After watching a scene, Duan Yi had no intention of staying, and finally said directly and left with Zhongqing, the attitude of leaving was resolute and resolute, without looking back.

When Zhongqing left, she still agreed to the princess's invitation, after all, she is a princess, her status is noble, she can bend down and invite her a "flat-headed people" is already very surprising, if you don't agree again, wouldn't it seem that you have no vision?

"Lord Wang, just now in the Cloud Shadow Building, Princess Hanyue was so enthusiastic about you, why didn't you react at all?" Zhong Qing asked Duan Yi in the carriage, he seemed to be so indifferent to everyone.

Duan Yi leaned his head on the carriage: "Enthusiasm? Indeed, but the king does not like it. After saying that, he squinted his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Zhongqing secretly gave him a big roll of his eyes, too lazy to continue the topic, and the two went home without saying a word.

————

In the blink of an eye, another few days have passed, and the people of Beishuo are about to enter the territory of Great Chu today.

On this day, the hustle and bustle of the capital was even more lively than the last time Duan Yi entered Beijing, because the people of Dachu were very curious about the so-called prince of Beishuo, and they had never seen people from that remote country.

With curiosity, the people who love to eat melons will be surrounded by water, and they all want to see the prince of Beishuo.

It was better after the Emperor of Chu specially ordered the evacuation of the troops, and as last time, the reception of foreign envoys was generally entrusted to the crown prince.

In the eyes of the people of Great Chu, the people of Beishuo are actually like the kind of barbarians who have not been fully developed, and I heard that the people there are very barbaric, and they are extremely rude in their actions and words, and this kind of behavior is very incompatible with the eyes of the Great Chu people who have always known the law and kept etiquette.

Prince Chu Ying rode on his BMW and looked at the hour, it was almost time to arrive.

After waiting for a long time, a group of people slowly drove at the gate of the city, all of them were dressed in clothes made of wolf skin, and their bodies were burly and tall, with fierce faces.

The leader is a beast riding a leopard wolf, and the clothes he wears are made of tiger skin, which is different at first glance, and that person must be the eldest prince of Beishuo - Tu Lie!

"Haha, Prince Da Chu, don't come unharmed!" Tu Lie's deep voice greeted Chu Ying.

Chu Ying dismounted and greeted Tulie with Beishuo's greeting gift, "Prince Tulie, long time no see!" ”

The conversation between the two seems to have known each other for a long time.

The two sides cordially exchanged fists, everyone in Beishuo went straight to the imperial city after entering Beijing, the mighty team made the people daunting, and the barbarians in Beishuo seemed to have an inexplicable chilling aura that made people look at it, and those who had never seen anything in the world were afraid of it just by looking at it.

A banquet had already been set up in the palace, and Duan Yi and Zhongqing were also invited, and they had already been sitting in the queen waiting for the arrival of the Beishuo people.

In addition to the ministers above the third rank, there were also the queen and the four concubines of the harem, followed by several princesses and princes.

Emperor Chu seemed to know the intentions of the people from Beishuo, and he specially arranged for his daughters to sit in seemingly inconspicuous places, but in fact, they were places that people could pay attention to at a glance.

Only Hanyue didn't come to this banquet, even if Duan Yi was present, she couldn't help but not come, thinking that she also knew a little bit of rumors, so she deliberately couldn't come out.

Zhong Qing was sitting next to Duan Yi, and in and out of Duan Yi in the past few days, there were many people around her who already knew her, so it was not surprising.

This time, the welcome banquet was placed near the Imperial Garden, and the surrounding flowers were blooming, which could also make people enjoy the flowers and drink tea, which was not so boring.

Zhong Qing's eyes turned casually, and soon found a few familiar people, she saw the two young ladies who competed last time, Xu Shishi and Huang Xuan!

The fathers of the two of them are all third-grade officials, and it is not surprising to see the two of them here, but these two people don't seem to be very friendly, and they are-for-tat when they meet.

At this moment, the two seemed to be arguing over a trivial matter, and Zhong Qing shook his head with amusement in his heart, these two young ladies are really energetic, and they quarrel casually without looking at the occasion.

Retracted his gaze and stopped looking at the two of them, and looked at them casually, most of these occasions are excellent social occasions, Emperor Chu has not yet arrived, and the banquet has not yet opened, so there is no need to be too restrained.

"Lord, I'll go to the thatched house." It may be that she drank too much tea, and Zhongqing felt that her stomach was a little swollen, and she didn't care if Duan Yihui didn't answer, she got up and left.

The palace is too big, and she doesn't know where there is a thatched house, so she asked all the way, and finally found a "Gong Fang".

"Ah, Shuchang!"

After letting go of the water, I felt much more comfortable, and I walked all the way back with the memory of when I came, but the road to the palace is generally full of twists and turns, and Rao is Zhongqing has a good memory and is lost.

"Father-in-law Shun, can you help me do something?"

Suddenly, Zhong Qing, who was looking for the way back, heard a familiar voice from behind the rockery not far away!

Someone?!

Zhong Qing stopped, only to feel that this voice was a little familiar, she looked at the opposite side of the rockery, only saw a familiar back, and quietly walked in to take a look, it turned out to be Zhong Luoluo!

Strange, why is she here?

Zhong Qing thought strangely, she dared to get closer again, and hid behind the crack in the stone, at first glance, there was a person standing in front of Zhong Luoluo, who looked a little familiar, and she didn't remember who it was for a while.

