Falling Snow Ruoying

Chapter 9: The Four Princesses

Seven days passed in a flash, and Luo Ying, sitting in a luxurious carriage, followed the huge team to the Central Plains.When approaching the border, Luo Ying took a look at the situation outside from the window, and took the opportunity to put on the mask.

According to the previous arrangement, the three of them were sitting in different carriages, but how could Su Qing bear the loneliness all the way, and as soon as Wu stopped, she ran to Su Lie's side and said something:

"There is no one to talk to along the way, my sister will definitely be lonely."

"If I look for her, she will be happier. Just let me go."

.....

Su Lie reluctantly agreed.

But.. I followed suit.As soon as she got into the car, she found that Luo Ying had already put on a mask.Although Su Qing had seen that mask a long time ago, she was a little surprised when she saw Luo Ying's appearance when she put it on.Su Lie, who came after him, was even more fascinated. He already looked like a fairy, but this mask added a sense of mystery, making people want to get a glimpse of his true face.

"Why are you here?" Luo Ying touched the mask on her face in doubt, "Is there something wrong with my mask?"

The two shook their heads at the same time, Su Qing turned around and trained Su Lie: "Brother, didn't you let me come? Why did you come by yourself, didn't you mean to embarrass Sister Ying?" Su Lie stayed silently, Speechless.

It was true that Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer.Luo Ying thought to herself, but she still persuaded her, "Since you two are here, come here. Don't make a fuss anymore. Anyway, this car is big enough to accommodate three people." The first time Luo Ying saw this carriage, Luo Ying was taken aback. I was shocked, there were not only soft bags, but also some fruits, and even quilts for sleeping.Is this still a car?I didn't expect mobile villas to appear so early.

What she wanted was this sentence, Su Qing happily sat beside Luo Ying.Su Lie obediently sat in the corner of the carriage. He could see you and sit next to you, so he didn't expect anything extravagantly.

Along the way, Su Qing and Luo Ying chatted casually, sticking their heads out of the window from time to time to cheer for the beautiful scenery.Su Lie looked at the two of them with a smile, and arranged the matter worryingly.

"This trip is based on the good relations between the two countries. The emperor will not embarrass us. However, we are guests after all, and we must know how to measure ourselves in other people's territory."

"Understood, you don't have to worry." They replied in unison.

Seeing the two people who were smiling slyly, Su Lie got a headache, how reassuring was that.In a few days, there shouldn't be any big troubles (self-comfort)

After several days of running around, they finally arrived at Jindu. When they arrived at the gate of the imperial city, they wanted to check the vehicle, so the three of them got out of the vehicle.The slender figure and the peerless face that even the mask can't hide have become a beautiful landscape, attracting everyone's attention.Luo Ying, who should have panicked, was unusually calm at this moment. Where did this sense of security come from?Is it this mask?All the fear and anxiety in the heart are hidden, and the due emotional fluctuations are also silenced.If this is the case, this mask is really a good thing, no wonder Su Lie wears it all day.

After the inspection, the three of them boarded the car and entered the palace under the gaze of everyone.The palace gates were filled with all kinds of red tape, and everyone was breathless. When they saw the emperor, it was already dusk.Unexpectedly, the emperor made a big joke again, and insisted on throwing a banquet to treat the guests from afar, and they didn't want to eat for nothing. Anyway, it was the emperor's treat, and the three agreed with peace of mind.

"The young master has come from a long distance, and the boat and car are exhausting. Today's reception banquet is just for you to wash away the dust." The human and animal on the dragon chair said harmlessly.

Su Lie replied politely: "Your Majesty is serious. Your country and Xijiang are neighbors in the first place. Such exchanges are normal, so why bother?"

"What you said is very true. Today, some of my daughters also came to the banquet. I hope the young master will have a good communication with them." The emperor said with a little deep meaning.

"Princesses are all well-informed. I'm just a countryman. I'm afraid I'm the one who is knowledgeable." Su Lie gradually became vigilant.

"This statement is wrong. The sage Confucius also said, "When three people walk together, there must be my teacher. "The young master is too modest."

