At this time, she was like a seductress, stealing the attention of almost everyone in the palace.
However, Bai Xi felt that Princess Yufu looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before. Princess Yufu, even this name sounds familiar.
Wait, Yufu, Xiao Yufu, oh, it turns out to be her!
Feng Shuangshuang's mind was not at all on the woman dancing in the hall, let alone whether other people were attracted to this princess. She only cared about one person, and that was the man on the dragon throne. She wanted to know if he was attracted to that princess. What princess is attracted to.
As soon as the dance was over, applause did not burst out immediately in the hall, but after a long time, warm applause started to ring out one after another. Even the ladies and ladies of the official family were not stingy in giving praise.
"Sister-in-law... Sister Xi, can she dance really well?" Feng Shuangshuang looked away, feeling a little depressed, and her tone was not as energetic as before.
"Yes." Bai Xi responded lightly.
"Is she also beautiful?"
"A beauty." Bai Xi praised without hesitation. In fact, this Xiao Yufu was indeed a beauty.
"So Brother Li will also like her." When Feng Shuangshuang said this, her head was bowed deeply, and her expression at the moment could not be seen clearly, but from her choked voice, , it is not difficult to guess her thoughts at this time.
Bai Xi didn't answer. He glanced at Feng Shuangshuang who was in a depressed mood, then at Ye Muli who was smiling, then at her brother at the next table, and finally her eyes fell on Xiao Yufu standing in the middle of the hall. , she was suddenly curious about who Xiao Yufu was dancing for just now? Also, her visit to Huashan this time should not be just for congratulations, but for another purpose.
Soon, Bai Xi's question was answered.
The backup dancers had all left, and Xiao Yufu stepped forward slightly. Without any fear or panic, only with the temperament and generosity that a princess should have, she walked in front of the emperor and saluted, "Congratulations to the emperor on his birthday." I'm glad that Yufu is willing to offer herself as a congratulatory gift, please accept it with your Majesty's approval."
Those eyes that were originally appreciative and focused and eager cooled down in an instant. Isn't this southern Xinjiang princess too bold? She actually offered herself to the emperor
The ministers also looked at Xiao Yufu with a little more scrutiny. What was Nan Xinjiang's plan? You must know that although the emperor has been on the throne for five years, the harem has not canonized a concubine so far. The emperor canonize concubines to reproduce children. , these ministers are naturally happy, but... if the emperor accepts and canonizes Princess Yufu as his concubine, and allows her to have children, then in the future...
"If the emperor is willing to accept Princess Yufu, my king is willing to offer half of the country as a wedding gift." Xiao Yupu stood up and said sincerely.
Naturally, his words caused an uproar among the ministers. Nan Xinjiang actually used half of the country for the wedding ceremony. Should it be said that the King of Nan Xinjiang loves Princess Yufu very much, or should it be said that the King of Nan Xinjiang had other reasons for this move? Purpose
After hearing this, the envoys from Qilin Kingdom and Xiliang were not too surprised. They seemed to have known about the move in Southern Xinjiang for a long time. Especially the second prince from Xiliang, who saw his cold eyes glide across. A hint of ridicule.
"Half the country." Ye Muli repeated these four words with a half-smile, but her eyes fell on the wine glass in her hand. Everyone in the audience held their breath, as if they were waiting for his next words.
"The King of Southern Xinjiang is really generous, but... I don't care about it." His tone was very light, which was a little different from the gentle and laid-back him.
Among the ministers, some were happy, some sighed and felt pity, and some frowned with worry on their faces, with different expressions.
Xiao Yupu's face was extremely ugly. He did not expect that the other party would refuse directly. Although Southern Xinjiang was only a small country, it was also a country with the richest water resources. If it were not for Xiliang, his father would never have made this decision.
"Does the Emperor look down on Yufu?" Xiao Yufu didn't have much embarrassment on her face, but her delicate cheeks were dyed with a light pink color, which was endearing.
"It's not like I don't like it." Ye Muli responded lightly.
"That means the emperor is in love." When Xiao Yufu mentioned the words "love in the heart," her beautiful eyes twinkled.
Ye Muli didn't answer and asked instead, "Princess Yufu, I seem to remember that the person you fell in love with before was our dynasty's Major General Bai. I wonder if I remember correctly?"
Xiao Yufu was startled and secretly glanced in the direction of Bai Yujie from the corner of her eyes. She found that the latter was not looking at her at all. Her heart was tingling, and pain immediately swept through her whole body. The red lips raised slightly, what was she thinking, why did she still care about him, she had already seen it clearly, right? There was only that one person in his heart, and no one wanted to get close to his heart except that person.
Everyone looked at Bai Yujie in shock. Is what the emperor said true? Princess Yufu likes Major General Bai? Then why is she dedicating herself to the emperor now
Bai Xi rested his left elbow on the table and his palm on his cheek. He smiled slightly and looked at Xiao Yufu who was standing in the hall, waiting for the latter's answer.
"Sister Xi, is what Brother Li said true?" Feng Shuangshuang asked in a very low voice. If what Brother Li said is true, then this princess must not marry Brother Li, absolutely not.
"You'll know if you keep listening." Bai Xi chuckled. She also wanted to know if Xiao Yufu would deny it.
Xiao Yufu ignored the unkind looks and maintained the temperament and demeanor that a princess should have. She did not deny it, but frankly admitted, "It is indeed true."
"Oh?" Ye Muli raised her eyebrows, curled her lips and said with a smile, "How about I grant you a marriage?"
The situation became too fast. Not only did Xiao Yufu fail to react, but even the ministers had no time to use their brains.
"As the saying goes, lovers will eventually get married. Since Princess Yufu's heart belongs to Bai Aiqing, I will give them a marriage."
As soon as he finished speaking, an indifferent voice sounded softly, "Since Southern Xinjiang is so sincere, as the emperor of Xiyue, why don't you accept her gift?"
