Chapter 413: Who is the real princess
"Teacher Duerbo, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what does he look like? Is it handsome? In one of the carriages of the convoy of the Arab mission, Princess Hina of Arabia asked.
The missions of the Arab Empire, in order to avoid war-torn areas, chose to take advantage of India, pass through Tibet, and then enter the route of the Tang Longyou Road.
On the way, Princess Sheena seized the time to learn Chinese, and her hard work surprised the Chinese teachers who accompanied her.
Princess Sheena's Chinese teacher is a businessman named Durbo, who is 50 years old this year and has been to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, many times. And I have lived in Chang'an City for three years, and I basically know Chang'an City very well.
In addition to learning Chinese, Princess Xina asked most about His Majesty the Tang Emperor.
For the Tang Emperor, before that, Princess Sheena was not ignorant. In her hand, there is a collection of poems translated into Arabic by the Tang Emperor Li Su, and she can recite many beautiful poems fluently.
Duerbo had heard many legends about the crown prince Li Su in Chang'an City, so he told Princess Xina in detail what he knew.
"The villain once had the privilege of meeting His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he was one of the most handsome men I have ever seen. ”
Hearing this, Sheena's eyes became brighter and brighter. She was even more curious about the Tang Emperor and looked forward to meeting the legendary Eastern Emperor as soon as possible.
Du Erbo said with some concern: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, loves his seven concubines very much, whether you can become his concubine smoothly, I'm afraid it will take some twists and turns." ”
Sheena wanted to know the story between the emperor of the East and his concubine. Let Durbo tell her.
The story of Li Su and his imperial concubines is legendary and touching, and people talk about it, and almost everyone in Chang'an City knows it.
Durbo had heard a lot of stories about it, and he told Sheena what he knew.
Hina was very moved when she heard these stories, and she secretly vowed to marry this Eastern Emperor!
Since then, Sheena has spent almost all her time learning Chinese, she is very smart, in order to learn Chinese quickly, she first learned spoken Chinese, and after her hard work, when the Arab mission came to Chang'an, she had basically mastered the conversational Chinese.
Tai Chi Palace, Li Su's study.
"Chen Tang Fei see the emperor." Foreign Minister Tang Fei said.
Li Su was watching Du He's recital, he looked up and asked, "Lord Tang, do you have something wrong?" ”
Tang Fei said: "The Arab mission has arrived in Chang'an, and the minister has arranged for them to live in the embassy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”
Li Su put down the music in his hand and asked, "Who are the people who came?" ”
Tang Fei said: "Leading the team is a deputy prime minister of the Arab Empire, and an Arab princess. ”
Li Su smiled and said: "Do the Arabs want to make peace with the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Tang Fei said: "It's not clear yet, but this matter is a bit weird, the Arabs came with a total of nine beauties, and they said that the princess is hiding among these nine beauties, and they want to test the emperor's eyesight to see if you can pick out this princess from them." ”
"Oh?" Li Su was also a little curious, and said, "This is a bit interesting." He said how do I choose? ”
Tang Fei said: "The Arabs say that when you receive them, the emperor, these beauties, wearing the same clothes, will give you a dance, and see if you can pick out which one is the princess." ”
Li Su said: "Okay, you can arrange it, just tomorrow afternoon, in the banquet hall of the Taiji Palace." ”
Why did the Arabs put on this show?
It turned out that Princess Sheena heard about His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire, and she didn't seem to be very interested in beautiful women, and he didn't like the princesses of many countries in the past.
Although Xina is conceited and beautiful, she also knows that the Tang Emperor has already read all the beauties in the world, and she can't attract the Tang Emperor just by relying on her beauty. She had to find a different way!
Princess Sheena proposed not to propose peace to the Tang Empire for the time being, so as not to be rejected by others and affect the main purpose of the Arab mission.
There had never been official exchanges between the Arab Empire and the Tang Empire before that. Vice-Chancellor Weber's mission was to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty to prevent Tang aid to the Persian Empire. Princesses and pros are just one of the means.
Weber hoped to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, thereby facilitating his own negotiations with the Tang Empire. Therefore, he agreed with Princess Sheena's arrangement.
In the afternoon of the second day, the Tai Chi Hall Banquet Hall.
Li Su decided to meet with the envoys of the Arab Empire, and participated in the reception of the Empress Dowager Changsun, Concubine Yang, the empress and concubines, Li Ke, the king of Shu, Li Xiaogong, and officials above the deputy prime minister. And, of course, Li Dan and Du He.
At half past two o'clock in the afternoon, all the people who participated in the reception arrived.
Li Su nodded to start.
Sun Ming, the new chief eunuch, shouted sharply: "Xuan Arab Empire mission to meet you." ”
With shouts, members of the Arab Imperial Mission, entered the banquet hall.
Tang Fei first introduced the members of the Arab Empire mission to Li Su and the members of the Tang Empire who participated in the reception.
Then, he turned to Li Su, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said, "This is my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire, please invite the envoys of the Arab Empire to meet you." ”
The Deputy Prime Minister of the Arab Empire, Wei Libo, bowed and said: "The envoys of the Arab Empire, on behalf of His Majesty the Caliph, the great defender of religion, salute His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Tang Empire!" ”
Li Su nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please convey my respect to Your Great Caliph after your envoy returns." ”
Deputy Prime Minister Wei Libo handed over the gift list and said: "Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, Your Royal Highness the Princess of our country, I have admired the demeanor of His Majesty the Tang Emperor for a long time, and I want to personally present a song and dance for His Majesty the Tang Emperor, and please appreciate His Majesty the Tang Emperor and all the noble Tang nobles." ”
As we all know, Pakistanis are good at singing and dancing, and Princess Sheena came this time and was very well prepared, not only did they bring many beautiful women, but they also brought a small band.
Soon, with the melodious sound of music, four beautiful women dressed in colorful national costumes came out, and they sang and danced to the center of the banquet hall.
Immediately afterwards, four more beauties came out, and finally, a beautiful woman appeared, she had a graceful goose throat, dancing gracefully, and eight beauties held the moon like a moon, surrounding her in the middle.
For the Arab princess, everyone knows in advance about the nine beauties, so everyone is guessing which one is the real Arab princess.
