Overall, the trip to Ningbi Pond in Rì today was quite happy. From the official Zhao Huan to every general, the mood is relatively relaxed. In the past few years, the turmoil in the Great Song Dynasty has been in danger several times, and today it is finally a little restless. Although Chu Tianya doesn't particularly like this kind of singing and dancing to promote peace and worry-free, he doesn't mind letting others relax for a short time and enjoy some fun in life.

Therefore, when the official family rewarded the generals with gold and silver treasures and beautiful maids, Chu Tianya did not express any opinions. These men come and go in the blood, and they are born and die for meritorious deeds, and they deserve this reward. However, neither Chu Tianya nor Xue Yu accepted the reward of beauties. The former is not needed, and the latter is not uncommon.

When the official family saw that Chu Tianya had refused the reward of a beautiful woman, they immediately thought of Princess Xianfei in their hearts, and said to Chu Tianya in private: "Aiqing, this princess of the Western Xia Kingdom, you should take it back as soon as possible!" ”

Chu Tianya smiled, "Your Majesty, do you want to listen to Weichen's truth, or is it a lie?" ”

Zhao Huan was curious for a moment, "How to say the truth, and how to speak?" ”

Chu Tianya said with a smile, "The lie is that Wechen doesn't want to mix Wechen's personal interests and gains and losses in the diplomatic relations between the two countries and the important military affairs. Previously, the king of Western Xia sent envoys many times and presented jade seals, but the Great Song Dynasty never sent troops. Now as soon as Princess Xianfei is only sent, Da Song will immediately send troops. If this is spread out, won't outsiders say that His Majesty and Weichen are good people? ”

"Huh?" Zhao Huan was stunned, "Aiqing is reasonable!" …… Hey, that sounds like the truth! ”

Chu Tianya still smiled, "Actually, there is no particularly obvious difference between truth and falsehood. What Wei Chen really thought in his heart was that no matter whether Western Xia sent this princess or not, it was time for the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to help. In any case, we cannot let the Western Xia perish in the hands of Yelu Dashi, so that the Western Liao can dominate the Western Regions and erect a powerful enemy for the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Well, Aiqing is extremely worried!" Zhao Huan nodded again and again, "Yelu Dashi is an ambitious person, speaking of which, he does have some talent. At the beginning, he established a country in the Western Regions with more than 100 people, and now he is a strong soldier who dares to invade the Western Xia, which has been founded for a hundred years. Not to be underestimated. I thought that for the Western Liao and the Western Xia, it was just possible to 'attack from afar and close to each other', and the Great Song Dynasty would support the Western Xia and the Western Liao behind the back, so as to balance the two countries. In this way, there is no harm in all benefits. Now that the war situation in Western Xia is tight, Aiqing sent Liu Ziyu to lead 50,000 jīng sharp cavalry to help in the battle, which is really wonderful! ”

"Your Majesty has a good reputation." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Listening to Weichen's words, Your Majesty should be able to understand that the Great Song Dynasty sent troops to help the war, but it was actually out of interest, not Princess Xianfei herself." In addition, from a man's point of view, Princess Xianfei is a little sè; But Weichen is newly married to Emperor Roufu, and the two are happy with each other and have no intention of caring about it. Compared to Emperor Roufu, Princess Xianfei is not much stronger. And from Weichen's point of view, this princess Xianfei was full of resentment in her chest and disdained the minister. Weichen is not short of women, and he can't ask her to go home and vomit. ”

"In this way, Aiqing doesn't want this Xianfei master?" Zhao Huan's eyes were full of incredulity: No, I have three thousand beautiful sès in my harem, and I still feel itchy when I see this princess Xianfei. He actually wanted to leave Princess Xianfei behind?

"If you like it, take it!" Chu Tianya didn't care.

"No, no, no!" Zhao Huan hurriedly waved his hand, "A gentleman doesn't win people's love, how can I do such a thing!" It's just that this Princess Xianfei is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and if Aiqing retreats her, the King of Western Xia will not look good on his face; If she accepts her, she is not convinced and picky, and she is a little wronged by Aiqing. How good is that? ”

Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, "It's very simple—shelved it!" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment, "What does Aiqing mean is that he will neither return nor accept it, and release the cold palace?" ”

"Weichen is poor, the palace is constantly adding Ding, and the room is crowded, and Weichen doesn't plan to build a cold palace for her to live in." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "This matter will be arranged by His Majesty." ”

"Uh...... Okay, okay! Zhao Huan had no choice but to agree, and thought for a long time, "I will temporarily settle Princess Xianfei in Luoyang Palace, and send a few palace maids to serve me sooner or later." There is no shortage of food and clothing, and that's all there is to it. ”

"Okay, thank you." Chu Tianya bowed his hand and thanked him, glanced sideways at Princess Xianfei, who was standing not far away like a bodhisattva with a look of indifference and superiority, and smiled indifferently.

