Chapter 643: A Scene
Of course, none of this is known.
"This princess Zhenzhen shouldn't make such a fuss no matter how much she messes around," after a moment of silence, Zhen Shi said from afar, "Causing trouble again and again, do you really think that Your Majesty is a good-natured person?" ”
That's right. Qiao Ran smiled, her eyes moved away from the Hu Renerlang, and fell back on the real princess in the palace.
At this time, she was taking a few sips on the wine cup in the hand of "Orchid" while looking at the officials in the palace unscrupulously.
Seeing that Princess Zhenzhen's eyes were about to look here, two voices sounded behind her at the same time.
"Miss Qiao (adult), I'll hide."
As soon as the words fell, Li Zhao and Xu Hexiu hid behind her at the same time.
Qiao Ran: "......"
It was only today that she realized that she was so majestic and reliable that the two of them hid behind her at the same time.
At this time, Princess Zhenzhen's gaze had already fallen on the girl, and a trace of coldness flashed in Princess Zhenzhen's eyes at the girl's calm eyes, and after confronting her for a while, she moved away again as if nothing happened.
Sometimes, a look of hostility is all it takes.
Qiao Ran sighed, fortunately she didn't care about the hostility of the real princess, but the two behind her...... Qiao Ran turned his head to look at the two of them, and was facing the two of them who breathed a sigh of relief.
"Scared?" The girl raised her eyebrows and said.
Li Zhao was still a little hesitant, but Xu Hexiu nodded unabashedly, looking apprehensive: "We men are not so casual, and some of them are afraid of being taken by random people!" ”
Li Zhao, who was on the side, glanced at Xu Hexiu and explained: "There are always some unnecessary troubles, and if you can avoid them, you can avoid them." ”
"You two look pretty confident!" Zhen Shiyuan, who was dozing in front of him, always woke up at a very timely time, he glanced back at Xu Hexiu and Li Zhao, and said, "Compared to that Hu Erlang, you are still a little worse, so you don't have to worry about it at all." ”
I don't know if I was comforting them or mocking them.
Qiao Ran pursed her lips and held back a smile, and said to Li Zhao: "I will be careful of Princess Zhenzhen, the banquet is about to start, Li Sangongzi, you go back!" ”
She was still familiar with Ran Wen, the secretary of the ministry, because after seeing Ran Wen looking back at the officials behind her and looking this way, she reminded Li Zhao.
Li Zhao naturally also saw the gaze cast by Shangfeng, and did not insist any longer, only said "Na Zhao will come back to see Miss Qiao next time" and left.
Li Zhao left very simply, but as soon as Li Zhao left, Xu Hexiu, who had nothing to do, was a little dissatisfied: "Do you think he will rely on it and not leave?" I didn't expect it to go so fast. ”
After all, every time you see "Master Joe"? This surnamed Li ran over with a happy face, looking overjoyed? Rely on the appearance of not leaving.
"The Li family, this San Lang, is not a fool? " In this regard, Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but reach out and knock Xu Hexiu's head? said helplessly, "How can it be a fool to be picked by Ran Wen's old fox?" Learn more! ”
This kid surnamed Xu is really not stupid when it comes to talking about his head? Is it too silly only sometimes? It's not shrewd enough!
Just as he was thinking like this, a hand reached out from the slanted thorn, secretly picked up a plate of honeydew melons on the table in front of him, and then carefully removed it.
Zhen Shiyuan's eyes followed the direction of the melon's departure? followed all the way to the case of the girl behind him? Seeing that it was discovered by Shangfeng, the girl didn't care, only smiled, and then took the initiative to pick up a piece of honeydew melon and handed it over, saying, "Adult? Do you eat? ”
A good trick to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, obviously his honeydew melon? After stealing it, he still asked him so confidently if he wanted to eat it! Zhen Shiyuan was silent and took the melon expressionlessly.
Compare it to the one in front of you? The stupid boy who was still in a daze didn't know why it looked so much more pleasing to the eye.
Therefore, it can be seen that silly is still very likable.
A piece of honeydew melon in the belly? The drums of the imperial city rang out one after another.
The feast is about to begin.
Qiao Ran hurriedly picked out two melons, and then returned the melon plate to Zhen Shiyuan's table? The little ones in front of her and Xu Hexiu are smaller than Zhen Shiyuan? After a while, it would be bad if the palace maid had nowhere to put it when she served the food.
Looking at the melon that returned to him again, Zhen Shiyuan's eyebrows jumped, but this was no longer the time to accuse her, with the palace maids who entered from outside the hall in turn with the plates, His Majesty was walking towards this side from a distance with the crowd of people.
