As it turns out, it doesn't count.

The Vermilion Bird Kingdom is a small border country located in the west of the Great Qi Kingdom, and a few years ago, it was also involved when the Great Qi Kingdom was at war with other countries.

The land area of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom is very small, but it is only a quarter of the total area of the Great Qi Kingdom, and the population and economy are far less than that of the Great Qi Kingdom.

Back then, they wanted to sneak attack Daqi from behind, occupy the country, and rob resources, but they were killed all the way back by King Heshun.

King Heshun led his troops to smash the imperial court of the Suzaku Kingdom, and killed His Majesty the Suzaku Kingdom at that time with one sword, and cut down all the people and ministers of the Suzaku Kingdom who had wolf ambitions.

Then he found a puppet who was kind and kind, and only wanted to attach himself to the Great Qi State, and was willing to be a vassal in front of the Great Qi State, and helped the puppet emperor to calm the court of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom.

Immediately afterwards, the puppet emperor of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom sent most of the troops of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom to be sent by the Great Qi State in accordance with the regulations.

If it weren't for this, the Vermilion Bird Kingdom would have been destroyed long ago and became part of the Great Qi Kingdom.

As for why King Heshun did not directly swallow the Suzaku Kingdom back then, and gave them a chance to breathe, it was also forced by the current situation.

Later results proved that King Heshun's approach was right.

The benefits of leaving the Suzaku Kingdom far greater than destroying them.

The pain and impact of the war were too great, hundreds of people suffered a catastrophe, and after the Great Qi State repelled the invasion of the other countries, it used some means to send people to sign a friendly coexistence contract with the other countries.

After that, everything gradually settled down.

As a dependent state of Daqi, the Suzaku State must pay a certain amount of spices, timber, silk and other things to Daqi every year according to the agreement.

In addition, there is a certain amount of friendly tribute, also known as a protection fee.

As for the appearance of the people of the Suzaku Kingdom, they are also the same as the people of the Great Qi Kingdom, with yellow skin and black eyes, which is not special, but they are very different in terms of clothing.

This point was discovered by Bai Jinli when she participated in the hunt.

The hunt was postponed for four days, and during these four days, the imperial palace of the Great Qi Kingdom had been receiving the envoys of the Suzaku Kingdom and had friendly conversations with them.

I heard that the specific process is nothing more than the envoys of the Suzaku Kingdom offering gifts to Daqi, offering beauties, and offering tribute.

Then they took the opportunity to propose that the Vermilion Bird Kingdom was wholeheartedly subordinate to Daqi, and it was not easy in recent years, and they were willing to send Her Royal Highness, the most noble princess of their country, to make peace with them, so that the Great Qi Kingdom could reduce their tribute requirements, and put forward a series of conditions.

However, before the words of the envoys of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom were finished, they were pushed back by the courtiers of the Great Qi Kingdom.

Then, there were three days of discussions.

In the end, it was the military department Shangshu who proposed to let the people of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom witness with their own eyes that the soldiers of the Great Qi Kingdom are strong and strong, and then see if they will continue to expand?

It's just a subject country, where is there any qualification to talk about conditions? He even wanted to send a princess to let the Great Qi Kingdom give up so many benefits? Dream.

After beating the envoys of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom in an all-round way, the envoys of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom finally stopped all kinds of thoughts, chose to be obedient and obedient, and said that they would definitely bring back the will of His Majesty the Great Qi Kingdom.

On the fourth day, there was a polite and hypocritical scene, accompanied by people from the Ministry of Rites.

After a while, the people of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom heard that His Majesty of the Great Qi Kingdom originally wanted to hunt, but the hunt was delayed because of their visit, so they expressed that they also wanted to participate in the hunting of the Great Qi Kingdom, and begged His Majesty for permission.

In the end, His Majesty Qi Heng agreed and ordered that all princes and sons of ministers in the royal family could participate in this hunt, including all the female dependents.

Then, after Bai Jinli appeared at the hunting scene, he saw the legendary envoys of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, and was instantly a little disappointed.

She thought she would meet those crooked nuts with a high nose, blue eyes, and an exotic style, but it didn't.

However, the disappointment was only for a moment.

The thought that the big hunt was about to begin, she still had a little excitement in her heart.

She came with Yan and Bai Meng, and sat together.

Of course, Zhao Ranran and Zhao ended with them, as well as Shen Yun and Shen Zhiyuan.

Because the hunt has just begun, His Majesty has not yet appeared, let alone announced the rules of this year's hunting, so everyone who came to the hunting ground moved around the range they had set out in a regular manner.

Bai Jinli only glanced at them from a distance, made eye contact with them, and then looked around.

I don't know if I don't see it, but it makes Bai Jinli startled.

It has always been said that the capital is a magical place, and officials are running everywhere, but she didn't find it much before.

It wasn't until today that it opened her eyes.

The officials and the sons of officials who came to participate in the hunt, there were not too many female dependents or anything, and they were dazzling to watch.

