Chapter 82: The Envoy of Lan Country Arrives
A month later, as Li Yiqian's birthday approached, the envoys of Lan and Ying were getting closer and closer to Huajing, and this prosperous ancient city was completely lively.
Yes, both the Lan Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom sent envoys to come, ostensibly to celebrate Li Yiqian's twenty-fifth birthday, but secretly they both had their own little calculations. What makes people feel strange is that the leaders of the envoy delegations of the two countries this time are a bit special, and under normal circumstances, they will never visit other countries, especially when the situation between countries is unclear.
The documents of national diplomacy handed over by the two countries before their departure stated that the Lan Kingdom sent their imperial brother Gongsun Ce, and the Eagle Kingdom sent the crown prince Nalan Song. Such a diplomatic lineup is usually sent when a major event occurs on the other side, and this time it is just to celebrate the birthday, which is inevitably a little too grand, which makes many courtiers in China have some ideas in their hearts.
You know, these people are usually difficult to see, but this time they came to Huajing together, if they take the opportunity to do something, maybe it will be a big help in the future.
But there are also some people who feel full of pressure for their arrival, the most obvious of which is Yong'an Hou Sun Ze. He is in charge of Huajing's security and security, and now that two big people are coming, he must be more careful. Not to mention that if something happens to Huajing during this period, it will make Huaguo lose face, and more importantly, if the two of them have a little problem in Huajing, I am afraid he will have to die to apologize.
In fact, Sun Ze was not such a negative person, but the incident of Qian Taifu's Mansion last time really shocked him, someone blatantly committed murder in Huajing and killed so many people. Although according to the final conclusion of the case, the murderer should be Mrs. Qian, but he still left a shadow in his heart.
In order to ensure that the security work in Huajing during the emperor's birthday did not go wrong, he was so worried that his hair turned white.
No matter what the people of Hua Guo thought about their brought, the envoys of Lan and Eagle still arrived as scheduled. The officials of the Ministry of Rites had already arranged for the envoys of the two countries to live, and the residences of the people of the two countries were not far away. Because the two countries are the future heirs, Sun Ze also specially sent a team of people to ensure their safety, so as not to explain anything in the future.
On the day that the Languo envoy group entered Beijing, there were many people on the streets, and the people of Huajing were still very curious about Languo, a country that was rumored to be prevalent in Gu poison techniques. Although the differences in appearance between the people of Lan and Hua are not very large, the customs and habits of the two countries are very different.
Because of the difference between men and women's congenital physical factors, the men of Huaguo despise women a lot more. In China, except for the face and hands, women's bodies can only be seen by their husbands, so they are tightly wrapped in clothes all year round. Moreover, although it is said that it is heavy on martial arts, the Chinese people still prefer an elegant style in terms of food and life.
Now that they see so many people from foreign lands, they are naturally full of curiosity. In particular, the women of Lan Country wear exotic clothes that are completely different from those of the Chinese, and they are different from the conservative and elegant women of their country, and their clothes tend to be charming. The face is also covered with a veil, which adds a bit of mysterious beauty.
What's even more intriguing is that Arashikoku has a very gorgeous frame in his team. What makes it unusual is that the frame is hollowed out on all sides, just covered with light gauze. A gust of wind blows, the veil flutters with the wind, and you can vaguely see a graceful body sitting on one side, followed by a pungent fragrance, when people's hearts ripple.
The crowd of onlookers on the street was huge, but it didn't affect their speed in the slightest. This is enough to see that Sun Ze's ability to do things is still very high. Where there are people, there will be gossip, no, some people actively share their gossip with the people around them.
"I heard that Languo is going to come with us this time, I don't know who has such a great fortune to marry this Languo woman home." A scholar dressed in a slightly sour voice sighed to the people around him.
"Do you need to ask? It must be ......," the man in front of him said, gesturing upward.
"The emperor is really a blessing, this woman from the Lan Kingdom is ecstatic at first glance, and it must be good in bed." A fat man said in a very uncomfortable tone, and squinted his already small eyes, which looked even more obscene.
The person next to him looked at him in surprise and walked to the side without a trace. If his remarks were heard by the people of Lan Kingdom, they would definitely not end well, so they had better stay away so as not to be implicated in the future.
However, it is obvious that they are too careful, although there are many people in the envoy group of Lan Kingdom, and there are many masters, but they are not enough to worry about this tongue with a small ordinary person, and they have no loss of identity.
Just when the envoy of Languo entered Beijing in the face of everyone's curious eyes, Li Yiqian was playing the piano with Lin Yaxin in Yuquan Palace. Originally, such a lively scene, Lin Yaxin wanted Li Yiqian to take her out of the palace to have a look, but Li Yiqian, who had always been good at talking to her, refused to agree, obviously because of the pregnancy Gu thing.