After the banquet was dispersed, the dragon boat docked, and Chu Tianya was ready to board the car and go home. Wang Renzong hurriedly rushed up and asked Chu Tianya, "Lord Wang, ...... this Immortal Fei Lord?"

"My emperor has already made arrangements, so you don't have to be cāo. You, who are the prime minister, don't focus on your children, but you should care more about diplomatic relations and military affairs! If there is any ambiguity, you can discuss directly with Liu Ziyu. Chu Tianya said, and boarded the car without saying anything.

Wang Renzong hit a soft nail and didn't dare to say more. When she returned to Princess Xianfei, she didn't know how to answer, so she had to answer Chu Tianya's original words.

"Exactly. Princess Ben is worried about not wanting to marry this man she doesn't know! Princess Xianfei said nonchalantly, "Prime Minister Wang, let's go back to the Western Xia Kingdom!" ”

Wang Renzong had the mind to cry on the spot, "Princess, what are you talking about?" A woman from a commoner family is still a daughter who marries out, just like water spilled out of the door. How can the princess of a country beside you come out and come back? ”

"He doesn't want me, what if I don't go back?" Princess Xianfei said angrily, "Could it be that I still kneel at his feet with a dead face and beg him to want me?" ”

Wang Renzong was stunned for a long time by her, and nodded with a frown, "If necessary, the princess is indeed going to do this." ”

"Why!" Princess Xianfei was furious.

"Just ...... He holds the life and death of the Western Xia Kingdom in his hands! Wang Renzong took a deep breath and said, "Princess, don't forget the purpose and responsibility of your trip. At this time, you should forget about your princess status, or even forget that you are a woman! Just like those soldiers who charged on the front line, they forgot to die. One qiē, for the perils of the country! ”

Princess Xianfei's face turned red with anger, and her silver teeth clenched and trembled slightly. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, please ask the prime minister to send me to the Wei Palace!" ”

"Hey...... Princess, I'm afraid this matter is up to the ministers. Wang Renzong said in a low voice and bitterly, "People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads." When they met on the dragon boat, the princess's disdain and contempt obviously angered King Wei. It is also thanks to the open-mindedness of King Wei who focuses on the overall situation, otherwise, he would not have sent troops to help Western Xia. Princess, now you are not in the palace of Western Xia, but as an envoy of Western Xia, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the country's peril. You almost buried it today, you know? ”

"Me! ......" Princess Xianfei was so scared and annoyed that she couldn't say a word in a hurry.

"Just now, Weichen also went to ask King Wei, and he said that the Great Song official family has already made arrangements for you." Wang Renzong sighed and said, "Obviously, King Wei doesn't intend to take you to the palace to live. He agreed to send troops to save Western Xia, but that doesn't mean he accepted you. By implication, he was not satisfied with the princess. ”

"How can it be!" Princess Xianfei was finally angry, "Am I still not worthy of him?" Don't you see that his form and appearance are far inferior to the generals under his command! This princess swallowed her anger and came thousands of miles to marry him, but he was not happy! ”

"Princess, you're not too young, why are you still judging people by your appearance?" Wang Renzong shook his head and sighed, "Anyway...... Wechen didn't have much to say. You just follow the arrangement of the Great Song Emperor and live in peace for the time being! In the future, you only need to remember one thing, you are no longer you, you are the face of the Western Xia Kingdom in the Great Song Dynasty! If you show your face to the King of Wei, the King of Wei will dare to show your face to the Western Xia Kingdom! ”

"......" Princess Xianfei trembled with anger and was speechless for a long time, and finally swallowed her anger and said, "I know!" ”

At this time, Zhao Huan's close attendant and eunuch trotted to Princess Xianfei's side, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Majesty My Emperor has invited the princess to stay and rest in His Royal Highness Xiangju in Luoyang Palace." ”

"Luoyang Palace, Anju Palace?" Princess Xianfei was stunned for a moment, "What kind of place is that?" ”

"The Imperial Palace."

