Looking for another good match, Hou Menjiaojiao turns around and marries a villain

At the banquet, all the ministers presented gifts to Emperor Chu.

There are rare treasures and rare birds and beasts.

Among them, the Xia Kingdom gave a thousand-year-old medicinal herb - Dragon Blood Fruit.

Ordinary dragon blood fruit is precious enough, let alone a thousand-year-old dragon blood fruit.

This herb can nourish blood and nourish the body. It sounds ordinary, but it is a life-saving herb on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, soldiers often died of excessive blood loss, but if there was dragon blood grass, they could save their lives.

Sheng Guo gave them a bead they had never seen before, and it looked like a huge pearl.

But the color is different. Its outer periphery is crystal clear white, but there is a trace of bright red inside, like blood beads dizzy in water.

The envoy from the Sheng Kingdom held the object high and proudly said, "This bead is called Tianxuan Bead."

A courtier from Chu State asked curiously, "Tianxuan Pearl?"

"What's the use?"

"The Tianxuan Pearl was dug out from the belly of a giant fish at the bottom of the sea. This bead not only looks beautiful, it also has a great magical effect."

The state of Chu has many mountains, only lakes, rivers, and no sea, so they have never heard of this thing, and their curiosity was aroused, and they all asked, "Stop being so pretentious, what on earth is this thing?" "

“What magical effect does it have?” someone speculated, “Does it have the same skin-beautifying effect as pearls?”

"No." The envoy from the Sheng Kingdom shook his head and said, "When sailing on the sea, in addition to the unpredictable weather, there are also terrifying giant fish on the bottom of the sea. But if there is this thing, you can avoid the danger of giant fish when you go to sea. intrusion."

The people of Chu understood that this was the same as the beast-dispelling powder they prepared.

It's just that they mixed various herbs together and prepared it.

And they are just a bead.

However, there is no sea in Chu State, so this thing is of little practical help to them. It can only be used as a collection placed in the deep palace.

Far less valuable than the dragon blood fruit sent by Xia Kingdom.

When it was Xie Chunchao's turn to present the gift, she had already recovered from her chaotic emotions. She stood up from her seat with a dignified expression and said, "I would like to wish my father a happy birthday, longevity and good health."

When the emperor's eyes fell on her, they instantly became soft and gentle, and his eyes were full of love.

After Xie Chunchao finished speaking, he did not show off and said directly, "To congratulate my father on his birthday, I specially present a white tiger."

After Xie Chunchao finished speaking, the guards carried up the white tiger that had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, and then gently placed it on the ground.

The huge cage was covered with a pure black cloth to block the prying eyes of everyone.

However, before everyone saw the white tiger's true form, they heard the roar of the tiger and the sound of the cage being hit by the white tiger.

"Oh, what a strong tiger!"

Xie Chunchao walked to the cage, raised his hand and pulled off the black cloth, exposing the white tiger in the cage to everyone.

"What a beautiful white tiger."

"Oh my god, this white tiger has no trace of color on its body. It's as white as snow."

"This tiger's body shape is also rare and strong."

The emperor's eyes lit up. He had always loved beasts. Now that he saw this extremely rare white tiger, how could he not love it?

"Father, the white tiger is a symbol of auspiciousness." Xie Chunchao said, "There is a saying in the book that if the king is benevolent and does no harm, then the white tiger will be seen. The white tiger is a benevolent beast. The tiger is white, with a body like snow and no miscellaneous hair. "

"It was my father's kindness that made the white tiger appear. This is also a gift from God to my father."

When all the ministers heard this, they immediately said in unison, "Congratulations to my emperor for winning the white tiger."

There is a reason why Xie Chunchao chose the white tiger as a birthday gift.

Although the father used the queen to gain a legitimate position, there were still rumors among the people that the King of Liao killed his brother to gain the throne.

And the white tiger is a symbol of kindness. How could a kind king kill his brother?

She also wanted to use this move to help her father clear his name.

"Okay." The emperor applauded, clasping his hands, "I like Chao Chao's gift very much, and I will appreciate it."

Xie Chunchao smiled and accepted the reward, then returned to his seat and sat down.

The gift-giving process continued, and the banquet lasted for another three or four hours before it came to an end.

Father raised the wine glass high and said, "I am overjoyed to celebrate with you all today. Come, let's drink this cup together."

Xie Chunchao raised his glass and drank the wine together with the ministers.

The emperor put down his wine glass and said, "It's almost time, and tonight is over."

Hearing this, Sheng Jiajun and Rong Shen's eyes fell on Xie Chunchao, looking forward to her choice.

"Chaochao, Xia Sheng, the two princes, who do you like most?"

Xie Chunchao replied, "Back to my father, I think the Crown Prince of Sheng Kingdom and the Crown Prince of Xia Kingdom are both very good. This is just a banquet, and I can't tell them apart."

The emperor asked, "What do you want to do?"

Xie Chunchao: "Father, I want to follow the princes of the two countries to visit the two countries in Midsummer to see which country is more suitable for me."

The emperor did not expect Xie Chunchao to say this. Xie Chunchao had not discussed this matter with him.

"How can this be possible? The two countries are separated by thousands of miles and thousands of mountains in the middle of summer. How can you rest assured when you go to me?"

Xie Chunchao knelt down and begged, "I beg your father to grant me permission."

"This is related to my lifelong happiness. If I make a choice now, if nothing happens, I will live there for the rest of my life."

When the emperor and queen heard this, their faces became sad.

If Chao Chao really marries the two countries, they may never be able to see each other again in this life.

How could he bear this?

"I don't want to decide the rest of my life casually. I want to make a decision after seeing the two countries."

"I beg your father to grant me your permission."

Sheng Jiajun didn't expect Xie Chunchao to say that. How could a princess go to other countries to see her before she got married?

But this result is better than Xie Chunchao's announcement that he will marry the Crown Prince of Xia.

He rolled his eyes and then said, "Emperor Chu, just accept the princess's request."

"Gu Ding will carefully protect Her Highness the Princess and prevent her from being harmed in the slightest."

Emperor: "Okay."

"Chaochao, which country do you want to go to first?"

Xie Chunchao: "I want to go to Shengguo first."

Sheng Jiajun's eyes lit up and he said, "Princess will definitely fall in love with this place when she comes to our Sheng Kingdom."

Xie Chunchao stood up and bowed to Sheng Jiajun, "Then I will ask His Highness to take care of you from now on."

"It's natural."

Rong Shen kept his head down and said nothing. He knew that Xie Chunchao's so-called visit to the two countries was just her excuse.

The Xie Chunchao he knew would never risk going to the Midsummer Kingdom for such a reason.

I'm afraid it's true if you look at it and spy on the Chu State.

If it were him, he would also cause chaos in that country.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and looked at Xie Chunchao's tall back.

Chaochao, do you think so too?

Xie Chunchao glanced sideways and met Xie Ningyu's worried eyes, and she smiled back at him, telling him not to worry.
