10,000 quintals of rice??? Is there a hole in the brain?

Xia Qingyi was obviously also shocked, not to mention her, everyone on the field stopped their movements, and looked at the figure who walked to the hall at this time, kneeling and saluting without hurry.

Chu Leyan, who had just walked to her seat, looked at Xia Qingyi blankly, and finally saw the mysterious person in the hall who gave the gift clearly after following her gaze.

It turned out to be him, Chu Leyan, who could see his face clearly, handed Xia Qingyi a meaningful smile.

The royal family has never held a banquet, and the gifts are particularly exquisite, not to mention ingenuity, generally will choose some rare treasures, bead hairpin jewelry, celebrity calligraphy and painting, no matter how bad it is, it is also a silver ticket shop, and it is really unheard of to send rice!!

"The grass people meet the emperor, the queen, the ladies of the palace, I wish Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess a good birthday and a prosperous day!"

Gong Yaoyuan performed a very standard kneeling salute, coupled with his handsome face and modest demeanor, the Southern Chu Emperor had an excellent impression of him, and even when he asked, he was kind to the people and full of smiles, which was not at all as rigid and serious as usual.

"I heard that you have a good personal relationship with Xi'er, but why did you give rice to my princess's birthday party? But what is the meaning!? ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people dare not trespass. If it weren't for His Royal Highness's appreciation and trust to entrust the supply of all the herbs in the Four Princes' Mansion, the grass people would not have today, and the grass people would not have today, and the grass people were graced by the four princes, that is, by His Majesty's holy grace and the grace of the Southern Chu State, so today's princess's birthday, although the grass people are just a small businessman, they also want to do their best for Southern Chu. ”

I saw that the man's face was not red and his heart was not beating, he shook his placket, and knelt down again, his face full of sincerity.

"Rice is the foundation of the people, and the people are the foundation of the country. The people are full of wine and food, live and work in peace and contentment, why worry about the peace of the world, the marching soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and all the troubles are overcome. Let's say, with rice in hand, the world will last for a long time, and it is not an exaggeration.

Therefore, the real meaning of the 10,000 quintals of rice given to the princess by the grass people is to wish me Nanchu: the prosperity of the country and the generations to come! ”

"Good! Good! Good!" The emperor praised again and again, and his remarks made Emperor Long of Southern Chu happy. Seeing this, the people below also complied with the holy will and surrounded Gong Yaoyuan with flattery.

Only Xia Qingyi looked coldly at the bustling noise in the hall, "Poof! Spit out the grape seeds in your mouth.

What bullshit theory! The man surnamed Gong is really good at breaking around! Gong Yaoyuan had a full view of her actions, and she was not angry, but she always smiled at the corners of her mouth, looking at her wild and uninhibited eating elephants dotingly.

Xia Qingyi drank fruit wine one cup after another. Although it is possible to completely ignore the hypocritical skills and entertainment at the banquet. But he couldn't ignore the Beiliang envoy who was always locked on the seventh princess on the opposite seat, and that deep and warm attention actually gave people an illusion of love!! This made Xia Qingyi feel incredible.

According to his age, how could there be an intersection between him and the Seventh Princess!?

The middle-aged man had been discussing something with the prince of Beiliang in their language, but no matter how excited he was and how fierce the dispute was, he never looked away from Chu Leyan, and was thinking hard about his intentions and purpose while Xia Qingyi was thinking hard.

A person suddenly stood up in the crowd, it was the visiting prince of Beiliang, he walked to the Southern Chu Emperor with a wine glass, first made a standard friendly country worship salute, and then threw out an explosive sentence

"Your Majesty the Emperor, it is a great honor for this prince to see the Seventh Princess today. Before the visit, his father had urged Yatu to get married, but the prince did not have a favorite woman and it was difficult to promise it at will. But today。。。。。。 ”

Speaking of this, Shangguan Yatu actually knelt down on one knee, and bowed down in a solid manner according to Gong Yaoyuan.

