Some of them are countries that he has heard of, but some of them have not even been heard of by himself, Qin Kexin didn't care so much, and wanted to write them down first, because many of the names of these countries are very awkward, and after a few days, as the mother of a pass, he will be embarrassed if he mispronounces it.

It was originally a very bland thing, but when Qin Kexin turned to the last page, he couldn't take his eyes off.

On the last page, there are three big characters in the last row - Western Qi Kingdom.

It is the hometown of the West Guifei.

But Qin Kexin immediately thought of what Concubine Xi told her experience: she was threatened by the king of Xiqi to come to the Central Plains as a concubine!

And Qin Kexin remembered that Xiao Shujun said yesterday that all the kings of various countries came this time, so doesn't that mean that the king of Xiqi is coming here?

Qin Kexin's first thought was what to do with Concubine Xi, how she was going to face it, for fear of hurting Concubine Xi, so Qin Kexin decided to ask Concubine Xi in person.

So he took Yu'er and came to Xining Garden.

Concubine Xi can walk on her own without help, but she can't walk too much, and she doesn't walk very steadily.

"What? The king of Western Qi is coming to pay tribute? As Qin Kexin expected, as soon as Concubine Xi got the news, she reacted very surprised.

Qin Kexin nodded first, "I will come on the day of the tribute in two days." Then he asked, "What is my sister going to do?" ”

Concubine Xi was obviously a little panicked, bowed her head and pondered, Qin Kexin understood that Concubine Xi was unwilling to face people who had hurt her and her family.

After a while, Concubine Xi slowly raised her head, looked at Qin Kexin and said, "Sister, the concubine really doesn't want to face the King of Xiqi, I don't know if my sister can intercede with His Majesty, so she said that the concubine is ill and can't participate in the tribute meeting, so the concubine doesn't have to face the King of Xiqi." ”

Qin Kexin had no reason to refuse Concubine Xi, and she didn't want Concubine Xi to be hurt again, so she said: "Sister, don't worry, the attendance of the harem is under the control of the palace, as long as the palace mentions it to Your Majesty a little, Your Majesty will definitely not force you to participate." Qin Kexin knew that Xiao Shujun had never been very concerned about the affairs of the harem.

Concubine Xi heard Qin Kexin's promise like this, and she was relieved, "That concubine has thanked my sister." ”

Qin Kexin waved his hand, signaling that Concubine Xi didn't need to thank herself, "Sister, don't worry, this palace will definitely teach you a lesson from the King of Xiqi." ”

After Qin Kexin heard about the past of Concubine Xi, she always felt that this King of Xiqi was very annoying, and now that she has the opportunity to see it, she naturally wants to teach her a good lesson.

Qin Kexin thought that Xi Guifei thought the same way, and wished that someone would be angry for her, but she didn't expect Xi Guifei to grab Qin Kexin's hand and said eagerly: "Sister, absolutely not." ”

"Why? Doesn't my sister want to vent her evil anger on herself? Qin Kexin didn't know why Concubine Xi reacted, and she was very puzzled.

Concubine Xi hesitated for a moment and said: "The past has passed, and the concubine doesn't want to provoke the King of Xiqi again." ”

"Hey, okay, then it's up to you, this palace doesn't provoke him." Qin Kexin knew that Concubine Xi didn't want to have anything to do with the unbearable past.

"Thank you, sister," Concubine Xi let out a long sigh of relief.

Back at Soft Xiangyuan, Qin Kexin told Xiao Shujun that Concubine Xi didn't want to participate in the tribute meeting because her leg injury had not healed.

Of course, you can hide the original sound that Xi Guifei didn't go because she didn't want to see the King of Xiqi, because first, this matter had no impact on Xiao Shujun, and second, Qin Kexin didn't want Xiao Shujun to know about Xi Guifei's unbearable past.

Qin Kexin promised Concubine Xi to help her keep it secret.

Xiao Shujun was not very attentive to Concubine Xi, and as for the harem, these things were also handed over to Qin Kexin, knowing that Qin Kexin would handle it properly, so Xiao Shujun didn't ask, just said lightly, even if he agreed.

Two days later, the tribute was held as scheduled.

Xiao Shujun and Qin Kexin sat on top of the high hall, and the concubines sat beside them.

The kings of various countries entered the hall in turn to offer the treasures they wanted to pay tribute to, and then expressed their sincerity to follow Xiao Shujun, and then sat down on both sides of the hall in turn to prepare for the banquet to begin.

Qin Kexin was not interested in the treasures they were paying tribute to, but was attracted by the strange costumes they were wearing.

The costumes of some small countries were so strange that Qin Kexin laughed.

Xiao Shujun saw Qin Kexin's happy smile, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his queen was so cute......

But soon Qin Kexin couldn't laugh, the envoys of various countries were already almost seated, and the last king of Xiqi who came up finally stood in front of Qin Kexin.

After just one glance, Qin Kexin was disgusted by his fat, big-eared, greasy, and abnormal appearance and hypocritical flattery, thinking that he was indeed the one who could do what Concubine Xi said, Qin Kexin tried his best to suppress the urge to go up and kick him.

According to the envoy in front of him, the king of Xiqi paid tribute to the rare treasures and then made a heartfelt speech, but did not mean to go directly, but stood in the distance and looked around.

