Chapter 129: Means
Although the Shangyuan Festival is over, Tuoba Yan and Tuoba Mu, as the envoys of the Nanzhao Kingdom, have not left.
Some things have not been resolved yet, and they naturally need to stay in Dongchu for a few days.
As for the purpose......
In fact, it is also obvious.
Marriage!
The marriage between Nanzhao and Dongchu is also very simple, since the other party is the prince and the princess, then they Dongchu naturally choose from it.
Either marry the princess of Eastern Chu to Tuoba Mu, or let the prince of Eastern Chu marry Tuoba Yan.
Although with the current strength of Eastern Chu, there is no need to go through the means of marriage at all.
But since others have already hinted at it, how can they have to choose from it, why can't they let their family run for nothing.
Tuoba Mu and Tuoba Yan were honored as guests of honor in Eastern Chu as envoys of the Southern Zhao Kingdom.
To be honest, Tuoba Mu is not very interested in several princesses in Dongchu, the eldest princess and the second princess have already started a family, and he has seen the remaining three princesses, but he doesn't feel much about it.
In fact, he doesn't necessarily have to get married, if Tuoba Yan marries, the effect will be the same.
And Tuoba Yan originally planned to push the marriage to Tuoba Mu, but after taking a fancy to Prince Li, she changed her mind.
If that person is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dongchu, it is not impossible.
Tuoba Yan, who was dressing in the mirror, thought about it while drawing her eyebrows, pursed her lips and smiled, her appearance was gorgeous.
Tuoba Yan is undoubtedly confident, she knows that there are many beauties in Dongchu, but she still feels that she can stand out among the many beauties, because she is the most different beauty.
Casually glancing at the maid who had followed him to Eastern Chu from Nanzhao, Tuoba Yan asked lightly: "Let you inquire about the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Eastern Chu, how is the inquiry?" ”
When the maid heard this, she bowed her head respectfully, and said obediently: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the slave maid heard that the prince of Dongchu will go to the school to practice riding and archery at noon......"
"Nap?!"
Tuoba Yan frowned slightly, and glanced at the maid with dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you say it earlier?!" ”
It was less than a quarter of an hour before noon, and it was a little tight when she packed up and rushed to the school grounds.
The maid hurriedly admitted her mistake, and waited for Tuoba Yan with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and her movements were extremely careful.
Probably thinking that the maid's movements were too slow, Tuoba Yan couldn't help but be a little irritable, and directly pushed the maid away to tidy up by herself, and her tone was a little impatient.
"Forget it, you can stay and go!"
When the maid heard this, she was a little at a loss and stayed aside in fear.
After tidying up, Tuoba Yan made sure that his shape was in the best condition before going out.
The maid subconsciously wanted to follow, but was stopped by Tuoba Yan.
"What are you doing with the past?! Get in the way! ”
Tuoba Yan didn't hide her unhappy mood at this time, and couldn't help but regret a little that she didn't remember to bring a clever maid when she came to Dongchu.
He glanced at the maid with disgust, and ignored her.
The maid stood aside in fear, and did not dare to speak.
In fact, she was originally Tuoba Mu's maid, but because the maid serving Tuoba Yan was injured on the road, she was replaced to serve.
Tuoba Yan, who went out, directly asked a maid in the palace to lead the way.
The place where she was arranged was still some distance away from the school field, which made Tuoba Yan, who had always been treated by Jin Gui, a little impatient, but because it was not her own territory, it was naturally difficult to show it.
When he saw Prince Li who was riding and shooting, Tuoba Yan's mood improved, and after getting a haircut and raising a confident smile, Tuoba Yan walked over.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, good arrows!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so cheap?!
At first glance, when he heard the sudden female voice, Prince Li was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, who was so bold to say that he was so cheap.
Turning his head to Tuoba Yan with a smile on his face, Prince Li suddenly had a bad premonition.
If he had to describe the Tuoba Yan he saw at this time, it was probably a female cat that made a strange noise in a certain season.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Prince Li maintained his demeanor as the prince of Dongchu, and calmly dismounted: "The princess is here to practice archery?" ”
Tuoba Yan's smile stiffened for a moment.
Practicing cheap?!
Although he knew that Prince Li didn't mean this, Tuoba Yan still had a strange feeling in his heart.
Also, what kind of arrows do you practice?! She's not full and has nothing to do.
Although he thought so in his heart, Tuoba Yan was still very smart to follow Prince Li's words.
"The prince doesn't know, my Nanzhao country is good at riding and archery, both men and women......" Tuoba Yan smiled confidently, looking at Prince Li's eyes revealing an unusually bright color, which can be described as affectionate.
It's a pity that Prince Li didn't intend to receive Tuoba Yan's obviously suggestive gaze, and his eyes fell on the school field behind him: "If the princess is interested, I welcome the princess ...... at any time in the Dongchu campus", as long as you don't show up when I'm here, I don't mind when you come.
Prince Li's smile was just right, without a hint of love for the day, nor did he look at Tuoba Yan, almost businesslike.
Tuoba Yan was a little unwilling.
Of course, Tuoba Yan can't give up so easily, and if it were another woman, she would probably be a little embarrassed, but Tuoba Yan, as an ambitious woman, of course, is more and more courageous.
