Chapter 336: Yi Xiangti Marriage
Ji Lening felt a little pain in the hand that Ashina was holding, especially because the person in front of him was too close to him.
The look in his eyes was very explicit, burning and frightening, which frightened Ji Lening so much that he quickly broke free from his hand and stepped back.
"Please respect yourself, Princess Ashina."
The Tibetan envoys also felt embarrassed when they saw the actions of their eldest princess.
Yi Xiang and Hu Yanzhen both had black faces.
Ashina seemed to realize that he was being too reckless and coughed lightly to cover it up.
Just then, a loud shout was heard outside the hall.
"The Third Prince has arrived!"
A man walked in from outside the hall. He was dressed in white clothes as white as snow and walked slowly towards us.
The jet-black hair was combed into a neat bun on top of her head, and placed in an exquisite white jade hair crown, with light green tassels hanging from both sides of the jade crown and hairpin.
She has an elegant and ethereal figure, snow-white skin, a pair of eyes as clear as a stream, a tall and heroic nose, and lips as rosy as if they were painted with rouge.
His temperament is as gentle as orchid, gentle and graceful, and his every move shows the demeanor of a prince.
"Your son pays respects to your mother, the queen, and your father, the empress!"
Ji Yao saw Ji Ruxue, and her eyes softened slightly: "If you are not feeling well, there is no need to be polite. Get up."
Ji Ruxue said softly, "Yes, Queen Mother."
Ji Yao pointed at Ashina and the others and introduced them: "This is Princess Ashina, the one on the left is Yi Xiang, and the one on the right is General Hu Yanzhen."
Hearing this, Ji Ruxue lowered her eyes and bowed to Ashina and the others with dignity.
"Greetings to the Princess, Prime Minister, and General!"
Ashina looked at Ji Ruxue with amazement, and when she saw him saluting her, she hurriedly said.
"No need to be so polite, Third Prince. Please stand up."
"I've heard that the third prince is as beautiful as a fairy, but I've never seen him before. Now that I see him, he is indeed a fairy-like beauty."
Ashina did not hide his interest and admiration for Ji Ruxue. "Haha, no doubt, the princess gave a thumbs up in no time."
As a mother, she will naturally feel happy and proud when her son is praised.
Ji Lening was quite indignant when he saw this, and glared at Ji Ruxue hatefully.
Humph, why is it that Ji Ruxue is praised as soon as she appears, while he is scolded as soon as he appears?
The Queen Mother is so unfair!
At this time, Yi Xiang also brought up the matter of marriage.
She stood up and bowed to Ji Yao: "I have heard that your Majesty Dong Zhou ruled the world with benevolence, and your prince is even more famous. Today I see that his reputation is well-deserved."
"This time, we are sent to your country by the order of the King. We intend to form a marriage alliance with your country and ask for the marriage of our daughter to your prince. We hope that Her Majesty will agree."
"This……"
Ji Yao was slightly startled, her sharp eyes flashed, and she smiled awkwardly.
"Your country is willing to form an alliance with my Eastern Zhou, and I am naturally very happy to do so. However, there are many young talents of the right age and sons of famous families present here. I wonder which son your daughter has taken a fancy to?"
Although this was expected, His Majesty's words still caused many of the young men present to change their expressions.
Especially those noble sons who thought themselves noble were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They shrank their heads like quails, lowering their heads and wishing there was a big screen in front of them to block their views, hoping that they would not be chosen.
Of course, there were also some men who were instructed by their mothers to sacrifice themselves for the family's honor. Naturally, their behavior was different from other men, and each of them fought hard to be chosen.
Ji Ruxue sat in her seat with a pale face, biting her teeth lightly, and tightening her hands under her sleeves, feeling nervous and flustered.
Yi Xiang glanced at all the noble young men present, then turned to Ji Yao with a decent smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, the princess of our country is of noble status, so the man she marries must be of a status that matches her."
"We are sincerely seeking marriage, so the one we are marrying is naturally the prince of your country."
The implication is that no one else is worthy of Princess Ashina.
Besides, isn't it obvious which is more beneficial: marrying a son of a court official or marrying a prince?
