The girl kneeling on the left, with heroic eyebrows, and the girl on the right is very delicate, not daring to speak, not daring to look up, a little cringe, and the girl on the left replied to Gu Banqin without humility:

"Back to Niangniang's words, the people's daughter's surname is Liang, she is the righteous daughter of Lord Shen, my parents died when I was a child, and I was in exile, fortunately, Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen took me in at home for ten years, although the surname is Liang, but it is indeed the Shen family."

Speak in a clear manner, speak clearly, and look heroic, which makes people hate it.

Gu Banqin nodded, indicating that she knew, and asked the girls behind them, the girls didn't expect to meet the virtuous concubine who was gossiping about them, and they were embarrassed and afraid that Gu Banqin would trouble them.

After some questioning, Gu Banqin knew why they were bullying Shen Qing and Liang Hong, it turned out that Shen Qing and Liang Hong were both selected to enter the palace as show girls, and another woman kneeling in the right rear was also selected.

Now they all bow their heads and regret Liang Ji, for fear that this legendary virtuous concubine will wipe out all their efforts in the past few days with a single word.

Gu Banqin's gaze swept over them, and finally fell on Liang Hong's body, I always felt that this little girl was very different from other little girls, with chivalrous spirit between her eyebrows, this was not an ordinary boudoir woman.

She is the adopted daughter of the Shen family, even if she is elected to the palace, she will be a palace maid at most, seeing her protecting Shen Qing everywhere, she knows that the relationship between the two of her is really good, although this girl is hanging her eyes, she can still make Gu Banqin feel a different breath on her body, a little familiar, but she can't remember anyway, where is familiar.

Originally, there was nothing to do, but I was afraid that these girls would make trouble and alarm the Fang family, and it would not end well at that time, so Liu Wu called them over to warn and warn, and now that the words were finished, Gu Banqin had no interest in keeping them.

After a few words, he asked them all to retreat, Liang Hong helped Shen Qing take two steps forward, and did not forget to look back at Gu Banqin.

After they left, Liu Wu said indignantly:

"Niangniang, you are too easy to talk, these girls have buried you before, you actually forget it like this, and don't say a word. If it's an ordinary person, forget it, but they are all show girls who were selected to enter the palace draft. ”

Gu Banqin stood up, put her hands in her sleeves, and did not comment on Liu Wu's complaints: "Oh, don't talk about this, it's good that they are gone, they are too tired, I better go back and sleep quickly." ”

Catkins:......

On the seventh day of the first month, the envoys of various countries arrived, and Gu Banqin slipped to the Taiji Hall platform early in the morning.

For this matter, Gu Banqin also asked the Ministry of Rites if she could attend such a ceremony, she wanted the Ministry of Rites to say no, and she would have an excuse to refuse Helian Hongyi.

But who knows that the Ministry of Rites said that there is no middle palace in charge, and the concubine can replace it.

Shengsheng interrupted Gu Banqin's good wishes.

The envoys who came back this time included Tubo, Nanzhao and Chu, Tubo envoy Wuzanda, Nanzhao ambassador Yimeng and Chu Guoding Yuan Hou Luo, these four people respectively represented the four countries and led the envoys of various countries to come to Daqi.

After the change of the first emperor Helian Bai, Tubo and Nanzhao have sent people to congratulate, and now Helian Hongyi ascended the throne in the third year, the countries reunited, and added the envoys of Chu, and at this time the Chu State has pacified the civil strife, succeeded by Chu Yanzhang, the king of Zhenping, the national strength is gradually recovering, and the Great Qi has not been recuperating for a few years, if the biggest enemy on the border, that is, the Chu State.

When the first emperor Helian Bai ascended the throne, the Chu State was in the troubled period of the five kings, and there was no time to estimate the Helian clan, and now the king of Zhenping has ascended the throne, removing the old and welcoming the new, and the national strength is recovering, he actually took the initiative to visit Daqi, and there is a sense of repair.

After listening to all these information, Gu Banqin planned to sit beside Helian Hongyi as an old monk, waiting for the envoys of various countries to enter to pay a visit, a long whip sounded, and the sharp voice of the saluting eunuch echoed in the Taiji Hall: "The envoys of Xuannan Zhaoguo are here." ”

Nanzhao is a subject country of Daqi, and the relationship is the closest, especially when Nanjiang was subdued by Daqi, Nanzhao is the first to see Daqi, showing kindness.

Nanzhao came to the national teacher of Yimeng, Nanzhao Guoshi is equivalent to the position of prime minister in the Central Plains court, it can be seen that the sincerity of the king of Nanzhao, on the emperor's platform, Helian Hongyi, who was dressed in a dragon robe, knelt down and saluted, and after sending a congratulatory gift list, he was personally led by the eunuch Bingbi to the guest banquet and sat down.

After the sharp voice of the saluting eunuch sounded, Gu Banqin sat behind Helian Hongyi, and saw Helian Hongyi straighten his back without a trace, which shows Helian Hongyi's attention and defense against Chu State.

Chu State Dingyuan Hou Luo Bi is the right-hand man of the new emperor Chu Yanzhang, who once followed Chu Yanzhang to quell the civil strife, a cloth body, borrowed the carp from the dragon's skill to jump the dragon gate, and ascended to the position of Dingyuanhou, which was a smash hit.

