Sensing Tuoba Shen's gaze, Zheng Niangzi looked over, and just glanced at Tuoba Shen and lowered her head slightly.

Tuoba Shen was also a little embarrassed, and quickly looked away.

I didn't see Zheng Xi, Zheng Yi and these people, but there was a middle-aged man who was somewhat similar to Zheng Yi standing in front of Zheng Niangzi, who seemed to be Zheng Niangzi's elder. There are still a few remaining bureaucrats who may have served as vassals of the King of the North Sea.

Beihai Wang Xiang took a few steps forward, took the lead and knelt down and saluted: "Doctor Guanglu, in the service, Beihai Wang Chenxiang please Your Majesty." ”

"I'm going to bow down." Tuoba replied with a serious expression.

Motioned to the master of ceremonies on the side to help the King of the North Sea. The King of Beihai said "Long live" again, and then stood up with Princess Zheng and the others. Make a way and wait for Tuoba Shen to enter.

Tuoba Shen got out of the car, took a look at the King of Beihai and the others, and was about to enter the palace first. I saw that the general of Yulin Zhonglang, who had just guarded himself, leaned over and saluted: "Your Highness, please wait for the lower officials to take the soldiers in to clear the ring first, and then Your Highness will go in." ”

Tuoba knew that this was a protective measure to protect the emperor, and no matter where he went, he had to be on guard. But he is not the emperor, and there will be no danger in the Beihai Palace, so he doesn't have to really go to the precepts, otherwise in the eyes of outsiders, watching his nephew enter his uncle's house, he will have to be guarded, and he may not be able to say what gossip.

"The king of the North Sea is a national proarity, so there is no need to be vigilant."

。。。。。。。

Tuoba Shen entered the main hall of the palace, the king of Beihai and the princess and others followed, after entering the main hall, Tuoba Shen stood on the steps of the main hall, the king of Beihai and the princess bowed again, this time Zheng Niangzi and others did not have to worship, just outside the royal ceremony, everyone present had to worship, now into the main hall, the family ceremony, Zheng Niangzi as an outsider, do not need to follow the salute.

"King of the North Sea, get up!"

Waiting for the master of ceremonies to help the king of Beihai, Tuoba Shen walked down the steps of the palace, bowed to his head, bowed and said, "My nephew Shen has seen my uncle." He said to Princess Zheng: "My nephew has seen my uncle." ”

The King of Beihai took Tuoba Shen's hand and said, "It is rare for a virtuous nephew to come to the uncle's house once a year, and today I will do my best for my uncle." After speaking, he introduced some of his vassals to Tuoba Shen.

It turned out that among these people were both the subordinates of the King of the North Sea, as well as some guests. The subordinates are the kings' family orders, family captains, royal friends, squires, and books.

Three of them caught his attention.

A Zhengping person named Pei Yue, it is estimated that he is a member of the Wenxi Pei clan, and he is one of the friends of the king of Beihai.

A native of Jinyang, Taiyuan, named Wang Daoqian. One of today's guests.

There is another one, who turned out to be ---- Li Daoyuan, who was also famous in later generations.

Tuoba Shen looked at the young man in front of him, about one meter eight tall, with a slightly dark complexion, and a mediocre appearance, but he didn't expect him to be Li Daoyuan.

Although Tuoba Shen had not read "Water Scripture Note" in his previous life, he had an impression of Li Daoyuan, and he was a celebrity who could be selected in the history textbooks of later generations! It's not simple.

"Is Li Jun also Uncle Wang's subordinate?" Tuoba Shen was stunned when he heard Li Daoyuan's name, and he didn't listen carefully to the words of the King of the North Sea, so he came back to his senses and asked.

"No, Li Qing and the prince are friends, and now the host and guest Cao serves as Cao Lang. I am a frequent visitor to my home, and I am quite famous in Beijing. The King of the North Sea was stunned for a moment and replied. Just now he introduced a few subordinates, and the two emperors and nephews all nodded and smiled, and did not take the initiative to ask. However, this host and guest Cao, who is also a frequent visitor to the palace, made the emperor's nephew look at him differently.

