Mei Shuang, who had endured in front of the bronze mirror for nearly an hour, finally heard the maid who had been fiddling with her head for a long time say "Okay" when she was about to fall asleep.

The towering Wangxian bun, the bright red lips, and the unmelted rouge on the cheeks, like the dancing god in the drama, the aesthetic difference is too great, and it is really a waste of cosmetics and even worse for yourself.

Meishuang sighed, "I'll do it myself." ”

At dusk, Xiao Luo, who had been busy all afternoon, came out of the Qinzheng Hall and went straight to the back garden, and saw Mei Shuang, who had just come out of the back garden, accompanied by the maid, from a distance.

Except for a light yellow gauze skirt, nothing seemed to have changed, Xiao Luo frowned unhappily, didn't she know what day it was?

However, Mei Shuang, who walked against the sunset, walked lightly, the breeze passed by, her long hair fluttered, and her clothes fluttered, like a girl from the Nine Heavens, but it also had a sense of being clean and refined.

When he was closer, Xiao Luo noticed that Meishuang did not have the same clear soup noodles as always, and her face was also made up, and there was only a faint blush on her white and flawless face, but although the makeup was not obvious, it still made people feel solemn and energetic.

Seeing the emperor patrolling her face, Mei Shuang was afraid that she would not be embarrassed by the maid's dress, so she quickly explained, "Your Majesty, this is called 'nude makeup', commonly known as 'transparent makeup'"

"Nude?" Xiao Luo frowned, this is a new term, but, to be honest, although the name is strange, it is still very attractive, fresh and natural, accompanied by a natural faint feminine fragrance, compared to the vulgar fat powder, it is indeed refreshing.

The dinner party for the foreign envoy was held in the Changqing Palace.

Changqing Hall is a place where foreign envoys have always been entertained, magnificent atmosphere, and every detail reflects the essence of Central Plains culture. At this moment, the lights are as bright as day.

I heard the melodious sound of silk and bamboo music from afar, Meishuang actually had a moment of trance, such a sound of silk and bamboo was so familiar, and then looked at the man beside him, there was a feeling of being in a different world.

When her hand was suddenly gently held, she felt like she was back on the wedding day, and she had also been held by the man in front of her

"The emperor is auspicious."

A crisp cry like a yellow oriole woke up Mei Shuang, who was still sleepwalking, and she quickly withdrew the hand held by Xiao Luo while her soul returned to her place in an instant, and when she looked at it, she was a young woman in a foreign costume in front of her, who was looking at Xiao Luo with her eyes at the moment, of course, she didn't forget to look at the woman who was being held by this heroic emperor, at first glance, there was a look of amazement.

Rou Yi was in his hand, and he was taken away coldly, Xiao Luo's palm was empty, and his heart was immediately unhappy, and he glanced sideways at Mei Shuang, who was like a thief, and snorted slightly, "Princess, please get up." ”

Princess? Mei Shuang looked at the sweet-looking princess in amazement, with a towering bun, fixed with three long beaded hairpins, and her clothes were creamy and white, embroidered with a large face-like peculiar pattern.

In fact, he looks no more than twenty, and this dressed person is immediately more than seven or eight years old, and he feels old-fashioned.

Mei Shuang nodded slightly at the princess, and then left with Xiao Luo, not noticing the thoughtful gaze behind her.

When Xiao Luo appeared in the main hall, the foreign envoys who had been invited, the ministers of the court and the central government, and several concubines led by Concubine Chen were already in place.

Of course, their eyes did not ignore the beautiful woman walking with Xiao Luo beside him.

Among the many eyes, there are surprises, envy, and novelty, and naturally they are more speculating and wondering about the identity of this woman.

If it is the queen, it is natural that she will not dress so simply, if she is a bystander, how can she accompany this emperor in and out with the light?

As Xiao Luo walked towards the throne in the middle of the Changqing Palace, Mei Shuang only felt as if she was being placed in the spotlight of five hundred watts, and her mouth was dry and the corners of her eyes twitched slightly in a short distance.

Still, in her afterglow, she noticed something unusual about the gaze coming from one direction. She rolled her eyes slightly, and made eye contact with the owner of the gaze.

The other party seemed to realize that she would definitely look at it, and when she saw Mei Shuang's eyes, there was a hint of meaning in the corners of her lips.

At this glance, Mei Shuang's eyes flashed, why is this person so familiar?

Just looking at Mei Shuang, she looked away, because Xiao Luo had already stopped, turned around and sat on the dragon chair that belonged to him, and she was led by Gonggong Li to the first vacated position on Xiao Luo's right side and lower head.

At this sitting, everyone present understood that even if this woman did not wear the clothes of the queen of the Great Qin Kingdom, her status was equal to that of the queen, and even she was the queen.

Meishuang didn't feel anything wrong when she sat down, but she felt that the position was too far forward and she was a little unaccustomed. Especially in front of everyone, she is still a little uncomfortable.

But once she comes, she comforts herself and sits down while seeing her next concubine Chen, and her heart flickered, how can her position be higher than the most advanced Concubine Chen in the palace, and then understood the meaning of Xiao Luo's words yesterday.

Completely unprepared!

