Although because of the disappearance of the Queen Mother, the emotions in Emperor Zhengde's heart were very unstable.

However, when facing the Izumo country's envoy Karasuma below, Emperor Zhengde did not show the slightest strange look.

After all, it is the person who sits on the dragon chair, and it is no problem to do it at the critical moment.

Looking at Karasuma with deep eyes, Emperor Zhengde chuckled and asked, "Is it good for Princess Lixiu of your country to come in?" It's been a long journey along the way! ”

Karasuma arched his hand and replied, "The princess is all right, please rest assured that His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Speaking of this, Karasuma couldn't help but glance up at Emperor Zhengtoku, and then he continued: "Karasuma came to meet His Majesty the Emperor, not only to thank Your Majesty, but also to bring Princess Lixiu of our country to bring a few words to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Tell me about it!"

Emperor Zhengde nodded slowly and said.

"Princess Lixiu came to make peace with Daming this time, and traveled a long way to Jingjing, not wanting to stay in the state guesthouse, but wanting to live in the palace."

Looking up slightly at the look on Emperor Zhengde's face, Karasuma continued to speak: "Princess Lixiu came to the Ming Dynasty this time, and she rejected the Fusang Kingdom in advance, because she envied the etiquette of the Great Ming Dynasty.

I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can marry the princess as soon as possible and canonize him as the imperial concubine, and I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will not disappoint the princess, otherwise I am afraid that ......"

"I'm afraid of how?!"

Emperor Shotoku's brow furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice after Karasuma's words.

"The princess is still young, I'm afraid she will regret not agreeing to Fusang's proposal!"

Karasuma arched his hand and replied in a meaningful voice.

Hearing these words in their ears, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the Heart Cultivation Hall changed.

This Karasuma vainly tried to use the small country of Fusang to force the Great Ming Dynasty to compromise, how could Emperor Zhengde and Zhou Chen and others endure it?

Suddenly, Zhou Chen's eyes flashed, as if he remembered something.

Now that the empress position of Emperor Zhengde has not been decided, the real master has not yet been determined in the harem, and this reason is completely enough to prevaricate the envoy of the Izumo Kingdom in front of him.

Immediately, I saw Zhou Chen suddenly say in a voice on the side: "Your Majesty, now that all the show girls from all over the country have not yet entered Beijing, Your Majesty's wedding is also completely prepared."

In the case that the queen's throne is undecided, I am afraid that taking the lead in canonizing the imperial concubine will violate the ancestral system. ”

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, a bright light appeared in Emperor Zhengde's eyes, and he instantly found a solution to the trouble in front of him in his heart.

However, the expression on Emperor Zhengde's face did not change in the slightest, and he continued to smile indifferently and said, "The envoy also heard it?" It's not that I don't plan to marry Princess Lixiu of your country as soon as possible, but because I never established the rules of the imperial concubine before the empress.

Of course, in order to show the importance I attach to your country, and to demonstrate the brotherhood between the Cloud Kingdom and my Great Ming, I have allowed Princess Lixiu of your country to enter the palace on the same day as my queen. ”

Emperor Zhengde's words directly blocked all the things that Karasuma wanted to say in the future.

For a moment, the look on Karasuma's face couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

But where did Karasuma mean to give up his original plan? He still tried to ask Emperor Zhengde: "Then can you let our princess Lixiu come first to greet the queen mother of your country?!" ”

As soon as the words in Karasuma's mouth fell, Cao Zhengchun on the side vetoed it in time: "No, according to the rules of the palace, before the show girl enters the palace, there will be a female official Shangyi who will train the etiquette in advance."

Since Princess Lixiu of your country is planning to marry with Han rites, then the rules must not be missing.

Later, our family will invite the female official Shangyi to dress the princess of your country, and when the queen mother chooses the show girl, Princess Lixiu can enter the palace together to meet her. ”

You must know that the Queen Mother's Yijia disappeared under Cao Zhengchun's nose, and before the Queen Mother was found, how could Cao Zhengchun let people go to see the Queen Mother?

Previously, Cao Zhengchun was still thinking about refusing the Izumo Kingdom and the pro-embassy to enter the palace to ask for peace because of the Empress Dowager's ill body.

Right now, Zhou Chen directly gave him a reason to fit the Daming etiquette system, and he naturally wouldn't miss it.

The unwilling Karasuma wanted to continue to say something, but unfortunately Emperor Zhengde waved his hand and interrupted him directly, only to hear Emperor Zhengde's voice say indifferently: "Okay, the envoy can go to the state guesthouse to rest."

Three days later, it will be the day when the first show girls will enter the palace, and the princess of your country will be able to come together to greet the queen mother. ”

Speaking of which, Emperor Zhengde glanced at Zhou Chen, Zhu Wuzhi and Cao Zhengchun without a trace, and his purpose was naturally self-evident, he had to find the Empress Dowager's Yijia within three days.

Although Karasuma was very dissatisfied in his heart, Emperor Zhengtoku's words were all said to this point, and he could only obey in the end.

"In this case, the foreign minister will take Princess Lixiu into the palace on time three days later, and the foreign minister will retire first."

Reluctantly, he bowed to Emperor Shotoku, and Karasuma then withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Hall.

After a moment passed, and after confirming that Karasuma had completely left, Emperor Zhengde's eyes turned to Zhou Chen, Zhu Wuzhi, and Cao Zhengchun.

Slowly sitting up straight, Emperor Zhengde said to the three of them in a stern tone: "What Fang Caizhen said, the three of you have already heard it clearly!"

I don't care what the three of you do, I only give you three days.

Three days later, before Izumo Kuni and the pro-mission entered the palace to say goodbye, I had to see the queen mother return to the palace safe and sound! ”

Faced with the deadline set by the emperor, Zhou Chen, Zhu Wuzhi and Cao Zhengchun naturally did not dare to have the slightest doubt, and the three of them all took over the will.

"Alright, let's go down and do things!"

Immediately, Emperor Zhengde closed his eyes a little tiredly, and with a wave of his hand, he drove Zhou Chen, Zhu Wuzhi, and Cao Zhengchun out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

And Zhou Chen, Zhu Wuzhi and Cao Zhengchun did not stay in the palace too long, the three of them walked out of the Chengtian Gate without saying a word, and then returned to their respective forces to make arrangements.

After all, Emperor Zhengde had already set a deadline for the three of them.

Three days later, if they couldn't invite the Queen Mother back to the palace, the fate that awaited the three of them would definitely not be much better.
