Chapter 44: Difficulties (2)
There is a country in the west, called Luo, because although it is in the depths of the westernmost desert, but in the oasis, the cattle and sheep are fat, the materials are abundant, and rely on the natural danger, so it stands between the countries for thousands of years and does not fall, the culture is rich, the history is long, it is the object of the countries.

Luo is different from other countries, inheriting the culture of inheritance, and the successor to the throne has always been male and female, and must be recognized by the high priest of the desert god and the previous monarch, but more than ten years ago, the little emperor who should have inherited the monarch's throne disappeared, and there was no news. In recent years, the current monarch of Luoguo has become weaker and weaker, and he is afraid that the limit is approaching, and he feels ashamed of his ancestors, so he sent envoys to visit the countries as an excuse, first, to ask for relatives to calm the world, and second, to secretly inquire about the traces of the little emperor.
Because of the disappearance of the little emperor, the next successor is now only two years old, and he must not take on this important responsibility, and the important ministers of the country are worried about this, so the high priest asked himself to be a messenger to relieve the urgent need.
On this day, when the old emperor heard that the envoy of Luoguo was about to arrive, he was very happy and summoned the prime minister to discuss the matter.
Li Hao was dressed in purple clothes and walked slowly: "Weichen knocks on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
When the old emperor saw the prime minister, he said happily: "The prime minister is here, get up!" ”
"I don't know what the Holy Lord is looking for Weichen to do?" Li Hao said calmly, now he doesn't want to be an official, originally he was an official just to survive and have a bite to eat, but he was interested in it, and the feeling of fiddling with the fate of others was really interesting, but now he just wants to be the master of his own destiny, but over the years, the forces have been intertwined, and he has moved his whole body, but he can't get out of the whole body.
"Prime Minister, the high priest of Luo Kingdom will come to our country in the near future to discuss the matter of peace, I don't know if the prime minister has any good suggestions?"
"There is only one princess of the right age in the palace, I don't know what the saint wants? I don't know which son of Luo Country wants to marry? Li Hao thought about it and said, that Situ Yan has been acting a little weird recently, and it would be great to be able to send her away.
"What the prime minister said is reasonable, the letter from Luo Guo said that he was going to marry the disciple of the high priest, and the next high priest was a very noble status, even if he married Yan'er, he couldn't lose her." The old emperor thought for a moment and said.
"Then congratulations to the saint, I heard that the next high priest is very good-looking, has extraordinary instruments, and is full of wealth, and is a rare good man."
"It would be nice if this could be the case, but the letter also said that although it is a marriage, the candidate must be personally chosen by the person concerned, after all, he is the next priest of their country, and the choice of a wife must of course be approved by God." The old emperor sighed and said.
"With the appearance of a princess, she is also very outstanding among all the women, Your Majesty does not need to worry." Li Hao thought for a while and said.
"You go down and instruct the Ministry of Rites, wait for the high priest to arrive and hold a palace banquet, and invite all the ministers and female relatives of the family to enter the palace for the banquet, one is to wash the dust for the high priest, and the other is to set this person who is close to him, and I will hand over the palace banquet to the queen to preside over the preparation, and tell the Ministry of Rites not to lose the etiquette, so that Luo Guo looks down on our country." The old emperor repeatedly told him that the cultural heritage of Luoguo is very deep, and the old emperor does not want to lose face in front of such a country, so he is naturally very concerned.
"Okay, Weichen will go down to handle it, and the saint can rest assured." Li Hao responded, hurriedly leaving the palace, this matter is really not easy to do, as we all know, Luoguo has a long culture and it is not easy to think with, has always only abided by the rules of his own country, and because of its ancient country, there are many secret methods that are not transmitted, it is rumored that it can heal the bones of the dead, it is very weird, one is not handled well, and the future is endless.
In addition, the high priest of other countries has always been rumored to be different from the ability of ordinary people, and his appearance is also different from ordinary people, since he was a child, he has white hair, and his ability is unfathomable, there are rumors that a high priest was betrayed by his wife a hundred years ago, and his heart was resentful and cursed his wife's clan to death that he would not live to be thirty, since then, his wife's clan has never lived thirty people, so all countries have great respect for the country of Luo, although the country of Los Angeles is hidden in the desert, but no one dares to provoke.
Therefore, this palace banquet must not make a mistake, and it is better to be cautious.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. Bailing sighed again and again in the room.
She went to see the land that day, but she did not expect to help a man by the way, and the man was very strange, and she kindly saved him, settled him, and put medicine on him. Who knew that the man disappeared without even saying thank you, she must ask Pin'er that girl another day, why is there such a strange person in her pear orchard, strange.
It's so strange, you need to be cautious, it's not good to be someone who is looking for revenge, and since you have this matter in your heart, you naturally feel uneasy. In addition, she looked at the land that day, the location is the best, on the most prosperous street, the area is large enough, but now there is a very difficult thing, she actually does not know the way of business, how to manage a restaurant, Pin'er is even more powerless, she is a boudoir lady, I am afraid that it will only cost money.
