These foreign envoys came in together, led by the North Vietnamese envoys, a total of five of them came, and the tall and strong man who was the first among them made Gu Jiu stunned.

She remembered that this person, when she had come to Jin Yuzhai before. At that time, she felt strange, and she even talked about it, and then asked Qin Zheng to check.

This man is indeed an envoy!

Noticing the change in Gu Jiu's expression, Qin Zheng lowered his eyes to look at her, and when he saw that her expression was wrong, he lowered his voice and asked gently, "What's wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu shook his head, took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a low voice: "Husband, do you remember the guest I thought was strange before?" That's him. ”

Qin Zheng naturally remembered that when he heard her words at this time, he immediately looked at it, and after seeing that person, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked softly, "Are you sure, it's this person?" ”

Earlier, Gu Jiu told him about it, and Qin Zheng sent someone to investigate.

The result is that there is no such person.

After that, he went to investigate again according to the clues Gu Jiu said, but he didn't find that person.

And now Gu Jiuzhi's person, Qin Zheng recognizes it. This man's name was Ah Mo, and he was one of the envoys accompanying North Vietnam, and his official position was that of a military general of North Vietnam.

This Amo, the information registered at the Xichu Post Station, was seven days ago.

In other words, he stayed in Xichu for more than twenty days without Xichu knowing!

Thinking of this, Qin Zheng's expression was also a little condensed.

Seeing Qin Zheng's appearance, Gu Jiu was a little uneasy for a while, because he asked softly, "Husband, what's wrong?" ”

She looked at Qin Zheng's expression, I was afraid that this matter was a little serious.

Qin Zheng didn't want her to worry, he just shook his head when he heard this, restrained the solemnity in his eyebrows, and said softly, "It's okay." ”

When he said this, Qin Zheng stretched out his hand again, held Gu Jiu's hand, and said in a soft voice: "Don't worry." ”

Gu Jiu still wanted to ask something, but this occasion was obviously not suitable, so she just nodded in response, took Qin Zheng's hand back, and looked towards the center of the hall.

Because this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is connected with the emperor's birthday, the envoys who came today are not only from the three countries of North Vietnam, the Western Regions and Miaojiang, but also from the feudal kings from all over the country.

After everyone arrived at the main hall, they all saluted the emperor, and then saw the emperor glance majestically, and then turned into a smile again, and said gently: "Let's all be flat, come here, give a seat." ”

When he had said this, all the people arose, and saluted and thanked.

Before the banquet began, after everyone was seated, they saw the second prince stand up first, saluted the emperor and said: "Erchen greets his father, today's Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet, Erchen specially prepared a gift and wanted to dedicate it to his father." ”

He made a mistake some time ago and was reprimanded by the emperor, but later because the third prince also had an accident, the two were punished regardless of the front and rear feet, but they were released regardless of the front and rear feet.

In the case of Hedong River, this crime finally came to an abrupt end on Governor Mu Yuan, and there was no further investigation.

In other words, even if it is checked, no one dares to expose the results to the world.

But the second prince is obviously full of determination, at least for now, there is no worry in his eyebrows and eyes that he is implicated.

Hearing the words of the second prince, the emperor glanced at him, and then smiled faintly: "Okay, present it to me." ”

As soon as the emperor's words came out, the second prince immediately presented the gift, which was a strange stone from the East China Sea, and it was a naturally formed swastika shape.

The second prince ordered someone to put this strange stone in the center of the main hall, and he replied respectfully: "Back to my father, this is a strange stone salvaged by the sons, and the word '10,000' shows that the rivers and mountains of my Western Chu will inevitably be for thousands of generations!" ”

What he said was pleasing to him, and the emperor's face was a little more smiling, and he nodded: "You have a heart." ”

Regardless of whether the stone was naturally formed or not, in front of the envoys of various countries, the emperor was obviously very satisfied with what he heard.

