Nanchu, Tianjing

Outside the city gates

"Xia Chun, the chief butler of Princess Anya's mansion, meet the eldest prince."

Hearing that the old man reported to his home, he made the officers and soldiers of Nanchu, who had seen someone blocking the road and were about to step forward to scold, brake suddenly, and then retreat silently.

Jokes, in the entire Tianjing City, who dares to put it right with Princess Anya's Mansion............

This is Her Royal Highness, the only princess of Da Chu, who is deeply favored and respected by His Majesty and the grandson.

Therefore, the Southern Chu soldiers, who were in charge of guarding the envoy's convoy, ignored Xia Chun, who was blocking the road, and allowed the other party to shout to the convoy of the Western Zhou envoys.

The officers and soldiers of Southern Chu don't care, and the convoy of envoys of the Western Zhou Dynasty will not be regarded as nothing.

After all, they were envoys of a country on behalf of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they were stopped outside the city gate and were not allowed to enter the city, and it would be disgraceful to spread the word to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

So, the commander of the guard of the Western Zhou envoys, Jiang Zang, the general of the Wupinza Miscellaneous Army, and Mao Xinliang, the deputy envoy, found Pang Yidian, who had been hiding in the carriage since the old man appeared.

"Huge people, if you don't show your face and let them get out of the way, the convoy of the dignified Zhou envoys is blocked outside Tianjing City, and it is difficult to move an inch, and it will be like something to spread out."

Pang Yidian's face was ugly, he was silent for a while, and nodded, Jiang and Mao were overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Pang Yidian down from the carriage.

……………

Pang Yidian held the Tiger Tail Festival, surrounded by Jiang, Mao and other Western Zhou envoys and guards, and came to the front of the convoy and faced Xia Chun, the housekeeper of the princess's mansion, who was blocking the road.

"This envoy Pang Yidian, dare to ask why the old man is blocking my way."

Looking at Pang Yidian's bloated and fat figure, the old man Xia Chun was a little surprised.

It wasn't until he vaguely found from the round face of Pang Yidian that he was somewhat similar to the eyebrows and eyes of the Yushu windy, handsome and extraordinary Pang Concubine.

Then combined with the Tiger Tail Festival in Pang Yidian's hand, which symbolizes the identity of the envoy, he finally confirmed that the Pang Yidian in front of him is the eldest son who has been separated from his princess's mother and son for many years.

After confirming the identity of Pang Yidian, Xia Chun didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to block the road, and fell to the ground on their knees.

"Old slave Xia Chun, welcome the eldest prince to return Chu."

Most of the envoys of the Western Zhou Dynasty were startled by the actions of Xia Xi and the others, and they were inexplicably frightened, and their eyes looking at Pang Yidian were full of confusion and a trace of fear.

Could it be that his own envoy is a spy of the Chu State.........

It is not surprising that everyone in the Western Zhou Dynasty reacted like this, after all, it has been twenty years since Pang Ao entered Nanchu, and many people have forgotten this gossip.

Even if it is still remembered, except for the parties and some high-level officials of the Western Zhou and Southern Chu, other people are not very clear about the specific details of this matter, for example, the son born to Pang Ao and Princess Anya has returned to the Western Zhou Dynasty many years ago.

Therefore, in the envoy team, except for a few people such as Jiang and Mao at the core, who knew Pang Yidian's background, the rest of the ordinary entourage guards did not know the inside story.

Some people questioned why Pang Yidian was able to become a chief envoy and cry out for Mao Xinliang, the deputy envoy from Honglu Temple.

…………

Pang Yidian ignored the surprised people of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he looked at Xia Chun who was kneeling in front of him, and vaguely felt a little impressed, and couldn't help frowning, recalling the memories of more than ten years ago in his mind.

After about 100 breaths, Pang Yidian finally remembered, and asked Xia Chun with a little uncertainty: "I remember you, you seem to be Mama Wu's wife, right?" ”

As soon as Pang Yidian's words came out, Xia Xi immediately burst into tears of joy: "God is pitiful, for so many years, you are the eldest son...... You still remember the old slave husband and wife, son, the old slave can be regarded as looking forward to you back. ”

Seeing Xia Chun so excited, Pang Yidian couldn't help but be a little moved, but in front of so many people, he didn't say much, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Xia Chun, and asked again.

"Mama Wu is fine."

Pang Yidian was only five years old when he was from Chu, and he was still young and ignorant, so he didn't have many memories of Nanchu, and people only remembered a few impressive ones.

In addition to his father Pang Ao and his mother Princess Anya, the nurse Wu Mama, who has been with Pang Yidian for several years, can almost rank third.

To this day, Pang Yidian can still vaguely remember what Mama Wu looks like, dressed in a basket robe, with a slightly round face, a very quiet smile, and a soft voice, she is a very gentle woman.

Hearing Pang Yidian ask his wife, Xia Chun sighed: "The old woman is not blessed to see you, she went due to illness two years ago, and she also talked about you before she died." ”

Pang Yidian pursed the corners of his mouth, the old man was gone, which made him feel a little panicked, and the mood that had just become a little expectant to Nan Chu because of Xia Chun dimmed again.

Unintentionally continuing to talk to Xia Chun, Pang Yidian pointed to the convoy behind him and asked Xia Chun if he could give way and let them into the city.

Xia Chun's face showed embarrassment: "The son spoke, the old slave should have complied, but before the old slave came, the princess told the old slave that I would take you back to the princess's mansion, and you subordinates ......... The princess has commanded that you should not be brought into the city with you........."

"What does she mean by that?"

