Chapter 469: The princess arrives
On this day after receiving the holy decree, the rare King of Yanbei and Xiao Jingxi did not go out in the palace. Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin have been accustomed to having dinner with the princess in Jiuyang Hall for a while, so at noon on this day, the rare family sat at the same table again.
The atmosphere on the rare table was a little dull, because Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin didn't speak, and King Yanbei had a toothache expression since he appeared, and he didn't talk much. The most normal ones are the princess and Xiao Jingxi, they occasionally exchange a few inconsequential words, these two are worthy of being mother and son.
It wasn't until he finished eating this meal with an abnormal atmosphere that King Yanbei couldn't help but finally explode, patted the table and said, "Eh! I said, what's the matter with you? How do you think Lao Tzu is calculated this time, right? Aren't you sorry for all of you to throw a cold face at Lao Tzu? ”
Ren Yaochi glanced up at King Yanbei, and always felt that the prince's roar was a little lustful, and he listened carefully with some grievances. Then the family set their sights on the princess.
The princess said unhurriedly: "Why did the prince say this? ”
King Yanbei's punch was like hitting cotton, and it wilted in an instant.
After being silent for a while, King Yanbei cheered up again and looked meaningfully at Xiao Jingxi, who didn't speak: "Son! For the sake of your father, it is time for you to fulfill your filial piety. What is the ...... of the princess of Liao Why don't you take care of your father? ”
Ren Yaoqi: "......"
Xiao Jing's face did not change: "Father, this is unreasonable. ”
"Why is it unreasonable? You kid must not have read the Book of Filial Piety properly! King Yanbei frowned, and couldn't help but slap the table again, and the shelf was even bigger.
Xiao Jingxi glanced at King Yanbei: "There is no example of filial piety in the backyard of the elders in the Book of Filial Piety. ”
Everyone: "......" whose son is filial and includes the little wife who accepts his own son?
Seeing that King Yanbei stopped talking. Xiao Jingxi grinned again: "And...... My son is not in good health, isn't this what you have been talking about all the time? ”
King Yanbei's face was expressionless. The inside is roaring:! This kid still holds a grudge! Waiting for me here!
King Yanbei was inexplicably sad and indignant, and he couldn't find the words to refute for a while. Don't mention the grievances in my heart, but I can only compromise: "Then you have to find a way to help your father, right?" You can't just hang it up without caring about yourself. ”
Xiao Jingxi really thought about it seriously when he heard this, and then thoughtfully suggested to King Yanbei: "My son thinks that this matter is ......."
King Yanbei listened respectfully.
“…… It also needs to be considered in the long term. Xiao Jingxi finished speaking.
King Yanbei: "......" people are about to arrive, and you still have a long-term plan for a ball! Son, you really didn't wait for an opportunity to take revenge on your son?
The person who read the emperor's decree first entered Yunyang City, and the princess of Liao was still waiting in a courtyard outside the city for the Yanbei Palace's mansion to pick up people according to the etiquette system.
When Ren Yaoqi, Xiao Jingxi, and Xiao Jinglin came out of the Jiuyang Palace, they finally couldn't help but hesitate and asked, "That princess of Liao, father ...... him?"
Xiao Jingxi knew what Ren Yaoqi wanted to ask. He gave her a reassuring look: "Don't worry, father and mother can handle it." ”
Ren Yaochi couldn't help but look at Xiao Jinglin again.
Xiao Jinglin unexpectedly agreed with Xiao Jingxi's words, nodded expressionlessly: "Don't worry, father, he was just coquettish just now, and you will get used to it in the future." ”
Ren Yaoqi: How do she get used to this kind of thing ......!
No matter how coquettish or sprinkling the king of Yanbei is, the palace of Yanbei cannot leave the princess sent by the defeated country to fend for herself outside the city, which is really not graceful. Therefore, on the second day after receiving the holy decree, the king and princess of Yanbei sent a guard of honor to pick up the princess of Liao into the city.
On the day when the princess of Liao Kingdom entered the palace, Ren Yaoqi also went to the Qingzheng Hall with the people of Yanbei Palace.
King Yanbei and the princess sat on the throne. The old princess and Concubine Yun sat on either side of the upper seat, slightly lower than the position of the prince and the princess. During Ren Yao's period, Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin sat on the left side, and the people in the second room of the Xiao family sat opposite them.
The prince and the princess both have straight faces. Concubine Yun sat in her position and closed her eyes to recuperate, but the old princess looked in a very good mood, although she didn't say anything cool. But he turned his head and chatted with the second wife.
It wasn't until someone outside said that the princess of Liao Kingdom came that everyone turned their eyes to the outside of the Qingzheng Palace.
I saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman wearing a bright red Liao costume, led by several Yanbei Wangfu grandmothers, walked in. Most of the Liao people are tall and strong, although this Liao princess is a woman. But it also looks taller than the average woman of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the skeleton is relatively large. The beads on her white warm hat almost blocked half of her face, but she could vaguely see her facial contours and facial features, compared to the women of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this princess was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her face was slightly square, although her appearance did not quite match the aesthetics of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it was not ugly.
