NOVEL NEXT Chapter 246 Choosing a husband, the lady is jealous
Shen Chuwei looked at herself in the mirror, with delicate makeup and luxurious pearls, as if she was going to participate in a beauty pageant.
After dressing up, she almost didn't recognize herself.
She turned her head to look at Chunxi, "Chunxi..."
Before she finished speaking, Chunxi guessed what she wanted to say, "My lady, today's banquet is the most important thing. If you annoy her..."
Shen Chuwei also guessed what Chunxi was going to say, "If you annoy His Highness, you won't be able to eat the banquet. I understand!"
Chunxi chuckled twice, "It's good that you understand, let's go out."
Shen Chuwei looked in the mirror, her neck was almost bent by the headdress, but she endured it for the banquet.
She walked out of the inner room with the help of Chunxi.
Xiao Jinyan had been waiting outside. When he saw Shen Chuwei dressed up, he was stunned. It's not that he had never seen Shen Chuwei dressed up before, but this time, he found that it was a little different from the past.
The dress was very long, and Shen Chuwei didn't dare to walk too fast, for fear of stepping on the dress and falling down.
Suddenly, there was a spotless hand in front of her, and she could clearly see the lines on the palm. The hand was beautiful, and even the lines were beautiful.
She looked up at Xiao Jinyan, and saw him looking back at her.
Shen Chuwei put her hand in his palm. With someone holding her hand, she walked more steadily.
Chunxi followed behind, looking at the two holding hands, and smiled like a mother.
When meeting envoys from other countries, etiquette is very important.
Shen Chuwei was not proficient in ancient etiquette, so she held Xiao Jinyan's hand and walked and sat when he walked. It was right to follow him.
Just as she was walking forward, Xiao Jinyan stopped her, "Stand still."
"Oh." Shen Chuwei stood obediently until Xiao Jinyan came back again and took her to the table.
The palace maids brought delicious dishes and aged wine to the table one after another.
Shen Chuwei's eyes were always on the food in front of her, waiting for the emperor to speak, so that she could eat.
At this time, the shrill voice of Eunuch Li came from outside the door, "Princess Xueyan of Xueyue Kingdom greets the emperor."
Shen Chuwei heard Princess Xueyan, and raised her head curiously to look at the door of the hall, only to see a young woman slowly walking in. The woman wore a pink scarf, revealing a pair of autumn eyes, and a touch of cinnabar between her eyebrows with a bit of charm.
She was wearing a white satin dress with flowing sleeves, like a fairy from the earth.
It is said that Princess Xueyan is extremely beautiful, and there is some truth to it.
Xueyan took a light step and bowed, "Xueyan of Xueyue Kingdom greets the emperor."
The emperor looked down at Princess Xueyan, "It is said that Princess Xueyan is extremely beautiful. Seeing her today, it is indeed well-deserved."
Xueyan smiled lightly: "Your Majesty is very kind."
After a few polite words, Princess Xueyan and the envoy were seated, just opposite Xiao Jinyan.
After Shen Chuwei admired the beauty, she picked up a grape and put it in her mouth.
Xiao Jinyan saw it and whispered: "Pay attention to your manners."
"Yeah." Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously, holding a handkerchief to cover the skin when spitting it out. Manners are very important.
Xiao Jinyan just looked at her quietly.
Shen Chuwei looked at the crystal elbow, raised her head and looked around, her hand had already held the elbow, and she planned to take a bite when no one was looking.
As a result, she saw Princess Xueyan sitting opposite, looking over here, probably staring at Xiao Jinyan.
She turned her head to look at Xiao Jinyan and found that Xiao Jinyan was looking at her. She followed his line of sight and looked down, landing on the hand holding the elbow.
For a moment, it was so embarrassing.
Shen Chuwei said, "I will pick it up gracefully and take a small bite."
Xiao Jinyan didn't believe that she would pick up the crystal elbow gracefully and take a small bite. With her greedy nature, she would only take a big bite and cover her mouth to eat slowly.
"It's not suitable to eat crystal elbow in this occasion."
Shen Chuwei heard that it was okay to eat it if you were careful.
When the emperor was talking with the envoy, Shen Chuwei was looking for a suitable opportunity to take a bite of the crystal elbow.
Finally, when they clinked glasses in the air, Shen Chuwei took a big bite of the elbow and put it back, then covered it with her wide sleeves. To outsiders, she looked like she was drinking.
Xiao Jinyan happened to see her biting the elbow. Just as he had guessed, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and lowered his eyes to look at the whole crystal elbow in front of him. I don't know why the lunch room didn't slice it this time?
It's not convenient to eat at all.
When the banquet was coming to an end, the emperor signaled the prince and the princes to accompany Princess Xueyan to get familiar with the palace.
Everyone knew the emperor's arrangement, which was to let Princess Xueyan choose her own husband, which was also the greatest respect for the princess.
The emperor did this because of the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Although Daxia won the battle this time, it was a narrow victory.
In addition to sending two cities, Princess Xueyan's dowry was also very generous.
In return of courtesy, Daxia naturally has to treat Princess Xueyan well.
After leaving the palace and coming to the Imperial Garden
Princess Xueyan is beautiful and has a fairy-like aura, which makes anyone who sees her feel moved.
The princes surrounded Princess Xueyan and introduced themselves, hoping that Princess Xueyan would choose them.
Xueyan looked at the man in a black brocade robe standing not far away and asked the Sixth Prince: "Is he the prince?"
The Sixth Prince Xiao Qi followed Xueyan's gaze and fell on Xiao Jinyan, nodding: "Yes, he is my fourth brother, the current prince."
Xueyan stared at the slender figure for a long time, and asked Xiao Qi in confusion, "Why doesn't the prince come over?"
"I asked him to come over." Xiao Qi walked towards Xiao Jinyan, "Prince."
Shen Chuwei held Xiao Jinyan's hand and glanced at Princess Xueyan secretly, "Your Highness, shall we go back now?"
Xiao Jinyan saw Xiao Qi coming over, retracted his gaze to look at Shen Chuwei, and said softly: "You go back first, I will go back later."
"Oh." Shen Chuwei bowed and glanced at Princess Xueyan before leaving.
Chunxi supported Shen Chuwei and looked back at His Highness, "My lady, could it be that Princess Xueyan has taken a fancy to Your Highness?"
Shen Chuwei asked: "If it were you, who would you choose from those princes?"
"Of course it would be Your Highness, he is handsome, has an extraordinary temperament, and is the prince..."
Chunxi found something wrong as she spoke, and she said cautiously: "If Princess Xueyan chooses Your Highness, wouldn't the East Palace have to have another woman to compete for favor?"
"Maybe." Shen Chuwei saw that the hem of her skirt was in the way, so she simply lifted it up.
Chunxi saw her calves exposed and quickly pressed them down, "My lady, the hem of your skirt cannot be raised so high."
"It's so troublesome." Shen Chuwei had to put down her skirt again.
"Princess Xueyan is so beautiful, what if His Highness..." Chunxi raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Chuwei, "My lady, are you jealous?"
Shen Chuwei asked, "Are you going to eat dumplings for lunch?"
Chunxi knew that her lady only thought about eating~
"My lady, what I mean is, do you feel bad when you see His Highness with other women?"
Good evening, my dears!
