Chapter 147 Have We Met
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at each other.
This horse's hair is very dense. Let alone visual inspection, you don't even know how long it will take to count the hairs.
The third prince said displeasedly: "The envoy is deliberately making things difficult. Is it possible that you can still see how many hairs this horse has?"
The envoy cupped his hands and said: "I have little talent and little knowledge, so naturally I can't do it. I thought that in the kingdom of heaven, there must be someone who can solve my doubts. Of course, if no one can solve it, then it seems that I am still the one who can solve it."
, a bit overestimated.”
He went to heaven one after another, just to lift him up high and then throw him down hard, so that he could suppress one side first and seek benefits in the later negotiations.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, showing deep displeasure.
It is obvious that a defeated country came to negotiate peace, but it still deliberately creates difficulties like this, which shows that it is not sincere.
There was silence for a moment, and Wu Sunang, the prince of the Northern Li Kingdom, laughed loudly: "It seems they are all the same. The so-called great country is just that."
Such words were already very provocative. Si Moli said coldly: "What if you can tell?"
Wusunang frowned. He naturally recognized that it was Prince Li who spoke. He had beaten them back steadily: "Prince Li, please don't just talk casually."
Si Moli's face was cold: "You dare to say more even if you are a defeated general? I see that this horse has 57,221 more hairs than you have on your whole body."
The prince of Northern Li State clenched his fists and even compared him to a beast!
He gritted his teeth and wanted to curse, but he also understood that this was not the time to be impulsive.
The envoy was dumbfounded. This was all in order, as if Si Moli really knew it: "Your Majesty, this..."
"What, is this king right?" Si Moli snorted coldly: "Since the envoy doesn't believe it, then take the eldest prince and the horse back to the country to count them carefully."
When King Li said this, some people below couldn't help but laugh.
The Sixth Prince burst out laughing: "Envoys, please count them carefully. Don't blame us for saying the wrong thing if you miss one."
The envoy's face turned green and white. They were here to negotiate peace. This meant that if they continued to act like monsters, they would have nothing to gain. Besides, it was impossible for him to really count how many hairs there were on the eldest prince's body.
So, he had no choice but to change the topic with an embarrassed look: "Prince Li is really smart. To express my apology, my princess has prepared a dance. I hope you all like it."
The emperor felt much better. He glanced at Si Moli and then nodded to the envoy.
The little princess, who had been silent all this time, walked to the stage. She was wearing a special crimson dance dress, which made her skin even whiter. Her silk and bamboo legs stood up, and she danced with a neat spin, and her dress flew up and down gracefully.
Her figure is fully exposed, and the sound of the bells between her ankles is ethereal and sweet, giving her a unique style.
After the dance ended, she knelt down and saluted. When she raised her head, her eyes were fiery and bold, and she said in a clear voice: "Wusun Ya has a wish. I wonder if I can ask the emperor to marry Ya'er today?"
Although they knew that the princess of Northern Li Kingdom must be here to get married, she was so straightforward that everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all came back to their senses from the beautiful dance just now.
The emperor smiled loudly and said: "The princess is very passionate, but I don't know which young talent the princess has fallen in love with?"
Shen Qingyun's brows twitched, and an ominous feeling emerged.
There's no way Pearl's crow's mouth really got it right.
But when Wusunya's face turned red, she was a little embarrassed and her voice lowered: "Wusunya kindly asks the emperor to arrange a marriage between me and General Xiao Jue."
Shen Qingyun looked at Xiao Jue in surprise. Not only her, but many people also showed doubtful expressions.
I thought that this Wusunya would definitely ask for a prince to be married to, but I didn't expect that she would actually like Xiao Jue!
After all, Xiao Jue is now in his thirties or forties, but Wusunya is only a teenager, so Xiao Jue is much older than her.
The emperor also looked hesitant.
Seeing this and fearing that the emperor would not agree, Wusun Ya hurriedly said: "Ya'er has seen General Xiao Jue's valiant and heroic appearance, so she admires him and just wants to marry him. I hope the emperor will make it happen."
Xiao Jue's face was ashen, he never thought that this unexpected disaster would happen to him.
Han Rou's body was looking good. He was planning to propose marriage to the emperor in the next few days. Who knew that this princess would jump out halfway?
He stood up directly, walked to the emperor, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the age difference between the minister and the princess is too big, it is really inappropriate. The princess is still young and impulsive. I hope the emperor will choose a good son-in-law for her."
Wusunya didn't expect that Xiao Jue would openly reject her, so she stood up directly and said to Xiao Jue: "General Xiao, Ya'er sincerely loves you, it's not some impulsive thing."
She was originally a admirer of Qiang, and had long heard of Xiao Jue's name. She also heard others say that Xiao Jue had never had a wife or concubine, unlike her father and brother who had many wives and concubines, so she was very curious about him. Later, she Sneaking out, I once saw Xiao Jue riding on a war horse from a distance, with a heroic appearance, and my heart suddenly moved.
She didn't have to come to the wedding this time, but thinking of Xiao Jue, she came in her sister's stead.
Shouldn't men all like younger people? How come he, Xiao Jue, still doesn't like him when he is pretty and beautiful? It's impossible!
Some complicated emotions flashed through the emperor's eyes: "Princess, forceful melons are not sweet. Since General Xiao is unwilling, forcing marriage will only lead to a resentful couple. Let's discuss it another day. The princess can stay in Kyoto longer. Maybe you can find someone more suitable in the future."
Wusunya was furious. She suppressed the feeling of humiliation in her heart, turned to Xiao Jue and said without giving up: "General Xiao, I'm not familiar with Kyoto. I hope the general can take me around."
She didn't believe that Xiao Jue would reject her if she had more contact with him.
But Xiao Jue didn't even look at her: "I have official duties, so the princess should find someone else."
Wusunya still wanted to entangle her, so Wusunang took her away. Everyone joked and dismissed the matter.
When the palace banquet was over, Xiao Jue found Shen Qingyun anxiously: "Qingyun, don't misunderstand me. I have no acquaintance with that princess. You have to help me talk to your mother."
Shen Qingyun nodded in amusement.
When Wusunya saw Xiao Jue actually talking to a beautiful woman, she felt jealous and bumped into Shen Qingyun when she passed her.
The handkerchief fell to the ground. Shen Qingyun frowned and was about to bend down to pick it up when a pair of hands picked up the handkerchief and returned it to her.
He was an envoy from the Northern Li Kingdom and happened to be following Wusunya at the end of his team.
"Thank you." Shen Qingyun thanked her politely.
