178 You are the one who wants to marry

When the emperor received the envoys of Tiantongguo, Yang Heng was also on the side, but the situation at that time did not allow him to express his opinions, and then the emperor called him to the imperial study and gave him a stern warning, to the effect that he should not make a mistake for the sake of his children's personal affairs, let alone do anything that disappointed him.

Yang Heng listened calmly, did not refute or agree, and the emperor quickly put on a fatherly face, reminding Yang Heng how much effort he had put into protecting him over the years, how much he expected of him, and cultivating him as a future prince.

Coming out of the imperial study, Yang Heng returned to the house with an unchanged expression, and only a few close attendants who had been with him all the year round could feel that he was not as calm as he appeared to be.

They had a vague terrible premonition that the Qi Kingdom, which had just experienced a rebellion, might have even greater changes in the near future.

When Yang Heng and Lie Dang and several other strategists were discussing major matters in the secret room, Bai Poria had just finished reading the information of the Prince of Xiyuan's family, planned about tomorrow's affairs, and fell asleep on the bed with the little civet flower in his arms.

The palace banquet was held at noon, and Bai Poria packed up and entered the palace with Princess Antai's family of three.

Because it was to receive state guests, Concubine Cao and Concubine Zhao were obviously lacking in rank and knowledge, so the emperor still let Princess Antai enter the palace to be responsible for entertaining the princess of the Western Courtyard.

Mu Peilan personally sent Bai Poria to Princess Antai, and said solemnly: "I can't enter the palace today, so Ling'er will ask you to take care of it." ”

Princess Antai nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely return Ling'er to you safe and sound." ”

When Xuan Long and Yingluo saw Bai Poria dressed as a hibiscus out of the water, their faces suddenly turned worried, and they pulled her and whispered: "You are still in the mood to dress up, the emperor is obviously interested in matching you with the son of the prince of the Western Courtyard, if you go like this, it is possible that this marriage will be decided on the spot." ”

In the tradition of the Qi Kingdom, the queen is newly mourned, and although the officials do not have to mourn, the family members must be dressed for three months. Bai Poria is indeed dressed in plain clothes, and there are no dazzling jewelry, but the dress is chic, although it is a winter coat, it is not bloated and dull when worn on the body, but it is not a beautiful and handsome beauty, together with Xuan Long and Yingluo, who are women and often meet with Bai Poria, their eyes are straight, not to mention other people.

Bai Poria snorted and said: "How can I dress up, it's because I am naturally beautiful and difficult to give up, okay!" Besides, even if I go to Jing Hai cloth skirt, the barbarian will look down on me, and the emperor will change his mind? ”

The two county lords also made sense when they thought about it, they knew Bai Ling's temperament better, she was so calm, she must have a plan in her heart, so as not to let herself fall into danger.

Yingluo scratched her face and said: "You are the most beautiful, and your skin is very thick, and you are not ashamed to praise yourself all day long!" ”

Bai Poria gave her a big roll of her eyes and said, "When did I beat around the bush and praise myself?" I'm obviously praising myself very directly! ”

Xuan Long was troubled by the two of them, and she was also relaxed, Princess Antai took Bai Poria's hand and said, "No matter what, I will never let me marry to Tiantongguo." "Last night, she had already figured it out, and she was desperate to turn her face with the royal brother, and she must not let Bai Poria marry into Fanbang. In the end, their Yang family owes a lot to the Bai family, Bai Poria is Mu Peilan's only daughter, the *** son of the Bai family, if something happens, she will never have the face to see her good sister again.

Bai Poria dared to make a fuss, but also relied on the presence of this elder who really loved her, and the losses she could suffer were limited.

Today's palace banquet was held in the Ziyun Palace, which is slightly smaller than Huilan Palace, and during the state funeral, even if it is to receive foreign guests, it is inconvenient to make a big deal. The atmosphere of the Qi country is more open than that of the previous dynasty, although most of the female guests are unmarried ladies of the Qi country, but they just erect a screen between the banquets of the male and female guests, and the meaning is just to distinguish the meaning.

Princess Antai specially arranged for Bai Poria to sit with Xuan Long and Yingluo County Lord, Bai Poria swept over the dozens of daughters present, and found that Xia Xinxin was also among them, but the infinite scenery of the stars and moons in the past was gone, and most of the young ladies intentionally or unintentionally kept their distance from her, secretly looking at her with pity or schadenfreude.

Xia Xinxin didn't say anything, but when she found Bai Poria's eyes, she was slightly stunned, and Bai Poria winked at her playfully, Xia Xinxin remembered what happened yesterday, and couldn't help it for a while, regardless of her demeanor, she gave her a big roll of her eyes.

The purpose of holding this banquet in the palace is obvious, that is, to go on a blind date for the third son of the Prince of the Western Courtyard. Marrying to the same country is not a good thing to be happy about, so the daughters who love to compete in clothes and decorations on weekdays, take advantage of the national funeral, almost all of them withered in white, lest they be looked down on.

When the princess of the Western Courtyard walked into the main hall accompanied by Princess Antai, she saw the outstanding white Poria at a glance, and couldn't help but move in her heart, such a beauty, even in the palace of Tiantong Kingdom, has never seen it! I don't know whose daughter it is?

