Chapter 3 He was born with a good skin, but he was a prodigal son

"It's not early, let's go to the banquet with the mourning family, the emperor and the minister of civil and military affairs should have arrived at this time." The Queen Mother looked at the warblers and Yanyan in the garden, the swallows were thin and fat, each with its own merits, and was very satisfied.

She wanted to draft for the emperor several times and recruit show girls into the palace, but she was stopped by the emperor. Today, taking advantage of the birthday banquet, we must select a few women for the emperor to enrich the harem and spread out for the royal family.

"Daiyun, has the third lady of Xiao Guogong's Mansion arrived? The mourning family hasn't seen this girl for several years, but they miss it tightly. The Queen Mother stopped and looked at Princess Daiyun who was serving beside her.

"When I arrive, Daiyun will call Miss Three." Princess Daiyun smiled gently, "I know that the queen mother misses the third miss, the third miss, just waiting behind!" ”

A moment later, Princess Daiyun stepped forward with a woman in a long aqua blue dress, although the woman was not alluring, but she was delicate and lovely, and her eyes were very expressive.

When the woman saw the Queen Mother, she bowed in a proper manner, "The courtier Xiao Shiyu has seen the Queen Mother." ”

"Good boy, get up quickly, let the mourning family take a good look." The Queen Mother personally helped Lime up, took Lime by the hand, walked in front of everyone, and looked at Lime with loving eyes, "After so many years, I have also become a big girl, come, talk to the mourning family." ”

Fang Han has no heart for the harem over the years, and the Queen Mother is anxious about it. Now it seems that the Queen Mother has put her abacus on her, the fake Xiao Shiyu.

When they arrived at the banquet, Fang Han and the civil and military officials were already seated.

Lime saluted with the ladies and found her seat and sat down. Feeling the gaze that had been falling on him, Lime raised his head and looked at the owner of that gaze, it was Fang Han.

Seeing her looking at him, Fang Han smiled and nodded to her. This smile did not fascinate his sweetheart as he expected, but it made the other nobles feel ape.

Lime wanted to retract her gaze, but she bumped into another gaze, which was the second brother Xiao Shiqian.

Thinking of the urgent matters in the Japanese army a few days ago, Lime cast an inquiring look, and after seeing Xiao Shiqian's signal that everything was fine, he turned back with confidence and said to Manxue, "Since the second brother is safe, he will withdraw the spies." ”

Xiao Shiqian was in a hurry that day, Lime was not at ease, and sent a spy to find out the news, and now that Xiao Shiqian has returned safely, the spy is no longer necessary.

Everyone sat down, and when the auspicious time came, the shrill voice of the great eunuch Zhang Jian resounded through the hall, "The birthday banquet has officially begun!" ”

A beautiful dancing girl danced hard in the hall, and although the dance was beautiful, it failed to attract the attention of Lime.

Lime sipped her tea, thinking about something else.

According to the rules, fireworks will be lit in the palace tonight for the Queen Mother's birthday, and everyone's attention will be on the fireworks, so naturally no one will notice whether there is a person missing, Lime just wants to take this opportunity to go to Lang Huan.

Lang Huan is a secret place of Su Yan State, and the royal family is all in it.

Over the years, Lime has struggled to find out the truth, but has received few clues. Now that he has the opportunity to go to Lang Huan to explore, even if it is a risky move, Lime has to give it a try.

The eunuch's shrill voice sounded again, and the long tail note pulled Lime back from his contemplation, "Xuanxi Desert envoy and the king are here." ”

As soon as the words fell, a man in brocade came slowly from outside the hall, followed by a waiter, the waiter was holding a book in his hand, the man stepped forward and saluted, and said, "The envoy of the Western Desert, Xuan Nanjun, visited Emperor Suyan and the Queen Mother. The minister of the Mo Dynasty congratulated the Empress Dowager Suyan on her birthday. This is the gift list for the birthday of the Queen Mother in the Western Desert, please see Emperor Suyan. ”

Hearing this voice, Meng Ya was suddenly startled, and when she saw the appearance of the envoy clearly, Meng Ya's face immediately became very ugly. She lowered her head, clenched her sleeves, and her palms were covered with fine beads of sweat.

"It's a long way to go, and the king has worked hard, so please hurry up." Fang Han stretched out his right hand and gave Xuan Nanjun a seat, "The royal king, please come to the table." ”

The little eunuch beside Fang Han had already presented the gift list to the big eunuch Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian got Fang Han's signal, opened the gift list, and read it aloud, "A pair of Hetian jasper, two pairs of high-grade Beihai black ink pearls......"

