Chapter 410: Catching the Wind
Chu Yun just adheres to a principle anyway, in diplomacy, there is no trivial matter, and a little face must not be lost. However, at this time, we can't use too strong words to scold back, after all, the two sides are also friendly and good-neighborly relations.
Therefore, Chu Yun opened his mouth and called his father-in-law, anyway, he called him as the seventh prince, and it was also said by Li Ming himself, feel free and don't be restrained.
Li Ming still looks very kind, a little middle-aged, Chu Yun heard Xuande say that the lord of Xichuan is a domineering and ambitious emperor, but this meeting is not as good as being famous......
Of course, Chu Yun will not judge people by their appearance, and the dog that bites people will not bark.
After some greetings, Chu Yun finally entered the city, and after that, Li Ming did not accompany him all the way, but just asked Xichuan's ceremonial officials to take Chu Yun to the palace of Prince Gong, which Xichuan specially built for the Seven Princes.
When he arrived at the front of the palace, Chu Yun looked at this plaque and was immediately unhappy, and said to the official: "Whose residence is this Gong Wang's Mansion?" ”
The ceremonial official's name was Gu Yuan, and when he heard Chu Yun's question, he said: "This is a palace specially built by His Majesty for His Royal Highness, and King Gong is the title that His Majesty intends to bestow on His Highness." ”
"Oh, since it hasn't been sealed yet, wouldn't it be unreasonable to live in it now? Let's wait until the future is sealed! ”
Chu Yun's attitude was also quite gentle, but it was just a point, insisting on not entering the door, Gu Yuan looked at Chu Yun with a painful face.
What are you doing, it's comfortable inside, do you have to go to live in a place where ordinary envoys live......
But Chu Yun insisted, and Gu Yuan had no choice but to cast a pleading gaze at Li Xiuli, who was still accompanying him. Li Xiuli didn't speak, just shook her head, and Gu Yuan understood what she meant.
There was no way, he had no choice but to take Chu Yun elsewhere.
Leaving aside how to settle down for the time being, just a brief rest, Chu Yun followed the guidance of Xichuan's eunuch to the palace to participate in the reception banquet specially set up for him by Li Ming.
When he arrived at Xichuan's palace, Chu Yun was surprised to find that there was no minister from Xichuan who participated in this reception banquet.
When Li Ming saw Chu Yun, he said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew has come from afar, and he must have been very tired, so I will not be able to mobilize the people, so I will simply set up a banquet, virtuous nephew, please don't dislike it." ”
Chu Yun said respectfully: "Father-in-law is polite. ”
Li Ming: "......"
Every time he heard Chu Yun call him father-in-law, Li Ming's mood was very strange, and he didn't know where this weirdness came from.
probably thinks that the prince who came from the Great Summer is really self-cooked, and he will really climb up the pole.
But what kind of person Li Ming is, he has a lot of thoughts in his heart, he still has a smile on his face, he warmly beckoned Chu Yun to sit down, and said to Li Xiuli: "Xiuli, how about introducing your future husband to your sisters and brothers-in-law?" ”
Li Xiuli heard that two red clouds flew on her face, as if she was ashamed, but she still took Li Ming's words, walked to Chu Yun's side and said: "This is the seventh prince of Great Xia, Zhao Zhong, whose title in Great Xia is the King of Shu. ”
Chu Yun also stood up and bowed slightly to Li Xiuli's sister and brother-in-law after Li Xiuli's introduction.
In Chu Yun's eyes, in addition to those servants who served, including the lord of Xichuan, there were a total of four men and seven women, among them, three men should be the husbands of Li Xiuli's three sisters, Xichuan's royal family was thin, plus Li Xiuli, there were only four princesses in total, and there was no male one.
So the other three are all Li Ming's princesses.
Therefore, this family banquet is particularly interesting.
In fact, the emperor of Xichuan is still a little worse than Daxia, the emperor's wife is only three, it is too miserable, unlike Xuande, there are so many beauties in the harem, and many of them are not favored by him.
There is no harm without contrast.
Chu Yun just glanced at it, and silently looked at the expressions of these people, among them, there was a woman who looked more similar to Li Xiuli, looking at Chu Yun's gaze, she was also more kind, while the other people, looking at Chu Yun, were very deliberately restraining their resentment.
This is a very mysterious feeling, and Chu Yun's feelings have always been relatively keen, and he can feel that many people are full of malice towards him.
It seems that no matter where this is, there will be inevitable disputes and intrigues.
The one who looked at Chu Yun's kind face may be Li Xiuli's biological mother, and the others should be hostile to Chu Yun, as for those men, they seem to be a little more jealous.
