Chapter 77
Chapter 77
This person is Chechen's father, the wolf king of the Northern Territory.
He pondered for a while, and then said: "This matter is harmless. The prince is usually spoiled, this kid might be able to keep an eye on him. But..."
As he spoke, he frowned, and looked at Princess Qingyuan who was already sitting at the banquet.
This princess from the Central Plains has never stepped out of the house since entering the palace, and she didn't say a word after arriving at the banquet hall. It is quite difficult for him to be a father-in-law in the future.
All the guests were seated behind the low tables in the banquet hall, except for the one table opposite Princess Qingyuan, which was empty.That table is under the Wolf Throne, so it should be the seat of the Crown Prince.
The prince has not yet attended the banquet, so there is nothing to say about this banquet.Minghan's envoy felt a little unhappy, fearing that Princess Qingyuan would be hungry, so this unhappiness was written on his face.However, it is true that the time has not yet arrived, and they came early because they were afraid that it would be too late, and they can't say anything about the prince.
Just as everyone whispered to each other, a pleasant bell sounded suddenly outside the door.Princess Qingyuan finally raised her head to look over there.I saw a blond boy holding the red gauze hanging at the entrance of the banquet hall, and then a black-haired young man about his age followed.The blond boy looked around the banquet hall, and finally pointed to a large screen behind Minghan's envoy.
The young man listened to what he said, nodded, and followed one of the two maids who came in with them to behind the screen.
Princess Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and her complexion improved a bit.
The blond boy cleaned up his expression, smiled and greeted the wolf king.
"You boy, what are you dawdling about?"
Chechen moved his body, raised his hand to catch the wine cup thrown by the wolf king, raised his head to drink it up, and said with a smile, "Why don't you take care of your new friends?"
The wolf king didn't say anything, and all the officials in the Northern Territory laughed, praising the son for his love and righteousness.However, the face of Minghan's envoy was not very good.
Princess Qingyuan waited for him here on an empty stomach for a long time, and he didn't give him any face for the future queen, but went to see that boring friend? !The envoy thought of the man who had followed Chechen into the hall just now, since he sat behind their screen, he must be Minghan's man.
Could it be... that lowly dowry dowry?
Thinking of this, the envoy's mind became active again.Wishing to make friends with such a person, it can be seen that this son of the Northern Territory is not too difficult to deal with. In the future, he can use Wu Zhu to make a face for him, and if he is not complete, he can... be a hostage.
He smiled lightly, and his mood brightened a lot.
After the prince took his seat, everyone began to eat.Previously, Yamanya was ordered to inform the kitchen to send some pancakes specially made by the palace to Wu Zhu. When the banquet was in the second half, Wu Zhu could also attend.
Not long after he moved his chopsticks, the wolf king stopped chatting with Che Chen.He stopped chopsticks and clapped his hands. His broad palms clapped loudly together, and everyone in the audience looked at the wolf king.
"Everyone here," the wolf king said with a smile, "for this night banquet, my son □□Chechen Shizi has just come of age this year, so this meal is also a celebration; An honored guest from the Central Plains, Princess Qingyuan of Minghan, the future queen of the prince."
The Wolf King looked at Chechen again: "Is there any token of affection for the prince?"
Chechen's face remained unchanged, he waved his hand, and then a maid dressed in light gauze came forward with an exquisite box inlaid with glazed sea pearls, bowed down in front of the princess's table, and presented the treasure box.
"This thing is my token of love. The princess doesn't know something. Our husband and wife in the Northern Territory will wear each other's unique accessories. Mine is this rose stone red rope pendant that I wove by myself. One of the It is on my left ear, and the princess can wear it on her right ear."
Princess Qingyuan pursed her lips tightly, looked at the red rope with a rose stone lying on the red soft satin in the treasure box, gritted her teeth and said: "Qingyuan thought... there is no need to be so anxious about this matter. After all, Qingyuan has not yet Marry the crown prince, it will not be too late to talk about it until the day is over."
Chechen raised his eyebrows and said, "Forget it."
Since Chechen had no objection, the Wolf King naturally wouldn't say anything.
The two were speechless, and Ya Ma, who was waiting around Che Chen, had just filled his empty wine plate, when he heard Che Chen whispering to her: "What kind of princess is this, with such an ugly shelf... "
Chilupan folk customs are open, even if the hostess left the maid at will to chat, no one would talk too much. Chechen is just chatting with her under so many eyes. Naturally, no one cares about it in the Northern Territory. frowned.
Ya Ma put down the wine jar, and said in a low voice: "What the prince said is... If you want me to say it, it's not as pleasing as Mr. Wu."
Yama's words hit Chechen's mind.He gave a low laugh: "Indeed, Wu Zhu is much better than this silent princess."
He couldn't help feeling a little distressed.If he really married this princess in the future, wouldn't he be suffocated to death by looking at a face that doesn't show his emotions or anger all day long?
Chechen tapped the table with the index finger of his right hand, suddenly laughed, and said: "I heard...the princess of the Central Plains is good at singing and dancing, and is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder if I will be lucky enough...to see one or two ?”
Not only Minghan's envoys, but even the ministers of the Northern Territory were almost out of breath, and hurriedly put down their cups and looked at the wolf king.
It sounds good, it's to see what kind of abilities the future queen will have, it's ugly, but it's just looking down on others and losing face.
Just as the envoy was about to speak, Princess Yuan got up and said: "I don't think it's very convenient to make a picture... Heh, it depends on the instrumental music that the prince wants to hear, and then see if I can get it out. "
Hearing this, Che Chen frowned slightly, squinted his eyes, and said, "Come here, give the princess... a wrangler."
The ministers of the Northern Territory laughed softly.
Even in Chilupan, very few people know the instrument of the wrangler. In the past, it was still popular when the lambs gathered together, but now it is almost lost.
Princess Qingyuan supported the wrangler brought up by her attendants, looked at Chechen meaningfully, sat down and laid the wrangler on her knees, and twirled the strings as thin as silk with her rounded fingertips , with a flick of a finger, a sound was drawn out.
Sitting behind the screen looking down at the ground, Wu Zhu raised his head and looked at the screen in a daze, as if he wanted to see Princess Qingyuan through the glass.
At the end of the song, Chechen curled his lips, and reluctantly took the lead in clapping.
"I didn't expect the princess to know how to play the wrangler in the Northern Territory." Chechen said calmly, but a piercing light flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty is over-reputed. Qingyuan only knows this piece of music. I heard someone play it by chance when I was young. I asked him to teach me many times before I learned it."
"Oh?" Now the Wolf King became interested, "I don't know who knows how to play the horse-wrangler. If I'm lucky, I really want to see it."
Without waiting for Princess Qingyuan to reply, the envoy Minghan quickly got up and saluted: "Coincidentally, this person is in this palace today."
Behind the screen, Ya Na guarded Wu Zhu behind her with a sullen expression, and stared at the two guards who came behind the screen at some point.
