Chapter 31 Enter the Imperial Capital of Xuesen City
After a month and a half of throbbing, the large army of envoys from Yunmeng Kingdom to the imperial capital of Xuesen Kingdom entered the imperial capital under the welcome of the princesses, princes, and officials of the Xuesen royal family. Lu Xin said goodbye to them and went to his mansion, they were tired from the journey, and were invited by the Ministry of Rites to the ambassador's post house to rest, and tomorrow they went to the palace to meet the empress.
After Lingji finished bathing, she picked up the map of Xuesen City and studied it carefully, at this time Xiyu knocked on the door outside and said, "Lingji, have you slept, can I go in?" ”
Lingji put down the map and glanced at the maid Jinren, who opened the door and said, "I've seen the prince." ”
Xiyu nodded, walked in and said: "Now we have arrived in Xuesen City, tomorrow to meet the empress, just now Qishang said that they will also go together to offer gifts, according to the observation of these days, I found that Lu Xin Shizi is very concerned about Qishang, I persuaded her not to go, she just wants to go, I am afraid that there will be trouble, you go and persuade her." ”
Ling Ji smiled and said, "You know my relationship with her, and she can listen to me?" You can't even persuade me. ”
"There are some things that I can't say, but you are easy to say, I wanted to ask Xi Yan to say it, but thinking of Xi Yan's attitude towards her, I didn't go to him. Do you know that Qishang has suffered a lot along the way, can she be happy if she doesn't go to the palace when she arrives in the imperial capital? I kindly told her that Lu Xin's motives were not pure for her, but she accused me of being too careful, and I was afraid that she would get into trouble. ”
Ling Ji thought for a moment and said, "This was her little temper, and I couldn't persuade her, but I still went out of friendship." ”
Qishang sat on the table, drinking the grape juice in the cup sullenly, today Xiyu actually didn't let her go to the palace, she just wanted to go, she didn't believe that anything would happen if she went, she was wronged along the way, and Xi Yan also regarded her as air! Why didn't she go so far that she couldn't even go to the palace, then she didn't come for nothing!
Jin Ren knocked on the door outside and said, "The princess has come to visit the beauties, please open the door." ”
Qishang smiled coldly and said, "This play is really good!" I don't relax for a moment and call me a beauty, this is here to answer me, what a rare guest! Lu Fang went to open the door and invited our noble princess to come in. "Along the way, both of them are well water and do not interfere with river water, what is the matter today, so kind to visit her, there must be nothing good.
Lingji walked in and sat down at the table, watching her ignore herself and not getting angry, she said straightforwardly: "I heard that you insist on going to the palace tomorrow, I advise you not to go." ”
Qishang took another sip of grape juice, looked at her arrogantly, and said mockingly: "Xiyu went to tell you, sure enough, it was the husband and the wife, and the two of them were angry in one nostril before they got married, so it's too early!" I can't let you take care of my business. ”
Ling Ji didn't take her seriously, she still said calmly: "You think I want to care, it's just that Lu Xin's attention to you is not normal, and her mother is the empress's most favored daughter, you have to pay attention." ”
"I advise you to be nosy, I'll go if I want to, you can't care, even Uncle Squid didn't say not to let me go, what are you?" Qishang looked at her with a sneer.
"I don't want to mind your business, you didn't find that Lu Xin's attention to you is a little strange, you can do it yourself, I'll leave after that." Lingji was not angry, and stood up and said after saying this.
Qishang put down the wine cup and said unhappily: "I don't find out what, I make my own decisions, I want you to do a lot of things, I think you are too comfortable!" Take care of my business. ”
After Lingji walked away, she stood up and walked to the window to look at the starlight outside the window, she knew that Lu Xin was a little strange, but it was nothing, what else could he do!
The night was charming, and the princess's mansion was brightly lit at this time, and Lu Xin sat in the hall chatting with her mother, Princess Yabu, about the situation on his way back.
Princess Yabu has a graceful and luxurious temperament, her round and jade figure is covered with a red cicada wing veil, and she wears a white light moire thousand-tail skirt as the bottom, she holds the jade bone fan in her hand and habitually taps the white jade tabletop, and asks: "Xin'er, this trip can explore the strength of the princes and princesses of Yunmeng Kingdom, I just think that if you young people are in one place, you can see more of each other's advantages."
"Mother, they are all very good, the Jade Prince is gentle and elegant, Princess Lingji is cold and wise, and there is a left overseer who is the most powerful, and his personality seems to be bohemian, but in fact, his mind is very powerful!" Lu Xin replied.
Yabu smiled and asked curiously, "Why didn't my son evaluate that county lord?" What is her personality. ”
Lu Xin replied: "Mother, she is a spoiled woman, she seems to be wronged and begged to come to my Xuesen country, but in fact, she is very arrogant and conceited in her bones, as for her fame, I really don't know!"
"Oh, yes, her background is still the best one anyway." Yabu stepped down from his seat, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You can hurry up and create some opportunities."
"Okay, I got it." Lu Xin nodded.
Early the next morning, Xiyu Lingji and others went to meet Her Majesty the Empress, Qishang also followed the beauties to pay tribute, Lingji looked at the magnificence of the palace decoration, and they Yunmengguo is not the same, Yunmengguo is mainly simple and atmospheric, Xuesen is mainly magnificent, in the morning sun reflects the red walls and yellow tiles of this palace, golden and brilliant, the palace golden dome, red door everywhere shows the luxury of this royal city.
The yellow pillars that enter the inner hall are carved with lifelike snowflakes and red plums...... Everywhere is extremely luxurious, the empress on the throne of gold lacquer carved snowflakes and red plums is dressed in a yellow robe, her figure is slightly emaciated, she looks a little older than the truth, and there are a few strands of white hair in her hair, but as the empress, her aura is naturally awe-inspiring and dignified! She stared at them with a smile on her face, and when they entered the hall, there was a middle-aged beautiful woman standing next to her, who looked at them all curiously......
