There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 764
[Chapter 764, request]
“Princess, what do you want me to do?”
Daohua followed Princess Lekang to the stands and looked at her puzzled.
She doesn’t seem to have any friendship with this first princess, not only no, because of the Jiang family’s relationship, maybe there will be some hatred, what does she want from herself?
Princess Lekang looked at Daohua: “Xiao Yeyang spoke for this princess before, and this princess doesn’t like to owe favors. Yesterday, this princess accidentally heard a piece of news. After thinking about it, I think I should tell him, which is considered a return of favors. Daohua
listened quietly, without speaking.
Princess Lekang continued: “Father has not agreed to the request of the eldest prince of Xiliao for a marriage proposal for a long time. Xiliao has already guessed that it is impossible to marry Princess Daxia.”
“However, in order to ensure the establishment of a friendly relationship with Daxia, They are going to settle for the next best thing and marry the Seventh Princess who came to the capital this time to the Great Xia royal family.”
Dao Hua’s heart twitched, but she still didn’t speak.
Princess Lekang glanced at Daohua: “As far as I know, the seventh princess of Xiliao is most likely interested in Xiao Yeyang.”
Daohua frowned: “Maybe the princess made a mistake? Princess Xiliao If you want to marry, you are marrying the prince, so what’s the point of marrying Xiao Yeyang?”
Princess Lekang looked at Daohua, but did not answer.
In general, it does.
But if someone intervenes, that’s not necessarily the case.
Thinking of going to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay respects to the Empress Dowager yesterday, and overhearing the conversation between the Empress Dowager and Cheng Engong, Princess Lekang felt a little panicked.
For their own selfishness, the Jiang family actually cooperated with the Xiliao people in private!
Just because Jiang Wanying failed to marry Xiao Yeyang, the Jiang family wanted to break up Xiao Yeyang and Yan Yiyi and let Xiao Yeyang marry Princess Xiliao.
As for Yan Yiyi, in the face of major national affairs, she, the first princess, has to be sacrificed, let alone her, even if her father bestows marriage, she can only be forced to become a concubine.
Princess Lekang took a deep breath, the Jiang family was her maternal ancestral family, and it was inconvenient for her to say more about the collusion with the people of Xiliao, so she could only remind her in this way.
“The princess has already said what should be said. Whether you can stop it is up to you.” After speaking, he turned and returned to the stands.
Daohua looked at her back and pondered for a while, and just in case, she sent Wang Man’er to find Xiao Yeyang.
Back on the stand, Daohua was a little absent-minded, especially noticing the piercing look in the eyes of Mrs. Jiang who was looking at her from the opposite side.
Daohua fanned the round fan, feeling depressed. There are always people hiding in the dark to spy on her, and plotting against her at the right time. This feeling is really bad.
On the racetrack, colorful flags fluttered, drums and horns blew, and it was very lively.
The Xiliao people and Daxia men who participated in the competition all drove their mounts and trotted on the horse field to exercise their bodies.
From time to time, the two sides shouted a few words, which raised the atmosphere to a very high level.
Daohua had something on her mind, so she didn’t care to watch these things. Looking at Wang Man’er who came back alone, she frowned: “Why, didn’t you find Xiao Yeyang?”
Wang Man’er shook his head: “Defu said that the little prince is now accompanying the emperor. However, The maidservant told Defu what Princess Lekang said just now, and Defu said that he would find a way to tell the little prince.”
Hearing this, Daohua could only suppress the irritability in her heart and cast her eyes on the racetrack. Just at this moment, the Seventh Princess of Xiliao, who was wearing a fiery red dress, galloped into the racecourse on a horse.
As soon as she entered the arena, she was immediately warmly cheered by the people of Xiliao.
Daohua frowned: “Could she also participate in the horse race?” After a short
wait, the emperor arrived surrounded by officials.
The emperor walked to the main seat and sat down, and all the people in the paddock knelt down to pay homage.
The emperor raised his hand to let everyone stand up, and then gave seats to the second prince of Xiliao, the eldest prince, and the accompanying officials.
