Seeing my solemn expression, Xiaocao nodded vigorously to express her firm support for my decision.

I crouched on the stone fence and lowered my hands into the pond.

The fish thought it was food, and pecked around my fingertips, tickling gently.

I imagined this man's life......

The people of the Northern Regions are inferior to men and women.

Tribes, nomadic people, looking out over the wide steppes and the sky.

And the king of the northern regions, sitting in a luxurious tent, dressed in tiger skin, and the pet at hand was a little calf...... And in front of him, two rows of women sat on their knees, waiting for him to pamper them......

If I were given a marriage, I might be one of them.

Terrible......

I shook my head and asked Xiaocao, "What does he look like?" ”

Xiaocao racked his brains and said, "He has dark skin, a huge physique, a loud voice, and looks very strong!" ”

I glanced at Xiaocao: "You are describing wild boars." ”

Xiaocao blushed and scratched her head: "Xiaocao can't read, of course she can't say it, the princess will go and see it herself!" ”

Going out of my way to see a man doesn't fit my style. But since I am a guest of the palace, there is always a banquet that I need to attend, so I will naturally see it.

That is, an ordinary royal reception banquet, but Xiaocao was very interested and took out my moon shadow streamer.

Moon white is not white, but an extremely pale blue.

The gold thread and silver shavings were embroidered on the body with a needle, and as long as a gust of wind blew, the dazzle brought by this dress was like the sparkling appearance of the brook under the moon at night.

That's why this skirt is called the Moon Shadow Streamer Dress.

I didn't mean to look good, it was just too hot. This dress is very cool.

I didn't want to put on makeup, but the grass was in a good mood.

Gouache, blush, the whole face is like a pink peach. She applied it to me twice, but I was too thick, and I didn't want to waste any more time, so I wiped all my makeup with a cotton cloth and only applied a layer of bright red lip grease.

"Princess......" Xiaocao pouted, complaining that I had denied the fruits of her labor for the second time.

"Alright, let's go."

I sat down.

Walking around the snow courtyard, the tinkling sound of the piano came from the small garden.

Isn't this the ugly musician playing the piano?

I pretended not to know, and sat back on my step.

The steps turned around and the sound of the piano disappeared behind the walls.

……

The banquet was held in the Temple of Leaving the Fire.

In the wide palace, even the beams are plated with a layer of gold. All it takes is a little light, and the whole palace is splendid.

The Mother Queen sat in the center, and the Imperial Sister left her seat and was chatting happily beside her. The imperial sister has always been bold, and the male pet never leaves her, but there are foreign ministers, but the mother emperor has always been restrained. Behind her stood a row of unsmiling old palace maids, monitoring everyone's every move.

The important ministers led by the prime minister have already been seated. On the palace people's side, Taifu, as a minister, also led a group of female officials to sit quietly in the seat.

The only royal person who really attended, except for the mother emperor and the imperial sister, was me.

I saluted to the two men in the temple, and they saluted me.

After the tedious etiquette, I was finally able to sit at the table, but the imperial sister let me pass.

I walked up to the two of them and stood quietly.

"As soon as she was spoken, she came." The royal sister turned her head to look at me, her eyes sparkling, as if she had a happy event.

The mother queen didn't answer her words, but kept a straight face, and the wrinkles on her face became more obvious: "Why is it late?" ”

I'm used to seeing that I've never had a good face when she sees me.

I bowed slightly, and said gently in a childish voice: "I can't pick out the clothes that fit." ”
