Chapter 34: Welcome
Some people are sad and some people are happy, thinking that Yu Zhu was suppressed into a stuffy gourd in Yufu back then, but now he is proud. gave birth to a pair of twin sons, so that the source emperor Long Yan was happy, and when the moon was full, he and Chu Ziyang hurriedly hugged him and showed it to the source emperor Yu Zhao.
Emperor Yuan hugged and teased, Chu Zikai didn't dare to speak on the side, for fear of mentioning the concubine of the East Palace again. But fortunately, Emperor Yuan had a lot of affairs, so he had a little free time, and in a blink of an eye, he went to the imperial study to deal with government affairs.
Chu Ziyang said to Chu Zikai: "My father is busy with state affairs, so I don't want to be disturbed, and my younger brother wants to use the mouth of the imperial brother to give the child a nickname." ”
Chu Zikai was puzzled. "Why?"
Yu Zhu explained: "I invited a fortune teller before, saying that the twins are mutually restrictive. In addition to parents, relatives should take a name with fireworks and good support in order to grow up safely. ”
"A good name to feed?" Chu Zikai thought about it, but still shook his head and refused, pointing at Yu Zhao: "She raised her fifth brother very well, and the name she chose must be better than mine." ”
"No, no." Yu Zhao refused without tactfulness.
Chu Ziyang smiled kindly, and pleaded again: "Please also ask Chen Niangniang to bother, that gentleman said, just open your mouth, don't care about the words." ”
Yu Zhu also chimed in: "Yes, Niangniang." Bother you with your mind and give them a name. ”
Chu Zikai was on the side to help. "The fourth brother and the side concubine beg you like this, don't shirk it, my name is really unpleasant."
Taking a deep breath, Yu Zhao looked at the three people in front of him who were embarrassed by him. "Big cat and second dog."
It's cheap enough, don't worry about not being able to live. It's up to you to use it.
“……”
“……”
“……”
"This ......" Chu Zikai couldn't hold back his laughter, and turned his eyes to see that Chu Ziyang and Yu Zhu were the same, talking about it with a smile.
Suddenly changed his attention, Chu Zikai hurriedly said: "If it doesn't work, I'll take it, it's better to call the little tree and the little grass, so that it can be fed." ”
"......" is not much better, but Yu Zhao doesn't want to take responsibility, in case there is an illness in the future, it will be bad to blame the name, so he hurriedly agreed: "This is good, better than my one, so be it." ”
Hearing her say this, several people accepted it. With such a nickname, Xiaocao'er Xiaoshu'er still smiled ignorantly, and after Chu Ziyang and Yu Zhu thanked him, he went back happily with the child.
There were only two people left, and Chu Zikai stepped forward with a smile: "The big cat and the second dog are indeed not bad." ”
Knowing that he was going to be poor, Yu Zhao secretly glued ink with his hands and prepared it. Sure enough, I saw him close to me and said softly, "Why don't our children call like this in the future." ”
Three black bars immediately appeared on his face, but Chu Zikai was not annoyed, turned his head to look at the glass mirror, and pulled his finger to point at the other side of his face. smiled: "This side is also painted with a statue." ”
Looking at the person with a black beard in front of him who was smiling happily, Yu Zhao ignored his words and wiped him with a silk scarf. I also secretly yearn in my heart, if this is the case, then it will be good......
There are never hungry people in the high hall, but the people of the people have to look at the face of the sky and worry about whether they will have no worries about food and clothing this year. Last year, the heavens were angry and did not give rain, causing famine to ravage and mourning. Emperor Yuan cared about the people, did not dare to slack off, and took his ministers to the hometown of the god of agriculture to worship the sky, a line of more than ten days, and all the affairs of Jingzhou were handed over to Chu Zikai.
It coincided with the visit of the king and queen of Zephan to Dachu to discuss the opening of the westward trade route. Emperor Yuan couldn't rush back immediately, so he had to be met by Chu Zikai on his behalf, and the queen was a female dependent, so the harem naturally had to send someone to accompany her, so of course Yu Zhao came forward.
