Jiang Mengzhen's carriage paused for a very short time in the Changping Marquis Mansion, and then under the skilled driving skills of the carriage woman, it moved towards Miyagi at a very gentle but not slow speed.
In the half quarter of an hour of this pause, Jiang Mengzhen had an extra person in the carriage, of course, like him, a man. The other party is about the same age as Jiang Mengzhen, but he is pampered, he looks like he is in his early twenties, his makeup is graceful and dignified, he is wearing a dark purple splendid deep coat, his long cloud-like hair is combed into a flying bun, and a life-carved peacock golden step is swayed and slanted into his high bun, adding a bit of charm to the dignified.
This man is the current Zhengjun of the Marquis of Changping, and he is also one of the few close friends of Jiang Mengzhen. He glanced at Jiang Mengzhen's belly: "Your wife is really right, this little thing can't be handled well, and it makes you work hard with a big belly." ”
He has always been damaged in front of Jiang Mengzhen, but he is also sincerely good for him, when he heard that Jiang Mengzhen chose a woman from a poor family to marry, he was so angry that he only sent a gift, holding his breath, he was stunned that he did not come to the wedding of Hao Cheng and Jiang Mengzhen.
But now that Jiang Mengzhen has something to ask him for help, he still didn't hesitate to come up to help, seeing that Jiang Mengzhen didn't speak, he couldn't help but mutter: "I said it at the beginning, it's not easy to control at a young age." And her family background is not good, her foundation is too shallow, and she has no weight in front of the emperor, so I persuaded you at that time, but you were dead-eyed, so you had to choose her. ”
Jiang Mengzhen's first term is not a good thing, but at least he is rich and powerful, Jiang Mengzhen is not young, although the means are ruthless, but after all, he is a man, he is really worried that his friend will be easily coaxed by such a young woman, and in the end, he will lose both money and money.
Jiang Mengzhen stroked his stomach and smiled very gently: "Ah Bai, thank you, but I'm doing well now, at least I choose her, I don't regret it in my life." ”
"Okay, good, no regrets." Xiao Bai also didn't have anything to do with him, if he was really as ruthless as he said, he wouldn't have sat in the carriage and accompanied him to the palace today.
Looking at Jiang Mengzhen's appearance, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Then have you thought about what to do?" Wouldn't it just be for me to accompany you into the palace and say a few words to the queen of the prince? Although I am the prince of the Hou Mansion, I can say two words on my grandfather's side, but you also know that those women in the royal family are very important, if that shameless foreign prince wants to rob your woman, Your Majesty may really want you to suffer this grievance. ”
The Jin State prides itself on being a big country, paying attention to courtesy and generosity, to say that it is ugly, it is vanity, for the sake of fame and demeanor, you can only swallow the bitter water in your heart, and if you are more shameless people, you can only suffer a loss.
Jiang Mengzhen said: "You just have to take me in, as long as you can say a few words to Empress Taijun and send him something, I have my own plans for the rest." ”
"But what envoy group is going to visit the court today, are you just looking for the queen now, is it too late?" Xiao Bai was still very worried.
Jiang Mengzhen smiled: "Don't worry, if I say it's time, then it must be in time." ”
The Zhengjun of the Marquis of Changping Mansion is also the grandson of the current Taijun, and although there is no special mark in the carriage before this visit, Xiao Bai only released a token to go out, and the carriage opened the curtain to check it and was put down, and the guards in the palace easily let the carriage go.
When Jiang Mengzhen's carriage entered the palace, Hao Cheng reluctantly went to the court. The visit of the foreign courtiers, although the momentum was immense, was still in accordance with the rules of the Jin State, like other countries, to the Jinluan Palace to meet the emperor of the Jin State.
The civil and military officials stood on both sides according to the order of their official positions, except for the official historians and several scholars of the Hanlin Academy, although their grades were not high, they belonged to the emperor's close ministers, and this kind of national affairs must stand in the forefront and serve.
"The Moon Does Not Set Envoys Visit the ......" The tones of the waitresses dragged longer than one another, accompanied by their loud but extremely sharp voices, and the Moon Never Sets envoys walked into the Jinluan Hall with extremely neat steps.
If it is another small country, the number of envoys is small, and when they enter the Jinluan Palace, they are stared at by so many courtiers, and their momentum must be much weaker. But the people of the Moon Immortal Empire were different, their envoys numbered as many as two or three hundred, all of them were tall and well-trained, and they followed behind the blonde, blue-eyed, noble and elegant princes and princesses in a neat march, and the momentum suppressed the courtiers of the Jin Kingdom.
Hao Cheng, as a fifth-grade official, stood at the middle end of the civil official ranks, trying to suppress his sense of existence as much as possible, trying to turn himself into an invisible person and a wallflower, who likes to be high-profile on this occasion, it is best to be young and handsome, and attract the attention of the prince who does not fall at once, anyway, she has no desire to be in the limelight.
The envoy who had kissed her before really changed his dress this time, took off the red wig, and walked side by side with his royal sister as a noble prince.