After receiving the emperor's praise, the second prince also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "My father is wise and martial, and I have my father in Xichu, the lord of the world, which can be described as smooth wind and rain, and will definitely be able to extend the blessings." ”v5

When he said this, the emperor bent his lips and said with a smile: "This is not the credit of me alone, but the credit of all Aiqing." Only when the monarch and the minister work together, can I Xichu be able to last for thousands of generations. ”

Hearing the emperor's words, everyone immediately stood up and said respectfully: "My emperor is Shengming." ”

A stone, but let the second prince get the emperor's commendation, Concubine Liang's eyes were full of joy, but Concubine De on the side was a little worried.

She quietly glanced at the third prince, and saw that his face was also a little dissatisfied, because she secretly made a look, and the next moment, she saw that the third prince also stood up.

"The sons of the emperor to say goodbye, today's banquet, the sons also have gifts to give."

At this time, the second prince had not returned to his position, the third prince stood up first, and Concubine De immediately covered her lips and said: "Jing'er must not be rude, your father has not summoned you yet, how can you come out privately?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Liang's expression was a little ugly.

After all, the second prince of Fang Cai is the one who came out privately.

The third prince immediately knelt down to say goodbye, but the emperor waved his hand and said with a smile: "There are not so many rules for today's banquet, just have fun." ”

As soon as he said this, Concubine De immediately responded with a smile: "It's the concubine who is rude, don't blame the emperor." ”

Seeing this, the emperor smiled warmly, and asked again: "Third child, what do you want to send me?" ”

Compared to the second prince, the emperor obviously preferred the third prince.

After all, there are so many concubines in this harem, and the emperor rarely has a little sincerity, and one of them falls on Concubine De.

Although people in the palace have come and gone over the years, the stable position of the concubines is only the two concubines and concubines.

But Concubine Liang is partly because of the Xue family, but Concubine De is really because of her.

Although Concubine De's family background is also quite prominent.

After hearing the emperor's words, a smile flashed in Concubine De's eyes without a trace, and she immediately restrained herself a little and looked at her son.

This is the son she has high hopes for, and she must not be crushed by the second prince!

The next moment, I saw the third prince take out the gift he had prepared a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Back to my father, my sons don't have any valuable gifts, I just want to give your sons a piece of their hearts." ”

When he said this, he took out the gift, but it was a small box.

When I opened it, I saw that inside the box was grain.

"This ......"

The emperor was slightly surprised, and saw that the third prince was a little surprised and said: "Back to my father, these are all planted by the sons themselves, these days, the sons of the ministers at home introspection, and after ploughing, they realized what they were wrong." The rivers and mountains of my Western Chu are the hard work of my father. Just like this kind of grain, it all has to be painstakingly worked. But Erchen made a mistake before, and because of his youth and frivolity, he ruined his father's hard work. ”

When he said this, he knelt down directly and blamed himself: "Erchen has been deeply aware of his mistake and does not ask for forgiveness from his father. These grains are not the apologies of the sons, but the truths that the sons really realize, I hope that the wind and rain in my West Chu will be smooth, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and you will be able to live for generations. ”

In the end, there were some tears in the eyes of the three princes.

The Emperor did not expect him to say such a thing, and on such an occasion.

You know, this is at a banquet, not in private. As a prince, he is a nobleman, and he has been the pride of the sky since he was a child, but he apologized in front of everyone, so you can imagine how much pressure he has endured in his heart.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt a little sigh in his heart, because he personally walked down, helped him up, and said: "You are still young, I am not afraid that you will make mistakes, but I am afraid that you will not know what is wrong with you." Now I am very relieved to see you like this, your heart is more valuable than any gift. Come on, reward—"

Hearing the emperor's words, the third prince naturally hurriedly said that he was ashamed, but he was patted on the shoulder by the emperor, and in the end he rewarded him, so he returned to his seat.

is also a gift, the third prince was rewarded, the second prince was praised, and it seemed that a bowl of water was flat, but everyone with a heart could see that today it was obviously the third prince who was better.

After all, the three princes went out open-mindedly.
