The Peasant Girl's Glory

Chapter 183 Envoys
Wang Qingxia looked left and right, approached Shen Furong and said in a low voice:

"I'm afraid my sister doesn't know yet. Today's banquet is said to be a reception banquet for the envoys of the Northern Qiang Kingdom. In fact, it is a palace banquet to choose a lady who will be recognized as a princess and go to the Northern Qiang Kingdom to marry."

Shen Furong's eyes flashed after hearing this, there really are no secrets in this deep palace, she really answered that sentence, there is no airtight wall in the world, it seems that everyone has put eyeliner in the palace.

She was stunned, only to hear Wang Qingxia say:

"I heard that the new head of the Northern Qiang Kingdom is both talented and handsome, and he is young and promising, so he is a good match.

It's just that these noble girls have been raised in the boudoir since childhood, and how many are willing to marry away from relatives and friends?
I don’t know what other people think, but I don’t want to go to the northern Qiang country, which is bitter, cold, dry, and full of yellow sand. "

Shen Furong nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, neither you nor I will go to kiss."

Wang Qingxia's favorite person is Yu Chonglou. Although Yu Chonglou is not in the capital now, as a friend of Yu Chonglou, she must be optimistic about Wang Qingxia for Yu Chonglou.

Shen Furong and Wang Qingxia chatted a few more words. Seeing that the previous girls were still arguing in a low voice, they stepped forward a few steps and listened.

Only one girl said:
"I heard from my father that in the past years, the Northern Qiang Kingdom has harassed the border of my dynasty a lot, and the dispute with my dynasty has been going on for hundreds of years. For my dynasty, it would be great to have him submit."

Another girl in yellow looked worried:
"I just heard that this Northern Qiang country is a vulgar place, and its folk customs are sturdy. If it is really chosen to marry, then it won't be peeled off?"

A girl in red sneered when she heard this, "Don't worry, the Empress will not choose a weak and stupid person to kiss her!"

The yellow-clothed girl's face suddenly turned red and white, and she immediately glared at the red-clothed girl:

"Who are you calling stupid? Zhu Yiyan, don't go too far!"

The girl called Zhu Yiyan snorted:
"I only know hearsay, isn't it stupid?
To tell you the truth, one of my father's lieutenants once stayed in the Northern Qiang Kingdom. According to him, the national style of the Northern Qiang is more open than mine, and women are very free and can go out and play in the streets at will.

Moreover, the new master of the Northern Qiang Kingdom is very handsome, talented, and has excellent martial arts. He is the dream prince of many girls in the Northern Qiang Kingdom!If she were to marry, she would be the queen of the new lord of the Northern Qiang Kingdom! "

The other girl burst into a smile when she heard the words, with a look of surprise on her face:

"Zhu Yiyan, after all that, do you still like beautiful men?"

The other girls covered their mouths and laughed when they heard the words.

Wang Qingxia's eyes were also full of smiles, and she said to Shen Furong who was not sure why:
"Zhu Yiyan is the daughter of the frontier general Zhu Zheng. This girl is born with a love for money, food, and sex. Once, she looked at a handsome man on the street and saw a nosebleed..."

Shen Furong's eyes suddenly lit up, she couldn't help but look at Zhu Yiyan, it turned out to be a fellow!

In the face of everyone's teasing, Zhu Yiyan didn't take it seriously:

"Beautiful men are eye-catching, and you don't think about it, in order to demonstrate to the Northern Qiang Kingdom, let them see the wealthy people of my dynasty, and the dowry with the pro-princess must be very rich, there is no shortage of gold and silver jewelry, and the necessary stature and pomp are also It must be not low, otherwise what is the prestige of Shangguo?"

Hearing her say that, the girls laughed even more.

The previous girl in yellow sneered at the corner of her mouth and said to Zhu Yiyan:
"Since the beautiful man of wealth and silk is right on your mind, why don't you go and have a kiss, the sisters of the province are worried here!"

Zhu Yiyan shook her head with regret in her tone:
"My father has already arranged a marriage for me. I'm only going to the palace this time for fun."

As soon as Zhu Yiyan said this, all the girls were silent.

Since the news that the royal family is going to choose a noble daughter and recognize her as a princess to go to the Northern Qiang Kingdom to get married, countless high-ranking officials and clans are in a panic.

All the girls standing here today, all those who have not decided on marriage, are just pawns for the family to climb up.

After an unknown time, a female official came quickly and broke the silence:

"The banquet has begun. The Queen Mother sent me to invite the girls to move to the front hall."

The girls looked up, only to find that Empress Yu had led the ladies out of the door, and everyone got up and followed the female officer out.

Shen Furong was also among the girls, and the group went to the place where the guests were entertained in the front hall.

As soon as Shen Furong arrived in the hall, she felt a line of sight following her. She looked up and found Xiao Tianmo sitting diagonally opposite her.

Xiao Tianmo was actually wearing the robe that she accidentally wiped her nose with in Juxianlou that day.

The eyes of the two collided, Xiao Tianmo raised his eyebrows at Shen Furong, and reached out and tugged at his sleeve intentionally or unintentionally, as if to remind Shen Furong of his evil deeds.

Shen Furong's eyes twitched and she lowered her head silently. She always felt that she forgot something in the past two days. It turned out that she forgot to go to the street to find new clothes for Xiao Tianmo.

At this moment, the hall was very lively, and the civil and military ministers and family members of the Manchu Dynasty came to attend the ceremony one after another, and there was a happy scene all around.

Not long after, the emperor and Empress Yu entered the hall, and everyone immediately got up and saluted, knelt down on the mountain and shouted:

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, the empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old..."

The emperor's smiling eyes swept over the crowd, and let them sit flat, and then let the envoys from the Northern Qiang Kingdom go to the palace.

Following the sound of a few internal attendants, after a while, a dozen figures vaguely appeared outside the hall.

There was silence in the hall for a while, everyone stared at the outside of the hall, Shen Furong also raised her head and looked over, full of curiosity about this legendary envoy of the Northern Qiang Kingdom.

Soon, these envoys of the Northern Qiang Kingdom appeared in everyone's field of vision.

All they saw were their long gowns reaching their knees, braids and handkerchiefs, oval-shaped ornaments woven with silver wire and inlaid with agate, jade and coral hanging on their chests, and pointed leather boots on their feet, and their eyes were as sharp as knives.

Whether it is the attire or the wild and unrestrained expression in his eyes, it is completely different from the people of this dynasty.

Shen Furong's pupils shrank suddenly when she saw the fair-faced young man with a femininity in his brows walking in the ranks of the envoys, it was him!

The man who broke into her boudoir in the middle of the night!

This man was still as handsome, but his attire was completely different from the previous one. It turned out that he was an envoy of the Northern Qiang Kingdom.

Shen Furong's face showed a look of surprise, she almost couldn't help but exclaimed, and finally she was forced to hold back.

The handsome man walking in front of him obviously recognized Shen Furong as well.

His eyes were firmly fixed on Shen Furong's face. Seeing that Shen Furong was not as full of pearls as other noble ladies, there was a dazzling array of dazzling eyes. There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and his lips were slightly upturned.

The tall man walking at the front should be the leader of this group of envoys.

He led all the envoys to the center of the hall and stood still, bowed slightly to the emperor and Empress Yu who were seated above, and worshipped according to the etiquette of the Northern Qiang Kingdom:
"Wu Yanji, the envoy of the Northern Qiang State, greets the emperor and the empress."
