Chapter 118: Marriage
With the flying music, Parry's long arms stretched, her slender fingers twisted out beautiful flower fingers, raised her chin, revealing her fair-skinned jade neck, her toes were light, like a beautiful butterfly, spinning lightly, her waterfall-like ink hair flew wantonly in the air, like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, which was intoxicating.
The emperor, who was sitting on top of 10,000 people, looked at the beautiful dance of the princess of Southern Xinjiang motionlessly, and his smile deepened and his eyes became confused.
The music slowed down, and she finished her last graceful dance, and her veil fluttered to the ground.
As Tong Yan fantasized, her nose is beautiful and straight, her delicate lips are like peach blossoms in March, slightly upturned, with a goose egg face that is too fat and too thin, with fair skin, and her eyes that are as dark as the night but full of stars, it is really beautiful.
After seeing her full appearance, both men and women, a trace of amazement flashed in their eyes, different from their beauties in the Central Plains, this beauty is so beautiful and gorgeous, but it has a cold and indifferent temperament, so contradictory but so coordinated, it is unforgettable.
The hall was silent.
"The princess of southern Xinjiang is indeed beautiful and moving." The Queen Mother smiled and appreciated, breaking the silence.
The emperor came back to his senses, laughed twice, and the meaning of praise was overflowing, "This dance is indeed very beautiful, graceful, and pleasing to the eye." As if the verbal praise was not enough, he gave a bunch of jewels and ornaments to the princess of southern Xinjiang.
All the people in the hall whispered praise.
Ji Yue looked at Parrydai's beautiful face without blinking, and sighed in a low voice, "It's so beautiful, except for the county lord, the maid has never seen such a beautiful person!" β
Tong Yan is self-aware, although she is beautiful, she is not as beautiful as this princess of southern Xinjiang, at least for now. She is only thirteen years old, no matter how good-looking she is, she is also a yellow-haired girl, very young, but this princess of southern Xinjiang looks seventeen or eighteen years old, not only has a beautiful face, but also has an extremely perfect figure, both tall and graceful, like a rose that has just bloomed.
She glanced at Ji Yue and said with a smile, "You are partial to me, this princess of Southern Xinjiang is much more beautiful than me." β
Ji Yue was unhappy, "You are beautiful and don't know it, when you reach her age, you will definitely be much more beautiful than her." β
Tong Yan smiled and said nothing.
A trace of disappointment crossed the eyes of the second prince and quickly disappeared, and he thanked his sister together.
This time, his main purpose is to give Parry to His Majesty as a concubine, but even if His Majesty doesn't mention it now, it doesn't matter, it's still early.
He looked at Shi Shiran returning to the banquet and said with a smile, "Parita means fairy in Chinese, and she also has a name called Moon Princess in our southern Xinjiang." β
"Moon Princess." The emperor muttered and repeated, he looked at the second prince and agreed, "This name is good, the princess has a peerless appearance, just like the fairy Chang'e of the Moon Palace, it is very appropriate!" β
Concubine Jiang Shu couldn't help it, she had to admit that this princess was indeed young and beautiful, if her husband was not a saint, she might only look at it with appreciation, but as an imperial concubine, she really couldn't treat this woman who might compete with her for favor in the future.
She rolled her eyes and sighed in a low voice, "I really only hear the newcomer laughing, how can I hear the old man crying, and soon there will be new sisters, and this harem will be lively again." β
The queen glared at her with a smile, her lips moving slightly, "Sister, what nonsense is my sister." β
Jiang Shufei snorted without smiling, and elegantly picked up the fruit pulp and dipped it on her lips.
Tong Yan quietly craned her neck and looked at Cheng Huai.
He was sipping the sake in the jade cup with ease, as if everything in the temple had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, as if he felt Tong Yan's gaze, he looked at her through the main hall, and was making eye contact with her, Cheng Huai laughed and raised the jade cup in his hand.
Tong Yan couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, looked at him for a moment, and lowered her head a little shyly.
She thought of something, looked up again, and quietly observed the others.
There are many children of the same age who look at Parry Dai obsessively, not only these hairy boys, but also many officials with long beards in their thirties and forties who also show an obsessive gaze, occasionally smiling and holding wine glasses to cover up their gaffes.
Tong Yan lowered her eyes silently.
Fortunately, it is the princess of Southern Xinjiang, if it is not for the high status, ordinary woman, with such beauty, coveted by these magnates, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape.
Just like she used to......
The singing and dancing were leveled, the cups were staggered, and the four princes of southern Xinjiang also went to the palace to perform a set of boxing techniques.
He was the same age as Parryd, although he was not as good as the second prince and ParidΓ©, but he was also delicate and strong, and the emperor also rewarded many treasures.
Listening to the words of the second prince, when he returned to Beijing, he not only wanted to dedicate ParidΓ© to His Majesty, but also wanted to choose a princess of the Central Plains for the fourth prince.
And this fourth prince is also the only son of the queen of southern Xinjiang and the only concubine of the king of southern Xinjiang, if there is no accident, this will be the future king of southern Xinjiang.
But despite this, there was still a trace of fear on the faces of the many nobles in the hall.
No matter how good the name of the queen of southern Xinjiang is, it is better to stay in the Central Plains and marry a good family.
Where can southern Xinjiang compare with the prosperity of the Central Plains, remote and fierce, uprooted from home, maybe you will not be able to return to your hometown for the rest of your life, no one will not be able to think about it, and is willing to marry it.
Princess An Le sighed, and said disdainfully, "Who wants to marry, it's far away and remote, and I can't even go back to my mother's house, and I don't know who is so unlucky." β
Shuning also frowned, but no matter who marries her, it will not be her turn, she is a princess, and in a place like Southern Xinjiang, whether it is Daddy or the Manchu Dynasty, they will not agree to let her marry.
Listening to Princess Anle's words, Concubine Jiang Shufei lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
The emperor readily agreed, the posture of southern Xinjiang has always been very low, they have never been at war with southern Xinjiang for a hundred years, and they have always been very harmonious, not to mention that they are asking for their son-in-law, and the heirs born in the future will also bring them Han blood, why not?
The second prince was very satisfied.
However, the emperor did not immediately appoint a candidate, but said that he would choose a good one.
In the afternoon, the emperor took everyone to the East Garden, so that these outstanding children of the family could show their riding and archery skills on the field.
The Queen Mother was old, so she didn't follow.
Tong Yan and Shu Ning and Mingyi sat together again, and the three of them hadn't gotten together for a long time, and they were all very excited.
Mingyi pouted with some disappointment and said, "It's a pity that Sister Zhou can't come, otherwise we will gather." β
"It's better not to come." Shuning yawned and said vaguely, "You see, tossing from early in the morning, it's all afternoon, and it's really tiring to see what kind of riding and shooting again." β
"You're not seventy or eighty, what are you tired of, I haven't seen enough of the morning singing and dancing, look at the moon princess, it's so beautiful, will you enter the palace as a concubine?" Mingyi squeezed his eyes and urged the narrow.
