042 Offering Beauty
Nanxing almost jumped up and gave Lingxi a shudder, "Didn't you tell me everything that happened when you were with Your Majesty, why didn't you say such a big thing?" ”
"I talked so much with His Majesty that day that I forgot about it." Lingxi stuck out his tongue and said with some flattery: "Sister, you see that Your Majesty is not angry, so don't be angry with me." ”
Nanxing told Lingxi what he had just seen, "Things are getting more complicated now, did you find anything when Your Majesty came today?" ”
"If you want to say that you have discovered, I think Your Majesty seems to have something on your mind today, does this count?" Lingxi said while reminiscing.
The two discussed it, but they didn't figure it out. However, Nanxing had a guess in her heart, but now there is no evidence to prove her guess, so she simply didn't tell Lingxi.

The clouds are dew, and the beads are turning on the wall.
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and the concubines who will perform at the banquet this year are Fan Cainu and Kang Cainu named by the queen herself.
These two were promoted by the queen only a month ago, and they were two palace maids with outstanding appearance selected from the Shang Palace Bureau.
Fan Cainu is seventeen, Kang Cai is sixteen, they are all the same age, and their family backgrounds are also innocent, and before they can be deployed by the Shanggong Bureau, they were asked to leave by the queen.
"I heard that after they were asked to leave by the queen's mother, they practiced dancing hard every day, just to make a splash today." Although Yao Meiren does not have a holy grace now, her ability to inquire about gossip has always been very high.
"The emperor is going to promote these two." Shen Meiren was a little surprised.
What do you mean? Isn't it just a performance, and it's still as good as Wan Jieyu last year? After Qin Sisi finished speaking, he glanced at the direction where Lingxi was sitting, with a provocative meaning in his eyes.
"This Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is different from the past, do you see a few bearded men with braided hair over there? That is the envoy of the barbarians to the north. ”
At a table in the middle of the left side of Xingqing Palace, there were three bearded men. Their hairstyles are extremely special, different from the bunched hair of the big men. Instead, a small lock of hair on the forehead is made into the shape of a peach, and the rest of the hair is braided into many small braids, which are wrapped around one or two large rings and placed behind the ears.
Their clothes looked somewhat similar to the robes of Daqian, but they were shorter than the robes, the color of the upper and lower clothes was the same, there were many folds at the waist, but the position of the arms was relatively tight and narrow.
The barbarians are a people on horseback, and such clothes are more convenient to get on and off the horse, Nanxing summed up in his heart according to the information he consulted.
"It's a bit crude to look at." Xuan Xiuyi commented in a whisper.
"Not really. A few days ago, I chatted with the queen, and I heard that they also presented a beauty, and they are going to perform tonight. "Chen Jieyu has some relatives with the queen, and she is the most diligent when she goes to Fengzao Palace on weekdays.
Lingxi pricked up his ears to listen to them gossip, and some couldn't help but interject, "What does that beauty look like?" ”
Wan Jieyu asked. That beauty seems to be the princess of a large tribe of the barbarians, known as the grassland moonlight. However, the concubine thinks that the aesthetics of this barbarian tribe may not be very different from ours. ”
After Yao Meiren finished speaking, she pouted at the barbarian envoy below.

Qiyan Saren was a little restless in the apse of Xingqing Palace, and the maids around her who danced with her, who were also the dowries chosen by the Bayan clan for her, were chattering endlessly, constantly sighing at the wealth and magnificence of Daqian.
The barbarian is just the name of the various tribes on the grassland, and the whole barbarian tribe is composed of twenty or thirty tribes, large and small, among which the tribe where the barbarian king is located will be called the Tian Khan Department, and Qiyan Saren was born in the tribe called Qiyan.
The Qiyan tribe is considered a large tribe on the grassland, and they have always been hardcore supporters of the barbarian king. Their ancestors considered themselves to be the servants of the gods, so they have been doing their duty diligently for many years.
Although the patriarch of the old beggar did not agree with letting an eight-year-old boy born in the belly of a Han girl be the king of the barbarian tribe, the eldest princess took out the golden battle and the golden seal. The old patriarch could only show submission, but his son Qiyan Amul did not think so.
Qiyan Amul has always been disgusted with the Han princess, he thinks that Han women can be plundered as concubines, but the position of the princess must be held by barbarian women. Moreover, the eldest son of the old barbarian king can fight well, and he has long longed for it.
Therefore, when the Bayan clan led the troops to besiege the Qiyan tribe, Qiyan Amul and the Bayan clan should join forces with each other, and forced the old Qiyan patriarch to give way to Qiyan Amul, and then Qiyan Amul took the Qiyan tribe to serve the Bayan clan.
This Qiyan Saren is the younger sister of Qiyan Amul, she said that she was a sister, but she was actually born to a Han female concubine of the old Qiyan patriarch, not to mention that mixed-race children are all good-looking.
After serving the Bayan clan, Qiyan Amul dedicated his cheap sister to the Bayan clan, and also offered a strategy. Bayan's family was overjoyed, and there was the current situation.
This is a clear plan, the Bayan clan will reach friendship with Daqian as the new barbarian king, in fact, it is intended to delay time so that he can free up his hands to deal with the eldest princess.
Regardless of whether that side has the upper hand, the big cadres will provide some small help to the other side, and it is best to let them fight for more than ten years, so that the border can be peaceful for more than ten years.
Of course, it is best for them to defeat both, and then the cadres will send troops to calm down in one fell swoop, and this scourge can be completely solved.
Both parties have their own thoughts, as for Qiyan Saren is destined to be a victim of a tragedy, of course, in order to get by on face, the saint will still be pampered.
After the end of Qiyan Saren's dance with a strong exotic style, the saint sealed her Jieyu of the third grade on the spot, and also gave the title of the word "He", which means that the great cadres and the barbarians will always have diplomatic relations from today onwards and will be friendly for generations.
After that, the pas de deux dance of Fan and Kang perfectly showed the charm and tenderness of the two, which made the saint exhale three times in a row.
Knowing that the two were trained by the queen herself, the saint also rewarded the queen with a gold-inlaid jade and ruby-inlaid wish. staged a good show in front of everyone, the emperor and queen Qin Se and Ming.
However, Nanxing clearly saw that the saint was extremely impatient in his attributes, and at this time, the saint became the person named Li Jingyao again.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, He Jieyu begged Yan Saren to live in Izumo Garden. This Izumo Garden has only two courtyards, and it was originally a library of the previous dynasty, which was unfortunately burned down when the Great Qiantaizu attacked the imperial city, and it was rebuilt later.
During the reconstruction, the female crown of the Lianzhen Palace suggested that this was a place that was destroyed by fire, and it was best to suppress it with water to resolve the problem of too much fire in this place.
Therefore, the entire front yard of Izumoen is a small pond with lotus flowers planted in the pond, and to get to the apse, you need to pass through a small covered bridge over the lotus pond. Standing on the covered bridge at noon, the water mist is steaming all around, and there is really a sense of Izumo.
Izumo Garden is only a few steps away from Yutang Palace, and gradually Lingxi and this He Jieyu became acquainted.
