"This old man's visit is for state affairs." Dr. Wei stroked his beard. Seeing Meng Zhao's surprised eyes, Dr. Wei continued: "The old man came by the will of the monarch to take Meng Jiang, the daughter of King Zhao, into the palace and be named a princess, waiting for the marriage between Chu and Meng. ”

"How, how..... Yes..." Meng Zhao was startled and sat down on the chair.

"Father, what's wrong?" Meng Jiang heard his father's exclamation, and hurriedly ran to Meng Zhao's side and helped him up.

Lingjun has seen the teacher. Meng Jiang saluted Doctor Wei, raised his head and asked, "Teacher, is the monarch of Meng Guoguo going to take me into the palace?" Make me a princess? Do you know why? ”

"The old man is hard to say, let's make a long story short, the Emperor of Chu proposed peace to Meng for the crown prince of Chu, and was willing to take five cities as a dowry. The royal family of Meng is withered, and we don't dare to use a daughter of non-royal blood to pretend to be a princess and deceive the king of Chu, so the old man recommended you to Meng Jun. “

Meng Jiang closed the door and looked back at his father, "Father, do you agree to let me go?" You've spent most of your life trying to free yourself from royal control and strife, and now we're going back? “

Meng Zhao sighed and said, "I.... I don't want to go back and I don't ...... I don't want you to go back..... Go back, let alone ...... I don't want you to go to Chu..... Chu Chu country and pro. Long...... Long...... Trekking, thousands of miles...... If anything happens to you, you, you, and you, I will whip Momo...... Unreachable, unreachable...... Unable to ...... Protect you. ”

"Father, I've grown up, you don't have to worry about me." Meng Jiang comforted him.

Lord Wei said unhurriedly: "King Zhao, Lingjun is also my favorite. This child is careful and bold, insightful of world affairs, hard-working, not arrogant or impatient, eager to learn and motivated......"

"Doctor Wei, you ...... Are you recommending good talents for Emperor Chu...... Or the crown princess? Meng Zhao was happy in his heart, but he couldn't help but interrupt Dr. Wei's endless words of praise.

"Hahaha, of course it's the princess." Dr. Wei laughed.

Dr. Wei put away his smile and said, "I also know your situation very well. At that time, the first emperor suppressed the domestic rebellion with the power of thunder, and several princes fought fiercely and were widely implicated. The first emperor had to kill several princes for the sake of national stability, and the rest of the princes were also implicated, and the first emperor sentenced several highnesses to exile to the frontier and not to enter the country again in this life. ”

He sighed and said: "King Zhao is merciful, he can't bear to see his brothers killing each other, and the people are struggling to make a living, so he asked to leave the court of Meng State, and he also scattered his family wealth to help the poor people. But he endured poverty and displacement. ”

Talking about the history of the previous dynasty and the experiences of several highnesses, Dr. Wei's heart was heavy. I have to say that the first emperor was too cruel to his own princes. But without the iron-blooded suppression of the first emperor, it would not have been possible to exchange for today's stability. It's just a pity...... Those outstanding princes.

Meng Zhao thought of that dark history and felt very sad in his heart, he had been cautious for many years, and it was difficult for him to escape his doom. Several times in distress, it was only under the desperate protection of the princess and the guards that they were able to save their lives, while the other brothers were forced to stay away from their homeland.

Thinking of the brothers, Meng Zhao couldn't help but cover his sleeves and cry, and said: "I don't know if the queen mother is healthy, but the sons are not filial and can't serve the left and right." The poor imperial brother was displaced and could not return to Beijing, and there was no news. Meng Zhao was incompetent and could not do something for his brothers. ”

Meng Jiang really wanted to ask what happened back then, it had such a big impact and was so widely implicated. But there are so many people outside, I don't know if anyone's eyeliner is hiding in it. Meng Jiang had to silently suppress the many questions in her heart one by one, she looked at Doctor Wei and asked, "Does the master want me to go to Chu to make peace?" ”

"Exactly. I want you to go to the state of Chu, to see the strength and prosperity of the great powers, and to learn and understand what the state of Meng does not have. I want you to go to the state of Chu and conclude an alliance for the two countries of Meng and Chu. I hope you can be an envoy of the kingdom of Meng, not a princess of harmony. ”

Dr. Wei stroked his beard and said, "Chu has always disdained diplomacy with weak countries, if it can establish a strategic alliance for the two countries this time of friendly diplomacy, I believe that several other countries adjacent to Meng will not underestimate Meng." ”

"Lingjun is willing to go to Chu State and fulfill the teacher's wish." Meng Jiang said sincerely, "Your wish is also my wish. ”

Doctor Wei opened the door, and the bright sunlight shone into the house, illuminating the entire room and illuminating the road to a strong country in Meng Jiang's heart.

