Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Banquet for Envoys from All Countries
Tang Min twisted his slender and elegant thumb and middle finger to flick the place on his body that had just been pounced on by Xiaomi, and looked at Xiaomi with contempt.
Wind and rain millet felt that there was an indescribable, fat powder smell on him. So he also made a "car" sound, turned his head and didn't look at him. A man, so sissy, can't stand it if he plays a piece of clothing and has to turn into a lotus finger.
She waved her hand and said, "Don't lead the way for this palace yet!" ”
and Tang Min went to Dehonglu Temple, and Fengyu Mi looked through the classics and saw his superior, Master Cui of Honglu Temple. Master Cui is experienced, and he has a lot of treasures about Fanbang affairs, and he told the story eloquently, and introduced a total of five princesses who have been envoys and relatives since the dynasty.
Zhenguan has a "Nanyang Princess" for ten years, and she is married to the Turks;
In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, there was a "Honghua Princess", who married Tuguhun;
In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, that is, this year, three princesses were lost at once.
Among them, "Princess Langya" married Tubo; "Princess Jiujiang", "Lord of Dingxiang County" married the Turks.
After speaking, he glanced at the wind and rain millet, and now the princess of Zhongyi, this should have been taken to kiss, right? I don't know what the emperor was particularly gracious to Lu Dao, and he didn't take her into account.
"In this way, there are already so many princesses in my Heavenly Empire who have been sent to Fanbang and relatives." Wind and rain millet asked in surprise.
I heard that those Fanbang people are very barbaric, Ru Mao drinks blood, and is shared by brothers and wives, and there is also a custom of entertaining guests with wives, and few Central Plains women are willing to live that kind of savage-like life.
The surrounding countries of Daqin, Hor, Gesa, Tianzhu, Dashi, Tubo, and Turkic all sent envoys to ask for peace. Although the emperor intends to give up this quota to the powerful Tibetan, he must also do a beautiful job for him so that the envoys of other countries will not see the flaws.
"Okay, then the palace wants to see these messengers, and trouble the adults to help arrange it."
"Yes, tonight, Xia Guan will set up a banquet in the guest house of Honglu Temple opposite to feast the prince and the envoys."
Wind and rain millet set itself a main task: to see beautiful men. It is not a lack of beauty in the world, but a lack of discovery. Like Princess Chengyang, she was scared away as soon as she heard that she was a barbarian, which was really too petty.
At the feast in the evening, the wind and rain millet sat behind a screen and observed them.
Those messengers wore all kinds of clothes, some wore crooked hats and slanted clothes, open chests, and indecent.
Especially those envoys of the Wa Kingdom, who were short, with shaved and bald heads, and a lump in the middle, were simply ugly to death.
Those people in strange costumes from the Western Regions attracted the attention of Wind and Rain Millet.
They were tall and strong, some had deep eyes, white skin and black hair;
Some have beards all over their faces, and their hair is long and piled up on their heads in strange shapes;
Some have collapsed noses, dark skin, and dark hair. These are supposed to be countries near the frontier.
Those who are a little farther away are even stranger, with hooked noses, red and yellow hair, and green eyes, which are not at all similar to the people of the Tang Dynasty.
The prince of the Great Qin Kingdom (Persia) wore a long turban on his head, a linen vertical collar and a tight double-breasted multi-patterned trim on his upper body, bloomer trousers, and transparent jade eyes. Handsome and talkative, it seems that people who grew up in rich countries seem to be a little more civilized.
The envoys of the Tubo Kingdom were the loudest in the whole field, shouting and drinking, and they were now strong in force, and they also looked proud among the countries. They put their robes around their waists with belts, and drank wine, so that they looked like people from barbarian countries.
Wind and rain millet shook her head and said, "It's too ugly!" ”
Tang Min also sat on the side in order to explain to her today, and he sneered when he heard it: "A woman's opinion! Do you know who the unattractive man who sat among them was? ”
"Oh, tell me about it?"
