right age under my knees, but the people of this Tianyuan Kingdom are all my people, you can choose one of the unmarried women of the right age present, and I will crown her as the princess of Taiping, and send her to be married." ”

Nan Chuanli immediately thanked respectfully, and immediately carried six or seven large boxes up, and opened them one by one in the hall, all of which were some rare treasures, countless cherished playthings, so that the eyes of those young ladies who were unwilling to kiss just now lit up, with their family and life experience, they would definitely be sent to win over the relationship, if this is the case, it is better to marry far away, become the queen of the king of the south, and enjoy it.

Of course, people who think like this are generally some women whose fathers are not of high rank, or who are not happy at home, will have such thoughts, and people like Liu Ruzhu, who have been held in the palm of their hands since childhood, will not be willing to go to such a remote place.

The emperor can be regarded as having seen all kinds of treasures, but among these things brought by Nan Chuanli, none of them he has ever seen, and it is also very novel for a while.

"These are all for Tianyuan Kingdom, as a gift for willing relatives, as for the princess dowry, because it is too much and too valuable, it is still on the way to be transported, but when it comes to kissing in a few days, it will definitely be delivered. ”

Nan Chuanli did not ignore the amazement in everyone's eyes, but there was some ridicule in his heart, just now they were disdainful, seeing these things, they were afraid that they had another idea in their hearts.

The emperor did not refuse, and immediately ordered someone to accept it, and at the same time sent a lot of return gifts.

Bai Xiyue is not interested in those things, this king of the southern realm is also a smart person, knowing that rare things are expensive, so he brought these things.

If they knew that this gorgeous and exquisite thing that money could not buy in the Tianyuan Country would be used by ordinary people there when they arrived in the southern border, and it was a commonplace ornament, they didn't know how they would feel in their hearts.

Just looking at the sincerity of this gift, it is not much better, pity the woman who is going to be sent to kiss, I am afraid that it will not be long before the two countries will start a war again, and she will be caught in the middle, and there is only a dead end.

"The king of the southern realm has a heart, I don't know which girl Nan Gongzi has a crush on." The emperor has not forgotten his business.

Nan Chuanli was very polite, he didn't choose it personally, as for why, it can be seen from the emperor's eyes, he said that those words were just polite, in fact, he already had an idea in his heart, just waiting for him to push the boat down the river and say this person.

He was also very cooperative, and said respectfully: "As long as we can ask for a woman from the Tianyuan Kingdom, it is already an honor for our southern border, where do you dare to choose, it is naturally up to the emperor to decide, and the person you choose must be the best." ”

The emperor waited for his words, and when he talked to a smart person, it was more worry-free, but with one or two glances, he could understand what the other party meant.

"In that case, I really have such a suitable candidate in my heart."
