Qin Ban
Chapter 23
.This is their main purpose.Now it's good, with Dongxi's top-grade red coral jewel in front, the subsequent gifts are not bad, but they are always not so surprising.
Nan Lan's people were finally expected to come up, Qin Ban had been waiting for this for a long time.He is not very interested in those gold, silver and jewelry, but the princess of Nanlan. Until now, he has not figured out whether it is Yang Xue or Yang Hao who got the beauty's favor.But if he really wanted to say it, he still felt that Yang Hao was more likely.
Nanlan is famous for its handsome men and women, who are good at singing and dancing.
The second prince Nan Lan personally congratulated Emperor Sui on his birthday, and then said respectfully: "It is our honor to be able to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday this time. So Sister She specially prepared a dance. Tube?"
Qin Ban noticed that Nan Lan wanted to perform a dance when he was arranging the seats for the envoys to meet.Originally, according to the time when Nan Lan arrived in the Sui Dynasty, or Nan Lan's national strength, he should be in the top three, but in order not to hinder the future envoy Qin Ban, he proposed to arrange Nan Lan in the last.
At this moment, after Emperor Sui agreed, Nanlan's second prince waved his hand, and countless beauties walked in from the side. .After that, a woman in a bright red dress stood in the middle, with a veil on her face, dancing rapidly to the music.
Kicking his legs and bending his waist, it was as if he had lost his bones. All eyes were focused on one point.It was clear that the woman hadn't taken off her veil yet, but she had already made people believe that this person must be extremely beautiful.
The princess of Nanlan stood beside Qin Ban in a moment of turning around, because the sleeves of the dance moved past Qin Ban's face, leaving behind an intoxicating fragrance.
"You, you, you! Look at her! She actually danced towards Master Qin!" After all, Guo Fu was just a young girl, unable to hold back her temper.Seeing someone showing affection to the person he loves, he feels so angry that he is going to die.The upside-down eyebrows are also good-looking, not only not annoying, but also cute: "In this big crowd, she is also the princess of a country after all, how dare you just moles Lord Qin like this!?"
Holding back his emotional sister, Guo Pei has reason to believe that if he lets go now, Guo Fu can rush over and push that princess away: "Nanlan's folk customs are more open than Da Sui's. Maybe that's how they dance there where?"
"That's not okay! What does she want to do so close!?"
Before this princess appeared, just sitting there, Guo Fu also felt that she was superior to others.But looking at it now, Qin Ban, who just glanced at her just now, actually stared at this woman for a long time!
Not to mention what Guo Fu thinks here, but Liu An, from his position just opposite to Qin Ban's obliquely below, every time he can smell the scent of his sleeves stroking before Qin Ban's case. He felt a twitch in his forehead.Damn it!
☆, 103 [Enter V Second Update]
The name of this dance is "Move the Heaven and the Earth", startling the crowds gracefully, and the lingering sound lingers on the beams.
Her Royal Highness Princess Nanlan stood in the middle of the banquet together with the second prince who was proposing, and bowed to the Sui Emperor.
"Princess Nanlan Chunyu Lanshan wished the emperor of the Sui Dynasty a holy body and a prosperous country."
The dance just now was truly eclipsed, and Emperor Sui liked it quite a bit.Therefore, he treated the two of them with a special kindness: "What a Princess Nanlan, she is really good at dancing as rumored. I wonder if there is a rule in Nanlan that women can only show their veils?"
Every place has its own customs, let's take Dongxi as an example.The men's coming-of-age crown ceremony is not a grand ceremony to invite the elders of the clan to crown the youngest son.Instead, every summer, the respectable people in the clan choose an auspicious day, and gather all the men who will grow up this year and go to sea together.The one who brings back the pearl will complete the crown ceremony.In a sense, it is to see if you have the minimum ability to support yourself after you leave your parents.
Now that the Wan Guo Dynasty is in the Sui Dynasty, it is inevitable that there will be different rules.This is why Emperor Sui asked such a question.
Nanlan's princess bowed slightly, like an oriole singing, the melodious voice made the second prince and the crown prince, who were still laughing at each other at the beginning, wondering if the other had won the beauty, couldn't help but be taken aback.
The fourth prince is young, currently nestling in the arms of his concubine mother, his big eyes are childish but clear looking at Princess Nanlan, the innocent childish voice said to his concubine mother: "Concubine mother, this elder sister's voice is really nice, It's like the most beautiful bird in Huangjie's courtyard!"
Tong Yan Wuji, the changed Concubine Lin Gui scratched her nose affectionately, and joked: "Then Ruer wants such a woman to be a concubine?"
Sihuangzi Yangru looked at the princess, then looked at himself, and said distressedly: "But Ruer is still young..." The annoyance in his tone made people laugh.Originally it was just a joke, but I didn't expect that the fourth prince not only took it seriously, but also thought about it before answering.This made Concubine Lin Gui feel amused, her son is only so old, but she actually wants to marry the prince concubine.
"Nanlan didn't have such a custom in the first place. It's just more convenient to wear a veil." The princess behaved decently, because she had always been loved by Emperor Nanlan, and the lively tone in her voice made people feel that this person was even more agile: " If His Majesty is willing to take a look, then Chun Yushan will naturally be happy too. This veil is so boring, even the Emperor Brother is not allowed to take it off when he is out of the house."
Chun Yuqing, who was suddenly called by his sister, didn't feel annoyed at all. He just reached out and tugged at his sister's sleeve, and then pleaded guilty to Emperor Sui.
Emperor Sui also liked this kind of lively child. Of course, he would not blame him if he looked closer this way. He laughed and praised: "The princess is innocent and innocent. I like it very much. Since the veil is in the way, I will take it off right away." ?”
If it is said that before Nanlan's princess took off her veil, she only looked like the Goddess of Luoshui, a fairy from the sky who descended to the mortal world, and when she took off her veil, all the women present would be overshadowed.The deep facial features are very different from the women of the Sui Dynasty.It must be compared, the woman of the Sui Dynasty is an ink painting, and she is a statue made by a skilled craftsman.The exotic style shows its true colors in every frown and smile.
The tip of the eyes is curved like an eagle's beak, and the end of the eyes is raised. The phoenix eyes are already attractive when they are still wearing the veil. When the veil is taken off, the tall and small nose is matched with the just-sized and long mouth. Feel the icing on the cake.
Charming but not charming, the youngest daughter is lively and innocent and has the confidence brought to her by her family background and appearance.Of course, more, maybe Tianzhu's folk customs are more open than Tai Sui's, which makes her look more generous.In short, she is indeed a rare beauty.
"The princess is really beautiful." After all, the queen is a queen, and any scene can hold the stage.
Because the queen spoke first, everyone was relieved from the astonishment they saw at first glance, and gradually, the atmosphere returned to the previous state.Emperor Sui chuckled, and offered a lot of rewards to Nan Lan and his party before bestowing them seats.The banquet continued, and after the envoys, it was time for the princes and ministers to show their talents.
Guo Fu looked in Nan Lan's direction unwillingly, she was eating and drinking, she was simply used to this scene.She said in a low voice: "What a beautiful country, it's just that you haven't seen this type of appearance for a while, and if you look closely, Mr. Qin is more beautiful."
When she was speaking, Qin Wei and Qin Ban were celebrating Sui Emperor's birthday on behalf of the Qin family. The birthday gift was not very precious, but it was also a thought.
