Chapter Thirty-Three: Princess Chiying
Qin Zheng left Mingxia Palace and returned to Dingqian Palace where he handled government affairs to continue reviewing memorials. However, he saw a young eunuch walking in with a whisk in his hand, kneeling on the ground and saying: "Your Majesty, General Ren Guang of the Western Conquest has been ordered to conquer The Xihuang Kingdom has returned triumphantly and is now kneeling outside the Meridian Gate to wait for orders."
"Oh? Tell him to come in quickly."
After hearing this, Qin Zheng quickly put down the brush in his hand and ordered.
"promise."
The eunuch took the order, stood up and walked to the door of the main hall, flicked the white whisk as if to drive away flies, stood against the door of the main hall and shouted in a long drake voice as if singing: "Pass - General Zhengxi" , let Guang go to the palace——!"
"Passed - General Zhengxi, Ren Guang goes to the palace -!"
So his voice was repeated one by one by the eunuchs at the bottom of the steps. After a while, he saw an official wearing a vermilion official uniform and a black gauze hat inlaid with jasper striding into the hall, kneeling down and facing Qin Qin. Zheng San knelt down and kowtowed nine times and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Ren Guang, kowtow to your Majesty! Long live my emperor!"
"Get flat."
Qin Zheng looked down at the official below with a smile, and said with pleasure: "My dear, thank you for your hard work this time. Every time you make a move as General, you never make any mistakes. You are indeed my Wei Qing, Huo Qubing! I have you as General. Here, I can really sit back and relax at my border!"
"Your Majesty, you have given me the reward. I just performed my meager duty."
Ren Guang slightly straightened his official uniform, took out blue pamphlets from his sleeves, held them up with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, Ye Qi, King of the Western Wilderness Kingdom, hereby writes a letter to implore Your Majesty. He is willing to bow his head as a minister and pay tribute to the court. At the end of the year, he will always be a vassal state of our country. There are also thirty boxes of jewelry, animal skins, musk and other items worth three hundred carriages each, as a slight show of sincerity. In addition, he has specially requested his ministers to escort the princess Ye Chiyingte to bring them. Your Majesty, Jisao, is willing to be friends with you forever in the Qin and Jin Dynasties."
So a little eunuch walked down, took the blue booklet, walked up to the jade platform, raised his hands above his head and bowed to show it to Qin Zheng.
"oh?"
Qin Zheng took it, looked at it briefly, threw it on the dragon table, and replied: "You can order the envoy to escort the princess back to the country, leaving only the tribute. Tell the King of Xihuang , I accept his kindness, but I don’t want any concubine."
"Your Majesty, it is really not easy for Princess Xihuang to come all the way here with her ministers."
Ren Guang seemed a little regretful about Qin Zheng's rejection, and hurriedly stepped forward and added: "What's more, there has never been a princess who has returned back since ancient times? Since she has entered our country, she has been rejected by your majesty for no reason. If this spreads out, it will not be a good idea for her." The girl's family is not good at looking at her face. What's more, although this princess is born in a barbarian, she is born into a beautiful country. Even if she serves His Majesty, she will never dishonor His Majesty's honorable name."
"Well……"
After hearing this, Qin Zheng felt that it made some sense: Not to mention that the princess was ugly and handsome, it would be very rude to reject a princess without any reason. But if the princess didn't want to get married, maybe it would be easier to say so.
He couldn't help but frown, and finally had to say: "Xuan her in."
The eunuchs on the side listened and hurriedly called for the princess of the Western Wasteland to enter the palace as before.
After a while, he saw four guards escorting a beautiful lady in pink clothes walking in the middle, walking gracefully up to the temple.
"Princess Ye Chiying of the Western Wilderness Kingdom, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Power! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
The four guards retreated, and the beauty in the pink dress knelt on the red carpet in the center of the hall and spoke softly.
"Get flat."
Qin Zheng saw her graceful figure and lovely voice. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: She is worthy of being the princess chosen for marriage. Just hearing her voice makes her feel a little numb. No wonder General Ren said that she is beautiful and fragrant.
, I just don’t know if she is willing to get married? If not, I would just reject her.