The princess frowned secretly, she didn't want her son to marry a woman who was too beautiful to go back and cause trouble. Tiantongguo is not like Qi and pays attention to etiquette and morality, it is not uncommon for their clansmen to draw swords against each other in order to compete for a woman, even if that woman is already someone else's wife, as long as the strength is strong enough, it can be snatched over.

The emperor of Tiantong Kingdom, together with his crown prince and several other princes, are all lustful, and although his son is a famous warrior in the country, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not cause trouble because of this.

The host and guests were seated separately, and the banquet officially began, and only the princess of the West Courtyard and Princess Antai answered each other on the side of the female family, and the other women were silent, lest they be noticed, which was in stark contrast to the lively atmosphere on the other side of the screen.

The princess of the West Courtyard vaguely understood their intentions, and she was very unhappy in her heart, if it weren't for her husband's repeated explanations, she wouldn't have chosen these low-eyed and weak women as her daughter-in-law!

The princess glanced at the women at the scene, and asked Princess Antai with a smile: "Who is our future crown princess?" ”

"She is about to get married, and she didn't come, so the princess was disappointed." Princess Antai has already thought of a rhetoric, the twelfth princess is now being confined in the palace, she colluded with Cui Zhenyi to murder Bai Poria, and she must be punished, and the most important thing is that she is afraid that she will make a big fuss at the banquet and mess things up.

It is imperative to sign an alliance with the Heavenly Kingdom, and there is no room for negligence.

The princess of the Western Courtyard didn't know what to do, and despised the twisting and pinching of the woman of the Qi Kingdom in her heart, and instead asked about the topic she was most concerned about: "I heard that there is a young lady in your country who can make the beast bow down to his orders, I wonder if you can let me see it?" ”

This matter was said by several warriors who were responsible for escorting the gifts to Kyoto in Qi Kingdom first, and the four people all spoke in one voice, and described the scene they saw in the animal park that day, and the Prince of Xiyuan's family did not believe it very much, but the four warriors swore that they did not believe it, and they couldn't help but believe it. The three of them were curious about what kind of woman could have such magical abilities.

Those warriors once said that the young lady was as beautiful as a fairy!

These four people are samurai who are very valued by the prince of the Western Courtyard, and they often go in and out of the palace of the Western Courtyard on weekdays, and they can be regarded as having seen a lot of beauties.

Originally, the prince of the Western Courtyard wanted his son to marry a woman from Qi State, which was purely a *** consideration, and Dao Jin didn't think so, but marrying one more woman was not a big deal for him, so he didn't bother to object, and now he heard that his warriors said that Qi Guo had such a magical and beautiful woman, and he suddenly had a different mind - if he wanted to marry Dao Jin, he would marry such a beautiful and powerful woman.

Emperor Qi once said that the woman would also come to the banquet today, and the princess of the Western Courtyard couldn't wait to see her.

Princess Antai also knew that she couldn't hide, so she pointed at Bai Poria and said: "It's that young lady, she is the granddaughter of Bai Changshan, the head of my Qi domestic cabinet, named Bai Poria Cocos." ”

The princess of the Western Courtyard was stunned, how could it be her?! This little girl looks like she will fall down as soon as the wind blows, saying that she can tame the beast? Brag about it!

In terms of appearance, Bai Poria is very much in line with the description of "fairy-like" in the mouths of those warriors, but the princess of the Western Courtyard knows that the first assistant of the cabinet is an authentic civil official, and the granddaughter of a civil official can tame beasts? What are you kidding? She has grown so big, it is a problem whether she has seen a tiger or a black bear or something.

"It's really a person who can't be ...... to look at" The princess of the West Courtyard smiled a little stiffly, and she didn't believe it at all in her heart.

At this moment, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from the side of the screen, and he laughed and said loudly in Qi Guohua with a strong Tiantongguo accent: "My son is the first warrior of Tiantongguo, and if he wants to marry a wife, he naturally hopes to marry a heroine who is both beautiful and courageous!" ”

Princess Antai looked awe-inspired, and sure enough, she came! Looking at Bai Poria who still looked indifferent, she couldn't help but wonder, what method could she do to make this matter yellow?

On the other side of the screen, a slightly younger man's voice continued: "After Dao Jin entered Beijing, I heard that there is a Miss Qi Guo who can tame the many fierce beasts sent by my Tiantong Kingdom, I wonder if I am lucky enough to see the beauty with my own eyes?" His accent was not as heavy as the previous man's, but he could tell that he was from the same country.

The eyes of all the young ladies here fell on Bai Poria cocos, and what happened in the zoo was not very clear to Xia Xinxin, let alone the others? However, there is a previous conversation between Princess Antai and the princess of the Western Courtyard, everyone knows that the one who tames the beast is Bai Poria, and the two men who spoke just now do not need to ask the father and son of the Prince of the Western Courtyard.

Now people want to see it by name, and the one who married the third prince of the West Courtyard can't run away from the nineteenth is Bai Poria Cocos, and for a while, most of those daughters are secretly happy.

Some of them gloated and thought: What about being beautiful and having a prominent family? Don't you want to marry a barbarian yet?
