Chapter 160: The Envoy Arrives in Beijing

Su Dai's eyebrows suddenly condensed with a touch of surprise, and he looked back at her in astonishment: "Why is a good person gone in a blink of an eye?" ā€

"Actually, there was an incident a few days ago, the slave and maid looked at Niangniang's mood recently, so she didn't tell Niangniang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" said softly.

"What happened?"

Zhen Yan lowered his eyes and said slowly: "It seems that a few days ago, the third prince secretly ran to the west side hall of Yuxiu Palace while the virtuous concubine was taking a nap, but the third prince has been vomiting and diarrhea after going back, and the whole person has lost weight for two or three days, and he still has a fever. ā€

"And then the lady hanged herself?" Su Dai asked with a frown.

"I also pleaded a few words, but the evidence was conclusive, and the virtuous concubine was so anxious that she shed tears, and His Majesty was angry and wanted to put Shumei in the cold palace, and before she could go to the cold palace, Shumei hanged herself in Yuxiu Palace."

Shumei is smart, but she is really timid and afraid, if it is said that she deliberately harmed the three princes, Su Dai is the first to not believe, she can't help but think of Xin Concubine who was burned to death in Yuhuatai, when Xin Concubine was out of the funeral, only Shumei who did not have much friends with her went, it is enough to see that she is still pure and good in her heart, not to mention that Shumei is stupid and will not let people catch the handle on the spot, this matter has many loopholes, but it is a pity that Shumei's mother's family has no power in the court, no one to help, and the evidence is conclusive, so there is nowhere to plead, so I have to accept my fate.

"Shumei is kind and kind on weekdays, and she has no quarrel with the world, and this matter is aimed at her." Su Dai looked at the raindrops falling under the eaves of the corridor and said lightly.

Zhen Yan's voice did not fluctuate: "Who does Niang Niang think?" ā€

"Shumei has indeed offended one person recently." Su Dai sneered and spat out a sentence lightly.

Concubine Ning, who was removed from the power of the assistant six palaces, if Su Dai guessed well, the person behind the scenes must be her, if it wasn't for Shumeiren to prove it out loud, Wan Feiyang could still quibble a few words if she thought about it, even if the matter was a foregone conclusion, Concubine Ning's right to associate the six palaces was withdrawn, and Shumei was bound to hold a grudge against her.

"It's too easy for her." Su Dai said lightly, Concubine Ning's methods have always been ruthless, although she was removed from the right to associate the six palaces, it is still more than enough to clean up a small beauty, not to mention doing it in her Yuxiu Palace.

"Shumei has a pure temperament, but she doesn't know how to be flexible, even if she has nothing to do today, sooner or later she will be eliminated by this deep palace." Zhen Yan stared at the pale cyan sky and said faintly.

"It's not necessarily a blessing for her." Su Dai sighed softly, a person who is too simple-minded is not suitable for this deep palace, while her hands are not stained with blood, dying is also a relief.

The raindrops of beans crackled on the plane trees in the courtyard, and there seemed to be a dull sigh in the sky.

Shumei died, because she committed an accident before she died, and her body was hastily rolled up by a mat and sent to a mass grave outside the palace. No one dared to go to the palace concubines, Su Dai was bored in his heart, so he asked Hua Qing to give her a ride, which can be regarded as the fate of them living in the same palace.

It didn't rain that day, but the sky was so low that it looked like it was going to collapse at any moment.

When Huaqing came back, the whole person was very silent.

"Sent out?" Su Dai raised his eyes and asked.

Hua Qing nodded, his expression a little depressed: "Niangniang, do you remember Fanshan who served beside Shumeiren?" ā€

"She is a very careful little girl, and she is also very loyal to the beautiful people."

"Fanshan is gone." Hua Qing's voice was so low that it seemed to be saying something insignificant, but his trembling lips betrayed his mood at the moment, "When the slave went, I happened to see her crash into the mule cart that sent Shumei out of the palace. Her white forehead bumped against the mule cart, and the blood suddenly gushed out like a splash, and he stood there, watching the little eunuch who was driving the car get out of the car while scolding, and at the same time skillfully dragged Fanshan's body into the car, and behind them was a thick cloud that was so low that he could barely breathe.

Su Dai was silent, and couldn't help but think of his irresponsible behavior before, which almost hurt Zhen Yan and Hua Qing, if something happened to her, would they be like Fanshan?

