"Tianzhu?" Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, His Royal Highness is not blessed!" ”

Thinking of the scene when the princesses of Tianzhu entered the palace that day, Zhao Xu still has palpitations.

It is said that when the princesses of the vassal states entered the palace to meet the noble concubine that day, the noble concubine specially stayed for lunch.

I never thought that these princesses of Tianzhu State would catch them directly with their hands during this meal, but they caused a lot of jokes.

Those in the know naturally know that the tradition of Tianzhu is to directly use their hands to grab rice, but there are not many people who know the customs of Tianzhu.

At that time, the people who participated in the banquet, in addition to the noble concubine, had already known in advance, and the five Central Asian countries that were closer to Tianzhu also knew.

As for other princesses such as Goryeo and Fuso, they are completely unaware of this.

It is said that on the spot, the princesses of Goryeo and Fusang could not hold back and almost burst out laughing.

And the women from the Warat, Jurchen, and Duoyan tribes even pointed to the princess of the Tianzhu State, smiling unscrupulously.

But fortunately, there was a noble concubine who scolded him on the spot, which avoided a more ridiculous situation.

However, since then, I heard that these princesses from several states of Tianzhu have never stepped out of the guest house.

Seeing Zhou Ping say this at this time, the face of the third prince Zhao Xu almost did not darken.

But fortunately, at this time, the second prince Zhao Han spoke in time, which avoided the stalemate of the situation.

I saw Zhao Han say: "Thank you Lord Zhou for your kindness, but today my third brother and I want to meet this little princess of the Tokugawa family, and ask Director Zhou to make it convenient." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Han saluted Zhou Ping with a fist.

How dare Zhou Ping bear it? hurriedly dodged and snatched it away, and said in embarrassment: "It's not that Wechen didn't let the two highnesses go down to see this little princess of the Tokugawa family, really, if Your Majesty knows about this, Wechen's head is afraid that he will have to move." ”

"With me and the second emperor brother in front, what do you have to worry about?" Zhao Xu, the third prince, said, "You just have to put a hundred hearts, if your father asks the emperor when the time comes, the second emperor brother and I will definitely come forward to resolve it, and we will definitely not let you be wronged by Lord Zhou." ”

"This ......" Zhou Ping hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Those two highnesses, please go and come back quickly." ”

Zhou Ping also has no choice, the two princes have already said this, if he still refuses, I am afraid that he will really annoy these two highnesses.

When the time comes, do you want your own life?

Zhou Ping is just the head of the Ministry of Rites, and he has no backers behind him, and the two princes Zhao Xu and Zhao Han are the two most popular princes, if they are offended, what is the difference between them and seeking death?

Therefore, after weighing it repeatedly, Zhou Ping still nodded and agreed to let the two highnesses go to see the little princess of the Tokugawa family.

"Who are you?" In the courtyard of Tokugawa Hideko, the little princess of the Tokugawa family, she heard a knock on the door, and a little maid opened the courtyard door and looked at Zhao Han and Zhao Xu with vigilance.

"These two are His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince of my Great Zhou, if you want to go in to see Miss Tokugawa, please let me know." Zhou Ping came out and said.

"Please wait, two highnesses!" As soon as the little maid heard that the person was the prince of the Great Zhou, she didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly spoke, turned around and trotted in.

"The villain Tokugawa Akiyoshi has seen two highnesses!" After a while, I saw a middle-aged man with a relatively low figure beard walking out.

"Tokugawa Akiyoshi?" Hearing this name, the second prince Zhao Han couldn't help but be stunned, "If His Royal Highness is not mistaken, Your Excellency should be the son of the Tokugawa family!" ”

"It's the villain!" Tokugawa Akiyoshi bowed in response.

"Why did you come to Da Zhou?" Zhao Han asked with some confusion.

"The villain came to Da Zhou, firstly, to send his little sister to the palace for the draft, and secondly, because he admired the culture of the Celestial Empire and wanted to stay and study for a while." Tokugawa Akiyoshi replied.

"Studying?" Zhao Han smiled lightly and asked, "Have you ever reported to the National Prison?" ”

"Due to the rush of the trip, I haven't had time to report yet!" Tokugawa Akiyoshi replied.

"That's okay, when you're free in two days, His Highness will lead you to report to the Guozijian!" Zhao Han nodded and said.

"It's a trivial matter, don't dare to bother His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" Tokugawa Akiyoshi replied.

"What's bothering and not bothering?" Zhao Han waved his hand and said, "His Royal Highness just feels that staying in the palace is a little boring, and wants to go out of the palace to make a few friends, that's it." ”

"It is the honor of the villain to be a friend of His Highness."

Seeing the greetings between the second brother Zhao Han and this Tokugawa Akiyoshi, the third prince Zhao Xu on the side was a little impatient, and said directly: "I heard that Miss Xiuzi is as beautiful as a flower, I wonder if the second brother and I can witness it with our own eyes?" ”

"This ......" Hearing this, Tokugawa Akiyoshi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the second prince Zhao Han in confusion, "I'm afraid this is a little unruly!" ”

"Forget it, let's tell you clearly!" Zhao Han said directly.

Immediately, Zhao Han motioned to all the subordinates on the side to disperse, and said directly to Tokugawa Akiyoshi: "As the son of the Tokugawa family, you are not an outsider, Your Highness will tell you the truth directly!" ”

Next, Zhao Han informed Tokugawa Akiyoshi of the purpose and whereabouts of the Fuso thieves one by one, and Tokugawa Akiyoshi was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

After a long time, Tokugawa Akiyoshi spoke: "So, the two highnesses are suspicious that there are thieves in the villain's mission?" ”

"Not bad!" Zhao Han nodded and said, "As the son of the Tokugawa family, I know better than you and I know what kind of trouble you will encounter if you let that gang of thieves succeed!" ”

"But those thieves have nothing to do with our Tokugawa family!" Tokugawa Akiyoshi argued with a wry smile.

"It doesn't matter if it has anything to do with it, the important thing is that that the gang of thieves is from your Fusang, and they are also members of your Fusang royal family.

It is said that the Fusang royal family has been wiped out for more than ten years, why do their remnants still exist? How did they get to Da Zhou?

I think you Tokugawa family should give an explanation to the imperial court! Zhao Han said with a chuckle.

"Yes...... Can ......"

"No, but!" Zhao Han interrupted, "Now that the embassies of various countries in Luoyang City are gathered, if there is really any big chaos, my father is angry, and I am afraid that your Tokugawa family will bear the brunt."

So just in case, you, the son of the Tokugawa family, must fully cooperate with me and my third brother in the investigation, understand?"

"The two highnesses rest assured, the villain will fully cooperate with the investigation!"

"That's good!" Seeing that Tokugawa Akiyoshi was interested, Zhao Han nodded with satisfaction, and then gave Zhao Xu a look.

Zhao Xu understood and shouted to Tokugawa Akiyoshi: "Then why are you still stunned?" Why don't you hurry up and gather all the people in the courtyard to accept the investigation of me and my second brother? ”

"The villain is going! The villain is going! Tokugawa Akiyoshi answered, hurriedly turned around and called someone to go......
