Chapter 49: The Prince's Marriage Proposal 6
It was one of the highest feasts in the history of Zheng Guo to welcome foreign guests.
Golden bottles of wine, glazed jade cups, and countless beautiful women formed a luxurious band, blowing, playing and singing. Zheng Mugong sat on the main seat and looked around slightly nervously, for fear of any rudeness.
As we all know, the current king of Chen Guo is critically ill, and three years ago, it was Prince Chen who actually grasped the royal power and commanded the world, and he dared not disobey.
Now, the crown prince of Chen Guo came with the military might of destroying the 100,000 army of the powerful enemy Chu State, and there was still his army stationed at the border, which was really a great important person for a small border country like Zheng Guo.
What's more, not long ago, the envoy group sent by the prince to propose marriage witnessed a scandal that shook the world. Zheng Mugong was afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, so he did everything possible to select two beautiful girls from the daughters of the clan, and secretly thought that as a last resort, he also had a little daughter who was only nine years old, and he would not marry this little daughter to the prince in advance.
At this moment, I heard the announcement: "Prince Chen Guo has arrived in ......"
He hurriedly greeted him from the main seat in person, Zi Ling saluted according to etiquette, but he was picked up by his own hands, and he was busy: "Your Highness, don't be polite, please take a seat." ”
The guest and the host sat down, and then he said: "Your Highness said that you want to visit the scenery of the Imperial Palace, but you are still satisfied?"
Zi Ling was not in a hurry: "The imperial city of your country is beautiful, but what makes Gu remember is the thousand-year-old peach tree in Luyuan, which is really scorching and unbeatable, especially in the early morning light, it has a unique flavor......
He talked eloquently, and he did not shy away from the fact that he had visited the deer park......
When Zheng Mugong heard the word Luyuan, his face changed drastically, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he snorted: "This, Your Highness ......"
Zi Ling ignored his face and said calmly: "When I was ten years old, I went to Zheng Guo for the first time with my father, got rid of my entourage, wandered around alone, and accidentally walked to the deer park and saw the thousand-year-old peach tree. I don't know how many flowers and trees I have seen in the Lonely South Expedition to the North, but for more than ten years, I have never seen such a beautiful and magnificent peach tree, and my memory is still fresh, so I can't help but go and enjoy it again early in the morning......"
Zheng Mugong was even more spitting, he didn't know if Prince Chen already knew about the scandal of Ziman and Xia Ji, but the paper couldn't contain the fire, and it was impossible for the three envoys of Chen Guo not to spread it. Besides, even if the prince is out on an expedition and does not get any news for the time being, after he returns to China, there will always be someone to report to him.
He thought for a while, and raised his wine glass, "Your Highness, the widow has to make amends to you......
Prince Chen smiled faintly and returned the salute: "The king is really lonely. How dare you!"
Zheng Mugong stubbornly said: "Until now, the widow does not dare to hide it, it is said that there is a widow's daughter living in the deer garden, since this girl was born, the palace has been restless, killing her biological mother, causing great disasters, repeated visions, and even some ridiculous things..."
Prince Chen stopped him from continuing, and said lightly: "Gu also knows a little about this matter. ”
His attitude was indifferent, Zheng Mugong was not sure whether he was angry or disdainful, and tried to say: "His Royal Highness's proposal to our country was originally an honor for our country, but Zheng Guo did not have this blessing......"