I saw Qin Banyun calmly holding the scroll in his hand. The painting was written by him and inscribed by Qin.At that time, I thought it was a family, so I didn't bother to prepare two birthday gifts.Besides, in comparison, his paintings are much better than his father's, but his writing skills are somewhat inferior.Simply came a merger.Their Qin family can't say that they can't afford to wear good clothes and eat enough because of their integrity, but they are indeed not as good as those officials who hide their secrets from the rich family and smell like wine and meat. This calligraphy and painting are both economical and elegant. birthday gift.Xun Xia helped figure out this note.
Originally, I asked Qin Ban to be younger to explain the implication of this picture of Songhe Yannian, but Qin Ban said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but I just added a few powerful words casually to make people feel that this picture Calligraphy and paintings are precious. Father's eloquence is better." Pushed.This is used as an easel and the eunuch is helping to hold it, how much effort is saved?
Sitting beside Emperor Sui and watching the happy expression of Emperor Sui's eyebrows stretched, this ordinary calligraphy and painting actually got a higher evaluation than the red coral.People who don't know about Aiqing's praise words that Aiqing has taken so much trouble will think how difficult it is.
Especially seeing that the ministers on the side felt that Mr. Qin had really made extraordinary moves, Yang Hao and Yang Xue felt that they could not hold back their laughter.
"Elder Emperor Brother and Second Emperor Brother, why are you blushing? Are you drunk?" The third prince is not in harmony with the prince and the second prince. The third prince was determined to become the number one rich man in the capital.But fortunately, he was a prince, so he had to pay attention to his image and royal face.So it's just not close to the two of them.Seeing that the crown prince and the second prince were both on the verge of smiling, they just asked a question.
After all, the prince is a prince, and he should hold it up.Glancing heartbrokenly at Yang Hao, who was apparently having fun with himself and was speechless, he coughed lightly and said, "Well, the wine at the banquet today is very sweet, my second brother and I will taste it." I'm very happy, one of them didn't pay attention and drank a few more glasses."
How could he know that Yang Hao, who was already enduring the pain, blushed even more because of his words.
The third prince curled his lips, since they didn't want to tell him, then he was not willing to ask his grandpa to tell his grandma to know.Ben meant to ask: "Brother Huang, you should ask Brother Er Huang to eat less wine, his face looks drunk. It will be difficult to get drunk at that time."
"I can drink well, so don't bother Brother Sanhuang!" He rolled his eyes, did he still think he was him?Can only drink wine that is no different from tea every day, and cause trouble everywhere when drunk?
Fortunately, they were sitting in a high corner, and some of their actions were also calm and expressionless.Looking at others from a distance, I thought the relationship between the three brothers was just joking.Now all the attention is on Qin Ban. They didn't hear Guo Fu's words, but after looking carefully, many people have discovered this problem.I can't help but sigh again that this son of the Qin family is really handsome.It's a good thing that he likes a man, otherwise, if a girl married him, she would have to look at a man who is much more handsome than herself every day, how uncomfortable would she be?
Of course, this is the thinking of some old people, and young ladies like Guo Fu, who are full of enthusiasm, still have a lot of yearning in their eyes.With a family background, ability, and such a good looking husband, let alone taking it out, even just talking about it, can make people envious. His eyes are red and he doesn't know it.
"Sister, I just took a look at it. Although Da Sui is also as beautiful as a cloud, there is no one comparable to you." The second prince of Nanlan served his sister courteously, and said while holding back: "It's us Didn't you hear that Qin Ban likes men when you lived in the inn? I don't know if it's true."
"Even if he likes men, so what? How can a man naturally like men? It must be that he himself is too outstanding, and he feels that no one can compare. There is no one who can stand together, so I blurted out that the one I like is a man." She already knew about Qin Ban, but she couldn't believe that someone like Qin Ban would like a man. .Besides, she still has the stomach to raise a few husbands if it is really impossible.After all, it is something that can't give birth to children. What's so scary about her?
And Liu An, one of the candidates she was talking about as "Sister-in-Law", at this time, like a person who has been bewitched, fixed his sights on the one who stood out from the crowd.It was as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, only that ray of light belonged to him.The sparkling eyes immediately scared away Cao Qi who wanted to sneak over to chat because of the relatively close distance.
"I haven't seen Zixian's painter for a few days, and he has improved even more. At first glance, it is more refreshing than Qin Aiqing's inscription."
Qin Ban had a humble face, and Qin Wei, who was pointed out in public as inferior to his son, gave Qin Ban an uneasy look.In the end, he thought about the fact that he was born by himself after all the boasting, so he stared at the "smug" Qin Ban and said nothing.
In order to show that he really liked this painting, Emperor Sui directly asked the eunuch next to him to take it away.It is said that it will be hung in the imperial study in the future.I don't know what the emperor who hangs a picture of Songhe Yannian in the imperial study is thinking.
☆, 104 [Entering the third update of V]
After drinking and eating, according to the previous routine, everyone will not be in a hurry to say that they want to leave, but will stay and everyone will chat with each other and talk about their own things.
Usually, where there are women, there are parents.And no matter how high your status is, as long as you have children of marriageable age, you will involuntarily start the matchmaking business.Like this kind of famous and promising young talent in the capital, all the ladies and gentlemen gather together, and the opportunity for you to have a serious look at that person's appearance will naturally not be forgotten.
Seeing that most of the people were full, and after a song and dance had retired to receive the rewards, some people became active.Walking around with a glass of wine, I took the opportunity to introduce my child to someone who might be able to help later. In short, people from all walks of life started their own activities.
As a rookie, Qin Ban is surrounded by people. On the left is the servant of the Ministry of Rites who said that Qin Shilang is really talented. This painting of Songhe Yannian is comparable to Tang Bo's ancient painting of Confucianism; on the right is the inspector who said that the nephew is really young and talented. Cheng, green out of blue is better than blue.
All in all, it's all kinds of compliments from all kinds of people. If it's someone with a less firm mind, I'm afraid I'd already be in a trance.But Qin Ban just curled the corners of his mouth quietly, and said with a slow smile: "His Royal Highness is calling Weichen over there, I wonder if you can let me go?"
The prince sits so far away, he is the closest to His Majesty except the Queen.There are also many people going at this moment, but it is not easy to surround the prince like Qin Ban.Just a few compliments, thinking of making a good impression in front of the prince, he consciously walked away.It was just now that he was free, so he stared at him whenever he had time, did Qin Ban go over to greet him?Now that Qin Ban said something, those people's faces froze for a moment. You said that even if they saw the prince bowing his head to eat vegetables at this time, they couldn't directly call Qin Ban a lie, right?Unwilling in his heart, he can only blame Qin Ban for being on good terms with the prince.
Qin Ban walked towards the prince with a glass of wine, the prince looked at the person sitting beside him naturally and was dumbfounded.It was the second prince who came over and asked curiously: "It's fine, why don't you go to Liu An to find my brother?"
"I just found a place to hide because of the boredom of being surrounded by so many people. A few days ago, Liu An was just sealed up. I'm afraid he's no better than me now." Drank the wine in his glass and poured it again. Tasted a cup of the crown prince's and said, "It's actually the same!" The tone seemed to be such an unbelievable thing.
Yang Xue has long been used to seeing Qin Ban's appearance, and there is no room for him to pretend to be stupid.However, Yang Hao didn't have a close relationship with Qin Ban before, and this was the first time we met each other.He also clicked his tongue twice in disgust: "Of course it's the same, so is it possible that the food and drink for the ministers should be the first class?"
"Pfft." Yang Xue and Qin Ban laughed together.
Yang Hao, who suddenly realized that he was being joked, put on a dark face, picked up his wine glass and said loudly in Qin Ban's direction: "The Minister of Qin is very talented, and my father also told this prince to learn more from the Minister of Qin. Qin Shilang is not hesitant to give advice!" That gnashing of teeth also made people know why he was able to lead troops to fight.
