Seeing this, Dugu Yanxiang had to say: "The queen mother is in good health, and she looks much younger than her peers." The Queen Mother smiled and motioned to Mama Xu beside her to take the incense, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the mourning family will accept it." The King of the North has a heart. ”

Shangguan Beitang immediately said: "I wish the Queen Mother good health and tranquility, and her eternal age." Everyone also knelt down in unison: "I wish the Queen Mother good health and tranquility, and her eternal age." ”

Dugu Yanxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there was no danger. However, it is good that Beitang gave the fragrance to the Queen Mother, which can be regarded as a reminder to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother is so smart, she will definitely know that something is wrong today. She must have wondered why she had given this fragrance to Kitado. It's okay to let her check the identity of the Beixuan King herself, so as not to catch her off guard when she gets it.

It's just that at this moment, he didn't think that his mother, who worked hard to pull himself up and relied on him for everything, was the biggest obstacle between him and Shangguan Beitang.

Shangguan Beitang returned to the palace, and heard the sound of flutes coming from the pavilion in the courtyard, and he stepped forward to see Mu Nanfeng sitting in the pavilion, and there was a burden on the stone table next to him.

When Mu Nanfeng saw him coming, he put Xiao down and said, "You are here, Lord Wang." Shangguan Beitang looked at the burden on the table and said thoughtfully, "Sir, this is?" ”

"The villain thanks to the prince for saving him today, the villain was originally a person in the rivers and lakes, in the palace these days thanks to the prince's kindness, the villain has decided to continue to wander the rivers and lakes, and is here to wait for the prince and resign to you." Mu Nanfeng said.

"Sir, is it because of today?" Shangguan Beitang asked. "Even if there is no matter today, I will resign to the prince." Mu Nanfeng said again.

"It's okay, since Mr. is going to leave, the king will not stay, please take care of Mr. Today's events also have the responsibility of Xiao Wang, and I blame this king for not thinking carefully, Mr. was chased and killed should not tell his real name to others, speaking of which Mr. all happened because of saving me, I am ashamed of Mr. Please also accept my bows, sir. Saying that, Shangguan Beitang bowed.

"Why does the prince need to make such a big gift," Mu Nanfeng hurriedly supported him, and then said: "The prince regards me as a close friend, and it is wrong for me to hide something." If the prince doesn't give up, you and I won't mention the past in the future, how about still being friends? ”

"Okay, since Mr. Mu is so hearty and doesn't remember Xiao Wang's mistakes, Xiao Wang is naturally willing, you and I will still be commensurate with brothers in the future, everything in the past is cloudy, Brother Mu, please accept the worship of the little brother." Shangguan Beitang bowed and bowed.

"Brother Beitang." Mu Nanfeng said a little bitterly, and then handed Xiao to Shangguan Beitang: "This Xiao will be left to the virtuous brother, if it is useful in the future, with Xiao as proof, Nanfeng will definitely die." ”

"Brother Mu can't, this Xiao is Brother Mu's beloved thing, how can Xiao Wang win people's love?" Shangguan Beitang excused himself. Mu Nanfeng said with a smile: "This Xiao is a pair, as long as this Xiao is blown, the other branch within a thousand miles will also have induction." For my brother to have no long things, please don't dislike my brother. ”

"This, then thank you Brother Mu for the gift, why is Brother Mu in such a hurry, it's not too late to leave tomorrow." Shangguan Beitang said again. "No, my brother has made an appointment with my friends in Jingzhou to meet at the Yellow Crane Tower on the tenth day of October, so it's better to hurry early."

"Brother Mu is really free and easy, and this king will one day wander the rivers and lakes like his brother, happy and revenge. Ha ha. Shangguan Beitang smiled heartily. Mu Nanfeng also smiled heroically: "Okay, don't forget to call Brother Wei then, you and I will go together." "Definitely, definitely."

I won't talk about it later.

In the golden autumn of October, the autumn wind is sorrowful. For Shangguan Beitang, it was a time when the peach blossoms were flourishing. On the eighth day of October, Shangguan Beitang received a holy decree that Nanxiangguo was going to send a princess and relatives. During the time when the princess arrived in Beijing, all matters were managed by Shangguan Beitang.

It means that after the princess comes, she will go to Shangguan Beitang to eat, drink and have fun. It's not that Dugu Yanxiang is willing to hand over this errand to him, but because it's nearly a year old, other officials have something to do.

Early in the morning, Shangguan Beitang went out of the city to greet the princess, and when he left the city gate, he saw a team of people walking in the direction of Kyoto from a distance. When the team was close, Shangguan Beitang stepped forward to greet the general who was escorting the princess.

"It's the Nanxiang Mission?" Shangguan Beitang asked. "Exactly." Someone answered.

"I am the king of the north of Jiang Kingdom, and I am here to welcome the princess."

"The last general, Liao Xingrong, the loyal and brave general of Nanxiang, visited the king of Beixuan." The middle-aged man with a beard arched his hand and said.

"General Liao doesn't have to be polite, the princess is in the back car, this king will go over and say goodbye!" Shangguan Beitang said as he walked to the carriage behind.