Thinking of this, her eyes were overflowing with guilt, and she raised her eyes to Zhen Yan and Hua Qing and said, "I made you suffer before." ā€

Hua Qing was stunned, and said in an instant: "Niangniang doesn't have to say this, as long as the slave can follow Niangniang, it is the most satisfying thing for the slave." ā€

"Yes, any decision made by the mother, the slave and maid will support it." Zhenyan said softly.

Su Dai's eyes were a little moist, and he said slowly: "I promise, there will be no such situation in the future." ā€

The death of Shumei is like throwing a small pebble in the deep water of the Ligong, poof, without even splashing, it sinks to the bottom of the water, and no one remembers it.

On the third day after Shumeiren's death, the three princes' bodies were not yet well, so the virtuous concubine held a moon-viewing banquet, and the wives were ordered to bring their daughters into the palace for the banquet.

Su Dai was not interested in the moon viewing banquet at all, so he claimed that he was not happy and shirked it.

Since she was pregnant, many things are done according to her preferences, Rong Bingye has no objections, but still spoils her with a smile, but the harem has already given birth to rumors that Concubine Yi is pregnant and arrogant.

When the words reached Su Dai's ears, the rumors had been circulating in the palace for some days, and she just ignored them and didn't bother to pay attention to them.

The guests and hosts of the moon viewing banquet of the virtuous concubine were happy, and all the ladies of the family were proficient in poetry and books, and many excellent poems were written during the banquet. One of the most outstanding is the Xinping Zongji of Prince Mu's house, the virtuous concubine was very happy, claiming that she did not have half a daughter under her knees, so she recognized the Xinping Zongji as her daughter on the spot, and His Majesty heard about it on the second day, it was also a great joy, and ordered to canonize the Xinping Zongji as the Lanling Emperor, and the jade disc moved into the knee of the virtuous concubine.

The news spread quickly, and on the day of the canonization of the Lanling Emperor, Su Dai heard the news from Zhenyan's mouth.

"The moon viewing banquet is a disguise, and the essence is to find an opportunity for the virtuous concubine to recognize the Lanling Emperor." After listening to Zhenyan's words, Su Dai chuckled and said slowly.

Everyone present on the day was a foil, and everyone who came to the banquet knew it, but everyone still cooperated with the performance in a timely manner.

The days passed quickly, and soon after the beginning of winter, the envoys of the Naiban tribe arrived in Lijing.

Rong Bingye held a banquet in the Chong'an Palace to entertain the envoys of the barbarian department, and the nobles and harem concubines of the kings and grandsons were all to participate.

In the afternoon of that day, Su Dai sat in front of the makeup ceremony, and let Du Ruohe Zhenyan dress up for himself, because the banquet was grand, everyone had to wear formal clothes, Su Dai did not like the formal clothes of the concubines, heavy and pressing, and the royal blue appearance made people old-fashioned.

When she arrived at Chong'an Palace, most of the concubines had already arrived, and not long after she took her seat, she felt a gaze staring straight at her, she couldn't help frowning, but she looked for a pair of peach blossom eyes full of gloom, Rong Sheng's lips stared at a cold arc, and his gaze fell on her lower abdomen that had not yet bulged.

Su Dai glanced at him faintly and looked away.

Jiang Mi sat beside her, and she took Su Dai's hand with a smile and said, "Have you vomited a lot lately?" ā€

"I've been getting better lately, as long as it's not particularly fishy, I won't smell it and vomit." Su Dai said with a smile.

At this time, Zhao Nianwan walked to the two of them with a smile and asked softly, "How are you feeling lately?" ā€

"Much better."

Zhao Nianwan smiled and said, "The first three months were the hardest, and it's good to pass." ā€

Su Dai nodded: "It's getting better and better." ā€

At this moment, I only heard the little eunuch outside the hall singing, "The envoy of the barbarian department has arrived." ā€

Everyone in the hall listened, and they all looked at the palace gate, only to see the palace gate into the temple door more than a dozen men dressed in the traditional costumes of the barbarian department, headed by the man with a long figure, only to see that he was handsome, his face was like a carving, and his facial features were distinct, under the sword eyebrows was a pair of deep eyes, dark and light were intertwined boundlessly, like a deep pool in the autumn, which was unpredictable. He pursed his thin lips lightly, did not smile, and exuded a cold indifference all over his body, as if he was rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Among the dozen or so people was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, dressed in a fiery red dress, with a smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to the man at the head, and she was born like a painting, compared to the woman of Lijing, it was another kind of wanton beauty.

Sudai looked at him quietly, and her intuition told her that it was Ilad, and the trembling fingertips she held back were him, the man who shot a fatal arrow into the chest of her father Khan with his own hands, and the man seemed to know her gaze, and his eyes slowly fell on her, and the depth of his eyes was like a turbulent sea for a moment, and for a moment, it was calm again.

