Qu Ping slammed his feet into the face of his true qi, rushed over and grabbed Tana's hand, pulling her back from a foot away from the water.

Qu Ping had a good grasp of the strength in his hand, and seeing that Tana was about to crash into his chest, he turned his body and gently took his hand to let her stand firmly behind him, and then unconsciously let go of Tana's hand.

Disappointed, Tana sneered, "You want to kill me!" ”

"Besides, I was scared to death by you, thinking you were looking for a short time." Qu Ping said.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was no longer awkward and cold.

Qu Ping said: "It's nothing, just go back?" ”

Tana said aggrievedly: "My foot is broken, how to go!" ”

Tana has a broken foot, what can I do, men and women can't kiss, and she is the emperor's fiancée, so she definitely can't go back with her.

Qu Ping said: "Then you wait here, I'll go back and have someone carry a sedan chair to pick you up." ”

"Okay, it's okay, lie to you. I can walk back myself. Tana said with a disappointed smile.

Qu Ping smiled wryly and asked with an embarrassed but polite smile: "Is it really okay?" Or...... I'll help you take a look? ”

Tana was the first to walk back: "Look, isn't it very good? ”

Qu Ping saw that she was limping slightly, but it shouldn't be a big problem, so he followed her, in case she stumbled again, he could protect her in time.

Tana walked to the knee-high steps at the edge of the forest, turned back and said, "I can't go up." ”

Qu Ping cautiously looked around, and when he saw that there was no one else, he stepped on the stone steps and turned to stretch out a hand to Tana.

Tana snickered and grabbed Qu Ping's big hand, and was pulled up by Qu Ping.

"Thank you." After Tana finished speaking, she was reluctant to let go of Qu Ping's hand.

Qu Ping turned his arm slightly, signaling that she could let go.

Tana let go of her hand and teased, "Is this going to lose its head?" When I was riding a horse in Mobei, I couldn't help them, so did the emperor want to cut off their hands? ”

Qu Ping didn't want to discuss this boring question, and said: "When you enter the palace, you will restrain your words and deeds, that place is no better than Mobei." With that, he took the lead.

Tana grimaced behind him.

During this period of time just now, Tana's heart was filled with satisfaction, she felt that she had an answer, she could wave goodbye to the generous and pure big girl in Mobei, she wanted to be a princess who symbolized the bridge of friendship between Han and Mongolia. She is ready to meet this new identity, for Mobei, for her family, for herself, and for ...... He.

In order not to be wronged by the delicate mother, the team needs to spend the night in the state and county every night. I walked all the way and stopped, and it took almost ten days to get to the capital.

Tana entered the palace, and Zhao Gou liked her very much when he saw her first impression, and he was the younger sister of Kutula, so he named her Concubine Na.

Zhao Gou told Tana that when he entered the palace, he would regard it as his home and go to another place.

After entering the harem, of course, I had to meet Empress Dowager Wei and Empress Wu.

Tana itself has a beauty of the grassland, and her behavior is dignified and to the point, Empress Dowager Wei and Empress Wu also looked at each other and nodded, thinking that this Concubine Na gave people the first feeling that it was okay.

Empress Dowager Wei gave a gift to Concubine Na and told her cordially that if there was anything she didn't understand and wasn't used to in the palace when she first came to the palace, she would tell the queen.

Empress Wu also personally led Concubine Na to the dormitory where Concubine Na lived, and cared for her.

Tana had just entered the palace, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother and the Queen to be so kind to her, and she was very moved.

The emperor also took the time to come to see Concubine Na, but did not ask for a bed.

Every time Zhao Gou visited Concubine Na, he chatted a few words and left.

Tana didn't know whether to be happy or aggrieved, or both.

After staying for a while, when Concubine Na went to the queen to say hello, the queen saw that she was always in a trance, so she asked Concubine Na if she was homesick or her father, and when she missed her father, she could take him into the palace to see herself.

