Chapter 193 The princess as a gift!
Liu Mo frowned, "Master Luo, don't say such nonsense!"
"How dare I deceive you, Mr. Liu!" Luo Shou explained: "King Xingluo made it clear that his princess was given to His Majesty as an apology gift, which is completely different from an ordinary marriage.
Since it is a gift, why shouldn't your Majesty give it to his ministers?"
Good guy, what you said makes perfect sense and is completely impossible to refute!
My life experience goes back eighteen generations and I would not have anything to do with the royal family of Great Xia, yet I am now the most dazzling “star” in Great Xia!
Give Princess Xingluo to me. Accepting this gift is equivalent to confiscation. It will undoubtedly slap King Xingluo hard in the face!
But, this girl is a person, not an object, she can be sent around, damn!
At this time, there was a light knock on the door.
"Come in." Luo Shou responded, and two palace painters walked into the room, bowed, and then started to prepare a painting for Princess Xingluo's portrait!
This is a normal process that Liu Mo knew on earth. When selecting concubines in the palace, there were too many people, so the emperor had no way to check them all. He could only ask the painter to draw portraits, and then choose the one he liked from the portraits.
However, what happened next was beyond Liu Mo's expectation.
The painter had just picked up his pen when he heard a eunuch's voice coming from outside the door: "Wait a minute!"
Liu Mo turned around and found that the person who came was none other than Eunuch Cai, who had gone to deliver the edict last time.
"Master Luo, Master Liu!" He said in a high-pitched voice, "These women sent by the barbarians do not need to be examined for their bodies before they are presented to your majesty?"
Barbarians? Check?
Good guy, this title is very exciting!
You are the prince's man, is it possible that the prince also has opinions on Xingluo Kingdom? You are deliberately looking for trouble!
"Check? How to check?" Luo Shou asked.
"Of course, according to the rules, explore her breasts, smell her armpits, feel her texture, and check her chastity!"
Damn it! Are you serious?
The plot of choosing a concubine in the movie on Earth suddenly appeared in Liu Mo's mind. The eunuch took a ruler to measure the height, waist, chest, arms, hands, and legs and recorded them one by one.
Then they take her to a closed room, take off her clothes and check her whole body to see if there are any spots or scars on her body, smell if there is any peculiar smell on her body, and check if she is a virgin.
She is Princess Xingluo!
Could it be that you suspect that King Xingluo would let a green-tea bitch pretend to be his own daughter and give it to the Emperor of Great Xia?
When Princess Xingluo heard this, she couldn't help but close her eyes tightly, feeling extremely embarrassed and angry.
"Eunuch Cai!" Liu Mo couldn't help but say, "Princess Xingluo is an extraordinary woman, so there is no need to check her!"
"Master Liu, the rules in this palace are rules. No one can violate them," Eunuch Cai said politely.
"Rules are set by people. Your Majesty asked me to receive envoys, and I will not do anything that is disgraceful to the country!" Liu Mo said sternly.
"Master Liu, this slave does not mean to make things difficult, she is just doing things according to the order!"
"Whose order?"
"Of course he is the current crown prince!"
Good guy, what a prince! What do these two brothers want to do?
"Then I will go see the prince now and ask for his life to be taken back!" Liu Mo announced, adding a hint of majesty to his tone.
"Master Liu, you are making things difficult for our family!"
"So what?" Liu Mo lost his patience.
Yeah, I'm not even afraid of the eldest prince, but will I be intimidated by a eunuch like you?
Seeing this, Luo Shou immediately acted as a peacemaker, "You two, please be patient." He said, "According to the rules, it is natural to have to test. However, since she is the princess of Xingluo, she only needs to be tested for her chastity. What about the Crown Prince?
, I guess they didn’t explain how to test it, right?”
As he said that, he glanced at the two of them and said, "How are you two?"
Eunuch Cai knew Liu Mo's temper and was worried about not being able to get off the stairs. When he heard this, he immediately replied: "We also mean the same thing. Mr. Liu, you have misunderstood!"
Liu Mo looked at Luo Shou's expression and knew that Eunuch Cai had made a concession, which was the bottom line.
So he said: "Misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"Then? Your servant will check now?" Eunuch Cai asked.
"That's not appropriate! Let the painter paint first." Liu Mo said, "It would be more appropriate to test one's chastity again, and it would be more appropriate for the aunt in the palace!"
"This..." Eunuch Cai frowned at first, and after seeing Liu Mo's expression, he reacted quickly and said, "This is indeed the case, Mr. Liu is thoughtful!"
The matter was settled like this. Luo Shengsheng brought tea and cakes and "supervised" the portraits of the two painters.
During this period, Liu Mo accidentally saw Princess Xingluo focusing on him, as if to express her gratitude.
"No need to thank me," Liu Mo thought to himself, "I just don't want to escalate the conflicts between countries to the point where they cannot be reconciled!"
Time passed very quickly. The two palace painters finished the portrait, and Luo Shou added other information and put it into the brocade box.
Since Eunuch Cai did not bring the old maid from the palace, the physical examination had to be postponed until tomorrow.
The matter of counting the gifts has come to an end.
"Master Liu, Eunuch Cai, it's already noon. I wonder if Master Liu would like to reward Luo as a host?" Luo Shou asked after Eunuch Cai left.
The Minister of Etiquette invites you to dinner? Very nice!
However, Liu Mo suddenly thought of another person, "Where is she?" He pointed at Princess Xingluo.
"Of course I'll go back to the inn for dinner!" Luo Shou replied.
"Send the princess back to the inn first, then let's talk!" Liu Mo said.
"Then Luo will go to Yulan Pavilion and book a table first. Mr. Liu, will you come after you finish your work?" Luo Shou suggested.
It was indeed inappropriate to take such a special person to dinner, but it was a good suggestion. Liu Mo immediately nodded in agreement.
So Liu Mo led Princess Xingluo into a carriage and was escorted all the way back to the inn by the Yulin Guards of the Daxia royal family.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard Princess Xingluo say: "Master Liu, please stay!"
Liu Mo turned around and saw Princess Xingluo kneeling on the ground, "Thank you so much, sir!"
"No need to say thank you for what you're doing!"
"They call you Mr. Liu. Are you the military god who single-handedly defeated the Zhou Dynasty's 'Mo Viper': Liu Mo?"
Damn it, the military gods are here...
Liu Mo's face turned red and he said: "I don't dare to accept it, I am Liu Mo!"
"Master Liu, please bow to me, little lady!" Princess Xingluo said and knelt down on the ground, "You are the great hero of our Xingluo. To be able to meet such a great hero like you is really a blessing from God. Ayina
!”
Don't praise me so much, I'll be arrogant, Liu Mo thought to himself.
"Princess, please get up quickly!" He stepped forward to help her up, "Princess, your name is Ayina?"
Aina nodded.
"Where's the last name?" Liu Mo asked curiously.
"My lord, a Xingluo woman doesn't have a surname before she gets married, and after she gets married, she takes her husband's surname!"
"Okay!" Liu Mo smiled.
However, at this moment, Ayina knelt down again, "Master Liu, everyone in our Xingluo tribe says that you are the most respected person by His Highness the Sixth Prince. Ayina, please, please explain to the Sixth Prince that I
Xing Luo has no rebellious intentions.
It’s the Zhou Dynasty. They invaded Xingluo and captured my father and brother Wang. If we don’t use the road to send troops with him, the Zhou Dynasty will destroy my entire clan!”
When Liu Mo heard this, his heart trembled.
