It was similar to the last banquet, except that there were some unfamiliar faces.

Frontier people with beards, islanders with brown eyes, and people with the same appearance and skin color as the Ming Dynasty.

They were all dressed in their traditional attire, and they were sitting there looking around, pointing their fingers, and seemed to be choosing candidates for marriage.

Very good, I didn't see foreigners with big noses and blue eyes, nor did I see short Japanese pirates with single eyelids.

This made her feel more comfortable, but when she found that several people were staring at Ling'er with lewd eyes, she immediately became angry.

It's normal for a gentle lady to look good, but who is disgusting with this kind of look?

Qiao Mai's spiritual force without making a sound directly rushed towards the man's eyes without screaming, but the eyes of those men staring at Ling'er, for some reason, became more and more blurred.

No matter how they rub it, they just can't see clearly, as if they are highly myopic.

At this time the emperor came with his concubines, the concubine was high above her, she saw Qiao Mai at a glance, nodded and smiled at her.

Qiao Mai also smiled at her, and the courtiers and envoys present all stood up and saluted.

Today is a banquet to choose a spouse for the young men and women of both sides. They have already had a formal conversation before, so I didn't talk so much today.

As soon as the emperor came, it was natural to set up a meal, sing and dance.

On such an occasion, performances are unavoidable. The four princesses of the envoys performed dances and pianos, and the four men performed their swordsmanship, stick technique, knife technique and hidden weapons.

The emperor watched quietly from above, and whispered to the imperial concubine from time to time.

An envoy stood up and bowed towards the emperor.

"Your Majesty, why didn't Princess Jiamei, Minister Yuan Haichuan, and his sister Princess Tianshui not show their talents?"

"They are not within the scope of this marriage?"

"Why?"

The emperor is a little upset, so you don't even need to ask, you don't have ears to ask? Playing stupid on purpose?

"Jia Mei is Hai Chuan's fiancée"

"So that's the case, where is Princess Water that day?"

"I promised Prince Fu that Princess Tianshui's marriage will be decided by herself."

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince of our country fell in love with Princess Tianshui at first sight, and I hope His Majesty will make it happen?"

The emperor looked at Ling'er, "Master Tianshui, what do you think?"

Ling'er stood up, straightened her back, "Your Majesty, Tianshui is not willing,"

"Why?"

"These envoys are impolite and uneducated. The defeated country went to the victorious country to show off their power. Presumably they treated the people as slaves in their own country. I am the princess of the Ming Dynasty, so I naturally despise the behavior of these smugglers. Anyone who loves marriage will marry, anyway, this princess will not marry."

Let her say this, all those girls who wanted to marry the princes of other countries bowed their heads.

The messenger smiled, "Princess, I think you misunderstood. The previous incident was a joke caused by a language barrier, and it never happened again."

"Hmph, then the princess is not willing, and the two countries can be friendly through marriage? You don't want to look at our country? I, Qiao Wanling, the person I marry must like me, and I must treat me like my father treats my mother. You don't do anything. occupy."

The envoy looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty?"

"I can't help it. I am the king of a country. What I promise will not be changed."

Yuan Jiaqi stood up, "Your Majesty, you are a Mingjun, and you will never do anything like a robber. It is a marriage, so you have to be willing. Please give them the opportunity to choose freely. Whether they succeed or not depends on fate. What do you think?"

"Haha, of course, Buddhism emphasizes fate. People who have no fate, even if they get together, will separate sooner or later."

"Your Majesty" the envoys of the four countries stood up at the same time

"The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. The king makes the minister die and the minister has to die. As the king of a country, can't you even decide the marriage of your ministers?"

"Oh, no, I seldom give marriages. I believe in Buddha, I believe in God, and I believe that twisted melons are not sweet. Although I am the king of Ming Dynasty, I am not the king of the world. I also want to accumulate virtue, and I don't want to be that wicked If you don’t do immoral things, you can’t be the king of a country?”

Damn, this old emperor, how come he speaks like this, but the courtiers really like it.

The envoy was silenced by the emperor, and Lord Zhen stood up at this moment, "A defeated country, what face does it have to come to our country to choose a husband, it should be to dedicate these princesses to our country"

Many ministers co-authored, "That is, for the defeated country, it would be good if you don't let you pay tribute. Why do you come to our country to pick people?"

A banquet turned into a denunciation, the emperor sat on it and watched with a smile, indulging his courtiers to make a fuss.

The envoys seemed to have entered a dead end, their mouths were full of shame, and they didn't know what to say.

The emperor saw that he was almost there, so he opened his mouth.

"Okay, the war between the two countries doesn't have to be executed, it's almost enough. These princesses who came to our country, who do you like?"

The faces of the princesses were quite ugly, and they whispered to people from their own country.

"Your Majesty, the princess of the Great Qin Dynasty, is willing to marry the second son of the King of Chu as a concubine. Please do so!"

The eyes in the back room flickered, and he looked at the king of Chu, "Is the second child engaged?"

"not yet,"

"Okay, that's it."

King Chu's expression changed, he looked at the second child, gritted his teeth, and whispered.

"Father is going to wrong you?"

"Son doesn't care, just follow father's arrangement"

They all knew in their hearts that if they married a princess from an enemy country, there would be only one end, and they would be isolated, but as members of the royal family, they couldn't escape the marriage.

The other three princesses were selected as members of the royal family, so they were going to enter the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor cursed secretly in his heart, dog is hot, you go dreaming sweet dreams, I won't let you wish, wait for a few years, when I am strong, I will demote all of you princesses into concubines, so that you can't get up. snort.

In fact, he is still afraid of these people. After all, if the four countries join forces, his chances of winning are almost zero.

After the selection of the princess is over, he will be the prince. Originally, there were many daughters of courtiers who were willing to marry as concubines, but after hearing Linger's words, they all backed down.

Even a girl didn't stand up, and the marriage suddenly became one-sided.

The four envoys had no choice but to propose marriage to the emperor, but all of them were rejected. No matter whether they loved their girls or not, as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, who would want their daughters to marry into a defeated country?

Isn't that just letting others ravage it? But I can't go, how can I look up after losing my old face?

At this time, the second prince of the Great Qin Kingdom stepped forward, "Your Majesty, if Princess Tianshui is willing to marry this prince, our country is willing to give up the five border cities, do you think?"

The emperor's heart was moved when he heard it, and Lord Zhen stood up at this moment, "How can we men live in the future by exchanging women for the city? We want to have us soldiers in the city, and we don't need Princess Tianshui."

"That's right, we don't need women in the city, we want the city, and we need to fight it ourselves"

"Hmph, that would kill a lot of people."

"Exchanging a woman for a city, how can we men in the Daming Imperial City look up, and we can feel at ease when we exchange our own blood and life for the city."

"That's right, that's right, don't come here, we won't eat it"

The emperor, who was so excited, stopped eating immediately. He secretly looked at Qiao Mai, and saw that she was drinking wine calmly, showing no sign of getting angry.

Now he felt relieved, for some reason, he touched her from the heart.

Because he still can't figure out her details, she is too mysterious, is it a trick, or is she just picking things up from a distance?

Before he figured it out, he'd better not offend her.

The second prince gritted his teeth and drank it out. There are women in this world that he wants and can't get.

"How about the ten cities?"

The emperor's hands trembled a little, "Let's forget it, compared to the city, my promise is the most important."

The girl that the Great Qin Dynasty could not exchange for ten cities suddenly became the focus, and all the girls stared at Ling'er jealously.
