Chapter 339: It's up to her to decide
It's the same as the last party, except that there are some unfamiliar faces.
There are bearded Biansai people, island people with brown eyes, and people with similar skin color to the Ming Dynasty.
They were dressed in their own clothes, and they sat there looking around, pointing with their fingers, as if they were choosing a person to marry.
Very well, I didn't see a foreigner with a big nose and blue eyes, and I didn't see a short, short-eyed widow with a single eyelid.
This made her feel a little more comfortable, but she found that several people were staring at Ling'er with obscene eyes, and she was immediately angry.
Rubbing his big leaves, You look so good-looking, it's normal for a fair lady and gentleman to be good, who is disgusting with this kind of look?
Qiao Mai didn't move a mental power, and rushed directly towards the man's eyes, there was no scream, and the eyes of the men who were staring at Ling'er, but for some reason, were getting more and more blurred.
No matter how much they rub it, they just can't see clearly, as if they are highly myopic.
At this time, the emperor came with his concubines, and the concubine was high, and she saw Qiao Mai at a glance, nodded and smiled at her.
Qiao Mai also smiled at her, and the courtiers and envoys present all stood up and saluted.
Today is a banquet, for the purpose of choosing a spouse for the young men and women on both sides, and they have already talked formally before, so I won't say so much today.
As soon as the emperor came, he naturally set up a meal and walked with singing and dancing.
On such occasions, it is inevitable to perform, the four princesses of the messenger group performed dances and harps, and the four men performed their swordsmanship, sticks, swords, and hidden weapons.
The emperor watched quietly from above, and whispered to the concubine from time to time.
An emissary stood up and bent over the emperor.
"Your Majesty, why didn't Princess Jiamei, Yuan Haichuan, and his sister Tianshui County Lord perform their talents?"
"They are not in the scope of this marriage?"
"Why?"
The emperor was a little unhappy, this fucking still needs to ask, you didn't inquire with long ears? Deliberately playing stupid, right?
"Jiamei is Haichuan's fiancΓ©e"
"I see, what about the water lord that day?"
"I promised the blessed king, and the marriage of the lord of Tianshui is up to her."
"Your Majesty, the second prince of our country, fell in love with the lord of Tianshui at first sight, and I hope that Your Majesty will fulfill it?"
The emperor looked at Ling'er, "Lord Tianshui, what do you say?" β
Ling'er stood up, her waist straight, "Your Majesty, Tianshui is unwilling,"
"Why?"
"These envoys, no manners, no education, the defeated country ran to the victorious country to show off their might, presumably they are in their own country, they treat the people as slaves, I am the county lord of the Ming Dynasty, naturally I don't look down on these flies and dogs, who loves to marry, who marries, anyway, the county lord does not marry."
As soon as she said this, those girls who wanted to marry the prince of another country all lowered their heads.
The envoy smiled, "County Lord, I think you misunderstood, the previous incident was a joke because of the language barrier, and it never happened again." β
"Hmph, then the county lord is not willing, and the marriage between the two countries can be friendly? Aren't you eyeing our country? I'm Qiao Wanling, the person I marry must like me, and I must be as good to me as my father did to my mother, and you don't take any of them. β
The envoy looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty? β
"There's no way, I'm the king of a country, and I won't change what I promised."
Yuan Jiaqi stood up, "Your Majesty, you are a Ming monarch, and you will never do anything like a robber, even if it is a marriage, you must be willing, please ask the emperor to give them the opportunity to choose freely, whether it will be successful or not depends on fate, what do you say?" β
"Haha, naturally, Buddhism pays attention to the word fate, and people who have no fate, even if they walk together, sooner or later they will be separated"
"Your Majesty," the envoys of the four countries stood up in unison
"The king is the king, the minister is the minister, the king calls the minister to die, the minister has to die, as the king of a country, can't you even make the decision on the marriage of the courtier?"