"The second prince congratulates me." Qin Ban raised his glass calmly and drank the wine.
The queen also liked Qin Ban, who was cute when he was young, and who often went to play in the palace.Now seeing that Qin Ban has a good relationship with his child, he naturally has more love from the elders.Because of Yang Hao's movements, both the Emperor and the Empress hid beside them when they saw Qin Ban, and the Empress naturally said, "Your Majesty, this Zixian has already passed the age for marrying a wife and having children for a long time. Well, at the beginning it was said that he liked men, but this man will grow up and become sensible, and it will naturally change, our princess is a bit younger, but is there any other suitable girl?"
Because they were so close, they didn't want others to know about this kind of thing.Just treat it as someone close to you talking about family affairs, except for Qin Ban and others, only the noble concubine and a few princes heard it.
Her Royal Highness the princess is worthy of the general role, it is the age of innocence.She has a very good relationship with the prince's elder brother. At this time, she heard that she was in the mother's words, so she came up excitedly and said: "Wan'er is twelve years old this year, and Qin Ban's brother is only 27. When Wan'er is sixteen, Qin Ban's brother It's only 31, it's a good age for a man, if Brother Qin Ban is willing, then it's fine to wait for Wan'er." People who listened to the childish words of the daughter's family were very happy.
Qin Ban squeezed Yang Wan's little hand amusedly, the 12-year-old girl's hand still felt a little fleshy, her eyebrows and eyes mostly resembled that of a concubine, and she was also a beauty: "I'm so old that I can give birth to a princess as big as a princess." My daughter, I’m afraid my father will break his leg and throw him out of the house if he does something like an old cow eating young grass.”
"No way, even if the princess' son-in-law is Lord Shang Shuling, he can't beat and scold casually. Father, father and brother will all make decisions for Brother Qin!"
"Pfft, alright alright, then Her Royal Highness is going to grow up quickly, and I'm still waiting for Your Majesty and Your Highness to make decisions for me." Qin Ban regards the crown prince as a close friend, and the younger sister of His Royal Highness is naturally regarded by him as a younger sister. .At this moment, the little princess Jiaohan was loved by others, so he was happy to go along with the words.
The Sui Emperor and the Empress looked at each other, and seeing Qin Ban like this, he knew that this person might want to fool him again.But since Qin Ban didn't want to, they couldn't force anything.After all, the gift of marriage is a kind of grace from a large point of view. If you force it, you just ruin this good thing, and the gain is not worth the loss.
Guo Fu has been urging her father to find Mr. Qin Wei, but Mrs. Guo looked helpless: "Fu'er, you can't help it if you find a father, this kind of children's affairs are all for the female relatives to talk about." Yes, your father is an old man, even if he came to look for Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin would not tell me."
"My mother must say something that Qin Shilang prefers a man. If he is rejected in such a large audience, then our Guo family will lose face. Then, is it possible to sit at home and wait for the Qin family to come to propose marriage?" Guo Fu was so angry that she wanted to cry.Originally, she had indeed talked well with her mother, but what did that princess just run in front of Qin Ban all alone without going in front of others? Could it be that their eyes couldn't see it?In case someone snatches it first, that, that!
"Actually, my father thinks that General Liu, who was conferred by His Majesty not long ago, is also a good candidate." He looked in Liu An's direction, persuading him persistently: "You see, General Liu is also a good candidate. Longfeng, compared with Qin Shilang, although he lacks the elegance of a literati, he has more of the fortitude of a warrior. Shouldn't you women be looking for someone to rely on? Especially General Liu, who just looks at men The kind of look that doesn't make any sense."
"I don't want it!" Guo Fu's eyes were reddened by her father's anger: "What do you think your daughter is, if you like someone, can you change your favorite object so casually?"
"Okay, okay, it's dad's fault, dad shouldn't have said those bastard words." Guo Xin dotes on this daughter so much that even Mrs. Guo thinks it's too much.Now seeing his daughter getting angry in a hurry, he actually started to think about whether he should go to Qin Wei to discuss it first.
In the end, before he moved his feet, he saw Chun Yushan ruthlessly pinching her brother's arm on Nan Lan's side. The second prince grinned and took a breath, then looked at his sister in discomfort. .Having no other choice, he stood up and bowed in the direction of Emperor Sui, and after getting his gaze, he said, "Actually, this time we have a merciless request."
"Oh? Second prince, please tell me." Sui Emperor himself had a good impression of Nan Lan, and now Nan Lan's second prince stood up and thought it would be no harm to listen.
"There is actually another reason why our Nanlan is going to Da Sui this time. My imperial sister has reached the age of marriage, and there are many young talents in Nanlan, but they are not enough compared to Da Sui. So..." In the middle of speaking, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Sui, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then stopped saying the following words, which seemed too impertinent.
Sui Emperor still didn't understand, he laughed and asked: "Then... the second prince or Princess Chunyu, is there anyone who looks suitable? The most outstanding young people of our Sui Dynasty are probably here today. "
Chun Yushan, who was named, was much more generous than her elder brother. She stood up and said, "Actually, I begged my father to ask my brother to bring me to the Sui Dynasty, just because I was lucky enough to get a calligraphy and painting before. I have been to people before, but Chun Yushan thought that if she could make such a person with calligraphy and painting, I would be willing to marry even a person in her [-]s and [-]s. Later, she came to Da Sui. But that person was much better than I imagined. A lot! I, I..." The little girl's shyness couldn't be stopped during the conversation.
"Oh? Speaking of calligraphy and painting, Zixian's skill is obvious to all. Zixian, do you know that we have such a person in the Sui Dynasty?" Sui Emperor's words brought everyone's attention to Qin Ban.
Qin Ban stood up in embarrassment and thought for a while before he came up with a moderate answer: "As far as candidates are concerned, Princess Chunyu's age is suitable and satisfactory, and it must be not much different from her age. I, Da Sui, will Of course, Lord Lin Xilin has a higher level of attainment in calligraphy and painting at this age, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although the second prince's calligraphy and painting are not as good as those of His Royal Highness and Lord Lin, they are still good. Moreover, the second prince has been fighting outside for many years, and ordinary people can't match it. However, in comparison, His Royal Highness's calligraphy and paintings are unlikely to be spread, so I guess that Lord Lin and His Highness the Second Prince are more likely."
"It's reasonable, it's reasonable!" Sui Emperor asked happily: "So I don't know who is lucky enough to be favored by Princess Chunyu? I will decide for you."
☆, 105
For some reason, Liu An felt his heart skip a beat when he saw the princess's appearance, and he had a particularly bad premonition.
Sure enough, under the expectant eyes of everyone, Chun Yushan took a look in Qin Ban's direction with her daughter's shy look.The eyebrows and eyes are full of spring, and then he said: "I, I prefer Qin Shilang..."
"..." There is a sentence that should not be said, and I don't know whether to say it or not.This is probably what everyone is thinking at this time.
Both the crown prince and the second prince originally felt a little uncomfortable on the surface, but they still felt somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts.As a result, when he raised his head, Qin Ban, who was always glamorous, was stunned in that place as if he was hit by a stick.There was an embarrassment on his face that could not be concealed, and his stagnant eyes looked in Liu An's direction in a panic.He obviously didn't do anything with him, but he felt guilty subconsciously.
You know, not long ago he stopped Liu An and Cui Qiao at the gate of the General's Mansion.At that time, I was so arrogant, although I didn't embarrass Liu An, I acted very reasonable.
