Song Huaijin smiled proudly: "I am a big Chinese, but the trade is more developed than any country, plus the country is full of gold and silver deposits, all kinds of gems, the wealth of the Chinese people is not something that others can imagine, you will naturally know after staying for a long time." ”

While he was talking, the people in the fields learned of the return of their prince, and they all came together to pay their respects.

Song Huaijin showed his face, said a few words, and then told the people to disperse and let the convoy continue to move forward.

After that, the convoy went forward, and after a short time, it stopped in front of a post house, and the guards had come to report that they would rest here for the night, and then set off for the capital the next day.

Song Huaijin got out of the car, helped Ji Songxian down, and entered the post house, and introduced Ji Songxian: "The post house here is not the same as the Xia Dynasty, the Xia Dynasty post house specializes in entertaining officials, and all officials' relatives are free accommodation, but Dahua is not the same, the post house is an official's business, the state subsidizes one or two, and the rest has to pay for the officials who come and go. ”

Speaking of this, Song Huaijin asked the head of the guard to take some gold and silver and give it to Yicheng as a place to rest, eat and drink.

Ji Songxian became more and more puzzled: "Officials want to take money, and you, as a prince, also want to take money?" Also, are there no palaces in Dahua? ”

Song Huaijin smiled: "In order to reduce the burden of the people, my mother is not called to set up a palace, not only me, but also my mother who travels to live in the post house also has to take money to subsidize it." ”

Ji Songxian listened to it, thinking about it in his heart, he only felt that this Great Huaguo was extremely fresh everywhere, and he was even more curious about what kind of person Her Majesty the Empress was.

When they entered the post house, someone had already sent hot water for them to wash, and a few girls around Liang borrowed the kitchen of the post house to cook some meals for Ji Songxian to eat.

For a while, everyone was busy, Ji Songxian took a boat to walk this way, and he didn't rest when he went ashore, this son was very tired, and after eating, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Song Huaijin saw that she was asleep and carefully covered her with a quilt before coming out, went out, called Yicheng to give some instructions, and called the guards to ask them to go outside to buy some fresh food and toys and the like, in case Ji Songxian woke up and enjoyed.

After the order was finished, Song Huaijin entered the house and hugged Ji Songxian to rest.

After a night of silence, the group set off at dawn the next day, and after another three or five days, the convoy arrived at the capital.

The name of the capital of the Great China is St. An'an, many people also call St. Ann the city as the city of flowing gold, it is said that this city of St. Ann was originally a place where the Jinsha River flows, there were many people who mined gold here in the early days, and then I don't know how, the little bit of Jinsha is gone, and the river is gradually drying up, so that it is extinct, however, the name of this gold is left.

Ji Songxian lifted the curtain to take a look when he was far away from St. Ann City, and when he looked at it this way, he saw that St. Ann's City was bigger than Jinling City, and the city was also higher, but there were not as many pedestrians as Jinling City.

After entering the city, Ji Songxian became more and more emotional.

St. Ann's City is very large, the streets are also wide and tidy, no matter the streets and alleys, they are paved with smooth bluestone, and the sprinkles are also very clean, both shops and residences on both sides of the street are extremely tidy, and the pedestrians are neatly dressed, polite in words and deeds, but there is a pride in the look of a big country and a powerful country.

This is something that the people of Jinling City do not have, Ji Songxian saw that even if the prince's car passed by, although the people said that they were aside, they were not afraid, but many people respected more, some gave a slight salute from afar, and some stopped on the side of the road and waited until the convoy passed before continuing to move forward.

The convoy kept moving forward, and about an hour later, it was in the center of St. Ann's City, looking at the palace from afar.

Don't look at the city of Sheng'an is very big, but the palace of the Great Chinese Kingdom is very small, far less than half the size of the palace of the Great Xia Kingdom, looking at it from a distance, the momentum is not as good as the Ziji Palace, but where the red walls and yellow tiles, the carved beams and paintings are not at all, it looks very simple, and it is only a little better than some rich families in Great Xia.

Ji Songxian glanced at Song Huaijin, Song Huaijin smiled: "Mother is a woman, and she has not married, so naturally she doesn't need a big house to install a harem of 3,000, and I am only you, I will not accept the small, it is useless to build such a big house, not only the people and money, but also the living is not comfortable, it is better to be simple, my mother once said, but all the monarchs of Dahua are monogamous, unless there are no children, otherwise no concubines are allowed." ”

"So, women can also be emperors in the future?" Ji Songxian was more and more surprised.

Song Huaijin nodded: "Mother is a woman, naturally a woman can be the emperor in the future, as long as the two of us give birth to a daughter, even if we have no son, we are not afraid of anything." ”

Ji Songxian's heart suddenly relaxed.

Although her body is not very strong, but it is also successful to have children, in Daxia, she is afraid that she will not be able to give birth to a son to inherit the heir, this son will hear Song Huaijin's words, and he will understand in his heart, no matter whether she gives birth to a son or a daughter, as long as she can give birth to one, Song Huaijin will never lead someone to the family to block her.

In this way, Ji Songxian smiled more and more happily.

However, it was only a moment's work, and when the car entered the palace, Ji Songxian became nervous.

