Chapter 107: Sorry, I don't like it
Those eyes with a clear smile, as if full of flowers, the moment he found that he looked at Shen Ninghua, the brown eyes shook slightly, like a lake wrinkled by the breeze, with bursts of waves.
Obviously, there were a lot of people in between, but Shen Ninghua was sure at a glance that Bu Jinglan was looking at herself, she turned her head, and there was a hint of coldness between her delicate eyebrows.
Bu Jinglan's mother and Baili Jinze's mother are not from a high background, but the fates of the two are completely different. Baili Jinze's mother gave birth to him and returned to the west, and Baili Jinze had to be sent to other concubines to be raised. And Bu Jinglan's mother has a very high wrist, not only saved the child safely, but also relied on this child to rise to the top, so that the emperor made an exception to give the prince to her who was still a noble person at the time to raise herself, and later promoted her position many times, until now she has become the concubine of the lord of the first palace.
Baili Anning stood next to Shen Ninghua, watching the prince Li and Bu Jinglan have a lot of dealings, turned his head slightly and said in a low voice: "It stands to reason that even if the Great Yue Kingdom wants to make peace, it shouldn't send such a weighty prince, Ninghua, do you feel that things are a little strange?" ”
Princess An Ning's mind is keen. Shen Ninghua looked up at Bu Jinglan, who had an unparalleled demeanor, and smiled slightly: "This time, they are famous for asking for marriage and marriage, and they will be able to know a thing or two at the banquet later." ”
Baili Anning nodded, turned his head and saw Bu Jinglan's countless handsome faces, not only felt his heart beating wildly, but only felt indescribably elegant and beautiful.
Turning his head and seeing Baili Anning's flushed face, Shen Ninghua was stunned, it seemed that Bu Jinglan was really charming.
Because the identity of the envoy this time was the prince, the welcome banquet was held in the Chengqian Palace, and Shen Ninghua was arranged to sit next to Baili Anning and the Ninth Princess Baili Anqing.
Shen Ninghua frowned slightly, she had long heard that the envoy of the Great Yue Kingdom was here to propose marriage, and everyone's eyes had long been focused on the princess's seat, and she was just the emperor's daughter, but she was arranged between the two princesses, and she became the most conspicuous person at once.
It seems that someone is trying to get out of the way. Changing seats at this time will only be more noticeable, she can only stand still, Shen Ninghua sat in the seat with an indifferent expression, but her heart was cold.
The ninth princess on the side rarely showed up because of her poor health, but this time she sat next to Shen Ninghua and Baili Anning, and she was more and more foiled and had no sense of existence.
Everyone speculated in their hearts about the purpose of the emperor's arrangement. Chu Junyi held the wine glass in his hand, and a vigorous anger flashed in his eyes, the black girl was what he was striving for, and it was not enough to hold it in the palm of his hand as a treasure to protect Youjue, but now he was being sold like a commodity, how could he not be angry! Thinking about it, his eyes couldn't help but sweep over Bu Jinglan, who was sitting on the main seat of the guest, and a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes.
The atmosphere of the banquet was particularly lively, and the envoy of the Dayue Kingdom began to praise the land of the Da'an Kingdom with a wine glass, and sang all the way to the emperor's wisdom, and he couldn't stop laughing when he heard it.
Baili Anning sat aside and listened to the envoy's constant boasting, and smiled quite funny: "Ning Hua, that person is interesting, and he is qualified to be an envoy with this mouth." ”
Shen Ninghua smiled slightly: "This person is the famous Zhang Tiezui, it is said that he once relied on the two participating in his imperial history with one mouth and died on the spot. ”
"What? How powerful is he? ”
"Well, moreover, this person is not only powerful with a mouth, but also has a smart mind, and you should know that the Jingyi Fu, which is still widely circulated, was written by this person in order to praise the Kyoto of the Great Yue Kingdom."
Baili Anning was extremely surprised, she thought that this envoy Zhang was a person who was good at slapping horses, but she didn't expect that Jinxiu was so talented.
Shen Ninghua looked at Envoy Zhang, who was still talking, and secretly wondered in his heart, the team sent by the Great Yue Kingdom this time is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, in order to marry a friendly imperial concubine, do you really need such a big battle?
After about a quarter of an hour, the envoy Zhang retreated. The sixth prince, Bu Jinglan, stood up with a wine glass: "Your Majesty the Emperor, thank you for your hospitality, I will do this glass of wine first to express my gratitude." ”
Baili Qingcang nodded, and said with a vague smile: "The two countries of Dayue and Da'an have good relations, and it is even more conducive to the long-lasting friendship between the two countries to make exchanges, you don't have to be so polite." ”
Bu Jinglan smiled, with a dazzling look on his handsome face, and his temperament was like jade: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I think you should have heard that this time I came to Da'an to show that the two countries are friendly, and secondly, I want to marry a woman as my princess, and the two countries will not fight for a hundred years from now on." ”
Baili Qing smiled loudly: "Okay, the two countries can't afford to marry, this is the best, my daughters are only the fifth princess Baili Anning and the ninth princess Baili Anqing are not married, you ......"
