The Great Zhou Dynasty was the first year of the Holy Calendar of the Holy Emperor of Tianshun, that is, the second year of Emperor Wenwu of Dongying.

Fujiwara Palace (a palace built at the end of the Asuka period in Japan, a palace built in the style of the Taiji Palace of the Tang Dynasty) in the center of Fujiwara-kyo (located in present-day Kashihara City, Honnara Prefecture).

In the court hall (the meeting place in the ancient Japanese imperial palace, the regulation and appearance are basically built in accordance with the Zhongshu Province in the imperial palace in the Tang Dynasty), a young man dressed in purple clothes and a crown looked back at the Daji Hall not far away (the main hall of Fujiwara Palace, which is also the place where the emperor deliberates, which is equivalent to the Taiji Hall of the Taiji Palace in the Tang Dynasty), covered his mouth with a folding fan, hooked the corners of his lips and smiled faintly:

That is to say...... Her Majesty's imperial edict of Her Majesty the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty has already left the Ming Palace, and is about to enter the embassy residence in the Shendu (that is, Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty), right? ”

"Yes. If you have any questions, please feel free to reply. The minister also replied to His Majesty. The man dressed as Zhou Chen saluted, and then said loudly.

"That's not necessary." This is called Fujiwara-sama, the father of the current Emperor Toei Bunmu Lady (that is, the empress), and the official position of the ancient Japanese imperial court, whose authority is relatively close to the position of the squire of the two provinces under the Zhongmen Gate in the Sui and Tang dynasties of our country) Fujiwara Bubi and so on. And the man in front of him was the close attendant sent by Wu Zetian, the Great Zhou Emperor who was with Dongying.

He smiled and thanked the noble servant in front of him, who was said to be in front of the Empress of the Great Zhou, and then specially ordered him to go to the palace in the annex in his Vermilion Bird Gate to set up a clean house, and asked Lord Zhou Qing to rest for a few days before returning to the court. (The Suzaku Gate here is not Chang'an Castle Gate, but refers to the Suzaku Gate of Fujiwara Kyo in Japan, when the entire Fujiwara Kyoto was built in imitation of the system of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty culture gradually admired the four-phase divine beasts, so it had a very far-reaching impact on Japan and South Korea at that time. And the title of Lord Zhou Qing was the honorific title of the envoy of the visiting official envoys of the Wu Zhou period at that time - just like before and after the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the envoy of the Tang State was honored by Tang Qing. ）

After the purple-clothed Lord Zhou Qing thanked him, he left with a smile, leaving Fujiwara Bubi and others looking at his back thoughtfully.

After a while, an old man walked beside him, coughed lightly before saying, "My lord seems to be quite interested in this Zhou Qing's clothes......"

"The people of Zhou always know how to appreciate beautiful things. This is probably inseparable from the fact that they have a beautiful Empress Majesty? ”

With a smile on his eyes, he felt the fresh fragrance around him, and then said slowly: "But speaking of which, purple clothes are originally the most noble of all colors...... It seems that this close attendant is really very popular with Her Majesty the Empress of Zhou! ”

"I heard that it is her closest attendant now, and it seems to be called Li Wei."

"Li Yu? Since the surname is Li, it is a relationship with His Majesty the Emperor of the previous dynasty, which cannot be separated? ”

"This lieutenant is not Biyu, as for his surname, it seems that he is the son of Li Dehui, the commander of Jinwuwei next to His Majesty the Emperor of the previous dynasty, because he was entrusted to the descendants of Wei Chi Jingde, so he took the name of Wei."

"Li De Award? Is that the commander who single-handedly established the Northern Ya Forbidden Army? Is it the son of such a great man? ”

"Yes."

"I see...... It seems that she is really very fond of Her Majesty the Empress...... Your Excellency. ”

Muttering to himself for a moment in distraction, Fujiwara Bubi suddenly cheered up and turned his head to look at the old man: "Wu Luozi, you said that the pattern on the clothes of the ambassador Li Wei just now, is it a vine flower?" ”

"Fuji ......"

The old man known as Wu Luozi is exactly what the outside world sees, Fujiwara is not as good as the father of his wife Su Irenko, who died early.

And when the old man heard these two words, he was in a trance for a while, as if he had returned to the dreamlike incident decades ago.

Datang celebrates the fourth winter.

Under the side hall of the Great Treasure Hall of Jiucheng Palace.

Mei Niang changed into a new pattern of clothes, sat on the phoenix chair, and looked at His Royal Highness's small young man who was bowing his head to himself with a smile.

"Are you the incomparable of the Zhongchen family? Hurry up! ”

Hearing that Mei Niang was exempt from the ceremony, the eight-year-old Zhongchen did not get up immediately, but made another big salute in the direction of Mei Niang's voice, and then took off his clothes.

After getting up, he didn't raise his head abruptly, but stood with his head bowed and his hands crossed very calmly, just waiting for Mei Niang to be exempted again.

It's just that although such a number of etiquette is comprehensive, it is obviously not accepted by people in the Tang Dynasty, which pays attention to "etiquette for national use". As Mei Niang, who is the queen of a country, it was even a moment late to realize that this child was waiting for him to forgive his bow.

An eight-year-old child is so rigid and inflexible...... It seems that what Jiro said about Toei is now close to chaos, but it is not a lie.

Shaking her head and sighing again, Mei Niang smiled gently: "The Zhongchen clan really abides by the rules and etiquette. Come to someone, give a seat, and be exempted. ”

This second waiver came out, and the middle minister did not wait to thank him, and then slowly raised his head, and under the guidance of the little attendant pointed out by Minghe, after stepping into a few cases on the side, he bowed again to thank the little attendant, Xie Meiniang, and then sat down in his clothes.

Seeing him like this, Mei Niang couldn't help but sigh in her heart-

If his own Hong'er Xian'er is like this, I'm afraid that he will be punished by his husband who hates these red tape a long time ago.

But Mei Niang is also Mei Niang in the end, although she doesn't think so, there is no displeasure on her face - in fact, for this child, he doesn't understand these things, even if there is a mistake, it is also the fault of the adult who taught him these etiquettes, what does this child have to do?

Therefore, instead of scolding the child too harshly, she even smiled at him very gently.

And this smile, just like the first golden sunlight piercing the clouds in the sky when it rains for a long time, pierces straight into the eyes and hearts of this old and serious young man.

Couldn't help it, Zhongchen didn't blink, looked at Mei Niang's smile blankly, and was in a trance for a while.

"Although the second son of Zhongchen is the first horn at the beginning of this year, he is really a good boy who is clear and polite! It's just that this palace heard that you are also reviving the words of the Buddha in the court, so in this Tang Dynasty, when you enter the Buddha's language, you will follow its etiquette. Here in the main palace, there is no need to be so cumbersome. ”

Hearing Mei Niang's words, the Zhongchen who was originally looking at Mei Niang intently suddenly felt an incomparable humiliation, and for a while, his face was swollen red:

I think that His Excellency, the second son of the courtier, is famous for his etiquette in the Dongying Kingdom, why is it said that the etiquette is cumbersome in this Tang Kingdom? And the one who said this was actually the queen mother of the Tang Kingdom......

It seems that the world is true, this queen mother is indeed from a humble background and lacks cultivation!

He thought about such a thing with some disgust, but his expression was as calm as usual, and he even thanked Mei Niang with a childlike innocent smile.

This made Mei Niang raise her eyebrows, and the corners of her lips and eyebrows were dyed with a hint of funny smile:

Seemingly...... This little boy is a little deeper than the castle that Jiro is looking at......

Interesting.
