King Xin reigned, has been very good to the people, no reckless soldiers, no excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, although the people's life is not very rich, but it is also considered to live and work in peace and contentment, so they are very respectful to King Xin, King Xin's birthday, they will offer heartfelt blessings.
King Xin is sympathetic to the people and does not like extravagance. Unless it is an important day of sacrifice, there is nothing too lively and luxurious in Xinguo in normal times. Xin Guoguo is small and light, and there are few special people who come to Xin Guo.
King Xin's birthday was originally just a spontaneous celebration by his own people, and the congratulatory gifts from other countries were just a formality. But this year, all countries have invariably brought heavy gifts and sent princes and ministers. The people of Xin saw it for the first time. From the moment they entered the kingdom of Xin, the people rushed to watch with curiosity.
When the envoys of the Shang Kingdom entered the city, the procession was so vast that it was not until the palace that they completely entered the city. The people poured out to see the excitement, they had never seen it before, crowded on the side of the road, and there was a lot of discussion. The momentum of the great country is really extraordinary, in addition to the neat and solemn procession, there are also hundreds of cars full of gifts.
At the head of the Shang procession were three white high-headed handsome horses, and on the middle horse sat a tall and heroic man, who was dressed in a red robe, and the red robe was embroidered with a large number of Xuanyu patterns, which set off his sturdy posture and extraordinary temperament. On the horse to his right, sat a young man in a purple robe, his black hair tied by purple ropes, his chest held high, and his spirit and heroism exuded. On the right horse, the young man sitting was dressed in plain green clothes, with thick eyebrows and a righteous face.
The people looked at it and praised it. The merchant envoys were the last to arrive. Sending such emissaries and processions to congratulate their king on his birthday made them feel that they had a good face.
The eldest prince Cong Hua was ordered by his father to bring guards to greet him, followed by Tianyuan and Tianyue.
The one in the red robe in front of the team is Xiao Bogong, he has been to Xin Country twice, and Cong Hua is in charge of reception, the two are familiar with each other, Tianyuan and Tianyue He have also seen them, so they meet each other and raise their hands to greet each other from afar.
When they got closer, everyone dismounted, Bo Gong and Cong Hua's hands were tightly clasped together, the smile on their faces was just right, and then he greeted the Tianyuan Tianyue brothers. The Tianyuan brothers are naturally also very enthusiastic.
After some greetings, Bo Gong introduced the Conghua brothers to the young man in purple clothes behind him was his second brother Xiao Changyu. And the young man in green clothes behind Chang Yu is Xiao Qingran, the son of the current king of Shangguo. They were all coming to Xin for the first time.
Cong Huachao Chang Yu showed a kind smile, and then solemnly looked at Xiao Qingran in Tsing Yi, his dress was not gorgeous, his facial features were upright, his eyes were blazing, he was straight, and he was upright.
Bo Gong introduced him, he pursed his lips and stiffly bowed to Cong Huawei, looking a little rusty and nervous, but not afraid. Cong Hua nodded secretly.
When Bo Gong was talking to Brother Tianyue of Tianyuan, he noticed that behind Tianyue there had been standing a woman in lilac clothes. She didn't speak, she stood in front of the male guards, and looked at him and Chang Yu and the others coldly not far away. In such a welcoming procession, how could there be a woman. Looking at the look on her face, there was arrogance in the coldness. and her clothes, a faint plain dress, seem ordinary, but at the waist and cuffs of the dress, the delicate pattern of gold thread embroidery reveals its unique and valuable value.
Bo Gong couldn't help but guess the identity of the woman. The country of Xin is still martial, and there are special female guards. But her expression and dress are by no means like a guard. This woman is only a teenager, and she can stay by the side of Tianyuan and Tianyue brothers so casually and calmly...... Bo Gong's heart flipped up, but his face did not change at all. He peeked at Qingran, and Qingran didn't seem to look at the woman.
He came to Xin Kingdom twice, and stayed in Xin Country for nearly three months, but he didn't see Yu Zimo, the princess of Xin KingdomβI heard that this princess rarely stayed in the palace and liked to hang out outside.
He thought that he would have the opportunity to meet Yu Zimo at King Xin's birthday banquet this time, and he was still thinking about what kind of posture he had to appear in her sight in order to attract her attention, but he didn't expect her to appear like this, and she appeared so suddenly, which caught him and Chang Yu a little off guard.
But it's okay that she doesn't reveal her identity, and she can pretend not to know, so that what she does will not be suspected.
Guessing the identity of the woman, Bo Gong couldn't help but look at the woman again, with light eyebrows and apricot eyes, peach cheeks and cherry lips, a face that is better than a delicate flower, looking like a clear moon, and her natural demeanor is noble and charming enough. She is worthy of being the princess of Xinguo!
"Let us go in, the king is waiting for you in the main hall. Cong Hua made a gesture of invitation and said to Bo Gong and the others.
When he entered, Chang Yu came to the eldest brother. He had apparently noticed the woman behind Tianyue as well. The woman was so unworldly, and with the fact that she stood there without intent on stepping forward and concealing it, it was hard not to be noticed.
"Big brother, have you seen the woman behind Tianyue? Is she the guard of the Xin Kingdom?Are all the women of the Xin Kingdom so beautiful?" Chang Yu could barely retract his gaze.
"Be careful with your words and deeds, and don't be rude. Bo Gong reminded Chang Yu. Chang Yu admitted his mistake and reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
Cong Hua led everyone into the main hall. King Xin was already sitting in the main hall. Bo Gong led Chang Yu, Qingran and others to bow to King Xin, and on behalf of King Shang, he greeted King Xin and offered a birthday gift. King Xin smiled slightly and asked them to get up, "Thank you, your king." After he finished speaking, his gaze moved from the faces of Bo Gong and the others in turn. When he moved to Qing Ran's body, he withdrew his gaze.
This is the son of the new Shang King. It looks good. He entered the main hall and kept following Bo Gong and Chang Yu, and kept a distance from them. They saluted him, and he saluted stiffly, but he did not speak, as if he had no intention of speaking.
"You are Xiao Qingran" King Xin was silent for a moment and asked Xiao Qingran directly.
Xiao Qingran should have expected King Xin to ask himself, so he didn't hesitate, lowered his head slightly, and replied clearly, "Yes." β
"How is your father?"
"It's fine. β
"First time in my Xin country?"
"Yes. β
"How does it feel?"
"It's fine. β
β¦β¦
King Xin smiled and said to Bo Gong and the others, "You have come from afar and worked hard. Then he said to the eldest prince, Conghua, who was in charge of receiving them, "Take them to a resting place, and don't be lazy." β
Cong Hua commanded,
Leaving the main hall, Cong Hua was in front and led them to the residence prepared for them in advance. The Tianyue Tianyuan brothers are also there. Bo Gong noticed that the woman in purple was missing, Yu Zimo.
"The dinner party took place after the palm of the lamp. Take a break, and I'll pick you up then. Cong Hua said, "I still have to make some preparations for the dinner, so I won't accompany me." β
