Chapter 41 The envoy comes to the court
"Hmph, okay, you say, the mourning family wants to see how you want to talk about the lotus!"
Su Yang pondered for a moment, organized the language, explained the events before the flower viewing banquet, and informed the Queen Mother Tuoba Hu's special situation.
"It is precisely because of the lessons of the past that the sons dare not let them go outside the palace again, moreover, Tuoba Hu's identity is special, if their family is outside the palace, it is inevitable that they will be harassed, and they can't study chess with peace of mind.
After speaking, Su Yang kowtowed to the Queen Mother again.
Seeing that she had a good attitude of admitting her mistakes, and the reasons she gave were quite pertinent, the Queen Mother didn't care much about her.
"Poof......
But at this moment, Aunt Juxiang, who was standing aside, laughed, this move made the Queen Mother a little puzzled, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins, the slave is smiling, Concubine Ye is so eloquent, she really spits lotus flowers, and in a few words, the Queen Mother will be angry. β
It's okay not to say this, as soon as she said it, the queen mother calmed down a little, and she was teased by the slightest displeasure, and turned to Su Yang who was kneeling on the ground: "If it weren't for Juxiang's reminder, the mourning family would have forgotten, since you gave a reasonable explanation, the mourning family didn't care about this matter with you, but they lived in your palace, and they made the harem restless, you have dereliction of duty, and you should still be punished." β
Seeing that the Queen Mother's expression was a little gentler, a stone in Su Yang's heart just fell, but when she heard that she would be punished, her heart was pinched again.
"Please punish the Queen Mother. β
"The mourning family will punish you to copy the Buddhist scriptures three times, and in the days before the state banquet, you will stay in the Moon Shadow Palace, don't go anywhere, prepare for the state banquet and copy the scriptures and meditate. β
Fortunately, the Queen Mother's punishment was not heavy, and Su Yang was a little relieved when she heard that it was just a grounding.
"The sons obey the will of the queen mother. β
"Go back, the mourning family is gone. β
In the past two days, Tuoba Hu's family has been noisy, disturbing the Queen Mother to have no time to rest in the afternoon, finally her ears are a little clearer at this time, and she doesn't want to rub against Su Yang any longer, so she waved her hand to signal her to retreat, and then asked Ju Xiang to help her go back to the inner room for a nap.
Su Yang returned to the Moon Shadow Palace, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, when that Aunt Juxiang first saw her, she felt that she was not good, and now that she thought about it, she could clearly get out of the whole body, and it was this aunt who repeatedly talked too much, so that the Queen Mother punished her and grounded her, it was really strange to think about it, but she had never been wronged or enmity with this person, why did this person embarrass her?
"Niangniang, what are you thinking?"
Ruo'er came up with tea, looked at Su Yang with a serious expression, seemed to be thinking about something, and couldn't help but interject and ask.
"I'm wondering why that Aunt Juxiang is making things difficult for me. β
"The slave also thinks that Aunt Juxiang seems to be deliberately embarrassing you, but this Aunt Juxiang is also an old man in the palace, and I have never heard of her being a bad person before, but she is just a little greedy. β
As soon as Ruo'er said this, Su Yang understood, how could there be any unreasonable targeting, since Ju Xiang is an old man in the palace and has no grievances with her, then the reason for making her difficult this time is that someone gave her money, as long as she thinks about this, it is not difficult to guess who is behind it.
"Hmph, it's the Ye family doing a good job again!"
Thinking of this, Su Yang hated the root of her teeth, it was okay for Ye Qinxin to be so cruel to her, and she could treat her half-sister so ruthlessly, she was really a perfect match for the ruthless and unrighteous Murong!
"Well, since the Queen Mother has not been heavily punished, it means that she still values us, let's do a good job, Ruo'er, go and bring those few pieces of materials and the utensils sent from each room, and I will make a decision today." β
"Yes!"
Seeing that Su Yang finally put her mind on business, Ruo'er was overjoyed, and hurriedly went down to get the booklet and gave it to her.
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is November, the state banquet is coming, in order to facilitate Su Yang to check the scene of the state banquet, the queen mother specially lifted her grounding, and after confirming that everything is correct, she began to welcome the arrival of the envoys of Mo Lieguo.
By mid-November, the envoys of Mo Lieguo arrived in Kyoto, Murong decided to wait at the gate of the palace with all the courtiers, and Su Yang and the queen mother, as harem ladies, stood beside him.
Everyone waited for about a stick of incense, and the envoy of Mo Lieguo came to the gate of the palace, and a man in a bearded suit got out of the carriage, stepped forward with a smile, and saluted Murong Du.
"Qiao Xun, the envoy of the Mo Lie Kingdom, see the Emperor of the Ying Kingdom. β
Su Yang looked at the man carefully, his appearance was quite delicate, but he had a beard on his face, and the bridge of his nose was much higher than that of the people of Yingguo, so he was a little more exotic, and he was also personable between his gestures.
"No courtesy, Lord Qiao came from afar, I specially set up a banquet to entertain me, and I hope that Lord Qiao will enjoy his face and enter the table. β
"Hey, the Emperor of Yingguo doesn't have to be so polite, since your country is so enthusiastic, how can you not go here? β
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Murong Jue took him to Zhaoyang Palace, the venue where the banquet was held, and the courtiers followed closely.
Entering the Zhaoyang Palace, the courtiers wanted to see how the concubine of the Ye family made a fool of herself, but who knew that the Zhaoyang Palace was very decently lit by her, from the decoration to the distribution of seats, all of which made people unable to find faults, and everyone was amazed.
"Dinnerβ"
When everyone was seated, the eunuch's sharp voice broke the silence in the hall, the musician began to play, and the dancing girl slowly appeared on the stage to dance, and the singing and dancing leveled out, which was very lively.
"Qiao is in Molieguo, and I often hear that Yingguo is a treasure land of feng shui, and the women raised are all beauties. β
Qiao Xun's eyes fell on the group of dancing girls, not leaving an inch, Su Yang saw his lustful appearance, and couldn't help but secretly laugh at him in his heart.
"Today's singing and dancing are all organized by my imperial concubine Ye and the Ministry of Rites, if the envoys like it, you can bring one or two beautiful dancing girls back. β
Murong Jue saw that he seemed to be quite interested in these dancing girls, and said generously and bluntly.
But when he heard him say that this banquet was organized by his imperial concubine, Qiao Xun's eyes were locked on Su Yang who was sitting next to Murong Jie, and this comparison found that those who danced on the stage were just vulgar fans, and this imperial concubine was a beautiful and unworldly beauty.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor, but Qiao still prefers talented women more than beauty. β
Hearing Qiao Xun's words, Murong Jue always felt that something was not quite right, and his eyes seemed to be staring at the woman sitting beside him, and he immediately understood his intentions.
"Then I'll give you a few talented girls, what do you think?"
