My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 210 The Northern Territory Princess’s Request

At a quarter past three o'clock, the Qin family's carriage arrived outside the Circular Qiu Altar. Qin Yan and Qin He, father and son, dismounted and walked to the center of the altar, waiting for the moment to sacrifice to heaven.

The female members of the Qin family turned around and drove to the "Tongzhan Garden" palace a few hundred meters away.

They also had to go to pay their respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress.

In the palace, Shen Yuan met the envoys from the Three Kingdoms who came to celebrate his birthday.

I have long heard that a princess came from the Northern Territory. Not only was she very beautiful, she was also very good at riding and shooting.

After arriving in Beijing, he widely posted flower stickers and invited rich ladies from various provinces to accompany him on trips. Even the Qin family had received invitations from the princess, but they were all rejected by Princess Hetai.

Rumor has it that this princess may have come to marry Dayong.

In short, there are different opinions, and this "Princess Yumin" has caused quite a topic in Shengjing.

Across the crowd, Shen Yuan looked towards the envoy's seat and silently glanced at "Princess Yumin".

She was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a bright and attractive appearance. A ruby ​​tassel forehead chain hung between her eyebrows, and her eyes were shining with hope.

Wearing a fiery red double-breasted robe, a pure white fox fur cloak, riding silk pants, and deerskin boots, the whole person looks heroic and has a completely different style from the Dayong woman.

Shen Yuan looked at it secretly for a while, then quietly shifted his gaze.

Looking at the foreign girl in front of her, she inexplicably remembered the peaceful version of "Da Yu'er" she had seen on TV.

Needless to say, the appearance and temperament of "Princess Yumin" are very similar to that of "Da Yu'er".

After retracting his gaze, Shen Yuan never noticed that Princess Yumin opposite him was also looking at him curiously, with an interested smile on his lips.

After meeting the empress dowager and the hostesses of the two palaces, the wives of each palace were seated in order of seniority. Shen Yuan looked around, and sure enough, Song Yunjin was nowhere to be seen.

She was unable to attend such an important occasion. Thinking about it, she was almost heartbroken.

The corners of Shen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and her mood suddenly became happy.

The female guests at the banquet were all whispering to each other and whispering pleasantries. The loud and clear horn horn sound came from the Circular Mound Altar not far away, and the ceremony of worshiping the heaven was about to begin.

The female relatives immediately stopped talking, put on dignified and solemn expressions, and all looked towards the place where the green smoke was rising.

The heaven-sacrifice ceremony lasted for an entire hour. During this period, except for drinking some tea and making some noise, no one of the female guests dared to move around. They just sat there like sculptures.

Shen Yuan wore the extremely heavy golden crown and wanted to cry but had no tears.

This is simply torture, and I just hope that the emperor's birthday banquet will be over quickly so that my head can relax.

At the end of the Chen Dynasty, Emperor Qianyuan finally returned with hundreds of officials to worship heaven, and Tongzhan Garden officially became lively.

Just after Sichu, we entered the process stage of today's birthday banquet.The first step is, of course, the Qin Tianjian's call for "the Emperor's birthday may be celebrated with the people", and then the Emperor appears to give an opening speech, and then a group of princes, dragons and grandchildren congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, then it is the turn of the civil and military officials, and finally Xirong Envoys from other countries came forward to offer gifts to celebrate.

As a defeated country, Xirong is no longer as arrogant as before, and its attitude is very humble.

The congratulatory gifts include not only cattle, sheep, horses, jewelry and jade, but also a pair of twin sisters.The two girls are charming and voluptuous, with billowy breasts, white skin, slim waist and long legs. They can be described as natural creatures.

Shen Yuan noticed that from time to time the eyes of many male guests at the banquet would fall on the sisters, who were dressed in particularly open clothes, and some even made swallowing movements.

"Tsk tsk..." Seeing this, Shen Yuan secretly complained, Your Majesty is really blessed with a lot of beauty, and he has a beautiful woman throwing himself into his arms.

For a moment, she also deeply realized the joy of "there are 3000 beauties in the harem, and the king will not go to court early from now on".

The envoys from Nanyi came up next to congratulate him. Their gifts were all precious medicinal materials that were more than a hundred years old. The most precious among them was a thousand-year-old snow lotus from the Holy Mountain, which was of incomparable value.

The emperor seemed quite satisfied with this gift, and the smile on his lips was more genuine than when he treated the Xirong envoy just now.

Nanyi Kingdom is a small country with only one-third of Dayong's population and land.

The mountains are high, the forests are deep, the fog is abundant and the water is abundant, and medicinal materials are abundant all year round. The people of this country, regardless of men, women, old and young, all have the ability to recognize and pick medicines. Half of the medicinal materials in Dayong's medical hall come from the Nanyi Kingdom.

The last Northern Territory to appear was, without any surprise, represented by Princess Yumin, who had the highest status, and presented a gift.

This woman was astonished as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Dear Your Majesty Dayong, the gift from the Northern Territory is none other than this princess."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the table, and all the guests looked sideways at the calm and calm fiery red figure in the garden.

Emperor Qianyuan smiled but did not understand what he meant, and asked even though he knew it: "I wonder what your country means by this?"

Princess Yumin smiled lightly: "The Great Khan has ordered Yumin to choose a good son-in-law in Dayong to marry the Qin and Jin Dynasties with your country, and is willing to give three cities as a dowry to accompany the princess to Dayong. Both countries. From now on, the fighting will stop and we will not invade each other. I wonder if your Majesty is satisfied with these congratulatory gifts?"

"The Great Khan of the Northern Territory is generous with his money, which really opened my eyes. But with the dowry so generous, could it be that the princess already has a candidate in mind?" Emperor Qianyuan asked calmly, unmoved.

Princess Yumin's eyes lightly passed over the young male guests, and she said shyly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Yumin has just arrived in Dayong. He is not familiar with the place where he was born, and he does not know much about the talents of your country. I am afraid that I will have to stay longer." It takes a while to find the right husband."

Emperor Qianyuan laughed loudly: "What's the problem? If Princess Yumin likes Shengjing, she can stay as long as possible so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord."

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, so Yumin is so disrespectful." Princess Yumin bent her legs and squatted half down, and gave an upright salute, which was exactly Dayong's orthodox thank you ceremony.

Emperor Qianyuan looked at it with a smile, and the coldness in his eyes suddenly deepened.

All the guests in the hall were silent, and at the same time they looked at Princess Yumin with doubts and deep meaning.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The Northern Territory suddenly showed great courtesy, I am afraid that the intention is not small.
