The scene in the palace, as Qin Luo and Liu Changfeng predicted, the important ministers are trying to find ways to bribe the painter. However, unlike the emperor's draft, this time everyone only asks for the painter to paint his daughter's daughter ugly and not to be elected.

It's easy to paint ugly, it's hard to paint beautiful, just "carelessly" a few strokes of ink, it will affect a person's overall image, who doesn't want to accept this silver?

The only one who didn't give silver to the painter was Xu Yuan, the granddaughter of Mrs. Xu.

On the day that the envoy of Xiang Qiang's Chishui Ministry entered Beijing, hundreds of people poured into both sides of the street to see what Xiang Qiang's people looked like. The imperial court sent hundreds of forbidden troops to guard the places where the Chishui Department passed, for fear that someone would break over and seek revenge on the Xiangqiang people.

Moreover, in order to show the importance and friendship of Great Chu to Xiang Qiang, the little emperor will personally greet him in front of the palace gate. The safety of the emperor is also something that the forbidden army needs to pay attention to.

On the other hand, Yereyi is also fully prepared for this meeting. After all, the emperor who sees Da Chu and the generals who see Da Chu are completely different. Yereyi is well aware that diplomatic relations are a major matter between the two countries. This is the first meeting between Da Chu and Xiang Qiang, and her meeting with the emperor represents not only herself, not only the Chishui Ministry, but the entire Xiang Qiang.

This meeting is destined to go down in history and spread for thousands of years.

At noon, after the music and the golden drum sounded three times, the little emperor wore twelve black crowns and wore dark crown clothes, surrounded by hundreds of officials, and appeared on the palace tower.

Yereyi led hundreds of soldiers and appeared at the end of the street on horseback, she wore silver iron armor, wore a red cloak, jumped on her horse and raised her whip, and carried the reins forward; Looking forward to it, he was full of energy and high spirits.

Next to him was Yele Kang'er, the prince of the world, and in the carriage behind was Xiang Qiang's Wei Wu Kedun.

Under the heavy protection of the forbidden army and the Chishui soldiers, Yeleyi took his younger brother and walked towards the palace. I saw a sea of people on both sides of the road, and the people of Nanchu surrounded this place. Yereyi even heard the voices of the people talking about it.

"This is the Xiangqiang people, I think they look the same as us, and they don't have three heads and six arms."

"You see, Xiang Qiang's son is really handsome, and he doesn't look fierce at all."

"But his sister is fierce."

"It turned out to be a female general, they Xiang Qiang, women can also go on horses to fight?"

"It's strange, it's really strange."

Ye Leyi laughed when he heard this, these people always thought that they Xiang Qiang was a savage, vulgar in appearance and vulgar. In fact, they didn't look too surprised, but it was a pity that there were too few people on both sides, and there was just a little mystery.

The little emperor stood on the city tower, looking forward to it. At a glance, the figures in the distance were longing, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, only to see the red flame-patterned flags floating in the sky, showing off in the wind.

Yereyi was quite proud in her heart, and she finally brought the banner of the Chishui tribe to Middle-earth, to the interior deeper than Tuoba Yan.

The team marched to the gate of the palace, and the little emperor, accompanied by Taifu and others, set off downstairs. From the entrance of the palace gate to the main hall, there is a red felt, showing the etiquette style of a great country.

Yereyi and Yelekang grabbed the reins of their horses and jumped down. The maid Saren helped Wei Wu Kedun and slowly walked out of the carriage.

The two sides gradually approached, and the little emperor really saw the appearance of Xiang Qiang's prince and the young general.

It turned out that there was such a woman in the world, with a sharp edge, standing proudly in the world, and the silver-white armor shone brightly under the sunlight, bathing in glory. Against the backdrop of Yereyi, it seems that all things in heaven and earth have been eclipsed.

At the same time that the little emperor was looking at Ye Leyi, Ye Leyi was also observing Zhao Ruize. The emperor of the Central Plains was younger than she imagined, but as she thought, he was polite and polite. Ye Leyi looked at Zhao Ruize, and there was a little jealousy in his heart, such a weak little emperor, why did he want Qin Luo to risk his life, be loyal to the assistant, and never change his mind?

