Chapter 30: The Liao Envoy

The bustle of Bianjing City, when the team of Haotang people entered Beijing, the streets and two cities were crowded with people, looking at the people from the vast grassland in the north, where the men were strong, and the daughters there were also hearty, they could be like their fathers and brothers, riding high-headed horses and walking in the market, accepting the gaze of all eyes, not ashamed, not evading, and being generous.

Today, the treasure horse is dressed in red, the tall silver mirror princess Yelu Nanyin, wearing a sheep felt dress embroidered with clouds, stepping on red phoenix boots, combing a hundred treasure buns, and pinning a meniscus knife around her waist.

She is a person who is used to being free, if she can choose, she must rather guard that grassland, and never want to see the so-called prosperity of Bianjing in her life, but she has no choice!

A few months ago, in the main hall of the Liao King's Palace, a long-planned drama was brought to the stage.

Queen Xiao, named Yanyan, is a single word.

It's not a person like his name, Xiao Xuan is by no means a "Yingying Yanyan", that is a strange woman who is as strategic and courageous as a man, and the queen mother of Yelu Nanyin.

"It is imperative to be close to Song, and if the Lord can't come up with a convincing statement, there is no need to bother to speak." An undoubted sentence made the atmosphere of the entire inner palace cold to the freezing point, Xiao Xuan's face sank like water, his eyes stared at a knot, and his lips were tightly closed.

Han Chang, the next colt dressed in ink, and Yelu Longxu, the crown prince, both lowered their heads and did not dare to answer, even if it was the Liao Emperor Yeluxian on his side, he had been brewing for a long time before answering. "Nanyin is a lonely daughter, and now I am a strong soldier and a strong horse, so how can I make peace with his Song family."

"Of course we are not afraid of soldiers, how to reduce the damaged troops is the top priority, throughout the Song Dynasty, the Fu family in the clouds, the Bianjing Gao family, and the Yang family, a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, which is not a strong enemy, in the last battle, we lost 20,000 elite soldiers, the king, so hurting the enemy a thousand and losing eight hundred, it is true and not obvious, I hope you think twice." Xiao Xuan said, and turned sideways slightly to make a half-salute to Yeluxian.

Ye Luxian was a little angry, and didn't want to argue with Xiao Xuan too much, so he only shouted under the corridor, "Han Chang, you say." ”

Hearing this, Han Chang raised his head suddenly, and a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle appeared on his angular face, lined with two thin lips, and said softly, "According to the opinion of the son, it is feasible to make peace with relatives." ”

"Bastard!" Ye Luxian burst out of anger, and in front of the stairs with a pottery bowl rolling down, he scolded angrily, "Even you hurt my Nan'er, she is Dongyin's half-sister." ”

"The lord said this very strangely, don't you think that the concubine is jealous and can't tolerate Nan'er?" Xiao Xuan raised his eyes to look at Ye Luxian's back, and there was some questioning in his tone.

Yeluxian steadied his heart, then sat back, and casually replied, "Gu didn't say that." ”

Seeing this, Han Chang was not in a hurry, bent his arms and finished saluting, and said softly, "The father is angry, the queen mother is not in a hurry, and Rong Erchen said, now my Daliao is indeed getting stronger and stronger, but the Song family is also in the middle of the day, the sons have been fighting since childhood, and there has never been such a hard time in recent years, a princess, can be exchanged for several years of peace, this plan is the best policy! Why don't you know that your father loves Princess Yinjing, and Dongyin doesn't care about sisterhood, but now, there is no more suitable person than Yinjing, and you can't let the two sisters of Tiejing Yujing go to Bianjing Imperial City! ”

"You" Ye Luxian was dumbfounded for a while, only brushed his sleeves, sat on his side, and Han Chang exchanged glances with Xiao Sui on the side, and then persuaded, "Father and king love their daughter, and they are reluctant, but all the princes of the Song family are people who know etiquette, and they may not be a good match."

"Hmph, good match", Ye Luxian sneered, pointed at Han Chang and said, "You, you have planned it a long time ago." ”

"Please be sympathetic to your son's loyalty to Da Liao, and allow the princess to go to Bianjing and make peace." Han Chang bowed down and said extremely respectfully.

In the end, Yelu Longxu still made a compromise, and Yelu Nanyin, who learned the inside story, rode a fierce horse on the grassland for a day and a night, returned to the inner palace, did not make any noise, calmly took the wedding dress, and accepted this fact.

Bianjing City is prosperous, Yelu Nanyin is in it, and probably understands why the warriors of the Liao Kingdom would rather fight for the lives of several generations to provoke wars, enter the Central Plains, and who doesn't want to get the rich land.

Yelu Nanzhu thought in his heart, and suddenly remembered the question of the crown prince Yelu Longxu, "Second sister, how is this Bianjing?" ”

"It's beautiful, more beautiful than on the prairie." Yelu Nanzhu responded indifferently, there was no worry or joy in his tone, Han Chang turned sideways slightly, turned around to look at her face that was almost calm to cold, and persuaded, "I'm going to enter the palace city soon, your sister has repeatedly told me to let you choose a husband who is satisfactory, and you don't have a cold face." ”

"What's the matter if you say you're not satisfied, brother-in-law don't worry, since I agreed, I will never lose the face of Liao." Yelu Nanzhu put on a smiling face and replied nonchalantly.

