Chapter 22: Marriage?
It's not like my room...... It's not like Yanwang's Mansion.......
Could it be that I was kidnapped by that person named Lu Youyuan?
She didn't have time to pick up the coat that was put on the side, so she ran out in a panic and hit Ji Yucheng headfirst.
"Still so reckless." Ji Yucheng smiled, walked into the room, and placed a bowl of white porridge on the wooden table.
"Why are you here?"
"This is my palace, why do you think I'm here?"
"Your palace? So how did I end up here? ”
"I think so." Ji Yucheng poured tea and said, "I said I would take you home." "You, why are you looking at me like that?" Ji Lianmei was stared at like this by a beautiful young man, and she couldn't help but be shy.
"Lu Youyuan, who is it?" Ji Yucheng asked.
Ji Lianmei was afraid of exposing that she was not the real princess of Liu Guo, so she casually prevaricated: "He, he thinks he is an old man." ”
Ji Yucheng saw that her eyes were dodging, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed. He drank all the tea in the cup and said to Ji Lianmei.
"Today, my father has important matters, and all the princes will go, and as the princess, you must also go with you."
He got up and left.
After Ji Lianmei freshened up and dressed up, only Yuruo and Mafu were left waiting at the door.
"Yuruo, what about the heirs of Yuyu?"
"Oh, the prince, he will go first, let the slave wait here for the princess." Yuruo replied.
What kind of person is this, one second he was very gentle and considerate, and the next second he took the wrong medicine and ignored her.
"Yuruo, let's go."
Hmph, if you ignore me, I'm too lazy to take care of you.
King Cheng's Mansion was very close to the palace, so the carriage quickly entered the palace.
At this time, all the princes and princesses were already waiting in front of the Mingde Palace.
Ji Jingchen beckoned to Ji Lianmei: "Lianmei, here, here." Ji Lianmei walked towards that side when she heard the sound, and when she passed by Ji Yucheng's side, she snorted coldly at him to relieve her anger.
"Where did you go last night, I sent people to search the entire palace but couldn't find you."
"Oh, nothing, I'm not coming back, am I? Hey, what's going on here. Ji Lianmei patted Ji Jingchen's chest and smiled heartily.
"I heard that a princess of the Xianbei tribe came to discuss something with her father inside. It's probably for the sake of harmony. ”
Ji Lianmei came late, and she talked and laughed with Ji Jingchen like this. The princesses who had gathered together whispered.
"Hey, look, isn't this the princess of Liu Guo?"
"yes, didn't she give that straw bale? How can you be so close to the second prince. This woman, eighty percent of them feel that there is no future for following the Nine Princes, so they choose someone else. ”
"I heard that the second prince went to His Majesty to ask for it. But I have to say that the Nine Princes are really good-looking. ”
"Good-looking? Can it be eaten as a meal if it looks good? The three princesses, the three princes of your family have both ability and political integrity, you are naturally full and don't know that the hungry are hungry. ”
Just as these women were talking happily with each other, the senior father-in-law beside Wu Jinggong came out and shouted sharply: "Your Majesty has a decree, announce the princes, and the princess will meet you." ”
The prince and princess lined up to enter the main hall in response to the sound sequence.
"Long live my father, long live, long live."
After everyone was seated, Wu Jinggong said: "I invite you to come today, mainly for the princess of the Xianbei tribe, Asai Beina, and her relatives. ”
Hearing the word harmony, the prince with a wife and concubine began to whisper to the princess, and the prince, who had not yet married, was thinking about the stakes of this harmony in his heart.
"The princes don't have to be nervous, this time they will be married, and the princess of the Xianbei clan will personally choose her husband."
As soon as the words fell, a woman slowly walked out of the back of the hall. He has long wavy blond hair, black eyelashes like a thick fan under a golden veil, and light blue eyes are full of mysterious charm like a bonfire. The exposed slender waist and beautiful legs, white jade-like skin, and mysterious exotic customs all shocked most of the unmarried princes and ministers present.
However, naturally, there are still some princes who have become a family who are attracted by this Xianbei princess, but they dare not blatantly express their hearts because their princess is by their side.
Asaibena took off her veil, revealing her alluring countenance, indifferently scanning the admiration in the eyes of the princes.
Suddenly, her gaze rested on a person.
"That's it. She walked up to Ji Yucheng, pointed at him, and said, "I will choose him to be my husband." ”
What the? Ji Lianmei slapped the table and got up, almost blurted out, and said, "No." (Russian)"
Asai Beina was stunned for a moment and asked Ji Lianmei: "Who are you, how can you understand the language of our Xianbei tribe?" (Russian)"
Although none of them could understand what they were saying, except for the envoys and khans of the Xianbei tribe, the strong smell of gunpowder emanating from the two of them was enough for everyone to understand what they were talking about.
"Ji Lianmei, don't be rude to Princess Asaibena." Wu Jingcheng ordered Ji Lianmei.
