Chapter 146: Princess of the Huns

During the banquet, hundreds of officials celebrated, and there were countless beautiful words, and there were music people singing and dancing, and the banquet was hearty.

Emperor Zhaoming was very concerned about the Xiongnu envoys who came from afar, and he asked with show off and pride, "Envoys, what do you think of my Great Zhou song and dance?" ”

A thick-eyed Xiongnu envoy stood up from the banquet and made an envoy salute, "Thank you for Your Majesty Great Zhou's hospitality, we are very honored." The Central Plains is prosperous, and the joy of silk and bamboo is soft and beautiful, which is very different from my Huns. ”

"Oh, which do you think is better?"

The envoy smiled slightly, "The Central Plains is better than Duan Ya Li, and the Xiongnu are unrestrained and enthusiastic, each with its own merits." However, as a Huns, he naturally likes the songs and dances of the Huns more. ”

Emperor Zhaoming couldn't see the joy and anger, but said, "I heard that everyone in the grassland is good at singing and dancing, I don't know if the envoys are interested in giving us a performance." ”

"Naturally, it's a pleasure." The envoy said, "But our dance is shoddy, and it is really unbearable to perform, but my Hun princess has a unique dance, and I am willing to offer it to His Majesty the Great Zhou." ”

Emperor Zhaoming finally became interested, "Yes." ”

The servants of the music room faded like water, and there were palace people pushing five rows of drums, and then there was a coolly dressed woman who walked slowly from the brilliant lights, her dress was no different from the day she entered Beijing, but the clothes were more brilliant and luxurious, and her fair skin seemed to shine under the lights, which instantly grabbed everyone's attention.

She bowed, and everyone at the banquet could clearly see that the woman's slender and slender arms slowly swayed and rose, and the wide sleeves slowly slipped down, revealing white and smooth hands and neck.

The people on the edge are like the moon, and the frost and snow are condensed on the wrists.

The arm that was like the condensation of moonlight, as if it had no bones, swirled and wandered in the air, wave by wave, slowly undulating and stretching, like a spirit snake that had just woken up, stretching Miaoman's agile body. Suddenly, the woman's hands waved, and the bright red long sleeves spread down, with her slender waist twisting, with the step by step, the sleeves crossed a gorgeous arc in the air.

Her dance steps are light and shallow, accompanied by the music, either hurried or calm, and the sound of the piano suddenly becomes urgent, like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate, crisp and pleasant. She leaped into the air, leaping up, and two bright red brocade silks appeared out of thin air in her hands, meandering, wandering in the air, and conjuring into one gorgeous flower after another.

The weak and boneless figure writhed in the middle of the banquet, and the brocade ribbon with the fragrant wind fluttered around, and came inadvertently, and quickly withdrew, provoking the officials who wanted to catch the brocade to grab a handful of air, and their faces were stunned. The Xiongnu princess rotated to the front of King Qin's case, and the brocade flew to King Qin, and her eyes were charming and charming, but King Qin was indifferent, and poured himself a drink without squinting, and never took the beauty's teasing to heart.

The Hun princess looked displeased, but had to leave disappointed, she no longer wandered away from the table, but jumped to the drum to take off the drumstick, a drum danced, the stormy drum beat bang, the bright red figure swirled and jumped between the drums, light and sexy, like a seductive elf and demon girl, light and enchanting.

I don't know how many times she rotated, the drum beat gradually flattened, and the figure of the Hun princess gradually fell, just when everyone thought she was going to stop, she suddenly stretched out her sleeves, her legs were lined up in a frame, and the fiery long skirt was covered with crimson as she sat down.

Her back was straight, but she leaned back slightly, and her white and plump breasts loomed, with a half-concealed temptation. The bright red thin lips are slightly panting at the moment, and the crimson face is floating because of the strenuous exercise, and the stunning face is even more rich and bright.

At this time, it was already the end of the dance, and the audience was silent. Many of the young men present couldn't hold it, and their eyes showed a look of amazement and admiration.