The Daxia officials went to their seats and sat down.
Yeluhao looked at the racecourse, and then looked at the emperor with a smile: “Your Majesty, this horse race can’t be without prizes.” As soon as he finished
speaking, Yelukangda took out a ruler-long sword: “Your Majesty, this is our horse race.” Xiliao made a lot of money, this knife is called the Seven Star Knife, it can cut iron like mud!” The
emperor raised his eyebrows, and smiled calmly: “You all have a lot of money, so naturally I can’t miss it here.” He said, looked at it A glance at Eunuch An.
Eunuch An immediately smiled and took a meter-long sandalwood box from the eunuch behind him, stepped forward two steps, and opened the box in front of everyone.
Soon, a golden long whip appeared in everyone’s sight.
Eunuch An picked up the whip and flicked it lightly, and immediately there was a sound of piercing through the air.
“What a whip!”
Yeluhao praised exaggeratedly, and then said to the Xiliao people on the racecourse: “The emperor of Great Xia took out such a good whip as a prize, you have to use all your strength to win it! “The
Xiliao people immediately shouted on horseback.
Yang Chenghua, who was sitting on the emperor’s head, said immediately: “Xiliao’s treasured sword is also good, and our men from Daxia will definitely
win it . Do you think so?” All the staff broke out in enthusiastic cheers.
In an instant, the Xiliao people were suppressed.
Seeing this, the smile on the emperor’s face suddenly increased.
Eunuch An handed Wei Qi the whip and the treasured knife of the Xiliao people, and he tied the whip and the treasured knife to the high pillar of the ring at the end of the racecourse.
When he came back, the emperor said, “Whoever takes the whip and sword will own the whip and sword.” Then, he looked at the second prince of Xiliao and the eldest prince, “It’s almost time, let’s start.”
” Your Majesty the Emperor!”
Yelu Qianhua suddenly said, and then rode to the stands.
The emperor looked at her indifferently: “What’s the matter with Princess Qianhua?”
Yelu Qianhua jumped off the horse, bent down and said: “Your Majesty, Qianhua also wants to participate in the competition.” The
emperor smiled and said: “I have heard that Xiliao women are also very good at riding and shooting, but after all, women are not stronger than men, and they have more physical strength. It’s too late, besides, the contestants are all rough men, so it’s not good to hurt the princess.”
Yelu Qianhua said with a smile: “Your Majesty, since I plan to participate in the competition, naturally I am not afraid of getting hurt.” The
emperor doesn’t care about her at all I just said politely: “Since Princess Qianhua insists on this, then you can participate if you want to, so that we can see the demeanor of Xiliao women.”
Yelu Qianhua continued with a smile: “Your Majesty the Emperor If Qianhua wins the lottery as a daughter, I wonder if there will be additional rewards?”
Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yeluhao and Yelukangda next to him, smiled and didn’t speak immediately.
Yeluhao laughed and scolded Yelu Qianhua: “Qianhua, don’t be presumptuous. His Majesty the Emperor has already produced such a good whip, how can he ask for other rewards?
” Is the competition more interesting?” Then, looking at the emperor, “Your Majesty, if you disagree, can Qianhua understand that, in your heart, a man from Daxia is actually no match for a woman like me?” The
emperor The smile on his face suddenly faded.
At this moment, Cheng Engong on the side scolded loudly: “Princess Qianhua is really arrogant, how can my Daxia man be inferior to you, a woman from Xiliao?” Then he got up and saluted the emperor “My majesty, why don’t you agree to Princess Qianhua’s request and let her take a good look at the heroic appearance of my Daxia man.” The
emperor looked at Cheng Engong with a half-smile, and then turned his eyes to Yelu Qianhua: “I don’t know the princess What kind of reward do you want?”
Yelu Qianhua immediately said loudly: “Your Majesty, the reward Qianhua wants is very simple. I like Daxia very much and I want to stay in Daxia forever. Da Xia chooses a husband and son-in-law?”
As soon as these words came out, there was commotion among the officials of Da Xia and the surrounding women.