Han Chang looked at her like this, his heart was slightly unhappy, he looked her up and down again, and turned his body to drive the horse forward.

Outside the palace city has already been full of people to greet them, looking from afar, the majesty of the clusters, Han Chang and the others dismounted, Wei Wang Yuanzuo bowed his hand from afar, and said in his mouth, "You have worked hard all the way, and this king has come to greet the envoy for his father." ”

"His Royal Highness Lao is here." Han Chang stepped forward and greeted with a smile, then turned around and pointed to Yelu Longxu and introduced, "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of my Liao Kingdom." ”

Yelu Longxu bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Wei is polite." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite," King Wei returned the courtesy, "This is not a place to speak, my father and the emperor have prepared a banquet, please do it." ”

"Please" Yelu Longxu followed Zhao Yuanzuo and others in, Han Chang took a step behind, and whispered to Yelu Nanyin, "This is Weiwang Yuanzuo, the most proud prince of the Zhao official family, the one on his right who is wearing red clothes is Chen Wang Yuanxi, who is a first-class talent, and he is also a thoughtful person, and then look at the one wearing ink-colored clothes on the left is Han Wang Yuankan, who is quite a good person, good at charm, the one who wears the splendid relief pattern is the king of Chu Defang, the son of the first Taizu, known as the virtuous king, these are all powerful clans, my sister should pay more attention to these people." ”

Yelu Nanzhu raised his eyes to meet Han Chang's expression, and did not follow his words, but said sarcastically, "Brother-in-law is really smart, but he has made a clear understanding of the Great Song clan in January. ”

Han Chang smiled coldly, turned back to his body and said, "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is common in the military." ”

Zhao Yuanxi, who was walking in front, also noticed that Yelu Nanzhu, moved to Zhao Yuankan's side, and laughed in a low voice, "Seventh brother, look at that princess, Her Royal Highness, born to be Peugeot, unlike my Kyoto woman, the seventh brother can be happy." ”

"Brother Wuwang laughed." Zhao Yuankan glanced at Yelu Nanzhu slightly sideways, and then said, "There are a group of concubines in my house, and I am really not blessed to accept the princess of Liao, besides, you and my brother have the five royal brothers with outstanding demeanor, and the princess of Liaoguo will definitely show mercy to you, brother Wang." ”

"Haha" Zhao Yuanxi suppressed his voice and laughed twice, then crossed Zhao Yuankan and asked Zhao Defang, "Brother Eight Wang, what about you!" ”

"I'm not interested in my brother." Zhao Defang responded casually and walked up the steps, Zhao Yuanxi smiled, and couldn't help but turn around and look at Yelu Nanyin again

……

"Today, the Liao envoy will enter Beijing, and the palace will be busy, so you can hide in your aunt's place and enjoy yourself." Zhao Yuanwei walked into the inner palace, took off his coat, and sat beside Chai Xiyun and talked. ”

"You're coming fast." Chai Xiyun put away the endgame on the table and said, "I can see my aunt." ”

"Auntie worship Buddha, I don't dare to disturb it, I'll see you later. The state banquet is a big gift, my father and the emperor issued an edict, and even several imperial sisters have recalled the imperial capital, Ming'er is absolutely lively, you really don't go. ”

Chai Xiyun smiled and responded, "My aunt personally sent someone to tell Uncle Huang yesterday that I am not good at it, and it is not suitable to see people." ”

Zhao Yuanwei gave a reproachful look and said, "Count your cleverness." Chai Xiyun smiled lightly and handed the teacup to Zhao Yuanwei, and Zhao Yuanwei then said, "I'll tell you a happy thing, Sister Xu Guo has a body." ”

"Oh~" Chai Xiyun was slightly happy, and then said, "A few days ago, Fuping also told me that he received a letter from Sister Xu Guo, saying that he was going to play and leave, what, Uncle Huang reprimanded Shi Juma, and that's fine." ”

"Life has to go on, and it's good that Sister Xu Guo can think about it."

"If Empress Xiaoming has a spirit in the sky, she will also rejoice for her sister."

"Yes! My sister has been married for more than ten years, but she can be regarded as having a son, and her father took pity on her, so he only let her have a good birth in the house, and let the concubine attend on her behalf. ”

"It's a great event."

Zhao Yuanwei smiled when she heard this, but she couldn't help sighing, "Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, this is a joy, and worries are also in front of you, this time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the Liao Kingdom to ask for relatives in person, I don't know whose drudgery fell on, you call it sick, but it is also a wise move." ”

"Everyone's luck can't be changed" Chai Xiyun sighed, and then said, "By the way, you help me pay attention before the banquet tomorrow, who is in the limelight?" ”

"Be in the limelight" Zhao Yuanwei laughed sarcastically, "What, you can't be stupid, this is a state banquet, what is there to be showy." ”

"You and I understand this truth, but some people may not understand." Chai Xiyun replied quietly, and when Zhao Yuanwei saw her like this, she also responded, and said, "You don't have anything else to ask me." ”

"If my sister can't help it, she'll tell me." Chai Xiyun shook his fan and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I'm not as calm as you are." Zhao Yuanwei waved her hand, took out a paper ball from her sleeve, handed it to Chai Xiyun, and said, "Someone asked me to hand it over." ”

Chai Xiyun took it with a smile, only to see Lang Lang small characters on it: three o'clock, by the Yuhe Bridge.
