Volume 1 The Towering Great Next Chapter 98 Returning to a Dream Becomes a Winter Night Forever
More than half a month has passed since the day of the Fanghua banquet.
Except for the Xiongnu Zuoxian King who returned to the Xiongnu with his daughter on the third day after the banquet, the rest of the envoys did not say that they wanted to go back.
Recently, a very special piece of news in Shengjing City is that the prince of southern Xinjiang brought a handwritten letter from the king of Nan to ask His Majesty the emperor to marry the only prince of Prince Gong's mansion.
In fact, this matter was not a secret in the first place, especially in the imperial elite, this matter is basically an open secret, and it is not new.
Now that there is a handwritten letter from the king of Nan that the prince of Nan urgently asked for for 800 miles, it is just the icing on the cake of this in-law matter, and it is just a good name.
But in the private sector, it's completely different.
Now the people of southern Xinjiang are talking almost in front of the whole world, so in the time after tea and dinner in the market, the common people have also begun to happily start a series of small talks on this matter.
After all, the two parties to this marriage, one is a foreign prince, and the other is the daughter of a prince, such a noble background can naturally win a "favor" from the people in the market as a topic of discussion.
It's just that if you want to find out why it has not been more than three years since the battle to return to the south, there seems to be little reason for the people in the capital to be in the way of the people of southern Xinjiang.
This has to start from the fact that it is a long way to return to the south, but it is not only that the return to the south is thousands of miles away from Shengjing City, but also a large part of the reason is that the battle back to the south was too far away from Shengjing City.
At that time, although the South-West Coalition Army could be said to be coming very quickly, it caught the generals who were defending the border by surprise.
But because of the courage of Prince Jiuzhang and his generals, those southern barbarians were only worthy of breaking into the border cities in the south.
Later, Rong Shizi came to quell the rebellion with the silver armor horsemen, and Fang beat them out of the border city again.
In this way, if you talk about it seriously, except for the people of the south and the soldiers who were on the battlefield in the south back then, as well as those who saw with their own eyes the scene of corpses all over the field and bloodstained one side when they returned to the south city tower.
In fact, in the other states and counties within the territory of Dayi, there are not many ordinary people who have any hatred for those invaders from the south.
All ordinary people can do is to worry about the people of the border cities thousands of miles away when the alien invasion occurs.
After they really heard the news that the barbarians had been beaten away, they sighed at the bravery of the generals and the emperor Mingde.
At most, it was just when the news of Prince Jiuzhang's martyrdom spread to every inch of the empire, in exchange for a little reverence, a little regret, a little remembrance, and even a little sigh from the people.
There will be anger, but only temporarily.
After all, people in the world are especially forgetful, and the pain is not in their own bodies, and it is difficult to understand the pain of the soldiers and civilians who returned to Nancheng back then.
Therefore, now the two countries of Southern Xinjiang and the Western Regions are paying tribute to Beijing, in addition to providing many aspects of the storyteller's book for the teahouse and restaurant to talk about for everyone's pastime.
The common people in the capital did not have such a deep hatred and rejection for the envoys of the two countries.
After all, now that both the Southern Xinjiang and the Western Regions are subject to the Yi Kingdom, then the Southern Xinjiang and the Western Regions are the vassals of the Great Yi.
Although the folk trend in Beijing is like this, it is only that the people of southern Xinjiang, who are in one of the whirlpools of the topic of this incident, are divided in peace in the hotel, and rarely go to the museum, and walk around at will outside.
So everyone's focus was naturally on the other party to this matter, the vermilion gate of Prince Gong's Mansion.
It's just that Prince Gong's Mansion has been closed as usual from beginning to end, and nothing has changed, so no one knows what the situation is in the palace now.
Therefore, all the major high-gate mansions in Shengjing City were quite low-key for a while, and those young people who usually liked to move around were repeatedly told by the elders of the family that they could not hang out at will.
It's just that my daughter often stays in the backyard of the house, after all, she has been like this since she was a child, and she has long been used to such days.
It's just that this is a lot of suffering from the young sons and daughters of the Dayi aristocratic family, so that they don't go out of the door all day long, which is really uncomfortable.
But the elders of these big families are thinking very carefully, after all, there are still foreign envoys from several countries in the palace who have not left the capital.
Not only that, but they all have the same characteristics, that is, they all have the same status, they are all in the prime of their youth, and, most importantly, they are not married.
In particular, the customs of some small countries are not quite the same as those of the next country, even if it is a woman, she can be crowned a prince, and she can also ask for someone to ask His Majesty the emperor in the palace, and ask for someone to marry back to China......