The eunuch who was called Shun Gonggong did not answer, and he kept his head down, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhong Luoluo frowned, and said again with a slight threat: "Father-in-law Shun, who you are, shouldn't you remember yourself?" ”

Hearing this, Shun's father-in-law was like a great enemy, he raised a nervous and slightly pale face, and shook his head vigorously: "The slave has not forgotten, the slave swears to death is the minister of the country!" ”

Seeing his reaction, Zhong Luoluo hooked his lips: "Very good, then wait until it gets dark, please trouble Father-in-law Shun to bring people here, if it is done, the Prime Minister's Mansion will not lose your benefits." ”

As she spoke, she handed Father-in-law Shun a small packet of things, I don't know what it contained, Father-in-law Shun held it in his hand as if he had taken a piece of hot potato, and his whole arm trembled slightly.

After finally Luo Luo handed over the things to him, he left without looking back, and Father-in-law Shun waited until she left before putting the things in his arms, and looked around weakly, making sure that no one dared to leave.

Zhong Qing, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at the direction of the two of them with interesting eyes, judging from the conversation between the two just now, it seems that Zhong Luoluo is plotting something, and this matter must be related to the plan behind the Prime Minister's Mansion!

She didn't expect to hear a secret just by going up to a thatched house, I don't know if it was a coincidence, or a coincidence, or a coincidence.

But now that she knows about it, and this matter has something to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, she definitely can't let them get their wish!

After making up his mind, Zhong Qing found a few more people to ask for directions, and pretended to be normal and sat next to Duan Yi again.

"Why did you go for so long and get lost?" Duan Yi frowned and asked.

"Poof!" Zhongqing squirted out a mouthful of tea and gave him a roll of his eyes: "Lord Wang, don't be so straightforward, this palace is so big, it's not strange to get lost!" "And even if she gets lost, don't poke her directly like this, she also wants to save face!

Duan Yi chuckled, took out a black handkerchief embroidered with gold trim from his arms, handed it to her, and asked her to wipe her mouth.

"Thank you!" Zhongqing took it and said thank you uncomfortably.

"Oh, by the way, my lord, what do you guess I heard on the way back?" Zhongqing couldn't wait to tell Duan Yi about the secret he had just heard, and couldn't help but mention it to Duan Yi.

Duan Yi raised his eyebrows to look at her, and then said without thinking, "Did you see Zhong Luoluo?" ”

"Poof!" Zhongqing sprayed water for the second time, well, she didn't actually drink water, she just looked at the man in front of her in surprise, how could he know everything?

Knowing that she was strange in her heart, Duan Yi's eyes pointed in the direction of the back of her head, "Not long after you came back, Zhong Luoluo appeared. ”

Zhong Luo Luo was originally not in the Imperial Garden, not long after she appeared, Zhong Qing came back, and asked him with an expression of discovering a major secret, so he guessed that this matter had a light with Zhong Luo Luo.

Zhong Qing looked back at Zhong Luoluo, who was chatting with others normally, and gave Duan Yi a thumbs up: "Lord Wang, you are really a god, then do you know what I just heard?" ”

In order not to spoil the atmosphere created by the woman, Duan Yi reluctantly shook his head, signaling that he didn't know.

"I just saw Zhong Luoluo and a eunuch on the way back......," Zhong Qing told Duan Yi word for word about the conversation he had just heard.

Duan Yi only frowned slightly after hearing this, and there didn't seem to be any surprise.

"By the way, Lord Wang, do you know who Father-in-law Shun is?" She always felt that Father-in-law Shun was a little familiar, but she just couldn't remember it, so she asked Duan Yi again, maybe he knew.

Duan Yi nodded: "That father-in-law Shun is the personal eunuch next to Emperor Chu, and he was the one who showed us the way last time." ”

Zhongqing suddenly realized, and after listening to Duan Yi's words, he remembered who the father-in-law of Shun was, and it turned out to be the person close to the emperor!

"In that case, the person who finally Luo Luo asked Father-in-law Shun to bring over tonight is the emperor's ......?"

She didn't say the last word, because she could already see the bright yellow figure not far away walking towards them!

"Your Majesty, the queen has arrived!" The familiar and sharp voice shouted, that person was Father-in-law Shun, the emperor's personal eunuch.

Emperor Chu sat in his place with the queen and four concubines, and he waved his hand and directly exempted him.

"Xiao Shunzi, how long will it take for Prince Beishuo to arrive?" Emperor Chu turned his head sideways and asked Father-in-law Shun.

Father-in-law Shun bowed his waist and replied: "Go back to the emperor, I heard from the people below that they have reported that this meeting has arrived at the gate of the palace, and I think it will be there soon." ”

Emperor Chu nodded, the hour was almost up, and after inviting everyone to take their seats, he instructed the palace maids to put tea and snacks on the table again, waiting for the arrival of Prince Beishuo.

It didn't take long for another sharp voice to shout again: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Prince Beishuo has arrived!" ”

As the voice fell, he soon saw outside the Imperial Garden that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming with Prince Tulie of Beishuo and one or two envoys behind him.

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"Northern Shuo Tulie greets the Holy One!"

The two of them spoke in unison, but the prince performed the regular rites of Dachu, and the sudden rites performed by them to meet the Holy King in Beishuo.

The cultures of the two countries are different, and Emperor Chu is not a person who cares about that little thing, he smiled and waved his hand, quickly let them get up, and gave them a seat.
