In the blink of an eye, winter has passed, and before the New Year, the Wa Kingdom sent envoys to send generous gifts.

Emperor Yitoku presented rosewood screen ornaments carved with rose-pink cherry blossoms in gold lacquer, dozens of ceramic dishes and vases depicting Kabuki, and thirteen Kabuki.

This Wa kingdom almost never interacted with the Southern Dynasties, and now it is very obvious that such a friendship and goodwill have been made.

Chen Xian ordered a small banquet to be held in the court, and the envoys were entertained with wine and dance.

"Emperor Nanchen is blessed with longevity and health, I have been ordered by the emperor to come to visit you, please be friendly with my country!" The envoy of the Wa Kingdom said.

"I, the Chen country, am a big country, I have never quarreled with the world, and I am separated from the sea by the Japanese country, and there is no entanglement. Zhu Yushi asked.

"This is natural, our country, our emperor knows that the state of Chen is very powerful, so he is willing to take the initiative to make friends with you, and hope that the two countries will become brothers from now on, in your words, 'share blessings and hardships!'!" The messenger gushed.

"You really dare to say that! Share the blessings and share the difficulties? Who are you with? That's a nice thing to say, I'm afraid I'm not here to take advantage!" Mrs. Lu said disdainfully.

The envoy shook his head and said, "His Majesty the Emperor is definitely a sincere friend!"

Thirteen Kabuki then entered the performance of the Ukuni dance, and the kabuki danced with ** painted on their faces, dressed in some bloated brocade costumes, holding sound hammers in their hands, and some holding fake flower branches in the style of plum blossoms and lotus flowers, dancing in small steps, chanting words in their mouths, and speaking their own Chinese, which was incomprehensible.

"It's a strange dance, and so are their costumes. Envoy, this is the court dance of your Wa Kingdom?!" Chen Xian asked the envoy.

The envoy stood up and said: "What the emperor said is that they can dance a lot of our country's dances, whether it is court or folk dances, they are all very good, they can speak some simple Chinese, and the emperor will be very happy to keep them by his side!"

"It's okay, I can learn about your culture and customs, but the widow is not interested in these, and the county lord should be more interested!"

"What the emperor said, but that amazing Xiao Mingyue-Xiao County Lord?!" The envoy couldn't help but ask.

"Bold! Dare to call the county lord by his name!" Lu Taifu reprimanded.

The envoy seemed to realize the inappropriateness of his words and deeds, and immediately bowed to the emperor.

"That's it, it's a guest from afar, and you don't understand my Chinese etiquette. However, the Wa Kingdom is separated from my China Sea, and I can't imagine or know about the Lord of Mingyue!" Chen Xian said to the envoy.

The envoy nodded again and again, and said: "That's natural, although my country is not big, but it is not like 'behind closed doors', the county lord Bing Xue is smart and protects the people of the world, and the good story has long been spread to my country!" If possible, I'd love to meet this amazing county lord!"

"It depends on your luck, it depends on whether the county lord is willing to see you!" Chun An said.

Immediately, Chun'an sent the little eunuch palace people to Mingyue Tower to talk back to Xiao Mingyue.

Xiao Mingyue heard that the envoys of the Wa Kingdom wanted to see her, and she was very curious about them, but she was a little worried about them, and she always felt that the envoys seemed to have other purposes.

"What do the people of the Wa Kingdom look like?" Amber asked the little eunuch who passed the message.

The little eunuch then said, "They are strangely dressed, their clothes are wide and wide, their hair is strange, their bodies are skinny, and they have shaved their hair on the top of their heads......"

"Let's go and see! Let's go!" Xiao Mingyue said to Amber and Cai Wei.

A few people went to the palace where the banquet was held, and met the envoys from the Wa Kingdom, who were really like the little eunuchs described.

Amber and Cai Wei wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh, so they had to endure it.

Xiao Mingyue saluted the envoy.

The envoy looked at Xiao Mingyue in a daze, and it took a long time before he spoke.

"How? This is the county lord of my Chen country!" Chen Xian said.

"The beauty and nobility of the county lord are amazing and obsessed, it is really indescribable in words, if the county lord allows, I hope to be able to draw the appearance of the county lord, bring it back to my country, and let the emperor see it! His Majesty will definitely be amazed by the beauty of the county lord!" The envoy said.

"Then there is no need, although the county lord is beautiful, he doesn't like to be painted, and he is not yet married, how can he give others a portrait with his own face? You should be glad you had the privilege of meeting the county lord today!" Chen Xian said busily.

Chen Xian knew very well in his heart, in fact, from the first time he saw Xiao Mingyue, he knew that almost all men in the world had to be his rivals, and now what envoys of the Japanese Kingdom also came to covet Xiao Mingyue for the emperor, and he would never tolerate this!

Xiao Mingyue could hear Chen Xian's jealousy, smiled at the envoy, and added: "I'm just an ordinary woman, nothing special, so I won't bother the envoy!"

The envoy understood, so he had to give up his own thoughts.

"That's a shame!"

After the banquet, the officials of Chen Xian's post house entertained the envoys.

He also found Xiao Mingyue and said that this envoy came this time, not only to make friends, but also to bring many masters, disguised as merchants in the Central Plains.

