Without waiting for Prince Ren to speak, Princess Naren had already clapped her hands and asked the maid to give Yaoqin: "Your Royal Highness, do you like to listen to Jurong's Han music, or do you like to listen to the music of our grassland?" ”

This time, she still didn't wait for Prince Ren to answer, so she asked herself: "Then I'll play a song for both of you." ”

Of course, Naren Gaowa's piano skills are not as good as those of the court musicians, but she can also play melodiously and beautifully, Prince Ren was greatly surprised, he did not expect that the Tatar woman, who was regarded as a barbarian, could have such a high musical attainment.

Prince Ren still has a lot of respect for talented people, even if he is in front of what he once thought of as a barbarian. Princess Naren Gaowa saw that Prince Ren was listening carefully, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and her charming eyes were like autumn waves, which made Prince Ren lose his mind for a moment, but fortunately, he quickly calmed down and continued to listen to the piano.

After Princess Naren Gaowa finished the performance, she smiled at Prince Ren again, and asked lightly, "Do you think the prince can be friendly with this palace?" ”

Prince Ren was speechless, he still felt that Princess Naren Gaowa was too old and not worthy of the supreme emperor in his mind.

In fact, Emperor Yongchang is also in his forties, more than ten years older than Princess Naren, but that is the emperor, what kind of woman he wants, he has what kind of woman, and naturally he will not wronged himself, and he wants a woman who is about to grow old.

Princess Naren was a little embarrassed when she saw that Prince Ren didn't speak, and Wang Ying, an official of the Ministry of Rites next to Prince Ren, said in a round: "Her Royal Highness the princess has played two tunes, and she must be tired, why don't you rest first?" ”

Princess Naren misunderstood, and she said angrily, "Do you think I'm a patient? I'm tired from playing two pieces, and I still have a lot of energy. With that, she stood up, looked around, and then pointed at Wang Ying, "I can still compete with you in archery, do you dare?" See if I can beat you. ”

Wang Ying is embarrassed, he is a civil official, and he can't shoot arrows at all.

"What? Don't you dare to compare with me, or do you look down on me, thinking that I can't compare to you? You people of the Jurong Dynasty are like this, you love to look down on people the most. ”

"I didn't underestimate you, I am—" Wang Ying's face turned red in embarrassment.

Princess Naren turned her gaze to Prince Ren: "Your Royal Highness, Prince Ren, do you look down on me and don't let your subordinates compete with me, or do you disdain to compete with me?" I heard that you have been a marshal of the three armies in Western Xinjiang for ten years, so your archery skills must be very good, right? Can you let Hongu see and understand? ”

Wang Ying finally recovered, and he glared: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please respect yourself, the prince and His Royal Highness are both daughters, how can they test archery at will?" If there is a mistake, who will bear it? ”

"What can you miss by shooting an arrow? You're still laughing at me and looking down on me. Princess Naren was angry again, her big eyes looked at Prince Ren angrily and aggrievedly, and the old prince's heart immediately felt a little distressed, and he couldn't see the beauty sad.

Princess Naren flattened her mouth: "Lord Wang, do you also look down on me?" Won't you compete with me? ”

Princess Naren's long curly black eyelashes blinked, and a pair of charming eyes flowed like waves, gently sweeping over Prince Ren's face, and the old prince said that he couldn't help himself. Several of his side concubines and concubines, although they are about the same age as Naren, or even younger than her, they are all supple and respectful in front of him, either low-voiced or soft and delicate, they have never been so forcefully persecuted, nor have they had such a hot style as Naren Gaowa, Prince Ren couldn't help but shake his heart, and involuntarily stood up: "Try it." This king has been slightly ill in recent years, and he hasn't touched the bow and arrow for a long time, and the level of this archery must have been greatly reduced, hahaha. ”

As soon as Princess Naren heard that the prince had agreed to her proposal, she immediately became happy, walked to Prince Ren's side with a smile, and walked out side by side with him: "Your Royal Highness, your martial arts are strong and heroic, and you can defeat Aguda, who is known as the steppe wolf, this palace has heard of you since I was very young. Today, I am fortunate to appreciate the immortal martial arts of the prince, and I am really fortunate to have three lives. "Slightly stiff Chinese, but the compliments are very appropriate, the crisp voice like a silver bell, not at all like a thirty-year-old woman, but like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, with a hint of coquettishness and sweetness, Prince Ren almost walked with the same hands and feet, he had to stand up slightly, adjust his posture, and then continue to move forward. Princess Naren Gaowa raised her eyebrows when she saw it, pursed her red lips, and was secretly proud in her heart, turned her head to smile at Prince Ren, who had a straight back and walked like stepping on a cloud.

