Chapter 184 The Beautiful Northern Qiang Princess

Zhao Zhuoxi hummed softly: "The emperor's favor has always been weak."

Even if his mother and father had such a good relationship, the late emperor had so many children with other women.

Jiang Jiu was suddenly shocked: "If the baby in Concubine Xian's belly is a boy, it wouldn't be..."

Before she finished her words, Zhao Zhuoxi smiled faintly.

"It's a girl. She's been diagnosed. Otherwise, she wouldn't be pregnant..."

Yes, will the emperor give birth to another boy to compete with Zhao Zhuoxi for the throne?

Jiang Jiu couldn't help but blame him a little.

"Tell me about you. If you had become the emperor, wouldn't everything have been fine if you had had such a good opportunity last time?"

Zhao Zhuoxi hugged her tightly, but afraid of hurting her, he loosened his arms and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"With you by my side, the fight is fun. If you're gone, I don't want to be the emperor..."

Jiang Jiu was speechless. What kind of hobby is this...

Zhao Zhuoxi asked Jiang Jiu to rest in the palace, and he and the emperor went out of the city gate to welcome Zhao Zhuoran.

Along the way, the sound was overwhelming.

Zhao Zhuoran won the battle and defended the border. At the same time, he brought back a princess from the Northern Qiang Kingdom to marry, which was truly a double happiness.

The envoys and princess of the Northern Qiang Kingdom also became the focus of all the people in the capital.

The princess of the Northern Qiang Kingdom was dressed in exotic style. She was not only beautiful but also had a great figure.

This caused a cry of surprise among the people of the capital.

Finally they returned to the palace, where the emperor held a banquet to entertain the envoys and princess from the Northern Qiang Kingdom.

Jiang Jiu also attended the banquet.

Halfway through the banquet, the princess of Northern Qiang performed a dance in front of everyone.

I have to say that the princess of this country is really good at singing and dancing.

After the dance, the emperor was very happy.

"Well, the princess is multi-talented. If any young man wants to marry her, I will give him a marriage..."

But the princess refused and spoke in Daning dialect which was not very fluent.

"The person I want to marry needs to solve my three problems. Otherwise, the person I want to marry can only be my maid."

A marriage between two countries is actually a hostage between the two countries.

Marrying a maid is nothing but a hostage.

However, everyone is very curious about the question of Princess Beiqiang.

The emperor nodded and said, "Tell me about it."

Jiang Jiu was very confused and asked Zhao Zhuoxi quietly.

"According to normal logic, shouldn't she marry the Sixth Prince? Zhao Zhuoran has no wife, is not very old, and is a prince, so why doesn't she marry him?"

Zhao Zhuoxi pursed his lips: "It's possible that neither party is interested..."

Uh... Jiang Jiu was speechless.

Zhao Zhuoxi smiled and rubbed her face: "No."

"What if the enemy princess marries our marshal and is turned against us?"

Oh, so that's how it is. That's right. The marshal was guarding the national border, but the border was breached by the enemy using the beauty trap. What was the point of guarding the national border?

Therefore, the one who gets married to another is always an unimportant person in the royal family.

Rather than the powerful marshal who defends the city.

Princess Beidi showed all three problems.

One of the questions was actually a math problem.

Jiang Jiu just took a glance and lost interest.

"Princess, you love to learn. The questions you raised are very good. The ministers of Daning are all talented. Let them solve them."

There were many talented people in ancient times, especially those who were able to enter officialdom through the imperial examinations.

Sure enough, the first math problem was quickly solved by an old scholar from the Hanlin Academy.

The second one is dragged with a plate and covered with a red cloth.

When the red cloth was removed, Jiang Jiu exclaimed in surprise: "Tomatoes..."

Yes, Princess Beiqiang actually brought a tomato.

"What is this? As long as there is someone to eat, this princess will consider marrying him."

The old scholar who had just solved the problem walked forward tremblingly and took a closer look.

If he doesn't know this thing, he won't give up his life even though he is old.

He shook his head and retreated again.

Looking at the ministers in the imperial court, they all value their lives very much.

Seeing that Daning's momentum was about to be suppressed, Jiang Jiu suddenly stood up.

"I'll do it..."

Zhao Zhuoxi was distracted and saw Jiang Jiu getting up. He was so angry that he pulled Jiang Jiu's clothes.

Jiang Jiu dodged nimbly.

Princess Beidi didn't expect it was a woman and smiled.

"Madam, are you going to marry me too?"

Jiang Jiu shook his head gently: "No, if I am willing to taste it and tell you what it is, can the princess give me some of the seedlings of this fruit?"

Rice seedlings? When Princess Beidi heard this, she knew that she had definitely seen it before.

"You mean seeds? We do have some, and we've grown a lot, but we don't know what this thing is. Madam, be careful, it's poisonous."

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly: "It's no problem, bring the knife."

In full view of everyone, Jiang Jiu cut the tomato. It was a ripe tomato, full of juice and sandy inside. The scent of tomato could be smelled from a distance.

Unlike today, tomatoes grown in greenhouses no longer have the same flavor as before.

She cut it into crescent shapes, picked it up, and put a bite into her mouth.

"It's sour and sweet and delicious. Do you want one too?"

Seeing that she was eating happily, Princess Bei Qiang also picked up a piece to taste hesitantly.

Sure enough, it was sour and sweet and very delicious.

Zhao Zhuoxi had already come to Jiang Jiu's side at this time, and he also picked it up and took a sip.

"What on earth is this?"

"Tomatoes are a vegetable that can be used to make scrambled eggs, stewed beef, or stir-fried with a variety of vegetables. They are also a fruit that tastes refreshing and is rich in nutrients."

Princess Beiqiang was shocked when she heard Jiang Jiu's words.

"This was brought to us by someone from a Western country. After it was planted, it produced a lot of fruit. But why did our people get poisoned to death after eating it?"

Jiang Jiu was also puzzled: "You guys are not going to pick it and eat it before it turns red? It is indeed poisonous before it matures."

"But when it matures and turns red, it becomes a delicious food."

Princess Beiqiang suddenly realized: "Yes, that's how it is. I didn't expect that Daning is really full of talented people and has a wide range of knowledge. Just a woman knows so much."

"However, I have one last question for you."

Jiang Jiu looked at Princess Bei Qiang and clapped his hands, asking someone to carry in a large object.

"This is a musical instrument brought from a Western country. I will marry anyone who can play music better than the musicians here."

Playing the musical instrument, Jiang Jiu pulled Zhao Zhuoxi and prepared to go back.

She grew up in the Jiang family. Although she learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she had no feeling for musical instruments, mainly because she could not understand ancient music scores.

I don’t understand the Gong, Shang, Yu and Jiao music, but I can play one or two tunes.

It all depends on the memory of the previous life, which is rather troublesome, mainly because it has to be translated into a modern score.

Even if she wrote songs, the scores were written by others.

But just as they pulled the cloth down, Jiang Jiu was stunned.

"What the hell is this... Why is the piano here..."
