Qu Ping knew everything about the items in his room, when did this sudden extra pear appear, and it was so obvious? I'm afraid I won't be able to see it.

Just now, Ji Ya took all the subordinates out to go shopping with him, and there were only two Siamese people in the courtyard, could it be that they put them here?

With doubts, Qu Ping planned to ask the Siamese people with pears.

When Qu Ping went out, he saw Li Jun and Xiao Hei moving out of the stool to bask in the sun in the yard, so he asked, "Do you have pears?" ”

Li Jun looked at the pear in Qu Ping's hand and said, "What a big pear!" How come we don't? Too eccentric! I protest! ”

If they don't have it, they have it? Qu Ping felt strange, ignored Li Jun, and walked straight to the Siamese who was brushing the elephant with a pear.

Li Jun shouted: "Lord Wang, you don't give us food for the Siamese people, you are naked to buy people's hearts!" ”

Qu Ping ignored Li Jun, he walked up to the two Siamese people, pointed to each other, and then pointed to the pear in his hand, and said, "Did you put it in my room?" ”

The Siamese people didn't understand, thinking that Qu Ping was going to give them pears to eat, so they smiled and prepared to reach out to catch the pears, while saying thank you.

Qu Ping took the pear back, pointed to the other party again, then to his room, and finally pointed to himself, made a gesture of eating, and repeated: "Did you put this pear in my room?" ”

The two Siamese people understood this time, they looked at each other, waved their hands and said no, no.

"Has anyone been here?" Qu Ping said as he racked his brains and gestured.

The Siamese shook his head no, and then stared at the pear in Qu Ping's hand.

Seeing that they were so greedy, Qu Ping gave the pears to the Siamese. The two Siamese happily accepted Qu Ping's gift and ate it in person.

Xiao Hei said to Li Jun on the side: "Big brother, we, do we have it, can we eat?" ”

Although Li Jun is a rough man, he is not a stupid person, he has already seen the clue from Qu Ping's expression and the conversation just now.

There's something strange about this!

Someone, while everyone was away, took advantage of the Siamese people's inattention, entered Qu Ping's room, and left a pear.

What does that mean exactly?

The Siamese quickly finished eating the pears and complimented Qu Ping with words he didn't understand.

Qu Ping and Li Jun looked at the Siamese people carefully, and after a long while, they did not see any symptoms of poisoning and discomfort from the Siamese.

This pear is non-toxic and harmless, green and organic.

Qu Ping walked towards Li Jun and said, "There is something strange about this, you can see it, right?" ”

Li Jun nodded and replied: "Someone wants us to leave, more precisely, they want you to leave!" ”

"Pear" is "leave", the intention of this pear, presumably this is the meaning.

"Since this person gave a pear, he must know Chinese. Who could it be? Qu Ping was full of questions.

"Surely it won't be the Queen!" Li Jun analyzed.

Qu Ping said: "It shouldn't be the queen, she doesn't need to play dumb riddles so much." In addition to her, who can speak Chinese, there is another person ......"

"Her Chinese teacher!"

"Don't rule her out!" Qu Ping said, "Who is it that God mysteriously let us go? Or is there some hidden secret here? ”

Li Jun said without hesitation: "What does the prince want to do, I, Li Jun, am willing to accompany you!" ”

Curiosity kills cats!

Qu Ping thought for a while and said: "Let's do our duty honestly, and when the Buddha's birthday is over, we will communicate with the queen and the two countries will have good neighborly relations and leave!" ”

After the previous experience of walking the streets and alleys, Qu Ping has already drawn the general map route of the Queen's King City in his mind, and in case of an unexpected situation, he can also withdraw and find the correct, fast and effective path to run as soon as possible.

I thought that I would have to wait until tomorrow's Buddha's birthday, but I didn't expect the queen to send someone to invite Qu Ping and the four of them to the palace for dinner that night. The sooner you can meet the Queen, the sooner you can complete the diplomatic communication, and the sooner you can leave.

The palace is not high-sounding, but it is painted with gold everywhere, and it is simply used as paint and money.

Soldiers are stationed at important intersections and corners.

The palace was not large, and not long after entering and walking, I met the queen in a large hall. Presumably, this place is the main hall of her government.

The queen sat on the top throne, flanked by two rows of tables and stools, and sat her ministers. Most of the ministers are women, of course, there are also men, and it is estimated that there are more than 100 people, and I don't know how many of the legendary 800 female generals account for them.

There is also a vacant spot on the opposite side, I don't know who it is reserved for.

When the queen saw that Qu Ping and the four of them were ushered in, she stood up and greeted Qu Ping in person, inviting them to sit on the seat closest to her on her left, which was a gift of hospitality and convenient communication.

Qu Ping said politely: "I came in a hurry, I didn't have time to bring gifts, and I ask Her Majesty the Queen for forgiveness." ”

The queen smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, isn't it the best gift for me if the prince can come?" ”

Qu Ping was stunned, the queen wouldn't want to engage in any impure relationship between men and women, right? 軒軒書

But I heard the queen say again: "The prince represents the powerful Great Song Dynasty, and your arrival has brought the best gift not only to me, but also to my subjects." I hope that the prince will give him advice and raise us a lot, so that our people's lives will be richer! ”

It turns out that I thought about it too much! Qu Ping said: "The world is the world of the people of the world, so naturally we should coexist peacefully and share the blessings!" ”

At this moment, a woman came from outside the door without hurrying, saluted the queen, and walked to the empty spot.