Tana said: "The queen mother, the queen mother and you, and the emperor are good to the concubines. ”

"This entered the palace, although the status is noble, and he does not worry about food and clothing. But being restrained is certain, and there is no better place than being on the prairie, indulging in a galloping horse. Empress Wu was fascinated, and then said, "However, we should think about it this way." The emperor lives in the palace like us, he has to work on state affairs and take care of the harem alone, and our sisters don't have to worry about the country, and we can enjoy the flowers and chat on weekdays. ”

Tana knew in her heart, but was this her ideal life?

The queen also said: "We are the same as the emperor, since we live in this magnificent palace, we have to bear this responsibility, which concerns the people of the world." The responsibility of the emperor is to govern the world well, and the responsibility of the palace is to manage the harem well, and not to cause chaos to the emperor. ”

Tana watched the queen say such a profound truth gently and gently, and her heart shook, as if washed by the clear spring water, there is such a queen to solve the emperor's worries, why is the Great Song Dynasty not peaceful and prosperous?

"Queen Mother, tell your concubines the story of the ten marshals who were crowned princes." Tana said with interest.

Empress Wu said: "This palace has been in the deep palace for a long time, and I never ask about political affairs, and I don't know much about them. Let's start with Qu Ping, the king of Xiang......"

Tana sat upright and listened carefully to Empress Wu's story.

In the blink of an eye, it is almost June, Qu Ping is about to leave for Hangzhou, and then go to sea with Zhao Chengzhang.

Because he was ordered by the emperor to go to sea, there were still many old friends of officials who came to see him off on the day of his departure, including Li Gang, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Wu Lan, Yang Zaixing, Liubu Shangshu, Lu Ji, Qin Hui, etc., and the officials who did not have important affairs basically came.

Everyone said goodbye and asked Qu Ping to pay attention to safety, and pay more attention to protecting his wife and children while promoting the national prestige.

Qu Ping said goodbye to everyone, cherished each other, and asked everyone to forge ahead without forgetting the previous shame, so that the Great Song Dynasty would go higher and further. Qingfeng Literature

Zhao Ping'er cried into tears, Xiao Lu took her in her arms, and she also cried, inseparable.

Qu Ping pulled Zhao Ping'er into his arms and said reluctantly: "Or, you come with us?" ”

Zhao Ping'er thought about it a little more and agreed, and stayed with Qu Ping and Xiao Lu for three nights and three flights.

But she really couldn't convince herself, she left the young Dingbei and went to have a good time, she even scolded Qu Ping dozens of times in her heart, why did she go to sea at this time, so that her relatives were separated.

Qu Yihan walked to Zhao Ping'er's lap, raised his head and said, "Erniang, don't cry, we'll be back soon." ”

Zhao Ping'er burst into tears and smiled, hugged Qu Yihan and said, "Remember to bring a gift to Erniang!" ”

Wang Ma hugged Qu Dingbei, he didn't know what these people around him were doing, his eyes flashed, and he looked at everyone strangely.

Qu Ping went over and kissed Dingbei, turned to everyone and said: "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, and when this king triumphs, let's talk about wine again!" ”

Everyone bowed their hands and greeted: "Lord Wang, take care all the way!" ”

Qu Ping and Xiao Lu hugged Zhao Ping'er again, and finally said goodbye: "Let's go, how precious you are at home, we will miss you." ”

Wu Zhishen saluted with his shoulders back, jumped down from the carriage and said, "Lord Wang, the ship is already waiting at the dock." ”

Because there are also some countries in the South China Sea that believe in Buddhism, Qu Ping deliberately brought Wu Zhishen with him, which can enhance the friendship between countries in many ways from a religious perspective.

Qu Ping finally said goodbye to everyone, took Xiao Lu and Han'er into the carriage, opened the curtains again, and waved goodbye to Zhao Ping'er and others.

The group got on the boat, went to Hangzhou by water, and went to sea from the Qiantang River.

Zhao Chengzhang had been waiting for Qu Ping on the wharf at the mouth of the Qiantang River for a long time, and with him were local officials and more than a dozen envoys of the South China Sea Domain who had asked to borrow the Great Song Treasure Boat to return to China.