Everyone noticed this, and it was very strange that although this Li Daoyuan was quite famous, it had not yet reached the level of being famous in the palace! How can the prince in the deep palace seem to know his reputation?

。。。。。。。

Mrs. Zheng stood behind Princess Zheng, watching Tuoba Shen laugh and talk with everyone present, as if she coincided with the gentleness and frugality when she first saw her that day, which was very different from the common family Langjun, and looked at Tuoba Shen in a daze for a while.

Princess Zheng saw that her husband was introducing the courtiers and guests to the second emperor's nephew, and estimated that the time was not early, so she planned to go to the dining room to see the situation of lunch, but she didn't expect the second prince to come today, so she still followed the usual dishes, and now she wants to see if she wants to add some delicacies.

Thinking that there are all male guests here, the fourth sister is not suitable to stay here as a woman, and plans to take her with her, but when she turned around, she saw the fourth sister looking at Tuoba Shen, and she felt strange in her heart, the second prince lives in the palace every day, and it is very rare to come out, even if he is only a few opportunities to see him when he enters the palace during the annual Zhengdan court, where does the fourth sister have the opportunity to meet the second prince?

"Fourth sister" Princess Zheng pulled the sleeve of the fourth sister and asked in a low voice, "Do you also know the second prince?" ”

Zheng Niangzi was looking at Tuoba Shen thinking about her thoughts, and suddenly she was pulled by the second sister, came back to her senses, looked at the second sister suspiciously, and asked, "Second sister, what's wrong?" ”

Seeing that the fourth sister didn't hear what she asked just now, a trace of doubt flashed in Princess Zheng's eyes, and she pulled her sister aside in a low voice, and asked in a low voice, "Does the fourth sister also know the second prince?" In the past, when the second prince came to the palace, the elder sister didn't remember that the fourth sister was there. ”

Zheng Niangzi thought about her actions just now, and felt that she was too rude just now, so that the second sister misunderstood. I felt a little embarrassed, and replied in a low voice: "The Queen Mother met once in Yongning Temple when she was fasting. ”

。。。。。。。

Tuoba Shen also noticed that Zheng Niangzi's eyes were staring at him, and he didn't know what Zheng Niangzi meant, and he was also a little uncomfortable. I had no choice but to say nothing: "I heard that the host and guest Cao Cao has been trapped in the southern envoy recently, and Lord Zhang has been busy for this matter for the past few days, I don't know if there will be any results?" After a pause, he said: "It's about the grandmother of the Queen Mother, ask carefully." Don't be surprised. ”

Everyone suddenly realized after hearing this, no wonder the second prince asked about Li Daoyuan, it turned out that it was not Li Daoyuan's statement that it was in the imperial city, but because the second prince was concerned about the matter of the host and guest Cao. Immediately, they all felt that the second prince was worthy of His Majesty's son, and his pure filial piety was also due to His Majesty.

Li Daoyuan saw the prince asking, and replied: "The host and guest Cao went back and forth to the state guesthouse many times, and the southern envoy still insisted on hanging in official clothes. After that, he glanced at Pei Yue, and then said: "Xia Guan came to visit the mansion of His Royal Highness the King of Beihai today, just to invite Pei Juntong to go to the State Guest House to lobby the southern envoy. ”

Pei Yue said in a timely manner: "Xiaguan and the southern envoy Pei Zhaoming both came from the former Wei Jizhou Gongzu, and Su and Li Jun had a heart-to-heart relationship, so Li Jun came to find the lower official and went to the state guesthouse together. ”

I see. But I'm afraid it's a trip in vain, one is that for Pei Zhaoming, this is a matter of national honor and disgrace, not Pei Zhaoming's personal problem, and the other is that although Pei Yue and Pei Zhaoming are both of the same clan, they are far from each other now, and there may not be much of this same clan.
