Chapter 269: Don't Reward

There were no female relatives at today's banquet, and the woman in red who suddenly appeared was not like the singer who danced at the dinner a few days ago, so everyone was interested and guessed the identity of the woman in red.

Kangxi sat on the top, slowly sipping wine, and watching the song and dance with appreciation. The crown prince narrowed his eyes, and his gaze swept over several Mongolian princes on the side. There are three princesses who came this time, and I don't know which one they are. At this time, the dance is clear. I don't know which of his good brothers he likes.

The eldest brother is not very interested, only focusing on the wine on the table; The third master couldn't take his eyes off it, and his hands unconsciously beat with the sound of the piano; The fourth master had clear eyes, and took a piece of melon and fruit while eating it; The fifth master had a calm face and drank in a sullen voice; The seventh master is not here, and it is convenient to leave the table just now; The eighth master was talking to the ninth master on the side, both of them had smiles on their faces, and they didn't know what happy things they said; The tenth master looked at him with a dull gaze, put a glass of wine to his mouth, and didn't drink it for a long time.

After the song was over, the singing stopped, and the dancing posture of the woman in red was also frozen.

Kangxi clapped his hands twice and said with a smile: "The song is so beautiful!" Come forward and let me see who it is. ”

Because the woman in red was veiled, she could only see a little smile in her phoenix eyes.

She stepped forward quickly, saluted Kangxi, pulled down her veil and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the courtier Badama!" ”

"Ah, it's a lotus!" Kangxi laughed, "I only know that you can ride and shoot, but I didn't expect the singing and dancing to be so beautiful, it's really rare!" ”

"The emperor has won the award." Badama said modestly, but her face was bright, obviously happy.

"Sadula, your daughter is well raised!" Kangxi looked at Taiji of the Sunit Ministry, who was also the Abu of Badama.

Sadula's face was proud, and he got up and smiled: "Thank you for the emperor's compliment, the little girl is indeed very good." ”

"Hahaha, you're not modest at all!" Kangxi laughed loudly. But this kind of pampering of my daughter is the best in the world, so much that he likes it very much.

"The lotus flower is singing and dancing today, but what reward do you want?" Kangxi asked.

A hint of shyness flashed across Badama's face, and she said, "Don't reward the courtiers. ”

"Oh? Don't give a reward? So today is it for me? Kangxi asked again.

These words can be described as a pun, and a sneer flashed on someone's face, but Badama looked at Kangxi with a smile as if he hadn't heard it, shook his head and said, "No." But the man the courtier wanted to see had already seen it. ”

"Oh? Still a secret? Kangxi laughed and said, "Let me guess, who is the person in your heart?" ”

As he spoke, Kangxi's gaze swept over the people sitting there.

The Mongol princes glanced at Sadula, and then looked at the princes present.

They brought the princess with them, just to get married. There are marriages in Manchuria. Some of the princesses of the Qing Dynasty married into their Mongolia, and some of the Mongolian princesses married into the capital! The famous Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, wasn't it their Horqin grassland that went out?

Now because Galdan is restless, the relationship between Manchu and Mongolia is a little tense. In order to maintain the relationship and strengthen the position, marriage is the easiest and most costly method.

I didn't expect this Sadula daughter to know how to strike first. Today's song and dance can be described as amazing. It's just that I don't know which prince she fancies.

From the crown prince to the eldest brother, and then to the tenth elder brother, the princes present will have different thoughts.

What it means to marry a Mongolian princess, no one knows in their hearts. However, with the identity of Badama, he is either a wife or a side Fujin who is the prince. Being the side of the rest of the princes who have already married is a bit of a lowering of status.

Badama seemed a little shy, hung her head, and didn't speak. And after Kangxi swept over the people present, he smiled and said, "You have taken a fancy to my son?" ”

Badama raised his head, not surprised by Kangxi's question. She has already said it so clearly, since she doesn't plan to enter Kangxi's harem, she naturally takes a fancy to his son.

"You want to ask me for marriage?" Kangxi asked. Although the smile on his face has not diminished, his gaze has been a little more scrutinized, which is different from just now.

At this time, everyone thought that Badama would push the boat down the river, say which prince it was, and then ask Kangxi for marriage. Who knew that she shook her head and said, "The courtiers don't ask the emperor for marriage for the time being." ”

"Not yet? Why? Kangxi was a little curious.

"The courtiers don't know his mind yet!" Badama said, "Don't force your courtiers to give marriage!" ”

"Good! Be ambitious! Kangxi appreciated. This is much better than the kind of woman who takes a fancy to stalk her.

"The courtier's purpose for today has been accomplished. If the emperor is fine, the courtiers will retire first. Badama said.

It's really neat, Kangxi couldn't help but appreciate it a little more, and said: "Although you don't want my reward today, and you don't want to give marriage, but your singing and dancing are really wonderful, and I still want to reward you!" Li Dequan! Kangxi shouted next to him.

"The minions are here!" Li Dequan hurriedly responded.

"I remember that Fujian paid tribute to a box of golden sea pearls this year?" Kangxi asked.

"Yes, all the same size, a box of twenty." Li Dequan replied. This kind of good thing that entered Kangxi's private treasury, he has always remembered it clearly.

"Find it out and give it to Princess Lotus." Kangxi Road.

"The minions obey." Li Dequan said.

Kangxi smiled and said to Badama: "A little gadget, you take it back and play with it." ”

"Courtiers, thank the emperor for the reward!" This time, Badama was not polite, and bowed in a proper manner, and then retreated.

"Starling, who did you say Princess Lotus has a crush on?" The tenth master will come to the eighth master's side, with a curious face.

"Tenth brother, you shouldn't be tempted, right?" The Ninth Master glanced at him.

The tenth master blushed slightly, and said: "What's the matter, I haven't gotten married anyway, and Fujin hasn't been decided!" ”

"Yo, you're real!" The Ninth Master's eyes widened.

"I, why can't I come for real." The tenth master said urgently.

The eighth master smiled slightly and said, "It's not easy to guess a woman's mind. I don't know who she has her eye on. ”

"I think she has a crush on starlings, right?" The Ninth Master said.

"Huh? But the starling brother has a fortune. "The tenth master said.

"So what? Although her status as a side Fujin is a little lower, if she really likes starling, she won't care. "The Ninth Master said.

"Brother Jiu, why do you say that she has a crush on Brother Starling!" The tenth master was not convinced.

"Starling is gentle and personable, isn't it normal to take a fancy to him? It's unlikely that you'll be taken a fancy to! Look at the stupid way you just looked, like you've never seen a woman! The ninth master looked at the tenth master with disdain.
