Chapter 116: The Coming of the Four Kingdoms (1)
Xia Rui really didn't expect it wrong, during the period after Yunping was released from prison, Concubine Song did not contact King De again, and she has been very peaceful.
The people sent by Yun Xiao to keep an eye on Concubine Song found nothing.
In this way, it seems that it is still Xia Rui who knows his brother better.
However, Yun Xiao still did not give up, she asked those who were staring at Song Concubine to continue to stare at Song Concubine secretly, and as long as they found anything abnormal, they would immediately come back and report to her.
In this way, the days came to the following year without any waves.
On the first day of the new year, Xia Rui announced in public that he would change the name of the year to "Tianyuan", so that this day was the first day of the first month of the first year of Tianyuan.
--------------------
March of the first year of Tianyuan was extremely important for the entire Great Xia Kingdom.
This is because the Hazumi (note 1) of Natsuri is in March, and it is the first Hoi to be officially celebrated after Natsuri ascended the throne.
Last summer, Rui's Halloween Festival, because it was not long after the death of the emperor, Xia Rui did not order anyone to organize it, so it was not taken seriously.
Not only that, according to the etiquette of exchanges between countries, the countries surrounding the Great Xia Kingdom will send envoys to congratulate them on the first birthday festival held after the new emperor of other countries ascends the throne.
That is to say, on Rui's Halloween this summer, the four countries adjacent to the Xia Kingdom will send envoys to the Great Xia Kingdom Palace to congratulate them.
In order to welcome this grand festival, the entire Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Palace has been preparing since the beginning of February, although the longevity festival of Xia Rui will not be held until March 18!
Today, there are a total of four countries adjacent to the Great Xia Kingdom.
They are: the Tianshan Kingdom, located in the north of the Great Xia Kingdom; Xichang State, located in the western part of the Great Xia Kingdom, on the border with the Tianshan Kingdom; Located in the southwest of the Great Xia Kingdom, at the junction with the Xichang Kingdom, the Bashu Kingdom; and the Southern Yan Kingdom, which is located on an island directly south of the Great Xia Kingdom, across the sea from the Bashu Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom.
Although these four countries are all adjacent to the Great Xia Kingdom, their cultural histories and landforms are different.
Therefore, it is extremely time-consuming and laborious to prepare for this grand celebration, and if there is a mistake, or if there is a crown, it will be laughed at, and in serious cases, it is very likely to affect the relationship between the two countries.
--------------------
During this time, Yun Xiao was very busy.
However, she actually saw the old man in the library cabinet, and she was still a young old man.
On that day, Yun Xiao took Qianyue and Qianyun to the library pavilion, and wanted to find some books that recorded the etiquette and culture of the four kingdoms in the library pavilion, and suddenly a girl with a double-ringed bun ran over very happily and saluted Yun Xiao:
"Meet the crown princess Niangniang, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose! Mother, the courtiers have finally seen you again......"
"The crown princess?" Yun Xiao was slightly shocked when she heard this, in this Great Xia Kingdom Palace, it has been a long time, and no one has called her that.
Qianyue and Qianyun, who were standing behind her, were equally surprised.
Qianyun hurriedly said, "Little girl, did you recognize the wrong person?" The one in front of you, but the queen of the dynasty, where is there any princess here? Today's Literature Network
When the girl heard this, she frowned at first, and then said with great certainty:
"There's no way I'm wrong...... That year, I came to the palace to attend a dinner, secretly ran to the imperial dining room, and ate poisonous yacon, it was the crown princess who saved me, if it wasn't for the princess to save me, I would have died a long time ago, the one in front of me is the princess who saved me at that time, so I will definitely not admit my mistake......"
As soon as she said this, Yun Xiao remembered: "It turned out to be you, there is an image in this palace......"
Yun Xiao reached out to help the little girl up, patted the dust on her body, and asked,
"Little girl, is your father Lord Yue?"
When the little girl heard this, she nodded excitedly:
"Yes, my father is Lord Yue, the crown princess, I am really happy to see you again!"
Yun Xiao touched the little girl's hair and said softly:
"The child grows up really fast, but it's only been two years, and the palace is almost unrecognizable to you, your name is Yue Weilan, right? This year, you're also thirteen years old, and you're really getting more and more beautiful. But now, this palace is no longer the princess Niangniang, but the queen Niangniang, you can no longer call the princess Niangniang of the palace in the future! ”
"Yes, the courtiers obey." Yue Weilan replied immediately.
Yun Xiao's smile became brighter and brighter: "Why did you enter the palace alone today?" ”
Here, Yue Weilan blessed Yun Xiao and said:
"Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers were ordered by the emperor to enter the palace to assist in the preparation of the envoys of the four countries to enter the imperial capital!"
"You?" Yun Xiao was taken aback again, but she immediately suppressed her surprise again, "Since you are from a scholarly family, you must have read a lot of books with your father, and many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are illiterate, so it is appropriate to send you here to help them with some things...... I didn't expect you to be quite bold at your young age. ”
"Thank you, Queen, for the compliment." Yue Weilan smiled like a warm sun on top of the apricot blossoms, blooming with golden light, "Actually, this time, it was the courtiers who begged their father to help the courtiers win this place to enter the palace, because only when you enter the palace can you see a lady like a fairy!" ”
Yun Xiao was surprised again: "You entered the palace to see the palace?" ”
Yue Weilan nodded solemnly: "Hmm! It's just that I've been in the palace for a few days, and I've asked a lot of people, and they all said that there is no princess in the palace, and I don't believe it, so I look for it myself while working in the palace...... Unexpectedly, the crown princess has become the queen's mother, no wonder she can't find it! ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Qianyue and Qianyun also smiled.
Seeing this, Yue Weilan lowered her head a little shyly.
Yun Xiao stretched out his hand to signal Qianyue and Qianyun to step back first, and then, taking Yue Weilan's hand, and leading her forward, while walking:
"It seems...... This palace is very fate with you, you entered the palace to find the palace, and you haven't found it for so long, but the palace happened to meet you today, maybe in the dark, fate is to let the palace meet you again! You little girl, this palace likes it very much, today, this palace came to this library, is to find some books related to the history and culture of Shikoku, since you are here, lead the way for this palace, by the way, also tell this palace what you want to say to this palace! ”
Yue Weilan was very happy when she heard this, she pointed to the corner in front of her, and said to Yun Xiao: "Niangniang, the book you are looking for is over there, the courtier will take you over, let's go there and say!" ”