Eight treasure ships of the same tonnage on the river are close to the shore from head to tail, each treasure ship is 30 zhang long, 12 zhang wide, 8 zhang high, and 15 sails, the hull is majestic and majestic, and the sails are agitated by the wind hunting, and the magnificence is magnificent.

Each treasure ship was equipped with two cannons at the bow, temporarily covered with tarpaulins, and 2,000 soldiers lined up on the deck of the ship, looking proudly into the distance.

In order to make the best use of these sixteen cannons, Qu Ping specially transferred three hundred and twenty people from the Shenji Battalion, and each twenty people were in charge of one cannon.

Zhao Chengzhang greeted Qu Ping and said happily: "Lord, princess, little county lord, it's hard to travel all the way!" ”

Then he ordered someone to send the items brought by Qu Ping to the ship.

The local officials and the envoys of the vassal kingdoms also did their best to show their presence and respect, and nodded to Qu Ping.

"Chengzhang, I've been waiting for a long time." Qu Ping said, "This time I have to bother you more Jinghaihou." ”

"Lord Wang, you are laughing, without you, Lord Wang, how can I be where I am today!" Zhao Chengzhang said sincerely.

"Yo, where are there so many envoys from all over the world?" Qu Ping looked at the envoys of the vassal kingdom and said.

When the envoy of the vassal kingdom saw Qu Ping talking about himself, he eagerly approached and said something like "Hello to the prince". Their Chinese proficiency is stiff, and with the fact that it's a big chorus, it sounds really weird.

Qu Ping waved his hand to the envoys, and said hello in return.

Zhao Chengzhang smiled: "By the way." In addition, with them, it is convenient to communicate when you get to the place. ”

The envoys of the vassal states hurriedly came up to greet Qu Ping and his wife.

Qu Ping happily looked at the majestic treasure ship on the river, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This momentum, this scene, is too shocking!" The emperor is also generous, I said five, but the emperor gave me eight. ”

If it weren't for Qu Ping convincing the emperor and letting Lu Ji be responsible for supervising the construction of new sea ships, how could there be a situation of dominating the sea today?

"Please." Zhao Chengzhang asked Qu Ping and his party to chat while getting on the boat, "Lord Wang, you are doing great things, of course, Han Xin has more soldiers, the better." ”

"As soon as you talk about Han Xin, why do my eyelids jump a little?" Qu Ping quipped.

Han Xin became famous back then, but he was killed by Xiao He and Empress Lu, which is a pity. Don't go their way.

The prince laughed. The waves at sea are much bigger than the surface of the river, can the princess and the lord withstand it? Zhao Chengzhang said with concern.

Xiao Lu said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, but since I heard the news, I have been practicing on the river boat every day, and I have completely overcome it." Seasickness, most of them are psychological timidity. I have the foundation to control fierce horses, and I can't catch them by boat! ”

"The princess is amazing! The princess still calls me Chengzhang, or anything, don't call Hou Ye anymore, my little heart can't stand it. Zhao Chengzhang said.

Qu Yihan shouted: "I'm not afraid! ”

Everyone laughed and went to the deck as they spoke.

After bidding farewell to the local officials who saw him off on the shore, Zhao Chengzhang asked Qu Ping for instructions, and ordered the soldiers and sailors to take their positions and set off immediately.

A long horn sounded, and the eight ships loosened their anchors and slowly left the harbor, heading for the endless blue sea.

Qu Yihan got on the boat and was very excited, pulling Xiao Lu to run around, and asked Xiao Lu to pick up and look at the sea.

Xiao Lu said: "It's not at sea yet!" ”

Qu Yihan looked at the line between water and sky in the distance and said that it was the sea.

There was a tea table on the deck, Qu Ping and Zhao Chengzhang sat opposite each other, and before they went to sea, they were already drinking tea and enjoying the trip. Wu Zhishen stood behind Qu Ping, habitually fiddling with Buddha beads in his hands.

Qu Ping said: "Among these envoys of the vassal kingdom who took a tailwind boat, is there any special identity? ”
