Zhu Feng said this, but did not continue, only glanced at the crane clothes next to him from the corner of his eye, at this time, Zuo Cheng of Zhongshu Province, who had been silent, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, my country has established a rule since Emperor Gao founded the country. ”

"What rules?"

"Harem concubines can only be from good families from their own country, and they must not come from outside."

"Oh?"

Arislan frowned.

Heyi said: "This is the ancestral teaching, and it is also a national gift. ”

“……”

"The emperor is the fourth son of Emperor Gao, who has been filial piety and benevolence since childhood, and never dares to disobey the ancestral teachings."

“……”

Therefore, the emperor accepted the two congratulatory gifts of Princess Baoyin. As for Her Royal Highness the Princess—"

When he said this, he smiled apologetically: "I hope your envoy understands." ”

The latter words, in terms of diplomatic rhetoric, are difficult to say.

After all, it is one thing to refuse kindness, but it is another thing to reject a woman, especially a princess, which can easily lead to hostility between the two countries, or even war again.

Several palace concubines who were originally gloomy turned a little calmer after hearing these words.

Even Nanyan, when he heard this, his eyes also flashed with joy.

Is it really possible not to marry that princess Baoyin?

She opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhu Feng expectantly.

Even through a thick layer of dragon robes, Zhu Feng could feel the eager gaze behind him, and he was about to burn through a hole in his robe, but his face was silent, and he only maintained a faint smile and looked at Arislan.

Naturally, Arislan's face was a little unpleasant.

However, Princess Baoyin, who was rejected, did not have a trace of anger on her dark and gorgeous face, she tilted her head to look at Zhu Feng and asked, "Your Majesty the Emperor, is this really the case?" ”

Zhu Feng glanced at her and said calmly: "You have no jokes." ”

"That's fine."

She laughed, showing her snow-white teeth, looking very toned and brilliant, and said, "I don't want to stay anyway." Although you have a good place, I still prefer grasslands. ”

“……”

"The vastness of the grassland is what I like."

Everyone looked at her in amazement.

According to the customs of the Central Plains, it is a very shameful thing for a woman to be rejected, and it can even be said to be a fatal thing.

However, she can be so free and easy, and tell everyone bluntly, you don't want me, it doesn't matter, because I have a better place to go.

Although Nanyan didn't like her as soon as she appeared, or rather, resisted such a person, but when she heard her words and saw her free and easy performance, she couldn't help but have a good feeling.

Even Zhu Feng looked at her and found it interesting.

He smiled and said, "The princess is worthy of being a heroine among women. I'll give you a drink. ”

After speaking, he raised the wine glass on the table.

Immediately, an attendant served a glass of wine to Princess Baoyin, and she also took the glass and drank it heroically.

In this way, the originally somewhat awkward atmosphere was immediately eased again.

Arislan looked at Zhu Feng for a while, and finally showed a little relieved expression, and said, "Since that's the case, that's fine." ”

“……”

"May you and I be friendly for generations to come."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Feng and he both raised their glasses at the same time, and the people in the entire warm pavilion also raised their glasses to drink.

Nanyan's eyes were crooked with a smile.

After drinking this cup, Heyi stepped forward and said respectfully: "This time the envoy came from afar, please forgive me for the crime of losing welcome." ”