On the day of the welcome, the two stood together in the main hall and waited, only to see the king and queen hand in hand, with great affection. When he arrived in front of the hall, Chu Zikai Yu Zhao greeted him with a salute.
The king and the queen returned the salute and said, "The widow has thanked me here, and the prince and the princess have been waiting for a long time." ”
A pair of beautiful people stand together, and the talented and beautiful women are extremely compatible, but it is not easy to misunderstand. Yu Zhao learned foreign languages and understood them, but his face was a little unnatural. The interpreter next to him hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this is Concubine Chen's mother." ”
Hearing this, the king and queen were both slightly stunned, glanced at each other, and hurriedly apologized.
Chu Zikai said: "The king and queen are coming from afar, don't worry about these, please come in." As he spoke, he led the two of them to sit down in the hall. Yu Zhao swept him with his afterglow, clearly with a satisfied smile, secretly guessing that he understood.
After the banquet, Yu Zhao invited the queen to visit the palace as usual, but was refused: "Live up to the good intentions of the mother, when I marry the king, I must always be together when I go out, I am afraid that I can't visit the harem with the mother." ”
"In that case, it's okay, let's discuss it together." Chu Zikai responded quickly, and said to Yu Zhao: "You know foreign languages, and the matter of opening up a business road is related to the interests of the two countries, so it is not appropriate to disclose it too early, it is better to come too." First, you can accompany the queen, and second, you can ask the interpreter to avoid it, which is more prudent. ”
"That's very good." The king of the Western Fan Kingdom also spoke: "Then please ask Concubine Chen to accompany me, this matter has not been discussed with His Majesty the Emperor personally, if it is accidentally leaked, I am afraid that other countries will seize the opportunity to cause extraneous branches." ”
Since the guests had spoken, Yu Zhao couldn't refuse, so he had to enter the meeting hall with them, and asked Chu Zikai in a low voice on the way: "Can you understand?" ”
Chu Zikai looked at her and nodded with a smile, obviously still immersed in the misunderstanding just now. whispered: "But I just want you to accompany me." ”
Yu Zhao's body stiffened, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the king and queen of the West who were following behind, only to see the two of them whispering and chatting, and did not pay attention to the front, and looked at Chu Zikai again. Repulsion: "Pay attention to the occasion." ”
Accustomed to her seriousness, the smile in Chu Zikai's eyes did not diminish at all, Yu Zhao was helpless, and walked with his eyes down without looking at him.
The four of them sat down, unfolded the map, and Chu Zikai discussed with the king the planning of the post station and the road, as well as the maintenance area of the two countries. The conversation was peaceful, and it was not difficult to realize that the king and queen were both kind and courteous people.
When encountering some disagreements, the king also consulted with Chu Zikai with kind words to convince people, and the whole process was completely invisible to the momentum of other vassal states fighting each other everywhere for their own interests.
The half-day talks went smoothly and happily, and in the end, in order to show the importance of the West, Da Chu agreed to make concessions in exchange for a long-term friendship between the two countries. The king of the Western Fan Kingdom stood up and saluted the queen gratefully: "His Royal Highness Prince Xie is compassionate, and the West will be loyal to the Great Chu for eternity." ”
Chu Zikai hurriedly replied: "His Majesty the King takes into account the overall situation in everything, and as a junior, this king should be respected." ”
Seeing that the matter was almost over, Yu Zhao ordered someone to present tea and pastries, prepare to rest for a while, and then send the two back to the embassy. The queen chatted with Yu Zhao while drinking tea, but it was just some questions about customs and human feelings, and Yu Zhao patiently answered them one by one.
While chatting happily, the queen suddenly looked at Yu Zhao and Chu Zikai back and forth, and asked, "Concubine Chen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seem to have a very good relationship......
