(Today's fifth watch, third watch)

But it is said that the princess of Qiuzi, Zalinata, walked into the council hall under the reflection of the morning sun, like an angel. When he came to the palace, he knelt down and said: "Courtier, Zalinata, the princess of the Guizi Kingdom, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire!" ”

Although she is not fluent in Chinese, her voice is soft, her voice, her shape, and her pace are like a peerless beauty. Before she lifted the veil, Liu Xie thought about it in her heart.

Liu Xie said: "No courtesy, give a seat!" ”

Zalinata sat down, and saw her veiled and her eyes full of affection.

Liu Xie said: "Are you Princess Qiuci?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly."

Liu Xie asked again: "Can you take off your veil?" ”

Zarinata gently removed her veil, and her beauty immediately amazed the entire court. Liu Xie was stunned, this is too beautiful, right? Liu Xie, who is accustomed to seeing the beauties of the Central Plains, saw the beauties of the Western Regions for the first time and admired them.

Unexpectedly, the beauty of the Western Regions just glanced at Liu Xie, then lowered her head and didn't look at her again, from her eyes, Liu Xie could feel a trace of contempt, and said in his heart: This beauty of the Western Regions didn't take a fancy to us.

Before this, as long as it was a woman that Liu Xie liked, no one looked down on her, even the world's first beauty, the world's first talented woman, and the world's first martial artist.

And this first beauty of the Western Regions of the Eastern Han Dynasty actually looked down on him, and was still very contemptuous of him, Liu Xie felt a sense of frustration, but he was unwilling.

Liu Xie asked, "Princess Zalinata, do you know the purpose of your trip?" ”

Zalinata stood up and curtsy and said, "The courtiers know that the courtiers are offering to Your Majesty as a tribute to my turtles. ”

"You also know that my Han will be free to marry, and you also saw me today, what do you think of me?"

Zalinata said: "Your Majesty is young and promising, with martial arts and martial arts, and a dignified appearance. ”

"So many compliments, so it means that you are already very admired?"

Zalinata said: "The courtiers dare not deceive Your Majesty, no. ”

"You don't like me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the courtiers don't like Your Majesty." Zalinata replied very simply.

Liu Xie was very embarrassed, this was the first time he was rejected, and he couldn't help but say a little angrily: "Since you don't like it, why do you want to go to Beijing with the envoys?" ”

"Father's order is hard to disobey."

"Haha, what a father's fate! How daring! ”

Zalinata immediately knelt down and said, "The courtier is guilty, please surrender your majesty!" ”

Liu Xie said: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

"I'm afraid."

"You're pretty straightforward," Liu Xie said, "Then I will fulfill you, come here, drag it out and behead it!" ”

Everyone was surprised, Nansheng Mi was sent by an ugly monster pretending to be a beauty, and the emperor was not angry, why would he be so angry for a woman from the Western Regions?

Immediately, a samurai came up, Zalinata was unmoved, and Afeiguli immediately estimated and said: "Please be merciful to Your Majesty, the princess is not sensible, then you can spare her!" Wechen is willing to die for her! Your Majesty, kill me. ”

The two warriors stood behind him and did not move for a while, and Zarinata said: "Afei Guli, it has nothing to do with you at this time, I don't need you to intercede for me, death is death, what is there to fear?" ”

Liu Xie smiled: "What a beauty from the Western Regions who is not afraid of death, I like it!" But I also said just now, the Han is highly free, if you don't want to enter the palace as a concubine, you can refuse now, I will spare you from death, Afei Guli, you can take your princess back. ”

Ah Fei Guli kowtowed excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Zalinata suddenly said: "Afei Guli, don't kowtow, I won't go back with you!" ”

Ah Fei Guli was stunned, and looked at the princess in a daze, at a loss.

Zalinata also said, "I am the princess of the kingdom of Qiuzi, and my father Khan has betrothed me to His Majesty, how can I repent? Where is the face of my turtle country? ”

Liu Xie asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Zalinata said: "My father Khan has dedicated me to His Majesty to make a decision, which cannot be changed!" So now the courtiers are His Majesty's people. ”

Liu Xie said: "Princess, you are a very knowledgeable person. But aren't you afraid that I don't want you? ”

"Of course I'm afraid, but that's Your Majesty's business, and the courtiers can't interfere."

Ah Fei Guli hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you can't do this, can you go back with me?" I beg you! ”

Liu Xie also said: "You really don't plan to go back with him? ”

Zalinata said, "I have made up my mind, and there is no need to ask again, unless Your Majesty does not want me." ”

Liu Xie looked at Zalinata, and then at Afeiguli, and saw that Afeiguli was looking at him with an expectant look, so he said, "Since this is the case, then I will fulfill your ......."

Liu Xie paused and said, "It's just to take you as a concubine!" I'm going to pamper you tonight. ”

Zalinata knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, concubine." ”

Even the title has become a courtier, and it seems that this Zalinata is determined to stay in the Han.

Ah Fei Guli knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you can't do this!" ”

Liu Xie asked rhetorically: "What can't you do?" ”

Ah Fei Guli said: "I and the princess are childhood sweethearts, I am her intended person, you can't break up our foreheads!" ”

Before Liu Xie could speak, Zalinata shouted: "Ah Fei Guli, please shut up, don't talk nonsense, tarnish my reputation, how can my Princess Qiuzi have a relationship with one of your palace guards?" Not to mention what childhood sweethearts are talking about? You are in the Han court, if you are in my Qiuzi country, I will implore my father Khan to kill you immediately! ”

"Princess......" Afeiguli cried.

Liu Xie said: "Ah Fei Guli, you also saw it, right? For the sake of thou art an envoy, I will not hold thee accountable. Don't you know that as an envoy of a country, you should give priority to state affairs, and which is more important? ”

Afiguli stopped crying and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. ”

Liu Xie said: "This time, Qiuci paid so many tributes, and also gave the king's most beloved daughter to me, which shows how loyal Qiuci is to my big man, and I can't let you attack so many things in vain." Little Luozi ......"

"The minions are here."

"I will draw up a list of the rewards I have given to Qiuzi: 20,000 catties of white paper, 20,000 catties of toilet paper, 1,000 sets of fashion, 1,000 sets of cotton clothes, cotton pants and cotton shoes, 100 pairs of telescopes, 100 pairs of compasses, 1,000 waterproof raincoats, 1,000 pairs of long water rain boots, 1,000 sets of single pajamas, 1,000 sets of cotton pajamas, 1,000 round mirrors, 10,000 catties of Jiangnan rice, 1,000 catties of various pastries, salt, vinegar, soy sauce and other seasonings......

Liu Xie said a lot, and then said: "In the bitter cold land of the Western Regions, these things are scarce, in short, you Zhang Luo will purchase them according to the cost of 100,000 taels of silver, and then reward them to the Guizi Kingdom." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Most of these materials are specialties of the Eastern Han Dynasty and are not available in the surrounding small countries. Afiguli suppressed the grief caused by the loss of the princess and kowtowed to thanksgiving.

Liu Xie looked at the rice again, and said: "The so-called equivalent exchange, Qiuzi has paid tribute to so many treasures, I naturally have to give him more things, and you ...... Tsk tsk. ”