"Ah, no, I rarely give marriage, I believe in Buddhism, I believe in God, I believe in the melon that is twisted is not sweet, although I am the king of the Ming Dynasty, but I am not the king of the world, I also want to accumulate virtue, I don't want to do the lack of virtue, don't you do the lack of virtue, you can't be the king of a country?"
I'll rub it, this old emperor, how can you talk about this taste, but the courtiers like it so much.
The envoy was dumbfounded by the emperor, and the Duke of Zhenguo stood up at this time, "The defeated country, what face do you have to come to our country to choose good people, it should be to dedicate these princesses to our country"
Many ministers echoed, "That is, the defeated country, it would be good not to let you pay tribute, and why did you come to our country to pick people?" β
A banquet turned into a denunciation, and the emperor sat on it and watched with a smile, indulging his courtiers to make a fuss.
It was as if the envoys had walked into a dead end, their mouths open and their faces full of shame, and they didn't know what to say.
When the emperor saw that it was almost over, he spoke.
"Okay, the two countries don't fight each other, it's almost over, who do you fancy these princesses who came to our country?"
The princesses looked rather ugly, and they exchanged words with the people of their own country.
"Your Majesty, the princess of the Great Qin Dynasty, is willing to marry the second son of the King of Chu as a concubine, please fulfill it!"
Hou Zheng's eyes flashed, and he looked at King Chu, "Is the second child engaged?" β
"Not yet,"
"Okay, so be it."
King Chu's face changed, he looked at the second child, gritted his teeth, and whispered.
"Father is going to wronged you?"
"The son doesn't care, he arranges it with his father"
They all know in their hearts that if they marry the princess of the enemy country, they will have only one end and be isolated, but as members of the royal family, they can't escape the marriage.
The other three princesses are all members of the royal family, and this is to break into the royal family of the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor secretly scolded in his heart, the dog is hot, you can dream beautifully, I won't let you get what you want, postpone it for a few years, and when I become stronger, I will reduce all of you princesses to concubines, so that you can't toss, hum.
In fact, he was still afraid of these people, after all, if the four countries joined forces, his chances of winning would be almost zero.
After the princess was elected, she was the prince, and there were many daughters of courtiers, and they were willing to marry to be concubines, but after listening to Ling'er's words, they all retreated.
didn't even stand up for a girl, and the marriage suddenly became one-sided.
The four envoys had no choice but to propose marriage to the emperor, but they were all rejected, no matter whether they hurt their own girls or not, as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, who wants to let their daughters marry into a defeated country?
Isn't that a way for people to ravage? Can't you go, how can you look up after you go to your old face?
At this time, the second prince of the Great Qin State stood up, "Your Majesty, if the lord of Tianshui County is willing to marry this prince, my country is willing to give up the five cities on the border, you see?" β
When the emperor heard this, his heart was moved, and Zhen Guogong stood up at this time, "How can we men live in the future by exchanging women for cities?" If you want to have us soldiers in the city, you don't need the lord of Tianshui. β
"That is, we don't need women in the city, we want the city, and we just fight it ourselves"
"Hmph, that's going to kill a lot of people."
"Exchange women for cities, how can the men of our Ming Imperial City raise their heads, and only then can they be at ease with the city they exchanged for their blood and lives."
"That's it, that's it, let's not come to this set, we don't eat"
The emperor, who was originally excited, stopped eating at once, he secretly looked at Qiao Mai with his eyes, and saw that she was drinking calmly, and there was no sign of anger.
Now he put his mind at ease, and for some reason, he touched her a little from the heart.
Because he still can't figure out her details, it's too mysterious, is it a trick, or is she really taking things out of the air?
Before he figured it out, it was better for him not to offend her.
The second prince gritted his teeth and drank out, the woman in this world, he wanted what he couldn't get.
"What about ten cities?"
The emperor's hands trembled a little, "Forget it, my promise is more important than the city." β
The girl who couldn't be exchanged for ten cities in the Great Qin Dynasty suddenly became the focus, and all the girls glared at Ling'er jealously.
