Chapter 391: Alpine Ice and Snow
The emperor's birthday came as scheduled, and the envoys of Zangxi and Nanyu all put forward the idea of offering the princess at the birthday banquet. The rhetoric of both sides is basically the same, and they are nothing more than the intention to be friendly with David for generations and never go to war.
This is a matter of the emperor's harem, and the courtiers naturally will not say much. That is, a few Mrs. Yipin who were qualified to attend the banquet couldn't help but sneak a glance at the queen.
These Tibetan tin people are dark and savage, and the Tibetan tin princess is no better. Although her facial features are really good, the skin color of this Tibetan tin princess is in David, Mo said that she is a princess, and even an ordinary lady will not have such a dark complexion.
What the ladies really care about is Princess Nanyu. Princess Nanyu looks about the same age as Princess Zangxi, but her skin is like snow, and she can beat the other party by far more than three or two points when she stands up.
In addition, the Nanyu people advocate sacrifice, and their princesses are generally the saints of the clan. This cold and arrogant temperament is innate, Princess Nanyu is standing there, she is simply a relict and independent Tianshan Snow Lotus.
The Empress looked sideways at the Emperor, whispered a few words in the Emperor's ear, and then nodded and smiled at the two princesses standing in the center of the hall.
The emperor looked at the two princesses and said, "I appreciate the hospitality of Zangxi and Nanyu. But I don't have the heart to accept new ones for the time being. If the two princesses have a heart, it is also very good to choose a husband among my princes. ”
The Tibetan tin envoys and the Nanyu envoys were all shocked.
What the Tibetan tin people think is that the beautiful woman who sent it to the door doesn't want Emperor Wei, could it be that he has insight into the little Jiujiu in his khan's heart?
Before the unification of the eight Tibetan and Xi tribes, their khans did have the idea of submitting to David. After all, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree. But after the unification of the eight ministries, the khan did not want to live a life of bowing his head and being a vassal.
If the princess enters the country as a concubine and gives birth to a little prince in the future, Zangxi will definitely do her best to assist her to ascend to the position of prince, then there is no possibility of Zangxi becoming a minister.
The Tibetan tin envoys were very embarrassed. They were afraid of David's strength, and if David sent troops against Tibetan Xi, their confrontation would only be to hit the stone with an egg.
Now in this situation, do you want to refuse, will it annoy Emperor Wei?
The Tibetan tin envoy looked at the Nanyu envoy in embarrassment.
The envoys of Nanyu were also surprised.
Even if the Tibetan Xihei princess was rejected, the saint and princess of her Nanyu clan were also rejected?
The people of Nanyu simply felt that Emperor Wei was blind.
"His Majesty Xie Weiguo is gracious. Since Your Majesty has no intention, then we will not force it. "The attitude of the Nanyu people is very clear, they rejected Emperor Wei's proposal.
The courtiers at the banquet were very angry. Where does the arrogant capital of Nanyu people come from? They were beaten to the ground by the great generals of their own country, and even the high priest died.
As soon as they thought of Chen Tianyang, some courtiers looked at the Nanyu envoys and their eyes were not very friendly.
Yes, they David asked for the life of the high priest of Nanyu. But Nanyu also took the lives of their hussar generals and Chang Sheng's generals!
Now the arrogant appearance of Nanyu people is really hateful!
The Nanyu envoy looked confused, completely unaware of where these unfriendly eyes came from.
But the Tibetan tin people shuddered.
It seems that Weiguo's banquet today is a Hongmen banquet.
The Tibetan tin envoy thought of the Khan's explanation to him - the final hole card was that the minister could, but he had to strive for the detailed benefits of one, two, three.
In the face of the self-seeking behavior of the Nanyu envoys, the Tibetan envoys were instantly cowardly.
He surrendered to Emperor Wei and said, "Your Majesty Wei Guo is gracious, we dare not refuse." It's just that which prince is it, can we princesses be allowed to meet by themselves? ”
The Tibetan tin people are open, and such requests are unusual.
Emperor Wei agreed in a cheerful tone: "I should be." Later, I will invite Princess Zangxi to attend the family banquet. ”
Dinner?
The people of Nanyu suddenly regretted it. Who knows if Emperor Wei and Zangxi will reach an alliance that is not conducive to their Nanyu at the family banquet?
In fact, it is no different if the left and right are princesses who want to marry into the Wei Kingdom, and it is no different whether they marry the Wei Emperor or the Wei Emperor.
The people of Nanyu looked remorseful, and the officials were all happy.
Let you think very highly of yourself, is it true that your princess is a peerless treasure? Our David is not uncommon.
I only heard the princess Nanyu, who was as holy as the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, speak: "Your Majesty, Bing Xue also wants to ask to see the princes. ”
The quiet appearance of this Nanyu princess standing there is amazing enough, and after she spoke, it made the men present feel pity and jealousy.
As her name suggests, she has a cold temperament, and her voice is more like alpine ice and snow when she speaks, and her voice is even more like the sound of seven strings.
After the court officials are amazed, they are even more shocking, such a woman enters the harem, I am afraid that she will be a generation of demon concubines.
