Chapter 18: Princess Athea
After Ling Yuwei returned to the room alone, the worry in her heart did not decrease, all she thought about was Nangong Yi, and she didn't know what he was busy with now.
I heard Nangong Jin'er say just now that Ali Zhuo, the leader of the Ava tribe, and the little princess Asiya will arrive in the capital tomorrow, which makes Ling Yuwei's heart even more uneasy.
Although nothing is happening now, experience has taught her that sometimes the more worried she is, the more likely it is to happen.
In fact, Ling Yuwei's worries are not unreasonable.
Since Asya is a princess, the colt to choose cannot be idle, so it is very likely that she will choose among the princes.
And there are very few princes in Nanling Kingdom, and there are only three people who have reached the age of marriage, Nangong Yi, Nangong Yu and Nangong Ye.
And among the three of them, Ling Yuwei felt that the best was of course Nangong Yi, so she was worried that Asya would choose him as a concubine.
Ling Yuwei thought about it a lot, but in the end she didn't come up with a result, so she decided not to think about anything anymore and let everything take its course.
At this time, someone in the palace sent an invitation, it turned out that a grand banquet was going to be held in the palace to welcome Ali Zhuo and his little princess, and as the future princess Yi, Ling Yuwei naturally wanted to be invited.
Ling Yuwei glanced at the invitation card in her hand, it was just in time, anyway, she also wanted to see what kind of 'girl' that Princess Asya was.
The next day, Ali Zhuo arrived at the palace with Althea smoothly, and the whole way was very lively.
In order to welcome their arrival, the palace also held a grand welcome ceremony, and the welcoming procession was led by Nangong Yi and waited outside the palace 'gate'.
"Leader Alizhuo, Princess Asiya, welcome to the Southern Spirit Kingdom." When Nangong Yi saw Alizhuo and Asiya appear outside the palace 'gate', he said to them in a friendly and enthusiastic manner.
"Lord Yi is polite." Ali Zhuo and Nangong Yi had also met before, so they could recognize each other.
"It turns out that you are Lord Yi, and Asya has saluted you." Asiya's good-looking eyes were a little curious, and she looked Nangong Yi up and down, because she had heard Ali Zhuo mention it before, but she had never seen it with her own eyes.
"The princess is polite, a feast has been prepared in the palace, please follow me into the palace." Today's Nangong Yi has always had a faint smile on his face, because he knows very well that the emperor has always wanted the Ava tribe to return to the Nanling Kingdom, and this time may be the best opportunity.
"There's a prince of labor." Ali Zhuo smiled heartily and took Asya to follow Nangong Yi into the palace.
And Ling Yuwei has also come a long time ago, but she is still a little uneasy, because she has not seen Nangong Yi since she entered the palace.
"Leader Alidro, Princess Althea has arrived." Just when Ling Yuwei's heart was full of doubts, the shrill eunuch's voice sounded.
As the eunuch's voice fell, Nangong Yi walked in, and behind him was a middle-aged man with a long beard and a beautiful young 'girl' in a fiery red dress.
Ling Yuwei's eyes fell on the young 'girl' in red, needless to say, she should be Princess Axia.
Looking at it from a distance, although it is not clear to see, it can also feel that this Princess Asya should be a big beauty, especially her red long dress, with a unique exotic style, which makes her look more delicate and charming.
And her beauty doesn't seem to be different from other beauties in Nanling Kingdom, she looks more unrestrained, like a passionate fire, without a trace of 'female' weakness.
At this time, Nangong Yi also saw Ling Yuwei, and a trace of 'agitation' flashed in his heart, he hadn't seen her for several days, and he didn't know if she was doing well, so he wanted to go to her side now and tell her what he thought in his heart.
It's just that now he still has a task in his body, so he has to give up this idea, and can only look at Ling Yuwei with his eyes, conveying his thoughts to her.
Ling Yuwei also noticed Nangong Yi's deep gaze and gave him a gentle chuckle back.
Receiving Ling Yuwei's smile, Nangong Yi also felt more at ease, now he just wanted to complete the task quickly so that he could return to her.
"Leader Alizhuo, Princess Asiya, welcome to the Southern Spirit Kingdom, please take a seat." The emperor and the queen also smiled and welcomed warmly.
"Ali Zhuo led the little 'girl' Asya to see the emperor and queen." Ali Zhuo took Asya to give a special salute to the emperor and queen, although it was a little different from the etiquette of the Southern Spirit Kingdom, but it could also be seen that he respected the emperor and queen very much.
"The banquet is about to start, so you're welcome." The emperor smiled and brought Alizhuo and Asya to the position specially prepared for them, and said in a friendly manner.
"Your Majesty, will there be any fun programs at the banquet?" As soon as the emperor's words fell, Asya asked a little impatiently, with a bit of innocence and expectation in her big black and white eyes.
"Hehe, of course there is, as long as the princess likes it, I can prepare any show." The emperor was slightly stunned, but soon laughed heartily.
"Asiya, don't be rude." Ali Zhuo shouted a little eagerly, and then said to the emperor embarrassedly, "Asiya, this child is spoiled by me, and he always speaks unruly, please forgive the emperor." ”
"It's okay, the princess is really innocent, why is it unreasonable?" The emperor's face was full of smiles, and he didn't mean to blame Asya at all.
"Then can the emperor tell Asiya what programs are there?" Asiya stuck out her tongue at Alidra and continued to ask.
"I specially arranged singing and dancing programs for you, as well as competitions for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and so on." The emperor thought about it and told Asya about the prepared programs one by one.
"Your Majesty, Asya has a small request, I wonder if the emperor can agree?" Asya didn't seem interested in the show the emperor was talking about, but continued to ask her own questions.
"It doesn't matter if the princess asks for anything." The emperor was a little surprised, and he didn't know what Asya wanted to do.
"Those things that sing and dance, poetry and songs, Asya can't do it, but Asya wants to ask the emperor to arrange a martial arts competition, I don't know if it will work?" Althea quickly said her request, and her beautiful eyes were full of anticipation.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, the 'female' son of our Ava tribe may not know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, but she must be able to know martial arts, so the little 'female' has always been curious about the kung fu of Nanlingguo." Ali Zhuo was worried that the emperor would blame Asiya, so he quickly explained.
"I see, I'll arrange it right away." After listening to Ali Zhuo's words, the emperor finally understood why Asiya would make such a request.
"Asiya thanked the emperor here." Seeing that the emperor had agreed to her request, Asya jumped up happily, without a trace of conformity, dignified and virtuous appearance.
And all this was seen by Ling Yuwei, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the scenes in front of her seemed familiar......