So for a while, between the high families, especially the young people who are at the marriageable age, whether they are girls or sons, the elders in the family are very close, lest something go wrong if they are not careful.
I think that the kind of work at the Tuoba banquet should also be a source of inspiration in the painting books and scripts of the Great Yi Kingdom in recent times.
Therefore, among the families of the back houses in the capital, they gradually began to frequently tell the juniors below in private not to go out and run around if they have nothing to do, which is really understandable.
After all, who knows that by chance, their children will inexplicably and unconsciously fall into the eyes of a nobleman!
As everyone knows, that Lord Li of Prince Gong's Mansion is a lesson from the past! The words of the prince of southern Xinjiang when he asked His Majesty the Emperor to marry Lord Li in the palace just a few days ago were "love at first sight".
The various prefectures in Shengjing City are still like this, and they can barely maintain the apparent calm.
However, the harem of the Great Yi Dynasty is far from being so deliberately calm, and the Great Yi Harem at this time has long been in chaos behind the scenes in the favor of the emperor.
At the Fanghua banquet, Princess Mi of Loulan Kingdom was sealed as a jade concubine by the emperor on the spot, but she didn't know that she had only entered the palace for seven days, and the emperor not only favored her every day, but also issued a decree on the fourth day to seal her jade concubine.
It wasn't until the eighth day that the emperor rested in the Qianqing Palace for the time being because of his busy state affairs, but in the days that followed, he still went to the Penglai Palace of the Jade Concubine almost every day.
Or the Jade Concubine went to bed directly in Penglai Palace, or sat in Penglai Palace for a while, and then rushed back to the Qianqing Palace to deal with military affairs.
It turned out to be a cold look at His Majesty the Emperor, as if he was reluctant to part with the Jade Concubine for a moment.
And everyone in the next palace knows that the candidate for the emperor's favorite concubine in the Ruihe period seems to be about to change hands......
No, it's already changed hands.
After all, although Concubine Ning was also favored before, the emperor never seemed to be unwilling to leave her for a moment like now.
And no one can think about this matter more clearly and thoroughly than Concubine Ning herself.
Since the jade concubine was moved to a palace in the north palace by the emperor, and the emperor himself took the pen and gave the name "Penglai Palace", the sound of broken utensils in the Guanju Palace is almost every day.
Today, nature still does.
When Aunt Su, the aunt in charge of Guan Ju Palace, approached step by step from the outer hall to the inner hall, the sound of the broken lamp falling to the ground became clearer and sharper.
So she couldn't help her footsteps after all, and deliberately sped up a lot to enter the inner hall, and as far as she could see, the ground was full of messes.
It's just obvious, just look at the unchanged look on Aunt Su's face to know a little, and now this situation has happened a lot in recent times.
I only heard her whisper and scolded the maids around her, "What are you doing here one by one, don't you hurry up and clean up, carefully and accidentally hurt the mother, otherwise I will pick the skin off your body!" ”
She was brought into the palace by Concubine Ning from the Prime Minister's Mansion and was the first confidant of Concubine Ning.
And because she has no superfluous expressions on her face all the year round, her personality is indeed quite cold, and she is very decisive in speaking and acting, especially she is still an old-fashioned person who never thinks about the slightest human affection.
So over time, Aunt Su has always been a person with great authority in the Guanju Palace.
As soon as she said these words, the palace maids around her almost subconsciously felt that the skin on her body immediately tightened, and then they hurriedly started to clean up this mess.
"Deal with these sundries carefully, if there is any rumor leaking out of the Guanju Palace, even if it is half a foot away, you should know the consequences."
Some palace people have just been assigned by the Internal Affairs Office, and they look very young and young, which means that they have not experienced much yet, and they still need to beat one or two.
However, as everyone knows, many young palace people on this side, when they knelt on the ground to pick up the fragments at this moment, they were so frightened that their movements in their hands stopped slightly for a few moments, and after that, their hands began to tremble subconsciously.
When Aunt Su saw this, her eyes showed a little displeasure very obviously, but she didn't know why, until the little palace maids came out, she still didn't open her mouth to scare them anymore.
After all, they are still young, so they are easy to be easily used by others because they are not strong-willed, especially at this juncture.
If there were so many fragments in Guan Ju Palace that were disposed of in front of everyone's eyes, there would have always been many people in this palace, and Guan Ju Palace would immediately become a joke in the entire Six Palaces.
After all, where this fragment came from, everyone who has been in the harem for a long time naturally knows it in their hearts.
And Aunt Su can't allow this to happen, so she has to let these little palace maids understand the stakes of the matter.
