Just when the ministers were busy thinking, a charming female voice sounded: "My father said that when I arrive in Qian'an, I will be chosen by the princes and the heirs of the aristocratic families. Even now, I have not seen those people yet." , are you bullying me, a foreign princess?”
What he said was unceremonious and even extremely rude. It was a slap in the face to the face-saving family. There were already young and energetic children from the family who wanted to get up, but they were stopped by brothers or elders on the side. .
Emperor Zhou also had a bad look on his face at this time, but the envoys from the Beiyuan Royal Court who were sitting next to Princess Ya looked like the princess was powerful and domineering.
Prince Zhou, who was sitting at the head of the male guests, stood up to relieve the situation. He saluted in the direction of Princess Ya: "I am Crown Prince Qian'an, Zhou Jianwen. I have always heard that the three princesses of Beiyuan are favored. It is true when I see them today."
What he said was ambiguous, and the people here in Beiyuan simply took it as a compliment.
After he finished speaking, he sat down, not wanting to waste any more time with these foreigners.
The crown prince raised his head, and the second prince who followed him also followed the introduction.
Princess Ya played with her braids and listened attentively to these people introducing themselves to their families until the family members finished their introduction.
It was the turn of the nouveau riche. The new Rong'an Bo Weining was about to stand up when he heard Yeluya speak playfully: "I am my father's most beloved princess, so naturally I want to marry the most distinguished person among you. Worthy of my status, those of you sitting in the second place also recommend yourself to the pillow seat. In your Chinese language, it is a toad that wants to eat swan meat, hum!”
Wei Ning, the former Xie Lingyun, had an expressionless face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. On the other hand, the other gentlemen sitting in the second seat had already had their veins popping out, and they were all holding the cups in their hands. .
The noble ladies on the ladies' table did not hide the sarcasm on their faces. The little Princess Wang Ting was so domineering, and the noble ladies from all the families had begun to whisper with people they knew well.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was really not right, and seeing that Concubine Yu Gui did not want to talk to resolve it, Emperor Zhou closed and opened his hands under his sleeves, opened and closed them again, and then said: "Qian'an and Beiyuan really have a sincere relationship, princess." After traveling thousands of miles to come to Qian'an, Qian'an Dingran treats the princess sincerely. After the banquet is over, the princess will naturally have time to get acquainted with all the young men. "
After he finished speaking without embarrassment, Yu Guifei, as the highest-ranking concubine in Emperor Zhou's harem and the biological mother of Prince Zhou, talked about some trivial matters about the dishes at the banquet, and then continued He said to Princess Ya: "Since the princess has come to Qian'an, she has to follow the local customs. Let the palace music continue to play, so that Princess Beiyuan can also listen to our authentic Han music."
Yeluya still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yelujing at the side.
The angry Yeluya stopped talking and just ate the food in silence.
She felt very uncomfortable while eating. The tea here was miserable and even the food was extremely bland.
"Do you have milk tea or highland barley tea here? I can't get used to this tea. Also, I want mutton leg meat. If you feed these bland small bowls and dishes to the dogs in our prairie, they will be disgusted."
Her voice was neither loud nor soft. The dancers had just arrived and hadn't had time to perform yet, so her words were still heard by many people.
Liu Jiaojiao of the Xinyang Hou family hated this princess. Just because of the whip she gave her at the city gate, not only did she lose face, but those people outside even plotted against her mother.
"Barbarians are barbarians. They want to learn from our Han culture, but they don't want to learn from it. Your milk tea and mutton legs are just like drinking blood like hair, and you are still a princess. Are you Northern Plains civilians even more terrifying?" She said after finishing. He glanced at Princess Ya with disgust.
Her condescending and appraising look made Yeluya immediately put her hand on the whip on her waist, but Yelujing beside her was one step ahead of him and directly held down her hand.
"This girl had an unpleasant quarrel with us when she came to the city before. We have already apologized generously to the government, why not be merciful and merciful?" Mrs. Xinyang Hou also reached out and squeezed her daughter's hand to signal her to stop. As she spoke, Liu Jiaojiao glanced at her mother and then at Yelujing, who was raking her down, and lowered her head reluctantly.
Today, there are not only men and women of the younger generation present, but also people like Wang, Xie, Fan, Li and others from the four major families of Qian'an.
They all felt like they were in the clear mirror. Emperor Zhou had insisted on agreeing to Beiyuan's marriage despite all the opinions. After everyone discussed it, they simply let it go. Anyway, every time they went to war with Beiyuan, the military expenditures were funded by major aristocratic families. Yes, now that we can cease the war and get a princess for free, why not?
Emperor Zhou wanted to suppress the aristocratic family, so everyone just turned a blind eye.
After all, the royal family is still the royal family, and the world needs a legitimate royal family.
As for the arrogant Princess Ya, since she wants to marry the most noble man, please ask her not to harm her nephew.
The banquet ended without embarrassment. Emperor Zhou found an excuse to take Concubine Yu and Mrs. Xihua out of the banquet. The courtiers and ladies all went to other places.
The gentlemen and girls from each family also found acquaintances and scattered throughout the imperial garden.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Yeluya said goodbye to her brother and prepared to go to find Prince Zhou alone.
Before leaving, Yelujing repeatedly told his sister to hold back her temper. This is the Qian'an Palace, not the Beiyuan Palace.
Yeluya nodded impatiently and led a group of maids out.
Looking at Yeluya leaving the table, Lin Qishu and Princess Baoyang, who were gathered together, looked at each other and smiled for the first time.
It was Lin Qishu who spoke first: "Did you see Yeluya's expression when he left? Even from such a distance, I feel like it stinks to me."
Princess Baoyang also gave up the idea of fighting with Lin Qishu today. She smiled lowly and covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said close to her ear: "I didn't see Yeluya's face, but that uncle Xiaorong An When I got up, I saw some people’s faces were colorful and really beautiful.”
After hearing this, Lin Qishu didn't want to be polite and pushed Baoyang away: "Why are you talking so far-fetched?"
Seeing her pretentiousness, Baoyang laughed out loud: "I know you are interested in that little Rong Amber. No wonder you are so dressed up today. Did you know that I sent him a message early in the morning?"< br>
Lin Qishu's pretty face turned red, but she still muttered: "What nonsense are you talking about here! Baoyang, you are really dirty. You can't match me in terms of appearance today, but you want to destroy me with red lips and white teeth." Clear reputation!”
The prince's name is taken from the posthumous title of Sima Yu, the eighth emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Emperor Jianwen
I’m really a sucker for naming~