After a long pause, there was a burst of clear applause, accompanied by hearty laughter, "The Xiongnu princess really lives up to her name, and she dances to the city, and is stunning!" ”

It was this sound that brought everyone back to their senses during the banquet, and then they were surprised to see that Emperor Zhaoming actually left the dragon chair and walked to the banquet, and personally helped the Xiongnu princess up, and the Xiongnu princess looked proud and proud, "Thank you for your praise Your Majesty, I have been practicing dance for fifteen years." ”

Emperor Zhaoming slowly let go of the Xiongnu princess's hand, returned to his seat, with a warm smile on his face, and instructed left and right, "The Xiongnu princess has a meritorious dance, I am very happy, reward." ”

The Xiongnu envoys stood up at the right time, "Thank you Your Majesty for the sigh of the Great Zhou, we are here on the orders of Shan Yu, intending to make a truce and peace with the Great Zhou and cultivate peace forever." The three princesses were compassionate, took pity on the people of the two countries who suffered from the war, and were willing to dedicate their marriage to the friendship between the two countries, took the initiative to marry the Great Zhou, and asked His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou to agree. ”

Emperor Zhaoming leaned forward slightly and asked, "But." I don't know who the third princess wants? ”

There are many young talents among the civil and military officials, because of the rumors of the princess and relatives, Emperor Zhaoming specially let the sons of the nobles participate in the banquet in the palace, just to deal with the current situation. In addition to the sons of Xun Gui, even the emperor's sons are only two married, which can be used for marriage, such as King Qi, he has a young heart, at this time his face is full of expectations, his eyes are shining at the Xiongnu princess, and the thoughts in his heart are self-evident.

Only the ladies of the clan were present, except for Gu Qingyi and Yan Shunying, who were already old, and they didn't worry about the Xiongnu princess taking a fancy to their husband at all. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Gu Qingyi, and the queens and concubines who have been ugly since Emperor Zhaoming went down to support the Hun princess.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see Emperor Zhaoming's interest in the Xiongnu princess, and it is normal for the queen and concubine to worry about having a young and beautiful competitor. The reason why Gu Qingyi was worried was because the Xiongnu princess showed affection for King Qin made her have to guard against it.

Sure enough, the Xiongnu princess glanced at King Qin affectionately, and bowed to Emperor Zhaoming, "Your Majesty Great Zhou, I am willing to marry King Qin, please Your Majesty." ”

There was a commotion at the banquet.

All kinds of eyes turned to King Qin and Gu Qingyi, Yan Shunying, who was sitting next to Gu Qingyi, lowered her voice and began to sneer, "Cousin, congratulations, it seems that you want to have a good sister." ”

Although Gu Qingyi was in a complicated mood, it did not prevent her from sneering at each other, "I heard that there is a new Shi Liangdi in the East Palace, I have always been worried that the crown princess will be sad, but I was narrow-minded, but I didn't expect you to be very happy." In that case, I would like to congratulate you. ”

Yan Shunying's face suddenly turned ugly, thinking of Shi Liangdi, who was given by the queen, a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, and even Gu Qingyi didn't bother to pay attention to it. Gu Qingyi had the heart to look at King Qin, only to see that his expression was calm, as if he was not the one who was proposed by the princess, he did not see joy or opposition, and he was looking towards Emperor Zhaoming, as if he was waiting for Emperor Zhaoming's decision.

Emperor Zhaoming had already sat up straight, and the pleasure of Fang Cai had also been completely subdued, at this moment, Gu Qingyi found that he was extremely similar to King Qin, just his deep and cold eyes were enough to make people frightened, his voice did not distinguish between joy and anger, but said lightly, "King Qin already has a princess, and the third princess is afraid that she will be disappointed." ”

"I'm willing to be a side concubine." The Xiongnu princess did not notice the change in Emperor Zhaoming's mood at all, and still said unrelentingly, "We Huns admire warriors, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is heroic and brave, invincible, and the most powerful Baturu." If I want to marry the most powerful warrior, it must be the King of Qin! ”

The King of Qin is the most powerful warrior, where is the crown prince and the emperor?

The prince who originally watched the show sank his face, let alone Emperor Zhaoming. Emperor Zhaoming's face was calm, and he looked at King Qin secretly, "King Qin, what do you mean?" ”

Only then did King Qin stand up and show his attitude, "Father, the son is unwilling to accept a side concubine." ”

The Xiongnu princess suddenly became anxious, "We grassland people never care about status, as long as we are with our beloved, it is enough." If King Qin is willing to marry me, I don't care about my reputation. ”

There was finally an uproar.

