Chapter 184: Marrying the Princess (17)
"Mother."
"My son is back, how is your sister?"
"Sister and the others are all fine."
"That's good."
Looking at Gu Yuxi, Princess Changning said directly: "Xi'er, Dongli is in danger now, and your mother can't protect you anymore. I think the young master of Anding Marquis's Mansion..."
"Mother, you also said that Dongli is in danger. If this place is harvested again, will there still be Dongli? The palace has sent a message that the girls of the official family who are of marriageable age and have not yet been arranged to marry cannot get married in the next few months."
"My poor daughter, I hope those people know that you have a bad reputation and stay away from you. I don't want you to marry those barbarians."
"Mother, if I am unlucky and am sent to marry, you should take care of yourself in Kyoto. I will come back to pick you up in the future."
"There are only a few women who come back for marriage. If you marry, it will be many years later. Mother can't bear to let you go."
"I know mother is worried, but I don't like the young master. He ruins my reputation everywhere. If I enter the Marquis's mansion, I have a bad temper, and the mistress of the Anding Marquis's mansion is not an easy person to deal with."
"Eh! Never mind. His Majesty is hosting a banquet to entertain envoys from other countries. You just need to go and do the ceremony tomorrow."
"I know what to do."
The next day, Gu Yuxi was woken up early in the morning. This was the nth time this had happened!
Cuihong: "Princess, those people are just eating and drinking, forget it, we don't want to go."
"This is not something I can decide. Keep it simple. It's too much of a headache for me."
"It looks so good, no need to tear it down."
"Liu Xiang."
"My Lord, it's not good to be disrespectful in front of the palace, isn't it?"
"It's not the first or second time. Please let me go. My mother won't blame you anyway."
When she arrived at the palace, Gu Yuxi listened to those people speaking words she could not understand, and she felt more and more sleepy.
Sheng Baru stretched out his hand and waved it in front of He Tuchi. The other party withdrew the hand that was supporting his chin, raised it up, and slapped the annoying hand.
"Don't let anything happen to you."
"I see. If you want to marry that fierce woman, I have never lost with my three-inch-long tongue."
Seeing that Hetuchi's eyes were fixed on the man who fell on the table, the envoys from Hejiang felt that their master was seriously ill.
They had found out clearly yesterday that this fierce princess was not easy to deal with and had a bad reputation. Their master was indeed powerful and he took a liking to someone different at first sight.
"Princess Qingcheng is here."
I saw a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes walking slowly towards me. The envoys from other countries looked at her as if they were examining a commodity.
He Tuchi frowned: This woman has bad legs and feet. Just now Xier only walked a dozen steps to get there, but she has to walk dozens of steps.
After Li Qingcheng came in, her eyes were fixed on the envoy from the Xili Kingdom. She wanted to marry Meng Heyun, and all the misunderstandings were resolved, so why didn't he come to see her.
She had provided the other party with a lot of information over the years. He said he would send an envoy to propose marriage, and she finally waited for it.
"This is the talented girl from Dongli. She is really a clever person."
"This kind of woman has not yet been married off. It seems that we have come to the right place this time."
"This is the daughter of King Xiaoyao, Princess Li Qingcheng. She is good at singing and dancing, and her dance moves the capital."
"But there is one princess who is in stark contrast to her. She is the youngest daughter of Princess Changning. She usually only cares about making friends with merchants, and likes to use abacus and do carpentry work. In short, she doesn't do anything a girl should do."
After receiving He Tuchi's instructions, Sheng Baru immediately retorted: "You can't judge what she is like with just one sentence. If it were me, Princess Yuxi is the unparalleled woman in the world."
"Yes! You just follow what others say."
Seeing that there was someone with a special vision in the marriage team, they all looked over, and someone said sarcastically: "Oh! What do you think of the Hejiang envoy?"
“I can’t say that I have a profound opinion, but I am just sharing my personal views. Princess Yuxi is an excellent cook, and she has opened restaurants and snack shops in many places. It is natural for her to make friends with merchants in this business.
She can make ingenious tools, no worse than those men who can only give blind orders; she can brew the purest wine, of excellent quality, and priceless.
Princess Yuxi is a student of the daughter of the seasonal governor, but I don’t think she is as unlearned and unwomanly as you say.”
"Hejiang envoys, it seems that you like this princess very much. Don't look at the others. This princess has a bad temper. It's no problem for her to kill a wild boar with one punch. If you ask this woman for your Khan..."
"Hahaha!"
The others knew what that person meant and couldn't help laughing, while also telling some funny stories they had heard.
"A year ago, the Miao envoy came to Dongli and saw a pretty princess. He wanted to marry her, but the princess said that the man who wanted to marry her could not take concubines in his lifetime, otherwise it would be a waste of time."
"Forget it. Rumor has it that she likes to raise insects. That's disgusting."
Sheng Baru and others looked at the woman. She raised her head, looked at those people, and then curled the corners of her lips slightly.
He Tuchi said directly: "That's because you are short-sighted. The women in our Hejiang can fight in battle. You will never meet such a female general. She can kill a wild boar with one punch. Can you? I'm afraid you are not even as good as a little girl."
"you……"
The man stood up and pointed at Sheng Baru and the others and said, "Hejiang envoy, you are making indirect accusations!"
"Did I curse you? I just asked if you could kill a wild boar with one punch? But you said I cursed you. Everyone was watching. Where did you come from? It's really shameful."
"When did I say I couldn't?"
"That's good. Use your energy elsewhere, like killing a wild boar, instead of gossiping like those gossipers."
"Hahaha! You are saying nice things to someone here, but he is ignoring you. He was just sleeping soundly on the table."
Li Qingcheng walked over and asked gently: "Cousin, this banquet is very important, how can you sleep?"
Gu Yuxi glanced at Li Qingcheng and said calmly: "It's not like we haven't slept together before."
"you!"
"This princess is really annoying. She has no manners at all."
"Princess Qingcheng is talking to her!"
"You're almost sixteen and still can't get married. It's really shameful."
Looking at Gu Yuxi's cold face, Li Qingcheng said sympathetically: "Cousin, those envoys don't know you, don't be angry."
"Are they worthy of my anger?" Gu Yuxi looked at the man and said directly, "You are an envoy who has come from afar. Is your upbringing enough to make fun of a woman in front of everyone?
I am almost sixteen, but Princess Qingcheng is already sixteen. Isn't it more embarrassing for her to be unmarried than for me? Besides, the whole Dongli knows that Princess Qingcheng and I are at odds. Why?
Of course, Princess Qingcheng didn’t want to marry the extinct tribe, so her ex-fiancé blackmailed me into marrying her instead.”
"Cousin, why do you say that to me?"
"Why can't you tell me? Although you and Young Master Wei have completely cut off contact because of this incident, who knows if it's really cut off?"