"He is Lu Dongzan, and he is the messenger of the Tubo people who came this time. This person is witty and cunning, and last time he went to Nibra for the Tibetan Zanpu Songtsen Gampo and married the princess of Chizun. ”
"What do you mean by wit and cunning, are you derogatory or praised?" This sour tone is obviously jealousy.
Tang Min ignored her, picked up the wine glass and drank alone, and let her look slowly.
Da Shi is also a superpower, and it is on both sides of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the overlord of the world. However, they don't have as advanced skills as Datang, so they send more people to learn and communicate. The big food merchants are also the most in Chang'an. They have high noses and deep eyes, dark skin and full beards, and like to wear high hats, white robes, and shiny silver knives pinned to their waists.
The people who watched the Honglu Inn don't need chopsticks and soup spoons to serve the meals they were all hand-to-hand. She stabbed Tang Min again, "Customs? ”
"According to the teachings of the Great Food Nation, at five o'clock they will pray and praise their Allah."
One question and one answer began again.
"Da Shi and Da Qin should be close together, right? There are some commonalities in their outfits. ”
"Yes."
"What kind of teachings is the Great Qin Kingdom preaching?"
"Nestorianism, the belief in a God called Christ. Five years ago, the emperor gave them permission to preach in this dynasty. ”
Wind and rain millet nodded, today's holy lord is really inclusive of the world, tolerant and merged, with a broad mind and foresight to attract the Quartet to come to the court.
It's really unpleasant to sit behind the screen, the close ones have their backs to themselves, and the far ones are too far away to see clearly. On the one hand, I am afraid that I will be looked up and carved up, but on the other hand, I really want to see a beautiful man, and I feel like a cat's claw in my heart, my hands are propped on the case, and my head is stretched out to the right, scratching my ears and cheeks in a hurry, and the posture is indecent.
"Does the princess want to see the barbarians up close?" Tang Min asked lightly.
"Yes! What can you do? ”
Tang Min stood up and opened the screen with a brush.
It happened that the representative of Tianzhu Kingdom was on the opposite side and looked at it. Behind the screen appeared a beautiful woman, dressed in extravagant clothes, which made everyone who was eating stupid, chopsticks dropped, wiped their mouths after a few seconds, arranged their hair, arranged their clothes, and made a mess.
The wind and rain millet is frightened, and a peeping princess is put on the surface, how can this be a good fight. She glared at Tang Min fiercely, eager to kick Tang Min out of the way.
"Don't panic, all the envoys, this is the princess of this king's righteous sister. On the order of the emperor, I came to express my condolences to the envoys. The prince didn't know when he stood up and smiled at the wind and rain. His own interpreter translated his words out of the picture.
"Oh, it's a princess."
"How come we didn't get the news."
"Are you starting to kiss today?" Those people started talking.
Wind and rain millet posture gracefully walked slowly to the prince, please be safe. Then he turned to everyone and greeted everyone in various languages.
To the Great Food and the Great Qin Messenger: Race the Dragon Mother!
To the Tibetan envoy: Tashi Delek!
To the Tianzhu Messenger: That horse is dead!
To the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom: You help dig the hole!
To the envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom: What do you drink!
Those Yidi states were really surprised to hear the language of their hometown coming out of the mouth of the Tang princess, and they suddenly felt a sense of affection for this princess.
Fengyu Mi said to Brother Siren, his own translator, who followed him: "You just tell them that I want to perform a show." ”
"What are you going to perform?"
"Play the piano."
Wind and rain Siren was startled, this millet sister's piano skills have long been heard, don't scare away visitors from all over the world, it doesn't matter if you scare away, it will damage the national body if it is rumored to go!
The prince saw his embarrassed appearance and asked what the situation was, and later learned what was going on, and ordered his subordinates: "Take my Xiao!" ”
A black jade flute was presented. He cherished touching it up and down for a while, and said, "Xiaomi, would you like to play a song with me?" ”
"Prince, you can also?"
"What do you mean? This prince is proficient in music and rhythm, I don't know if you can keep up? He raised his eyebrows, and a little warmth flew out of Danfeng's eyes.
"What's the tune?"
"Surely you're familiar with it." He smiled.