And Li Xiuli introduced several of her sisters and brothers-in-law, and Chu Yun remembered their names and appearances one by one, in other words, he actually didn't need Li Xiuli's introduction, he could recognize it himself, but this procedure was a must.
After this step, it is officially to pick up the dust for Chu Yun, Li Xiuli's sisters and brothers-in-law, although they don't have much affection for Chu Yun, they have to pretend to be polite, talk to Chu Yun, push the cup and change the lamp.
After a few times, Chu Yun's face was also flushed with hunger, and the eldest princess Ji Chen picked up the wine glass and said to Chu Yun seriously: "I have always heard that the royal family members of Great Xia are extraordinary, and when I saw it today, what I said was true, come, foolish brother toast you!" ”
Chu Yun raised his wine glass and took a sip.
The two horses quickly followed the big horses and said to Chu Yun: "The men of Great Xia are really bold, come, I will also toast you!" ”
Chu Yun continued to take a snort.
Seeing this, the three horses said directly: "Don't say much, cheers!" ”
Chu Yun: "......"
In other words, if you want to get me drunk, you have to act seriously, is it really good to have such an undisguised purpose?
Chu Yun knew that these people must have colluded with the routine, and deliberately came to rectify him, but Chu Yun also had anti-routines.
GENERALLY SPEAKING, IT IS EASIER TO GET DRUNK IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY TO DRINK, SO CHU YUN CONTINUED TO TAKE A SIP VERY BOLDLY, AND THEN, DUANG SMASHED THE TABLE.
Lying in the groove, the head hurts, but the problem is not big, it is very iron in the lower head.
Knowing that the other party was planning to get him drunk, Chu Yun actually had two plans, first, with Mingxin's headband, he poured a wave back, so that the children of Xichuan could see what it meant to be open-minded.
But thinking about this is still a bit hurtful, Chu Yun didn't plan to be tough, you want me to get drunk, then I'll be drunk, it depends on what you want to do.
Except for the moment when I smashed the table, I was too anxious and didn't control the strength well, and it hurt a little, but everything else was still under control.
BUT THE EFFECT IS REALLY EXCELLENT, CHU YUN'S DUANG SOUND FRIGHTENED THE SEVERAL WOMEN PRESENT TO BE FLICKED, AND THEN PATTED THEIR LIVERS. Li Xiuli's third sister Li Xiuhua pinched the orchid finger and said pretentiously: "Sister, since your man can't drink it, why should he be reckless, it's really inappropriate to hurt his body like this." ”
When Li Xiuli heard this, she also said softly and weakly: "What my sister taught me is that Xiuli will definitely talk to him in the future, and if someone wants to toast him in the future, there is no need to force himself to drink it." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Li Xiuhua was not happy at that time, her face changed, and she wanted to speak ill of Li Xiuli, Chu Yun closed his eyes, but he heard this conversation clearly.
This Li Xiuli is really not good at stubble in Xichuan, although she still pretends to be soft and weak, she speaks politely. This definitely doesn't look like the behavior of a bullied sister.,Generally speaking,Whoever quarrels.,Whoever is angry loses.。
So just by virtue of this meeting, Chu Yun felt that Li Xiuli was probably the most powerful princess in Xichuan.
Isn't this all three sisters united?
If Li Xiuli was weak, they definitely wouldn't be like this.
Li Ming was still smiling, but he was drunk and confused, and he seemed to be confused, in short, he didn't seem to see anything about this farce.
At a table of wine, there are two people who are pretending to be drunk, so those who are still sober can get high.
Facing the third sister's questioning, Li Xiuli was not intimidated at all, and said indifferently: "Why is the third sister so angry, Xiuli said it according to the meaning of the third sister." ”
Li Xiuli's third sister is indeed a little lower, it was clear that she said that Chu Yun should not be reluctant, but now she is easily angry again, Chu Yun has already marked her as the least threatening in her heart.
Seeing that the sisters were about to quarrel, a gentler voice joined them.
"Okay, don't say it, it's all a family, don't be so polite, the little brother of the Zhao family has just come to my Xichuan, Xu is a little restrained, fourth sister, you have to take care of him."
It was the eldest sister Li Jiali among the sisters who spoke, the oldest one, and when she said this, Li Xiuli and Li Xiuhua were very obedient and did not continue to argue, but there was obviously still discord between the sisters.