At this time, Lu Ziyu, who acted as an interpreter, stepped forward and introduced to both parties: "This is His Majesty the Emperor of our Great Chu. ”

Wei Wu Kedun, Ye Le Kang Er and Ye Le Yi stepped forward, put their right hand on their left shoulder, bowed slightly and said, "Meet the Great Chu Emperor." ”

The corners of Mrs. Xu's mouth twitched a few times, and she endured it without speaking. The emperor of Great Chu should be on the same status as Xiang Qiang's khan, but Ye Leyi and others did not bow to the emperor, and they used Xiang Qiang's etiquette to meet him, which shows that his attitude is bad.

When the courtiers saw that Xiang Qiang was arrogant, some people had already looked down on him, and they whispered: "Sure enough, it's Yidi, who doesn't understand etiquette." ”

But Ye Le Yi didn't care about this, she didn't accept Southern Chu, what's more, now that Xiang Qiang has already risen and is no longer a subsidiary of Chu State, how can they bow down to the little emperor?

The little emperor said according to Taifu's teaching: "Welcome messenger." ”

Ye Leyi smiled: "Thank you Emperor for welcoming you." ”

After Lu Ziyu translated, he introduced to the emperor: "This is the wife of Yele Khan, Wei Wu Kedun. Next to him is the son of Yel Khan, the son of Yele, a major general. ”

The little emperor had already learned about Xiang Qiang's envoys in General Feng's recitals. Seeing Yele Shizi at this moment, as Feng Rubing said, he was as gentle as jade, a humble gentleman.

The little emperor said in his heart, this prince doesn't look like a barbaric person like Xiang Qiang at all, and marrying a princess shouldn't suffer too much.

"In order to promote the alliance between the two countries, you have come from afar, I am very happy, and I am very happy to set up a banquet in the Pingyang Hall to receive the wind and wash the dust for Xiang Qiang's envoy, please!" The little emperor invited sideways, and the two sides stepped on the red felt carpet in the center of the corridor and walked into the Pingyang Gate together.

In the Pingyang Palace, a banquet had already been prepared, and the emperor and Wei Wu Kedun were both seated, and Ye Leyi and Ye Lekang Er sat around. When everyone was seated, the emperor raised his glass, "I wish Da Chu and Xiang Qiang friendship from generation to generation, like a family." ”

"Generations of friendship, like a family." The Chu and Xiang Qiang people raised their glasses one after another and drank them all.

Dance and music begin, and the wine banquet begins. Although Yereyi was not on the main seat, everyone present knew that Yeleyi was the one who could really be the master of the Chishui Mission.

Old lady Xu took the lead in picking up the wine glass and toasted to Ye Leyi: "I have long heard that the young general is a heroine among women and a heroine of the grassland. When I saw it today, it deserved its name. ”

Ye Leyi listened to the introduction of Lu Ziyu next to him, and knew that this was Xu Liqing and Mrs. Xu, so she replied: "Mrs. Taifu is too famous." I heard that Taifu was very knowledgeable and governed the country with Confucianism. This time I entered Chu, and I saw that the people of Chu lived and worked in peace and contentment, and it was peaceful. ”

"It's the saint who is diligent, and the old minister doesn't dare to take credit." Taifu said lightly.

"What does the young general think, Da Chu and Xiang Qiang, how is it?" Another asked.

Ye Leyi smiled slightly, "The Great Chu Land is vast and rich, and Xiang Qiang has a wide sky. Your people are content to be educated, and our herdsmen there are simple and strong. I think each has its own merits. ”

Ye Leyi replied to the past without being humble or arrogant, and said it without leakage. The man sat down awkwardly and said no more. Seeing this, Mrs. Xu touched her beard and said with a smile, "Hearing the young general say this, the old man really wants to go to Xiang Qiang to have a look." ”

"Xiang Qiang welcomes Taifu's arrival at any time."

"Hahaha, it's a pity, I'm getting old." The old lady smiled, "I'm afraid I won't have this blessing." ”