Pang Yidian's face changed, and he shouted angrily: "This envoy was ordered by the emperor to send an envoy to the Chu State to discuss the major affairs of the two countries, how could he give up halfway because of the words of one person, what kind of truth is this?" Is this how Nan Chu treats the envoys of friendly countries? ”

Xia Chun couldn't raise his head when he was reprimanded by Pang Yidian, but his footsteps still didn't move, and the meaning was obvious.

You say yours, but we still have to listen to the princess.........

…………

Seeing this, Pang Yi walked away angrily: "Okay, the envoy came sincerely, since the state of Chu is so hospitable, the envoy will not wait, come and return to the country." ”

No one would have thought that with just a few words from Xia Chun, Pang Yidian was so angry that he wanted to return to the Western Zhou, which startled Jiang Zang and the others, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, but when they saw Pang Yidian who turned around, he secretly winked at himself, and suddenly his heart was clear.

Huge people, this is deliberately retreating as advancing!

So, Jiang Zang and the others, who had let go of their hearts, also showed angry expressions on their faces, and cooperated with Pang Yidian with a clear heart, shouting and began to turn the horse's head, preparing to return to the direction where they came just now.

This move of Pang Yidian and the convoy of envoys of the Western Zhou Dynasty not only made Xia Chun and the others at a loss, but also frightened the officers and soldiers of Southern Chu who had been guarding the convoy of envoys who had been watching the play.

You must know that the task they received from above was to escort the Western Zhou envoys to the capital post house, and to ensure the safety of the Western Zhou envoys during the period.

Therefore, in the face of the blockade of the princess's mansion, as long as the other party has no malicious attempt to attack the envoy's convoy, the officers and soldiers of Nanchu who cannot afford to offend the princess's mansion consciously turn a blind eye and watch the excitement.

But now that the envoys of the Western Zhou Dynasty were angry and left, those Southern Chu officers and soldiers couldn't sit still.

The envoys of the Western Zhou Dynasty, under their protection, were forced away in public!

No matter how the other party ends, they have to be deducted from the hat of incompetence first, and they can't eat good fruit up and down.

As a result, the officers and soldiers of Southern Chu did not dare to continue to watch from the wall, so Hulala ran over to stop Pang Yidian and them, and while persuading the Western Zhou side, he sent people to actively negotiate with Xia Chun's side, begging the other party to give way.

Maybe Xia Chun was also frightened by Pang Yidian's fierce reaction just now, and was afraid that Pang Yidian would really leave, so he didn't continue to insist on blocking the way.

Under the persuasion of the officers and soldiers guarding Nanchu, it didn't take long for Xia Chun to lead people to get out of the way.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the officers and soldiers of Southern Chu hurriedly urged the convoy of envoys of the Western Zhou Dynasty to enter the city, and Pang Yidian they also accepted it when they saw it, hurriedly got into the car and entered the city, and rushed to the post house prepared for them by the Honglu Temple of Southern Chu.

After Pang Yidian and the others entered the city, Xia Chun did not stay at the city gate for long, and soon returned to the princess's mansion with people, and at the same time, Pang Yidian and Xia Chun were entangled and confronted at the city gate just now, and it quickly reached the ears of those who cared.

……………

Nangong Mansion.

The mansion of Princess Anya Nangong Yi.

Pang Ao died young, and the late Prince Chongling (the nickname of the prince of Nanchu who died and was posthumously sealed) married the widowed Princess Anya to the second son of Lu Guogong at that time, which is now Nangong Yi.

At that time, Princess Anya was concerned about Pang Ao, who had died not long ago, and was unwilling to marry others, but she couldn't stand the tough attitude of Prince Chongling, and finally married another, and her only son Pang Yidian was also sent to the Western Zhou Dynasty by Prince Chongling.

Because of this incident, the relationship between Princess Anya and Prince Chongling's father and daughter was very stiff for a while, and it was not until Prince Chongling died of a serious illness that it improved slightly.

However, although Princess Anya and Prince Chongling reconciled, she did not have much affection for her second husband Nangong Yi.

Although Princess Anya had two sons with her, she never lived with Nangong Yi, but lived alone in the princess's mansion, thinking about her son from time to time, Princess Anya called her two sons back to the princess's mansion to live for a while.

And Ma Nangong Yi, after the death of Prince Chongling, almost never spent a few nights in the princess's mansion.

Such an embarrassing situation also made Nangong Yi, the unfavored second married concubine Nan Chu, faintly a joke, if it weren't for the fact that he had a brother who was a general, and Nangong Xin, the Duke of Xingguo, was covered, I am afraid that someone would dare to mock him in person.

However, despite this, Nangong Yi was also fed up with the humiliation brought to him by this title of concubine, and had repeatedly expressed his dislike for the identity of this concubine in public, and even was reprimanded and punished by the imperial grandson for this.

At the same time, under this long-term psychological torture, slowly, Nangong Yi's heart was filled with hatred for Princess Anya and the Nanchu royal family.

He had wanted to find an opportunity more than once to take revenge on Princess Anya, but unfortunately, Nangong Yi, a concubine, was not welcomed, had no real power, and in addition to the idle position of a member of the five-rank military department, the power he could use was not as good as his two sons.

In this case, Nangong Yi wants to take revenge on Princess Anya, which is tantamount to worrying about the sky.

So, gradually, Nangong Yi hid the hatred in his heart, borrowed alcohol every day to kill his sorrows, drunk and dreamed of death, and escaped reality.

To this day, the hangover Nangong Yi was called up from bed by his henchman butler, and his heart suddenly moved when he heard him tell the story of what happened at the city gate.

If he killed Pang Yidian, would that slut be grief-stricken............