Everyone in the hall had already gotten up at this time, Qiao Ran reached out and wiped the melon juice from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and stood up together, mingling in a group of officials, even inconspicuous.
As His Majesty stepped into the hall, the sound of "Long live" in the hall sounded.
After the mountain shouted long live, with a "all the secretaries are flat", Qiao Ran followed the officials to stand up again, and then looked at His Majesty with everyone, as well as the people who followed behind her.
Not all of these people are new faces, there are still many familiar faces, such as the female official Xue who walks in front of the emperor all the year round, such as the Great Heavenly Master who once had a one-sided relationship, and for example, after Qiao Ran's gaze swept over the female official Xue and the Great Heavenly Master, it fell on Zhang Xie later.
And Zhang Xie also suddenly raised his head at this time and looked over here, passing through a glance of the ministers, which made Qiao Ran stunned, looking at the smile in Zhang Jie's eyes, she instinctively hooked the corners of her lips.
So, isn't this pair of eyes considered to be a heart-to-heart?
After looking at each other for a moment, the two looked away in unison, Zhang Xie looked ahead again, and Qiao Ran's gaze fell on the group of people behind Zhang Jie.
This is a group of aliens who are clearly not Han Chinese.
Of course, today's Great Chu is tolerant of all things and comes from all directions, and it is not strange to see people from the countries of the Western Regions in Chang'an City, in Luoma City, and even Guozijian, and the people have long seen it and will not look at it with a special eye.
Qiao Ran didn't realize that she had him, after all, she had been in Chang'an for less than a year, and it was the first time she had participated in a palace banquet. But it was obviously unexpected for the officials who had participated in the palace banquet many times, and even been able to participate in the palace banquet every year, so that they got up, and before His Majesty could speak, a slight noise sounded in the hall.
Obviously, at this time, many officials couldn't help but ask each other.
However, His Majesty did not explain anything about this, but after sitting down on the dragon chair, he said, "Take a seat."
Qiao Ran sat down with a group of officials.
It was only at this time that Zhen Shiyuan, who had been holding back his words for a long time, tilted his head and said to Qiao Ran and Xu He behind him: "It's not strange that there are aliens in Chang'an City, but there are aliens at the palace banquet in Dachu, especially the aliens who have been personally led into the palace by His Majesty It seems that it is the first time!" ”
Therefore, I don't know who these aliens who were personally led into the palace by His Majesty were, and where they came from.
This is to blame them Han people, in fact, it is the same as the Hu people look at the Han people, and the appearance of the Han people is not very different, and the Hu people sometimes can't tell the difference.
And this group of Hu people probably wanted to participate in the palace banquet to show respect, and they also deliberately changed into Han robes, which made it even more difficult to distinguish from the different skirts.
It wasn't until the ministers took their seats that His Majesty lightly introduced the identities of those people: "Give a seat to a few friends of Wusun!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the noise that had only dissipated in the hall began again!
Your Majesty said it was Wusun! Wusun!
Xu Hexiu didn't miss every word His Majesty said, and when he heard His Majesty mention the word "Wusun", he hurriedly pushed Qiao Ran and asked, "What does Wusun mean?" "Is it one of the Western Regions? How did the mention of "Wusun" make such an uproar resound in the hall?
Qiao Ran looked at Zhen Shiyuan, who snorted coldly in front of him and was not ready to explain, so he had to say to Xu He: "There is more than one kind of Huns with yellow faces. ”
She knows this, although most of the Huns are yellow-faced in the eyes of ordinary Han people, and they are more rough and tough, but in fact, not all Huns are like this.
In the process of the earliest Hun ancestors fighting around to "attack Donghu in the east and chase Wusun in the west", there were defeated Donghu and Wusun people to join them, so although most of the Xiongnu looked yellow-faced, but these Wusun people in front of them were white-faced, high-nosed and deep-eyed.
Compared with the appearance of a rough yellow face, this is obviously a lot more "beautiful".
It was precisely because of such a delicate and beautiful appearance that when the few aliens entered the palace at the beginning, the ministers present only thought that they were envoys of a small country among the countries of the Western Regions, and did not associate them with the Xiongnu.
But His Majesty's sentence "Wusun" has obviously confirmed the identity of these Huns.
So, these "beautiful and beautiful" people are actually Huns? Many officials suddenly became excited. Most of the Han people had no good impression of the Huns, who often made trouble on the border and plundered the people of Great Chu.
In particular, the Xiongnu royal family tried to plunder the hinterland of Great Chu again and again, Chen Shan rebelled before, and now the Xiongnu Shan Yu has led troops to attack, resulting in the death of the people of several cities. Therefore, for the people of Great Chu, the Xiongnu are the sworn enemies that cannot be avoided, and they are the culprits of countless sons and daughters guarding the frontier and unable to return home.
