Chapter 338: From afar
In a few days, the princesses of the clan who came in response to the letter gradually arrived, no more, no less, exactly ten.
Among them, more of them were the hostile side of the attack in the battle between the two alliances, that is, the ones who sent the proton before. Therefore, most of the princesses this time have just left the palace and come back.
The meaning of sending the princess here is not only to express the meaning of seeking goodness, but more importantly, it is also the meaning of abandonment.
Perhaps, in the eyes of some clan kings, these princesses should not have gone back in the first place.
Half of these girls came with a relative's mood, and no matter how calm they pretended, they couldn't hide the sadness on their brows.
Shi Wang slightly anticipated the current situation, so he had some compassion for these girls, and his eyebrows were kind, not as strict as before.
Coincidentally, the princess of the Su country also came, and she was recommended by the five clans together, saying that she was gentle and virtuous, and she was the best candidate for the queen of the son, and she would definitely be able to take charge of the harem affairs.
If they can be selected, the five countries are willing to form a good alliance with Zi Xi for Qin and Jin, and form a hundred-year covenant.
This meaning is faintly threatening compared to the recommendation, as if not standing up to her will affect the diplomatic relations between the country.
Shi Wang still has a faint impression of this princess, but he only remembers that she seems to have had some contradictions with Si Li, but it is not clear what it is.
Come to think of it, this may also be a child who has been taken advantage of.
Shi Wang couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but he couldn't change anything.
The princesses rested in the palace for a few days, changed into the most gorgeous costumes, and began to hold a banquet for you.
"All the princesses have come from afar, and some thin wine is not a tribute." Shi Wang raised his glass to invite, and the princesses naturally agreed, and raised their glasses one by one to congratulate.
"My aunt has wine, why don't you invite me to taste it too."
King Li strode over, and the princesses saluted him, and some of them who had never seen him bowed their heads, but still secretly observed.
King Li sat down next to Princess Yuanping, and the waiter put another pair of dishes and chopsticks for him, poured wine, and drank it all.
"It just so happens that Your Majesty is also here, so let's meet all the princesses, and perhaps, your future queen." Shi Wang said to King Li with a smile.
When King Li heard this, he first raised his glass and stood up, and said to the princesses: "Today, I want to thank you princesses for coming to my son's attack, although the current candidate has not been decided, but your wishes, this king has received it." No matter what the outcome is in the future, Zi Xi welcomes all the princesses. If you and I don't have a chance this time, Zi Xi is also willing to introduce the ministers of the court to the princesses, and it is lucky to be able to become a good match. If not, it's a good story. ”
The ten princesses in the audience couldn't help but talk to each other.
Unexpectedly, this time I came to the back position of the sub-attack, although it was not an inevitable result, but if I went back without choosing, it would be a bit embarrassing.
But if you marry a minister, it will be another loss of face.
This is how they can say good.
"Will King Li really marry us to the minister? Can all civil and military generals? A princess dressed in blue stood up and spoke directly to King Li, looking at her posture, she didn't seem to be stunned at all.
"This is ......" Shi Wang had never seen her, and he didn't think she was a person in the proton.
The woman replied, "I am the princess of Boguo, just call me Bao'er." ”
The princess on the side couldn't help but laugh.
But she didn't show embarrassment, and generously admitted: "That's right, it's Bao'er." My father and queen mother have said that I am their treasure, so why should I be called so badly? ”
"Princess Bao'er," Shi Wang liked her slight naivety, and said with a smile, "Even what His Majesty King Li said, it is naturally true, just rest assured." ”
Princess Bao'er sat down with confidence.
"Princesses, let me stay in peace during this time. In order to avoid boredom, I have specially arranged some people who can take you to my Hindu to play. Just pay attention to safety, don't get lost. ”
I have long heard that Zixi's Xingdu is very prosperous, but with a slight glimpse on the road, I can see a little bit of it, and let them go out to play, naturally they can't ask for it, and they are very happy at the moment.
In the face of King Li's sudden arrangement, Shi Wang did not pursue it, but only asked slightly, and it was over.
"Auntie doesn't think this is inappropriate?" King Li asked.
Shi Wang just smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, what's wrong with it." My aunt was also thinking that it would not be good for those princesses who were not chosen to be sent back. Since His Majesty has arranged more options, isn't it better. It's just that in order to reassure people's hearts, they should be given more rewards, just for the sake of national relations. ”
King Li naturally agreed, and praised Shi Wang again and again for thinking more thoughtfully.
The princesses sobered up in the evening, and on the second day they dressed up and prepared to go to the capital.
Qi Ping has no military affairs outside recently, so he is waiting in the capital, and the matter of escorting the princesses to play will be handed over to him.
He led the horse, waited in front of several carriages, and saw a blue figure running before him and standing still.
Qi Ping arched his hand and said, "The princess is going out to play." Please get on this car. ”
Qi Ping asked her to get in the car, but found that she didn't move, and when she looked up in confusion, she saw a pair of bright and smiling eyes looking at her.
"You don't know me anymore?" Princess Bao'er asked, "The year before last, the bandits of my Bo Kingdom fled rampantly, and it was General Qi who helped to pacify it." ”
Hearing her say this, Qi Ping didn't remember whether this princess had seen it or not, and even had only vague memories of that incident, but he was still polite and humble for a while, and said that it was the obligation, and there was no need to worry about it.
Princess Bao'er took him by the hand and asked him, "Will you ride with us later?" ”
"Playing is a princess's business. The princesses will need to be kept safe, not for fun. As long as the princesses can have fun. ”
"Then I'll be with you, and the scenery on horseback will be better."
Saying that, Princess Bao'er was about to get on the horse, but Qi Ping hurriedly stopped her, but he didn't dare to touch her skin, so he could only half-kneel and say: "Princess, it's dangerous immediately, please go to the car and sit down." ”
Princess Bao'er just wanted to get on the horse, but unexpectedly he knelt down directly, and was not happy, so she had to obediently listen to him and get into the first carriage.
Along the way, all the princesses looked at everything on the street with novelty, even the melons and fruits that they had never seen before, the ups and downs of the cries, and the costumes of the common people, all of which seemed very different from those in the country.
Unlike those people, Princess Bao'er kept sticking her head out of the car window, and the noise could not take away her attention, but looked at the very upright and silent back in front of her, and she was just as happy.