The great eunuch thought for a long time, and Lime's thoughts drifted out of the clouds. The next process was the same, and they summoned the prince of Shuochu, Hongxia Yike, and the deputy city lord of Xiaoyue City, the son of Wuji.

The royal king of the Western Desert, Xuan Nanjun, is solemn and calm; Shuochu's prince Hongxia Yike is very handsome and slightly evil; The deputy city lord of Xiaoyue City, the traceless son, was fluttering in white clothes, and he didn't seem to be stained with red dust.

These three are the best talents in all countries, which naturally attracts the attention of the nobles.

However, Lime's gaze was attracted by a man at the end of the Shuochu envoy, although he was dressed lightly, he could not hide his heroic spirit and military spirit, and his body was long and jade, and his aura was magnificent, which was very different from the lazy and evil charm of Hongxia Yike, the prince of Shuochu.

Lime recalled the list of Shuo Chu's envoys and felt that this man with a different temperament should be Qiu Chulin, Shuo Chu's general.

Lime retracted his gaze that stayed on Qiu Chulin, and carefully looked at the three of Xuan Nanjun, Hongxia Yike and Liu Wuxian, these three people are not things in the pool, and they must have something special to represent their own country when they go to other countries.

And this Liu Wuxian seemed to have some friendship with his senior brother, and Lime couldn't help but look at him twice.

When Lime retracted his gaze, he realized that he seemed to be too focused just now, and hurriedly looked around, but fortunately, the eyes of all the nobles were glued to the three of them at this time, which did not make Lime's eyes look abrupt.

Liu Wuxian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and glanced at the woman in the blue dress who looked the three of them up and down several times.

Her eyes, nose, nose and heart are very quiet, this woman is really interesting.

"Xuan Jinnan's envoy Xiuyi Prince is here!" The shrill voice resounded through the hall again.

Hearing Xiu Yi's name, Lime was slightly stunned, remembering some of the prince's past.

When he was a child, he worked as a proton in Suyan, and only a few years after returning to China, he uprooted the prince and his henchmen by thunderous means, and entered the East Palace soon after.

Thinking of this, Lime couldn't help but wonder what this world-famous cultivator looked like, so he glanced at the person who was walking towards the hall at the entrance of the hall.

The moment she saw the man, Lime's originally curious gaze suddenly sharpened, and she stared at Xiu Yi as if she wanted to make a hole in him.

It was him, Lime frowned, took a deep breath, and pretended to look away indifferently.

What kind of calculation did he have? He is the crown prince of Jinnan, why did he visit Sakura Pavilion late at night? Why are you so interested in the affairs of the deep valley? He knew that Xiao Shiyu went to Yuangu ten years ago, so what else did he know?

Just as Lime was distracted, Xiu Yi had already entered the table, and the birthday banquet continued.

Through the dancing beauty in the center of the main hall, Xiuyi's gaze fell on the aqua blue figure, her calm appearance now was very different from the fierceness when she looked at herself just now.

"Today is the birthday of the mourning family, and all the Qing families gathered together to celebrate the birthday of the mourning family, and the mourning family is very happy." The Queen Mother opened her mouth with a smile, and at the same time raised the cup in her hand and said, "Our Suyan has had a smooth wind and rain in the past few years, and the country and the people are safe, which is really blessed by the heavens and blessed by the ancestors." But it is also extremely important for the people to work hard all day long for the country and the people, and today with this birthday banquet, the mourning family respects the family of the secretary of the family. ”

"Wait for the Empress Dowager." The ministers raised their glasses and thanked them in unison.

Next, the ministers attended the birthday celebration, competing for birthday gifts, and staggered planning, so it was not lively.

"Now that countries have friendly exchanges, the world is peaceful, and the emperor does not need to worry too much about state affairs. The mourning family looked at the imperial city for a long time and had not seen a happy event, and it was very deserted. What does the emperor think? The Queen Mother finally found an opportunity to mention the marriage to Fang Han.

She looked at Fang Han, and then at the many noble ladies in the hall, thinking to herself, there are so many outstanding young ladies from the family, there can always be one or two who can get into his eyes.

As soon as the Queen Mother said this, the nobles in the hall suddenly changed their appearances, some sat upright, some scratched their heads and made gestures, some dared to stare at the emperor, and some were timid to look at the emperor quietly.

Lime also raised his head very appropriately, looked at Fang Han with affection, and just when he looked at him, he withdrew his gaze like a frightened rabbit.

"What the queen mother said, the sons also thought it was true, this huge imperial city should be filled in the pile." Looking at her with a slightly blushing face, Fang Han smiled.

