"Put it in the harem." Liu Xuan didn't care much and said: "Anyway, there is not much more of her in the harem, and there is no less of her." ”

Li Che raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his deep eyes flashed with a smile: "Why do I smell a sour smell?" Don't worry, the princess of Liao is going to point out to Liu Zhiqing, if she enters my harem, it will definitely be inappropriate, it is better to let her live in the annex for the time being, and get acquainted with Mrs. Liu first. ”

Liu Xuan frowned: "Even if you live in the annex, it can only be for a while, and you can't live for three years." ”

Li Che raised the corners of his lips and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way." ”

When Liu Xuan heard this, he secretly rolled his eyes, since he had already made a plan, why did he deliberately propose it before? I'm afraid I deliberately want to see how she tastes.

She silently despised Li Che's little chicken belly in her heart, then turned her back to him and went to read.

The news that Cao Fei was cut off and sent to Xuchang'an has been spread, but as for why Cao Fei was punished like this, no one knows.

There is a Cao family who wants to intercede for Cao Fei, but he was reprimanded by Li Che when the court, and since then, everyone has understood some truths, and this harem matter is not something that the court can interfere in.

Three days later, Liu Cheng led the envoy delegation back to the court, Li Che personally led the civil and military officials to greet outside the palace, and the palace set up a banquet to entertain Liu Cheng and the envoys that night, of course, the important thing is to welcome the Liao princess Jin He who came to make peace.

Li Che and Empress Dowager Cao sat on the upper seat, Liu Xuan sat on the lower left seat of Li Che, now she is six months pregnant, although she is wearing a thick winter coat, she can still see her high bulging abdomen at a glance.

Today's protagonist is Liu Cheng. Liu Cheng's trip can be said to be a full return, becoming the emperor's new favorite is a sure thing, whether it is Liu Taifu's faction or Cao Taishi's faction, they all stepped forward to toast Liu Cheng, and all they wanted was to draw him to their own faction.

Liu Cheng is a good at sophistry, he speaks without leakage, neither refuses nor caters, and after a few times, everyone knows it. I'm afraid that this Liu Cheng will not belong to any faction.

The crowd drinks. Liu Xuan could only drink some tea because she was pregnant, and she looked at Liu Cheng, who was surrounded by everyone in the center and talking, with a smile on her face.

When Liu Cheng was talking to everyone. Occasional gaze comes. saw Liu Xuan smiling and raising a glass to him. He was slightly stunned at first, and then almost invisibly raised the cup in his hand to her.

The silk and bamboo singing and dancing on the main hall correspondingly, and it is very lively. This banquet is the first time since Li Che ascended the throne to invite the ministers, everyone has been frightened this year, finally with such an opportunity, naturally relax a lot, not long after a while after three rounds of wine, it will show some true temperament.

Empress Dowager Cao seems to be a little tired these days, even if the main hall is very lively, she seems to be lacking in interest, but Li Che doesn't care, Liu Xuan doesn't care, although the people of the Cao family see it, they can't open their mouths to inquire in detail, after all, the Cao family has had many disasters this year, first there was an accident in Shaanxi, and then several humerus ministers were damaged, and finally even Shuyi in the harem was sent to Xuchang'an.

Now the Cao family is just working hard to make some achievements, so as not to be greatly suppressed from now on.

In such a situation, Empress Dowager Cao's tiredness is not so important.

When everyone was in the middle of drinking, suddenly the sound of silk and bamboo stopped, and it turned out to be a song and dance. After the singers retreated, the sound of silk and bamboo rose again, and several women wearing Liao clothes slowly entered with veils.

One of the women was enchanting, wearing a white veil to cover her face, which was particularly eye-catching among a group of Liaofu women.

Liu Xuan knew in her heart, it seemed that this woman in white was the princess of the Liao Kingdom, Jin He.

The dance of the Liao Kingdom is very different from the dance of the dynasty, the song and dance of the dynasty mostly shows the femininity of women, while the dance of the Liao State is more bold and enthusiastic, and there are few soft parts, but more of a vigorous atmosphere.

Everyone's eyes were gradually attracted to the past, and there was a sudden silence on the main hall, only the sound of silk bamboo drums, and the coquettish cheers of Liao dancers.