There was still a short distance between the tent where Prince Ren had met and the school field where he could compare arrows, and he brought horses for him, and Prince Ren had just sat down and urged the horses, and Princess Naren Gaowa had already driven her horse over and walked with him.

When the officials of Jurong saw it, they secretly slandered the Tartar women as barbaric, and they even walked side by side with their noble prince, and they didn't pay attention to the guards of men and women at all, but Prince Ren didn't say it, and who of them dared to come forward and point it out?

When I finally arrived at the school grounds, someone had already come over in advance to make arrangements. Seeing the strawman target with only a hundred steps, Princess Naren was very dissatisfied: "Ouch, prince, at such a close distance, can they treat us as little dolls of seven or eight years old, and they can't pull a hard bow?" ”

Prince Ren explained very thoughtfully: "The princess's daughter's body, it's just a competition, and it's not going to the battlefield, so there's no need to retreat so far." "He hasn't practiced martial arts for a few years, and he is not sure in his heart, no matter how far away he is, he will still be able to have an accurate head. Fortunately, Naren Gaova did not ask for it.

"Lord Wang, will you come first, or will I come first, or will you come with one person and one arrow?"

"One man, one arrow." Prince Ren felt that he would be able to rest in this way.

"Okay, okay, how many arrows shall we try?"

"Three arrows."

"Too little, too little, how about five arrows?"

"Five arrows are five arrows. Princess, please! ”

"Lord Wang, please!"

The two stretched out their hands to make an invitation gesture, and looked at each other and smiled, like an old friend for decades, which made Prince Ren feel a burst of excitement in his heart, it was a bit of a blind date when he was young, he hadn't been like this for a long time. At this moment, Prince Ren seems to have returned to his youth, full of strength, and there are not so many worldly fetters in his heart, with a passionate gaze in his eyes, quick action, and a stirring heart.

Princess Naren Gaowa's arrows are very precious at a glance, the back of the hardware bow is inlaid with precious stones, and the steel bowstring is shining in the sun, and she pulls out one from the quiver and puts it on the string: "Your Royal Highness, I want to shoot the head of the straw man." The tone of speech is not like a competition at all, but the girl is coquettish like a lover.

"Okay, Her Royal Highness the princess will definitely be victorious." Prince Ren looked at Princess Naren Gaowa with a smile, and his tone was full of love.

"I'm going to!" After Princess Narenkova finished speaking, the expression on her face became serious, she closed one eye, narrowed the other, and looked forward from the arrow.

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he knows if there is one, and the onlookers may not be able to see the clues, but Prince Ren knows that it is good, Princess Naren Gaowa is by no means a showman, her archery skills have reached a very high level.

Serious women are the most beautiful, and Prince Ren was almost stunned, thinking that Princess Naren Gaowa was more beautiful than several of his women.

In fact, it's just a different style, because Princess Ren is always cowardly and cowardly, and Prince Ren spoils her abnormally, causing a misunderstanding to outsiders, thinking that Prince Ren likes such a woman the most, so the Queen Mother rewards, and Mrs. Chen, are all beauties of this style, like Princess Naren Gaowa, a bold and hot, colorful, colorful and charming woman, where does Prince Ren not feel fresh and novel?

Under Prince Ren's gaze, as soon as Princess Naren let go, the arrow flew out.

"Hit, hit, hit the head." There was the sound of a target being announced.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is so accurate, good archery!" Prince Ren arched his hand and congratulated.

Princess Naren Gaowa smiled, like a beam of sunshine suddenly coming out on a cloudy day, the heavens and the earth were bright, and she stretched out her hand to Prince Ren with a bright smile: "Lord Wang, please!" ”

Prince Ren couldn't help but have a heartbeat, this was by no means a recurrence of heart disease, but a beautiful smile, which was heartwarming.