How should this person in charge find the right person?
Mrs. Bailing put these two things in her heart, and she looked much more depressed than usual, plus the construction, decoration, and recruitment of the restaurant, she needed to deal with it personally, so many things did not have a score, but it was extremely difficult.
But it was said that Mrs. Bailing was thinking like this, but suddenly heard a noisy voice outside: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
"Mrs. Qiqi Bailing, Her Royal Highness the princess is noisy outside the gate of the mansion, saying that she wants to see Miss, but Miss has just gone out with the adult, and the slave and the princess say this, the princess does not follow, she must see Miss, but the slaves and maids don't know where the young lady has gone, what can I do?" The little maid said anxiously.
"This princess is so strange, why is she so unreasonable, don't worry, I'll meet her, it's just that Pin'er suddenly went out with the adult." Mrs. Bailing asked curiously, the adult is busy with official business on weekdays, and he actually has time to accompany Pin'er out today.
"Madam, the adults said that there are too many official duties on weekdays, and they can't spare too much time to accompany Miss every day, which is really not responsible, and I must have a good time with Miss today, or the good Miss is just in the house and the pear orchard, and she is too depressed, and her temperament is becoming more and more dull, and I am afraid that Miss will get sick, so I just dragged Miss out." The maid said in an orderly manner that she stayed aside just now, looking at the adult's cherished appearance of the young lady, it was really enviable.
"That's it! Do not send any man to look for them, or will they be distracted, and take me to the princess! Lady Bailing said with a smile.
"Yo, I just said why there is such a big beauty in the house, it turns out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess! The concubine saw Her Royal Highness the princess, but the princess was in a hurry, and these maids were not well entertained, but the princess was wronged. Mrs. Bailing adjusted her demeanor, and when she saw the princess, she smiled and said, but this smile did not reach the bottom of her heart.
"You are?" Situ Yan asked strangely, why is there one more person in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"I am the prime minister's concubine, Mrs. Bailing, and now the young lady is not in the house, so I dare to entertain Her Royal Highness the princess, the princess still remembers me, I am your mother's distant cousin, and I saw the princess when the princess was a child." Lady Lark's good-natured explanation.
"It's my aunt! It's just that I haven't seen my aunt in the past when I came to the house? The princess asked in surprise, what kind of distant cousin, just a little kiss, really regarded herself as a character.
"I'm not in good health, I recuperated outside for a while a few years ago, and I only returned to the house recently, it's not strange that the princess hasn't seen me, but I don't know what the princess is doing when she comes to the house, can she talk to the concubine, and when the young lady comes back, the concubine will tell the young lady." Mrs. Bailing rolled her eyes in her heart, looking at the arrogant appearance of this princess, she heard Pin'er say that day, she was not familiar with this princess, how could this princess find a chance to leave the palace and run to the prime minister's mansion.
"Don't worry about Aunt Lao, this princess just came to find Miss Li to say a few words to herself, just wait for her here, Aunt doesn't have to accompany me here, just take care of yourself." Situ Yan said slowly, she only came here when she saw that Li Pin was not in the mansion, if she was watched by this woman, wouldn't her plan be in vain.
"If the princess has any needs, she can tell her, and the concubine will retire first." The princess said that in this way, Mrs. Bailing couldn't stay here, so she had to leave first, and secretly made the maid look at the princess.
Situ Yan saw Mrs. Bailing walking away, and made a look with the personal maid, who pretended to tremble when she poured tea for Situ Yan, and splashed the tea on the princess's body.
"You maid, why are you so careless, princess, follow me into the inner room to change clothes, you just kneel here!" Another maid rebuked, and helped the princess into the inner room.
"Qiaoyun, now that there are people staring outside, everyone is watching, I can't leave, you find an opportunity to get rid of the maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then you will find a desolate courtyard, you say to the people in the courtyard, Yu Nuan has rebelled, don't be impatient, and the big thing will be done." Go back quickly, it is not advisable to stay in this house for a long time, so as not to be suspicious of others, be careful and do not show your stuffing. Situ Yan explained uneasily, this Mrs. Bailing is suspicious, and she has to be careful.
"Yes, Princess." Qiao Yun responded and sneaked out.
Situ Yan changed his clothes, tasted tea in the pavilion boredly, and the kung fu of the two teas came back.
Situ Yan looked at Qiaoyun questioningly, Qiaoyun nodded, and it was done.
"Why hasn't Miss Li come back for so long, this princess is really tired of waiting, you tell your young lady that I will come to talk to her another day, so I will go back to the palace first." After Situ Yan finished his work, he didn't want to stay, so he took all the palace maids and went out of the house to return to the palace.
Lady Bailing, who received the letter, was even more suspicious, and became more and more suspicious of this princess.