The carriage stopped not long after entering the palace, and Ji Songxian followed Song Huaijin to get out of the car, and looked at a middle-aged woman dressed very neatly and standing in front with a smile.

Song Huaijin immediately smiled when she saw this woman: "Aunt Ping." ”

Ji Songxian knew that this woman was Bai Ping, the personal attendant of the empress mentioned to her by Song Huaijin, and she was very favored by the empress, so she also went over and said a few words with a smile, Bai Ping gave Ji Songxian a salute, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, the crown prince and the crown princess come with me." ”

After speaking, Bai Ping went all the way forward, Song Huaijin and Ji Songxian followed, bypassed a small gate, and crossed a path, and saw a small courtyard in the distance, this courtyard did not use brick walls, nor did it have any wooden doors, but it was surrounded by carved wooden fences, which was very transparent.

There are many roses planted in the courtyard, and there is a small pond, which is used for fish farming, and a white swing is set up on the side, and the two sides of the swing are full of flowers of various colors, and many flower stands are set up near the wooden fence, so that people can only feel comfortable when they see it.

In an instant, Ji Songxian knew that the empress must be a person who can enjoy life very well.

After entering the courtyard, he walked along the path paved with small stones for a while and arrived in front of the house, and saw Bai Ping bowing slightly: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and the crown princess ask to see you." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened, Song Huaijin took Ji Songxian's hand and entered the house, as soon as she entered the house, she saw a bead curtain, all of which were strung with huge white pearls.

Bypassing the bead curtain, I saw a glass screen with a marble base painted with scenery, behind the screen, there were many light blue gauze curtains, a gust of incense blew through, and the sand curtain was lifted, Ji Songxian watched a young woman wearing a bright yellow embroidered skirt with a hundred birds and a phoenix slowly walking out.

As soon as this woman came out, Ji Songxian was stunned.

Ji Songxian thinks that she is the color of the country and has a beautiful face, but this woman is not worse than her in appearance, but her temperament is better than her, the woman is noble and magnificent, graceful and luxurious, and has an indescribable majesty, as if as long as she stands there, everyone else has to kneel at her feet and obey orders, no matter who it is, it is irresistible.

Looking at this woman, Ji Songxian didn't dare to come out.

At this time, Song Huaijin stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Mother." ”

When Ji Songxian heard these two words, his eyes widened at the boss, and his face was full of surprise.

Song Huaijin pulled her, Ji Songxian still couldn't come back to his senses, Song Huaijin was about to say something, the woman smiled, came over a few steps and glanced at Ji Songxian a few times, and then whispered: "I originally said that the emperor must find the princess in Daxia, and said that it was a stunning woman who fascinated my emperor, but now at a glance, it is really a stunning one, and it is no wonder that the emperor must marry in his heart." ”

Ji Songxian's heart was full of surprise like a tumbling wave, and he couldn't help but open his mouth for a while and asked: "You, you are the empress of Dahua, my mother-in-law?" ”

The Empress chuckled, "Exactly." ”

"How?" Ji Songxian wanted to ask the empress why she was so young, it stands to reason that the empress should be older than her real mother-in-law Song, but before she could say anything, she was shocked and rude, and hurriedly took a deep blessing: "I can't afford to be young, it's too rude, mother forgive." ”

The empress was not surprised, and pulled her up: "Forgive me for any crime, but anyone who sees me for the first time must be shocked, you are still good, some people say that they don't believe that I am the empress." ”

Speaking of this, the empress waved her hand to Song Huaijin: "You go by yourself, let's talk something quietly." ”

Song Huaijin agreed and withdrew, and Ji Songxian became more and more nervous.

The empress smiled and pulled her to sit down, first asked some gossip, such as Ji Yi is good, Wu is good and so on, and then asked about what she had seen and heard along the way, and asked about this call, Ji Songxian was not so nervous, and the empress said: "This is just a skill to stay in the face, this face is young, this heart, I am old early." ”

"You are not old at all, look at you, where is it like my mother, saying that my sister is believed by anyone." Ji Songxian also replied with a smile.

The empress waved her hand and said, "Don't coax me, I know it in my heart." ”

Seeing Ji Songxian bowing her head, the empress asked again: "Has your mother-in-law ever mentioned me?" ”

Ji Songxian raised his head violently, and quickly shook his head, and the empress sighed lightly: "I can't say, she is to blame me." ”

Seeing that Ji Songxian became more and more puzzled, the empress explained: "You don't know a lot of things, I just let me listen to you today, and save you from guessing, I was the daughter of the Song family, but I was born and lost my own mother, and I was almost tossed by the concubine, and then my stepmother came in, she was a good one, and raised me in front of me, although it was not as good as my own child, but it was also good, and then your mother-in-law was born, our sisters were excellent, but I jumped out of it when I was young, and I didn't know how to restrain and make a lot of things. has a great reputation, speaking of which, the marriage of the Chengguo Mansion was originally mine, but at that time I was ...... I asked your mother-in-law to marry me instead, so that I had those who didn't, she complained about me, and I ......."

Ji Songxian listened to the empress speak slowly, and his heart was even more turbulent, but he didn't think that there was such a thing in it. (To be continued.) )