At the end of the song, the dancers of the Liao Kingdom took the veils one after another, and Jin He stepped forward, spoke fluent Central Plains dialect, and saluted Li Che: "This dance is called the Horse Training Dance, dedicated to the emperor of the dynasty." ”

Li Che nodded: "It is rumored that Jin He, the princess of Liao, is the first beauty of Liao, and when I saw it today, it really deserved her name. ”

Jin He smiled, pointed at Liu Xuan and said, "Jin He wants to sit beside that lady, I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor can agree?" ”

Li Che frowned when he heard this, Liu Xuan was now heavy, he didn't want her to come, but she wanted to see Jin He, and he could only follow her, but after all, this Jin He was from the Liao Kingdom, and he didn't know the details, and now he pointed to Liu Xuan as soon as he came, and it was hard to guarantee that there would be no attempts.

He was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Liu Xuan, who listened, said with a smile: "The princess is a person of temperament, and it is impossible to sit on the side of the palace." ”

Li Che glanced at her, saw a smile in her eyes, and nodded immediately: "Yes, come and give me a seat." ”

Immediately, a palace maid added a chair next to Liu Xuan's desk, Jin He thanked him, and then strode to Liu Xuan's side and sat down.

The sound of silk and bamboo above the main hall rose again, and suddenly it began to be lively again.

Liu Xuan smiled and looked at the first beauty of the Liao country, Jin He's facial features are not very deep, but the people of the Central Plains are slightly erect, the complexion is not as fair as the people of the Central Plains, but a light honey color, the skin is delicate and shiny and ruddy, and she really deserves the title of the first beauty of the Liao country.

Jin He calmly met Liu Xuan's gaze, and when Liu Xuan was almost done, she smiled and said, "Guifei Niangniang thinks Jin He is still worthy of your brother-in-law?" ”

Liu Xuan was stunned when she heard this, and she smiled slightly: "Why did the princess say this?" ”

Jin He smiled heartily: "The concubine Niangniang doesn't know, I have been yearning for the Central Plains culture since I was a child, and I have heard a lot about the talents of the Central Plains, and the most heard is Liu Zhiqing, who is known as the world's first talent, because of curiosity, I begged my father to find his portrait for me, and since then my heart has belonged, I heard that he has not married a wife for many years, and there is not even a concubine at home, and my heart is even more happy. ”

Liu Xuan was even more surprised when she heard this: "You asked for the kiss this time?" ”

Jin He smiled and nodded: "Exactly, you girls in the Central Plains are too reserved." And in our Liao country, liking is to be fought for. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xuan couldn't help but think of She Huanxue, She Huanxue was the righteous daughter of the national teacher of Liao, and she must have been deeply influenced by the customs of Liao, but she really couldn't accept that kind of way of fighting.

Thinking of this, she asked tentatively: "If the righteous brother of this palace is not happy with the princess, what should the princess do?" ”

Jin He blinked, with a look of distress on his face: "I am the first beauty in Liao." Although it may not be as feminine as your Central Plains women. But the appearance is not bad, and I have read a lot of books for him, and in your Central Plains words, she is a talented woman. Why does he dislike me? ”

Listened to this. Liu Xuan couldn't laugh or cry. This Liao princess has a hearty temperament, and she doesn't know what modesty is, but she is an interesting person. According to the temperament of willow branches. It should be joyful, but fate is difficult to say.

She coughed lightly, suppressed the smile on her lips, and said, "If it's the righteous brother of this palace, do you really don't like the princess?" ”

"Then I'll try to make him like it." Jin He pouted: "I'm so good, even for him to be willing to throw away the identity of the princess, I even thought about Yan Yingxue, the name of the Central Plains, if he still doesn't like it, I can only say that he has a bad eye." ”

The corners of Liu Xuan's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this: "The word love is very unreasonable, it's not that you're good, if you like him, he will like you, if he really doesn't like the princess, what will happen to the princess?" ”

Seeing her straight face, Jin He lowered his head and frowned and began to think seriously about this question.

Seeing her pondering, Liu Xuan didn't bother her, only took the fruit and tea on the table and used it, enjoying the singing and dancing.

After a while, Jin He finally opened his mouth: "What Niang Niang thinks, Jin He has never thought about it, but what Niang Niang said is right, the word love is very unreasonable, even if I am good, he doesn't like it is not good, a man who doesn't know me well, why should I be entangled, there are so many good men in the world, and he is not the only one!" ”

Hearing such a sonorous and powerful answer, Liu Xuan nodded secretly, as long as it wasn't as crazy as She Huanxue.

She smiled and said: "The princess is very affectionate, and the righteous brother of this palace is also a wanton and free and easy, and the princess is a match made in heaven, presumably the righteous brother will also be happy." ”

Jin He raised his chin when he heard this, and looked proud: "That's it." ”

Seeing her like this, Liu Xuan almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, and forcibly swallowed it to avoid losing her manners.