Wanting to find some more excuses to shirk but was interrupted by loud music, the princesses walked slowly into the hall with small steps and took their seats in an orderly manner.Su Qing and Luo Ying, who were sitting in the farthest corner, were also attracted, but the objects were the food that followed.After staring at it for a long time and found that she couldn't eat it, she turned her attention to the princess, but the heavily made-up princess flashed Su Qing's eyes, and complained to Luo Ying who was beside her: "The emperor doesn't look very old, how could he have so many daughters?" ?”

"Men in the Central Plains have always married early and polygamy, not to mention that the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year King, so it is not surprising to have these daughters." Luo Ying explained in a low voice.

"That's too unfair. We in Xijiang are monogamous, like here. Don't the women here think it's unfair? They flatter men all day long." After finishing speaking, he shook his body .

"Of course there will be, but what's the use of that? How can hundreds of years of tradition be easily broken. Maybe it's a habit." Luo Ying sighed, "It's really a terrible habit."

"Princess toast." The eunuch's shrill voice won the attention of the two of them back.The princesses came to Su Lie with wine one after another, and said shyly: "I have met the young master." Su Lie also politely said: "Princess is polite."

The two people in the corner felt a little depressed, Su Qing snorted, and said to Luo Ying: "What's so good about these princesses? Sister, look at that big princess, she doesn't look very good, she thinks she's so pretty. Yes, all the hairpins are plugged in, and I feel tired just looking at it." Luo Ying looked at the "Christmas tree", smiled and nodded to Su Qing, silently praising her in her heart.

"And the second princess, look, the makeup on her face is several feet thick, maybe it will fall off when she talks later." So the two of them stared at the face of the second princess without moving. Unidentified objects fell off, and finally couldn't help laughing.Su Lie looked at the two suspiciously, Luo Ying immediately stopped laughing, poked Su Qing with her arm in reproach, Su Qing stuck out her tongue out of embarrassment, and stopped making a sound...that's impossible.

When the third princess came over, she began to comment again, but when it was the fourth princess's turn, she stopped commenting. Luo Ying looked there strangely, and saw a princess in pink with only light makeup toasting Su Lie, without heavy makeup , On the contrary, it adds a bit of innocence, and the innocence in the eyes seems to not take anyone seriously.

"These four princesses are not bad, and they look good. Compared with others, they are already good." Su Qing, who had been silent for a long time, spoke. Luo Ying nodded in agreement, but the princess seemed to be No intention of marriage.

"The fifth and sixth princesses are so horrible..." It started again, and after the two finished their comments, dinner was finally served.In order not to waste food, the two gracefully disposed of plate after plate of food in the corner, leaving others dumbfounded - women in Xijiang are not easy to raise!

On the other hand, the cold war between Su Lie and the emperor has reached a fever pitch.

"Xijiang has a good relationship with our country. I want to get closer and marry your country. I wonder if the young master has someone he likes?"

"How can I, an ordinary person, be lucky enough to be favored by a princess? Princesses are all stunning, wouldn't it be a waste of money to marry me? What's more, I already have a sweetheart, and I will get married in a few days." Su Lie asked Luo Ying that Edge pointing.

"Sweetheart?" How could I have never heard of it? The emperor looked towards Luo Ying, and sure enough, there were two stunning beauties sitting in a forgotten corner.Su Lie coughed unceremoniously, and the emperor looked away. Su Qing and Luo Ying obediently put down the bowls in their hands and bowed to everyone.Even though she was pretending to be his wife, Luo Ying's ears still burned badly.

The emperor still didn't give up, "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, why don't you marry another one? My daughter is kind by nature, so she won't treat your wife badly."

"Xijiang is monogamous. As a leader, I cannot make an exception." Su Lie said firmly.

After a while, Su Lie finally couldn't bear it any longer, pointed to Luo Ying and said, "My wife is here, what does His Majesty the Emperor think about the marriage?" By the time she looked around, there were no people left, only the table was full. Empty plates.Su Lie called Di over and asked with a cold face, "Where is Miss?"

"I slipped out not long ago, so don't worry."

Su Lie patted his forehead and knew that they would not be honest. Looking up at the smiling emperor, he felt a headache.
