Chapter 216: Ugly, but Beautiful Thoughts
"Our Prince Jin is handsome and talented, and he admires your princess. I wonder if we can get married?"
Zheng Anning looked at the prince of the Yuezhi Kingdom with a mustache, gorgeous clothes, and a hat inlaid with colorful jewels.
It's so shiny and I want to button it.
[Bah, he looks ugly but thinks beautifully. This prince is his illegitimate son with the queen, and he praises him to the skies...]
[He is handsome and talented, but he looks like a pumpkin. Tsk! ]
Emperor Xuanwu hadn't said anything yet, but the court officials became angry when they heard what he said.
What kind of devil wants to marry our princess?
Everyone stared at Prince Yueming with anger.
[What special hobbies do these princes and nobles have? They like to use beautiful women's bodies for painting. Otherwise, they are really good at having fun! ]
[When he was happy, he used his human body as a brush. Hey, did he think that if he stuck two green onions on his nose, he would be an elephant? ]
What? Using the human body as a brush? How?
Why are the princes and nobles of this country so evil?
Leng Yushi stepped forward and said, "Our princess is still young, and has not yet married. You are simply immoral and disrespectful to society, and you are even marrying someone else. Pah!"
"That's right. How could a princess from our Great Zhou marry into a tiny country like yours?"
"Yes, this prince looks just like us.
The princess's body is not worthy of him."
The court officials were furious and started to curse the envoy from Yueming Kingdom.
No, what happened to him? Didn’t he just propose a marriage?
If you are not happy, then you are not happy!
"My lords, do you have any objections to our prince? Although our country cannot compare with yours, we will not allow you to insult us." The prince of Yueming Kingdom immediately frowned.
[Ugh, you're angry already? Why don't you guys have a fight and pull his hat off, and I'll secretly pick it up and take the gem off it.]
Zheng Anning watched the show while calculating on his abacus.
Censor Leng's face turned dark, and he wanted to point at Zheng An Ning's scalp and curse, "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
The abacus beads bounced onto his face.
"You were the first to offend me," Censor Leng said honestly, with a look of disgust on his face.
Seeing the awkward situation, the Prince of Yueming Kingdom hurried over to smooth things over. "Calm down, everyone. My uncle did not say anything wrong. I do admire your princess's Feng Yi."
"Besides, your Majesty has not spoken a word, so as subjects, are you disobeying him?"
Prince Yueming glanced at the few people with a sharp gaze, and kept saying that they were committing treason.
Emperor Xuanwu and the Queen looked at each other and showed disgusted expressions. Then they thought about what Zheng Anning said about it looking like a squash. It did look like one, just like a short winter melon.
Emperor Xuanwu coughed twice and said, "Alright, Prince, you are worrying too much. They are not rebellious. We are always easy-going at banquets. As for our princess, she is still young. You are so old, I think you have been married for a long time."
【Hahahaha, good fellow, every sentence you say is a dirty word, every sentence is calling people toads, hahahahahahahaha! 】
Zheng Anning was so excited watching the show that he drank a whole pot of fermented rice wine without realizing it.
Zheng Wanning also covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this. That's right, look at them, their mouths are as poisonous as if they were all, either they are old, or they are pretending to be a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.
The prince of Yueming Kingdom immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is wrong. Isn't there a poem in your country that says, 'A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman?'"
"Tsk, is that prince a gentleman?" Censor Leng asked suddenly from the side.
"This prince, isn't that related to a gentleman?"
Censor Leng looked at the hairstyle of the prince of Yueming Kingdom. Not only did he not wear a hat, but his hairstyle was extremely shocking. He had shaved his head into a yin-yang style, with only hair in the middle of his scalp, and it was braided into a sky-high braid.
It was so ugly that he couldn't bear to look at it.
"We have an old saying in the Great Zhou Dynasty, 'The hair on your body is given by your parents.' No matter if you are a man or a woman, you must take care of your hair. For your prince... this is simply unsightly!" Zheng Yuanshan, who was also sitting in his seat, looked at the prince's hairstyle and complained.
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha, Dad, you might as well just say that he is ugly. It's like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh," Zheng An Ning said with a smile.
Zheng Yuanshan glared at his daughter when he heard this. You know
That's it, why say it out loud?
Zheng Anning finally realized it and covered her mouth. [Oops, I spit.]
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall burst into laughter.
“Hahahahahahaha~~”
Listening to the laughter coming one after another, the prince of Yueming Kingdom turned pale and pale.
"Hmph, you, the Great Zhou, call yourself a country of etiquette, yet you openly insult us. Do you want to go to war with us in Yueming?" The prince of Yueming asked angrily with his neck stiff.
"And you little girl, when men are talking, when is it the women's turn to interrupt?"
"No, no, my little girl is playful and has no control over her words. She likes to say whatever she wants when she drinks." Zheng Yuanshan rolled his eyes.
"As for our Great Zhou, there is no such thing as women being unable to speak."
"That's right. You, Yueming, have so many local rules and regulations, yet you dare to come and propose marriage." Zhao Wuwei interrupted loudly.
“Is your country going too far? Although Yueming is a small country, they have come from far away to celebrate your birthday. Is this how you treat guests?” Saint Tianfeng had seen enough of the show, so she spoke up to help Yueming out.
This sentence directly brought shame upon their Great Zhou, causing several envoys to look indignant.
"That's right, that's right. You guys are big countries, so small countries like us don't deserve respect?"
"Yes, it's just a marriage proposal. If she doesn't want to, then she doesn't want to. Is it necessary to humiliate her like this?"
"Yup!"
"......"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanwu coughed lightly and threatened: "Our country is not competing with anyone, and I have no intention of insulting anyone. There are differences in etiquette and culture between countries, and my daughter is indeed still young, less than fifteen years old.
Furthermore, the prince is indeed old, and what he said is all true. It is not an insult, but it is more straightforward. Moreover, the prime minister's daughter is young, only ten years old, just a yellow-mouthed child, and her childish face is naturally innocent. "
"Are you guys even going to be so picky about a child's words? This is not what a gentleman does!"
Emperor Xuanwu's Pilipala's speech left the envoys speechless and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
What he said does make some sense. Besides, the other party had already politely refused, but their Yueming country still insisted on marrying the woman.
Besides, this prince is really not that good. He is already quite old, but he still yearns for a young girl. He is simply not a human being.
The prince and the prince of Yueming Kingdom wanted to say something, but they had nothing to refute, so they kept silent. However, the prince silently took note of Zheng An Ning.
The Saintess of Tianfeng Country was not willing to give in. She said calmly, "The princess of your country is young. Is there only one princess? Can the prince of Yueming Country wait for the princess to marry him? Or do you think the prince of Yueming Country is not worthy of the princess? Or do you think Yueming Country is too young?"