When Prince Ren came, he also brought a bow and arrows, which were used for self-defense, so there were not many gorgeous decorations on the bow and arrows, but the gold-inlaid ruby wrench in his hand was a rare treasure in the world.

Princess Naren Gaowa glanced at the wrench and smiled at Prince Ren.

"I'm going to." Prince Ren learned from Princess Naren's example, and before sending the arrow, he also informed him.

"Please!"

Princess Naren smiled again, and Prince Ren had to re-aim, and the princess saw it, lowered her head and smiled quietly.

"Buzz!"

An arrow roared, causing Princess Naren to raise her head suddenly, and she subconsciously praised: "Lord Wang's divine power!" ”

Sure enough, the shouts of the target reporter over there came: "I shot in the heart, the prince is good at archery." ”

"Lord Wang, your arrow flew through the target and flew more than ten steps." "The prince has a lot of strength."

Prince Ren was silent on the surface, secretly proud in his heart, like a hairy guy who had just set foot in love, desperately showing himself, the next few arrows, although Princess Naren was in the arrows, and Prince Ren was on par, but in terms of strength, he lost a section, the competition was over, Princess Naren admired Prince Ren, and her admiring gaze was inseparable from Prince Ren's figure.

Prince Ren is like drinking a glass of chilled orange juice in the summer, his heart is sour and sweet, and he is extremely ironed.

"Lord, when His Majesty the Honorable Emperor and our King Huluner have signed the document of friendship between the two countries, I will take you to the grassland, where there is a vast expanse of grassland, and snow-white sheep, like clouds in the sky, fluttering on the grassland. Also, you can hear the shepherd's song, which is as beautiful as the heavenly fairy music. As she spoke, she rejoiced, and sang in a low voice:

"Beautiful prairie my home,

The wind blows green grass and flowers everywhere

Colorful butterflies fly and white birds sing

A bend of blue water reflects the sunset

The horses are like clouds

Cattle and sheep are like pearls

The shepherdess sang aloud

Happy singing all over the world—"

Although Princess Naren lowered her voice, her beautiful melody, sweet and crisp voice fascinated Prince Ren, he had seen talented women, and his first wife Shen Mingting was, but Shen Mingting was introverted, dignified, and reserved, completely different from the bold and spicy and enthusiastic Princess Naren, and Shen Mingting's advantage was that she was good at strategizing and controlling, while Princess Naren was singing, archery, and even equestrian and dancing, and she was a completely different person from Shen Mingting. is a person who is more attractive to men than Shen Mingting.

Prince Ren no longer picks on Princess Naren when she is older, and even in later days, when he heard that Princess Naren had been married once and is now a widow, he didn't think about replacing people, Prince Ren only felt distressed, and couldn't help but want to pity, and even hated Mao Dun, who killed Princess Naren's husband.

Under the auspices of Prince Ren, Jurong and the Hulun Ministry signed a contract for an eternal truce at the border pass, the switch of trade, and the protection of the interests of civilians, and then, with Princess Naren and other people, went to Shangjing, only waiting for Emperor Yongchang to use the seal on the contract and send officials to the north to deal with specific affairs, and the contract officially took effect.

As soon as the news from Prince Ren's side came back, Wen Jin entered the palace. Tested Yuhe's attitude towards the emperor's acceptance of beauties, knowing that she was still very angry, but she couldn't control it, so she asked with a smile: "Do you want to be a little angry?" ”

"How can you get angry?"

"Find a way to give the Tartar woman who is kind to Prince Ren."

"How can this be? No matter how people say it, she is also a princess, and she can't be a concubine, even a side concubine. ”

"You can join the princess, Prince Ren is blind and can't serve the prince at all, how can the emperor watch Uncle Wang live without a life, and he can't pull out his feet all day long in family affairs?"

Yuhe shook his head and said in his heart, cousin, you finally can't bear it anymore, I can't control the emperor Na'vi, you can't resist the abuse of your father-in-law and mother-in-law, the two of us, whether you enter the palace or be a foreign wife, can't escape fate, this is life, and things are often unsatisfactory.