And after Li Jiali stopped a conflict, the last second sister Li Shuyuan said after this: "Since the little brother of the Zhao family is no longer strong enough to drink, fourth sister, you can take him to rest, my father is also a little drunk, this reception banquet, let's end here!" ”
When she said this, she didn't go through Li Ming's consent, but the others listened to Li Shuyuan's opinion.
Li Ming's concubines helped Li Ming to the harem, and Li Xiuli helped Chu Yun, who smelled of wine, with the help of her subordinates.
Chu Yun felt that he was here to make soy sauce, and listened to a play by the way. He's keeping a low profile now, and making soy sauce is excellent.
And the purpose of his coming to Xichuan was just to investigate how much Li Xiuli had to do with the death of the Seventh Prince, and by the way, Chu Yun was going to put on a performance, so that the Seventh Prince's death would be very reasonable and would not cause very serious consequences. Then, Chu Yun could restore his identity and return to Great Xia.
The script was written like this, so Chu Yun had no interest in the intrigue between the four princesses of Xichuan at all, so he decided to continue playing soy sauce, and even, if someone planned to use him to attack Li Xiuli, Chu Yun would cooperate very casually.
Anyway, as long as it's none of your business.
Many people in Great Xia feel that the Seventh Prince married Li Xiuli and can be the emperor of Xichuan in the future, but this is still a little taken for granted, just a reception banquet, Chu Yun can see that there are not many people who are interested in this throne.
What's more interesting is that in Xichuan, it seems that those princesses are mainly engaged in the struggle for succession, and the horses seem to be pawns.
Chu Yun couldn't help but secretly think in her heart that Li Xiuli chose the Seventh Prince at that time, perhaps out of this consideration, and let the Seventh Prince come over as her gun.
At that time, there were indeed not many people to choose from, just the character of the sixth prince, it was not difficult for others to let him be a gun, as long as he calculated carefully. But obviously, Li Xiuli needs to be smarter, not so easy to calculate, but more obedient.
The Seven Princes are undoubtedly the best choice.
And now that the Seventh Prince has been replaced by Chu Yun, it is even easier to call.
Chu Yun is absolutely obedient, I will go wherever you ask me to make soy sauce......
Of course, she has not yet married, and Li Xiuli does not dare to reveal her true purpose for the time being.
She was going to attack the heart first.
In other words, use your charm to make the Seven Princes fall in love with her, and then drive her.
Li Xiuli is still very confident in her appearance, although she also guessed that the Seventh Prince may have some suspicion and distrust of her, but Li Xiuli thinks that she doesn't have any horses and feet exposed, so it's only a matter of time before she is strategic.
And this time, her ill-intentioned sisters helped her.
Originally, Li Xiuli was supposed to send Chu Yun back to the post house, but Li Xiuli didn't, she took Chu Yun directly to her princess's mansion.
She didn't let Chu Yun sleep in her own bed, but went to the side room, put Chu Yun on the bed, covered him with a thin quilt, and then asked her subordinates to bring a basin of hot water and wash Chu Yun's face in person.
If the Seventh Prince is real, and encounters such a situation, maybe when he wakes up after being drunk and sees Li Xiuli who takes care of himself so carefully, he will also throw away Xuande's admonition to him and completely fall into Li Xiuli's disguised gentleness.
It's a pity that creation makes people, Li Xiuli killed the wrong person, and also attacked the wrong person.
Chu Yun was served by Li Xiuli like this, and his heart did not fluctuate.
He just wanted Li Xiuli to leave quickly, and he would better have a good sleep and sleep peacefully, but Li Xiuli finished sucking her face and sat on the edge of Chu Yun's bed again, which made Chu Yun panic.
In other words, don't you like women, it's not good to be so active!
Chu Yun secretly decided in his heart that if Li Xiuli wanted to do something to him, he would definitely jump up, and he would have to scare Li Xiuli no matter what he said.
Fortunately, Li Xiuli didn't do anything, just watched Chu Yun's sleeping face for a while, then got up and went out and went back to her room to sleep.
Now Chu Yun couldn't understand Li Xiuli's purpose, this ......
What is she for? Chu Yun felt that he should have a set of pretending to be asleep, so that it would not be so easy to be debunked, so Li Xiuli saw that he was asleep and still did these things, could it be that she really liked the Seven Princes?
Chu Yun felt that Li Xiuli might be the first woman in his life who couldn't guess, like Yun'er, and Xia Ying, they were very easy to understand, Wu Yun'er was simple-minded, and although Xia Ying's experience was a little complicated, her scheming was not very deep, so that Chu Yun could feel the kindness of the other party.
Only Li Xiuli, Chu Yun can't tell the difference, is this person loyal or traitorous?
