Chapter 327: Desire to form a good relationship with Qin and Jin
[But... that cantaloupe should be rotten by now, right?]
【According to my scan, it is not rotten.】
The things sent by the Western Regions and Nanzhao were not limited to these, they just picked out a few valuable ones and presented them in person.
Emperor Yuan glanced at the cantaloupe and smiled with a forced smile on his face. They all wanted to cause trouble!
The Western Region envoy continued, "Our king specifically ordered us to bring seeds with him, and he also said he was looking forward to tasting Daxia's Hami melons next year."
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang scoffed, "Look how smug he is! It's just a cantaloupe, right? I can easily grow one!"
[That's right! The host can not only grow cantaloupes, but also cherries, mangoes, jackfruits...]
Even as the system chattered on, Emperor Yuan raised his lip and confidently replied, "Next year, I will definitely invite the King of the Western Regions to taste Daxia's Hami melons!"
The Western Regions envoy was stunned. His smile remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart, "I will tell my king the truth!"
Emperor Yuan gently raised his hand and said, "Come here, play music!"
"Your Majesty, Heavenly Khan," the Western Region envoy saluted again. "Our king has sent us here not only to present gifts to you and learn about Daxia culture, but also to establish friendly relations with you."
[Ah, my!] Jiang Yueyang was a little excited. [Your Majesty was worried before that the Third Prince and his family couldn't find wives, but now, two beauties from the Western Regions have offered themselves to him as his daughters-in-law.]
[Tsk tsk, the Third Prince and his kin are so lucky! Those two princesses from the Western Regions are truly beautiful.]
The third prince, who was named, became alert all of a sudden, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the two princesses from the Western Regions.
It is beautiful, but it is a pity that he does not like the Western style.
Except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince who has someone he loves, the other princes did have some ideas.
Especially the Sixth Prince who has a preference for beauties.
With the precedent of Concubine Lan, Emperor Yuan did not want his prince to marry a woman of a foreign race, let alone a princess.
But... it wouldn't be a good idea to refuse outright.
Considering this, Emperor Yuan smiled faintly and said, "I have always been open-minded. Regarding marriage, it is mainly up to the children's wishes."
The envoy from the Western Regions seemed to have guessed that Emperor Yuan would not agree so readily, and his smile remained unchanged.
"Respected Tian Khan, Princesses Ayimu and Ayi Na particularly like Daxia's culture and have wanted to live in Daxia since they were young.
My king dotes on the princess, and I want to fulfill her wish. I hope that the Khan of Heaven will make this happen."
The Western Region envoy saluted solemnly once again, saying, "If the Heavenly Khan approves, the Western Region is willing to offer 5,000 cattle and sheep, and 10,000 gems..."
Hearing about the generous dowry, Emperor Yuan was slightly moved, but still did not agree.
He shifted his gaze to the two princesses from the Western Regions. "Although the two princesses admire Daxia, they have never lived there. Do you really want to leave your homeland and live here permanently?"
Ayimu stood up and saluted. "Your Majesty, I like the customs and people of Daxia, and I like the peace of Daxia."
After saying that, she gently tugged at the clothes of her sister beside her.
Ayi Na saluted Emperor Yuan awkwardly, with a glint of ignorance in her watery eyes.
"Respected Tian Khan, Daxia is so big and beautiful, and the people there look different from us. It's so fun to watch."
Emperor Yuan was stunned, touched by the frankness on her face.
"So you want to stay here?"
Ayi Na smiled sweetly, "Ayi Na and Sister Ayi Mu will be together forever."
Emperor Yuan smiled faintly. Ayi Na was a simple-minded little girl who had not experienced much of the world.
But that Ayimu...
Emperor Yuan had already made up his mind and spoke slowly, "I understand the sincerity of the two princesses, but we must be cautious about the matter of marriage.
During your time in Beijing, the two princesses can go out and explore. If you still have no change of heart, I will make the final decision on this matter."
The envoy from the Western Regions felt that Emperor Yuan had given in, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Emperor Yuan looked at the two princesses and said again, "Ayimu, Ayi Na, the Queen and I are deeply in love. I hope you can find someone you like.
Don't limit yourself to my princes, you can also look at others. There are many good men in Daxia. Besides, this concerns your whole life."
The third prince secretly thought that he should stay away from the two princesses for the time being.
The fifth prince felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, and he had already expressed his feelings to the emperor and empress.
The Crown Prince, the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince also felt that it had nothing to do with them. Only the Sixth Prince was preoccupied with how to capture the heart of the beauty.
After Ayimu and Ayi Na saluted Emperor Yuan, they took their seats. The envoys from Nanzhao and the Western Regions began to toast Emperor Yuan.
Jiang Yueyang narrowed her eyes and looked at the Yuan Emperor who sat high on the throne. [Little melon, what do you think His Majesty meant by asking the two princesses from the Western Regions to look at the others?]
The system yawned sleepily, "It's definitely not what the host thinks."
[You know? ]
"Your partner has an army of 300,000 men at his disposal! The emperor isn't that foolish."
[Oh, yeah.] Jiang Yueyang smiled awkwardly, [I almost forgot about that.]
Lu Yunting was secretly happy, the corners of his mouth gradually rose, and his eyes looking at Jiang Yueyang became more gentle and affectionate.
Emperor Yuan shook his head helplessly. I have come to realize that Jiang Yueyang has brains, but is often offline...
Duke Ying glanced at Lu Yunting, then at the Princess of the Western Regions. Curiously, he asked Duke Su, "Duke Su, what do you think would happen if the Princess of the Western Regions competed with Lord Xiao Jiang for General Lu?"
"There will be a bloody storm."
The Duke of England nodded in agreement, "I hope the Princess of the Western Regions won't be so blind."
"Don't worry, His Majesty will not allow this to happen."
"Too."
Over there, after Emperor Yuan drank a few glasses of wine with the envoys from the two states, he waved his hand and said, "Come on, play some music!"
As his voice fell, a group of dancers walked in slowly with light lotus steps.
The first thing that catches your eye is a charming dancer in an orange-red dance costume, with a hairpin on her head and a pearl tassel in her mouth.
The thin gauze dress fluttered slightly with her steps, outlining her graceful figure.
Following her were seven or eight dancers in similar costumes and court musicians accompanying her.
Jiang Yueyang spotted the young man in white who she had met twice before. "Hey, little one, look at that musician holding the flute. Is that the young man in white from last time?"
The system accurately found the person Jiang Yueyang mentioned, and after a hum, it responded: [It's him.]
Everyone who heard the inner voice subconsciously looked for the musician Jiang Yueyang mentioned, curious why Jiang Yueyang paid attention to him.
There were three musicians holding flutes, and only one of them could be called a teenager, so everyone knew who he was at a glance.
The young man seemed to be looking for the source of his inner voice, but unfortunately Jiang Yueyang didn't say anything after saying that, so he didn't find anyone.
At the same time, the sound of stringed instruments gradually rose, and the dancers began to dance gracefully.
Her arms lifted lightly, her wrists turned, her fingers nimble as swallows. Her lotus feet tapped the ground, spinning and leaping like blooming flowers swaying in the wind.
The waving of her sleeves creates graceful arcs, and every movement and every look is perfectly timed, revealing her allure.
Especially the dancer in the middle.
Each of her seductive glances fell gently on the two princes of Nanzhao, deliberately seducing them.
Her eyes were lingering and there seemed to be a subtle fragrance flowing beneath her light dress.
