Chapter 136
"My Majesty, in Nanzhao Kingdom, after a woman reaches the first rank, she has reached the age of marriage. The minister is not yet married, and I want to ask the emperor to marry me!"
She Zi is worthy of being a princess of a foreign country, a man of high art and boldness, this is the first time everyone has seen a woman who was given a marriage for herself at a palace banquet.
Even Xie Lingyun admired her courage, she was able to say such a thing regardless of everyone's eyes, this princess of Nanzhao Kingdom is really extraordinary.
After all, Gu Sheng is well-informed, his face didn't even change, and he said with a smile: "Oh? Then do you have someone in mind?"
She Zi smiled shyly, and then, under everyone's expectant eyes, slowly looked at Gu Xingzhi, "When the minister was in Nanzhao Kingdom, she had already admired His Royal Highness King Jin. For His Royal Highness King Jin who was in Datong I am especially admirable for your act of disaster relief, and I hope the emperor can make it come true!"
When this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked!
Lu Wanyin subconsciously looked at Xie Lingyun, wanting to know her reaction.It's a pity that Xie Lingyun's face was normal, and she even showed a faint smile, showing no signs of being affected at all.
This made Lu Wanyin a little puzzled, did the princess change his mind?Or is she confident?
Others were also looking at Princess Huai's reaction. After all, everyone in Yanjing knew that this princess had also fallen in love with Gu Xingzhi.Now that the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom was born out of nowhere, is Princess Huai going to give it up like this?
People who watch the excitement will never think that it is a big deal. Gu Sheng obviously did not expect that this princess of Nanzhao Kingdom dared to be so outspoken. Now she is asking for a marriage in public. The princess's face hurts the harmony between the two countries even more.
However, Gu Xingzhi is the prince of the banquet, and he has just been conferred the title of King Jin. No matter what, he cannot marry a foreign woman as his concubine.This is something that has never happened in the history of the banquet, and it cannot set a precedent for him.
"Princess Six, you have created a problem for me..." Gu Sheng joked with a smile, and did not answer the matter with a serious attitude, "My son is very popular recently, if you want him, then I can't make decisions hastily. Otherwise, all the noble ladies in Yanjing City will blame me behind their backs!"
She Zi asked in bewilderment, "Why is that? Is there something that the emperor can't decide?"
From her point of view, Gu Sheng is the boss of the banquet, so naturally others will do what he says.That's why she wanted to ask for a marriage order. In this way, no matter whether Gu Xingzhi is willing or not, he will not be able to refuse this matter at that time.
Although my brother said that there has never been a foreign woman as a princess in the banquet, but she doesn't care about these false titles. As long as she can get married, is there no way to make a man fall in love with her?At that time, what does it matter if she is a concubine or not?
She Zi was born in Nanzhao Kingdom, and his thoughts are completely different from those of the closed and conservative grand banquet ladies.Her directness is not annoying, even Gu Sheng didn't feel offended.Instead, he thought carefully for a while before answering:
"I can make the decision, but the most important thing in this kind of thing is to be happy with each other. I don't want to cause any resentment because of the gift of marriage..."
Although Gu Sheng said this with a smile, his meaning was very firm. It would be impossible for him to give the marriage directly.Even if he hadn't considered Gu Xingzhi's status as a prince, he would not have granted the marriage hastily.
After all, once the imperial decree is issued, that is, once Jinkou is opened, there is no room for repentance.
Even the emperor hopes that his gift of marriage is to make the lovers get married, not to become a pair of resentful spouses.
She Zi seemed to understand, but she still heard that the emperor of the banquet was not willing to give her a marriage, and she was not willing to let her marry Gu Xingzhi.But it's nothing, they had already expected this situation before they came, so they didn't feel flustered.
"Since the emperor said that there are many noble women in this banquet capital who are devoted to King Jin, the courtier is willing to compete with them one by one. If I lose, I will go back to Nanzhao with my brother and never mention this again!"
She Zi's words directly turned this palace banquet into a contest to recruit relatives.It's just that, while others are recruiting relatives by martial arts, she is choosing a son-in-law by martial arts.Gu Sheng was a little interested, "Oh? What do you want to compare?"
Recently, Gu Xingzhi's marriage has also become a headache for Gu Sheng.Those ministers, overtly and secretly, did not know how many times they tried to get him to marry Gu Xingzhi as soon as possible.After all, the involvement behind this marriage is related to the future situation, and everyone is eyeing and unwilling to let it go.
Now there is another princess from Nanzhao Kingdom. Although he doesn't know the real plan of Nanzhao Kingdom's move, Gu Sheng feels that maybe this is an opportunity to break the deadlock!
"I heard that the noble ladies at the banquet are all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so it's natural to compare them. However, His Royal Highness Jin Wang has both civil and military skills, so naturally a brave woman is worthy of him, so he has to compete with me in martial arts !"
As soon as She Zi's voice fell, everyone couldn't wait to discuss it.This is better than trying piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, after all, any daughter can come up with one or two pieces to show off.But what is going on with this martial arts competition?
Do you still have to use knives and guns?
"Absurd, simply absurd!"
"Princess Six, this is not the Nanzhao Kingdom. What a group of women look like beating and killing people is simply insulting!"
For the martial arts competition, the ministers present were very opposed.Faced with the accusations, Shezi was steady and asked, "Can't women wield swords and guns? In ancient times, there were female generals who defended their homes and the country. Isn't that also degrading? "
She was articulate and quick to respond, which made the minister speechless.Even Xie Lingyun admired her courage, not to mention other things, just this bravery in the face of danger has already surpassed too many people.
"Okay, I'll compare with you!"
When everyone was arguing endlessly, Xie Lingyun took the initiative to stand up.She bowed to Gu Sheng, then looked at She Zi, and said with a smile: "The emperor said just now that you are not the only one who falls in love with His Royal Highness Prince Jin. Unfortunately, this princess is also one of them."
"This silly girl..."
Xie Jingzhang covered his eyes, unable to bear to look directly.When he just heard She Zi's proposal, he was worried that Xie Lingyun would be impulsive.This time, not only impulsive, but also directly impulsive, and stood up by himself!
But that's fine, we can't really let the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom control the initiative all the time.The emperor had already spoken just now, if no one stood up, this matter would really not end well.So it was appropriate for Xie Lingyun to come out at this time.
No, even the emperor's expression looks a lot better, but he is still a little worried. After all, he has never heard that Xie Lingyun is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting... let alone martial arts. The pampered Princess Huai can't even hold a sword. to compare?
If they lose, not only will they have to make a pair of resentful couples, but the face of the banquet will also be dishonored.
Gu Sheng was caught in a tangle, but he couldn't go back on his word now, otherwise Nanzhao would think that they didn't even have the confidence in the banquet.So, after thinking for a while, he said, "Since it is a temporary proposal, there are still many details that need to be discussed carefully."
He coughed lightly, and clicked on the metaphor, "Master Ming, I will leave this matter to you."
