After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Chapter 61 Princess Anping chooses a horse

The imperial concubine screamed, and the eyes that fell on her hurriedly moved away, for fear of being blamed by Emperor Nanchen.

Concubine Jing, who was sitting next to Emperor Nanchen, hurriedly took a cloak and trotted down from the high platform.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Concubine Jing covered the imperial concubine's exposed skin with her cloak, her eyes filled with concern.

"Go away, this noble concubine doesn't need your fake kindness. Are you happy to see me making a fool of myself?"

Concubine Jing was unprepared and was pushed directly to the ground.

"Oh, sister, did I do something wrong? Don't be angry. I'm just worried about you."

Emperor Nanchen slapped the table angrily, "Come here, take the noble concubine down. Concubine Jing, come to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Concubine Jing obediently returned to Emperor Nanchen and thoughtfully helped him to be at ease.

The imperial concubine who was taken down felt her heart sink suddenly. She had made a miscalculation today and was actually plotted by these bitches.

After the imperial concubine was taken down, someone quickly came forward to bandage Gongsun Qiao's wound.

Because he hid in time, the wound was not deep and there would be no scar.

Chu Wangchen was concerned for a while, and then sighed.

"Your Majesty Nanchen, the sword has no eyes. Please don't let Concubine Zhou dance with the sword in the future."

Emperor Nanchen was already a little dissatisfied with the imperial concubine, but now that he heard Chu Wangchen say this, he felt even more humiliated.

"Prince Wangchen is right, women should be gentle and obedient.

Okay, let’s continue the feast. "

"Your Majesty Nanchen, it's very late, and I plan to reveal the third gift."

"Oh, Prince Nanchen, please speak."

Everyone else also pricked up their ears, very curious about what this third gift was.

Chu Wangchen coughed and then looked at Gongsun Qiao.

"Actually, we are here not only to meet His Majesty Nanchen, but also to get married."

As soon as the word "marriage" came out, it immediately caused huge waves in everyone's hearts.

In order to maintain peace between the two countries, marriage is undoubtedly the best way, but the choice of the marriage partner is very important.

The better the marriage partner is chosen, the stronger the marriage relationship between the two countries will be.

What Emperor Nanchen likes most is peace. As long as there is no war, he can make many concessions.

"Is Prince Wangchen planning to choose a princess from Nanchen?"

If this is the case, Emperor Nanchen couldn't help but feel a little worried. He didn't have many heirs. Although he had a few princesses, the older ones all died in infancy, and the surviving ones were too young.

But there is always a way. No matter who Chu Wangchen falls in love with, he will just recognize her as the princess.

The ministers also had their own guesses and plans in their minds.

Chu Wangchen waited until everyone had finished talking, then smiled and said.

"The main purpose of this time is to find a harmonious marriage for Princess Anping. Of course, if I meet the person I like, I will definitely use my position as Crown Princess to propose marriage."

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the ladies from the aristocratic families present could no longer calm down.

Although Chu Wangchen was in poor health, he was good-looking and had a high status. In fact, it seemed possible to marry him.

Some young masters from aristocratic families couldn't calm down anymore. Although Gongsun Qiao was only a princess, she was favored by Emperor Dongzhou. Even compared with the princess, her treatment was not bad.

What's more, she is beautiful and has a good figure, and the whip she just danced was even more beautiful.

Usually they are used to seeing weak beauties, but here comes someone who is good-looking and good at martial arts. They really like it. However, most of the sons of aristocratic families who have these ideas are the bastards or the unfavored second sons in the family.

Although they are men, they will become stepping stones for legitimate children in the future.

Rather than being accused of an unsatisfactory marriage, it is better to be Princess Shang. At least her status is much nobler.

The Nanchen Kingdom's concubine system is very strict. A concubine cannot marry a concubine unless there are special circumstances.

Feeling the various gazes falling on her, Gongsun Qiao's pretty face became a little tense.

Judging from her tight grip on the whip, it seemed that the marriage was not of her own free will.

Emperor Nanchen laughed happily.

"Prince Wangchen, our Nanchen's son is very good. Princess Anping can choose her at will. No matter who she likes, I can make the decision."

As soon as these words came out, many young men who didn't want to become a county horse became anxious, silently praying in their hearts that she would never fall in love with them.

Chu Wangchen expressed his thanks, "Thank you very much. We are here with sincerity this time. If Anping can find a good match in Nanchen, Dongzhou will offer five cities as a dowry."

Emperor Nanchen didn't expect such an unexpected surprise. They were five cities. The dowry was too arrogant. Emperor Dongzhou must have doted on the princess too much.

Of course, some people don't think so. When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Why does Dongzhou Kingdom make such a big concession?

As an emperor, it is okay for him to pamper his niece, but he should not use the country as a dowry.

Seemingly seeing the doubts in some people's eyes, Chu Wangchen spoke up to clarify their doubts.

"The reason why my father gave such an expensive dowry was because he hoped that Princess Anping would not be bullied when she married."

These words made the legitimate sons and daughters also moved. It turned out that they were not marrying into the bride, but Princess Anping was marrying her. Then there would be no regrets about this marriage.

Emperor Nanchen was also full of pride. Dongzhou Kingdom was willing to bleed so much because he must be afraid of their Nanchen Kingdom.

Huh, it's just a small country with a lot of seas, and it can't compare with his rich Nanchen.

"Okay, okay, Princess Anping, feel free to choose. I will definitely make the decision for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Nanchen."

After saying that, Gongsun Qiao's eyes swept over the young masters in the hall.

The young men who wanted to marry her were busy putting their best foot forward.

The people of Nanchen Kingdom value etiquette and filial piety, and pay more attention to family inheritance. The princes here all have a bookish air about them, which is something that the princes of Dongzhou Kingdom lack.

Perhaps because he was spoiled for choice, Gongsun Qiao couldn't make up his mind after making a selection.

Her last gaze wandered between the Crown Prince and Prince Rui, and it was obvious that she liked these two the most.

Although Prince Rui is a generation older than Gongsun Qiao, he is actually only thirty-five years old. He is in his prime, and he has a calmness and restraint that young people do not have. This is the wealth that time has left on him.

When Gongsun Qiao chose a county horse for herself, the eyes of the women in the hall followed her.

At this time, seeing that she seemed to be interested in the Crown Prince and Prince Rui, some ladies from aristocratic families couldn't sit still.

Although the prince has become a bit ridiculous in recent years, he is still the prince after all. In addition to his good looks, many people are still thinking about the position of the prince.

For Prince Rui, there are even more women who like him.

Apart from being a bit older, it can be said that he has no shortcomings, and he is very clean and self-sufficient. Not to mention the princess, there is not even a maid to warm the bed.

Gongsun Qiao felt those hostile and vigilant eyes.

She looked away and said with some distress.

"Your Majesty Nanchen, the sons of Nanchen Kingdom are so outstanding that I can't make up my mind for a while."

After hearing Gongsun Qiao's praise, Emperor Nanchen was very satisfied.

He hugged Concubine Jing and laughed, "Princess Anping, don't worry, you can take your time and choose where to live in the capital, okay?"
