Chapter 200: Picking Livestock
Jiang Yan personally escorted Bai Hu Yaoyao out, "Thank you, Princess, for coming all the way here. Thank you, and thank you for saving my life. Jiang Yan will never forget this."
She was very grateful.
Since her mother passed away, no one has been able to care about her so much.
Her biological father doesn't care about her.
Now she felt the love of family from a girl she had only met once.
This girl is also her savior.
Baihu Yaoyao helped her up and came to help her today simply because she felt that Jiang Yan was a person she liked.
Although she is a woman, she has a tenacious character.
This kind of woman is not the kind who is confined to the harem.
What she admired most was actually her embroidery skills.
The embroidery on the fan was the most exquisite she had ever seen.
"Sister Yan, I just arrived in Manchester not long ago. We will be good sisters from now on. We can go shopping together when we have nothing to do."
It would also be nice to have a female friend to talk to.
She has almost no female friends around her, and her two senior sisters don't have time to play with her.
It’s not easy to find a good friend nowadays.
Jiang Yan smiled gently, "Okay! Whenever you want to go somewhere, you can always come find me to accompany you."
"Okay." Baihu Yaoyao got on the carriage and left.
Today is the palace banquet hosted by the Queen Mother, and the white fox Yaoyao was pulled up early by Shiliu to wash and dress up.
Everyone in Manchester knew why the Queen Mother held a palace banquet.
It was just to choose a concubine for her grandson.
All the ministers knew that the Queen Mother had set her sights on the Princess of the Regent's Palace, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
At the very least, their daughter will not be selected.
To put it bluntly, today's banquet is to select concubines for the princes. In addition to Xiao Yuheng, there are several other princes who also need to choose concubines.
There is also the crown prince, who also needs to choose a queen.
All the ladies from prominent families got up early and started dressing up.
Baihu Yaoyao sat in front of the mirror, unable to open her eyes. "Shiliu, do we really need to get up so early?"
Hua Chengzhou pestered her to come over several times last night, and she was completely exhausted.
Her strength has grown, and her needs in that area have also increased, but she still can't withstand the demands of these stinky men.
You still need to improve your strength!
Otherwise, how can she satisfy her husbands?
"Oh! Princess, you are the protagonist today, of course you have to dress up nicely?" Shi Liu combed her smooth long hair, feeling extremely envious.
The princess has such beautiful hair!
Baihu Yaoyao closed her eyes and said, "I'm just here to watch the fun. I don't want to be the protagonist."
She was not going to marry Xiao Yuheng, but to see the Queen Mother's face when she got angry because Xiao Yuheng did not do things according to the Queen Mother's arrangements.
At this banquet, the Queen Mother asked Xiao Yuheng to be attentive to her, and preferably to rob her of her innocence.
Baihu Yaoyao sneered, thinking that the empress dowager had lived in vain for so many years, and she actually used such a trick to deal with her.
No matter what kind of poison or aphrodisiac it was, it had no effect on her. The Queen Mother's plan was likely to fail.
"Princess, I heard that Cui Baozhu from the Prime Minister's Mansion will also be there. You must be careful. He is determined to win over Prince Xiao." Shi Liu looked at her worriedly.
The white fox smiled lazily, "Are you talking about that arrogant and domineering Baozhu County Master?"
"Yes! It's her." Shi Liu seemed to have a lot of opinions about the Baozhu County Master.
"It's okay, let's go!" Baihu Yaoyao got up and went out.
Speaking of Princess Baozhu, she was still a lovesick person.
Xiao Yuheng has a hidden illness, but there are people who love him to death.
The one who likes her is Cui Baozhu, the young lady from the Empress Dowager's mother's family, who is also Xiao Yuheng's cousin.
This cousin of the Cui family was determined to marry Xiao Yuheng and even killed many women who wanted to marry him. She was a cruel and ruthless person.
Logically speaking, it is a good thing that someone from the Cui family is willing to marry Xiao Yuheng, but the Queen Mother is unwilling to do so.
The fundamental reason was that the Queen Mother was afraid that the girl from the Cui family would also have this genetic disease, and that her future children would be doomed.
Over the years, the Queen Mother has been looking for women with good family backgrounds and no illnesses to marry Xiao Yuheng.
Unfortunately, the woman from the Cui family killed many people secretly, which made the Queen Mother very angry, but she could do nothing about her niece.
The reason why she was able to sit firmly on the throne of empress dowager in the harem was because of the military power of the Cui family.
The Queen Mother did not dare to offend her brother, who was now the Prime Minister.
This time, the Queen Mother focused her attention on Baihu Yaoyao because she was sure that the Regent would protect her daughter and would never let Cui Baozhu harm Baihu Yaoyao again.
Another thing is that Baihu Yaoyao comes from a small place and knows nothing, so she should be easy to control.
The Queen Mother would never have thought that Baihu Yaoyao's banquet was held just to help the girl from the Cui family and Xiao Yuheng get together.
Since the two of them have already decided to get married, why should she be the evil person who breaks them up?
It’s best to help them!
The white fox Yaoyao sat in a carriage and followed her father directly into the palace.
The banquet was held in the Imperial Garden, with the women's table in the center of the garden and the men's table around it.
The men's seats surrounded the women's seats in the middle, which was specially arranged to allow the men to see the women's appearance more clearly.
The white fox curled its lips and asked, "Are you picking animals?"
Let a group of women stand in the middle, and men stand around watching and picking any one they want?
Who came up with this weird idea?
What Baihu Yaoyao didn't know was that in the Mantuo Empire, flower-viewing banquets were held in this way, and this was the rule set by the founding emperor.
Yaoyao, the white fox, didn't want to be a monkey and be watched by others, so he had to go and sit in the pavilion.
"Princess." Jiang Yan saw the white fox Yaoyao as soon as she arrived here.
Why is she alone in the pavilion?
Yaoyao, the white fox, was feeling bored when she saw Jiang Yan coming.
"Sister Yan, you are here, come and sit next to me."
Baihu Yaoyao asked her to sit down.
Her father and brother went to the imperial study, so she had to play in the backyard by herself.
It’s just right to meet Jiang Yan.
They will go there together soon.
"Princess, why don't you go over? It's so boring to be here alone." Jiang Yan sat down next to her.
Baihu Yaoyao pointed at the women and asked, "Are you willing to go there and be watched by those men?"
Jiang Yan quickly shook her head. "I'm not going! I grew up in the countryside and never attended any banquets. Only after coming here did I realize that these flower-viewing banquets are actually attended like this."
"Princess, isn't this just like picking animals?"
Puff!
Baihu Yaoyao laughed out loud. Jiang Yan really didn't disappoint her. She had a really sharp tongue.
"You're right. Aren't these women in the middle there for the men to choose from?"
"I heard your father wants you to choose a husband at this banquet? Do you have anyone you like?"
"They want to pick on us, so why can't we pick on them? These men are also animals in my eyes."
Jiang Yan also laughed out loud, "Princess, you're absolutely right! They're just animals in our eyes!"
Thinking of something, he pouted again, "Princess, what do you think I should do? My father insisted that I choose a husband here, but I already have someone I like."
After a few days of getting along, the two have become good friends who can talk about anything. This is the first time that Jiang Yan has mentioned that she has someone she likes!
