Inside the magnificent palace
A singer in a white dance costume was singing and leading the dance in the center. Her voice was like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, making people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze.
A group of dancers danced around her like beautiful butterflies, their slender waists and soft arms dancing gracefully, their long sleeves fluttering, their clothes fluttering... ...
The ministers on both sides watched carefully.
This was the first time Xing Qing had seen a singer dance in her life, so she couldn’t help but watch it very seriously.
Of course the most important thing is that her sister is sitting next to her, so Xingqing feels completely relaxed and is naturally in the mood to enjoy the singing and dancing performance.
With my sister around, I feel like I don’t have to use my brain at all!
Today's palace banquet is to welcome the Zhao State envoys.
Because this youth formation master competition broke the limitations of many years, seven people were able to participate in the four-nation youth formation master competition next year, so the emperor specially showed favor and invited these formation masters to enter the palace to attend the palace banquet.
Xing Nong was naturally invited due to Chu Tiankuo's selfish desire. She was invited to attend the palace banquet as "Master Shen" and was allowed to wear a veil.
Young and promising formation masters were highly respected in all countries, and it was no surprise that “Master Shen” had broken three major formations within one stick of incense, so he was invited to the palace banquet and received special treatment.
Under Chu Tiankuo's arrangement, Xingnong sat below Xingqing.
Xingnong saw that Xingqing was very interested and not worried at all, so she smiled and said: It's good.
Princess Changle had seen enough of these songs and dances and was not interested in them. She could not help but glance at the Crown Prince of Zhao standing opposite her. The Crown Prince of Zhao was not paying attention to the singers, but his eyes were fixed on their row.
Princess Changle was startled and quickly looked away.
She turned around and saw Xing Qing watching the performance seriously, quiet and dignified, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
That's good, just keep it like this!
She specially dressed her up tonight. The clothes were made of the best material, and the pearl hairpin on her head was also her most precious treasure.
After being dressed like this, Princess Changle had to admit that Xing Qing's appearance was the most outstanding among all the princesses and princesses.
Since the Crown Prince of Zhao has come here to select a concubine for the Emperor of Zhao, he will definitely choose the most beautiful one.
Xing Qing noticed that the people around her breathed a sigh of relief. She had an idea and started to pick up the snacks on the table and started eating.
Some broken bits of information fell down and stained the clothes on my chest!
Princess Changle: "..."
She subconsciously raised her eyes to look in the direction of the Crown Prince of Zhao. Seeing that he hadn't looked over yet, she quickly whispered to remind him, "Sister, please be more dignified when you eat your snacks. You have snack crumbs all over your body."
Xing Qing looked down when she heard that and said, "Oh."
She responded casually, then patted it with her hand without much concern and continued eating.
This time I ate it very carefully, taking small bites, and no more pieces fell to pieces.
Princess Changle breathed a sigh of relief. So be it!
I hope she finishes this piece and doesn’t eat any more!
She couldn't help but look at the Prince of Zhao again.
Tonight, she must pay close attention to the actions of the Prince of Zhao and Xing Qing.
The Crown Prince of Zhao had seen too many of these songs and dances since he was a child and was not interested in them. His eyes fell on the row of seats opposite the princess and the county lady.
This time he was sent to the State of Chu on the imperial order of the King of Zhao, and his purpose was naturally to discuss matters of tribute and marriage.
The King of Zhao misses the woman of Chu again!
Although the King of Zhao was over 70 years old, he was still in good health. He would hold a beauty contest every year, and he particularly loved delicate and graceful women.
This is because the king of Zhao looked the most sturdy among the four kings, with a face full of flesh. The princesses he gave birth to all looked like him, with sturdy bodies and faces, making it difficult to tell whether they were androgynous.
Therefore, when he was young, he was privately ridiculed by the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms, especially the previous monarch of Chu!
There was no way. The previous king of Chu was romantic and handsome, and his concubines were all beautiful. None of his daughters and sons were ugly, and they were all outstanding. They privately made fun of the princess of Zhao for being bigger and more masculine than a man.
The king of Zhao was a stingy person and held a grudge, which was why he liked to marry the princess of Chu.
When it comes to the most delicate and graceful women among the four countries, the Chu State must be the one. There are several Chu concubines in the harem of Zhao State, all of whom are delicate and beautiful.
The eldest princess of Chu State was even more stunningly beautiful, and was recognized by the world as the most beautiful woman among the four countries!
It’s a pity that she has not given birth to a child for the king yet.
The eldest and second princesses of the Chu emperor were married, the third princess was gone, and the fourth princess was only thirteen years old. Chu used real age, while Zhao used virtual age. So the fourth prince was fourteen years old. The fourteen-year-old fourth princess was pretty and cute, and had begun to be stunningly beautiful, but her face had not yet fully grown. The lines of her cheeks and chin were still round, and she still had baby fat. She was not tall either, and there was a big gap between her and the girls of the same age in Zhao. The girls in Zhao who were good-looking at the age of fourteen looked almost like women.
His eyes passed through the fifth princess under the fourth princess, and then fell on Princess Kang Yu, the only beloved daughter of Prince Ding. He shook his head in his heart, she is beautiful, but I feel pity for her. Unfortunately, she is a sickly beauty with a congenital heart disease. If she is chosen for marriage, she may die before returning to Zhao State!
Then his eyes fell on the faces of several princes' princesses. One had beautiful features, but there was a black mole on her nose, which the king did not like. One had too dark skin. Most Zhao women had dark skin, and the king wanted to find a fair-skinned and beautiful one. One was a little fat. Was she raising pigs
None of them work!
His eyes fell on Princess Changle.
This one...
The Crown Prince of Zhao thought of the scene that happened in the reception building that day.
Chu Tiankuo seems to be quite special to her
Princess Changle lowered her head, feeling a little nervous. She glanced at Xingqing out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing that she was still eating snacks in small sips, she felt secretly relieved.
She was not as pretty as Xing Qing, so the Prince of Zhao would not be attracted to her. After all, she knew that the King of Zhao liked good-looking people!
The Crown Prince of Zhao looked at Xing Qing again.
Xing Nong looked at the Prince of Zhao without leaving a trace. At this time, she picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.
Xing Qing saw Xing Nong's actions out of the corner of her eye and her heart moved.
It happened that she had just finished a piece of dessert and her mouth was a little dry, so she picked up the tea bowl, took a big gulp, and then choked!
After spraying a little tea, she took a handkerchief to wipe it, then pressed the handkerchief against her nose and tried to blow out the tea in her nose!
Princess Changle: "!!!!"
The Crown Prince of Zhao happened to look over there and thought of the scene he saw in the restaurant.
nausea!
He quickly looked at the next person, and happened to meet Xingnong's fox eyes that seemed to be smiling under the veil!