Don't care about the name? Isn't it that my aunt is willing to have sex with her? Many men looked at King Qin with envy and jealousy, and it was really a man's greatest pride to get such a stunner to accompany him with all his heart.

King Qin frowned slightly, "Princess cautiously, your marriage represents the friendship of the two countries, if you submit to the queen's backyard, it will really damage the face of the two countries, and please don't talk nonsense." ”

The Xiongnu envoys were also anxious, it is estimated that they did not expect their princess to act like this, and hurriedly persuaded, "Your Royal Highness the princess, there are many good sons and daughters in Da Zhou, why don't you make another choice?" ”

For a woman who has another love, Emperor Zhaoming estimated that he lost interest, and said unhappily, "What the envoy said is extremely true, my third son is not yet married, and it is enough to match the third princess." ”

However, the Xiongnu princess didn't appreciate it at all, but instead pointed the finger at Gu Qingyi, and said indignantly, "Is it that you are making a hindrance and don't want King Qin to marry me!" I heard that King Qin does not have an aunt to have sex with, as an eldest woman, you are really not lenient and charitable, and you can't tolerate King Qin having others around you. If you follow the rules of the Central Plains, you should have committed the seven sins. ”

Even the backyard of King Qin is clear, and the Xiongnu princess seems to have come prepared.

Gu Qingyi, who was charged with jealousy, changed color slightly, "Since the princess knows a lot about the backyard of the Qin Palace, she should know that there are twenty girls in the Qin Palace, and they enjoy the treatment of aunts, and the concubine has never prevented the princess from getting close to them, so the princess said that the concubine is not tolerated, which is really nonsense, and asked the princess to retract her slander against the concubine." ”

The Xiongnu princess looked at her with an arrogant face and jealousy, "Since the King of Qin has not favored them for so long, it means that he doesn't like them, as an eldest woman, you should choose to serve others for him, instead of pretending not to know and let them develop." After all, you're still jealous! ”

The smile on Gu Qingyi's face gradually disappeared, and he said coldly, "The prince has his own intentions, how can I control it?" Moreover, everyone in the world knows that our prince is not close to women, as for whether I am jealous or not, people with hearts have their own judgments. Since the third princess has entered my Great Zhou, she should follow the customs, and our noble daughters of the Great Zhou have never been willing to degenerate their identities and have a concubine room. ”

The Xiongnu princess's face was angry, "You scold me for being cheap!" ”

"The princess said that she laughed, when did this concubine scold you?" Gu Qingyi's face was calm, "Concubine Ben just praised my noble daughter of the Great Zhou Dynasty for her noble quality, and she didn't mention the princess at all, you are still the princess of the Huns, aren't you?" ”

If she insists on becoming the concubine of King Qin, she is really lowly. When the Xiongnu princess heard Gu Qingyi's unfinished meaning, her face suddenly sank.

Gu Qingyi's words were striking, and Emperor Zhaoming didn't scold, but just smiled, "Princess Qin is personally married, and I know her character best." She is now pregnant with an heir, and she is a royal hero, and the third princess should not be misunderstood. ”

The Xiongnu princess calmly did not speak, and the Xiongnu envoys hurriedly played the round, "I heard that the princess and the crown princess of Qin were personally selected by His Majesty, with outstanding talents and noble conduct, even in the Xiongnu, I have heard of it, it can be seen that you have the wisdom of knowing people, and you have no talents, whether it is a hundred officials of the previous dynasty or a royal family, they are all a piece of prosperity and Huida, which shows that the national fortune is prosperous and the well-being is extended." ”

This flattery made Emperor Zhaoming's dragon heart happy, and he no longer had to worry about the uninteresting princess of the Huns, and raised the wine bottle and laughed, "Your Excellency's words are very good, and this is what I have asked for all my life." Come, everyone, let's drink this cup together! ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and it is a blessing for your ministers."

The civil and military officials responded one after another, toasted together, and the atmosphere of the banquet was harmonious and harmonious again, as for the episode of the Xiongnu princess, everyone had forgotten it.