What if you forget, I will use the rest of my life to make it up to you.

Hearing Fang Han's words, the happiest person was the Queen Mother, and the emperor finally relented.

She followed Fang Han's line of sight, and when she saw the aqua blue figure, the Queen Mother felt a fierce pride in her heart, this time she was the right treasure.

The Queen Mother just wanted to open her mouth to strike while the iron was hot, but was preempted by a voice.

"Emperor Su Yan, Queen Mother, I also have this intention. Nan Jun came this time, firstly, to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, and secondly, to ask Emperor Su Yan for a family affair. Xuan Nanjun got up, came to the center of the main hall, saluted, and continued, "Ximo and Suyan are neighbors, and for many years, the two countries have abided by their duties and not invaded each other. Therefore, although the two countries have crossed borders, they have been peaceful for decades, and the two countries are peaceful. It is the right way for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and for the country to recuperate. Today, Nanjun sent Su Yan to make peace with Emperor Su Yan on behalf of the King of the Western Desert, and I am willing to continue peace with Su Yan for another hundred years. I don't know what Emperor Su Yan wants? ”

Fang Han smiled bitterly, this Cheng Biting Jin is really good at picking the time, but the diplomatic relations between the two countries are a major matter, how can he be lazy, after thinking about Xuan Nanjun's words before and after, Fang Han said, "The peaceful intersection between the two states is a matter of everyone's expectation, and I also have the intention of harmony." It's just that I don't know who in the Western Desert Sect is close to my Su Yan? ”

"Today, Nanjun sent Su Yan as an envoy, and the person who is close to Su Yan is naturally my Xuan Nanjun." Hearing that Fang Han also had the intention of being friendly, Xuan Nanjun smiled, "Please rest assured that Emperor Su Yan has been enshrined for many years, but he has not yet had a wife, and the princess who is close to Nanjun is allowed to be the concubine." ”

"It's so good, the prestige of the King of the Western Desert is known to the whole world, and it is perfect to marry my Princess Suyan, and the door is right." Pointing to the two princesses not far away, Fang Han said, "These are my two princesses of Su Yan, the eldest princess Fang Daiyun, and the second princess Fang Mengya." ”

"Eldest Princess, Second Princess." Xuan Nanjun turned around and saluted the two princesses that Fang Han was referring to.

"Daiyun, Mengya has seen His Royal Highness." The two princesses got up and saluted Xuan Nanjun at the same time.

Glancing at the princess who was even trembling in her voice and forcibly saluting, Xuan Nanjun raised the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.

"Of the two sisters, which one does the king like more?" Fang Han withdrew his hand and said with a smile.

"Since Emperor Su Yan has made a marriage contract with my Ximo, there is no hurry to get married. Namjoon still doesn't know the temperament of the two princesses, so it's better to let Namjoon stay in Suyan for a while longer, get to know each other with the two princesses, and it's not too late to make a decision. Does Emperor Su Yan think it is appropriate? Xuan Nanjun bowed to Fang Han and said.

"What the king said is true, but I have not thought it through." Fang Han nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty Emperor Xie Suyan." Xuan Nanjun saluted again before returning to the table.

"In this way, it is a happy event, but this imperial city is even more deserted, Your Majesty, do you see if it is ......" The Queen Mother spoke again, for fear of missing Fang Han's mouth that was finally relieved, but she was interrupted before she finished speaking.

"A happy event is naturally not enough for the Queen Mother, so how about filling in another happy event?" His gaze swept over the lime, Xiu Yi got up and came to the center of the main hall, and said, "As the king said, I, Jinnan, am also willing to continue peace with Su Yan for a hundred years." I don't know what Emperor Su Yan and Queen Mother think? ”

Fang Han frowned slightly, but it only took a moment for him to regain his expression.

Jin Nan and Su Yan had a conflict, and they almost met each other, otherwise there would be no such thing as repairing Su Yan to be a proton. After Jinnan excavated gold mines, the national strength developed rapidly, and Su Yan had to send protons back to China, and the peace of more than ten years has been a miracle.

And today, Prince Jinnan actually proposed to continue the peace for a hundred years. It was a good thing, but Fang Han always felt uneasy in his heart.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious?" After thinking about it, Fang Han asked cautiously.

"Nature." Xiu Yi stood in the center of the main hall, holding a folding fan in his hand, carefully opening it, and rubbing it carefully.

No one in the hall cared about Xiuyi's move, only Xiao Shizhi stared at the fan, narrowing his eyes dangerously.