Ling Ji and the others saluted and kowtowed: "I have seen Her Majesty the Empress, long live the Empress."
The empress looked at this son of the world and looked handsome and elegant, and the white jade crown was luxurious and unassuming. The princess's posture is captivating the country and the city, her eyebrows are far away, and her phoenix eyes are as bright as the stars in the sky!
The young man in silver armor in the back guessed that it was the Left Overseer, this Overseer's slender peach blossom eyes, and the thick and moderate lips under the tall nose were really handsome and abnormal! The appearance of these people is really good, and I can't find a few in the Snow Forest Country......
She stood up and walked down the golden steps, helped them for a moment, and said with a smile on her face: "Hard work, Yu Shizi, Princess Lingji, and all the adults, you are tired from coming from afar, and you will be given a seat quickly." ”
Yu Shizi and the others said in unison: "It's not hard, it's our honor to come here on Your Majesty's birthday, and you have Your Majesty's careful arrangement and care along the way, and you don't feel hard at all." ”
The empress smiled and looked at everyone: "Jade Shizi, the princess and all the adults have traveled so far for my birthday, which proves the friendship of Yunmeng Kingdom to Gu and Xuesen Kingdom!" ”
The middle-aged beautiful woman also walked down and said with a smile: "What the mother emperor said is very true, it is said that this Yunmeng country is really a good place, look at this life, how good the princesses look one by one, you can't find a few in the entire Xuesen country." ”
Xiyu and Lingji secretly guessed which one of the beautiful women who called the empress the mother emperor, a princess or a princess? Seeing that she was in her thirties and looked graceful and luxurious, wearing a light purple gold thread color thousand fan tail skirts, and her deep eyes under her slender eyebrows were as deep as well water, she smiled at them slightly.
Xiyu replied politely: "Thanks to your praise, Xuesen Country is also a treasure land of feng shui for outstanding people. ”
The middle-aged beautiful woman walked up to the empress and said, "Mother Emperor, you see that I am confused, and I have never remembered to tell these juniors who I am." ”
The empress smiled, looked at Xiyuren and said, "Shizi, princess, this is the daughter of Lone, Princess Yabu." ”
Only then did everyone know that this was the Empress of Xuesen's favorite daughter, Yabu, and they saluted: "It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the princess is fine." ”
Yabu nodded and approached Lingji's hand, looked at Xiyu and her, and said: "It stands to reason that I am the princess of Yipin, and you are also the prince and princess of Yipin, so I can't stand such a great gift from you, but I am older than you, and my son Lu Xin is a few years younger than the prince and a friend, I have received this gift today, and my son also told me yesterday how valuable the character of the prince and the princess is, and I have seen it today." “
Xiyu replied with a smile: "You are an elder, so naturally you can stand it!" Lu Xin Shizi is also extremely good, and he is a close friend worth making. ”
After taking a seat, a group of beauties came with a gift from Yunmengguo, and Xiyu said: "Your Majesty the Empress, this is Yunmengguo's birthday gift to congratulate you, I will send it over in advance today, I wish you a long life and prosperity for the country." ”
"This first piece is the snow mountain jade Ruyi of Yunmeng Country, which is made of the only piece of snow pattern jade on the top of the snow mountain in my country, and it is the only one in the world! This jade is cold to the bones and is a rare treasure. ”
"This second piece is the thousand-year-old jade sandalwood bed of Yunmengguo, which is personally built by the mother of my Yunmengguo for His Majesty, this jade sandalwood bed has the great effect of helping sleep, and it is attached to wish Her Majesty the Empress a holy body and health!"
This third piece ..................
Seeing that Yunmengguo had prepared such a heavy gift, it seemed that she attached great importance to the diplomatic relations of Xuesen Kingdom, she stood up and said: "The lord of Yunmengguo has come with such a heavy gift, which is really the importance of my Empress of Xuesen Kingdom, and also the importance of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the friendship between the two countries will definitely get better and better in the future." ”
Xiyu said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, and my Majesty of Yunmeng Country also has the same mind, and I also believe that the diplomatic relations between the two countries will be better." ”
Yabu smiled and said: "Mother Emperor, as far as I can see, since these two countries have such deep diplomatic relations, I suggest that the relationship between the two countries should be close and close, and it would be best if they could become in-laws." In the past few days, my son has been mentioning how gentle the women and how good the men are in this Yunmeng country, and if they get married, it will be a great thing for the two countries. ”
She had proposed to her mother yesterday the idea of marriage between the two countries, she was the empress's favorite princess in the snow forest country, and she was extremely in the eyes of the empress! Naturally, she got her hands in favor.
Don't look at the empress who has just entered the age of fifty, but her health has not been good, it has become more and more serious in recent years, all the big and small things in this country rely on Yabu to secretly help her to make decisions, although this Yabu is scheming, but he is still filial piety, and he is the most suitable candidate for the next emperor in the eyes of the empress.
The empress deeply agreed with this daughter's words, and in her eyes, no matter what her daughter did, she was deliberate and never messed around, except for the absurd thing with the southern king of Yunmeng Kingdom when she was young.
The empress smiled and said, "Saying this in front of these children, the children will be shy, but what you say makes sense." These children are all so good, I don't know if our princesses and sons can have the honor of marrying this good marriage. ”
Xiyu listened to the words of the empress and Princess Yabu secretly and quickly sorted out the words of the empress and princess Yabu, and roughly liquidated how many adult princesses, princes, and county lords of the Yunmeng royal family were there......
