In the evening, the faint sunset shines in the Imperial Garden. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info swept through the strange flowers and plants in the garden and the splendid stacked brocade flowers, and the whole palace seemed to be dyed with a layer of quiet golden yellow. In the theater behind the Imperial Garden, music was being sung babblingly, and the sound of musical instruments with joy spread throughout the garden.

In the watchtower opposite the theater, the queen sat on the main seat and talked to the ladies below. Zhu Chuyu and Sun Yan'er sat on the left and right side of the queen, and then down were Princess Changping, Princess Lingyi, and a group of princesses and ladies above the third rank in the court. As for the lower status, it can only be downstairs.

Sun Yan'er glanced at Zhu Chuyu a little strangely, Zhu Chuyu has always been a long-sleeved dancer, and he has never been stingy to show his ability on this occasion, but on such a big day today, why does he seem a little absent-minded.

On the seat below, Princess Zhou raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Queen Mother, why hasn't Princess Chu come yet?" It's okay to be busy usually, even on a day like today, Princess Chu has not appeared for a long time, and we aunts still want to meet her. At one point, there were many people who echoed in unison, they were indeed very curious about Princess Chu, but Nangong Mo rarely went out to hang out, and he had seen them all, but he didn't say much.

The queen put down the teacup in her hand and smiled, and said to Princess Zhou angrily: "You haven't seen her?" I've always been screaming to see you, and I've never seen you give me any greeting gifts. ”

Princess Zhou smiled and said, "Isn't my brother-in-law poor, where can the princess afford to look at our little things?" ”

The queen didn't bother with him about this, but just smiled: "Let her have a good time with you in a while, lest you always say that you didn't see her." Get ready to meet this time, if she dares to dislike it, I'll teach her a lesson for you. Princess Qi, who was sitting next to Princess Zhou, also smiled and said, "The queen mother is right, are you ready for a gift?" ”

Princess Zhou sighed, "The queen's sister-in-law is really a good mother-in-law who loves her daughter-in-law, I am in a hurry to ask for benefits for my daughter-in-law after a few sentences, Princess Chu is really lucky." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became a little strange. It doesn't matter if the king of Chu was not born to the queen's mother, and he was not even a concubine born to another woman, but the concubine of the queen of Yuan. This relationship is a little embarrassing, and most people will avoid mentioning it, but Princess Zhou didn't have this evasion, and said it naturally and happily, as if she really didn't pay attention.

"I knew that Aunt Wang loved me the most, and she would remember it if she didn't see me for a day." Outside the door, a smiling female voice came in. Everyone turned around and saw Nangong Mo walking in in red. Except for extremely formal occasions, Nangong Mo rarely wears particularly bright clothes. But today is the birthday of Emperor Taichu, I don't know that the Manchu Dynasty, the vassal kings of various places, and the envoys of Fanbang countries came to congratulate, so naturally they can't be sloppy. However, most of the ladies present today are also wearing red, purple, and other grand colors, and they do not look maverick.

It is precisely because very few people see Nangong Mo wearing red clothes, and Nangong Mo's appearance is also beautiful, but her temperament tends to be beautiful and refined, and people who are not familiar with her will inevitably think that she can't suppress such a red and purple color. But seeing her walk in at this time, many people secretly took a breath in their hearts.

I saw that she was wearing a red dress embroidered with a golden moire on the neckline, and a large-sleeved shirt embroidered with a golden luanniao moire. The moire hem mops the floor, and a dark gold belt outlines the slender waist, which looks more and more slender under the wide coat. Nangong Mo rarely drew makeup solemnly, his eyebrows were slightly swiped, his lips were dotted, his hair was pulled into a cloud bun, and there were several treasure hairpins made of precious stones in his hair. The dark gold tassels sway gently in the ears, and it seems that there is a breeze in the action. What's even more eye-catching is the touch of gold red in the center of her eyebrows, the red flame is dotted with a little gold powder, not Zhu Huan is green, and the heavy makeup is glamorous, but there is a natural noble momentum between the eyebrows, which makes people can't help but bow their heads under her gaze.

"The sons are here, and I hope that my mother will forgive my sins." Nangong Mo walked up to the queen and bowed to Yingying, and said crisply.

The queen smiled and said, "Hurry up, your aunt is joking." Your Majesty told you to do something, but it's done? ”

Nangong Mo got up and smiled lightly: "It's almost." ”

The queen nodded, "That's good, Your Majesty's affairs are important, don't worry about everything else, sit down and talk." The queen had already set aside a vacant seat for her, and only after Nangong Mo thanked her did she walk to the vacant seat next to Zhu Chuyu and sit down, and nodded with a smile towards Princess Changping and Princess Lingyi, who were looking at her with concern.