Luo Bi was followed by six guards, and the two people on the left and right in the front were holding a flag representing the Chu State, because the Chu State was not a subject country of Daqi, so it was necessary to display the flag to salute when coming to visit.

Gu Banqin's eyes fell on the flag of Chu with blue lines on a white background, and suddenly remembered a picture in his mind, and he inadvertently said "Huh" lightly, sat up straight, and stared at the flag for a long time.

After the envoys of Chu State finished saluting, Helian Hongyi turned his head to look at her, and the sound of the collision of the crowns pulled Gu Banqin's mind back, and he pursed his lips and smiled at Helian Hongyi, indicating that it was okay, Helian Hongyi turned his head back and continued to wait for the Tibetan envoys to enter to pay respects.

Gu Banqin's eyes looked at the envoys of the Chu State from time to time, and saw their clothes and appearance from their banners, and the Chu State was waiting for a guard on the left behind Luo Bi, with handsome eyebrows, tall posture, awe-inspiring complexion, and extraordinary bearing.

The man seemed to be very sensitive to the outside environment, raised his head suddenly, and looked accurately in the direction of Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin was startled by him, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze, only to see that the protector stared at Gu Banqin with a fierce murderous aura in his eyes, so far away, it made Gu Banqin feel a little uncomfortable, like a thorn in his back.

Helian Hongyi also felt that Gu Banqin was wrong, his eyes swept to the envoys of the Chu State, and then looked at Gu Banqin again, leaned over and asked Gu Banqin softly:

"What's wrong?"

Gu Banqin shook her head: "It's nothing, I'll tell you at night." ”

In this way, there is really something to say, Helian Hongyi turned his eyes back, Gu Banqin secretly glanced at the man again, and found that he turned his head and continued to look at his heart as before.

Receiving envoys is not such a boring thing, after all, it is a banquet, and the banquet will not talk about things related to state affairs, but will talk about some customs and folk life, which is quite interesting to listen to, and when it is the turn of Chu to speak, Dingyuan Hou Luo Bi is very modest:

"My Chu country is surrounded by loess mountains, or plains and woodlands, which are really not as rich in geography and humanity as the countries, so there is nothing to say."

From the conversation, Gu Banqin heard that the state of Chu and Daqi live next to each other, which is located in the extreme north and is known as the bitter cold, but the people of Chu are all soldiers, Kong Wu is good at fighting, and has a national integrity that will never give in.

Just this time as an envoy to Daqi Dingyuan Hou Luo Bi, don't look at his scholarly appearance, polite and polite, but he is also a famous god of killing on the battlefield, once had a record of killing 3,000 prisoners, and also fought with Tubo and Nanzhao.

If it weren't for the great Qi taking advantage of the civil strife in Chu, raising troops and delaying it until now, maybe this world would still be the world of the northern country, and the Helian clan would enter the Central Plains.

Luo Bi's words made the other three kingdoms look at each other, looked at Helian Hongyi who was sitting on the emperor's platform, and only heard Helian Hongyi say to Luo Bi:

"The state of Chu has been the country for a long time, and it is the most of all the countries present, and it is too humble to wait for this."

Luo Bi hugged his fists at Helian Hongyi and said: "The emperor praises falsely, the world knows that my Chu has been in turmoil for a long time, and it is no longer the heyday of the year, the world is impermanent, just like ten years ago when I confronted the emperor on the battlefield, after a vicious battle, who would have thought that it would be like this in the end, and the emperor is already high, but the minister is still a minister, everything in the world is changing rapidly, it is not a sentence of self-humility can be summed up." ”

Gu Banqin looked at Helian Hongyi with a little surprise, he was on the battlefield ten years ago, so didn't he start killing people on the battlefield when he was a teenager?

"Although Hou Ye is still a minister, but when he fought against me, Hou Ye was just a member of the army, and now he is a very human minister, it can be seen that things in the world are changing rapidly, but he also has his own certainty." Helian Hongyi can be literate and martial, and his kung fu is home, it all depends on whether he is willing to fight with you.

This kind of banquet is a little boring, Gu Banqin is a little drowsy when she listens to it in the back, anyway, everyone is playing Tai Chi, you say a good word, I say a compliment, you cry poor, I say a sad word, in short, there are few people who tell the truth.

Gu Banqin secretly stretched her waist, Helian Hongyi was listening to Liu Youcheng and them, and after noticing Gu Banqin's movements, he turned around and whispered in her ear: "If you are tired, go to the imperial garden to relax, I have to talk for a while when I see them, it's boring." ”

Gu Banqin's eyes lit up: "Can the concubine go?" ”

Helian Hongyi nodded: "Breathe, come back." In the evening, you will have to receive the envoys and their daughters in person. ”

"Okay, then I'll go out for a while and come back later. In the evening, I arranged a banquet in front of the Guilan Pavilion in the southeast corner of the Imperial Garden. ”

After seeing him nod, Gu Banqin slowly got up, nodded with the envoys who were arguing with each other, and then got off the imperial platform and walked out through the side door of the Taiji Palace.

Liu Wu and Ninja Cao came up, Gu Banqin exhaled a breath of sullen breath that had been held for a long time, and asked Liu Wu to prepare some refreshments, Gu Banqin sat for a long time, her waist was stiff, and she planned to go back to Lihua Palace to rest for a while.
