After everyone in the hall was almost ready.
Following the shrill voice of the little eunuch, the emperor, empress and queen mother walked in from the gate and sat at the highest place. Everyone saluted in unison.
Immediately afterwards, the princes and princes led the envoys from various countries in.
A total of eight small countries sent envoys to congratulate the court, and three of them arranged for princes and princesses to come in a huge formation.
A group of people greeted the person sitting in the highest position in the Mandarin of the Jin Dynasty.
"You don't have to be polite." The emperor said with a smile on his face, "Please take a seat, taste the food and wine of our Jin Dynasty, and enjoy the songs and dances of our Jin Dynasty."
A group of enchanting beauties filed in and started playing music and dancing in the center of the hall, raising the atmosphere to the highest level.
Yun Chu and Du Ling sat together.
After Du Ling was eighty percent full, he pulled Yun Chu to talk: "Did you see that, that is the princess of Hongnan Kingdom. It is said that this princess came to our Jin Dynasty to choose a husband. This will continue the friendly exchanges between Hongnan and Dajin."
Yun Chu looked around and saw that the princess was dressed in red, with a snow-white scarf around her neck and her head covered with pearls. She didn't look cumbersome at all, but she could see a bit of the girl's innocence and naivety.
A man who can marry a princess from another country must at least be of noble birth.
Yun Chu thought about it for a while, but he couldn't remember who the princess married in the end.
In her previous life, she really only wanted to be a good wife and mother, completely ignoring the outside world. It was reasonable that she ended up like that.
Just as she was thinking, she felt someone staring at her.
Following her gaze, she met the Queen Mother's calm and cold eyes.
She curved her lips, showed a smile, and raised her glass to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother squeezed the cup tightly, suppressing her anger.
Last time at the Jinying Palace, if Chu Yi hadn't suddenly appeared and her Rui'er had drank Yun Chu's hard work, the disease would have been cured.
pity!
What a pity!
The cup in her hand was almost crushed. The anger in the Queen Mother's heart dissipated in the wine cup, and then she spoke softly: "Ruier, what do you think of Princess Guli?"
Chu Rui only glanced at it and said in a very calm voice: "No."
The Queen Mother finally took a deep breath and came up again. She said coldly: "Princess Guli is the apple of King Hongnan's eye. She came to Jin Dynasty this time to choose a good husband for herself. If you marry Gu Princess Li, then the entire Hongnan Kingdom can be used by you."
Chu Rui stopped talking and just lowered his head to drink tea.
If there weren't many people here, the Queen Mother would have smashed the cup in her hand.
The direct grandson she raised with her own hands, the child she raised with a mouthful of milk and a mouthful of blood, now doesn't take her seriously at all.
What should a child who has lost control do?
Give up?
How could you give up?
Is there anyone more suitable?
The Queen Mother picked up the wine glass and drank it.
She suddenly understood that no matter how reluctant she was, she could only give up.
If you wait for someone to die, then there will really be nothing left.
so! must! Let Ruier give birth to a child before she dies! It doesn't matter who you marry, the important thing is to leave an heir so that you can make big plans.
The Queen Mother's face was full of kindness: "Since you don't want to, then that's all."
Chu Rui was still expressionless, sitting there drinking tea alone, as if he was not in the same world as the people around him.
After the song and dance performance, Princess Guli asked to dance for the emperor on the spot.
She is dressed in a bright red dress, with jingling pearls all over her head. The girl's agile figure makes her dance particularly exotic.
There are many unmarried noble men in the main hall, but their eyes are just like those of the princess.
The princess held the bell in her hand and walked quickly past the men, leaving behind a scent unique to the Hongnan Kingdom.
After the song and dance, the emperor laughed and said, "I wonder how Princess Guli thinks the men from our Jin Dynasty compare to those from Hongnan?"
Princess Guli put her hand on her chest and replied respectfully: "The men of the Jin Dynasty are better in appearance. However, their body shape and strength are not as good as our warriors from the Hongnan Kingdom, but -"
She changed the topic, and the flowing light fell on a man in the hall, "Of course, Dajin also has warriors. In him, I saw the power that belongs to Dajin."
The person she was looking at was Chu Yi.
"Princess, you have good eyesight. This is our third prince of the Jin Dynasty, King Pingxi." A minister said, "King Pingxi has killed all the tough bandits of our Jin Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most brave man in the Jin Dynasty."
Princess Guli said with a smile, "King Pingxi, nice to meet you."
Chu Yi cupped her hands and said, "Princess Guli, nice to meet you."
"Yeah, I'm attracted to King Pingxi." Du Ling pulled Yun Chu to bite his ears, "Now that the fifth prince is still young, the only prince eligible for marriage is King Pingxi. If King Pingxi marries Princess Guli, then he will be married to Princess Gong. King Xi is evenly matched."
The prince married the eldest daughter of the grand master, and the two concubines were both legitimate daughters of second-rank official families. In addition, the power of the queen's family, the Gongsun family, meant that no matter who King Pingxi married, they could not compare to the prince.
And Princess Gongxi is the second daughter of a great scholar. If Prince Pingxi married a princess from another country, she would be almost as powerful as Prince Gongxi.
Yunchu changed the topic: "When is Xiaoying's wedding scheduled? I'll go have a wedding drink."
"Hey -" Du Ling sighed when talking about this matter, "Originally the wedding was scheduled for next spring, but Xiaoying's fiancé suddenly fell ill, and he was seriously ill. He even asked the imperial doctor to see him, and he said he was very healthy. Maybe we won’t survive this cold winter.”
Yun Chu pointed his finger: "Is it so serious?"
Du Ling nodded: "Maybe there is no marriage in Xiaoying's life. Forget it, let's leave it like that. It's not like the Du family can't afford to raise a daughter."
Xiaoying herself fell in love with the fourth prince, and the fourth prince died.
The Du family has chosen Xiaoying, the son of the deputy left governor, and it seems that he will not live long.
What is destined cannot be counterbalanced by human beings.
Yunchu said, "Have you asked a miracle doctor to see you?"
Du Ling shook his head: "I wrote several letters to Qingzhou, but there was no news from him. Doctor Si must have gone on a trip."
Yun Chu noted this matter and went back to ask Mrs. Wu where Mr. Wu had gone with Doctor Si.
Speaking of Master Wu, Yun Chu felt very happy.
In the previous life, all the Wu family members died of strange diseases. In this life, she sent Master Wu to the doctor Si in advance. A few months ago, Master Wu wrote a letter saying that the things on his face were slowly recovering from ulcers. My health gradually improved.
It is said that a long-term illness makes a doctor good. Master Wu has been ill for so many years and has done some research on the treatment of diseases. When he arrived in Qingzhou, he lived in the medicine hall of the Divine Doctor Si. He was exposed to the disease every day. He became more and more familiar with this aspect and gradually became obsessed with it. Therefore, Doctor Si kept Master Wu by his side as his apprentice.
After the banquet in the palace, Yun Chu sent someone to the hot spring village to ask Mrs. Wu about the situation.
Chu Yi stood on the steps of the main hall and watched Yun Chu's figure disappear on the palace road.
At this time, a pretty girl suddenly appeared in front of him: "King Pingxi, what are you looking at?"
Chu Yi's expression was extremely cold.
However, when he saw Prince Gongxi Chu Mo appearing not far away from his peripheral vision, the corners of his cold lips curved into something similar to a smile, but the smile was not as bright as his eyes at all. He said: "What's the matter with Princess Gu... ?”
He really couldn't remember whether the princess was called Gu Li or Gu Yue, so he could only vaguely remember.