"Sister-in-law." Zhu Chuyu looked at Nangong Mo and called softly.

Nangong Mo looked at her and said, "My brother and sister's face is a little bad, but they are unwell?" Zhu Chuyu smiled a little reluctantly and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, thank you sister-in-law for your concern." ”

Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "It's okay." ”

Sitting in the pavilion and watching the drama is really a very boring thing, although Nangong Mo has a wide range of interests and hobbies, but whether it is in the past life or in this life, opera is obviously not in her hobby. The babbling and singing voice turned back and forth, so that people like her, who are not urgent, can't help but want to quickly read out the lines for the actors on stage.

Sitting on the side, listening to the play with a match, and occasionally saying a few words to the ladies in the palace, Nangong Mo still put most of his mind on the affairs of the past two days. Zhu Chuyu, who was able to speak well in the past, seems to be extraordinarily quiet today, and Nangong Mo is happy not to be distracted to deal with her.

After listening to a few episodes, the queen was a little tired, and ordered the ladies to disperse and go to rest or walk in the imperial garden, and she took Princess Changping and several princesses back to the palace to rest.

Nangong Mo, as the princess, naturally wanted to stay to entertain guests. As soon as the queen and princesses dispersed, the atmosphere in the entire pavilion suddenly became much more relaxed. On the opposite stage, there is no singing, but there are pianists and musicians playing festive music, and the ladies gather together to drink tea and chat very leisurely.

When she saw Princess Lingxiang pulling Zhu Chuyu away, Nangong Mo was stunned. couldn't help but look up at the sky, had there been something she didn't know about in just two or three days?

Seeing her like this, Sun Yan'er stacked herself in the original position of Zhu Chuyu and said softly: "Sister-in-law doesn't know? In the past few days, Princess Lingxiang and her third sister-in-law have been walking very closely. I heard that Princess Lingxiang also visited her twice. Nangong Mo remembered what Princess Lingxiang said last time she went to the Chu Palace, and after that, neither she nor Wei Junmo paid attention to it, thinking that Princess Lingxiang also understood what they meant, so she turned to King Zheng's Mansion, right?

Princess Lingxiang is indeed a bit smart and courageous, but it is still whimsical to use her to have too much influence on the South Vietnamese royal family. Princess Lingxiang herself knows her weaknesses, she is too young, and her brothers and sisters above have already firmly grasped the authority in their hands. As for the King of Nanyue, if he was really so optimistic about her, he was afraid that he would not agree to let her come to Daxia, after all... South Vietnam came to make peace with Bactria and relatives. No matter whether she enters the palace or which palace she enters, Princess Lingxiang is no longer eligible to inherit the throne of Nanyue.

I just don't know, why did Princess Lingxiang choose Xiao Qianwei? Xiao Qianwei's concubine and the four concubines are full, Princess Lingxiang will not marry into King Zheng's mansion as a concubine, right? If you choose Xiao Qianchi or Xiao Qianwei, not to mention the main concubine, you can't run away from the position of a side concubine.

Nangong Mowan'er smiled: "I really don't know, there are too many miscellaneous things in the past few days." ”

Sun Yan'er also smiled, "I heard the prince say that His Majesty intends to... A princess who came to our house. But now it seems that it shouldn't be Princess Lingxiang. "Regarding Xiao Qianjiong's request to accept a side concubine, Sun Yan'er doesn't care very much. After all, not everyone can have a good life like Nangong Mo, so that her husband can only devote himself to her. The relationship between her and Xiao Qianjiong is not bad, and there is a sister-in-law. Although the new concubine has the identity of a princess, the status of a princess in a small foreign country is not the same as that of a princess in the imperial court. For example, Anji's princess An Shu, once she entered the door, except for a few subordinates who brought her to marry, her background was actually not as good as that of the daughter of a third-grade official in the court. No matter how princess of a country is, if there is really anything, it is far from quenching your thirst, and it is impossible for the mother country to stare at you every day in this backyard. If the national strength of Great Xia is weak, it will be fine, and now that the national strength of Great Xia is rising, to be honest, a harmonious princess is really not a big deal.

Nangong Mo calculated and said, "The Father and Queen Palace does not plan to accept people, so the three princesses ......"

Sun Yan'er nodded, "The queen mother mentioned to us before that the three princesses, the eldest brother, the third brother and one each in our house. "As for the Chu Palace, the queen generally does not take the initiative to take care of the affairs in the backyard of the Chu Palace. And His Majesty obviously doesn't mean this, but I'm afraid that it's not that His Majesty the Emperor is stingy and refuses to give his son a friendly princess, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu himself doesn't want it.