At first, the atmosphere was not bad, and after the envoys came up, they gave the emperor a big salute according to the customs of the country, but the prince and princess, as the heirs of the empire, only bowed according to the etiquette of their hometown.
And they also asked the emperor of the Jin State in a somewhat unfamiliar Jin dialect, wishing her good health and longevity.
According to others, this is already the highest etiquette for them to meet the empress of their country, and they also use the Jin dialect, which is really very face-saving for the Jin country. Although the emperor was not very satisfied, he wanted to show his demeanor as a great country, so he naturally waved his hand, and also praised the prince and princess, and his face was still smiling. Everyone has their own thoughts, but they are happy on the field.
The princes and princesses of the Moon Never Setting Empire know some Jin dialect, but they are mainly able to understand it, and they can't speak it well, and most of the words still rely on conscientious translators to communicate.
The person in charge of the exchange between the two countries is a black-haired and black-eyed Jin countryman. Originally, in this case, each country used its own interpreter.
There were two interpreters in the previous envoy group, but the chief interpreter was sick, and later he got better, but I don't know why, yesterday's illness suddenly worsened, and he vomited and diarrhea, and he definitely couldn't come to the court. The second translator's spoken language is not very good, and his vocabulary is relatively limited.
I could only arrange for someone from the Jin Kingdom to go over, and the Ministry of Rites later found a translator, who was also sent by the Ministry of Rites, but it was not arranged by Hao Cheng, I heard that it was recommended by the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who had returned to his hometown.
With two interpreters present, the communication between the two countries is quite smooth. At the beginning, we talked about state affairs, the two countries were far apart, a whole ocean, and there was no national border issue to discuss, but mainly about cooperation, so both sides were breezy breezes, and state affairs were quite harmonious.
Later, it was a gift to the Moon Immortal Empire, and there is no need to talk about all kinds of pearls and gems at the beginning, the Jin Kingdom is not short of this, although the things given by the other party are priceless, but the emperor and those who are in high positions have not seen any treasures, and their expressions are quite calm.
When I got to the back, two cages came out, which were rare and exotic beasts, and the Jin Kingdom had never seen them. But as soon as the red cloth on the cage was lifted, Hao Cheng was stunned, the things in these two cages were not pandas and mythical beasts grass mud horses, oh not alpacas.
I didn't expect that the national treasure of my country's previous life could be seen in this place, Hao Cheng was very surprised. If it weren't for the fact that she was worried about this occasion and saw the two cute things in this big cage, she would actually want to go up and touch them and smile.
This thing is also a rare object in the Moon Never Falling Empire, and seeing the people who can shock the Jin Kingdom, the ministers of the Empire who do not fall on the moon cannot hide their pride on their faces.
They asked the interpreter to ask the civil and military officials, who might say the name and habits of this mythical beast, but of course each country may have different names for different species, so they only asked for the habits.
Hao Cheng didn't move, she didn't want to be in the limelight. Fortunately, at this time, someone stood up, and it was the third princess of His Majesty the Emperor. She quoted scriptures and said a lot of ancient books, and the two translators muttered, yes!
The emperor was overjoyed, and the ministers began to tout about the three princesses. This activity of wearing a high hat did not last long.
The princess who never set the moon said very sincerely: "I came to the Jin Kingdom this time to find a king for myself. I heard that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was beautiful and virtuous, and this time he specially brought a dowry and a letter of appointment to ask for marriage. I hope His Majesty the Emperor will agree. ”
Marriages, that's a common thing. However, this kind of marriage between large countries, generally the emperor who marries the queen will not be allowed to give birth to the imperial daughter, if it is not the queen, the born imperial daughter has absolutely no possibility of becoming the emperor of the country.
His Majesty the Emperor asked a few emperors who had not yet married to come out, but the thirteenth emperors were sick and could not see anyone, so they did not attend this time. The princess said affectionately that she fell in love with the emperor in blue at first sight.
The blue shirt is the Seven Emperors, the emperor attaches great importance to the relationship with the Moon Immortal Empire, and the Emperor Qing does not suffer a loss when she marries the future heir of a country, she easily promised the Seven Emperors on the spot.
The Seventh Emperor Qing was soft and weak, his face was not obvious, and he still maintained a smile, but his face was a little pale, and the smile in his eyes was also very reluctant.
The princess who never sets the moon looked very happy, and the ministers also said happy words. However, the prince who never sets on the moon also has something to say, and he said in the language of the moon that never sets: "I have also taken a fancy to a young and handsome lady, and I want to bring her back to my kingdom and be my wife." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Hao Cheng in the crowd intentionally or unintentionally, as the second heir of the country, he would not be willing to use the word wife.
Hao Cheng understands the language of the moon and does not need a translator to understand what he is saying. As soon as his voice fell, her eyes widened unconsciously, and her palms were cold. She really didn't expect that the broken prince of the Moon Immortal Empire was so shameless that he would dare to say such things in front of so many people.
But the Seventh Emperor Qing is the emperor's biological son, and he was sold by the emperor so easily. She's just a little courtier, and she's not the emperor's treasure, so what about her?