At this time, such a culprit actually appeared in the court? On the spot, an official couldn't help but come out and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, why are there Huns in the palace banquet?" ”
Of course, there are good people and bad people in the world, just as the Han people are not all good people, and the Xiongnu are not all bad people. But on top of such a palace banquet, why did His Majesty lead a few Huns to participate?
In this regard, His Majesty opened his mouth and explained lightly: "The Xiongnu Wusun tribe has been excluded for many years, and now the small patriarch of the Wusun tribe who is about to succeed to the throne has been lost in the ministry......"
Hearing this, Qiao Ran instinctively said "not good".
At this time, her body's reaction was even faster than her mind's reaction, and she immediately turned her gaze to the Hu Ren'er who was being taken by Princess Zhenzhen's male disguise not far away.
The same high nose and deep eyes as the "Wusun" people who entered the hall, and at this time, the Hu Ren Erlang no longer lowered his head and was uneasy, but looked at the Wusun people who were also shocked and got up.
His Majesty also seemed to notice the movement here, stopped, and did not speak again, but the Wusun people could no longer hold back, and opened their mouths to say a few words of Xiongnu dialect that most of the people in the hall could not understand, and then ran over and hugged the Hu Ren Erlang with emotion.
The ministers in the palace looked at this stubble quietly, and only after the Wusun people were excited did they turn their heads to His Majesty again, and said in Chinese, which was not very fluent: "Thank Your Majesty for finding the little patriarch of my Wusun tribe." ”
Compared with the excitement of a few Wusun people, the little patriarch seemed to have a strange expression, turned his head to look at the real princess who was about to drip water with a heavy face, and then trembled, and hurriedly grabbed the corners of the clothes of the Wusun people, and was led back to their seats by the clansmen.
In response to the reaction of Princess Zhenzhen and the little patriarch of Wusun, Qiao Ran instinctively twisted her eyebrows and looked up at His Majesty at the top.
The heavy curtain covered most of His Majesty's face, and naturally she couldn't guess the mood of the Son of Heaven, and after a moment of silence, His Majesty said, "Let's have a feast!" ”
All this seems to be just a small episode before the banquet begins, and the people who can perform at the palace banquet are the best people in Chang'an City, whether it is singing, dancing or juggling, it is very exciting.
However, at this time, in the face of such a wonderful song and dance that could not be seen outside, Qiao Ran was a little absent-minded.
She is also not the only one who is absent-minded, and there are only a few people in the hall who can watch singing and dancing without any guilt in their hearts at this time.
"How can this Wusun people look for the patriarch like a joke?" Xu Hexiu finally couldn't help it, leaned over and whispered, "Do you think it was arranged in advance by His Majesty?" ”
In this regard, the girl hesitated for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I don't know." ”
This answer made Xu Hexiu a little disappointed: it turned out that she also had times when she couldn't guess!
But before his disappointment could continue to spread, the girl's next words really startled him.
"According to the temperament of the real princess, it's not difficult to guess what will happen to that little Wusun patriarch!"
These words made Xu Hexiu choke, and after a while, he blushed inexplicably and said, "Uh, maybe ...... Maybe this little patriarch is naturally romantic, so he may be dependent on the real princess or even like it! "Didn't you see that the little patriarch went out of his way to take a look at Princess Zhenzhen before leaving with his clansmen? This kind of thing, some people may like it, after all, the real princess is not ugly, maybe there will be a princess and kiss or something.
Of course, it's just his imagination to be close or something, after all, His Majesty is not such a person.
Thinking like this, the girl's next words really startled him.
"I believe that everything Your Majesty did was for the sake of Da Chu, so her special help to the Wusun people this time may also be related to the defeat of the Xiongnu. After all, the Wusun people are a minority among the Huns, and they have been singled out over the years, and I am afraid that life will not be easy, if you can bury a nail for the Huns from the inside, I believe Your Majesty will do it. ”
This guess is reasonable, Xu Hexiu listened carefully.
"But I don't think the reaction of the real princess is quite right, no, it's not the real princess, until now the real princess is still calm." Qiao Ran said, "To be brought in by Princess Zhenzhen, I believe that this little patriarch of Wusun is currently more favored, but according to Princess Zhenzhen's wanton and reckless nature, it is this little patriarch of Wusun who is favored, I am afraid that she will do something that should not be done to this little patriarch of Wusun." ”
After all, although the little patriarch of Wusun looked back at Princess Zhenzhen before following the clansmen into their seats, he couldn't wait to grasp the corners of the clansmen's clothes and the appearance of the past, but it didn't look like he was reluctant to give up.
If that is the case, His Majesty's good deeds to help the Wusun people are likely to become enemies.