Jiang Mi noticed that her body was trembling slightly, and lowered her voice to comfort: "Dai'er, are you okay?" ā€

Su Dai lowered his head and bowed his head lightly, but did not speak.

After the envoys of the barbarian tribe sat down, whispers quietly sounded in the hall, they just turned a deaf ear, and the palace maids behind them poured wine glasses for them, and the envoys all sat and drank without speaking.

After a while, the holy car arrived at the Chong'an Temple.

Everyone stood up and saluted, only to hear Rong Bingye say with a smile: "Flat." ā€

After he sat down, he smiled at the envoy of the Naiban tribe: "Let Ye Nayan wait for a long time." ā€

The man who was the leader before got up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is polite, we have only arrived soon." ā€

Rong Bingye nodded, pointed at the man and smiled at everyone in the hall: "This is the most proud son of the King of the Naiban Khan, Iled, a young talent, brave and good at fighting, and he was named Ye Nayan at a young age. ā€

The minister in the palace hurriedly laughed and echoed twice.

Ilad pursed his thin lips and said lightly: "Your Majesty has praised it." ā€

"In that case, let the feast begin." Rong Bingye laughed loudly, and as soon as the words fell, he only heard the melodious sound of silk and bamboo in the hall, and a row of dancing girls danced with the music outside the hall.

During the banquet, Ilad rarely spoke, and it was a middle-aged man on his right hand who spoke, and the middle-aged man smiled, his eyes narrowing into a slit.

At this moment, a bearded man on Ilad's left side said in a rough voice: "This dance is so soft, it's really boring, show me that I'm asleep." ā€

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward, and Rong Bingye still had a smile on the corner of his lips, but the smile was not as good as his eyes.

Ilad turned his eyes and rebuked coldly: "Dari Achi! ā€

Daria Chi stiffened his neck and muttered something quietly, but did not speak again.

Ilad looked at Rong Bingye and said slightly apologetically: "Your Majesty, don't mind, General Dari Achi has no malicious intent. ā€

Rong Bingye smiled and said, "General Dari Achi is really temperamental. ā€

I only heard the girl in red laugh loudly: "I think Dari Achi is not wrong, if Your Majesty has seen the dance of our barbarian tribe, he will definitely think that this kind of dance is really invigorating." ā€

"Oh? Princess Normin wants to dance? Rong Bingye asked with interest.

Nuo Min raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said loudly: "That's natural, but I just want my Aha to play music for me." ā€

"I don't know, but if you want to?" Rong Bingye asked with a smile.

Iled bowed slightly to Rong Bingye: "Doesn't Da Chu have a saying, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate?" After speaking, he took out a small harmonica from his sleeve, pursed his lips and blew softly, and suddenly, a melodious music came out of the harmonica.

Nuo Min danced with the music, only to see her keep spinning, like a fiery butterfly, her hair in the air across a beautiful arc, arms spread, pouring out of the whole body is a kind of free and wanton publicity, as the harmonica sound is getting faster and faster, Nuo Min's dancing posture is getting faster and faster, until the harmonica sound slowly ends, Nuo Min suddenly pulled out the soft whip on his waist, only to hear a crisp loud crackling sound, the soft whip in the air to draw an arc, the soft whip brushed the ground, with the petals left when the dancing girl danced, Suddenly, the pink petals in the sky swayed down, like a beautiful rain of petals in the sky.

After the dance, everyone in the hall paused for a while before suddenly remembering to clap their hands and praise.

Nuo Min smiled smugly and said to Rong Bingye, "How about Your Majesty?" Compared with the song and dance of Da Chu, what about the dance of my barbarian? ā€

Rong Bingye smiled and said: "Da Chu's dance pays attention to the beauty of form, and the dance of the barbarian department pays more attention to a kind of power, and the two are not the same, but Princess Nuomin's dance has opened my eyes." ā€

Nuo Min put away the soft whip in his hand and said with a loud smile: "I heard that the princess of Uzhuerqin is also here, I want to see how the princess of Uzhuerqin is different from our Naiban tribe!" ā€

Su Dai was lowering his head and talking to Jiang Mi, when he suddenly heard Nuo Min mention her, and couldn't help frowning, at this time, the eyes of the hall converged on her.

Nuo Min followed her gaze to look at Su Dai, a trace of contempt and disgust flashed in her eyes, and she smiled and said to Su Dai: "You are the princess of Uzhuerqin?" ā€
