Qin Rushuang smiled faintly, thinking that she was still a little girl after all, and she couldn't hold her breath after just a few words.
"That's not true. I just saw that the little princess was very interested in the affairs of the prince's back house, so I just said that a little bit."
But the little princess got angry and said to Qin Rushuang: "Then I won't beat around the bush with you. I have heard a long time ago that you are not on good terms with King Huai and are very stingy.
The concubines were quarreling over each other, making the back house of Prince Huai's palace restless."
"I admire King Hua very much, and I can accept a man having three wives and four concubines."
She turned her gaze to King Nanman and said very directly: "Father, I want to go to Daqi with King Huai this time."
The Nanman King was so angry that he could hardly speak.
Although the folk customs of the Southern Barbarians were open, they did not rush to support men like this. For a moment, I didn't know whether to scold the daughter for being ignorant or to blame King Huai for bewitching his daughter even though he was so far away.
The Nanman Queen looked at Qin Rushuang with some worry.
Anyone who is openly coveted by someone else will be angry, right? The matter between the two countries has finally been settled. She also knows the status of Qin Rushuang in Xie Xun's heart. Don't let the two of them get away from each other just because of a few words from her daughter.
It would be better if the two countries are on opposite sides.
But Qin Rushuang's expression was still as calm as before.
When the little Nanman princess saw that everyone was silent, she became proud and said, "I know that there was some friction between Nanman and Daqi because of the border city. Now that we have shaken hands and made peace, why not make it more beautiful and let me go to Daqi to get married?
how?"
After finishing speaking, he still felt that what he said was very reasonable, and said to Xie Xun: "In this case, when I arrive in Daqi, the two countries will be in-laws, and the prince will no longer have to worry about the southern barbarians having any dissatisfaction with Daqi."
The Nanman King's face turned as serious as the bottom of a pot, and he scolded: "Nonsense!"
"King Huai and Princess Huai are very affectionate, and they can't tolerate others in their eyes. Let's not talk about it. You, a woman who has not yet left the palace, are so self-indulgent. I don't have a daughter like you!"
Seeing that both husband and wife were very angry, Qin Rushuang said calmly: "Why are the king and queen so angry? She is just a little girl who has just met the person she likes and has just begun to fall in love."
Hearing this, Princess Nanman was a little surprised that Qin Rushuang actually spoke to her.
"What do you mean? Do you agree with me marrying Prince Huai?"
Qin Rushuang smiled faintly and said: "The princess is right, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Before I was pregnant, there were indeed three good concubines in the palace, and one of them was a common concubine. However, the end was not good...
…”
"Of course, these are all things in the past. I won't comment now, but I don't know if the princess has heard a word of it."
"The ancients say that if you marry someone, you will become your wife, if you run away, you will become a concubine. I know that the little princess would not mind coming to my palace to be a concubine, but the ancients also said that if you run away to become a concubine, if you run away to become a concubine, it means that both parties are in love. If it is true,
The prince likes you, and having multiple concubines in the palace is just for opening your mouth, so I don’t mind."
"But now the prince seems to have no interest in the little princess. That means they like each other and elope, so wouldn't the little princess..."
Qin Rushuang opened her red lips lightly, but her words were not polite at all: "That means she is worse than a concubine."
As soon as Qin Rushuang finished speaking, it was not the little princess who was angry, but the Nanman King.
"Princess Huai doesn't know that Gu has doted on this daughter too much since she was a child, which made her a little anxious. What she said was indeed inappropriate, but she can't tolerate Princess Huai humiliating my only daughter like this!"
"King Nanmen is wrong." Before Qin Rushuang spoke, Xie Xun spoke first.
"The Nanman King pampered the little princess to such an extent that it is understandable, but I also want to apologize. In Prince Huai's Mansion, I also pampered my wife a little too much. I may not have taken the little princess's emotions into consideration when he spoke. Just now
What I said was a bit unpleasant, please forgive me, little princess."