"They arrived three days ago, saying that they were ready to face the saint, but in fact, they did a lot of things in secret!" Chen Xiantong Xiao Mingyue said.

"Ji Yu?" Xiao Mingyue reacted.

Seeing that Chen Xian no longer spoke, Xiao Mingyue was even more sure of her judgment.

Xiao Mingyue: "Emperor Yide wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?!"

"It is rumored that there is a civil strife in the Wa Kingdom, and the former emperor and Princess Naijiu's old ministry have begun to secretly gather forces for revenge, and are sparing no effort to find the whereabouts of the royal family, including this Ji Yu, of course!" Chen Xian said.

"Ji Yu is too dangerous now, no matter what, we are friends, I can't watch him have an accident, he has no quarrel with the world, why don't the people of the Japanese country let him go!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, and the widow doesn't want them to take people away in Jiankang City, and besides, Ji Yu is also Ji Kang's descendant after all, if you let people go in vain, wouldn't it be ignoring our existence!" Chen Xian frowned and said.

"Your Majesty, don't make too much trouble about this matter, especially don't let Princess Wan'er know, I'm worried that it will affect her relationship with the concubine!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"Good!" Chen Xian nodded in agreement.

Xiao Mingyue and Chen Xian ordered someone to secretly rush to Ji Yu's residence to protect his safety, and as a last resort, they told him to leave Jiankang quickly and take refuge in the northwest area.

The envoys also kept inquiring about Ji Yu's news day and night.

Because Ji Yu is outstanding in appearance and is a peerless beautiful man, ordinary people must never forget it.

But fortunately, Ji Yu shows herself as a woman most of the time, so it is not easy to find out.

When Ji Yu was seven or eight years old, under the protection of his family servants, he quietly returned to his ancestor's hometown of Gongxian, and came to Jiankang because of the war.

His servant said, "Childe, or let's go and hide somewhere else!" It's best not to be found by them, or they'll follow us even if we escape!"

Ji Yu inherited the uninhibited and free personality of his ancestors, and his wish in life is to live a happy life, no longer hide his identity, and hide in Tibet.

For the arrival of the envoys of the Japanese state, but they did not care.

He said to the servants beside him: "All these years, thanks to you being by my side, secretly protecting me, but this time, I don't want to continue to hide, such a dark day, I don't want to continue." Let's go, let's all go, and since my identity makes them uneasy, go back with them, or give them my life. I just don't want to bother a few of you anymore!"

"Childe! No! The head of the family specially explained before his death, and he must definitely ensure your safety!" The subordinate said.

"Listen to me! Just hand me over! I've always been a failure, I can't disclose my identity like others, and I can't be with the person I like, and now that they have come to the door, I will fulfill them, and it is better than even involving other people, people are inherently dead!" Ji Yu said.

"Boom!" His subordinates took advantage of his inattention to click on the sleeping hole behind his head and told Ji Yu to fall asleep.

Then, with the help of the forbidden army, he quickly left Jiankang City and headed to the northwest.

The envoy saw that Ji Yu was missing, and he was obviously anxious.

He went to the palace three times and twice to knock on the sympathetic pleas, wanting to use the emperor's power to find Ji Yu.

Chen Xian went around in circles every time and didn't buy it.

So much so that the envoys of the Wa Kingdom were not allowed to say, "I want to find the whereabouts of the son of the princess of the previous dynasty"

"Your Wa Kingdom has lost Wang Shizi, what does it have to do with our Chen State?" Chen Xian couldn't help but ask.

"It is the intention of His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor regrets letting the prince go into exile! I want to find Wang Shizi as soon as possible! Emperor, you also know that he is half of the Central Plains, and his ancestors are from here, so where else can he be except here!" The envoy said with some pleading.

"Presumptuous! Do you mean to say that the widow has hid your people? Chen Xian asked angrily.

"I didn't mean that, I just asked His Majesty the Emperor for help!" The envoy said.

Xiao Wan also heard that there were Kabuki from the Wa Kingdom in the palace, and their appearance and dress were very different from those of the Central Plains.

I called the green kite to come into the palace to come and see, went to Mingyue Tower to find Xiao Mingyue, and made an appointment to watch the Kabuki performance together.

Xiao Mingyue and Chen Xian's plan was not to let the people of the Wa Kingdom find Ji Yu, and after the days of foreign envoys congratulating, they had to go back.

I don't want Xiao Wan to know about it.

The three of them watched the Kabuki performance together, Xiao Wan and Qing Kite thought it was very interesting and fascinated to watch, did they also learn the tone of their speech and the movements of their dance.

"Sister Mingyue, Huan'er likes to watch these Kabuki dance, can Huan'er often come to the palace to see in the future?" Xiao Wan asked.

"Since the princess likes it, of course she can!" Xiao Mingyue said with a smile.

"Great, Huan'er knows that Sister Mingyue is the best. Huan'er knows that Concubine Zhen gave birth to a son, and she is very proud, Sister Mingyue doesn't want to be like her!"

Seeing that Xiao Wan actually comforted herself in turn, Xiao Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh.

"It's okay, I didn't take these things to heart, not to mention that Your Majesty has a prince, it should be a happy thing!"
