Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 54 Your Highness is so beautiful

Prince Jin and Princess Jinyang were seated next to each other. Wu Rou sat in the middle. When she turned around, she saw Prince Jin's indifferent profile, as if he didn't want to talk to her.

Wu Rou asked him knowingly and deliberately teased him: "...Why does His Highness's face turn dark again?"

Princess Jinyang leaned forward, looked at King Jin, then turned to Wu Rou and said:

"It's okay. My brother is always like this. He can't deal with others at all times."

When King Jin heard this, he turned around and sneered slightly. His expression was not obvious, but he had a light and airy feeling, but the sarcasm was not reduced at all, and said:

"I never ignore people for no reason. Of course, some people do things that I hate. I don't like to care about others. Is it wrong to ignore people?"

Princess Jinyang smiled flatteringly at him and said:
"Brother is right, hehe..."

As soon as she finished coaxing her words, she said to Wu Rou again:

"Don't pay attention to him. He has ignored you several times. Why doesn't he always turn around and forget about you?... Try this, it's delicious."

Wu Rou looked at Princess Jinyang's big smiling eyes and thought she was extremely cute. She hugged her directly, rubbed her hair affectionately and lovingly, and said:

"Oh, why is our Princess Jinyang so annoying? I really hope I can have a daughter like you in the future."

When King Jin heard this, he looked sideways, his eyes staring at Wu Rou with a cold light.

Princess Jinyang felt Wu Rou's embrace, and the sense of security wrapped in love made her feel so warm that she wanted to cry, as if she had really returned to her childhood, being held by her mother-in-law.

She raised her head, looked at Wu Rou's expression, and asked cautiously:
"Then if you have a daughter, will you still like me so much?"

Wu Rou looked at her worried eyes, her heart almost melted, she hugged her and said with certainty:

"Yes! No one can replace the princess's place in my heart. Besides...your father doesn't like me, so I might never have children in my life, so don't worry."

Princess Jinyang laughed when she heard this and said happily:

"It's okay... If you don't have children, I will be your child."

"Rhino! What nonsense are you talking about?!" King Jin was angry, Qing Jun's brows were furrowed tightly, and his eyelids were darker than usual.

After saying that, he quickly glanced at the emperor sitting there, fearing that his loud voice would disturb someone, but luckily there was music playing in the room, so no one paid attention.

At that moment, Wu Rou suddenly thought, ah, when he was usually gentle, he looked more like Empress Changsun, with a somewhat otherworldly and divine look. Now when he was angry, his expression looked more like His Majesty's.

Princess Jinyang tightened her mouth cutely, as if she had done something wrong, she looked at him pitifully and did not dare to say a word.

Wu Rou saw that the stalemate was deadlocked, so she blinked her eyes and tried to change the subject, saying:

"Your Highness... Wu Rou has something unclear. Why was the Tubo envoy so happy just now? It was as if he wanted to marry the princess."

King Jin glanced at her with dissatisfaction, and then looked at his sister. Seeing Princess Jinyang leaning next to Wu Rou with a pitiful and aggrieved look, he softened his heart again, feeling that he had been too cruel just now.not too good.

So he breathed out, glanced at Wu Rou, then withdrew his gaze, looked at the field and said lightly:

"He has been in Chang'an City for more than two years. In the past two years, he has been doing nothing but looking for various opportunities to beg his father to agree to a marriage.

If he fails to do it again, the ruler of Tibet should punish him for his incompetence.Do you think he is happy or not? "

At this time, Princess Jinyang excitedly interjected:
"I know, I know. Once I heard a minister tell my father that everyone in Honglu Temple was familiar with him. Seeing that he was looking for someone to send messages to my father every day, I said that I would introduce him to a person from the Tang Dynasty. He wanted a woman to be his wife, which would save him the anxiety of staying in Chang'an City.

He was still unwilling, saying that the leader of his family had not married yet, and he would never marry her.His father also praised him at that time, saying that he was determined and perseverant. "

King Jin smiled helplessly when he saw his sister so happy.

At this time, the performance in the middle of the field was over, and the music slaves left the field with their pipa. Baekje's envoy suddenly walked up from his seat, stood at the steps of the front court, and said loudly with a strange accent:

"Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty is superb in martial arts and is the God of War of the Tang Dynasty. Foreign ministers have heard many legends about your Majesty and are really filled with admiration. I wish I had been born a few years earlier and followed you in the Tang Dynasty so that I could see your majesty's heroic appearance with my own eyes."

The Baekje envoy was young and had a naive and foolish smile, but his appearance was good, even if he was flattering, he would not be annoying.

The emperor smiled, accepted his flattery naturally, and said calmly:

"I do have some abilities, but the God of War doesn't count. I have superb martial arts skills in the Tang Dynasty and have many generals who can lead troops to fight. It doesn't matter."

When the Baekje envoy heard this, he bowed and saluted again:
"Your Majesty, the foreign minister has the courage to make a request. The foreign minister has finally seen your majesty in person and wants to witness your majesty's martial arts.

