Chapter 72: Marry Princess Roujia

Prince Ning picked up the wine glass and stood up.

Now everyone's eyes turned over. Some well-informed people heard that Prince Ning went to His Majesty this morning and volunteered to buy all the Nine-Layered Lotus needed for the treatment of the plague.

"Father, your Majesty, I do have something I want to say." Emperor Tianwu of the Ning Dynasty bowed.

"speak."

"I have heard that Princess Roujia of Xiyan is extremely beautiful and talented, and her dance of phoenix singing in the sky is famous all over the world. Now that she has married into our dynasty, why don't you allow her to meet us and let her dance for us?"

Lu Qingyu's eyes narrowed slightly. The direction of this matter was the same as in the previous life.

There was a slight commotion at the scene. Everyone knew that Princess Roujia was sent here to marry after Xiyan was defeated.

She and the young Emperor of Xiyan are siblings from the same mother and have a very deep relationship. If it weren't for the fact that the Regent of Xiyan held all the power, Roujia would probably never have married him.

Although everyone was curious about who His Majesty would let Roujia marry in the end, no one expected that Prince Ning would bring up the matter so directly.

Emperor Tianwu's expression did not change, and he said calmly, "Princess Xuan Roujia."

Emperor Hou Tianwu glanced at Lu Zheng who was kneeling below, and raised his hand slightly, "Lord Lu, it is not a small matter for you to retire and return to the countryside. I will give you some time to think about it more."

I neither agreed nor refused, but asked my father to think about it more.

This move of shifting responsibility is a brilliant one.

Emperor Tianwu did not want to bear the reputation of being suspicious and wary of his meritorious officials, nor did he want his father to really hold military power.

He forced his father to ask to take off his armor many times so that he would agree "reluctantly".

If he hadn't been in the middle of the situation, Lu Qingyu would really want to applaud Emperor Tianwu.

Soon, a woman in green with a veil on her face walked into the hall.

When the woman walked to the center of the hall, she bowed slightly with an elegant posture, and a soft and gentle voice came out from under her veil.

"Your humble servant Roujia pays respect to His Majesty Tiansheng, and on behalf of my brother, I wish Your Majesty good health and a long life."

All the ministers' eyes were fixed on Roujia, and their expressions were filled with amazement and desire.

This woman is truly exquisite and elegant, and is the type that many men like best.

First of all, Roujia is of noble status and outstanding temperament, but at the same time, her personality is so gentle and considerate.

Such a contrast is enough to make men fascinated.

Emperor Tianwu's eyes also slightly raised. It seemed that Roujia Xiyan's title of the most beautiful woman was well deserved. Although her face was covered with a white veil, the jade-like face emerging from under the veil was stunning enough.

"You are too polite, Lord Xiyan." Emperor Tianwu said amiably, "I heard that you have a famous dance called Phoenix Singing in the Sky. I wonder if you can let everyone enjoy it at the banquet today. It can also be regarded as a dance for the friendship between our two countries."

The emperor is the emperor. As soon as he opened his mouth, he raised the level of the dance.

Roujia was just slightly stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to her senses, "In that case, Roujia respectfully obeys your command."

Soon, a new group of musicians came up.

A beautiful and lonely tune sounded faintly, and the hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes were attracted by Roujia's graceful dance.

Phoenix Sings in the Ninth Heaven tells the story of a phoenix that was abandoned by its tribe and eventually reborn from the ashes.

Throughout the dance, Roujia's body was like the wings of a phoenix, gradually stretching out and gaining a sense of strength.

At the moment when the music reached its climax, Roujia's veil fell to the ground and her body jumped high.

Everyone was stunned.

Roujia's beauty is truly extraordinary, like a fairy who has been banished to the mortal world, cold and aloof without a trace of worldly affairs.

Except for He Junxuan, the eyes of several princes and royal family members were all drawn to him.

Originally, they were somewhat wary of Roujia, after all, she was a foreign woman, and marrying her would always be inconvenient. But Roujia's beauty made some people change their minds. Although it was impossible for her to be the principal wife, she could be a concubine.

Emperor Tianwu's gaze seemed to fall on Roujia, but out of the corner of his eye he was observing his sons.

The eldest prince, He Junyang, raised his eyebrows with desire in his eyes.

The third prince, He Junyu, had a focused look, with amazement in his eyes.

The fourth prince, He Junping, had a calm expression and admiring eyes.

The seventh prince, He Juncheng, had dilated pupils, his eyes filled with desire and amazement.

But the most special one is the eighth prince He Junxuan.

Because he had a blank expression on his face and empty eyes, he wasn't watching the dance at all.

Emperor Tianwu now believes that his eighth son may really have a lover whom he cannot have.

As the song came to an end, the dance that had stunned the audience slowly came to a halt.

Roujia's veil had been taken off, so the sweat on her forehead was clearly visible.

This dance took a whole cup of tea and was extremely physically demanding, but Roujia only sweated slightly and even her breathing was steady.

This made everyone present amazed.

After a moment of silence, Prince Ning stood up first and applauded, "It is a great honor for me to see Princess Roujia's Fengming Jiutian today."

King Xuan also echoed, "Third brother is right, Fengming Jiutian is indeed a top-grade product."

With the prince taking the lead, the ministers became bolder and kept praising him.

Finally, everyone's eyes turned to Emperor Tianwu.

The emperor still did not show any sadness or joy on his face, he just nodded slightly and said, "Princess Roujia's reputation for both talent and skill is indeed well-deserved."

Roujia smiled and bowed, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."

Lu Qingyu looked at this familiar scene and felt a little surprised.

After my rebirth, this is the first time that such a high degree of overlap has occurred.

If the event line does not change, it will be Prince Ning's turn to ask for marriage.

As expected, the next moment, Prince Ning stood up and said, "Father, I have a request."

"Go ahead."

Prince Ning glanced at Roujia inconspicuously and said, "I fell in love with Princess Roujia at first sight and would like to marry her as my concubine."

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and then everyone was shocked.

The third prince is really rude. He asked to marry Roujia as his concubine?

Is this appropriate?

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Han Zhi frowned deeply and his expression turned a little ugly.

Prince Ning acted in this way without considering his daughter's face at all.

In the past, Prince Ning would at least pretend to be someone he is, but now he doesn’t even pretend to be someone he is.

There were also ministers who reacted quickly and looked at Han Zhi. This old brother was a bit miserable. His own son-in-law said in front of so many people that he wanted to marry a concubine and even said it was love at first sight.

If I remember correctly, when Prince Ning pursued Han Yuqin, he also said it was love at first sight.

It's somewhat ironic.