Meishuang sat down with a wry smile, but raised her eyes to meet the man opposite.

This time, she remembered, wasn't this the man she met on the boat back to the palace with Nangong Nuo and met at the bow of the boat? At that time, he was a lupine scarf, elegant and elegant, but today's clothing style is almost the same as the princess just now, it seems that they are together.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the main person to be invited to the banquet tonight, a foreign envoy!

The other party obviously recognized her and smiled at her.

Mei Shuang's heart jumped, it must be inappropriate to greet a strange man on this occasion, so she simply pretended not to know the other party and lowered her eyes.

The sound of silk and bamboo has stopped, and Xiao Luo first delivered a speech as the king of a country.

This is the first time Mei Shuang has heard the official speech, and she didn't expect this Xiao Luo to be so eloquent, coupled with his lack of anger and self-authority, calm and powerful, sonorous words, funny and dignified, so that the foreign envoys present who can understand Chinese nod frequently, full of smiles.

Mei Shuang was also fascinated by it, and sighed in her heart, the beauty of the Chinese language is really intoxicating.

Suddenly, Xiao Luo said, "I know that there are some of the envoys of the Yamatai Kingdom here who do not understand Chinese, so I will order the courtiers to truthfully translate my words to you. ”

Yamadai? Meishuang only felt her eyelids jump, Nima! Today, Xiao Luo let himself come to this banquet, it's pure cheating!

Before, she didn't worry a lot about fighting against Yamatai in the east, but she didn't expect that the people from Yamatai were less than a few feet away.

I couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately the other party smiled at me just now and didn't respond, but don't let the other party recognize you.

When she was stunned and glad, a courtier standing behind Xiao Luo translated Xiao Luo's words, and the proficient Donglai Chinese made her look sideways, take a closer look, I go, isn't that Shi Jieyu in men's clothes?

After the speech, Xiao Luo picked up his glass and invited everyone to drink together.

Mei Shuang picked up the wine glass, covered her sleeves widely, but in the afterglow, she saw that the envoy opposite actually raised the wine glass at herself.

I'll go! I'm trying my best to pretend I don't know you, Nima, and you still have to pretend to know me.

Mei Shuang drank the wine in the wine glass indignantly, but she didn't expect to be in a hurry, this wine was still a little spicy, Mei Shuang barely swallowed it while her face was flushed, the key was to catch a glimpse of a smile on the corner of the other party's lips.

Putting down the cup, Xiao Luo said with a smile, "An Riyan, the special envoy of the Evil Horse Taiguo, how do you feel about coming to my Zishuo City this time?" ”

An Riyan got up, his eyes were calm, and he said in fluent Chinese, "I have heard that the Great Qin State is vast and densely populated, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the emperor of the Great Qin State governs the country well, and the people of the world are also blessed." Browsing the capital in the past few days, I was deeply shocked, and it can really be described as a beautiful scenery-" At this point, there was a slight pause, and his eyes inadvertently swept over Meishuang, "People are more beautiful." ”

Although the gaze was fleeting on his face, the deep and indescribable meaning made Meishuang's eyelids jump, and the spoon in his hand almost fell.

Her palms tightened, her eyes lowered, and the gentle clenching of the spoon did not escape Xiao Luo's eyes, and he nodded.

An Riyan sat down, and the young princess beside him was not to be outdone, she also stood up, and actually pointed her head at Mei Shuang, although she was full of smiles, she was articulate, and she didn't knock at all in fluent Chinese, "I have heard that there are beauties in the Central Plains, and I have to see the emperor's concubines, all of them are like flowers and jade, and I have to see the people who accompany the emperor, and I am even more shocked, but I don't know if the emperor can have the honor to know?" ”

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Meishuang along with the words of the foreign princess.

Mei Shuang only felt a heat on her face, and the feeling of being in the spotlight came again, she was sitting on pins and needles, and her eyes could only turn to Xiao Luo on the dragon chair.

In her heart, she was so anxious that she couldn't jump up, she was afraid that Xiao Luo would say "This is my queen" or "This is my future queen", all in all, no matter how Xiao Luo introduced her, as long as he didn't mention "queen".

As if Xiao Luo didn't hear it, he just picked up the teacup in front of him and took a slow sip of tea, then gently put down the teacup, turned his eyes to Mei Shuang, but said in his mouth, "Princess Ziqing, do you know the queen of my Great Qin Kingdom?" ”

"Queen?" Princess Ziqing frowned, looked at Mei Shuang, and didn't seem to believe it, "I have heard that the Great Qin Kingdom is rich, why is the queen so shabby?" ”

As soon as Princess Ziqing spoke, many people on the spot gasped, and even a few courtiers were about to roar at this rude foreign girl, does Nima understand the rules?

Even An Riyan frowned when he heard this, and expressed his dissatisfaction with Princess Ziqing, Princess Ziqing sat down unconvinced, but she was wronged in her heart, from the first time she saw her, she fell in love with this heroic emperor of the Great Qin State at first sight, but she didn't expect him to actually hold hands with this woman, she was really uncomfortable to death.

However, some people were happy to listen to the words of this princess who didn't know how to be polite, such as Concubine Chen and others who were sitting under Meishuang.