Liu An's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt extremely angry.If it wasn't for thinking that this place is not suitable for making trouble, I'm afraid that I could just rush forward with a sword in hand and pretend that the enemy chopped down that shy princess.
Emperor Sui coughed twice to resolve his momentary embarrassment, and said to Chun Yushan, "This...I'm afraid it's not easy to handle. Zixian..." He stopped talking with a headache. After being the emperor for so long, floods and droughts , Bandit disasters, treacherous ministers, and even the previous foreign invasions, he has come through like this.There is nothing wrong with saying that the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty is the prosperity of the country and the people of the country.It stands to reason that he has done such a difficult task of governing the country so well, how could it be possible that Qin Ban could not tell in front of an outsider whether Qin Ban liked men and not women?
"Your Highness, I Qin Ban once said when I was in junior high school that I only love brave men and have no intention of women." Probably seeing the embarrassment of the Sui Emperor, Qin Ban cleverly took the Sui Emperor to the mouth. But can't say anything.It doesn't matter what sympathy or tactful words are for the sake of the friendship between the two countries.
Sometimes I have to say that being considerate of others is making trouble for myself.
"However, it's impossible for a man to be together with a man forever. If it's Qin Shilang, I, Chun Yushan, would be willing to accept that you like men's sex." If this kind of words were changed from ordinary times, it's good to know it yourself.It's embarrassing to put it in the open like this.
Although their Nanlan is not as powerful as the rich and powerful country of the Sui Dynasty.But in the end, Qin Ban is just a small servant, and she is the princess of a country.She shouldn't have accommodated to this point, and she shouldn't have lowered her status like this, but before she saw Qin Ban, she was determined not to marry him, and now that she finally came to Da Sui, meeting this man was better than she imagined Thousands of times, how could she give up so easily?
So what if there is a little shortcoming of liking men?The left and right are just playthings. Now that the patriarchy is in power, doesn't that man have three wives and four concubines?This husband's threat is far inferior to that of an aunt, why not be happy?
Qin Ban pursed his lips in embarrassment, and his brows were tightly locked together: "Thanks to the love of Your Highness, the Princess. But this is not a question of whether or not Her Highness accepts it, but Qin Ban has his own heart. I only wish to be with you." This person is a pair for life, and no one is allowed to intervene."
Saying this is simply not giving Nan Lan any face.It's not about whether you want it, but whether I want it or not.
It can only be said that it is relying on Emperor Sui's tolerance for him, otherwise he would have been dragged down, dismissed and beheaded for such a nonsense at Emperor Sui's birthday banquet.
The people in Nanlan only felt that they had lost their face. If the news got out, let alone whether their princess would marry or not, Nanlan would be looked down upon by others.You look at that country, even their princesses, they have to promise each other with their lives, but that person is not rare.
Qin Wei, who had known about Qin Ban and Liu An for a long time, had a serious face.It's not that he objected to Qin Ban's overtures from Princess Nanlan, but in the current situation, he didn't know what to do if it was him.It can only be said that when people sit at home, disasters come from heaven.
On the contrary, Liu An was cheerful all the way, following behind Qin Ban, even Qin Wei couldn't help but secretly stretched out his hand to hold Qin Ban.This made Qin Wei's already gloomy complexion a layer of gloom.
Looking at Nan Lan in a blink of an eye, Chun Yushan, who had never been rejected before, had a handsome face with aggrieved bitterness, and her sobbing voice made people feel distressed.Seeing the second prince who loved his sister so much, his face was as dark as if he had been splashed with that fine Hui ink.He clenched his hand tightly into a fist, and said through gritted teeth: "That Qin Ban doesn't know how to flatter you. Sui Emperor didn't even give a punishment for such a rude behavior. He simply didn't take our Nan Lan seriously." !"
With tears still on Chun Yushan's face, she sobbed and said, "It's Sui who is so powerful, why should we be taken seriously?" She wiped her face with a veil aggrievedly, as if she couldn't clean it off anyway. Tears, said: "Originally I was conceited, thinking that no one could refuse my request. If we were more cautious, we would not make such a joke. In this situation, Shan'er is not only crying because of herself, but also Feeling ashamed of my father and brother, I..."
"Sister, don't blame yourself, I will definitely ask the Emperor of Sui to explain this matter!"
In the end, it was because she didn't have the idea to marry Princess Nanlan.Although because of Princess Nanlan's excellent looks, there was a little longing for her for a while.But now that I think about it, it's no big deal.Yang Hao was worried about Qin Ban's situation: "Brother Huang, today Zixian slapped Princess Nanlan in the face in front of so many people. Do you think Nanlan will make trouble for him? "
The prince was also helpless about this matter: "I must have asked Zixian for an explanation."
"Zixian is true, Cheng Ye has that face, and defeat has that face. Tell me, he didn't think about provoking anyone. The princess of Nanlan likes Zi Xian by herself, and she feels ashamed when she is rejected." I can’t make it through. On the other hand, if you want to ask him for an explanation, no matter how you think about this kind of thing, it doesn’t make sense!” Yang Hao also felt that this was simply making trouble for no reason.Is it possible that he must drink, steal wine from other people's house, and then go to the owner of the house when he is drunk and say that it was you who caused me to be drunk?
The relationship between men and women is inherently a difficult problem, and it is impossible to explain it clearly.Now that the issue of diplomatic relations between the two countries is involved, it will be even more difficult.
The one with a big head thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what to do. In this case, he could only take one step at a time.During this period of time, the father seems to have a good impression of Qin Ban, thinking that it shouldn't be too difficult for him.
Emperor Sui drank a lot of wine today and is now in the empress' bedroom.Directly opposite the bed is the big red coral tree that was brought in tonight.
"Hey...you talk about that Nan Lan, it's not very good to give away rare treasures. Even if they bring a few boxes of gold, I won't blame them for being perfunctory. But why did they get a princess to dance, and finally mentioned this One request. Really, what should I do with Qin Ban?"
He leaned on the bed, and the empress was taking the towel from the maid who was close to her, and was wiping the face of Sui Emperor herself.When she heard Emperor Sui's words, her delicate brows also frowned: "If you talk about Zixian, this matter is not his business at all. You said that he has so many women in his heart, then if he If you can force it, there will be no such thing as Princess Nanlan."
"That's right, I don't want to punish him." Emperor Sui thought for a while, and since she was his only married wife, he didn't have so many scruples: "Actually, I have always sent him to Xiushui before." I feel guilty about this matter, thinking that if he stays in the capital, he can live a more comfortable life. With me here, no one dares to embarrass him. But what is this all about now..."
The queen was also on Qin Ban's side, and she was relieved when she heard that Emperor Sui planned to protect Qin Ban.She said meekly: "Yes, Zixian is a capable child. Staying in the capital can help His Majesty solve problems. This Nanlan person... After all, I still feel that I should not be severely punished.
If they really don't know how to ask for an explanation, the concubine thinks that it is because their princess has lost face. I think it is impossible for Hao'er and the prince to marry such a woman.Ru'er is still young, but the third prince is a good candidate.
The third prince always likes beauties, and this age has reached the age where he will choose a prince and concubine to leave the palace.No matter what you say about this Nanlan princess, her appearance is excellent.Besides, on Nanlan's side, Zixian's status is not as good as Chen'er's anyway.If His Majesty is willing, it is better to match the two of them, so that Nan Lan can step down, and Chen'er can marry a princess in a serious manner and get a reward. "
What she said was not biased in the slightest. Under the current circumstances, it should be the best idea she could think of.Emperor Sui didn't agree immediately after hearing this, and of course, he didn't object.
