Nangong Wushuang originally had some foundation in martial arts, but she couldn't withstand his fall. When she fell, she almost landed on her back.
Fortunately, apart from the beads tied at the end of her hair, she didn't have many accessories on her body. Although she was extremely embarrassed after the fall, her clothes and hair didn't look too messy.
Chu Yuanzhou folded his hands on his chest and looked at her without any intention of helping her. She hummed a few times and then got up and said: "The Minister of Rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty has such skill and can bring weapons into the palace?"
Chu Yuanzhou said indifferently: "There is no way, who makes me a young talent, but young talents always have some special treatment. Today, the princess's ceremony is a little big. She will go to see the emperor later.
It’s time to thank the princess for your kindness, so it’s appropriate to give the emperor such a gift. I think the emperor will praise the princess for being knowledgeable and sensible.”
Nangong Wushuang bit her lip gently, and Chu Yuanzhou cursed in his heart that the princess had a weak head, but he led her in an orderly manner.
When the two of them walked out of the alley, they were greeted by eunuchs and maids. At this time, Chu Yuanzhou was serving as Minister of Etiquette and Xiangfu of the Cabinet. Some of the maids and eunuchs called him "Master Xiangfu" and some called him "Shangshu".
grown ups".
Nangong Wushuang was very surprised to hear those names and didn't understand where Chu Yuanzhou came from.
After Nangong Wushuang followed Chu Yuanzhou into the main hall, the emperor was already sitting on the dragon throne waiting. Nangong Wushuang bowed respectfully, and then asked the great dynasty Ashe who came to offer the tribute to this year's Tuoyin Dynasty.
After reading the gift sheet, the emperor nodded slightly.
After Ah Jiang finished reading these words, he said: "The ruler of my country once told me before I went out that the country of Great Zhou was powerful and wanted to be on good terms with Great Zhou. I would never go to war with him in the future. He wanted to marry Princess Wushuang into the Great Zhou Dynasty."
week!"
The emperor already knew about this matter, and immediately nodded and said: "Very good, I, the prince of Zhou Dynasty, have many ministers. I wonder who the princess wants to marry?"
Originally, for such a matter, the emperor could just grant the marriage directly, and there was no need to ask Nangong Wushuang for his opinion. But asking Nangong Wushuang now seemed to be a bit of an insult to her.
Nangong Wushuang was completely unaware of the emperor's thoughts and said slowly: "But it is up to the emperor to make the decision."
When Chu Yuanzhou heard her words from the sidelines, he felt that she was not as happy as she was in the Cuju court just now, but he heard Nangong Wushuang say: "Of all the ministers and princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is only one Wushuang who does not want to marry."
"Who?" the emperor asked curiously.
"Chu Yuanzhou, the crown prince of the King of Chu." Nangong Wushuang replied: "My daughter has heard about the crown prince's romantic affairs, and she already has a good wife at home. I wonder if I have the ability to make the crown prince fall in love with her."
Hearing this, the emperor glanced at Chu Yuanzhou. Chu Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and did not respond to Nangong Wushuang's answer. The emperor smiled and said: "So, does the princess already have someone she likes in her heart?"
Nangong Wushuang bit her lip gently and said, "When I first entered the palace, I saw that the Minister of Rites was extremely stable and capable, and I was very attracted to him."
She no longer had any extravagant hopes for love. Chu Yuanzhou was the only person whose identity she knew after entering the palace, and she had met Chu Yi before that. In fact, if she really had to choose, she would prefer to marry Chu Yi.
It's a pity that she doesn't know Chu Yi's true identity. Now that the matter has come to this, she can only take Chu Yuanzhou to support her.
