Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Almost all the guests were present, and Princess Longzhu just showed up.

She took off her wide cloak, revealing her slender figure at a glance. The red skirt was embroidered with the most famous moon flower in Xiliang with gold thread, and a shiny gold chain was wrapped around her waist.

She didn't comb her hair into a complicated bun like the women of Dazhou.

The long dark brown curly hair is all loose behind her, golden bead chains are entangled in the hair, and a bright ruby ​​hangs from between the eyebrows.

Coupled with her deep facial features and emerald green eyes.

Full of exotic style, very attractive.

Hua Manman has to admit that this is indeed a rare beauty.

No wonder it has the title of Desert Pearl.

She whispered to the man beside her.

"I think Princess Longzhu is pretty."

Li Ji only glanced at Princess Longzhu when she appeared, and then stopped caring about her.

He echoed casually: "Don't you think she looks like a ghost like that?"

Hua Manman was stunned.

Li Ji: "Look at her snow-white face, bright red lips, and those green eyes..."

Hua Manman covered her ears.

No, there is a picture in my mind!

A beauty who was quite beautiful at first, but when King Zhao described her like this, she immediately became spooky.

It directly caused a huge blow to Hua Manman's young heart.

So much so that she didn't dare to look at Princess Longzhu's face next.

The Xiliang mission first presented a few treasures they brought, then flattered Da Zhou, and finally made a request for marriage.

The emperor had already been mentally prepared, and he was not surprised when he heard the words, and asked with a smile.

"I don't know who is the one who is lucky enough to win the heart of Princess Longzhu?"

As soon as these words came out, the second prince Li Hao and the fifth prince Li Yan both pricked up their ears and looked at Princess Longzhu without blinking, feeling very nervous.

The two brothers are not yet married, and based on their identities, they are very suitable for Princess Longzhu.

But in fact, neither of them wanted to marry this desert pearl in their hearts.

Because there was an unwritten rule in the Great Zhou Dynasty——

All queens in the palace must not be women of foreign races.

If they were allowed to marry Princess Longzhu as their concubines, it would mean that they would have no chance of succession to the throne.

No matter how beautiful Princess Longzhu was, she couldn't compare with the succession to the throne.

At this time, both Li Hao and Li Yan were beating their hearts, silently hoping that they would not be the ones who fell in love with Princess Longzhu.

Li Yan was even ready. If Princess Longzhu insisted on marrying a prince, he would push out the fourth prince, Li Ying.

Anyway, the fourth prince has always been out of favor, and it is impossible for him to inherit the throne, so it is most appropriate for him to do this kind of thing.

Li Ying didn't know that someone was playing against him.

He is looking at Hua Manman right now.

I haven't seen her for a while, she looks almost the same, she is still so delicate and cute.

The Xiliang Mission has long discussed the matter of marriage in private.

They originally liked the emperor, and they wanted Princess Longzhu to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine.

But Princess Longzhu suddenly changed her mind.

She said that she took a fancy to King Zhao of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

She wants to marry King Zhao.

The Xiliang Mission's persuasion was ineffective, and they felt a little worried.

King Zhao is already married, and if Princess Longzhu wants to marry her, she has to separate the couple alive.

If this matter is not done well, not only will they not be able to form a marriage, but they may even become enemies.

However, Princess Longzhu has made up her mind, and the people in the Xiliang Mission have no choice but to follow her wishes.

Facing the inquiry from Emperor Da Zhou at this moment, Princess Longzhu's cheeks flushed slightly, as if she was a little shy, but her voice was clear and bright, allowing everyone present to hear clearly.

"Returning to His Majesty, I want to marry His Highness King Zhao."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to King Zhao.

Even Hua Manman looked at the man beside him.

Li Ji, who was the person involved, reacted flatly.

He replied without thinking.

"But I don't want to marry you."

It's very straightforward and doesn't give the other party any face.

Princess Longzhu choked hard, her pretty face flushed red.

He was ashamed just now, but now he is completely angry.

Everyone in the Xiliang mission had a bad look on their faces.

They felt that King Zhao was deliberately humiliating them.

The second prince Li Hao frowned, seemingly puzzled.

The fourth prince Li Ying was still looking at Hua Manman with heavy eyes, making it impossible to understand what he was thinking.

The fifth prince, Li Yan, showed a gloating expression, making it clear that he wanted to watch a good show.

The sixth prince Li Yi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Concubine Shu beside him.

These things have nothing to do with them, just watch the excitement, and don't foolishly take things on yourself.

The emperor didn't seem to notice how weird the atmosphere during the banquet was, and smiled as if nothing had happened.

"Princess Longzhu doesn't know that King Zhao has already married a wife."

No matter how stupid Princess Longzhu is, it is impossible for King Zhao to divorce his wife and remarry in front of so many people.

She pretended to be cute and muttered.

"Didn't men in the Great Zhou Dynasty have three wives and four concubines? I don't mind being an equal wife for King Zhao."

Immediately afterwards, she heard King Zhao speak, with a strong sense of mockery in his voice.

"You really deserve to be from Xiliang, you can even say things like Ping's wife who is not on the stage."

With a simple word, all the people in Xiliang present were half-deadly pissed off.

The members of the Xiliang mission all glared at him.

One of the leaders got up angrily and said angrily in bad Zhou dialect.

"King Zhao, please take back what you just said!"

Li Ji smiled lazily, completely ignoring the other party's anger.

"This king keeps his word and never takes back what he said."

The man turned his head to look at the emperor, and began to complain in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty, are you just watching King Zhao intentionally humiliate us Xiliang people?"

The emperor looked helplessly at King Zhao.

"Say a few words less."

Li Ji shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Everyone in the Xiliang Mission stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

This is the end?

Didn't the emperor teach King Zhao a few words?

This is too partial!

In contrast, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed much calmer.

They have long been accustomed to the emperor's blatant partiality.

The emperor seemed unaware of the dissatisfaction of the Xiliang Mission, and said gently.

"Thanks to Princess Longzhu's great love, it's a pity that King Zhao is not blessed to accept it, why don't you choose another good son-in-law?

Our Great Zhou Dynasty has produced a large number of talents, and there are many people who are worthy of Princess Longzhu. "

Princess Longzhu was rejected by King Zhao in public, and the rejection was very ruthless, without giving her any face.

She became angry from embarrassment, so angry, how could she think about choosing another husband-in-law?

She bit her lower lip and said sullenly.

"I'll have to think again."

The emperor was very tolerant: "This is a major event in life, you really have to think about it."