Qu Ping looked at this woman and was taken aback, how could it be her?

The queen and the woman looked at each other strangely, and pretended to be casual and said, "Lord, let me introduce you, this is my teacher." Teacher, you came at just the right time, this is the King of Song Xiang! ”

That woman is a ghost woman!

Qu Ping once met her in the northern part of Srivijaya, and at that time she also said that she was going to the royal city of Sriwijaya for an event, which turned out to be related to the royal kingdom. I don't know what the ghost woman is doing in the queen kingdom and what is her identity?

"Fortunately. It turns out that the Queen's Chinese was taught by you! can teach such a powerful apprentice, presumably the teacher is not bad. Qu Ping pretended not to know the ghost woman.

The ghost woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Qu Ping didn't show that she knew herself, otherwise her conversation with the queen would have aroused the queen's suspicions.

The ghost woman folded her hands and said to Qu Ping: "Lord Xiang, fortunately." ”

"Alright, everyone is here. Delicious food, singing and dancing! The queen commanded.

The songs and dances of the Queen's Kingdom are somewhat similar to those seen in modern times, mainly expressing reverence for gods and Buddhas.

Qu Ping was not interested in this, and after eating a few bites of food, he talked to the queen about the cultural and economic exchanges between the two countries.

But the queen didn't seem to be very interested in this, and she said, "Isn't this meal and singing and dancing to the prince's liking?" It is rare for the prince to come from afar, so let's experience more of our local customs first, and other things can be talked about slowly after the Buddha's birthday. ”

Qu Ping wondered, why did the queen always avoid business, did she want to take the people of the queen's kingdom to sit in the well and watch the sky forever? This Buddha's birthday has such a great charm that it can squeeze everything aside?

Qu Ping is now more interested in this Buddha's birthday, and tomorrow he must take a closer look at what is so magical about it.

"Then listen to the Queen." Qu Ping asked by the way, "Which Buddha is the birth of this Buddha's birthday?" ”

"Jialan Bodhisattva. Does the prince also believe in Buddhism? The queen asked.

Of course, Qu Ping does not believe in Buddhism, but he also knows some things about Buddhism.

This Jialan Bodhisattva and Veda Bodhisattva are the two protectors of the Buddha sitting down, Jialan roughly means the meaning of the temple, in China, Jialan Bodhisattva is the image of Guan Yu holding a big knife.

This is the Bodhisattva's entry into the local customs, each with its own manifestation. The Buddha said that all things are not the same, whether they are incarnated as human beings or cows, ghosts, gods, and snakes, as long as it can save people, then it is a Buddha.

Qu Ping said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the queen." I have no understanding, and I am afraid that I will not have anything to do with it in this life. Ha ha. ”

"Improving people's livelihood and educating all people are all universal beings. In this regard, the prince is already far higher than the average monk and monk. ”

"The queen praised it." Qu Ping inquired about the information of the eight hundred female generals and said, "I heard that the eight hundred female generals under the queen's command are all women. ”

The queen smiled: "Eight hundred is just an imaginary number, just a pronoun. These female ministers here today are part of it. Tomorrow is the Buddha's birthday, and the prince will be able to see all the female ministers! ”

Qu Ping praised: "Her Majesty has created an era, which is respectable. I salute Your Majesty! ”

Qu Ping and the queen clinked glasses in the air and drank them all.

Qu Ping filled the wine glass, got up and said: "It is a great fortune to meet the old voice in another country." This king's cup should be honored to the queen's teacher. ”

After Qu Ping finished speaking, he got up and prepared to move towards the ghost woman.

Because the two are far apart, there are some words, Qu Ping wants to ask the ghost woman quietly.

"Stop!" The queen stopped, "The prince can please sit in his seat, local customs, you can't move during the meal, that would be rude." Please forgive me! ”

"And this strange custom, why haven't I heard of it?" Qu Pingxin said.

There's no way, this is someone's home field, and whatever she says is what she says.

But in this way, the words in your heart cannot be spoken in public.

Qu Ping had no choice but to sit back in his seat, and raised his glass to the ghost woman and said, "Your Excellency has built a bridge of friendship between the two tribes and made indelible contributions to the people of the two tribes, and this king respects you here. After saying that, he drank it all.

The ghost woman followed and drank a glass of wine, and then suddenly said a poem without a clue, she said: "Tao Yuanming once had a poem, which contained these sentences: Yun Wuxin is out of Xiu, and the bird is tired of flying and knows how to return; Jing Phong will enter, caress the lonely pine and coil. Does the prince remember the title of his poem? ”

Qu Ping thought about it for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm a rough person and don't understand these elegant things. ”

Qu Ping really didn't know the title of Tao Yuanming's poem, and even the few sentences that the ghost woman read just now, Qu Ping didn't taste the artistic conception and meaning in it, and he didn't know what the ghost woman meant by suddenly chanting the poem without a head.

The queen listened to the ghost woman reciting poems, but the queen's Chinese level stayed at daily communication, and she didn't know anything about ancient poems.

In order to prevent the ghost woman from transmitting any message to Qu Ping in this way, the queen reminded: "This king doesn't understand, it's better to be straightforward if there is anything to say!" ”

After the queen finished speaking, she said something to the ghost woman in the local language, and her tone was still a little stern.

Qu Ping heard the unhappiness in the queen's words, could it be that there was any disagreement between the queen and the ghost woman? Could it be related to yourself?

After the ghost woman was told by the queen, she never spoke again, frowning slightly.