The people who are just waiting for Nanlan, if they really can't swallow this breath, they will come to the door.take
Nan Lan's people were finally expected to come up, Qin Ban had been waiting for this for a long time.He is not very interested in those gold, silver and jewelry, but the princess of Nanlan. Until now, he has not figured out whether it is Yang Xue or Yang Hao who got the beauty's favor.But if he really wanted to say it, he still felt that Yang Hao was more likely.
Nanlan is famous for its handsome men and women, who are good at singing and dancing.
The second prince Nan Lan personally congratulated Emperor Sui on his birthday, and then said respectfully: "It is our honor to be able to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday this time. So Sister She specially prepared a dance. Tube?"
Qin Ban noticed that Nan Lan wanted to perform a dance when he was arranging the seats for the envoys to meet.Originally, according to the time when Nan Lan arrived in the Sui Dynasty, or Nan Lan's national strength, he should be in the top three, but in order not to hinder the future envoy Qin Ban, he proposed to arrange Nan Lan in the last.
At this moment, after Emperor Sui agreed, Nanlan's second prince waved his hand, and countless beauties walked in from the side. .After that, a woman in a bright red dress stood in the middle, with a veil on her face, dancing rapidly to the music.
Kicking his legs and bending his waist, it was as if he had lost his bones. All eyes were focused on one point.It was clear that the woman hadn't taken off her veil yet, but she had already made people believe that this person must be extremely beautiful.
The princess of Nanlan stood beside Qin Ban in a moment of turning around, because the sleeves of the dance moved past Qin Ban's face, leaving behind an intoxicating fragrance.
"You, you, you! Look at her! She actually danced towards Master Qin!" After all, Guo Fu was just a young girl, unable to hold back her temper.Seeing someone showing affection to the person he loves, he feels so angry that he is going to die.The upside-down eyebrows are also good-looking, not only not annoying, but also cute: "In this big crowd, she is also the princess of a country after all, how dare you just moles Lord Qin like this!?"
Holding back his emotional sister, Guo Pei has reason to believe that if he lets go now, Guo Fu can rush over and push that princess away: "Nanlan's folk customs are more open than Da Sui's. Maybe that's how they dance there where?"
"That's not okay! What does she want to do so close!?"
Before this princess appeared, just sitting there, Guo Fu also felt that she was superior to others.But looking at it now, Qin Ban, who just glanced at her just now, actually stared at this woman for a long time!
Not to mention what Guo Fu thinks here, but Liu An, from his position just opposite to Qin Ban's obliquely below, every time he can smell the scent of his sleeves stroking before Qin Ban's case. He felt a twitch in his forehead.Damn it!
☆, 103 [Enter V Second Update]
The name of this dance is "Move the Heaven and the Earth", startling the crowds gracefully, and the lingering sound lingers on the beams.
Her Royal Highness Princess Nanlan stood in the middle of the banquet together with the second prince who was proposing, and bowed to the Sui Emperor.
"Princess Nanlan Chunyu Lanshan wished the emperor of the Sui Dynasty a holy body and a prosperous country."
The dance just now was truly eclipsed, and Emperor Sui liked it quite a bit.Therefore, he treated the two of them with a special kindness: "What a Princess Nanlan, she is really good at dancing as rumored. I wonder if there is a rule in Nanlan that women can only show their veils?"
Every place has its own customs, let's take Dongxi as an example.The men's coming-of-age crown ceremony is not a grand ceremony to invite the elders of the clan to crown the youngest son.Instead, every summer, the respectable people in the clan choose an auspicious day, and gather all the men who will grow up this year and go to sea together.The one who brings back the pearl will complete the crown ceremony.In a sense, it is to see if you have the minimum ability to support yourself after you leave your parents.
Now that the Wan Guo Dynasty is in the Sui Dynasty, it is inevitable that there will be different rules.This is why Emperor Sui asked such a question.
Nanlan's princess bowed slightly, like an oriole singing, the melodious voice made the second prince and the crown prince, who were still laughing at each other at the beginning, wondering if the other had won the beauty, couldn't help but be taken aback.
The fourth prince is young, currently nestling in the arms of his concubine mother, his big eyes are childish but clear looking at Princess Nanlan, the innocent childish voice said to his concubine mother: "Concubine mother, this elder sister's voice is really nice, It's like the most beautiful bird in Huangjie's courtyard!"
Tong Yan Wuji, the changed Concubine Lin Gui scratched her nose affectionately, and joked: "Then Ruer wants such a woman to be a concubine?"
Sihuangzi Yangru looked at the princess, then looked at himself, and said distressedly: "But Ruer is still young..." The annoyance in his tone made people laugh.Originally it was just a joke, but I didn't expect that the fourth prince not only took it seriously, but also thought about it before answering.This made Concubine Lin Gui feel amused, her son is only so old, but she actually wants to marry the prince concubine.
"Nanlan didn't have such a custom in the first place. It's just more convenient to wear a veil." The princess behaved decently, because she had always been loved by Emperor Nanlan, and the lively tone in her voice made people feel that this person was even more agile: " If His Majesty is willing to take a look, then Chun Yushan will naturally be happy too. This veil is so boring, even the Emperor Brother is not allowed to take it off when he is out of the house."
Chun Yuqing, who was suddenly called by his sister, didn't feel annoyed at all. He just reached out and tugged at his sister's sleeve, and then pleaded guilty to Emperor Sui.
Emperor Sui also liked this kind of lively child. Of course, he would not blame him if he looked closer this way. He laughed and praised: "The princess is innocent and innocent. I like it very much. Since the veil is in the way, I will take it off right away." ?”
If it is said that before Nanlan's princess took off her veil, she only looked like the Goddess of Luoshui, a fairy from the sky who descended to the mortal world, and when she took off her veil, all the women present would be overshadowed.The deep facial features are very different from the women of the Sui Dynasty.It must be compared, the woman of the Sui Dynasty is an ink painting, and she is a statue made by a skilled craftsman.The exotic style shows its true colors in every frown and smile.
The tip of the eyes is curved like an eagle's beak, and the end of the eyes is raised. The phoenix eyes are already attractive when they are still wearing the veil. When the veil is taken off, the tall and small nose is matched with the just-sized and long mouth. Feel the icing on the cake.
Charming but not charming, the youngest daughter is lively and innocent and has the confidence brought to her by her family background and appearance.Of course, more, maybe Tianzhu's folk customs are more open than Tai Sui's, which makes her look more generous.In short, she is indeed a rare beauty.
"The princess is really beautiful." After all, the queen is a queen, and any scene can hold the stage.
Because the queen spoke first, everyone was relieved from the astonishment they saw at first glance, and gradually, the atmosphere returned to the previous state.Emperor Sui chuckled, and offered a lot of rewards to Nan Lan and his party before bestowing them seats.The banquet continued, and after the envoys, it was time for the princes and ministers to show their talents.
Guo Fu looked in Nan Lan's direction unwillingly, she was eating and drinking, she was simply used to this scene.She said in a low voice: "What a beautiful country, it's just that you haven't seen this type of appearance for a while, and if you look closely, Mr. Qin is more beautiful."
When she was speaking, Qin Wei and Qin Ban were celebrating Sui Emperor's birthday on behalf of the Qin family. The birthday gift was not very precious, but it was also a thought.
I saw Qin Banyun calmly holding the scroll in his hand. The painting was written by him and inscribed by Qin.At that time, I thought it was a family, so I didn't bother to prepare two birthday gifts.Besides, in comparison, his paintings are much better than his father's, but his writing skills are somewhat inferior.Simply came a merger.Their Qin family can't say that they can't afford to wear good clothes and eat enough because of their integrity, but they are indeed not as good as those officials who hide their secrets from the rich family and smell like wine and meat. This calligraphy and painting are both economical and elegant. birthday gift.Xun Xia helped figure out this note.