The princess of Liao walked to the middle, bent down slightly and made a Liao etiquette to the prince and princess who were above the head, and said in slightly stiff Chinese: "Yelu Sag has seen the prince and princess. ”
The princess smiled and bowed her head, asked a few polite words, and then asked people to lead the princess of Liao to a seat.
Jerusag frowned, looked at the crowd and said with some uncertainty, "Is the ceremony over?" ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Yelu Sag looked at the prince and princess above and asked, "Aren't there a lot of cumbersome etiquette for you Han people to get married?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the temple fell silent.
The old princess couldn't help laughing, glanced at the princess and said, "This princess of the vassal kingdom not only speaks Chinese, but also knows etiquette, and it is rare to arrive. ”
Yelu Sag kept looking at King Yanbei and the princess, as if he was waiting for them to answer.
King Yanbei said expressionlessly: "You speak Chinese well, but you haven't learned etiquette." There are many etiquettes for Han people to get married, but Han men can only marry one wife. ”
Jerusag frowned: "But your emperor married my sister before......"
King Yanbei interrupted: "The emperor is the emperor, and this king is just a prince, and he cannot be above the etiquette law. And the emperor is not marrying a concubine, but a concubine, marrying and accepting are different. The holy decree under the court has already made you a side concubine, so there is no need for this king to make any more gifts. Although King Yanbei was still expressionless, there was already some impatience in his voice.
Although Yelu Sag could speak Chinese, he was not proficient enough to be able to chew words, so after listening to King Yanbei's words, he opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words, smiled at King Yanbei, bowed his head obediently, and said: "The concubine understands, thank you for the teaching, the concubine will work hard to learn Han etiquette in the future." ”
Although she is not wrong to call herself a concubine, everyone always feels a little awkward when she listens to it.
Out of many considerations, neither the old princess nor the second room of the Xiao family had any moths at this time. Xiao Jingyue had a mess last time when Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi got married, and then he suffered several inexplicable secret losses for a while, and this time he learned to be obedient. Yelu Sag is the princess of Liao, and her identity is a little sensitive, in case someone is accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, then the game is over.
Yelu Sag was arranged to live in the Cold Incense Courtyard, although the Cold Incense Courtyard is not as large as the several main halls of the Yanbei Palace, but it is not remote, and it is also close to Xiao Jinglin's Xihe Palace, and it is not very far from the Jiuyang Hall of the prince and the princess.
King Yanbei did not stay in the Qingzheng Hall for a long time, and sat for a while before going to the outer courtyard.
I don't know if Lu Dao is Ren Yaoqi's illusion, she always feels that the princess of Liaoguo just now stopped her eyes on King Yanbei, could it be that these two people still knew each other before?
With this question, when Yelu Sag was sent by the princess to the Cold Incense Courtyard, Ren Yaochi and Xiao Jinglin came out together, he couldn't help but whisper this question.
Xiao Jinglin said in a normal tone: "I don't know if she and her father recognize me, but I have met Yelu Sag twice before." The Liao people are different from our Han Chinese, many of them are also good at riding and shooting, I have seen this Liao princess on the battlefield, although she has not fought against her, but she is definitely good at martial arts. Saying that, Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi, and Zhengse explained, "You don't usually have contact with her, otherwise if she has any bad intentions, you will be in danger." ”
Ren Yaochi nodded, she naturally avoided this princess of Liao, and she didn't need any friendship anyway.
In the evening, the prince did not return to the house for dinner, but the princess still arranged a few tables of banquets for Yelu Sag, which was regarded as welcoming her into the mansion. From beginning to end, the princess did not show any dissatisfaction with Yelu Sag's entry into the palace, the princess has always been a reasonable person, she understands that Yelu Sag's entry into the palace is not a simple concubine, but a contest between various forces, and has nothing to do with personal affairs, and the name of Yelu Sag's side concubine is just a name.
Obviously, King Yanbei also thought so, so when he came back at night, he still rested in the Jiuyang Palace, not the Cold Fragrance Courtyard. The people in Yanbei Wangfu didn't think there was anything wrong, and even the old princess didn't care about this idle matter.
But the next day, Yelu Sag came to the Jiuyang Hall early in the morning, and asked King Yanbei suspiciously in front of everyone: "Why didn't the prince go to the concubine's courtyard to rest last night." ”
Everyone who had breakfast in the Jiuyang Hall silently turned their heads to look at King Yanbei.
The corners of Yan Beiwang's eyes twitched, and he felt that there was only one word that could express his mood at the moment:!
In the end, the princess calmly relieved the siege of King Yanbei, and said to Yelu Sag: "The princess hasn't eaten yet, right?" Let's sit down and eat together. ”
Yelu Sag nodded, accepted the princess's kindness, sat down on the chair that the princess asked her to bring her, and sat next to Xiao Jinglin, and after thanking the princess, Yelu Sag also said seriously: "Sister, don't call me princess, according to Han etiquette, the princess should call me sister." ”
Princess: "......".
