Chapter 121: You barbarian thief, are you worthy of my condescension?
Furong frowned and said, "What if he orders someone to take His Highness there by force?"
"Are all the guards in the Princess's Mansion dead?"
Shang Xi gathered his sleeves, turned around, and sat upright in front of the hall.
Waiting for the further development of this farce to see what decision the emperor will make.
Furong's heart trembled when she heard this, "Your Highness is going to confront His Majesty's men head-on..."
"No, I'm not here to confront the Emperor. I'm here to protect the little dignity that Dayong has."
This was not a momentary impulse, but his integrity as Princess Dayong.
"Besides, he wouldn't necessarily disregard his dignity and become a slave to Yan Xiongnu, allowing someone to forcibly bring me into the palace."
When the news reached the palace, the other married princesses had already arrived at the banquet.
They were dressed maturely, their eyes were red, and they looked at the Hun delegation with hatred and fear.
When they looked over, they immediately lowered their heads, fearing that they would be chosen.
Everyone present heard the young eunuch's reply clearly.
The other princesses all admired Shang Xi's decisiveness.
At the same time, I feel that he is really naive.
At this critical juncture, can disobeying the imperial order avoid such humiliation?
The Huns had strong soldiers and horses, and won battle after battle.
Don’t you see that His Majesty is also smiling here?
If the Huns are determined to insult them, Your Majesty can only swallow his anger, let alone a princess?
In the end, only one princess will be chosen to marry the Xiongnu.
It may not be me.
The emperor looked unhappy.
This Duan Hui usually indulges him, but now at this critical moment, he is actually acting arrogantly.
Although it is understandable, it is really a disgrace to him.
What does he mean?
When the former emperor was in power, he could drive the Huns away for thousands of miles.
The daughter of the late emperor was also a man of unyielding character who would rather die than surrender.
But the Xiongnu prince, upon hearing this, could not help but clap his hands and laugh: "Well, well, well, it's so rare for you in Dayong to have a strong-willed woman!"
"Interesting, this is very interesting! Where does this fiery princess live? I will go and invite her myself!"
The Xiongnu prince stood up and looked at the emperor.
emperor:"……"
He really couldn't bring himself to say it.
Fortunately, the Xiongnu prince did not make things difficult for him. He looked at the eunuch who had just delivered the message and said, "Since you have just been there, why not go there again and lead the way!"
He turned to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, your messenger is unable to persuade this fiery princess. This prince will go and invite her personally!"
Having said this, he walked out of the palace with a big laugh.
Some of the guards followed and left, while the envoys remained seated at the table, chatting and laughing with the officials of Dayong.
The emperor looked at their leaving backs with a gloomy look in his eyes.
The Xiongnu prince came to the princess's mansion under the guidance of a young eunuch.
He ignored the obstruction and forced his way in without waiting for permission.
The two guards guarding the gate were controlled by the guards brought by the Xiongnu prince. The maids and eunuchs from the princess's mansion blocked his way, but they could not stop him from moving forward at all.
In an instant, they reached the inner court.
The noisy sound came into the flower hall.
Shang Xi looked outside.
A figure strode over through the archway with hanging flowers and soon came into Shang Xi's sight.
She had her hair in a pigtail, a short shirt with narrow sleeves, and her clothes were adorned with dazzling gemstones. She was probably in her early twenties.
With just one glance, Shang Xi knew his identity.
The prince who led the Huns this time.
The mourning period for the old marquis had only lasted a hundred days, and with the recent defeat at the border, Shang Xi hadn't been too ostentatious. He still wore light-colored clothes and no makeup. Coupled with his innate cold temperament, he looked like a banished immortal.
The Xiongnu prince who broke in saw the beauty sitting in the hall at a glance.
I was really amazed.
He stopped and his eyes were fixed on Shang Xi.
Seeing that this person looked at Shang Xi with a strange look, Furong shouted, "How dare you!"
He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Shang Xi.
"Someone, protect the princess!"
As Furong's voice fell, the young eunuch in front of the hall shouted shrilly, spreading the message. Soon, the guards from the princess's mansion rushed in from all directions, stood in front of the hall, holding swords, facing the Xiongnu prince.
Shang Xi sat high in the hall, his brows calm. When he looked at him through the layers of guards, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
But it made him even more agitated.
Such a princess with unparalleled beauty and untamable wildness is truly fascinating...
Compared with this one, the princesses in the palace are just mediocre women.
It would be a wonderful feeling to conquer such a beauty.
Unfortunately, this time he came to ask Chanyu to marry his wife.
Judging from Dayong's cowardly look, it should be no problem for him to take the two princesses away.
But you can't keep the good things for yourself and give them to a mediocre woman like the Chanyu.
Therefore, this beautiful princess still has to be presented to the Chanyu, but... if he can become the new Chanyu in the future, he will be able to inherit this fascinating princess.
The Xiongnu prince was not afraid of those knife-wielding guards at all.
He looked at Shang Xi through layers of guards, a wide smile on his lips, "Beautiful Princess, why don't you want to attend the banquet?"
"You barbarian thief, are you worthy of my condescension?"
This was a harsh remark, but the Xiongnu prince remained unmoved. "Yes, Your Highness is of noble status, so I have come to invite you personally. I also ask that you do me the honor of joining us for the banquet, and that we share a drink together."
Shang Xi's lips curled up, but his eyes grew colder: "I've made it very clear, I will only drink poisoned wine and will never attend the banquet."
"If the prince is willing to drink poisoned wine with me, I can grant you a favor."
The Xiongnu prince sighed, "Your Highness, why do you have to be like this? You are the most beautiful princess in Dayong. If you could marry into our tribe, you would definitely be the most favored Yanshi. It would not be much worse than being a princess in Shengjing City."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shang Xi's face darkened.
Furong was also frightened when she heard this.
I originally thought this person was here to deliberately humiliate Your Highness, but I didn't expect him to actually...
Shang Xi stood up and looked at the Xiongnu prince coldly: "Prince, you are joking. The prince consort is not at home today. I am unable to entertain guests. Please go back, Prince!"
After saying this, he left from the back hall of the flower hall.
The Xiongnu prince watched the beautiful figure disappear before leaving reluctantly.
Returning to the palace, he bluntly told the emperor, "Your Majesty, I feel that only this princess who did not come to the banquet is worthy of being the wife of my tribe."
The Xiongnu envoys looked at the Xiongnu prince in surprise.
The Xiongnu prince nodded at them.
They then withdrew their gazes and pleaded with the emperor in unison.
The prince was able to say such words after only this one trip, which shows that this princess must be the most beautiful princess in Dayong.
emperor:"……"
Ministers: “…”
You don't want to have a pure princess, but a slut who can be slept with by anyone?
He is indeed a barbarian who eats raw meat and drinks blood.
Unique taste.
"But this princess has a strong temper. Please try to persuade her kindly, but don't force her. We want her alive... By the way, what is this princess's name?"
Someone said, "Princess Duanhui, Shang Xi."
"Oh, dignified and dignified, beautiful and intelligent, she really lives up to her name."
The Xiongnu prince picked up the wine glass, stroked the wall of the glass with his fingertips, and the stunning glimpse just now flashed through his mind.
Everyone: “…”
Is Princess Duanhui as beautiful as her name?
I guess this Xiongnu prince doesn't know about Princess Duanhui's deeds yet.
