Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

When Shen Li and the Shen family saw that everyone around them had knelt down, they quickly knelt down as well, otherwise they would be too conspicuous standing there.

Lin Cuicui and Xu Taohua touched the pad under their knees and finally understood why Ali gave this to them before entering the palace. It turned out that she had already had a plan in mind.

To be honest, this banquet is really hard to describe. We were kneeling down and standing up all the time. If our knees were not thick enough, our skin would have been rubbed off.

Pei Yu also stepped forward and said, "I wish His Majesty good health and longevity, peace in the world, good fortune and happiness, and eternal rest for His Majesty."

"Please stand up, Mr. Pei."

The gift given by the friend was neither outstanding nor backward, it was just an ancient painting. Xie Yunci was very happy when he saw it in the end. He whispered to the eunuch beside him to put away the painting and send it to the imperial concubine's palace after the banquet.

What followed was the gifts presented by various ministers. Shen Li and the others were so tired of listening to so much of it that they were almost calloused.

Finally, it was the foreign envoys who came to see my sister. A group of foreign envoys dressed in strange costumes came outside.

After pausing, he awkwardly performed a Northern Yan etiquette, "I wish the Emperor of Northern Yan good fortune as vast as the East Sea, longevity as great as the Southern Mountains, good health, and peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

The corners of Xie Yunci's eyes twitched. From this blessing, people who didn't know him would have thought he was in his forties.

It is understandable that they are foreigners, and it is also understandable that they do not understand the culture of the Central Plains.

A Tibetan envoy stepped forward and said, "I wish the Northern Emperor's blessings will continue and his prosperity will be endless. This time we have brought our Princess Saihan with us, hoping to form an alliance with Northern Yan."

In fact, they came here because of Xie Yunci. The throne of Queen Bei was vacant. Although they, a princess of a foreign race, could not become the queen, it was good enough to get a concubine now.

Soon an ambassador from Wusun came forward and said, "Northern Emperor, we have also brought our Princess Surina to present to His Majesty the Emperor."

……

Xie Yunci didn't react yet. Many small countries came this time. These three countries were the leaders and they were the most powerful among the small countries. They all brought princesses with them for the purpose of marriage.

He glanced at the imperial concubine beside him. Well, there was no reaction. Instead, she was smiling at the three beauties below. However, the smile on her lips looked so fake.

Shen Li also looked at the three foreign princesses in front of the hall. They all had their own unique looks. Perhaps they had agreed not to be of the same type.

"Oh, really? I wonder which handsome man from Beiyan the three princesses have taken a fancy to?"

Princess Saihan was wearing a relatively tight-fitting dress, revealing half of her sexy waist. Her face was covered by a red veil, revealing her eyebrows and eyes that were deep and three-dimensional.

"Emperor Beiyan, is there anyone we like who can arrange a marriage for us?"

Xie Yunci raised his lips slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and nodded, "Yes, but you have to be unmarried."

Saihan nodded, "Of course, I'm not the kind of person who would break up a couple."

Xie Yunci looked at the other two princesses again, "You too."

Su Rina also stepped forward. There was no veil on her face. She looked like a gentle and quiet princess.

"Northern Emperor, if there is no man you like, can I enter your harem?"

As soon as she said this, her purpose became very clear, but her frankness made many people look at her a few more times.

Xie Yunci nodded, "Yes."

"Thank you, Northern Emperor."

There was also Princess Yuyan who did not speak. From her back, one could tell that she was a princess with a cold personality.

"Then please go ahead, the three princesses. We in Beiyan have never lacked good men. It is a great honor to be chosen by the three princesses. It doesn't matter if you are not chosen tonight."

After saying this, Xie Yunci glanced at the person sitting next to him, reached out and picked up an orange on the table, peeling it slowly.

The three princesses looked at the young men sitting in the hall. They only looked at those who were unmarried. If there were any men with wives by their side, they would not look at them at all.

The other two princesses hesitated. In fact, for them, marrying ordinary people was much better than entering the Northern Emperor's harem. Their country was really not big, and there were so many fights in the harem, not to mention the Northern Yan's palace.

However, they came with a mission, but they were unwilling to give up.

There was no need to get entangled with the other two princesses. Saihan did not hesitate too much. After scanning the hall, his eyes fell directly on Pei Yu.

"I guess this is the brave and warlike King Jingnan, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall immediately became quiet, and many people looked at Pei Yu who was sitting at the top.

Xie Yunci paused for a moment while peeling the orange to reveal its veins. Well, it must be said that this princess has good taste.

Glancing sideways, I saw the imperial concubine's sparkling eyes. It was obvious that she was bored, and now there was something interesting to watch.

She covered her lips with her hands and whispered to the man beside her, "Hey, didn't you say that King Jingnan already has a fiancée? How do you think he will deal with this tonight?"

Xie Yunci pushed the peeled orange in front of her and said, "Don't think about it, she will definitely refuse."

"Ok."

"Don't be disappointed yet. There might be something interesting to watch tonight. You haven't eaten all night. Eat some oranges."

"Yeah, okay."

The Shen family also looked at Shen Li worriedly, "A Li, you..."

Shen Li shook her head to show them that she was fine. She was already used to Pei Yu's ability to attract many people.

What's more, if Pei Yu agreed, she wouldn't have to rely on him.

Pei Yu did not answer immediately, but played slowly with a wine glass in his hand.

Princess Saihan was not angry either. She looked at Pei Yu and continued, "I heard that the prince won a great victory in the battle with the Tatars this time. Saihan admires him very much."

She looked at Xie Yunci who was sitting at the top of the table, "Your Majesty, the prince is brave and good at fighting. Saihan has had a crush on Prince Jingnan for a long time. After seeing him today, I like him even more. I hope Your Majesty will grant this wish."

Many ladies from prominent families in the hall looked at her, some with contempt, some with envy, some with jealousy, and some admired her courage.

Bai Shuran's eyes were filled with anger. How could someone get there first? What if his brother-in-law agreed?

Xie Yunci looked at Pei Yu, "I wonder what King Jingnan thinks about this?"

Everyone looked at Pei Yu. Bai Shuran was also very nervous. She jumped out without waiting for Pei Yu to answer.

"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask."

"Oh, it's Miss Bai Er, stand up and talk."

The reason why I got to know Bai Shuran was all because of the imperial concubine beside me.

When the imperial concubine saw Bai Shuran jump out at this time, a guess came to her mind, and her guess was soon confirmed.

Pei Yu was still sitting there. He already knew what Xie Yunci wanted to do, which was to watch him have fun.

Bai Shuran not only did not stand up, but knelt directly on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have been in love with Prince Jingnan for many years, I hope you can help me."

哗

The hall seemed to be poured with boiling water. It had been a long time since they had seen two women fighting for one man at a royal banquet.
