Qi State, its capital is Bianjing.
This is the most prosperous city and the largest city in the world.
Bianjing is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, on a vast plain, to the south of a large river.
There is an endless stream of traders and soldiers in the city, and there are endless pavilions and pavilions.
The entire city is a bustling scene.
Today is a good day, two things happened.
One thing is that South Korea in the north sent a team of envoys and entered the capital.
Another thing, today is the day chosen by the Crown Princess of Qi.
In the Imperial Palace of Qi, Emperor Jiang Ji of Qi was sitting in front of a large hall, looking at the rows of beautiful women standing on the square in front of him.
The sun is just right today, the breeze is neither dry nor hot, and it is very pleasant.
He wants to personally choose the princess for his prince.
Prince Jiang Huan stood beside his father and looked at the women below.
To put it bluntly, his eyes were always on a woman and never moved away.
The woman stood behind the crowd, holding a pipa, her head slightly lowered, silent, her face dignified and quiet, her appearance was very gentle and beautiful, and when people saw her, they couldn't help but feel fondness in their hearts.
It is an elegant and frail beauty.
The nuns in the palace were thinking about the life experience, family, age and talents of the beautiful girls below.
Following the shouts of the mammy, the beautiful ladies came forward one by one, introduced themselves, showed off their talents, and desperately wanted to please the prince Jiang Huan.
You know, their fate all depends on the prince's thoughts.
Whether to be a palace maid or a princess.
From now on, I have to serve others and look at other people's faces every day. I am precarious and locked in this deep palace.
Whether he flies up a branch and becomes a phoenix, becomes a crown prince, and becomes the empress of the world in the future, it all depends on the prince holding the jade Ruyi in front of him.
Their fate depends only on other people's thoughts.
But what they didn't know was that the prince already had a candidate in mind.
The most suitable candidate in his heart, the woman he likes the most.
In the rounds of talent shows, it soon came to the turn of the woman who was still holding the pipa and half-hiding her face.
Grandma shouted,
"The beautiful girl Jiang Daige comes from the Jiang family in Hedong. Her father is Jiang Ran, the governor of Heming County, and her mother is from the Jiangtian family. She has three generations of innocence. She is good at poetry, poetry, and pipa. She is both talented and beautiful."
Jiang Daige held Pipa in her arms, walked forward, gave a generous blessing, and said,
"My daughter pays homage to the officials and the prince. I would like to perform a song for you."
Qi Emperor Jiang Ji smiled and said,
"Okay, let's show it quickly. Come and give me a seat. You have to sit down to play the pipa."
The eunuch immediately moved a chair and walked over.
Jiang Daige sat on the chair, hugged the pipa, and started playing slowly.
The beautiful and lively singing voice emerged like a trickling river. The lively and smart voice made everyone present intoxicated.
As the pipa sounded, Jiang Daige also slowly opened his mouth and sang the lyrics.
"The crane's cry is heard in Jiugao, and the sound can be heard in the wild. The fish lurks in the abyss, perhaps in Zhu..."
Soon, the song ended, and everyone seemed to be still immersed in this beautiful singing.
After a while, Qi Emperor Jiang Ji waved his hand and said,
"Okay, okay, there is such a beautiful song in the world. It is ethereal, sweet, lively and smart, and it makes me feel like I have returned to the time when I was young and playing in Qishui.
The water in Qi is flowing, and the boat is filled with cypress trees and pine trees.
On the calm river, a trickle passed by, the breeze blew, ripples appeared, and a few white cranes danced on the water, just like a fairyland on earth.
Girl, what’s the name of this song? "
Jiang Daige smiled and said,
"Reporting to the official family, this song is called "Qishui Ode". It is a song from the hometown of my daughter. It is a folk song and it is difficult to be elegant and make the official family and the prince laugh."
"Oh? I really guessed it right. It is indeed Qishui. That's right. Only the quiet and lively Qishui is worthy of such a song.
How can I raise such an ethereal and beautiful person? "
Emperor Qi laughed loudly, and the women around him were filled with jealousy.
For the emperor to praise him like this, Jiang Daige is really smoking from his ancestral grave.
Bah, the smoke is not enough, it is the fire.
Emperor Qi Jiang Ji looked at Prince Jiang Huan and said with a smile,
"Prince, there are so many beautiful girls, do you have any one you like?"
"Reporting to the Emperor Father, I already have a candidate I like."
"Well, I said that I will let you choose your concubine in person today, and I will not interfere. I will let you choose a woman that you really like, so that you can be in love with each other and work together.
Go on your own and give the jade Ruyi to the woman you like..."
"Oh, I haven't finished speaking yet. I see you are impatient."
Jiang Ji laughed and looked at the prince who couldn't wait to stride forward without getting angry.
Jiang Huan didn't squint, his aim was accurate, and he went straight to Jiang Daige who was at the front.
When Jiang Daige saw this, her heart was racing and she couldn't help but become nervous.
Prince...are you going to choose me?
Sure enough, the prince walked up to her, held the jade Ruyi, and said to Jiang Daige,
"Miss Jiang, are you willing to marry me and stay with me forever?"
In fact, when it comes to drafting girls, you need to ask the girl whether she agrees with it. Which one you like, Yu Ruyi will just give it to you and lead him away. How dare the girl say anything wrong?
That is a great blessing.
Asking questions means that the prince is well-mannered, knows etiquette, and will not force others to do anything.
Jiang Daige blushed and said,
"My daughter is willing."
"good."
Jiang Huan handed the jade Ruyi in his hand to Jiang Daige, and then led her forward.
"Father, my son has already chosen. I would like to marry the daughter of the Jiang family. I hope that my father will grant me the marriage."
Jiang Ji smiled and said,
"You, you, when I was listening to the music just now, I saw that your eyes are all on this girl from the Jiang family.
That's fine, this girl from the Jiang family is handsome, dignified, talented and beautiful, and you are well-educated, courteous, and good at reading books from sages, and have a gentle and gentle temperament. Your two temperaments are also a perfect match.
Your mother died early, and I have no longer set up the palace. No one can arrange your marriage, so I will make the decision. This girl from the Jiang family will be betrothed to you.
The two of you must always be of the same mind, treat each other as equals, respect each other as guests, and support your family. "
"Thank you very much, my dear father."
"My dearest lady, thank you so much."
The two of them saluted together.
"Okay, okay, get up quickly. Girl from the Jiang family, don't call me Guanjia anymore. Call me Father. Although you two haven't gotten married yet, it's settled today. In half a month, , we will hold a wedding ceremony for you two."
"Thank you, Father."
Jiang Daige saluted again.
"Well, Miss Jiang family, you can live in this palace and study more, you know?"