"Lord Wang." Liao Xingrong hurriedly shouted. Shangguan Beitang turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Princess," Liao Xingrong said with a nervous expression, "Princess, she has just arrived in Jiang Kingdom, and she is a little unwell. It is not suitable to see people, and I ask the prince to forgive me. ”

"Oh, then, the king should be greeting." Saying that, Shangguan Beitang had already walked to the carriage and said, "In the lower Jiang Kingdom, the king of Beixuan will meet Her Royal Highness Princess Nanxiang, the princess Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”

For a long time, there was no sound in the car. Shangguan Beitang was puzzled for a while, thinking that the princess hadn't heard it, so he said again: "King Jiang Beixuan visits Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

There was still no sound in the carriage, but a hand came out of the window, waved a handkerchief, and then retracted into the carriage. Shangguan Beitang was even more puzzled. Puzzled, he looked at Liao Xingrong.

Liao Xingrong stepped forward and said a little hesitantly: "Lord, according to the rules of our Nanxiang Kingdom, when a woman reaches the age when she should get married, she can only talk to a man when she meets the person she likes. ”

Although Shangguan Beitang felt incredible, he was also very calm in front of foreign missions, and said generously: "It's okay, since the princess is inconvenient to speak, then the king will not be reluctant." Let's get to Beijing as soon as possible. ”

He didn't say anything more, walked towards his mount and jumped on the horse, and then looked at the carriage behind him with a little doubt, and thought: What kind of rules is this in Nanxiangguo, a woman can't speak when she reaches the age of marriage, so what if a woman doesn't meet the person she likes? For the rest of his life, he must be a dumb person and suffocate to death.

If you meet someone you don't like and accidentally speak, won't you lose the rest of your life.

It's really weird, it's weird!!

After entering the city, I walked for about half an hour and arrived at Honglu Temple, where the envoys of Nanxiang were entertained. After the repair, I will meet the Holy One tomorrow.

Shangguan Beitang saw that it was getting late, and everything was basically arranged, so he went home. He came out of Honglu Temple and rode up to West Street.

Walking all the way, I arrived at the mutual market, but I encountered several traders from the Western Regions who were selling slaves. Shangguan Beitang glanced at the slaves, and suddenly, he saw a pair of clear and clever eyes.

Although her whole body was dirty, she still couldn't hide the clever aura on her body.

Unconsciously Shangguan Beitang reined in the horse, he turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to take a look, but saw that those eyes were also looking at him, blinking and blinking.

At this time, a merchant from the Western Regions came over and asked, "Childe, do you want to buy slaves?" "No, I'm just looking." Shangguan Beitang said with some disgust. He has always been disapproving of this method of human trafficking. With that, he continued on his way.

At this time, a merchant whipped the slave, and the slave did not squeak, gritting his teeth and silently enduring the whip on his body. Shangguan Beitang couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw this scene.

He snapped up and asked, "Why are you beating people?" "It's her fault that she wasn't taken by Childe, you don't think so." The beating vendor said.

Shangguan Beitang was very angry, stepped forward and took his leather whip, and asked, "How much is she, I bought it." ”

The vendor immediately changed his expression and said with a smile: "Ten taels of silver." ”

"Give." Shangguan Beitang handed a bag of silver to the vendor. "Okay, thank you, Childe." The merchant said as he squatted down to untie the slave's rope, then pointed to Shangguan Beitang and said, "In the future, this son will be your master." ”

Shangguan Beitang looked at the girl and said, "Don't be afraid, you can go with me!" The girl winked and nodded with her beautiful eyes.

Shangguan Beitang took her all the way through the West Street, and when he couldn't see the group of Western Regions vendors, he said, "Okay, girl, let's go." "You're going to let me go?" The slave said in a heavy accent.

"Yes, otherwise what are you going to do with me?" Shangguan Beitang said. The girl looked at him incredulously and said, "But I am your slave!" ”

"From now on you are no longer a slave, you are your own master." Shangguan Beitang looked at her and said, then jumped on his horse and rode away.

When he got off the horse at the gate of the palace, he saw that the girl was still following behind. "Hey, why did you come along?" Shangguan Beitang asked suspiciously.

"I came here by the trail." The girl said. "Do you know who I am?" Shangguan Beitang asked. "Just knew." The girl nodded and shook her head.

"And how do you copy the path?" Shangguan Beitang felt very strange.

"The pattern of the clothes you wear is simple, but the texture is very expensive. There is also a jade pendant tied around your waist, which you know is a rare object at a glance. So I found a rich man on the street and drew him a jade pendant to inquire, and learned that you are the king of Beixuan. The girl said.

"Oh, such a wise woman, how can a woman like you be sold and end up as a slave." Shangguan Beitang said admiringly. But the girl bowed her head and did not speak.

Seeing this, Shangguan Beitang was inconvenient to ask again, so he said, "Well, since you have nowhere to go, let's go to my palace first." So saying, he took the slave and entered the door.

"Uncle Qin, pack out a room for this girl to live in," Shangguan Beitang instructed, "Yuzhu, you go and take this girl to take a bath and change into clean clothes." ”

Qin Bo and Yuzhu took the order. Yuzhu asked the slave to boil some water, then brought a set of his own clothes and said, "Girl, when you have washed it, you can wear this garment!" ”

The girl looked at the clothes, touched the fabric, and said, "Although this material is good, it is the maid's clothes, and I don't wear it." ”

"You are a slave, you are so bold, this is Sister Yuzhu's clothes, others can't wear them if they want to, you dare to pick and choose." A little girl pouring water on the side said.

Yuzhu hurriedly stopped her, didn't tell her to say more, and said to the girl: "Girl, we don't have the clothes of the master in the palace, or you can make do with it." ”

"I don't wear it, if I don't have it, ask your prince to buy it." The girl said a little willfully.
