Chapter 89 Princess Yilan
King Xian returned to the banquet hall. Everyone had taken turns to come forward to celebrate his birthday. In the middle of the lawn, a beautiful girl was performing a dance.She shook her shoulders to the beat of the music, slowly lowered her waist, and made an elegant finishing move.

"Empress Dowager, Yilan wishes you blessings as vast as the grassland and longevity as the stars!" Princess Yilan's silver bell-like voice floated at the end of the music.

King Xian, who had just had sex with a little girl, couldn't help but be deeply attracted to this foreign princess. He followed her with his eyes and refused to leave for a moment.

This time three princes and a princess came from the four tribes of Wala.Princess Yilan is the jewel in the palm of his father's king. He was reluctant to let her travel thousands of miles to see her, but Yilan acted like a coquettish fool and insisted on coming. Her father had no choice but to choose three warriors with strong martial arts from the tribe to accompany the princess. Celestial dynasty.

"Princess Yilan, Prince Urumu, Prince Valeda, and Prince Irgen, I thank you for your sincerity. I, the queen mother, and the noble concubine are all very happy to see the marriage marriage mentioned in your letter of credence. Today, the noble sons and noble daughters of the capital are gathered here, and you also make friends with each other, I hope you can find a good match." The emperor said with a smile.

Princess Xu smiled and said: "I will introduce you to some of the royal relatives first. This is the third prince, Prince Duan."

King Duan stood up and saluted the princes and princesses in the middle of the field with clasped fists.Princess Yilan's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she blinked her big eyes and looked at King Duan expectantly, but King Duan tossed his robe and sat down without seeing it.

"This is the fourth prince, Prince Xian, the fifth prince, Prince Kang, Prince of De, Crown Prince, and Prince of Hunan, Crown Prince Rong. Over there are Princess Xuan, Princess Zhao, and Prince of De, Princess Yao."

Everyone took turns to get up and pay their respects.

King Xian stepped forward and said with a smile: "I was lucky enough to see Princess Yilan dancing just now, and Ruiqi was astonished. I wonder what kind of man can be a good match for the princess in her heart?"

Unexpectedly, Princess Yilan pointed at the king and said crisply: "He! He is the person I want to choose!"

Everyone was astonished. This princess had a sharp eye. She pointed out a handsome prince who had not yet married his wife!
King Duan thought that something was wrong. He looked up and saw the emperor looking at him with a serious smile. He quickly stood up and saluted the emperor and said loudly: "Father, my son is unwilling."

"Why are you unwilling?" Before the emperor could speak, Princess Yilan looked at Prince Duan with wide eyes and asked, "You have obviously promised to marry me, why are you saying you are unwilling now?"

Now everyone was confused: breaking news, it turned out that the sanctimonious King Duan actually had an affair with Princess Yilan, and now he still wants to give up!
Haitang was also taken aback, clutching her skirt tightly with both hands under the table.Xie Ruitang never mentioned Princess Yilan to her?Why do you still have a private life-long commitment?

Zhao Muzhe's gossipy heart suddenly became elated, and he nudged Shen Congxi next to him with his elbow. Shen Congxi moved away a little, not bothering to pay attention to this troublesome person, and just watched what happened.

Xie Yuantang was a little unkind and gloated. He immediately glanced at Haitang and saw that she was sitting upright, staring at Xie Ruitang. The nervousness was so obvious that even a blind person could see it.

Xie Yuanfang felt sour in his heart, wishing that Princess Yilan could come up with some irrefutable proof. It would be best for the emperor to confirm the marriage on the spot!

Xie Ruitang cried out in her heart: When will I agree to marry you?How come I don’t know this myself?His first reaction was to look at Haitang and saw her looking at him with a solemn expression, as if waiting for an answer from him.

He calmed down, looked at the emperor frankly and said:
"My son does know Princess Yilan, but he has never made any promise to her. Half a year ago, on the order of his father, my son went to Jiuzhen to comfort the army. On the way back from Gansu Town, we were attacked by Wala. At that time, our son He got separated from the guards and was caught by them in the military camp.

It was in the Wara military camp that the son met Princess Yilan.The princess was benevolent and righteous, and released her son so that the son could join the guards who came to rob the camp and retreat.

Because the whole incident only happened in just three days, the son did not suffer any harm from it. Even though it was after the incident, he was still afraid that his father would care about the child and speaking out would only increase his worries, so he did not report it. "When Cheng Haitang heard this, he knew that Xie Ruitang was explaining everything to him. He couldn't help but lower his head slightly, showing a faint smile.

The emperor turned to Yilan and asked, "Is this true?" Yilan nodded.

"If that's the case, then how can you say that he agreed to marry you?" The emperor turned to Yilan and asked again.

"That time, I went hunting with Brother Seven and Brother Ninth. We walked along the border for two days. My brothers accidentally spotted a cavalry coming in the distance, so they set up an ambush and prepared to rob them." She paused as she spoke. , looked at the emperor with some embarrassment: "We won't hurt anyone if we rob, Your Majesty~"

Seeing the emperor nodding, she continued: "The cavalry is coming. There are more than 20 people, all of them are heroic Chinese men. The one running at the front is wearing a mesh hat and silver light armor. Although they all wear Wearing a sand mask, but I just know that he must be very handsome!"

Upon hearing this, someone in the banquet below laughed softly.

"Unexpectedly, Princess Yilan is still a clairvoyant!" Zhao Xiaohou also said with a smile, he glanced at Duan Wang and said, "Why don't I think he is handsome?"

Princess Yilan continued: "Brothers waited for the two in front to run over, and then pulled the horse rope. The group of people behind turned their backs and couldn't keep up. He and his guards were about to turn back. My brother took advantage of them just looking at his companions. , rushed forward, put a noose around their horses' necks, and a group of warriors rushed up to capture them.

Later, he said that he was a prince, and his brother let the guards go and asked them to go back to Guanzhen to prepare grain and grass in exchange.Then we took him back to the camp alone. "

Yilan turned around, looked at Xie Ruitang enthusiastically, and said: "His sand-proof towel was pulled off, he is more handsome than I imagined, and he has a nice voice, unlike the ones on our grasslands." The man was so rugged, with a kind of determination and tenacity that I had never seen before.

I secretly went to the tent to see him. He smiled at me and said I was beautiful. He asked me to let him go.I said, I let him go, but he wants to marry me.But what he said was that he already had a sweetheart!Of course I don't care, men always want to marry many women, my father is like this, Your Majesty, don't you too? "

The emperor nodded to Yilan, who was looking at him, and said, "That's right."

"He has been silent and refused to eat the food I gave him. I am not afraid. My father said that no matter how stubborn a person is, just starve him for a few days and he will be fine!" Princess Yilan said seriously.No one down there was laughing anymore.

"But on the third night, someone suddenly set fire to the camp outside, and there were fighting sounds outside the tent. I was afraid that he would be burned to death, so I ran to the tent where he was kept and let him go." Yilan blinked. Said: "Your Majesty, you said that if I cut the rope and he left, wouldn't that mean he would marry me by default? If he didn't want to marry me, even if I let him go, he shouldn't leave!"

The emperor smiled awkwardly and thought to himself, my son is not a fool. Why don't you leave and wait for you to catch him back?Looking at it this way, the third child really did not agree to marry the princess, and he could not turn his elbows away. For an outsider, he was wronged in vain.

The emperor could only say vaguely:

"This... you have to ask him this question in person. I can't be his master anymore."