That's it, it's still within the restrictions.

Only Beijing officials above the fifth rank are eligible to participate in the hunt.

"Sister-in-law, do you know all these people?" After Bai Jinli glanced around, she couldn't help but ask Yan.

Yan is the county lord of His Majesty, and he has a good embroiderer, and he is quite famous in the capital.

It didn't take long for this to happen, and several women had already come to greet the Yan family.

For those people, Yan was able to call out their identities and greet them with a friendly social smile.

It was also because of this that Bai Jinli couldn't help but ask her this question curiously.

"Not all of them know, and some of them are guessed." Yan Shi smiled lightly and spoke.

When she first returned to the capital, her mother had been telling her about the relationships and rules of the characters in the capital.

Later, there was a special upbringing grandmother who told her how to recognize people, what kind of temperament people in the noble circle in the capital are, how people from which family should get along, and so on.

It took her a long time to write them down.

Not only her, but even her daughter Bai Meng was forced to learn those.

"That's amazing!" Bai Jinli couldn't help smacking her tongue.

They had not waited long to sit in their respective places when they heard someone shouting, Your Majesty had arrived.

For a moment, everyone present knelt on the ground to welcome the arrival of the Son of Heaven.

Bai Jinli's position was not too far, but it was not close, and she took the opportunity of His Majesty to let everyone get up and secretly looked up at the emperor.

Well, in the end, she felt that the emperor deserved to be the emperor, and he really had the aura of a superior person, and he was extravagant.

In addition, the emperor seemed to be a beautiful uncle, and the people in the royal family standing behind him were also very good-looking.

After His Majesty took his seat, they sat down one after another.

As for the envoys of the Suzaku Kingdom, it seems that there are also thirty or forty people in total, sitting four or five meters away from His Majesty's seat.

His Majesty Qi Heng first started with a beautiful scene, and then encouraged all the young talents present to participate in this hunt.

It also added a certain amount of color to the hunt to boost the morale of those people.

After His Majesty's words were finished, the princes, but all the young courtiers who knew a little martial arts wanted to participate in it with excitement.

For them, this is a great opportunity to show themselves, and they must not let it go.

Once you behave well in hunting, you will definitely be able to enter the eyes of Your Majesty, and when the time comes......

When the hunt officially began, His Majesty Qi Heng also went to change his clothes, and called King Heshun, Prince Mu, and the prince to accompany him to experience.

The queen and the princes waited in place and kept order.

It was at this time that Feng Li, the second prince of the Suzaku Kingdom envoys, also stood up and volunteered to join it.

Eventually, His Majesty agreed to his accession.

A few people got on their horses and entered the hunting ground under the covert protection of the Royal Foresters.

After His Majesty left, the oppressive atmosphere at the scene was suddenly soothed, and the people who came to participate in the hunt spoke back and forth, left and right.

After all, it was not a serious scene, so the queen sitting on it was not angry, and still looked as usual.

It was at this time that the woman with outstanding appearance and superior temperament sitting in the envoy group of the Suzaku Kingdom stood up, bowed her head, and then spoke.

"Dear queen, Tilting Phoenix has a suggestion, I don't know if I can talk about it?"

"Oh? But the princess said it was okay. The queen looked at her curiously.

Not to mention the queen, because the princess of the Suzaku Kingdom stood up to speak, almost everyone in the hunting ground focused their attention.

Bai Jinli is naturally no exception.

The princess of the Suzaku Kingdom was dressed in a flamboyant rose-red exotic costume, with a jeweled loincloth around her waist, and a princess top hat on her head like a headdress with a pearl and a fragrant headdress.

But it is more luxurious and delicate than that.

"Qian Huang thinks that we are all sitting here and waiting at this moment, so it is better to have some fun while waiting."

"Huh? The princess continued. ”

"I heard that the Great Qi country is full of talents, and the Tilting Phoenix likes martial arts since he was a child, so he followed the imperial brother to learn some skills in horseback riding and archery.

"Princess, you mean, you want to try horseback archery with the ladies of my Great Qi Kingdom?" The queen was surprised in her heart, but on the surface, she didn't show half of it.

The princess of the dignified Vermilion Bird Country, with a golden body, is not good at self-cultivation, and she actually likes these things?

Most of the women in their Great Qi Kingdom are as gentle as water, and they have been raised in the back house since they were children, learning some piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette, etc., knowing martial arts, and knowing how to ride horses and shoot arrows...... It's really not much.

If you compete, you can do it, but you can't lose.

If you lose, this is not just a loss, but a matter of the face of the Great Qi Kingdom.

But if they refuse directly, it seems that they are afraid of the Great Qi Country, and they are afraid of the small Vermilion Bird Country.

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but speak: "Princess, this palace has heard your suggestion, but this palace thinks that it takes some time to prepare for horseback archery." ”

"Since the princess finds it boring, she can follow the local customs and play with the pitcher."

"Pitcher?" Feng Tianhuang's face was full of puzzlement.