Asaibena leaned over to Ji Yucheng's ear and said to him in stumbling Chinese, "You are still the first man who is indifferent to my beauty, and I admire you." You will be my concubine, I promise, my Khan will do his best to help you ascend to the throne, how about it? ”
"Princess Xie's intentions, however, Yucheng is not interested in this matter, and I hope that the princess and the khan can choose another son-in-law." Ji Yucheng stood up, smiled politely at Asaibena, and politely declined her request.
The princes present couldn't help but talk a lot.
"You said this Yu Cheng, are you stupid? With his current power in the government and the opposition, he is at most on the same level as the cook in the imperial dining room. If you marry the princess of the Xianbei clan, you will have military power in your hands. Ji Jingchen whispered to Ji Lianmei.
"Don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. People may be ambitious and don't want to be upside down sons-in-law. Ji Lian gave him a white look.
"By the way, how can you speak Xianbei?"
"This........ I've traveled to Xianbei, these ...... Of course I can understand the basics. ”
Ji Lianmei's minor language at University is Russian, but unfortunately she doesn't seem to have a talent for the language, and she doesn't study it seriously, so she can only understand some of the basic language.
Looking at Ji Yucheng's stunning face, Ji Lianmei fiercely inserted the chopsticks into a plate of vegetables and pulled them out. Thought:
Big pig's trotter, if you really run away with this Asaibena, I will break off with you.
"Princess Asaibena, since Cheng'er doesn't want to kiss, then I can't force him. Among my many princes, there are also several candidates who are no less talented and beautiful than Cheng'er, not as good as princesses......"
"No need, Your Majesty," said Asai Bena, "our Xianbei clan has always been affectionate, once we recognize a person, it will not change in this life, I am sure that Ji Yucheng will accept me, please fulfill it." ”
The interpreter simply translated her words to Wu Jinggong, and after Wu Jinggong listened, he glanced at Ji Yucheng again and replied, "Since the princess is so insistent, then follow what you say." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Asaibena cast a defiant look at Hime Reimi.
Since this day, Asaibena has become a frequent visitor to the palace of King Cheng. Ji Yucheng not only did not drive her away, but also placed another wing room for her in the other courtyard.
Wherever Ji Yucheng went, she followed. Ji Yucheng did some things like cutting potted plants, watering flowers, practicing calligraphy and the like, although Asai Beina felt bored, but she still accompanied him one by one.
"Your Highness, this princess of the Xianbei clan follows you day and night, I'm afraid that if she hears something, our plan will ......." Xiao Yige said to Ji Yucheng while Asai Bena was asleep.
"No problem. I think Princess Asai Bena may be able to come in handy at a critical moment. Ji Yucheng smiled indifferently, "The strength of the Xianbei clan should not be underestimated, if it can be used by the Great Song Dynasty, it will naturally be like a tiger with wings." Right now, I still need to follow her wishes, and she will willingly do things for me. ”
While Ji Yu was pleasing the beauty, Ji Lianmei was still painstakingly studying the Chonghuadian case. The secrets of books are difficult to solve, and who knows that it is not easy to meet Xianbei Khan. He either went hunting on horseback with the emperor Lao'er, or went on a tour with the attendants around him. Ji Lianmei entered the palace every day, not to mention Tuoba Han's person, and he didn't even see the corners of his clothes.
"Hey........ Forget it, I can't think of any other way for the time being. Why don't you go out into the streets first? Ji Lianmei muttered to herself.
The weather outside is fine, and Ji Lianmei's mood is also much better. Whenever you walk through the street of Gusu Market, it is full of people.
"Princess, princess........" In the distance, there was a soft cry of a girl.
Ji Lianmei looked back and responded with joy: "Yuruo, why are you here." ”
"I'm going to buy some ingredients. Hey, princess, don't you know, since that princess Asaibena lived in the Chengwang Mansion, she has tormented our subordinates, either because the house is old and needs to be renovated, or because the dishes made by the cook are not appetizing. No, I can only go out and find some beef and mutton or something to make dinner for her. Princess, the slave misses you so much, when will you come back to the palace. Yuruo took Ji Lianmei's hand.
"Wait, Yuruo, you mean, Asai Bena, she lives in King Cheng's Mansion now?" Ji Lianmei was surprised.
"Yes, princess, the prince also connived at him to mess around like this."
"Let's go, Yuruo, let's go home." Ji Lianmei said through gritted teeth.
Okay, you Yucheng, you know that the little vixen is interesting to you, and you dare to bring her into the house for me. If I don't teach you a good lesson, I'll change my surname to you.
Compared with the menacing situation on Ji Lianmei's side, Ji Yucheng's side is still quiet.
"Princess Asaibena, what you are doing here is something very boring, and you don't dare to delay the princess's time here. I can send someone to accompany the princess and pick you up later. Ji Yucheng put down his pen and said to Asai Bena, who was dozing off on the side.
