The first two gifts were already extremely precious. After Murong Qingwan accepted the Peacock King Stone, all the ministers began to look forward to what the final gift would be for the prince of Qiu Di Kingdom.
Murong Chunlai looked around the scene for a week, his eyes flickering over Chu Lan vaguely, and finally looked at Chu Wei, "This last gift is not a gift, but the most beautiful princess of my Qiu Di. I want...
Dedicated to His Majesty."
As he finished speaking, everyone saw the one at the front of the three women who had just entered slowly stand up and lightly bowed towards the stage, "Murong Xiaoxiao has met His Majesty Da Hui, the Queen.
"
The woman has a graceful figure and a voice as gentle as an oriole. As she moves, the silver bells on her ankles make a sweet sound. Although she is wearing a veil, her alluring beauty cannot be concealed.
In the exchanges between the two countries, it is not uncommon for people to give gifts to people, and even marriage is a common practice.
But this was the first time Qiu Di came here and he made such a big move. What was he trying to do?
Moreover, I just gave a gift to the queen, and now I’m giving it to the emperor? So what if it’s the princess? What’s the purpose of this?
Qiu Di's visiting envoys had all reported as early as ten days ago, but there was no such princess among them.
Chu Wei also knew a thing or two about what he was sending today. After all, he lived in the Dahui Post House, and no matter how secretive he was, he would still leave clues.
Subconsciously, Chu Wei looked in the direction of Chu Lan.
Chu Lan is responsible for this matter. If he does not even understand the envoy's situation, he will not be derelict in his duty.
This matter can be big or small. If the scene is handled properly, it will pass like a gust of wind. But if something goes wrong, you don't need to think too much to know that someone will make a fuss about it.
However, this is indeed a dilemma.
Turning to look at Murong Qingwan, who obviously did not expect such a scene, Chu Wei took her finger and squeezed it.
Murong Qingwan came back to her senses. Although her face was as usual, her eyes were obviously helpless.
Sighing quietly in his heart, Chu Wei had a warm and kind smile on his face, "I didn't know that the princess was among them, but I was rude. It's just that the princess is young, beautiful, and has a high status."
Noble, I am now middle-aged, but I want to let down the princess’s youth.”
When the ministers heard this, they immediately realized that Your Majesty was planning to refuse.
But if the proposed princess is rejected, wouldn’t the scene be embarrassing?
While the ministers were waiting for Chu Wei's next arrangements, Murong Chunlai smiled and shook his head, took two steps forward and stood next to the woman, "Your Majesty, there is no need to refuse in a hurry, how about taking a look at Xiaoxiao first?
"
Chu Wei frowned, "Even if she is wearing a veil, I know that Princess Xiao is beautiful, but..."
The words stopped abruptly the moment the woman lifted her veil.
The ministers saw the smile on Chu Wei's face solidified, and his usually majestic and gentle eyes were filled with obvious surprise.
Are you shocked by the beauty of the princess?
Subconsciously, all the ministers looked at the princess.
When they saw the princess' appearance, even though they were well prepared, they couldn't help but be startled. Soon, everyone almost unanimously looked at Murong Qingwan who was sitting in the back seat.
Like, really like, so similar!
She has five points of charm and six points of eyebrows. If the Queen were ten years younger, she would have eight points of resemblance!
No wonder Prince Naqiudi is so confident. No wonder he must make this the finale. Who can withstand it?
And besides Your Majesty, who would dare to marry such a woman who is more or less similar to the Queen?
Murong Qingwan looked at the face of the woman below and felt her heart startled. She was about to pull her fingers back unconsciously. It was not until Chu Wei held her tightly that she suddenly turned her head and came back to her senses.
No one said anything at the scene, but the undercurrent in the silence silently explained everything.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Chu Wei breathed out softly, "The princess is indeed born to be the most beautiful person in the country, but I have not had a harem for ten years. If I break my trust because of the princess, I am afraid that the princess will be wronged. And
At the age of the princess, the best choice is to find a young man. What does the second prince think?"
Upon hearing this, the ministers understood that no matter what happened, Chu Wei would never accept this woman.
But although these words were well-founded and the choice was given back to Murong Chunlai, how could Prince Qiu Di accept it so easily? After all, wasn't the reason why he did this just to force Chu Wei to submit?
But if he really goes along with his wishes, then where should the Queen put her face?
However, just when the ministers were feeling uneasy, Murong Chunlai smiled heartily, "Is it because the young king has not thought it through well, or is His Majesty reasonable and wise? How about asking Your Majesty to grant Xiaoxiao a marriage?"
This sudden donkey descending down the slope made the ministers slightly startled, but more importantly, they admired Prince Qiu Di's judgment of the situation.
Chu Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, why not ask the princess to choose her own husband? If there is someone you like, I will marry you."
Murong Chunlai turned to look at the woman on the side, his eyes seemed to be a little encouraging, "Xiaoxiao, Your Majesty has already spoken, why don't you take a look at everyone present, is there anyone you like?"
Murong Xiaoxiao glanced at Chu Wei first, then quickly lowered his head, "Brother, I..."
Seeing her like this, Murong Chunlai couldn't help but smile and patted her shoulder, "If you don't know who to choose now, there's no rush."
"It's not that I don't know, it's just... Xiaoxiao is just afraid that he won't want it." Murong Xiaoxiao gritted his teeth and his voice was as low as a mosquito, but it still fell into everyone's ears clearly.
The ministers who were originally slightly hostile to her suddenly felt a little pity in their hearts when they saw her cautious appearance. Chu Wei also smiled and nodded, "No matter who it is, the princess just chooses."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone saw the princess who looked timid a second ago suddenly raise her hand, so fast that no one had time to react, "Then, then I want him!"
Her voice was still pitiful, but this time it was no longer timid, but full of expectation.
And the direction her finger was pointing...
The ministers twitched their mouths, and now they seemed to be having fun.
Chu Lan calmly looked at the slender jade finger pointing to herself, glanced at her face lightly, looked somewhere vaguely out of the corner of her eye, and stood up, "Thank you for your favor, princess, I...
…”
However, before Chu Lan could finish speaking, a clear female voice suddenly came from the scene, "Why is Her Royal Highness so anxious? She has just arrived at Dahui and has to make important decisions in her life just a short while ago? Aren't you afraid of being entrusted to someone else?"
?”
In this scene where hundreds of officials are present, who else can say this and dare to say this except Zhang Qingjiu?
Everyone turned around and saw Zhang Qingjiu holding half a wine glass, half-squinting his eyes, and staggering over.
Looking at her half-drunk appearance, Chu Lan's eyes darkened, and the unspoken words "I already have someone I like, I may let down the princess' deep love" rolled in his mouth and swallowed.