Seeing that Yuhe didn't agree, Wen Jin didn't force him to ask, but only vaguely revealed a little bit of information about the princess of Tartar, so he went home with Qian Qian and Midnight.

The second time I entered the palace, it was because the Tartar princess had already arrived in the capital, and she was going to meet the emperor in a few days. The Ministry of Rites is teaching her and her entourage etiquette, and Yuhe is responsible for checking for omissions.

"Has the concubine seen Princess Naren Gaova?"

"No, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are spitting in front of me, I don't know why?"

"Then why don't you meet in advance?"

"I don't want to see it." Yuhe didn't hide her emotions in front of Wen Jin, Wen Jin understood why she was like this, Princess Tartar was dedicated to her man, Yuhe saw each other, that was sick.

"It's better to see each other, see it early and plan early, otherwise there will be an accident, and you will be in a hurry and at a loss."

"Alas, well, I'll send them over now, and you can see them too, and see what kind of country it is."

"I, I don't want to see you."

"It's okay, you hide behind the screen, turn around, and expect you to give an idea."

"Okay." Wen Jin seemed to be reluctant, but in fact, she was secretly happy in her heart.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites have already begged once, let the concubine see the VIP once, this time they received a report, they came quickly, they were men, they could only stay in the outer palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids led a few Tartar women in.

Yuhe's mood was very uneasy, and even the little daughter was taken away by the nurse.

Naren Gaowa wore a veil, and Yuhe said with a smile: "Your Excellency the princess can take off the veil, there is no foreign man in the inner palace here." ”

"Concubine Niangniang, then you promise me first, don't kill me."

Yuhe was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart how beautiful you are, I will be so jealous that I will kill you immediately? Even if I don't want to die, how many children do I have, how can I be willing to give them up for the sake of you?

"Even if you take off your turban, I won't kill you."

Naren Gaowa took off her scarf, she has fair skin, high nose bridge and big eyes, and her eyelashes are particularly black and long.

It's just that this stunning beauty is a little late, and she looks like she is thirty years old.

Yuhe was taken aback, she heard that the northern desert was windy and sandy, and the people there were all old-looking, but there was no teenage girl, and she was a thirty-year-old aunt: "Who are you?" ”

"Qiyu Guifei Niangniang, I am Naren Gaowa."

"Your Highness Princess—how old is you?" Yuhe almost lost his temper.

"The concubine is twenty-nine years old."

Wen Jin coughed lightly, and Yuhe suddenly woke up and regained his composure: "You won't be so big, you haven't married yet, right?" ”

"Hongu's husband is dead."

"You-" Yuhe is a native of southern Xinjiang, and the widow in her hometown can remarry, but she has been in the palace for more than ten years, and she has long been accustomed to the customs of Jurong, hearing this, she was even more shocked than just now, Hulun'er is a relative, it is simply a feud, and he actually sent a little widow to the emperor, and he was full.

"Your Royal Highness, can you rest outside for a while, and then discuss etiquette and dress with you later?"

"With the arrangement of the concubine, the palace will retire."

The Tartar woman bowed and retreated, and Yuhe couldn't wait to speak to Wen Jin: "What the hell is going on? ”

"Concubine Niangniang, don't you still understand? Huluner has only one sister who is not married, but she has already married, and if we have to send a princess over, then there will only be a widow. ”

"What can I do about this, the emperor will definitely be angry."

"No, the concubine didn't look at the appearance of the four maids, one or two of them must be great beauties, and they can also read and write, can speak simple Chinese, and their background must be from a princely and aristocratic family on the Tartar side, that is Hulun Erjin dedicated to the emperor, he has no choice, he can only express his sincerity in this way, didn't he say it to Lord Gao and Prince Ren? As long as he can take out what he can take out on the grassland, the emperor will be generous if he is in need. That's what it means, you can't send an engaged sister, but it's okay to send a group of beauties. ”

"Hahaha...... Yuhe laughed, "it must be your idea, only you are so bad." "The concubine can't say that, how can the concubine do anything harmful?" "Hmph, I don't know about you yet. Say, what should I do? You can't wait for the emperor to be angry at the court before thinking about the aftermath, right? No wonder you pinch me all day long to see this group of nobles, it turns out that you have ulterior motives. ”

...
