Three months later.

The annual hunting poetry meeting in Nanling officially began, which coincided with the thirtieth and eighth birthday of my mother, and the other two countries sent envoys to envoy.

In the past three months, Yan Xiaoran and I have a little fight. Now it's cold, and I'm huddled in my room all day like I'm going to hibernat. The winter in Nanling is windy, but there is no snow, and I have not seen snow since I was born. Because of the cold, winter is what I especially hate.

The cold plums in the palace are all opened, and I see that the poetry meeting is coming, but I don't seem to have grown at all with Bai Qingyan. When I think of poetry meetings, everyone is very literary to recite poems against each other, and I am the only one standing stupidly, and I feel so embarrassed.

Although the courtiers of Nanling know that I am a literary waste.

The day before the hunting poetry meeting, I was dressed very ceremoniously in the morning, and even Yan Xiaoran changed into formal clothes, and he needed to go with me to receive the envoy's visit. Not to mention, Yan Xiaoran is wearing formal clothes, and he also looks like a dog, and most people don't know how cheap he is in private.

"Welcome the envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom, Duan Shuyan, the great prince of the Western Xia." The little eunuch shouted at the door, and I looked at it with my head hooked.

Only the sound of knocking footsteps was heard, and the eldest prince of Western Xia walked into the court with a group of people. I sat on the dragon chair and looked down, this great prince is said to be the most powerful one of the Western Xia Kingdom, and he is the prince of Western Xia. He looks very gentle, his skin is also white and pure, he is a little weak, and the whole person looks a little gloomy, but fortunately, the clothes he wears are bright eyes, which blend the overall feeling he gives people.

But I still think it's very strange, why is it that he is the envoy of Western Xia?

"The relationship between Xixia and Nanling is very good?" Yan Xiaoran asked in a whisper beside me.

I shook my head slightly: "It's not too good, other countries are still disturbing our borders some time ago." "The national strength of Western Xia is comparable to that of Dayan, and some things often happen in the place where Western Xia and Nanling meet, either other countries come to disturb Nanling, or Nanling goes to fight back against Western Xia.

Everyone didn't pay attention to these petty fights, but what I know very well is that if this continues, there will be a battle between Xixia and Nanling sooner or later. The relationship between the two countries is not very good, why would they let the eldest prince personally send an envoy? Is there something wrong with this?

"Emperor Pingxiong, some time ago you got married, and I only sent gifts from Xixia, and now taking advantage of the feast of Nanling Kingdom, this prince will come to congratulate him in person." Duan Shuyan clapped his hands, and the attendant behind him immediately carried up a box of jewelry, followed by two scantily clad women.

The two women are bewitching, and their figures are also very enchanting, especially the waves on their chests, which are bigger than Yan Xiaoran's fake, I swallowed my saliva gently, and the eyes of the ministers around me looked straight.

"This is a box of treasures from my Western Xia, and I will send two dancing girls to Emperor Pingxiong, hoping that the two countries of Western Xia and Nanling can be friends forever."

Me: "......" I can't use it for women.

The two dancers twisted their slender waists and walked in front of me with light steps. A dancer seductively held my face and dropped a kiss on my cheek, and another dancer was even more daring and sat on my lap. The waist that looked like a spirit snake slowly came over.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of the slave family?"

I swallowed my saliva, although the beauty in front of me was beautiful and charming, there was no aura. At this moment, my mind is full of Yan Xiaoran, what's going on? If Yan Xiaoran dressed like this to seduce me, I would definitely not be able to hold it.

Yan Xiaoran, who was sitting next to me, didn't say a word, carried the pitiful clothes of the two of them, and threw the person down. The two of them sighed coquettishly, fell to the ground, and looked at Duan Shuyan with grievances on their faces.

Duan Shuyan didn't care about these two people, but looked at Yan Xiaoran with interest.

"The kindness of the eldest prince, His Majesty understands it, but the dancing queen doesn't need it." Yan Xiaoran got up and said with a smile.

Duan Shuyan looked at Yan Xiaoran directly, and there were many complicated feelings circulating in those blazing eyes: "The queen mother is the princess of Dayan, how can she not tolerate two dancing girls?" ”

"Because His Majesty has the main palace, there is no need for more people." Yan Xiaoran said confidently: "If the eldest prince must give it, then it is better to reward the two to the courtiers in need." ”

Duan Shuyan laughed loudly, with doting in his eyes: "Okay, the person has been sent to Emperor Pingxiong, and it is up to you to decide." ”

Me: "!! Why did Duan Shuyan look at Yan Xiaoran's eyes so ambiguous? My gaze circled back and forth between Yan Xiaoran and Duan Shuyan a few times, and I happened to meet Duan Shuyan's provocative gaze.

Me: "......"

Yan Xiaoran said softly: "Uncle Shen Guo usually does his best for Nanling, why don't you give the two dancing girls to Uncle Guo, and go back to be relaxed?" ”

Others don't know, but I know that when I go back, my aunt will kill him......

Sure enough, the uncle touched his mustache and refused: "The old man is old, why don't you give it to the younger generations...... Haha......"