That means that if your daughter speaks harshly, you can say that she is spoiled by you, so please forgive her; if my daughter-in-law speaks harshly, I can also say that she is spoiled by me, and please forgive me, little princess.
Who is not the one who is doted on?
Seeing that the originally harmonious atmosphere was turned into a tense situation, the Nanman Queen was not as doting on her daughter as the Nanman King was. She knew what was good and what was bad, and she also knew that what happened today was all because of the daughter's arrogant words, so she immediately reconciled it.
.
"King Huai, Princess Huai, my daughter made a mistake in what happened today. Please forgive me. I am here to apologize on his behalf to both of you, and to you!"
The queen scolded in a low voice: "You are becoming more and more unreasonably pampered by your father. Don't you know what you should say and what you shouldn't say?! Come here and apologize to these two distinguished guests!"
When the Nanman princess saw that her mother was angry, her arrogance immediately subsided.
To be honest, she is not afraid of the Nanman King, but is afraid that the Queen will be angry occasionally, because she knows that the Nanman King has no principles in doting on her, but the Queen will show her true feelings.
So she reluctantly walked up to Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang, saluted them, and said, "I made a mistake in what I said just now. Please forgive me."
Xie Xun did not accept her apology, but turned his attention to Qin Rushuang, "What do you think, Princess? I think this southern barbarian woman is indeed a bit arrogant and should be influenced by Da Qi."
That means asking Qin Rushuang, do you think you should forgive me?
If you can't forgive me, I don't mind leading troops to attack the Nanman.
The Nanman King's face turned dark when he heard this.
Arrogant! This Xie Xun is so arrogant!
Qin Rushuang suppressed a smile and said, "Forget it, Your Majesty. She is still young, so why bother with her?"
"Since the princess said she doesn't care, then let this matter be over."
The little Nanman princess never expected that she would have to look at Qin Rushuang's face to be forgiven in the end, so she left bitterly.
After the little princess left, the queen wanted to mediate the atmosphere between the two parties and said quickly, "Since King Huai has arrived at the Nanman Palace, he naturally wants to stay here to appreciate my Nanman style."
"Isn't this a coincidence? The Water Sprinkling Festival that was supposed to be held this summer has been canceled due to the summer drought and has been moved to these days. This is the most lively festival of the year in our southern barbarians. Please be sure to stay with King Huai and Princess Huai.
We should join together in the Nanman Imperial Palace."
The Water Sprinkling Festival mentioned by the Queen of Nanman is indeed a very important festival to Nanman.
The Nanman believe in the water god and believe that the clear water will bring them blessings and strength. However, they heard that there will be little rain in the summer in the Nanman this year, so they canceled it. It is now late autumn and early winter, and they still need to sprinkle water...
But thinking about it, there is no time of low temperature in Nanman all year round, so it seems that it is not strange to move to this time.
After hearing this invitation, Xie Xun subconsciously wanted to refuse.
He didn't want Qin Rushuang to stay here for one more second.
Just when he was about to refuse, Qin Rushuang gently tugged on his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, please stay."
Her movements were very gentle, but Xie Xun felt that the tug had a bit of coquettishness, and it directly touched his heart.
Seeing Qin Rushuang's slightly pleading eyes, she confusedly agreed.
Xie Xun didn't come back to his senses until the queen arranged to live in their courtyard.
Now that both cities have been recovered, why are you still here participating in the Water Sprinkling Festival?
Qin Rushuang smiled and glanced at him: "How long has it been since we came to Nanman from Kyoto? If this battle lasts shorter, it will only arouse others' suspicion."
"If the prince is willing to go back to the military camp, live in that tent all day, and be bitten by the poisonous insects, I don't mind, but I have to be "detained" in the Nanman Palace for a few days. After I go back, I can have a good relationship with my father."
"Complain."
Xie Xun thought for a moment and felt that what Qin Rushuang said made sense, so he reluctantly agreed.