At this time, both men and women looked at the queen expectantly.
The queen lived up to expectations and said: "The ice princess wants to see the prince of the palace, is she willing to choose one of them as a husband?" The Davidic folk customs are not open to the princes for others to admire. ”
The Ice Princess replied, "Nanyu pays attention to the joy of the two loves. Even if I love the prince of the country, what if the prince of the country is ruthless? So let's meet once first. ”
The queen was suddenly annoyed. This woman doesn't look like she eats the fireworks of the world on the surface, but she is so eloquent, she is really a scheming vixen.
But before the queen could speak, the emperor had already taken the lead. A man's temper is always better when it comes to beauties, and the emperor replied, "As the Ice Princess said, I don't like the difficulties of strong people, so I will invite the two princesses to the family banquet later." ”
The envoy of Nanyu looked at the envoy of Tibetan tin with a smile.
Tibetan tin Shichen has already laid a good little Jiujiu in his heart. Since the left and right want to surrender to David, in order to better negotiate the conditions, they must let the princess choose David's most important prince.
The one who will inherit the throne in the end.
The Tibetan tin people don't have the heart to deal with the Nanyu people about whose princess is more beautiful. He and the courtiers of the defense of the country drank enthusiastically, trying to extract a word about the princes from the words of the other party.
The people of Nanyu were not far behind, and they also drank with the courtiers. It's just that with Chen Tianyang's hatred in front of him, no minister dares to get too close to them.
When the Nanyu envoys saw that their people were far less popular than the Tibetan tin people, they thought indignantly: This is jealousy, naked jealousy. David is so stingy, he must find an opportunity to slap them in the face again.
The envoys of Nanyu knew that their own backsliding words had ushered in the inner ridicule of many people. If their princess is the princess of Tibetan Xi, then the ending will not be too miserable.
After a few envoys, no matter how the envoys of the two countries planned, and no matter how the two princesses looked, this family banquet kicked off.
Since the emperor is strict about the family banquet, the queen has a full posture, not to mention the four princes who are weak crowns and adults, even the eleventh prince who is more than a year old has also been brought over.
Then the harem concubines and concubines came one by one in terms of position, posture or strength, and the princesses were all pulled out.
Concubine Lin was a little happy when she heard the queen invite her to the banquet at first, but she just regarded her status as noble. But when she saw that the concubine also came, this sense of superiority disappeared in an instant.
Concubine Zhen is much calmer. She had already heard the little eunuch beside the emperor say that the two princesses of Zangxi and Nanyu were present at this family banquet, and the purpose was also to promote two marriages and two good stories.
She doesn't have to worry about her eleventh prince, the two princesses of Zangxi and Nanyu dare to choose, and she dares to ask them to be her daughters-in-law.
The most nervous among the concubines are Concubine De and Xi Concubine.
Concubine De is son has reached marriageable age, and the emperor has put marriage on the agenda again, so she intuitively feels that she will bring a daughter-in-law back to this family banquet.
Xi Concubine's concerns are a bit unfounded. She hasn't seen these two princesses yet, just thinking that now the second prince has lost favor in front of the eldest princess of Chaoyang, and in two years her little seven will have hope.
But what if this Princess Zangxi and Princess Nanyu choose their son without opening their eyes?
Xi Concubine didn't want her son to be thirteen years old at all.
The concubine touched her stomach and walked all the way to the palace where the banquet was held.
This Princess Zangxi and Princess Nanyu don't care about their age, and they won't pick an unborn one, right? She just went to see a lively one.
In short, all the concubines had their own concerns, and after they all sat down, the emperor led the two princesses over.
Princess Zangxi walked ahead with her head held high and confident.
Concubine De, who sincerely came to see her daughter-in-law, first saw the black pearl-like eyes of Princess Zangxi, and felt a little satisfied in her heart.
These eyes are very good.
Because it was a dinner party, when they were far away, everyone couldn't see the skin color of the two princesses clearly.
But once you get closer, the difference between the skin and the skin is like a burnt potato comes out. Especially the Nanyu princess, who was shining white under the candlelight, stood next to the black and shiny Tibetan tin princess, what kind of eyes and high nose did this Tibetan tin princess have, all of them were not enough to see!
In one word, it is poor!
In two words, it's very bad!
Three words, it's far from it!
The emperor was the last to sit at the table, so when these two princesses followed the emperor to the table, the princes and princesses were already in the table.
When the eldest prince saw the appearance of Princess Nanyu, he couldn't take his eyes off it. He was glad that he had made some decisions according to what Lin Guifei said.
The second prince glanced at Princess Nanyu, and then turned his gaze to the sixth princess.
The sixth princess seemed to feel the gaze of the second prince. Seeing that the second prince didn't look at this stunning beauty, but looked at herself instead, she was very proud in her heart.
But even if she was proud, the sixth princess was not ready to give the second prince a good look. She pretended to be indifferent and raised her head and looked away, as if she was the Nanyu princess who was in the middle at this time.
The sixth princess turned her head arrogantly, not noticing that the seventh princess and the second prince next to her had already completed a tacit understanding of each other.
