Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen
Chapter 185: Cede Territory and Pay Compensation or Submit to the Ministers
Among the Beidi delegation, there was a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes.
He always wore a scarf, wrapped himself tightly, and pretended to be the princess's servant.
So no one paid attention, but who knew that when the piano was placed up, he lifted up his headscarf, sat in front of the piano, and a series of notes began to play.
Then he did play a nice tune.
However, the people of Daning have never seen this thing before. The music is very nice, but they don’t know how to play it.
Jiang Jiu was angry. Isn't this bullying?
"Give them a flute, but they can't even play it. What about the suona and guqin? What's the point of showing off that lousy piano here?"
Looking at the people of Daning in the court looking at each other in confusion, Princess Beidi was extremely arrogant.
If no one among them could play this huge thing, she would have to take the delegation back.
She didn't want to marry someone from Daning, because Beidi was much better than Daning.
They completely forgot that they were the defeated country.
The other ministers lost face and asked Zhao Zhuoran for help.
"Your Highness, what is this thing? Do you know how to do it? Think of a way."
Zhao Zhuoran didn't know either, and had never seen the Northern Di people play this kind of instrument. Besides, he was going to fight, not to appreciate the instrument.
After the song, all the Beidi people applauded.
Their envoys held their chins high and spoke the not-so-fluent Daning dialect.
"Your Majesty, is there anyone who knows this? If not, we have to go home. Our Princess of Beidi wants to marry a man who is both civil and military, not just anyone can marry him."
The emperor's face also looked very unhappy, and it was obvious that he was trying his best to endure it.
At this time, Jiang Jiu whispered to Zhao Zhuoxi: "I can play it. I have seen this thing. However, the princess cannot marry you. Go and ask His Majesty for a condition..."
Zhao Zhuoxi stood up and had a very arrogant attitude.
"It's just a piano. Not to mention the others in Daning, even my princess can play it. But Your Majesty... Princess Beidi clearly looks down on us... She asked three questions in a row to embarrass us. I think even if we win, we should give them some counterattack."
The emperor agreed: "What are you going to do?"
Zhao Zhuoxi smiled confidently: "We won, which shows that Beidi is a small country. We don't need a princess to marry, but we want them to submit to us and pay tribute to us every year with beautiful women, gold and silver..."
When he said this, the court officials below were all furious.
On the one hand, I think Zhao Zhuoxi is too arrogant, and on the other hand, I think he should raise his ambition with Daning.
But they said they had never seen that thing before, so how could Princess Zhaoyang’s granddaughter play it?
All the court officials of Daning stood up and said, "I second the motion."
Zhao Zhuoran also stood up: "I think it's okay."
It was the Northern Di people's turn to look at each other in bewilderment.
Maybe they never thought they would lose.
The Beidi princess looked unhappy, and the Beidi delegation discussed for a long time before answering.
"We need to discuss this with our king..."
Zhao Zhuoxi snorted coldly: "As a defeated country, what's there to discuss? Just fight back."
Zhao Zhuoran also agreed: "Do you still want to fight?"
Finally, the Northern Di envoys said, "If we lose, we can cede territory and pay compensation, but we will never submit to our rule."
Zhao Zhuoxi smiled evilly: "You still have some backbone, Sixth Brother, you are not good enough, you didn't scare them..."
Zhao Zhuoran was silent.
Princess Beidi remained firm: "Let's play it first and see what happens later. It's useless to say anything now..."
Just play it.
Jiang Jiu came to the piano and adjusted the position of the stool first. Her legs were not as long as the legs of the blue-eyed man just now, so she moved the stool forward.
Then, he played a few more keys to test the pitch.
When testing the pitch, everyone thought she was going to play, but unexpectedly, there was no tune at all.
Just when the people of Daning showed confusion on their faces and the people of Beidi were about to look complacent.
A series of beautiful melodies flowed from Jiang Jiu's fingers.
To be honest, Jiang Jiu's family is not well off, and she is not a professional piano student.
It happened that when she was in college, she participated in a club activity and was forced to practice a "Turkish March" for half a year.
I can play it, but I can only play this one song.
Sure enough, there is a saying that is true: anything you learn when you are young will definitely be useful in the future.
If it were in modern times, Jiang Jiu would never dare to embarrass himself by doing so.
But this was in ancient times.
The cheerful melody flowed wildly under her fingertips, and when she finished playing, it drew applause from the court officials of Daning.
"It sounds good, it sounds so good."
At this time, Jiang Jiu angrily took the flute from the band member next to him and handed it to the blue-eyed musician.
“Music knows no borders, and playing an instrument simply requires skill.”
"I've never seen the piano you brought, but we can play many instruments, and you might not be able to play them. For example, everyone in Daning can play the flute. Come and try... If you can't play a tune, you lose..."
The blue-eyed foreigner took the flute reluctantly.
He didn't even know how to blow it, so he put it upright to his mouth and tried it, and the people of Daning around him laughed at him.
At Jiang Jiu's request, the court musician came to teach him how to hold it.
As a result, the blue-eyed foreigner still failed to blow the flute, and shrugged helplessly and shook his head.
"I won't."
Jiang Jiu smiled: "See, this is not as good as our people, our people can learn without a teacher..."
The Northern Di people lost, and the emperor was overjoyed. The people of Daning gave thumbs up to Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoxi, and even Princess Zhaoyang was proud of it.
"This girl secretly learned this skill, and this princess didn't even know about it."
Whether to cede territory and pay compensation or to submit, the next thing is for the Ministry of Rites and Zhao Zhuoran.
After the banquet, Zhao Zhuoxi hugged Jiang Jiu and returned to the palace.
Jiang Jiu was in the spotlight today and was forced to drink a little too much. He had just taken a few steps when Zhao Zhuoxi picked him up sideways and held him in his arms.
"this is not good……"
Zhao Zhuoxi didn't care at all: "I'm my own princess, I can pamper her however I want, what's wrong with that?"
Besides, there is no one else in the palace.
Jiang Jiu leaned drunkenly in Zhao Zhuoxi's arms.
"Playing the piano today reminded me of the past..."
Jiang Jiu misses home.
In fact, when she blew up the palace, she had already thought about her death.
She is not afraid of death. After death, the worst that can happen is that she can go back or be reincarnated.
Unexpectedly, her soul was trapped by someone and she was reborn in someone else's body.
Don’t even mention how aggrieved I am.
Zhao Zhuoxi knew that Jiang Jiu had suffered a lot of grievances when she was a child, but she didn't know that she was actually a soul from another world.
There is no way to sympathize with Jiang Jiu.
As soon as I returned to the palace gate with her in my arms, I saw Zhao Zhuoran waiting there alone.
"Xiaojiu, you even gave up the throne for this woman. Is it worth it?"