Originally, I asked Qin Ban to be younger to explain the implication of this picture of Songhe Yannian, but Qin Ban said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but I just added a few powerful words casually to make people feel that this picture Calligraphy and paintings are precious. Father's eloquence is better." Pushed.This is used as an easel and the eunuch is helping to hold it, how much effort is saved?
Sitting beside Emperor Sui and watching the happy expression of Emperor Sui's eyebrows stretched, this ordinary calligraphy and painting actually got a higher evaluation than the red coral.People who don't know about Aiqing's praise words that Aiqing has taken so much trouble will think how difficult it is.
Especially seeing that the ministers on the side felt that Mr. Qin had really made extraordinary moves, Yang Hao and Yang Xue felt that they could not hold back their laughter.
"Elder Emperor Brother and Second Emperor Brother, why are you blushing? Are you drunk?" The third prince is not in harmony with the prince and the second prince. The third prince was determined to become the number one rich man in the capital.But fortunately, he was a prince, so he had to pay attention to his image and royal face.So it's just not close to the two of them.Seeing that the crown prince and the second prince were both on the verge of smiling, they just asked a question.
After all, the prince is a prince, and he should hold it up.Glancing heartbrokenly at Yang Hao, who was apparently having fun with himself and was speechless, he coughed lightly and said, "Well, the wine at the banquet today is very sweet, my second brother and I will taste it." I'm very happy, one of them didn't pay attention and drank a few more glasses."
How could he know that Yang Hao, who was already enduring the pain, blushed even more because of his words.
The third prince curled his lips, since they didn't want to tell him, then he was not willing to ask his grandpa to tell his grandma to know.Ben meant to ask: "Brother Huang, you should ask Brother Er Huang to eat less wine, his face looks drunk. It will be difficult to get drunk at that time."
"I can drink well, so don't bother Brother Sanhuang!" He rolled his eyes, did he still think he was him?Can only drink wine that is no different from tea every day, and cause trouble everywhere when drunk?
Fortunately, they were sitting in a high corner, and some of their actions were also calm and expressionless.Looking at others from a distance, I thought the relationship between the three brothers was just joking.Now all the attention is on Qin Ban. They didn't hear Guo Fu's words, but after looking carefully, many people have discovered this problem.I can't help but sigh again that this son of the Qin family is really handsome.It's a good thing that he likes a man, otherwise, if a girl married him, she would have to look at a man who is much more handsome than herself every day, how uncomfortable would she be?
Of course, this is the thinking of some old people, and young ladies like Guo Fu, who are full of enthusiasm, still have a lot of yearning in their eyes.With a family background, ability, and such a good looking husband, let alone taking it out, even just talking about it, can make people envious. His eyes are red and he doesn't know it.
"Sister, I just took a look at it. Although Da Sui is also as beautiful as a cloud, there is no one comparable to you." The second prince of Nanlan served his sister courteously, and said while holding back: "It's us Didn't you hear that Qin Ban likes men when you lived in the inn? I don't know if it's true."
"Even if he likes men, so what? How can a man naturally like men? It must be that he himself is too outstanding, and he feels that no one can compare. There is no one who can stand together, so I blurted out that the one I like is a man." She already knew about Qin Ban, but she couldn't believe that someone like Qin Ban would like a man. .Besides, she still has the stomach to raise a few husbands if it is really impossible.After all, it is something that can't give birth to children. What's so scary about her?
And Liu An, one of the candidates she was talking about as "Sister-in-Law", at this time, like a person who has been bewitched, fixed his sights on the one who stood out from the crowd.It was as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, only that ray of light belonged to him.The sparkling eyes immediately scared away Cao Qi who wanted to sneak over to chat because of the relatively close distance.
"I haven't seen Zixian's painter for a few days, and he has improved even more. At first glance, it is more refreshing than Qin Aiqing's inscription."
Qin Ban had a humble face, and Qin Wei, who was pointed out in public as inferior to his son, gave Qin Ban an uneasy look.In the end, he thought about the fact that he was born by himself after all the boasting, so he stared at the "smug" Qin Ban and said nothing.
In order to show that he really liked this painting, Emperor Sui directly asked the eunuch next to him to take it away.It is said that it will be hung in the imperial study in the future.I don't know what the emperor who hangs a picture of Songhe Yannian in the imperial study is thinking.
☆, 104 [Entering the third update of V]
After drinking and eating, according to the previous routine, everyone will not be in a hurry to say that they want to leave, but will stay and everyone will chat with each other and talk about their own things.
Usually, where there are women, there are parents.And no matter how high your status is, as long as you have children of marriageable age, you will involuntarily start the matchmaking business.Like this kind of famous and promising young talent in the capital, all the ladies and gentlemen gather together, and the opportunity for you to have a serious look at that person's appearance will naturally not be forgotten.
Seeing that most of the people were full, and after a song and dance had retired to receive the rewards, some people became active.Walking around with a glass of wine, I took the opportunity to introduce my child to someone who might be able to help later. In short, people from all walks of life started their own activities.
As a rookie, Qin Ban is surrounded by people. On the left is the servant of the Ministry of Rites who said that Qin Shilang is really talented. This painting of Songhe Yannian is comparable to Tang Bo's ancient painting of Confucianism; on the right is the inspector who said that the nephew is really young and talented. Cheng, green out of blue is better than blue.
All in all, it's all kinds of compliments from all kinds of people. If it's someone with a less firm mind, I'm afraid I'd already be in a trance.But Qin Ban just curled the corners of his mouth quietly, and said with a slow smile: "His Royal Highness is calling Weichen over there, I wonder if you can let me go?"
The prince sits so far away, he is the closest to His Majesty except the Queen.There are also many people going at this moment, but it is not easy to surround the prince like Qin Ban.Just a few compliments, thinking of making a good impression in front of the prince, he consciously walked away.It was just now that he was free, so he stared at him whenever he had time, did Qin Ban go over to greet him?Now that Qin Ban said something, those people's faces froze for a moment. You said that even if they saw the prince bowing his head to eat vegetables at this time, they couldn't directly call Qin Ban a lie, right?Unwilling in his heart, he can only blame Qin Ban for being on good terms with the prince.
Qin Ban walked towards the prince with a glass of wine, the prince looked at the person sitting beside him naturally and was dumbfounded.It was the second prince who came over and asked curiously: "It's fine, why don't you go to Liu An to find my brother?"
"I just found a place to hide because of the boredom of being surrounded by so many people. A few days ago, Liu An was just sealed up. I'm afraid he's no better than me now." Drank the wine in his glass and poured it again. Tasted a cup of the crown prince's and said, "It's actually the same!" The tone seemed to be such an unbelievable thing.
Yang Xue has long been used to seeing Qin Ban's appearance, and there is no room for him to pretend to be stupid.However, Yang Hao didn't have a close relationship with Qin Ban before, and this was the first time we met each other.He also clicked his tongue twice in disgust: "Of course it's the same, so is it possible that the food and drink for the ministers should be the first class?"
"Pfft." Yang Xue and Qin Ban laughed together.
Yang Hao, who suddenly realized that he was being joked, put on a dark face, picked up his wine glass and said loudly in Qin Ban's direction: "The Minister of Qin is very talented, and my father also told this prince to learn more from the Minister of Qin. Qin Shilang is not hesitant to give advice!" That gnashing of teeth also made people know why he was able to lead troops to fight.
