"If this king doesn't go to the court, it means that you can't wait to be on duty. Xing'er, do you think you should go?" Xiao Yichen sat still, letting Xing'er continue to comb the hair on the back of his head for him.

Xing'er, who pursed her lips and was unhappy, said very directly: "If someone is sick, Your Highness, you will not only come to see it many times a day, but also make people lie on the bed and can't move! Hmph, it's your turn to run around." ”

"Okay, okay, then the next time you get sick, this king will give you a tiring job, is it done?" Xiao Yichen smiled and began to tease again.

"Your Stinky Highness, no wonder Xiang'er wants to call you a big villain!" Xing'er glared at Xiao Yichen in his glasses dissatisfied, and her small mouth was raised to half a day to show her mood.

"Okay, don't count the stars and your Highness, today the court will discuss the arrangements for the envoy's visit, Your Highness has the responsibility of guarding, how can you not go. Yue'er carried a belt to Xiao Yichen's side, and after teaching her sister a lesson, she said to him softly: "Your Highness, please get up, the slave will give you this dragon jade ring." ”

"Good. After glancing at Xing'er behind her and finding that she had also finished tidying up, Xiao Yichen got up obediently, opened his arms and let Yue'er wear it, then took the jade bone fan from Xing'er's hand, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, the time is almost up." ”

"Wait, wait!" When a few people just wanted to start, Yu Xiaoxiang came with a large ball of thick clothes, and after stopping breathlessly, he shook it off directly, only then did he understand that it was a big coat, "It's snowing outside, put this on, otherwise you will have to wait at the door of the main hall for a while, and it will freeze." ”

Looking up at the snowy sky outside the temple gate, Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "Isn't this thing too exaggerated?"

"Do you want to wear it?" The little beauty who stared at her round eyes in an instant shouted without the slightest room for compromise.

"Wear, what do you give, what does this king wear!" Xiao Yichen said dotingly, turned around and stood up obediently.

The figure of the three little beauties is not tall, or simply Xiao Yichen himself is too tall, and he struggled to stand on tiptoe to put on a big coat for him, and the little beauties who were all sorted out around and around, and were satisfied, followed Xiao Yichen and left Lingxiao Palace.

It didn't take long to come to the square in front of the main hall of Guangming, and sure enough, as Yu Xiaoxiang's guess, all the generals of Wenchen needed to wait in the snow when they arrived. Although it is not cold enough to freeze to death, the environment of snow above your head and ice under your feet will still make people feel cold unconsciously.

Xiao Yichen's appearance is naturally the same as before, no matter what he thinks in his heart, but on the surface, the generals still have to maintain their respect, so as not to be charged with a big disrespect by this unreasonable prince.

As soon as the messy greetings were exchanged and the mutual praise was fought, the attendants in the edict had already announced that the ministers could enter the palace and wait.

It's still the same as before, the only thing that is good for Xiao Yichen is that he can take off the big hat that he thinks is very heavy, so that his body is more comfortable.

Before he finished drinking a cup of fragrant tea held by the waiter, Xiao Lingtian strode over with Xiao Cheng. After the hadith and the retribution are over, the Hajj will officially begin.

Sure enough, the focus of today's court meeting was all on the envoys of the countries that were about to arrive, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, who were the actual leaders, became the protagonists of today.

Xiao Yichen looked disinterested, listening to who and who was arranging in what place, and what he was going to give them as a return gift, etc., he almost yawned to pass the boring time.

After almost an hour of ruffling and grinding, the basic regulations had ended, and Yuwen Xiucheng, who had never spoken, finally walked out of the mud bodhisattva's condition, got up and knelt in the center of the hall, and said in a loud voice: "The old minister has a play. ”

"Left, please. There is a time when it is said allegedly. Xiao Lingtian raised his hand and motioned for Yuwen Xiucheng to get up and speak.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Yuwen Xiucheng bowed, and then got up and said: "Bai Wei, Semu and the envoys of the Northwest Countries, according to the diplomatic court, the Ministry of Rites is the main envoy, and the assistant of the Zongren Department has been able to fulfill his etiquette. However, the Northern Qi Dynasty stated in its letter of state that in its mission, in addition to the crown prince Li Xian as the main envoy, there was also the seventh princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Li Yao, as the deputy envoy. In their letter of state, they said that the Seventh Princess admired Prince Lingxiao's great martial arts and hoped to invite His Royal Highness Xinggang to meet him. The old minister did not dare to be specialized, and specially asked His Majesty to make a holy judgment. ”

As soon as Yuwen Xiucheng's words were finished, there was a buzzing sound among the military generals of Wenchen, and Xiao Yichen, who had sleepy eyes and his eyelids began to droop, opened his starry eyes, and his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Haha, the Li family of Northern Qi, wouldn't they want to send a daughter to our Third Highness as a mother-in-law, right?" Dingguo Gongcheng Plastic Iron touched his beard, and his loud voice spread throughout the court, which immediately attracted laughter.

"Old horseman, you know a fart!" Before the laughter fell, Mu Ying, the protector of the country on the side, scolded angrily: "Even if the Li family of Northern Qi wants to send a mother-in-law over, can you still let our three highnesses personally greet her?" A mere princess, who gave her such a big face!"

Cheng Sutie, who originally wanted to turn his face, frowned when he heard this, did not raise his bar, nodded, and said to Xiao Lingtian: "Your Majesty, what kind of princess is that, where did you get the face to let our dignified prince go to Xinggang to greet him? Even if their monarch is here and waiting at the welcome door, it can be regarded as giving them enough face!"

Yuwen Xiucheng saw that Xiao Lingtian was also nodding, and then said: "This seventh princess of Northern Qi, although she is the youngest among the daughters of the monarch of Northern Qi, she is a princess, and her status is not low. It's just that when the old minister first received the letter of state from the foreign affairs chief of the Northern Qi Dynasty in Longhan, he also said that his status was inconsistent and that it was not legal. However, the long history of the Northern Qi Dynasty said that there is no need for the Third Highness to greet him with a formal courtesy, let alone to take on the welcome envoy, he just wants to meet him. In this way, the old minister could not refrain for a while, so he could only ask His Majesty to make a judgment. ”

Hearing Yuwen Xiucheng say this, Xiao Lingtian was also a little hesitant, and after thinking about it for a while, he still decided to kick the ball at Xiao Yichen's feet, then turned to him and said: "Qinglong'er, it is said that our country has a good relationship with Northern Qi, and this time they are the crown prince, if you are not a regular envoy, but only greet you in the way of relatives and friends, it is not a damage to the national body and deliberately friendship, do you think it is feasible?"

Xiao Yichen arched his hand, faced Xiao Lingtian and said, "That princess of Northern Qi, you can't wait clearly, but this king is much clearer." ”

"Oh, the third brother actually cares about the princess of another country, but the country is beautiful and beautiful, and the world is stunning?" Xiao Muxing interjected and quipped, his eyes full of smiles.