Xiao Shujun frowned lightly when he saw this, and asked in a cold tone; "Is there anything else going on with the King of Western Qi? If not, please take a seat. ”

When the king of Xiqi saw the emperor of the Central Plains asking himself, he spoke: "That, where is the Western concubine sent by our Xiqi?" Why can't I see her? ”

The king of Xiqi naturally cares about the Western Guifei, because only if the Western Guifei is favored, they will receive more rewards from the Central Plains and live a better life, but now they don't see the Western Guifei, and they are afraid that something will happen to her.

He is a careful and sensible person, and he can see it clearly.

Qin Kexin saw that this guy was embarrassed to ask Concubine Xi, didn't he feel guilty? It seems that there are really too many bad things, and I can't help it!

Qin Kexin thought to herself, if it weren't for Concubine Xi Guifei telling her in advance not to provoke this King of Western Qi, Qin Kexin would have scolded him speechless.

Xiao Shujun didn't care about anything when he heard this, and didn't want to have too much conversation with the King of Xiqi, so he replied directly: "Concubine Xi is unwell and didn't come to participate in today's tribute meeting. ”

"I see, what an offense!" After hearing that Concubine Xi was fine, the king of Xiqi was also relieved, and sat on one side like the other envoys.

The feast is officially begins.

In order to show the strength and customs of the Central Plains to various small countries, the banquet was extremely luxurious, from the ingredients to the return gifts, and the dances and soundtracks of the Central Plains were also fascinated by the envoys.

"This king has never seen such a grand pomp."

"Yes, yes, the number one country in the world is different."

"With the blessing of the Central Plains, we will definitely be safe, and we can be regarded as holding the right thighs this time." One by one, the envoys exchanged heads and talked about each other.

These words reached Xiao Shujun's ears, and Xiao Shujun was very happy, which proved that the Central Plains could really be the leader of all countries, which was what Xiao Shujun had always hoped for.

The feast lasted until the end of the evening, and the envoys were arranged to stay in the palace for one night and then set out for the next day.

Xiao Shujun was busy arranging the envoys.

Qin Kexin was very bored because she drank some wine, so she asked Yu'er to accompany her to the imperial garden to take a stroll and breathe.

Who would have thought that when he first arrived at the Imperial Garden, he saw that the King of Xiqi was flirting with a woman, and he was still a palace maid in the palace.

"The little lady is so handsome, do you want to follow this king? This king asks your majesty for orders and takes you back to be the princess! "The king of Xiqi obviously drank some wine, and he did something to the palace maid, which made it even more greasy!

The palace maid looks like a peugeot, even if the king of Xiqi is considered the monarch of a country, but his appearance is ugly, the palace maid will naturally not obey, but because of the identity of the other party, the palace maid does not dare to offend, so she can only let the king of Xiqi tease.

"Stop!" Qin Kexin scolded sharply, interrupting the King of Western Qi.

Originally, Qin Kexin wanted to listen to what Concubine Xi said and not provoke the king of Western Qi, but this king of Western Qi was so good that he dared to spread wild in the palace, Qin Kexin couldn't bear it, and with the strength of wine, he had forgotten Concubine Xi's entrustment.

The king of Xiqi was already doing a bad thing, and when he heard such a reprimand, he was frightened, and he just wanted to lose his temper and roar who disturbed his interest, but when he turned his eyes and saw the queen of the Central Plains, he immediately coaxed.

Hurriedly dragged his greasy body and walked towards Qin Kexin, "See the queen mother." ”

The palace maid who was molested by the king of Xiqi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was saved.

Qin Kexin waved his hand and motioned for the palace maid to leave for the time being.

Then he looked at the king of Xiqi who saluted him, his eyes were full of disgust, "Okay, you king of Xiqi, you dare to spread wild in this palace realm?" Qin Kexin immediately made a decision and gave the king of Xiqi a dismount.

The king of Xiqi must be calling for wind and rain in his own country, but when he arrives in the Central Plains, he will definitely not dare to make a mistake to the queen's mother, so he said respectfully: "I am confused for a while, and I am confused for a while, and the queen is not strange." ”

Qin Kexin knew that the king of Xiqi must be a dog who couldn't change his, and he was used to doing things to beauties in his realm, and it was useless to scold him now, after all, he would leave tomorrow, and if he returned to Xiqi like this, he couldn't care about it, so he wasn't prepared to make things difficult for him because of this.

What made Qin Kexin most unable to swallow this breath was that he threatened Concubine Xi's family, it was already like this, Qin Kexin was ready to stop doing it, and directly talked about it.

So he asked: "Are you Xiqi only a beauty?" Why can't you find someone who is willing to come to the Central Plains and send them to the Central Plains as a concubine? But the parents of the West Guifei made a threat and forced the West Guifei to come here? Qin Kexin asked the question in his heart, examined it happily, and then waited for how the King of Xiqi would respond.

However, the King of Xiqi did not beg for mercy like Qin Kexin thought, but said with a surprised face: "Threat? Forced? How do you say that? Coming to the Central Plains as a concubine is all voluntary. ”

"What? Voluntarily? Qin Kexin was obviously stunned by King Xiqi's response, which was completely the same as what Xi Guifei told herself, but it was only a few seconds of surprise, Qin Kexin immediately reacted, and said sharply: "You fart, you must have lied to avoid responsibility." ”

With Qin Kexin's trust in Xi Guifei, he naturally believed Xi Guifei's statement 100%, and King Xiqi's rhetoric naturally became quibbles and 'farts'.