"Shangguan Yatu has an uninvited feeling, and wants to ask to marry the seventh princess who is born today as the princess and concubine, and tie the relationship between the two countries for a hundred years."

The boiling atmosphere in the hall immediately dropped to freezing, and the originally lively hall quieted down suddenly. The emperor didn't say a word. looked at His Royal Highness with a solemn gaze, and opened the Prince of Beiliang.

Does he know what he's talking about?

Southern Chu and Northern Liang have always been in flames, although they have maintained a quiet appearance in recent years. But for thousands of years, the harem of Southern Chu has never had a princess of Northern Liang, and Northern Liang has never accepted the princess of Southern Chu to settle in their harem. Because it is rumored that Bei Liang's love Gu can restrain the poison Gu, this kind of relationship between restriction and restriction makes both countries very jealous and disgusted with each other. Not to mention that during the last battle of the Gu Gods, Bei Liang almost broke through the capital gate of Southern Chu.

Shangguan Yatu looked at Emperor Nanchu's tightly knit brow. A man stepped forward on the side, it was the gloomy middle-aged old man, and he spoke leisurely.

"In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to take the Pearl of the East China Sea as a birthday gift, and the three cities near Udi as a dowry gift, and ask Your Majesty to marry the princess, and it is okay to mention other gold and jewelry princesses."

This temptation is really huge, and some people in the palace began to coax, after all, the city near Udi is actually the northern junction line of Chu Liang, these three cities have always been firmly occupied by Bei Liang, because of the terrain of the moat, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once these three cities are mastered, Bei Liang will inevitably pay a heavy price if he wants to attack Chu in the south.

The eyes of the king on the dragon rode faintly flashed calculated fireworks, Xia Qingyi could see that he was already moved, after all, most of the fate of ancient royal women was the victim of political marriages, but I had always heard that the emperor of Nanchu was particularly fond of this little princess, so Xia Qingyi especially knew which side the emperor of Nanchu would fall to in the two roles of father and emperor at this moment.

"We can promise that after Prince Yatu ascends the throne in the future, the princess of Nanchu will be able to enter the East Palace immediately, and it will never be abolished, this is the promise made by our Beiliang National Teacher [Shangguan Xuanmi] on behalf of the Northern Liang Kingdom to His Majesty the Emperor, this is the letter of alliance, the terms just mentioned have been recorded, please take a look at it."

The gloomy middle-aged man obviously saw the vacillation of the Southern Chu Emperor, and took another shot of forced injection, and his remarks made Prince Yatu look sideways at him, and a discerning person could see at a glance that what he said just now was something that neither he nor the prince had mentioned, but he used the promise of the Northern Liang National Master as a guarantee, and the young prince did not dare to disobey his remarks.

Because in Beiliang, the national teacher is an existence with a transcendent status outside of imperial power.

In other words, the national teacher of Beiliang is the patron saint of Beiliang: a symbol of combat power, strategy, and spiritual rule.

Chu Leyan couldn't sit still anymore, her hands were clenched, and she didn't realize that her slender nails had sunk into her flesh, she didn't know how to refuse such a condition, let alone give her the emperor's father!

However, is Bei Liang crazy, in order to marry her, he gave away countless jewels in three cities for nothing! What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd!?

She was really scared. I was afraid that her father would immediately agree at this moment, so that there would be no room for return. And she and the person she really loves will inevitably become strangers, she is unwilling!

She seemed to look at Xia Qingyi for help, hoping that she would be able to resolve the dilemma in front of her, but the other party only gave her an invisible shake of her head, signaling that she should not act rashly, but still look at the emperor's meaning first.

"Yan girl, are you 。。。。。。?" Before the emperor could finish his words, he was interrupted by an immature child's voice.

"Father, the son does not agree to the royal sister marrying far away, the sister of this prince is noble, the lady of the sky, why do you need his gift! Besides, his little prince in a barren land wants to marry my imperial sister, so he doesn't say what kind of thoughts he has. This prince looks at his weak body and bones, this stupid and clumsy head, if he dies before his deeds are completed, wouldn't he ask his royal sister to be a widow for him? No way! No way! Don't marry! Don't marry!! ”

"Bold, the emperor must not be rude!"