Nangong Mo said: "Princess Dongzhu and Princess An Shu are both good. "Although Princess An Shu is a little scheming, as a woman, who can not be scheming? Princess An Shu's dim sum machine is nothing. For a period of time in the future, Great Xia will inevitably rely on Wara, so Princess Dongzhu can't be lazy. However, Warat had already declared himself a vassal to Bactria and the leader of Warat accepted the canonization of the prince of the county. It is equivalent to the courtiers of Great Xia, and the sister of the county king said that she was a princess, but in fact she was at most a county lord. Princess Dongzhu and the leader of Warat are not people who don't know the importance of things, so they shouldn't cause trouble. On the contrary, it is Princess Lingxiang, this princess is really good, but as long as she is still ambitious, she will always be an unstable factor.

Therefore, Sun Yan'er is glad that Princess Lingxiang has nothing to do with Xiao Qianjiong, which is also good.

Nangong Mo looked at Zhu Chuyu and Princess Lingxiang who were walking away, and couldn't help but smile: It's really hard to say who these two people are calculating.

"Princess Chu, Princess Liang." Accompanied by Princess Dongzhu and Princess An Shu, Princess Dongzhu smiled heartily and neatly, but Princess An Shu had a faint look of gloom.

Nangong Mo nodded slightly and smiled: "Why don't the two princesses go out to play?" But what's wrong with the greetings? ”

Princess Dongzhu waved her hand again and again and said with a smile: "The princess is serious, we are all very good, but I haven't seen the two princesses for a few days, so I want to come and say hello." Brother Wang always said that Princess Chu was a heroine among women, Dongzhu didn't think so, and when I saw the princess's skills that day, I really knew that I was really that... Uh, sitting in the well and watching the sky. The princess's martial arts are so good! ”

Nangong Mowaner smiled, "The two princesses, please sit down." ”

Princess Dongzhu nodded in thanks, and pulled Princess An Shu to sit down together. Nangong Mo had a large number of these two people, compared to the bright smile on Princess Dongzhu's face, Princess An Shu was obviously smiling a little reluctantly. Of course, Nangong Mo also knew that among the envoys who came to Great Xia this time, if they were unlucky, they were afraid that there would be no other family except Anji. Prince Anji inexplicably got a strange illness and couldn't get up in bed, not to mention, Princess Anshu's reputation was even worse than Princess Lingxiang who was running around. The negotiations with Bactria also did not go well, and Anji originally thought that they were willing to honor Bactria as their suzerainty as the previous dynasty, and that Bactria would be overjoyed and then give Anji a heavy reward as a sign of grace. Unexpectedly, this time he miscalculated, throughout the ages, it has not been once or twice that Anji has turned his back on the suzerain. If it weren't for the fact that he still had to worry about the Northern Yuan now, Emperor Taichu would only have to consider whether to send troops directly over and let Anji truly become the territory of Great Xia from now on. That place is a little poor, but it's also a piece of land, isn't it? Therefore, how could such a primal emperor give them too many good faces, so that they would have no fear to come to Daxia in the future?

With the instigation of Emperor Taichu, the Bactria negotiation team led by His Royal Highness the King of Chu suppressed all kinds of terms proposed by An Ji, and added various regulations and so on. Prince Anji, who was still lying on the bed, almost jumped up from the bed when he saw the terms brought back by the envoy.

Princess An Shu is not stupid, she naturally knows that her situation is not very good, where can she be happy?

Originally, An Ji came to Emperor Taichu, who knows how to spread the rumor that Princess An Shu was interested in the King of Chu. So Emperor Taichu naturally refused to want her, and the king of Chu was also very good. But Emperor Taichu made it clear that the king of Chu would not marry the princesses of various countries. Of course, if you have a way to make the King of Chu willing to marry you, I will be happy to do it. But just looking at the indifferent appearance of the King of Chu, Princess An Shu couldn't help but shudder in her heart and shook her head.

Now, only King Xiang, King Zheng, and King Liang are left to choose from. Princess An Shu didn't plan to marry into King Zheng's mansion to be a concubine similar to a concubine, and that Princess Zheng was not easy to get along with at first glance, and there was a Princess Lingxiang watching from the side. King Xiang has not yet married a concubine, and King Liang and his wife seem to get along very well. It's just that Xiao Qianchi is a man after all, and Princess An Shu doesn't have much chance to get close, and he himself has the lowest sense of presence among the princes of Emperor Taichu. Therefore, Princess An Shu is most optimistic about Xiao Qianjiong, the king of Liang. In a word... Anyway, it's better than being sent back to Anji.
