Chapter 30: The War of Words

"That's what you think makes sense." Zhan Xing stared closely at the situation in the main hall and whispered, "Look, those ministers are not as easy to fool as you. ”

Sure enough, as soon as Hua Luo's words fell, a minister stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, although what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said has a certain amount of truth, the minister still thinks that the ugly tax must not be removed. ”

"First, the ugly tax has always been one of the main sources of revenue for our national treasury, and a sudden recall will bring more problems to the emptiness of the treasury. Second, the natural rules of all living things in the mainland are originally survival of the fittest, a look at a beauty can make people happy, ugly people see it is unappetizing, beauty is a good gene needs to be inherited, and ugly genes need to be erased, although the process of erasure is cruel, but this is also following the laws of nature, what is wrong? ”

"Cut." Zhan Xing, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but complain, "Isn't this just talking about the kindness of the woman in Luo Dian in disguise and he understands the righteousness." ”

Originally, Zhan Xing didn't have much feeling about this matter, but when he heard this minister say this, he felt that the person with low appearance was innocent enough.

Hua Luo only thought for a moment, and then said: "This palace believes that the good genes that the people of the Apocalypse Nation should inherit are a sound body, a spirit of perseverance, the quality of respecting the old and loving the young, and good morals such as being trustworthy in their words, rather than being beautiful and ugly. ”

"The pleasure brought by appearance is only temporary, if you talk about long-term goodwill, it depends on people's hearts, and a person who is not good-looking may also have those good genes mentioned above in this palace, therefore, this palace advocates the removal of ugly people and treats beauty and ugliness with an equal mentality."

"That's a good point." Zhan Xing Zhaoyue, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but clap her hands at Hua Luo, and the old minister who was the first to jump out against Hua Luo was also made speechless by Hua Luo.

Just when Zhan Xing and Zhaoyue thought that the sky was going to change and Hua Luo had the upper hand, another old minister glanced at Hua Luo and Xia Houqian, who was standing behind Hua Luo, and suddenly became difficult, and said sharply: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you said that you should advocate treating beauty and ugliness with an equal mentality, and you should not discriminate against those who are low in appearance, but you yourself found a very handsome confidant minister, what is the reason?" ”

"No......" Zhaoyue didn't expect this old minister to suddenly talk about Xiahou Qian. This Lord Wei, in order to refute Luo Dian, actually talked about Lord Xiahou, Luo Dian's henchmen and ministers didn't find a handsome one, could they still find a bald and fat man? ”

Zhan Xing's face was serious: "Although Lord Wei's angle is a little tricky, it seems to be very tenable, and I don't know how Ah Luo is going to deal with it." ”

Hua Luo was still the same as before, just hesitated for a while, and then said: "Everyone has a love for beauty, and it is not contradictory for this palace to advocate not discriminating against people who are not good-looking and this palace to appreciate beauty and pursue beauty." ”

A problem that seemed to be difficult to explain was solved by Hua Luo's four or two thousand catties, and Zhan Xing and Zhao Yue breathed a sigh of relief when they eavesdropped on the side.

Then several ministers fought with Hua Luo, and Hua Luo refuted their claims one by one, but the idea of respecting beauty has indeed existed in the Kingdom of the Apocalypse for thousands of years, and it is not so easy to be shaken.

It was already very difficult for the excerpt, which should have been completely dismissed, to achieve this effect, and Zhaoyue and Zhanxing sneaked back to the East Palace before the next early dynasty.

As soon as Hua Luo went back, she praised Hua Luo: "Ah Luo, your mouth is really getting more and more powerful." ”

Hua Luo just glanced at them lightly: "You two are getting bolder and bolder, you dare to peep into the court, if you let the queen mother know, I won't be able to protect you." ”

"Oh, it's just the occasional Ah Luo, not to mention that the two of us have never been caught eavesdropping."

Zhaoyue leaned towards Hua Luo's side: "Ah Luo, I really admire you so much, I clearly saw in the dark that those old ministers were green by what you said." ”

"It's nothing, it's just a normal play."

Obviously it was just a casual remark, but Zhaoyue and Zhanxing heard a taste of sorrow from Hua Luo's tone.

In the blink of an eye, spring has begun, and the country of Apocalypse regards the season of spring as particularly important, and the palace not only has to hold a hundred flowers banquet, but also an annual hundred flowers festival.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet is set up three days before the arrival of the Hundred Flowers Festival.

At the banquet, several aristocratic sons sat around and greeted each other.

"Brother Zhang."

"Brother Li, I'm glad to meet you."

One of the young men who was shaking a folding fan in his hand looked a little impatiently: "It's strange to say, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is about to be officially opened, why haven't you seen His Royal Highness the Prince?" Don't come because of something, I entered the palace today to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet just to see His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Brother Li, is it difficult for you to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this?" The companion teased.

"What about intentionality." The aristocratic son surnamed Li said confidently, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is as beautiful as a peach and plum, cold as frost, and now he is sixteen years old and has not yet made a marriage contract, and his style is excellent, except for a Xiahou Qian, who hardly interacts with any man around him, His Majesty should also consider choosing a son-in-law for her." ”

"I heard that the prince rebelled this time, and he was only punished to do hard labor in the quarry for a month, which shows the weight in His Majesty's heart, even if you really want to choose a son-in-law, can people take a fancy to you?" The friend directly poured a basin of cold water.

"How do you know if you don't try."

And Hua Luo, the object of heated discussion among the aristocratic sons, was taking Zhan Xing and Zhao Yue to the inconspicuous small pavilion on the side of the imperial garden to sit and drink tea to pass the time.

Zhan Xing handed Hua Luo a post: "There are three days left before the Hundred Flowers Festival, according to the rules, women over the age of fifteen in the Apocalypse Kingdom must prepare a flower post on the day of the Hundred Flowers Festival to invite friends of the opposite sex to travel together, if you are already married, you will be with your husband, if you are not married, invite the man you like, Your Highness, you have reached the age of sixteen and have not yet been married, who are you going to invite?" ”

Hua Luo took the post and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Zhao Yue asked with interest: "Luo Dian, you are now a hot marriage partner for the nobles and sons of the Apocalypse Kingdom, you have to take a closer look at any favorite candidates when the banquet is held later." ”

After all, Hua Luo's age is here, and some of the other eighteen His Royal Highnesses even have children at Hua Luo's age, and His Royal Highness, as the crown prince, should also consider marriage.

Hua Luo opened the flower post with the lily pattern painted on it, glanced at it and threw it on the stone table, and complained lightly: "Boring." ”

"How can this be boring, Your Highness, if you don't pick it yourself, Your Majesty should help you Zhang Luo."

"Whatever." Hua Luo has a casual attitude.