"That's what you said, if that's not the case, one for Bai Shilang and one for Shen Wei." Yan Xiaoran pursed her lips and said, "I heard that the two of them are not young, but they don't have a wife and concubine yet, and Your Majesty is also worried about the two of them in their lives." ”

Bai Qingyan: "......"

Shen Weiguo standing outside: "......"

I can't refuse anymore, Duan Shuyan's face is already very ugly. Bai Qingyan looked embarrassed: "Thank you for the queen's reward." ”

Uncle: "The old minister accepted it on behalf of Xiao'er." ”

Me: "......" just give it to my cousin, why don't you give it to Bai Qingyan, bastard!

The post officer took Duan Shuyan and a group of people to prepare to go to the post house to rest. Before leaving, he also glanced back at Yan Xiaoran.

There must be a ghost between them!

"Liu Zhiyi, the envoy of Xuanda Yan Kingdom, came to see you."

Liu Zhiyi is the son of the prime minister of Dayan and the nephew of the Empress Dowager Liu of Dayan.

"The minister has seen Emperor Pingxiong, the queen's mother." Liu Zhiyi walked into the main hall with a team of people, he was dressed as a scholar, with a piece of jade around his waist, and the tassel of the jade tail swayed from side to side with his movements. This Liu Zhiyi is a bit like my imperial brother, and I feel like the kind of person who is very urban.

Speaking of my imperial brother, he is also coming from the fiefdom today. I sighed in my heart, and I was going to have to fight with them again.

"This is a small gift from my Dayan, and I hope that Dayan and Nanling will be friends for generations." Liu Zhiyi pointed to the three boxes of gifts brought up by the guard, and the guards opened the boxes, the first box was a box of gold, the second box was a box of jewelry, and the third box was some rare medicinal materials, such as Ganoderma lucidum ginseng and the like.

To be honest, the gifts from both countries are cheesy, but I like them.

"Okay." I stroked my palm: "Take the Dayan envoy down to rest, tomorrow the Nanling feast, I will entertain you well." ”

Liu Zhiyi arched his hand and looked at Yan Xiaoran: "Queen Mother, the Queen Mother asked her ministers to greet you on her behalf." ”

I looked at Yan Xiaoran, he nodded quietly, and there was no change in his expression: "This palace thanks the kindness of the Empress Dowager." ”

――――

After returning to the dormitory after the morning court, I questioned Yan Xiaoran in every way along the way: "Are you sure you have nothing to explain to me?" ”

Yan Xiaoran: "What do I have to explain?" ”

I squinted at him: "Did you and the eldest prince of Western Xia know each other before?" ”

Yan Xiaoran shook her head very upright: "See you for the first time." ”

Fool it! Duan Shuyan's provocative gaze at me was clearly challenging me, he was competing with me for Yan Xiaoran's rhythm! However, Yan Xiaoran is not ready to say, and I don't plan to ask more, after all, it is not a glorious thing to have a broken sleeve.

After thinking about it, I glanced at Yan Xiaoran very seriously, even if it is good to break my sleeves, I will not dislike you.

"Gu Shu, what kind of expression the hell are you?" The corners of Yan Xiaoran's mouth twitched slightly: "Put away your lewd expression." ”

I rubbed my face, obviously very serious.

I was already under the covers before the lights went out at night, but ...... It's cold. I curled up my whole body, and it took a while for me to feel better. Yan Xiaoran is also ready to go to the soft couch, since it was cold, Yan Xiaoran didn't seem to have grabbed the bed with me again.

I thought for a while: "Yan Xiaoran, do you want to come to bed and sleep with me?" ”

Yan Xiaoran took off her clothes for a moment, and her gaze at me was also a little weird: "Gu Shu, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

I nodded, "Of course I do." "The bed is too cold, let him warm my bed first, and I'll come up again."

Then before I could react, there was suddenly an extra quilt and a person in the vacant seat next to me. Yan Xiaoran quickly got into the quilt: "You said it earlier, I was cold to death a few days ago." ”

Because I didn't know you were a broken sleeve before...... I pursed my lips, "I should also be sympathetic to my queen." ”

Yan Xiaoran snorted.

Half-asleep, I felt as if there was movement around me. Quietly opened his eyes, only to find that Yan Xiaoran was dressing, or night clothes. My sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden, and I watched Yan Xiaoran's movements silently. It wasn't until he quietly went out of the room that I quickly dressed and followed him out.

As soon as I went out, a cold wind blew, and I shivered, but driven by curiosity, I still quietly followed Yan Xiaoran's footsteps.

It's been three months in the palace, and Yan Xiaoran is obviously familiar with the palace, and she even knows which path it is. But in this direction of his, it seems to be a post house. This situation reminds me of the beginning, when I was wearing a night suit to spy on him.

So...... At such a late hour, is he preparing to have a tryst with the prince of Western Xia?

Yan Xiaoran really came to the post house, but he didn't come to see the eldest prince of Western Xia, but ...... Great Swallow Messenger.

In a very hidden corner of the post house, Yan Xiaoran stopped, and the figure over there turned around and shouted with surprise: "Brother Xiaoran." ”

Me: "......" dashing...... Brother? There is still anyone who knows that Yan Xiaoran is a man, and she is still a woman when she listens to her voice?
