661. Chapter 656 The Crossbow Mission Visits!
At the beginning of March, the crossbow mission came to visit Sheng'an!
On the day when the mission entered Beijing, the city of Sheng'an was very lively, and Mo Junhan, Prince of Kun, and Mo Junxuan, Prince of Shuo, led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet each other, and the ceremony was solemn.
The people also gathered on both sides of the main road to watch the excitement, wanting to see how tall and mighty those crossbow people were, rough and savage, of course, it would be better if they saw the new khan of the crossbow country, and there would be one more thing to talk about in the future.
Emperor Mo Jinye did not personally go out of the palace to greet him, in his opinion, Dongyue is the largest country in Middle-earth, and the crossbow is just a barbarian country in the north, and the crossbow Khan came with an embassy this time, so he naturally has to carry some identities, but it is not rude to have two princes bring civil and military officials to greet the mission team.
On this day, Cen Xiqin couldn't hold back his curiosity, and he also wanted to go out to join in the fun, so he came to Jinglan Pavilion and wanted to take Cen Xiyan with him.
Cen Xiyan lazily leaned on the soft couch, looked at the idle book, and said without raising his eyes: "I'm not feeling well, so I won't go." ”
Cen Xiqin's eyes widened, his eyes were full of suspicion as he looked at Cen Xiyan, and he asked in disbelief, "Not feeling well?" Really? ”
The sixth sister doesn't look like a sick and weak beauty, is it so easy to get sick? And now she doesn't look uncomfortable......
"Fake." Sure enough, Cen Xiyan spit out these two words without changing color.
"Sixth sister!" Cen Xiqin pouted, "You tease me!" ”
"yes, I'm just kidding you." Cen Xiyan nodded.
"Sixth sister! You're really getting worse! Cen Xiqin pouted dissatisfiedly, and said unrelentingly: "Sixth sister, it's okay to be idle anyway, you can go with me!" ”
"No, no." Cen Xiyan refused without hesitation: "It's just a visit from foreign history, they all have a head and two legs, and they don't have three heads and six arms, what is there to see?" The streets are full of people, crowded and noisy, where is there to be comfortable at home. ”
In the past few months of getting along, Cen Xiqin has probably figured out Cen Xiyan's temper, looking at her current attitude, she knows that she really doesn't want to go to the street to see the excitement, although she is depressed, but she also knows that it is useless to grind, she pouted and said: "Sixth sister, you are really boring!" Don't forget it, I'll go myself! ”
After Cen Xiqin left, Cen Xiyan put down the books in the book and sighed softly.
She didn't really want to be a housemaid in this deep mansion compound, but when she thought of the Asi she met that day, she felt strange in her heart, and there was always a premonition that this man would bring her trouble!
However, can you really avoid trouble by hiding in the house? In fact, she also knows that she has an ostrich mentality, and she will always come when she should come, and she can't hide from it......
The crossbow mission came to visit, although a palace banquet was set up on the day to entertain them, but the distinguished guests came from thousands of miles, the wind and dust were servant, the carriages and horses were tired, and the banquet was not easy to hold for too long, not simply to catch the wind.
After that, Mo Jinye decreed that three days later, a big feast was held to ceremoniously entertain the crossbow khan and the delegation he led, and the civil and military officials could bring their families to attend.
The Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion naturally received the will, and there was nothing strange about Old Taijun Cen, the eldest lady Li, and the concubine Cen Xiqin and Cen Xifen in the list of invitees, and Cen Xiyan was also invited!
After many people were surprised, they soon felt that this was not worth making a fuss about, although it seemed inappropriate for her to participate in this kind of palace banquet as a concubine, but there had been a precedent for her to be invited to a palace banquet before, who could say that it was not suitable for her to go this time?
Of course, envy, jealousy and hatred are inevitable, just a concubine, she has repeatedly gotten such opportunities, and I don't know what kind of shit luck she has taken!
When Cen Xiyan got the news, she only sighed helplessly, such a big piece of shit, in fact, she was not interested in stepping on it......
On the day of the banquet, Cen Xiyan dressed up decently, not ostentatious, and would not lose the face of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, and rushed to the palace with Cen Lao Taijun and the Li family.
Cen Xifen looked at Cen Xiyan beside her, who didn't squint, and the roots of her teeth itched with hatred, but she was helpless against her.
Cen Xiqin was a little excited, lowered his voice and whispered to Cen Xiyan, "Sixth sister, we will be able to see the new Khan of the Crossbow in a while, I don't know what the new Khan looks like!" ”
"Didn't you see that day?" Cen Xiyan also lowered his voice and replied.
"Nope." Cen Xiqin sighed regretfully: "There were too many people that day, I couldn't squeeze through it at all!" And there are still many officers and soldiers guarding both sides of the road, what can you see! ”
Without waiting for Cen Xiyan to speak again, Cen Xifen on the side interjected righteously: "Stop talking!" What does it look like to hear it? I thought that the girls of our Cen family were so unruly! Don't throw it to foreign guests! ”
"Who are you lecturing?" Cen Xiqin turned his head to look at Cen Xifen, with a cold face, raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't the rules of the Cen family teach you to be big or small?!" ”
"I ......" Cen Xifen was choked by Cen Xiqin, and suddenly had no words to refute.
Old Taijun Cen and Li noticed their movements here, and couldn't help but frown at them, their eyes full of warning.
Cen Xiyan gently tugged Cen Xiqin and motioned for her to stop talking.
At this moment, the eunuch who led the way approached them and led them inside.
Guihe Palace, is a palace for special banquets for foreign guests, the seats have already been arranged in advance, the emperor, the prince, the minister of civil and military affairs and the crossbow messenger are all in the main hall, the queen mother, the queen mother and the queen are in the side hall with the princess and the female dependents of each province, separated by bead curtains.
At the beginning of the banquet, it was still the old-fashioned eating and drinking, talking, and occasionally there were ceremonial music and singing and dancing during the period, in Cen Xiyan's opinion, such a banquet was boring!
Fortunately, there are crossbow envoys present in the main hall today, and the queen mother and queen are not waiting to see Cen Xiyan, nor will they call her by name on this occasion, and the other female dependents naturally eat silently, or occasionally cater to the queen mother and queen A few words, no one has any interest in her Cen Xiyan.
Cen Xiyan was very conscientious in the role of the background board, silent, and tried to reduce his sense of existence.
With her ear, she naturally heard the conversation in the main hall clearly, and when the two ministers greeted him at the beginning, Cen Xiyan heard Mo Xianyun's voice and knew that he was also there, but he only heard him speak once, and he didn't hear his voice again.
When she heard the voice of the new crossbow khan Ashinakus, Cen Xiyan secretly sighed in her heart, she didn't need to look at the appearance of this crossbow khan, just by this voice, she could already confirm who he was!