"The second prince congratulates me." Qin Ban raised his glass calmly and drank the wine.
The queen also liked Qin Ban, who was cute when he was young, and who often went to play in the palace.Now seeing that Qin Ban has a good relationship with his child, he naturally has more love from the elders.Because of Yang Hao's movements, both the Emperor and the Empress hid beside them when they saw Qin Ban, and the Empress naturally said, "Your Majesty, this Zixian has already passed the age for marrying a wife and having children for a long time. Well, at the beginning it was said that he liked men, but this man will grow up and become sensible, and it will naturally change, our princess is a bit younger, but is there any other suitable girl?"
Because they were so close, they didn't want others to know about this kind of thing.Just treat it as someone close to you talking about family affairs, except for Qin Ban and others, only the noble concubine and a few princes heard it.
Her Royal Highness the princess is worthy of the general role, it is the age of innocence.She has a very good relationship with the prince's elder brother. At this time, she heard that she was in the mother's words, so she came up excitedly and said: "Wan'er is twelve years old this year, and Qin Ban's brother is only 27. When Wan'er is sixteen, Qin Ban's brother It's only 31, it's a good age for a man, if Brother Qin Ban is willing, then it's fine to wait for Wan'er." People who listened to the childish words of the daughter's family were very happy.
Qin Ban squeezed Yang Wan's little hand amusedly, the 12-year-old girl's hand still felt a little fleshy, her eyebrows and eyes mostly resembled that of a concubine, and she was also a beauty: "I'm so old that I can give birth to a princess as big as a princess." My daughter, I’m afraid my father will break his leg and throw him out of the house if he does something like an old cow eating young grass.”
"No way, even if the princess' son-in-law is Lord Shang Shuling, he can't beat and scold casually. Father, father and brother will all make decisions for Brother Qin!"
"Pfft, alright alright, then Her Royal Highness is going to grow up quickly, and I'm still waiting for Your Majesty and Your Highness to make decisions for me." Qin Ban regards the crown prince as a close friend, and the younger sister of His Royal Highness is naturally regarded by him as a younger sister. .At this moment, the little princess Jiaohan was loved by others, so he was happy to go along with the words.
The Sui Emperor and the Empress looked at each other, and seeing Qin Ban like this, he knew that this person might want to fool him again.But since Qin Ban didn't want to, they couldn't force anything.After all, the gift of marriage is a kind of grace from a large point of view. If you force it, you just ruin this good thing, and the gain is not worth the loss.
Guo Fu has been urging her father to find Mr. Qin Wei, but Mrs. Guo looked helpless: "Fu'er, you can't help it if you find a father, this kind of children's affairs are all for the female relatives to talk about." Yes, your father is an old man, even if he came to look for Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin would not tell me."
"My mother must say something that Qin Shilang prefers a man. If he is rejected in such a large audience, then our Guo family will lose face. Then, is it possible to sit at home and wait for the Qin family to come to propose marriage?" Guo Fu was so angry that she wanted to cry.Originally, she had indeed talked well with her mother, but what did that princess just run in front of Qin Ban all alone without going in front of others? Could it be that their eyes couldn't see it?In case someone snatches it first, that, that!
"Actually, my father thinks that General Liu, who was conferred by His Majesty not long ago, is also a good candidate." He looked in Liu An's direction, persuading him persistently: "You see, General Liu is also a good candidate. Longfeng, compared with Qin Shilang, although he lacks the elegance of a literati, he has more of the fortitude of a warrior. Shouldn't you women be looking for someone to rely on? Especially General Liu, who just looks at men The kind of look that doesn't make any sense."
"I don't want it!" Guo Fu's eyes were reddened by her father's anger: "What do you think your daughter is, if you like someone, can you change your favorite object so casually?"
"Okay, okay, it's dad's fault, dad shouldn't have said those bastard words." Guo Xin dotes on this daughter so much that even Mrs. Guo thinks it's too much.Now seeing his daughter getting angry in a hurry, he actually started to think about whether he should go to Qin Wei to discuss it first.
In the end, before he moved his feet, he saw Chun Yushan ruthlessly pinching her brother's arm on Nan Lan's side. The second prince grinned and took a breath, then looked at his sister in discomfort. .Having no other choice, he stood up and bowed in the direction of Emperor Sui, and after getting his gaze, he said, "Actually, this time we have a merciless request."
"Oh? Second prince, please tell me." Sui Emperor himself had a good impression of Nan Lan, and now Nan Lan's second prince stood up and thought it would be no harm to listen.
"There is actually another reason why our Nanlan is going to Da Sui this time. My imperial sister has reached the age of marriage, and there are many young talents in Nanlan, but they are not enough compared to Da Sui. So..." In the middle of speaking, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Sui, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then stopped saying the following words, which seemed too impertinent.
Sui Emperor still didn't understand, he laughed and asked: "Then... the second prince or Princess Chunyu, is there anyone who looks suitable? The most outstanding young people of our Sui Dynasty are probably here today. "
Chun Yushan, who was named, was much more generous than her elder brother. She stood up and said, "Actually, I begged my father to ask my brother to bring me to the Sui Dynasty, just because I was lucky enough to get a calligraphy and painting before. I have been to people before, but Chun Yushan thought that if she could make such a person with calligraphy and painting, I would be willing to marry even a person in her [-]s and [-]s. Later, she came to Da Sui. But that person was much better than I imagined. A lot! I, I..." The little girl's shyness couldn't be stopped during the conversation.
"Oh? Speaking of calligraphy and painting, Zixian's skill is obvious to all. Zixian, do you know that we have such a person in the Sui Dynasty?" Sui Emperor's words brought everyone's attention to Qin Ban.
Qin Ban stood up in embarrassment and thought for a while before he came up with a moderate answer: "As far as candidates are concerned, Princess Chunyu's age is suitable and satisfactory, and it must be not much different from her age. I, Da Sui, will Of course, Lord Lin Xilin has a higher level of attainment in calligraphy and painting at this age, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although the second prince's calligraphy and painting are not as good as those of His Royal Highness and Lord Lin, they are still good. Moreover, the second prince has been fighting outside for many years, and ordinary people can't match it. However, in comparison, His Royal Highness's calligraphy and paintings are unlikely to be spread, so I guess that Lord Lin and His Highness the Second Prince are more likely."
"It's reasonable, it's reasonable!" Sui Emperor asked happily: "So I don't know who is lucky enough to be favored by Princess Chunyu? I will decide for you."
☆, 105
For some reason, Liu An felt his heart skip a beat when he saw the princess's appearance, and he had a particularly bad premonition.
Sure enough, under the expectant eyes of everyone, Chun Yushan took a look in Qin Ban's direction with her daughter's shy look.The eyebrows and eyes are full of spring, and then he said: "I, I prefer Qin Shilang..."
"..." There is a sentence that should not be said, and I don't know whether to say it or not.This is probably what everyone is thinking at this time.
Both the crown prince and the second prince originally felt a little uncomfortable on the surface, but they still felt somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts.As a result, when he raised his head, Qin Ban, who was always glamorous, was stunned in that place as if he was hit by a stick.There was an embarrassment on his face that could not be concealed, and his stagnant eyes looked in Liu An's direction in a panic.He obviously didn't do anything with him, but he felt guilty subconsciously.
You know, not long ago he stopped Liu An and Cui Qiao at the gate of the General's Mansion.At that time, I was so arrogant, although I didn't embarrass Liu An, I acted very reasonable.
Liu An's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt extremely angry.If it wasn't for thinking that this place is not suitable for making trouble, I'm afraid that I could just rush forward with a sword in hand and pretend that the enemy chopped down that shy princess.