Under his coquettishness, Li Yiqian promised to wait for the envoy of the Eagle Country to come in two days before taking her out. In order to make her happier, Li Yiqian also worked hard, using the piano that he was not good at to coax her to be happy. As for whether it sounds good or not, it doesn't matter anymore, what matters is the affection between the eyebrows of the two.
Mama Lu and the others were also very interested in not disturbing the couple, and they were doing their own things on the side.
It's just that there are many people in the palace who understand, but there is never a shortage of people who can't see the situation clearly. Isn't that the right thing to come by? Listening to the sound of the piano coming from the palace in front of him, a trace of mockery flashed in the eyes of Lan Yu, who was standing at the door, it seemed that Xin Zhaoyi's piano was not playing very well. Touching the hair ornament on his head, Lan Yu walked in with a smile.
Before she could say anything, she saw Li Yiqian and Lin Yaxin sitting opposite each other under the tree in the yard to enjoy the shade. There was also a piano in front of Li Yiqian, and it was obvious that it was Li Yiqian who played the piano just now, not Lin Yaxin. Lan Yu went crazy with jealousy for this discovery of herself. I have never heard of the emperor touching the qin for any concubine, they have always tried their best to please the emperor and attract his attention, but now he plays the piano for Xin Zhaoyi.
In addition to jealousy, Lan Yu also had a trace of doubt in his heart. She remembered that the emperor had told her that she was just playing tricks on Xin Zhaoyi, in order to let her be a shield for herself, but just looking at today's scene, it was obvious that the emperor was willing to stroke the piano for her. She must be seducing the emperor! Lan Yu refused to accept other answers in his heart, so he was even more dissatisfied with Lin Yaxin.
Not wanting to see them look like a good couple again, Lan Yu interrupted the atmosphere between them with his words. "The concubine has seen the emperor and Xin Zhaoyi."
Li Yiqian was playing the "Flowing with the Wind" piano song that Lin Yaxin performed last time, but he didn't expect it to be destroyed, Li Yiqian frowned a little displeased, looked at Lan Yu who was speaking, and soon, this dislike was covered up by him.
"Pingshen, why is the concubine here?" Li Yiqian asked her with a smile, as if it was not himself who was disturbed.
"The concubine is bored today, so I want to come to talk to Xin Zhaoyi, and by the way, I invite Sister Zhaoyi to taste the concubine's new dim sum."
"Sister Blue is really a rarity. The slaves in this palace are really ignorant, and no one reported my sister when she came. Seeing that he was being ignored, Lin Yaxin said with a smile. Although it was to accuse the palace people of being ignorant, it was secretly said that Lan Yu came to the palace of a high-ranking concubine, and he came in without waiting for the announcement, and there was a violation.
"The concubine just heard that her sister was playing the piano in the palace, and she didn't let them report it for fear of destroying her sister's Yaxing, so don't let them know, sister, don't be angry." As he spoke, Lan Yu glanced at Li Yiqian "aggrieved" and lowered his head.
"Okay, Xin Zhaoyi, Lan Meiren is also thinking about you, don't be so stingy." lived up to Lan Yu's expectations, Li Yiqian spoke out to relieve her, and also "accused" Lin Yaxin of being stingy.
"The concubine is not feeling well, so she went in first." Although Lin Yaxin knew that Li Yiqian was acting, the good atmosphere was ruined by her husband's woman, and she still felt very uncomfortable.
After speaking, Lin Yaxin didn't save face for Li Yiqian, and went in directly. didn't even look at Lan Yu.
After she left, Lan Yu was proud in her heart. Xin Zhaoyi is so rude in front of the emperor, the emperor will definitely not be happy. Thinking of this, she said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean to disturb you and her sister, it was really a coincidence." My sister was angry, if the emperor didn't go in and coax, the concubine left first and came back another day. ”
Lan Yu said that he was leaving, but his eyes stared at Li Yiqian without blinking, and there was no tendency for his feet to move.
"Don't worry about her, you'll know what to do in a few cold days. Didn't Concubine Ai say that she made snacks? Since Xin Zhaoyi doesn't want to eat it, then I'll accompany you back to taste it. With that, Li Yiqian took Lan Yu's hand and walked out.
"The emperor treats her sister like this, she will hate the concubine." Although Lan Yu was happy in her heart, she never forgot to give Lin Yaxin eye medicine.
"She doesn't dare, as a concubine, how can she hide her jealousy?" Li Yiqian's tone was a little cold.
"What the emperor said is that the concubine will rest assured." Lan Yu said coquettishly. It's just that there is a trace of sadness in her heart, although Li Yiqian's words are Xin Zhaoyi, but why didn't he say it to himself? But how easy is it to be so not jealous?
After they left, the main hall of Yuquan Palace. Lin Yaxin sat on the main seat alone, and her face was a little not good-looking. Knowing what was happening in the courtyard, Zixing walked in softly, still holding a cup of fruit tea to relieve the heat in his hand.