Hearing that His Highness the Crown Prince's martial arts skills are also very good, and that he has won the true inheritance from His Majesty, the foreign minister thought that if His Highness the Crown Prince could condescend to compete with our masters from Baekje, it would also open our eyes. "

The lively banquet suddenly became quiet... Everyone looked at the prince next to the emperor, showing expressions of compassion, sympathy and secrecy.

The prince, who had been depressed, suddenly saw everyone's eyes falling on him. The hand he placed on the knee of the injured leg suddenly tightened, and his clothes wrinkled into a ball. He looked at Baekje with a stern look. Envoy.The Baekje envoy finally felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He saw the emperor's sharp eagle eyebrows flying up, his phoenix eyes getting deeper and deeper, and he just stared at him without speaking.

He felt a danger of imminent extinction, and quickly knelt down and asked tremblingly:

"What...what's wrong?...The foreign minister has just arrived and doesn't understand anything. If there is any offense, please forgive me."

The emperor's penetrating gaze swept across the field, and the officials and envoys who were swept away felt their hearts shudder. They only heard him ask angrily:

"Who encouraged you to say that?"

"Who...who?...No...no one." Seeing sweat on his head, the Baekje envoy began to tremble and stammered when speaking.

King Jin looked at the prince worriedly and saw that the prince's lips were tightened and he gritted his teeth forbearingly. Although his expression was tough, his eyes flickered uneasily.

King Jin felt a sadness in his heart and thought: This matter must pass, so it cannot be regarded as a taboo or a mistake.

Face it, ignore it, and get used to it!Even one day, when he can joke about his injured foot, it will be truly over!

Thinking of this, King Jin, who never took the initiative to fight for anything, suddenly stood up from his seat and said in a gentle and calm tone:

"It's not a big deal. The prince's brother has been sick recently and is not feeling well. How about I take over for him? My martial arts was taught by the prince. Although it is not as good as his case, it is enough fun for you to see."

His voice seemed to have a soothing magic power, and the tense and oppressive atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed.

The Baekje envoy had already seen this good-looking young man. When he saw him standing up, with his clear facial features, thick black hair, and his chin slightly raised when he spoke, he was noble and gentle, and he suddenly felt like he had received a life-saving straw. Same, he said continuously:

"Thank you...thank you, His Highness King Jin."

The emperor's sharp and deep brows gradually relaxed. He turned his face to look at the prince, and saw that the prince's expression was also very calm.

He glanced at King Jin with relief and raised his hand helplessly to signal the start.

The chamberlain quickly sent someone to fetch two wooden swords for practice, and handed them to King Jin and the master of the Baekje envoy respectively.

The master of the Baekje envoy is also a young man, but he is an adult after all, and the King of Jin stands with him like a child.

No, he is not yet 14 years old, he is still a child!
Wu Rou saw that he was holding a sword. Although he still looked dignified and calm, like a fairy boy who had achieved enlightenment, and his aura was not inferior at all, she still couldn't help but worry and asked in a low voice:

"Can His Highness Prince Jin do it?...The other party is so much older than him."

Princess Jinyang also seemed a little nervous. She thought about it seriously and said:

"My brother is serious about whatever he studies, but he doesn't like to show off..."

She paused and said as if to increase her confidence:
"Father even praised him."

At this time, the action on the field had already begun. The Baekje masters seemed to be afraid to take action because King Jin was young and he was a prince.

He swung the sword lightly with his first hand, and it was a decent sword. Unexpectedly, King Jin looked gentle and restrained. When he used his sword to block it, he used all his strength, twitched his backhand, and knocked the opponent's sword away with a "clop" sound. The long arm stabbed him with one finger, frightening the Baekje master to take a step back and switch from attack to defense.

He no longer dared to be careless, and used all his strength in his moves as soon as he saw it, fighting King Jin as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

The two of them went back and forth, exchanging offense and defense from time to time, each gaining the upper hand.

It's just that King Jin's moves are smart, and the hair tie on his head flows elegantly with his body, giving him a sense of ease and ease.

The Baekje master on the opposite side had simple, arrogant and rude moves, and looked very powerful and domineering, but he was able to be deflected every time by King Jin's clever strength.

Seeing that the Baekje master was anxious, he shouted out when he made a move. King Jin turned sideways to avoid his chop, slapped his wrist with one hand, pushed away the attack, and put the sword on his neck with the other hand. between.

He glanced at the Baekje master and saw that he was looking at him in disbelief. He seemed to be less arrogant than before, so he slowly retracted his palm and sword and said gently and calmly:
"It's just a discussion, don't take it seriously, thank you brave man for letting me go."

One of the Baekje envoys quickly translated for him.

When the Baekje master heard this, his face turned red with embarrassment, but he bowed his head with sincerity and bowed to King Jin.

Everyone clapped and applauded.

King Jin didn't say anything, and handed the wooden sword directly to the eunuch who came over. He calmly walked back to his seat and sat down, while the palace maid cleaned his hands.

Wu Rou looked at his calm and gentle side face, her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes were filled with excitement.

While applauding, she boldly said to King Jin:

"Your Highness is so beautiful. There is no one better looking than you among your peers!"