Emperor Sui coughed twice to resolve his momentary embarrassment, and said to Chun Yushan, "This...I'm afraid it's not easy to handle. Zixian..." He stopped talking with a headache. After being the emperor for so long, floods and droughts , Bandit disasters, treacherous ministers, and even the previous foreign invasions, he has come through like this.There is nothing wrong with saying that the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty is the prosperity of the country and the people of the country.It stands to reason that he has done such a difficult task of governing the country so well, how could it be possible that Qin Ban could not tell in front of an outsider whether Qin Ban liked men and not women?
"Your Highness, I Qin Ban once said when I was in junior high school that I only love brave men and have no intention of women." Probably seeing the embarrassment of the Sui Emperor, Qin Ban cleverly took the Sui Emperor to the mouth. But can't say anything.It doesn't matter what sympathy or tactful words are for the sake of the friendship between the two countries.
Sometimes I have to say that being considerate of others is making trouble for myself.
"However, it's impossible for a man to be together with a man forever. If it's Qin Shilang, I, Chun Yushan, would be willing to accept that you like men's sex." If this kind of words were changed from ordinary times, it's good to know it yourself.It's embarrassing to put it in the open like this.
Although their Nanlan is not as powerful as the rich and powerful country of the Sui Dynasty.But in the end, Qin Ban is just a small servant, and she is the princess of a country.She shouldn't have accommodated to this point, and she shouldn't have lowered her status like this, but before she saw Qin Ban, she was determined not to marry him, and now that she finally came to Da Sui, meeting this man was better than she imagined Thousands of times, how could she give up so easily?
So what if there is a little shortcoming of liking men?The left and right are just playthings. Now that the patriarchy is in power, doesn't that man have three wives and four concubines?This husband's threat is far inferior to that of an aunt, why not be happy?
Qin Ban pursed his lips in embarrassment, and his brows were tightly locked together: "Thanks to the love of Your Highness, the Princess. But this is not a question of whether or not Her Highness accepts it, but Qin Ban has his own heart. I only wish to be with you." This person is a pair for life, and no one is allowed to intervene."
Saying this is simply not giving Nan Lan any face.It's not about whether you want it, but whether I want it or not.
It can only be said that it is relying on Emperor Sui's tolerance for him, otherwise he would have been dragged down, dismissed and beheaded for such a nonsense at Emperor Sui's birthday banquet.
The people in Nanlan only felt that they had lost their face. If the news got out, let alone whether their princess would marry or not, Nanlan would be looked down upon by others.You look at that country, even their princesses, they have to promise each other with their lives, but that person is not rare.
Qin Wei, who had known about Qin Ban and Liu An for a long time, had a serious face.It's not that he objected to Qin Ban's overtures from Princess Nanlan, but in the current situation, he didn't know what to do if it was him.It can only be said that when people sit at home, disasters come from heaven.
On the contrary, Liu An was cheerful all the way, following behind Qin Ban, even Qin Wei couldn't help but secretly stretched out his hand to hold Qin Ban.This made Qin Wei's already gloomy complexion a layer of gloom.
Looking at Nan Lan in a blink of an eye, Chun Yushan, who had never been rejected before, had a handsome face with aggrieved bitterness, and her sobbing voice made people feel distressed.Seeing the second prince who loved his sister so much, his face was as dark as if he had been splashed with that fine Hui ink.He clenched his hand tightly into a fist, and said through gritted teeth: "That Qin Ban doesn't know how to flatter you. Sui Emperor didn't even give a punishment for such a rude behavior. He simply didn't take our Nan Lan seriously." !"
With tears still on Chun Yushan's face, she sobbed and said, "It's Sui who is so powerful, why should we be taken seriously?" She wiped her face with a veil aggrievedly, as if she couldn't clean it off anyway. Tears, said: "Originally I was conceited, thinking that no one could refuse my request. If we were more cautious, we would not make such a joke. In this situation, Shan'er is not only crying because of herself, but also Feeling ashamed of my father and brother, I..."
"Sister, don't blame yourself, I will definitely ask the Emperor of Sui to explain this matter!"
In the end, it was because she didn't have the idea to marry Princess Nanlan.Although because of Princess Nanlan's excellent looks, there was a little longing for her for a while.But now that I think about it, it's no big deal.Yang Hao was worried about Qin Ban's situation: "Brother Huang, today Zixian slapped Princess Nanlan in the face in front of so many people. Do you think Nanlan will make trouble for him? "
The prince was also helpless about this matter: "I must have asked Zixian for an explanation."
"Zixian is true, Cheng Ye has that face, and defeat has that face. Tell me, he didn't think about provoking anyone. The princess of Nanlan likes Zi Xian by herself, and she feels ashamed when she is rejected." I can’t make it through. On the other hand, if you want to ask him for an explanation, no matter how you think about this kind of thing, it doesn’t make sense!” Yang Hao also felt that this was simply making trouble for no reason.Is it possible that he must drink, steal wine from other people's house, and then go to the owner of the house when he is drunk and say that it was you who caused me to be drunk?
The relationship between men and women is inherently a difficult problem, and it is impossible to explain it clearly.Now that the issue of diplomatic relations between the two countries is involved, it will be even more difficult.
The one with a big head thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what to do. In this case, he could only take one step at a time.During this period of time, the father seems to have a good impression of Qin Ban, thinking that it shouldn't be too difficult for him.
Emperor Sui drank a lot of wine today and is now in the empress' bedroom.Directly opposite the bed is the big red coral tree that was brought in tonight.
"Hey...you talk about that Nan Lan, it's not very good to give away rare treasures. Even if they bring a few boxes of gold, I won't blame them for being perfunctory. But why did they get a princess to dance, and finally mentioned this One request. Really, what should I do with Qin Ban?"
He leaned on the bed, and the empress was taking the towel from the maid who was close to her, and was wiping the face of Sui Emperor herself.When she heard Emperor Sui's words, her delicate brows also frowned: "If you talk about Zixian, this matter is not his business at all. You said that he has so many women in his heart, then if he If you can force it, there will be no such thing as Princess Nanlan."
"That's right, I don't want to punish him." Emperor Sui thought for a while, and since she was his only married wife, he didn't have so many scruples: "Actually, I have always sent him to Xiushui before." I feel guilty about this matter, thinking that if he stays in the capital, he can live a more comfortable life. With me here, no one dares to embarrass him. But what is this all about now..."
The queen was also on Qin Ban's side, and she was relieved when she heard that Emperor Sui planned to protect Qin Ban.She said meekly: "Yes, Zixian is a capable child. Staying in the capital can help His Majesty solve problems. This Nanlan person... After all, I still feel that I should not be severely punished.
If they really don't know how to ask for an explanation, the concubine thinks that it is because their princess has lost face. I think it is impossible for Hao'er and the prince to marry such a woman.Ru'er is still young, but the third prince is a good candidate.
The third prince always likes beauties, and this age has reached the age where he will choose a prince and concubine to leave the palace.No matter what you say about this Nanlan princess, her appearance is excellent.Besides, on Nanlan's side, Zixian's status is not as good as Chen'er's anyway.If His Majesty is willing, it is better to match the two of them, so that Nan Lan can step down, and Chen'er can marry a princess in a serious manner and get a reward. "
What she said was not biased in the slightest. Under the current circumstances, it should be the best idea she could think of.Emperor Sui didn't agree immediately after hearing this, and of course, he didn't object.
The people who are just waiting for Nanlan, if they really can't swallow this breath, they will come to the door.take