"Presumptuous, hairless children dare to insult my Beiliang Dynasty!"

Two shouts sounded at the same time, one was from the Southern Chu Monarch and the other was from the Northern Liang Yatu Prince.

Xia Qingyi recognized that this was the little doll who reprimanded him in the garden just now, Chu Leyan's younger brother Chu Zeyan. I didn't expect him to be such an upright and fiery temper at a young age, and he was also a pet sister maniac.

Everyone knows how brutal the battle for the heir is, but no one dares to break it on the surface. Xia Qingyi couldn't help but want to give him a thumbs up and praise him under the table. After all, looking at the palace's ministers and concubines, there are many who are good at figuring out the holy will, but there is no one who dares to disobey the emperor's order and stand up to speak out!

But he was handsome for only three seconds, and he was personally taken down by the palace people to reprimand him to shut up.

Alas! At this age, my arms can't twist my thighs.

The people who were making trouble were leveled, and the emperor also accompanied the smiling faces to appease the guests.

Just when everyone thought that this marriage would be smooth without resistance. The Beiliang man changed his words.

"I want my prince of Beiliang Yatu to beg to marry the seventh princess of Southern Chu, and he used to give gifts to the city and sign a covenant with the national teacher as a guarantee, but he was looked down upon by a yellow-mouthed child in Nanchu, and the body of Beiliang was humiliated, this matter must not be taken lightly!"

"Lord Messenger, Mo Qi, Mo Qi, it's all a misunderstanding, Yan'er is still young, nothing less!" The queen also came out to play the round.

Who knows that the other party doesn't buy it.

"In this case, whether it is peace or apology, we only hope that the descendants of the poisonous Gu in your country can personally negotiate to show their sincerity."

This is the true intention of Bei Liang!

In this vast continent that is divided and strife, it is said that among the royal family members of each country, they have their own Gu spirit descendants, and it is precisely because they have their own Gu gods to protect and balance each other that they maintain the superficial peace.

In this life, only the national teacher of Beiliang and the saintess of Western Xinjiang announced their succession and succession early, and Donghuan also issued a public announcement not long ago to indicate that he had found a successor. Only the silent main city of Southern Chu

A notice was posted and the matter was hastily done, and it was not at all as unprecedented as before, and there was no exchange or foreign visit with neighboring countries. The people of their own country are panicked, and the forces of other countries are ready to move.

"Hahahahaha, the envoy is too fussful, just now it was just a small misunderstanding, why do you need the eldest princess to come forward to show sincerity, not to mention that the eldest princess is in retreat recently, and she has not seen any guests, and the marriage with the seventh princess is naturally up to me to discuss with the envoys in detail" Emperor Nanchu smiled a series of smiles just to hide his embarrassment, but he couldn't resist the other party's insistence.

"Then may I ask when the eldest princess of the Southern Chu Kingdom will leave the customs, and can you allow me to pay a visit before leaving. Bei Liang sincerely wants to form an alliance with Nan Chu as a family and friend. ”

The expression on Emperor Nanchu's face was almost unbearable, but he still maintained a smile.

"The day when the eldest princess came out, Lone didn't know, and the eldest princess didn't mention it, but she was afraid that she would disappoint the messenger."

An understatement blocked all possibilities, and the envoy of Beiliang also restrained his politeness when he saw this.

"Even so, presumably your country has no sincerity in forming an alliance with Bei Liangyong, and we will not bother us more, and we will leave for return tomorrow. On his day, the eldest princess will go out of the customs, and after His Majesty and the eldest princess have discussed, he can repair the book to the lord of my Beiliang country, and at that time, we will bring a good dowry to the meeting. ”

His Royal Highness was in an uproar, and the courtiers of Southern Chu all talked about this sudden change. Xia Qingyi also attached herself to the ear of Chu Leyan in the front seat.

"The eldest princess he said is a disciple of the Poison Gu Sect?"