Tuoba Yan glanced at Prince Li, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accompanies him, Yan Yan should come as he wishes, what fun is it to be alone!" She said in a slightly subdued voice.
Taizili: "......" If he had a chance to choose again, he would definitely not choose to come to the school today.
Prince Li chuckled, "The princess said that she laughed, if the princess is willing, I have more ...... who are willing to ride and shoot with the princess", everyone else can do whatever you want, don't pull me anyway.
Prince Li's smile didn't reach the depths, and he felt that his patience was running out a little bit.
Speaking of which, a woman is really a troublesome creature.
Tuoba Yan listened to Prince Li's words, and choked, she didn't expect that she had already hinted at this point, and the prince of Dongchu didn't accept it at all.
She didn't believe that Prince Li didn't know the purpose of her and her brother's coming to Dongchu, and with the current attitude of the Emperor of Dongchu, she could see that he was happy to marry.
So she was sure that the emperor of Eastern Chu must have been ruthless about what Prince Li had said, and if so, Prince Li should not have this attitude towards him at all.
Thinking of this, Tuoba Yan's gaze at Prince Li was obviously mixed with a bit of resentment.
Prince Li remained silent, but in fact he had goosebumps.
Of course, the emperor discussed with Prince Li about the marriage, but they didn't plan to let Prince Li and Tuoba Yan marry, first, they didn't want to interfere too much with Prince Li, and second, Prince Li had not yet stood firm in the court, and it would not be good if there was a concubine from another country in the backyard.
As for whether to marry the princess of the country to Tuoba Mu or let Tuoba Yan choose one of the three princes and the eldest prince, there is no conclusion yet.
Tuoba Yan glanced at Prince Li, who was where the old god was, and couldn't help biting her lip slightly.
When did she receive such treatment, you must know that as the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, she has to be windy and rainy, even if she is a sister together, she must bow down to her, which has long been her competitive nature.
Unwilling to give up so easily, Tuoba Yan quickly made another move.
Smiling firmly, Tuoba Yan pretended to glance at the horses on the side inadvertently, and then smiled.
Prince Li calmly waited to see what other tricks Tuoba Yan had.
In other words, although some Tuoba swallows are very ambitious, this method is really not very clever, and it is basically used by others.
Tuoba Yan: "I don't know...... Can Yan Yan compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? She said expectantly.
Tuoba Yan is very confident in his riding and shooting, if I say that beauty can't attract you, I still have the strength.
Tuoba Yan said so, although Prince Li didn't seem to take care of her, he had to agree because of the current situation.
Besides, it's just a competition, compared to flattering eyes, or other means, Prince Li hopes not to have too much contact as much as possible.
He didn't know what Tuoba Yan thought, to be honest, he himself was very disgusted with the kind of woman who could see at a glance that Ligu was lacking in heart, and he exuded a disgusting aura all over his body.
Really......
Prince Li's eyes darkened, but the smile on his face did not change at all.
Seeing Prince Li's still gentle smile, Tuoba Yan thought that she had aroused Prince Li's interest, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart.
In the following time, Prince Li watched Tuoba Yan's 'means'.
This is not quite the same as the 'means' of the noble girl of Eastern Chu, but it remains the same.
Prince Li looked at Tuoba Yan who had obviously counted the horseback riding salutes, but deliberately fell down when he dismounted, but said with a serious face: "What are you doing standing stupidly!" Don't hurry up and help the princess up! ", Prince Li said to the maidservant on the side.
The maid reacted immediately, trotted up to Tuoba Yan, and helped her up.
Tuoba Yan's expression of pretending to be in pain cracked for a moment, but it was quickly concealed, and the afterglow caught a glimpse of the unmoved Prince Li, and Tuoba Yan was so angry that his teeth itched.
She didn't expect that Prince Li would be so 'rock-solid'.
Under the general shape, even if you don't like it, you won't let a girl fall down and be unmoved, and it's probably a subconscious action to help you up, but Prince Li's reaction was unexpected.
Tuoba Yan tried to suppress the anger in her heart, she knew very well that she had no way to accuse Prince Li of anything.
First of all, there is nothing wrong with Prince Li's approach, if she is angry and angry, she will expose her deliberate behavior, and she doesn't want to do this kind of thing.
Prince Li sighed: "I'm sorry I didn't help the princess, I'm really worried about damaging the princess's reputation ......," he said apologetically.
If you talk about pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, no one can compare to Prince Li.
At this time, the crown prince Li obviously wanted to laugh out loud, but he still had to make a very sorry expression.
Tuoba Yan: "......"
Hurriedly sorted out her emotions, Tuoba Yan smiled embarrassedly: "It's okay, Yan Yan also wants to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness......
The word 'kindness' almost popped out of Tuoba Yan's mouth one by one, and it could probably be seen how difficult it was for her to say it.
A smile flashed in Prince Li's eyes.
This is called, the sins of heaven are forgivable, but the sins of oneself cannot be lived!
After that, Tuoba Yan thought of some tricks to seduce, all of which were perfectly resolved by Prince Li, and in the end, it was not early, and Tuoba Yan had to leave the school unwillingly.