"I know it's the palace...... I mean, what kind of palace is that? Princess Xianfei asked.

"Back to the princess, it is a very quiet palace that few people will disturb, located in the northwest corner of the palace, there are only trees within a radius of 100 zhang, and there is no other hall." The eunuch replied, beckoned over to the four palace maids, "From now on, they will serve the diet and daily life of Her Royal Highness the Princess." If the princess needs it, she can ask them. ”

After that, the eunuch confessed his sin and walked away.

Princess Xianfei was completely stunned. From the eunuch's words, it was not difficult for her to hear that it was a very desolate and remote palace, and perhaps it was used to "detain" the palace women and concubines who had committed crimes. Looking at the four palace maids again, the youngest is almost forty years old. Princess Xianfei, who grew up in the palace, naturally understands that in the harem, the servant's Cheng Sè is actually a face of the master. The Great Song Palace sent her four palace maids, and they clearly looked down on her!

Princess Xianfei instantly understood a fact: she had been beaten into the cold palace by King Wei!

For a while, she fell into an ice cellar, and it was cold from her heart and eye sockets directly to her heels.

On the way home, Emperor Roufu seemed to be in a good mood, much more cheerful than before. She pulled Chu Tianya to chat, and she knelt beside him, clinging tightly for a moment and didn't want to leave.

"Huanhuan, what makes you feel so good?" Chu Tianya couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just a good mood!" Emperor Roufu smiled and said, "Maybe it's ...... I've finally found my home! Maybe I went back to the palace today and met the royal brothers. ”

"Tell the truth."

"Hee-hee!" Emperor Roufu smiled slyly, "Do you really want to say it?" ”

"What do you think?"

"Okay......" Emperor Roufu stuck out her tongue and made an innocent expression, "because I see that you have rejected that invincible Princess Xianfei, I am happy, I am relieved!" ”

"Oh?" Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing, "What, do you think she hates it too?" ”

"No!" Emperor Roufu wrinkled her nose, "Do you know what she told me in the dragon boat room?" ”

"What?"

"She probably doesn't know who I am, and she doesn't know my relationship with you." "She was in the room and judging the men outside the window. When it comes to you, let's just say that you are not good-looking, and you are not tall and powerful enough, just there to praise Xue Yu for how handsome and chic he is. I was so angry. If it weren't for the identity of the princess and the occasion, I really wanted to scold her! ”

"Haha!" Chu Tianya laughed, "How are you going to scold?" ”

"I—I want to scold her for being superficial! Immature! Rats' eyes! Emperor Roufu said a little angry, "This woman is so ignorant! The princess of a small and wild country actually thinks so highly of herself! She didn't want to think about it, if you hadn't agreed to send troops to rescue, most of her Western Xia Kingdom would have been destroyed! - Such an ignorant and short-sighted and frivolous woman is not worthy of you! ”

"Huanhuan, you told the truth." Chu Tianya laughed happily, "She has a bit of a posture, but in my opinion, it is just a vain." Besides, what is her posture in the Wei Palace? Not to mention, the baby in my arms is more than a hundred times stronger than her! ”

"You scoundrel!" Huan Huan's heart was full of joy, and she crashed into Chu Tianya's arms and hugged his waist tightly, but let out a "hee-hee" snicker.

Chu Tianya stroked her fragrant shoulder with a smile, and said indifferently: "Chu has a strange temper in life. For people who don't like me and don't know how to appreciate me, whether they are men or women, they never flatter. ”

"That Princess Xianfei is really hopelessly stupid, she seems to have forgotten that she should have come to ask you and welcome you in every way." "By the way, what are you going to do with her?" ”

Chu Tianya smiled, "I asked someone to polish and train her, and then I will be your maid." What do you think? ”

"Huh?" Emperor Roufu was stunned, "Princess Xianfei, be my maidservant?" ”

"Yes." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "There is harmony and tranquility in the Wei Palace. If her thorns are not polished, it will ruin the atmosphere of the house. I don't care if she is the princess of Western Xia or Eastern Xia, when she comes to the Great Song Dynasty, she has to put down her stinky shelf for me! - Otherwise, let it be a slave and a slave! ”
