2447 Wants to Marry the Princess
Shu Tianci's brows suddenly condensed. When Eunuch Qi saw this, he hurriedly came down and asked, "Princess Anping, the banquet is about to begin. Please come to the table quickly. The two princesses are still waiting behind!"
Shu Min also had a worried look on her face: "I know you hate me, but this is a banquet between two countries. Don't embarrass the Qing Dynasty here. We are the princesses of the Qing Dynasty, and we represent the face of the Qing Dynasty!"
Shu Minshi said roughly, her voice was lowered this time, and only a few people nearby could hear it.
Zuo was also a little confused. He leaned into Gu Xiaowan's ear and asked casually, "Girl, what's wrong with you!"
Gu Xiaowan quickly replied in a low voice: "The hem of my skirt was stepped on."
Just as Zuo was about to say something, Gu Xiaowan suddenly grabbed her hand and walked up again.
Just as she was talking, Gu Xiaowan felt the hem of her skirt being loosened.
And she stood here for a long time, then walked forward, and became the object of ridicule by everyone.
"What's going on? Why are you parked so peacefully?"
"Oh, I want the emperor and Prince Nanling to look at her, didn't you see? The emperor glanced at her and she left!"
Gu Xiaowan sat in her seat, Tan Yushu sat on her left, and Shu Min sat on the right of Princess Lihua. After sitting down, Tan Yushu was a little strange: "Sister, did something happen just now?"
Gu Xiaowan replied softly: "The hem of my skirt was stepped on just now!"
If Gu Xiaowan was not prepared at that time and walked forward directly, the soft smoke was already fragile and would definitely be torn into pieces if she was pulled. If the hem of her skirt was stepped off, it would be a shame and would be thrown to Nanling. She would lose not only It’s her face, and the Qing Dynasty’s face.
And when she was about to say something, the man let go again. It was obvious that the man either wanted to make herself look embarrassed, or to stop herself and become the target of public criticism.
No matter which one it was, it was Gu Xiaowan who was embarrassed. She had indeed fallen into Shu Min's trap. The Queen Mother looked at her face with a hint of displeasure, and Gu Xiaowan knew she was in the wrong.
Upon hearing this, Tan Yushu was about to say something, but Gu Xiaowan stopped her and said, "Don't move, I have no evidence, and this is a banquet between the two countries. No matter what I say, I am wrong, and this is not an argument." when."
Tan Yushu saw Gu Xiaowan's calm face: "Are we going to suffer this loss?"
Gu Xiaowan nodded: "I was careless! I will pay attention to it later!"
"Sure enough, she is careless. She is just using reconciliation to continue to harm you!" Tan Yushu said angrily. She glanced at Shu Min opposite, but now, she sat quietly. There, his eyes were pure and gentle, not like a scheming person!
Gu Xiaowan patted her hand and signaled her to calm down.
She felt as if there was a line of sight on her body that had been watching her. From the moment she climbed up the stairs, she shook her head slightly, trying to find the direction of the line of sight, but in vain.
After everyone was seated, the banquet began with Shu Tianci's greetings to King Nanling.
"I am very pleased that King Nanling has come all the way. The good relations between our two countries are a blessing for our people. Here, I and my ministers treat each other with light wine and warmly welcome the arrival of King Nanling. I wish our two countries peace forever. "Shu Tianci stood up, and the ministers in the hall also stood up. Gu Xiaowan also stood up holding the wine glass.
Then a deep male voice was heard: "Thank you very much for the warm hospitality of the Qing Emperor. I am very grateful. Nanling is willing to form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty forever. To the Qing Emperor, to the regent, to all of you..."
The voice was very low, with a feminine evil aura and a king's domineering air. Gu Xiaowan had never seen the face of this Nanling King, but from his voice, Gu Xiaowan could tell that he was not easy to deal with. smell.
After hearing the respect for the regent, it seems that the regent has also come over. Gu Xiaowan didn't look up the whole time, and didn't know where the regent was sitting. She kept her head slightly lowered, eating quietly.
After three rounds of drinking, there was singing and dancing to add to the fun.
In the middle of the main hall, there was the music of singing, dancing and piano, and for a while, people were drinking and drinking, and it was peaceful.
After the singing and dancing stopped, I heard the voice I just heard saying: "Qing Emperor, Nanling came to worship this time. In addition to submitting to the Qing Emperor, there is one more thing. I am bold and want the Qing Emperor to agree."
Shu Tianci was surprised when he heard this: "Oh, I wonder what important matter King Nanling has?"
"Nanling wants to maintain the good relationship between Nanling and the Qing Dynasty for a hundred years. Therefore, when I come here this time, I have another important matter, which is to marry with the Qing Dynasty." The deep voice was very majestic, and it was heard in the entire hall. It was very clear, and all the mingling sounds suddenly stopped.
Shu Tianci smiled: "This is a banquet for King Nanling. Why don't we discuss this matter in two days?"
King Nanling shook his head and said loudly: "Nanling just wants to express our sincerity. We hereby make a promise in front of all the civil and military officials. The princess of the Qing Dynasty will definitely be my Queen Nanling. She will be favored in the harem and have a great status. The child born to the princess will be the future one. The crown prince is my next emperor of Nanling. Nanling surrenders to the Qing Dynasty, and we will have a good relationship for a hundred years, and we will keep our promise until death!"
Everyone gasped.
This Nanling actually used her position as queen to ask for marriage?
However, Nanling is a small country, and it is more than enough to marry a princess of the Qing Dynasty and become a queen. The key is that the King of Nanling has also assumed the status of the next emperor. As long as the princess is born, he will be the next King of Nanling. This way Promise, if the Qing Dynasty agrees, it will definitely not be a loss!
If this Nanling King is a hundred years from now,
Then maybe, in the hands of the next King of Nanling, he can capture Nanling in one fell swoop and expand the territory of the Qing Dynasty without spending a single soldier! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
When Gu Xiaowan heard that King Nanling was proposing to marry the princess, she looked at the eldest princess Lihua and saw that Lihua's hands were shaking invisibly and her eyebrows were knitted.
Shu Tianci smiled: "Nanling is indeed sincere. If the Qing Dynasty does not show sincerity, it will damage Nanling's sincerity. However, there is only one princess in the Qing Dynasty. If it is a marriage, it will be thousands of miles away. My mother and queen are afraid I will become sick with worry. Although I want to marry Nanling, my mother and queen... I cannot be an unfilial descendant."
Princess Lihua's body, which had always been tense, relaxed slightly.
