The banquet has been over for a long time, the night is quiet, and Zhaojun has not slept yet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The coiled bun had been untied, and the long black hair poured down like a waterfall, hanging loosely and haphazardly on his chest and waist. The fire in the house was bright, she was only wearing a thin and transparent gauze dress, and she came to the window, knelt lazily on the thick blanket, supported her arms, and the sleeves of her clothes were removed, revealing her jade arms like snow lotus, and her slender hands held her cheeks and stared blankly at the snowy ridge on the distant mountains outside the window.

Although she was smiling, calm, generous, and had the demeanor of a "side lady" at the banquet, who would have known that she was dizzy the whole time. All of this was troubled by the sentence "Mrs. Side".

It's really, so suddenly! It's really, too ...... Overbearing!

She could not forget the moment when he announced that he was the side lady, the foreign women in the palace were full of amazement, curiosity, envy, and a little jealousy. She had no idea what the expression on her face was. All she remembered was those eyes with a shallow smile, so deep that they almost sank in......

It's strange that when I think of those eyes, those eyes appear in front of me.

Zhaojun subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and then opened them-

"Ahh She let out a low cry, and her first reaction was to reach out and touch the mink fur beside her, but she felt empty.

The owner of the eyes smiled, then stood up, carrying her mink fur in his hand, and calmly walked behind her, and put it on for her with a gentle and natural movement.

At this moment, Zhaojun was completely confused as if he had drunk alcohol.

He is a liehou, and he is just a little maidservant.

"It was too late and didn't want to disturb you, but I heard Qingyan say that you haven't slept yet, so I came uninvited." Zhang Fang stretched his body, turned back to Zhaojun and sat down, apologizing very gentlemanly, "I hope it didn't scare you." ”

Zhaojun opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything.

Zhang Fang groaned slightly, and said slowly: "I can't stay in Wusun for too long, time waits for no one." ”

"Head of ......"

"Listen to me." Zhang Fangzhu instructed Yi Zhaojun to silence, "I will lead Hu and half of the cavalry guards to leave." Leave Qingyan and the two maids to take care of you, and Uncle Ban Jun as the diplomatic coordinator, and half of the cavalry guards to protect you and the safety of the Han people. Whether Gongsun Fu and Qiu Zhong can safely rescue Hanmin and meet in time is still unknown. It's hard to say whether Marquis Yoshinari can rush to Akaya City this year...... So, this winter, you have to survive it on your own. ”

Zhaojun was stunned for a long time before he said: "I'm just a little servant, these words, the head of the family should find Ban Langzhong to say." ”

"Naturally, I said to him. However, there is a tricky issue that needs to be addressed. Zhang Fang exhaled heavily, "His rank is too low, he is only a six-hundred-stone official, and it is very unfavorable to deal with the high-level of Wusun." In the same way, even if Gongsun Fu and Qiu Zhong brought a large number of Han people to converge, this problem still existed - among them, the highest rank official was only 600 stones. ”

Diplomacy, from ancient times to the present, has a naturally derived principle, that is, reciprocity. It doesn't matter if one party's official rank is low, but it can't be too low. If Zhang Fang left, and the deputy envoy Gan Yanshou failed to come in time to fill the vacancy, the highest official rank left in Chigu City would only be 600 stones—whether it was Ban Zhi or Gongsun Fu, it would only be 600 stones.

This level is probably only equivalent to the official at yesterday's banquet, and it is difficult to deal with the eunuch, let alone any marquis, captains, and generals, and Xiang Dalu doesn't even think about it. This is very detrimental to the work of the class in the future.

"Originally, there were thousands of stones, or even two thousand stones, in the envoy group to the Xiongnu this time, but they didn't want to travel far west, and they ......" Zhang Fang paused, and did not say the real reason, in fact, he didn't want his Star City to enter the sight of unreliable Han Dynasty officials, and the consequences were much more serious than the lack of equivalent diplomats.

Zhang Fang cleared his throat and continued: "So, before the arrival of Marquis Yicheng, I need someone who can bypass the normal diplomatic channels and communicate directly with the Wusun royal family and the aristocratic class. ”

Zhaojun's eyes widened in surprise, she seemed to understand what Zhang Fang meant,

Zhang Fang looked at Zhaojun and paused word by word: "Understood? You side lady, no joke. ”

At this moment, Zhaojun was completely panicked and said incoherently: "But...... The head of the family does not have His Majesty's edict or edict...... Yes! I...... The maid is saying that the maid is just a maid sent by the palace, how can she become a side lady......"

The "lady" of the Qin and Han dynasties was not like later generations, a married woman could call herself. In this era, "Madame" is a kind of knighthood, a kind of body, and the level is quite high. Even if a high-ranking official of 2,000 stones marries a wife, if there is no body from the emperor, his wife is not qualified to be called "madam".

Although the rank of the side lady is lower than that of the lady, it is not something that a liege can promise himself. Zhang Fang pointed out Zhaojun as the side lady in front of Wusun Junchen, which was quite a bold political adventure, and it was a time and space gap. Of course, this is also his certainty, and the Son of Heaven can make up this pot for him afterwards, and officially issue an edict to give Zhaojun as the side lady. As for the edicts, edicts, and the like, do the Wusun people dare to ask him to show them? Is this necessary? Wusun Junchen couldn't imagine that this Han envoy was so fat that he dared to refer to a servant girl as a side lady.

Once Zhaojun becomes the wife of the Han envoy recognized by the Wusun people, he will gain a transcendent status, and he will have the right to talk to the upper echelons of Wusun, so as to obtain more protection for the current Han people and the next batch of Han people and Han army escorts who will arrive next year. These are far from being able to be done by Ban Zhi, Gongsun Fu and others. Before the arrival of the deputy envoy Gan Yanshou, Zhaojun, the side lady, can play an irreplaceable and important role.

"You may think that I gave you this identity for the sake of the big picture." Zhang Fang got up, approached Zhaojun, and looked down at her, his eyes burning, "If you think like this, you are wrong, the overall situation is only incidental." As far as I am concerned, you, Zhaojun, are my side lady. Whether in the Western Regions or Middle-earth; Whether it's in Chigu or Chang'an. ”

Zhaojun trembled all over. It was warm in the room, and she didn't feel cold, but she just couldn't stop shivering.

"Head of the house...... I ......"

"Don't call the head of the house anymore, call Lang Jun." There was a fire beating in Zhang Fang's eyes, and he reached out to hold Zhaojun's wrist.

Zhaojun trembled like a branch and leaf in the autumn wind, his throat was so tight that he couldn't breathe, and he instinctively withdrew his hand. Maybe Zhang Fang held it too tightly, and this snatch suddenly made her cry out in pain.

This cry was mixed with panic, as if a handful of ice and snow were stuffed into Zhang Fang's mind, and he suddenly woke up.

"It's rude, I'm too...... If you think about it, I can wait. Zhang Fang took a deep breath, let go of his hand, nodded, and walked slowly towards the door.

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Fang's hand had touched the deadbolt, and when he heard the sound, he turned around in surprise, and saw a pair of beautiful and firm eyes.

"I can't wait, after tonight, maybe Lang Jun will leave...... Or maybe I'll lose my courage. ”

Zhaojun's voice gradually drifted, and the scene in front of him became hazy, and the mink Qiu could be vaguely seen. Then, the thin light gauze also slipped off the round fragrant shoulders...... (To be continued.) )