Bu Jinglan interjected, with a warm and doting emotion in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I don't pay much attention to my background in Da Yueguo, whether it is a princess or a common person, as long as we can be happy with each other, I will carry a sedan chair to marry her and become my princess, and I will carefully care, respect and love her all my life." ”
Bu Jinglan was already handsome, but now he looks affectionate, which makes the woman fascinated.
Shen Ninghua saw Baili Anning and Baili Anqing with a flushed face, and his heart moved slightly, it seems that this sixth prince from Yue Guo is going to stir the hearts of many girls in the Da'an Dynasty, but he doesn't know who he will marry in the end.
was interrupted, Baili Qingcang didn't feel much displeased, but was interested in the meaning of his words: "You mean that this marriage no matter your identity, as long as you see it, you will marry the imperial concubine like ordinary people?" ”
Bu Jinglan smiled: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Queen Zhao Huiying, who had been sitting on the side without interjecting, suddenly spoke: "This statement is interesting, Your Majesty, if the woman that the six princes fancy is really an ordinary person, why don't you recognize her as a righteous daughter, reward the name of a princess, and fulfill a good story between the six princes and her." ”
Before the queen's voice fell, someone on the side had already answered: "What the queen said is very true, speaking of which, isn't the county lord of Zhaohua also the righteous daughter recognized by the emperor?" ”
Everyone's eyes fell on Shen Ninghua, and many people showed their eyes watching the show.
The queen wants to marry herself! Shen Ninghua put the teacup in his hand on the table with a faint expression: "If my father recognizes a righteous daughter again, she can just be my companion, but after all, the marriage between the two countries is a major event, and the identity must be equal." ”
Yes, the marriage is for the peace of the two countries and can be exchanged for a long time, if the six princes really marry a commoner back, how much attention can they get? I am afraid that it will not play a role in consolidating the relations between the two countries.
Bu Jinglan turned his head to look at Shen Ninghua, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
After the ceremony, Shen Ninghua's appearance became more and more colorful, she seemed to have a fascinating temperament, like a fire when it was strong, like a cloud when it was elegant, no matter which side was impressive and unforgettable.
"This is the county lord of Zhaohua, I have long heard of the county lord's reputation, but I have never had the opportunity to see it, today I saw it and realized that it is better to be famous than to meet, the county lord is really beautiful as a fairy, not like a mortal."
Such a straightforward appreciation made everyone dare to be novel, and they all waited to see how Shen Ninghua responded.
"Thank you for the compliment." Dayue's national style is open, and women can also make great achievements, Shen Ninghua knew this, so he didn't shirk at all, and directly took Bu Jinglan's praise.
Bu Jinglan became more and more surprised in his heart, he thought that the women of Da'an Country were as weak as silk grass and needed to rely on trees to live, but he didn't expect that there would be Shen Ninghua like a verdant bamboo, and what was even more gratifying was that she was still so beautiful and smart.
The wine glass in Chu Junyi's hand made a crisp click, because the hall was full of human voices, but it didn't attract the attention of others. He threw the broken wine glass on the table with a blank face, picked up the cloth towel next to him and wiped his hands carefully.
"Your Majesty, this time I hope to get Your Majesty's permission to let us stay longer, so that we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Da'an, and if we meet a suitable candidate for the imperial concubine, we can also have more time to understand each other and cultivate feelings." Bu Jinglan was frank and blunt.
Baili Qingcang nodded: "Well, that's right." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor."
The identity of the six princes was not enough for Baili Qingcang and Zhao Huiying to accompany them throughout the whole process, and after half of the banquet, the emperor and queen left early, leaving only the prince and some courtiers to take care of them.
The ninth princess Baili Anqing was pulled aside to play, and Baili Anqing saw that there was no one around, so she asked: "Ninghua, you should have felt it just now, the queen mother seems to want you to kiss." ”
"Hmm." The last time the emperor asked her to go to Ningkun Palace, she thought that she didn't show the slightest hint of hindsight, but the queen should still be suspicious of her. Because of her mother, the queen knew that Baili Qingcang cared about the old feelings and would not easily dispose of herself, so she came up with a way to deal with her by marrying far away. Even if there was no sudden visit from Bu Jinglan and others, the empress would find a way to send herself far away from Kyoto.
Without the emperor and queen, some court officials also left, and the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became more enthusiastic, and many people were already coaxing to see people perform their talents.
didn't expect that Baili Anqing would be pushed out in the end, and the ninth princess immediately asked for help and pulled Baili Anning over.
Shen Ninghua didn't want to mix, so he sat on his seat and drank tea slowly.
Bu Jinglan came to Shen Ninghua's side at some point, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhaohua doesn't seem to like the atmosphere here. ”
Shen Ninghua shook her head: "Why don't I like it?" It's not easy to be so lively on weekdays. ”
Bu Jinglan smiled, and his expression was relaxed: "I thought that the county lord would like quiet and peaceful things, after all, the county lord seems to be a quiet person." ”
"The sixth prince guessed wrong, I hate silence." A trace of disgust flashed in Shen Ninghua's eyes, she had lived in the cold palace for so many years, she often didn't even have anyone to talk to, and when she couldn't bear it, she banged her head against the wall, so as to make a little noise.
"That county lord will definitely like our Dayue Kingdom. Both young children and elderly people are very good at singing and dancing, and we can see a lively scene everywhere. ”
Shen Ninghua smiled coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't like it." ”