A group of palace people lined up from the house to the courtyard in an orderly manner. Doctor Wei received the holy decree from Gonggong Cao, who was standing at the front, and slowly recited, "Your Majesty has a decree, ordering the lord of Zhaohua to enter the palace and enter the palace immediately, take over the position of princess, and go to Chu to sign a marriage contract with the crown prince Chu."

Doctor Wei held the holy decree in his hands and knelt down on one leg tremblingly, "Your Excellency the county lord, the state of Chu suddenly made a difficult move to sign a marriage contract with my Meng country, but the royal family of the Meng country only has a prince and no princess. Only King Zhao has a daughter, and he hopes that the county lord can focus on the overall situation and relieve the predicament of the Meng Kingdom. ”

Meng Jiang hurriedly helped up Dr. Wei and said, "For the country and the people, I will not give up." “

Meng Jiang said, lifted the hem of her clothes, knelt on the ground, raised her hands high, waiting for the order, she said in a deep voice: "Meng Jiang takes the order." Doctor Wei solemnly handed over the holy decree to Meng Jiang's hands.

Gonggong Cao, who was with Dr. Wei, bowed down and said, "Please also ask the county lord to change into the clothes of entering the palace." ”

Gonggong Cao clapped his hands, and the two palace maids presented their hands with gorgeous costumes and exquisite headdresses.

"Please change your clothes."

—————I'm a dividing line—————

Meng Lingjun pushed open the door of the house, and several people present were amazed. Meng has always respected purple, and the darker the color, the more precious. Meng Jiang was wearing a gorgeous costume at this time was mainly purple, outlining the pattern of the phoenix playing with pearls with gold wire, the yellow undershirt and petticoat highlighted the beauty of the purple tunic, and the phoenix outlined on the costume was lifelike, and each feather was brilliant. Meng Jiang's jet-black and bright hair was coiled high, and rubies and gold steps were inserted, and with each step, the gold step on his head shook with it, making a light sound. The ruby sparkles in the sun, elegant and noble, beautiful, and no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they have to bow their heads shyly under the bright and moving brilliance of the girl.

Grandpa Cao exclaimed: "It's so beautiful." ”

Doctor Wei smiled and nodded: "The Lord of Zhaohua County is really the posture of a heavenly maiden. ”

Meng Zhao sighed infinitely in his heart, the child has grown up, and she really looks like her aunt when she was young. If the child's mother can see the child grow up, she will also be happy. I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly. Embarking on this road, Lingjun is destined to be extraordinary in his life. It will be a path of glory and twists and turns. As a father, he naturally hopes that his daughter can live a peaceful and happy life, but as a descendant of the Meng family, he hopes that his daughter can take on the mission and responsibility of the royal family. Lingjun is not a thing in the pool, she should spread her wings and fly high like an eagle, this is the way Lingjun should go.

Gonggong Cao bowed his head and said, "County Lord, please get in the car." The crowd bowed: "Please get in the car." ”

Meng Jiang turned around to say goodbye to his father, Meng Zhao nodded with satisfaction, thinking of his mother who had taken care of him for many years, and told Meng Jiang that if he had the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother, he must confess to his mother on his behalf, and fulfill the filial piety that he had failed to fulfill over the years.

"Go, Lingjun, take care of yourself, and use it if you get into trouble." The father took his hand and shoved a cool object into his hand. "Your mother will bless you, too."

Sitting in the carriage, Meng Jiang was a little nervous. In the face of everything that was coming, Meng Jiang was not ready in his heart. She lifted the curtain and looked out, the familiar scene receding until it was gone. What catches your eye is the Zijin Imperial City, which has never dared to enter the extravagant, majestic and splendid. Unfold your clenched fists, and your palms sweat slightly. What my father stuffed himself before he left must have been extremely important. This is...... A wrench? I don't see anything special. In order to prevent loss, he carefully put it in his arms.

