"Lord Peng, how are you doing lately? This matter is really cumbersome, one process after another, it is enough to drag the province of this king, I can't come to negotiate with Lord Peng, it's really ashamed, fortunately, today this king is finally busy with the affairs in hand for the time being, and I came to negotiate with Lord Peng about the marriage of the emperor's brother, Lord Peng don't be surprised." ”

"Don't dare, the minister also knows that His Royal Highness King Rui has a noble status, trivial matters are complicated, King Rui has worked hard these days about the marriage of my princess, how dare the minister feel that His Royal Highness King Rui is lazy, since His Royal Highness King Rui has free today, then I don't know that His Royal Highness King Rui may negotiate with the minister, so as to save the delay of the two of them on a good day and auspicious day, His Royal Highness Rui Wang thinks?"

"Lord Peng, is this saying that this king deliberately neglected the princess and delayed the auspicious day?"

"Don't dare, it's an honor for His Royal Highness King Rui to take out time for us, how dare you ask too much, then I don't know if Your Highness may start now, after all, the customs of the two countries are different, and there are some details, I'm afraid I have to negotiate one or two carefully. ”

Peng Yifei suppressed the anger of being left out in the cold for nearly a month, although he knew that the Northern Zhou Dynasty was defeated, this time he said that he came to make peace, it was better to say that he came to beg for peace, since he came to beg for peace, Peng Yifei was naturally ready to be snubbed, or even coldly spoken. But the arrogance of Nanyue is still beyond imagination, except for the first time when the Yue Emperor summoned him, and roughly agreed on the selection with his relatives, in the past nearly a month, not to mention the Ministry of Rites, even the officials of Honglu Temple have not paid attention to them. In the past month, Peng Yifei's only progress is to learn about the general situation in Jinling City through Qianbao Pavilion, but unfortunately Xu Bi is not there, otherwise she must know how to open the situation.

"Father's meaning, since it is to marry, marry and obey the husband, all etiquette laws should naturally be handled in accordance with my Dayue's etiquette system, for this point, the Ministry of Rites has begun to handle it, and after a few days the Ministry of Rites will arrange things, naturally there will be officials from the Ministry of Rites to come to teach the princess etiquette, and I hope the princess will prepare well. "King Rui is arrogant, putting on a winner's posture, the arrogance of the King Rui can be suppressed hard, and if he does it well, he will naturally be favored.

Peng Yifei's eyes were about to erupt with fire, but he still couldn't react on his face. "His Royal Highness King Rui," Peng Yifei arched his hand according to Zhou Li, "In the final analysis, this marriage is a happy event that the people of the two countries like to see, it represents the eternal marriage between our two countries, the exchange of what we have, the symbol of peace and reciprocity, it condenses the ardent expectations of the millions of people in the two countries, and the compassion of the saints of the two countries for the people's expectation of peace is a symbol of loving the people like a son.

Before leaving Beijing, the minister also went to visit Princess Qin'an, she also thought so, in order to show sincerity, His Majesty specially added a lot of objects with Yue customs to the princess's dowry to show sincerity, looking at the husband and wife Qin Se and Ming, raising eyebrows, but I don't know if your country is also willing to show the corresponding sincerity for the people of the two countries, in order to appease the people, conform to the will of heaven, after all, this marriage is not a Yue family, His Royal Highness said yes?"

"This is natural, my Dayue is naturally sincere, so this wedding, the regulations are like the crown princess's guard of honor, such an honor, but it is also very enjoyable, which shows the sincerity of my father. ”

Honor, who to show if you are high up. Peng Yifei gritted his teeth, but he still didn't dare to say anything, but there were some gestures that he still had to pose.

"Naturally, Your Majesty's sincerity can be seen naturally, I have always heard that Your Majesty is very good to visit, the last time the Xishu delegation visited, Your Majesty was to Xishu etiquette to entertain, the guests and hosts were happy. Last time was the visit of the mission, this time my Zhou Kingdom is to send relatives, I want to come to this relationship is a little closer than Xishu, if so, should Your Majesty at least treat everyone equally, if it makes the people feel cold, won't it go against the original intention of the two saints?