Jin He is really a very affectionate person, and when he said that he changed his name, he stood up on the spot and announced his Central Plains name to everyone, and asked everyone to call her Yan Yingxue in the future, and everyone didn't know what to do, so they had to set their eyes on Li Che.

Li Che seemed to know the temperament of this golden lotus very well, and nodded immediately: "As the princess said, from now on, in the Central Plains, there will be no golden lotus, only Yan Yingxue." ”

Jin He smiled and nodded, and then directly pointed to Liu Zhiming sitting in the hall and said: "I know you, you are Liu Zhiqing's younger brother, and I will be your sister-in-law in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, many ministers who were drinking, squirted out before they could swallow a sip of wine, Liu Xuan looked at it with a smile, it's really good, it's not her alone who has the urge to spray wine.

Liu Zhiming swallowed the wine in his mouth, and it took a long time to find his senses with difficulty, and said: "Princess, my brother is on patrol outside on the orders of His Majesty, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to Beijing within three years. ”

Jin He didn't think it was a pestle, she nodded: "I already know about this matter, and His Majesty the Emperor has already written to me to explain that it doesn't matter, I will look for him if he doesn't return to Beijing." ”

The people in the hall were stunned when they heard this, they had never seen such a bold and unrestrained princess, first they decided not to talk about their own family affairs, and now they want to take the initiative to chase Liu Zhiqing, which simply subverted their perception of women.

A minister stood up and said: "The princess came to my court to be married, and the marriage is decided by His Majesty, how can she be so pro-minded?" ”

Jin He snorted lightly: "I asked for this harmony, and the person who wants to make peace has already made it clear, His Majesty the Emperor agreed, and I came all the way here." ”

Everyone has not heard of this, most of them thought that the princess of Liao Kingdom came to marry Li Che, they thought that the harem was going to enter the people, and they were happy about it, but they never thought that this was the case.

Li Che nodded, affirmed Jin He's words, and said lightly: "The princess came from afar, or stay in the annex for a while." ”

The people above the hall are all human spirits, where can I not hear the meaning of Li Che's words, live for a period of time, not for three years, it can be seen that I agree with this princess of Liao to find willow branches.

So they sat down again, and went to drink, each of them.

Jin He also sat down again, and was about to raise her glass to talk to Liu Xuan, but when she saw the gaze of the Empress Dowager Cao on the high seat, she frowned and glared fiercely, the Empress Dowager Cao never thought that a foreign princess would dare to be so unreasonable to her, and she was a little angry at the moment.

Seeing this, Liu Xuan hurriedly spoke: "The customs and customs of the Liao country are different from those of my dynasty, the princess is straightforward and has no malice, and she is a guest from afar, so the queen mother must not worry about her generally." ”

Empress Dowager Cao snorted coldly when she heard this, and glanced at Liu Xuan: "It's really like a gathering of things!" ”

Li Che, who was on the side, immediately frowned when he heard this: "Xuan'er and the princess of Liao are both upright people, and I look very good." ”

Li Che's words were like slapping the Empress Dowager Cao's face in public, but she couldn't do anything, and immediately got up and waved her sleeves: "The mourning family is a little tired, so it's not here to hinder Your Majesty's eyes." After speaking, she commanded Mama Song, and then left angrily.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Cao left the table angrily, the originally lively hall suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at each other, all of them looking a little embarrassed.

Li Che didn't care at all, and said lightly: "Liu Aiqing, you have made a lot of contributions to the Liao State this time, but what reward did you want?" ”

One sentence turned everyone's minds to state affairs, Liu Cheng got up and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, this is a matter within the minister's responsibility, fortunately Your Majesty values it, and the minister has the opportunity to serve the country, and he should not be rewarded by His Majesty." ”

Li Che raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at him and said, "Do you really want anything?" ”

Liu Cheng nodded: "Your Majesty can value it, the minister has been fortunate for three lives, and the minister doesn't want any reward, I just hope that Your Majesty can let the minister say a few words to Concubine Liu." ”

As soon as Liu Cheng's words came out, everyone was stunned, Li Che looked at him for a long time, and then nodded: "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it in front of hundreds of officials." ”

"Obey." Liu Cheng turned around and bowed deeply to Liu Xuan, with excitement on his face, he clenched his fists, and then said, "Concubine Niangniang, have you ever remembered the minister?" The minister has been regretting all these years, if he hadn't made such a mistake, Niangniang would not have suffered so much, the minister did not dare to ask for forgiveness, only hoped that Niangniang could personally return to the minister a word, Niangniang has been good these years? (To be continued.) )