The carriage drove to the front of the palace gate. "County Lord, please get off the bus, the next road needs to walk." Cao Gong is fair.

"Okay." Meng Jiang slowly stepped out of the carriage, "Please let Gonggong Cao lead the way." ”

Meng Jiang looked at the majestic and magnificent palace hall, and she couldn't help but ask herself in confusion, what does the future look like? What unexpected awaits her ahead?

"Xuan Zhaohua County Lord enters the palace." The shouts of the father-in-law interrupted Meng Jiang's thoughts.

Meng Jiang took a deep breath, smoothed his fluctuating emotions, folded his hands in front of his chest, raised his long sleeves and flowing ribbons, and walked forward slowly.

Hundreds of officials stand on both sides. Meng Jiang slowly walked into the hall with a lot of curiosity and attention. What should I do, before entering the palace, there is no palace person to explain the rules of court etiquette for myself, how to salute and how to call myself after a while? Meng Jiang didn't squint, thinking about how to face it wholeheartedly.

The hundred officials admired this folk county lord in their hearts, and he was worthy of being the royal county lord, and he was still calm and calm in the eyes of everyone in the main hall, showing a powerful aura.

At this time, a man dressed in yellow clothes walked to the center of the main hall, bowed to Meng Jiang, who had walked to the front of the hall, and said, "Lord Zhaohua." Winked at her and smiled slightly.

When Meng Jiang saw the familiar person, his nervous mood relaxed a little, and he returned the salute. Meng Jinyu whispered when she gave way to the side: "Close your hands and raise them at shoulder height, just kneel down on one knee." Meng Jiang smiled appreciatively at him. That smile was like a spring breeze, blowing into Meng Jinyu's heart. Cousin Lingjun is so beautiful today, and the purple dress she carefully selected is really suitable for her. Meng Jinyu thought to herself.

Meng Jiang followed Meng Jinyu's reminder, folded his hands in the cage, raised it flat and shoulder-high, and knelt on one knee. Lang Sheng said: "Zhaohua came to meet the king by the will of the king. ”

"Zhaohua is flat." Meng Jun said. Meng Jun also looked at this little niece who grew up in the folk curiously. Meng Jun has been staring at her since Meng Jiang entered the palace, feeling that she has a noble temperament and is not inferior to other children who grew up in the court. At this time, Meng Jiang walked closer and felt that she had an extraordinary temperament.

"This cousin is good-looking. You can still get in. Meng Rong shook his fan and said.

"It's not just good, it's good, it's good. In terms of appearance, I have never seen a more outstanding woman than Zhaohua's cousin. Meng Ji argued with Meng Rong.

"That's because you're lonely, how many women have you seen?"

"How many have you seen?!"

"Hmph."

"Hmph."

"Zhaohua, how has your father been doing for so many years?" Meng Jun asked.

"Thank you Dajun for your concern, everything is fine with my father." Meng Jiang replied.

That's good, that's good. What did Zhaohua learn and what books did he read in the school? Meng Jun asked with some curiosity.

"Zhaohua studied the Book of Songs, the Analects, and the Zuo Biography at the school, and the master would assign some strategies and arguments as homework." Meng Jiang is as good as a stream.

After hearing this, Meng Jun felt quite surprised, and said, "It seems that Zhaohua has learned a lot in the school. Dr. Wei praised you for being studious and diligent. It's a rarity. ”

Meng Jiang smiled modestly and said, "Thank you for your praise and the teachings of Doctor Wei and the master. ”

Meng Jun nodded again and again. It's rare that I haven't lost a pearl in the sea.

"Zhaohua, I will make you a princess and send you to Chu and your relatives, are you willing?"

"Zhaohua is willing."

"Good, Zhaohua Ling. Canonized the lord of Zhaohua as a princess, and ten days later went to Chu to marry the prince of Chu. ”

"Zhaohua Ling."

"The Queen Mother always reminds me about your father, you go to see her old man's house, and help your father fulfill his filial piety."

"Yes, obey the king's orders, and Zhaohua will retire." After that, Meng Jiang bowed and retired.