"Hahaha, naturally it won't be the same, how can the visit of the mission be compared with the family affairs of the two countries, since it can't be compared, then this rule should be different, I Dayue has always been a heavy courtesy, different sincerity, different regulations, the etiquette of welcoming guests should also be different, this king understands the feelings of Lord Peng, the sincerity of your country I Dayue already knows, I Dayue also attaches great importance to this family matter, naturally to show greater sincerity than your country, in this way, this king will go back today, and discuss with the Ministry of Rites again, this king must let Lord Peng see the sincerity of my Dayue, I don't know what Lord Peng wants？”

This is not a master who is easy to entangle, he looks smiling on the surface, he is neither humble nor arrogant in his bones, and he has no sense of harmony, and this arrogance must be suppressed.

Yes, His Royal Highness King Rui is thoughtful, and it is better to obey his orders than to be respectful. ”

Peng Yifei sent off King Rui with a smile, and then he took a breath of relief, and returned to the inner courtyard leisurely, only to see Princess Chilian in red sitting in the middle of the courtyard, holding a volume of Tao Te Ching in her hand, and she could see God. Princess Chilian saw Peng Yi flying over from a distance, her expression tightened, she put down the Tao Te Ching in her hand, and sighed.

"Are they still ready to hang us like that?"

"It's... , There's no way, who let us beg for a kiss, they naturally have the capital to play face, and it can be regarded as suppressing our arrogance, it's just been left dry for more than a month, and it's enough. ”

"Forget it, it's just a little more than a month, it's nothing, it's much cleaner here than in the Northern Zhou Palace, and it's good that no one comes to disturb it, so it's rare to be quiet and quiet. Chi Lian smiled indifferently, turned his hand and gave Peng Yi a cup of tea, and motioned for him to come over.

Peng Yifei was not polite, but after sitting down, he couldn't help but speak: "They gave this dismount, the more they let them succeed, not only Da Zhou's face was lost, but you will be in King Ning's Mansion in the future, and you will not be able to raise your head, and the days will be even more sad, I also heard two days ago that King Ning personally went to Emperor Yue to ask Emperor Yue to marry the second daughter of the Duke of Qi as a side concubine, and it is said that Emperor Yue has agreed." Qi Guogong's family guarded the Northern Xinjiang New Year's greetings, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty blood sea deep enmity is indescribable, besides, I heard that King Ning and the second lady have a deep and righteous relationship, although I don't know her temperament, but the military generals are from a family, a few are good to get along with, if you really serve a husband with her, I'm afraid you really don't have a good life, and your temperament is..."

Chi Lian smiled softly, "It's not in the way, I don't fight with her for anything, if she really comes, I'm afraid she won't get what she wants, she has no intention of fighting, and what is there to be afraid of, she will find it boring sooner or later, besides, I represent the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and behind me stands my father and emperor, standing the imperial brother, even if it is for the friendship and face of the two countries, she can't do anything to me, if something really happens, she can't explain." ”

Peng Yifei wanted to say something, but after looking at Chi Lian, he couldn't say anything, turned around a few times, and had to sigh.

"Brother Peng, you don't have to worry about me, I will definitely be fine, even if it is for my mother, I will be fine, it is useless to think too much, I still promised Brother Seven, I will not regret it, I didn't think about anything when I came here, I will eventually die in a foreign land, not in South Vietnam, but in the Northern Desert, thinking about it like this, the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River seem to be much better, Brother Peng, do you say yes. ”

In the end, Peng Yifei just sighed slowly in her soft smile: "You don't know who you followed, and you came here, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, it's just a pity... Pity... Brother Peng doesn't have anything to do for you, he can only get back a little more face for you at this time, so that he won't be bullied again in the future. ”

"Chi Lian knows, thank you Brother Peng, in fact, Brother Peng doesn't need to bother so much with me, Sister Xu still hasn't been able to find it?"

"No, I asked for a long time in Qianbao Pavilion, not to mention that I knew where it was, I didn't even seem to know who she was, it seemed that I didn't want to tell me, I couldn't do anything for the time being, so I could only watch while walking. ”

"Why did the imperial brother suddenly let us come to Jinling to find Sister Xu? I always felt that the imperial brother knew something, but the imperial brother refused to say anything, Sister Xu is really in Jinling?"

"I don't know, I hope I can't find her, Yandu is not a good place for her, don't go back, let's just pretend to look for her, if she really avoids us, no one can find her, that's it, that's it, anyway, I can't find it, who can find who goes." Peng Yifei smiled, posing as a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and gritted his teeth a little, Chi Lian looked at it and laughed, "Sister Xu, you have learned the scoundrel kung fu." ”
