Chapter 48: Princess Nanban

"Weichen greets the emperor, the queen's mother Jin An!"

After touching a stick of incense, the Zhao father and son had already knelt down in front of Yin Chen and the queen.

"Old General Zhao, get up quickly, I really thank you father and son for returning from a big victory."

"Thank you for the emperor's love, and the father and son of the old minister can be regarded as living up to the expectations of the emperor and the queen."

The father and son of the Zhao family got up and looked behind them, they had been gone for nearly five months, and they looked at the Xiang Concubine who had been watching him behind Yin Chen.

"Concubine Xiang is also crazy with joy, your father, daughter, brother and sister haven't seen each other for a long time, and the emperor has specially set up a dinner party to welcome you tonight, so that you can gather family affection."

The queen knew Concubine Xiang, and when she came all the way, Concubine Xiang was so excited that she couldn't wait to ride out of Beijing to greet her.

The father and son of the Zhao family nodded in response, and returned to Concubine Xiang's eyes, and then turned sideways to lead the Nanban prince to meet him.

"The Southern Barbarian Prince Hakoye has seen the Emperor of Great Qi, and the Emperor has come out of the palace to greet him."

Old General Zhao turned sideways, and a tall man with a height of eight feet stood in front of everyone.

Hakoye's face was angular, and when you looked closely, her eyes were blue, and her hair was yellow. Dressed in a blue silk robe, it was as if he had wrapped his hands around his body. He wears loose satin trousers underneath and wears ivory jewelry symbolizing tribes on his limbs and wrists.

The whole person seems to be bohemian, but he has a different kind of extravagance.

"The prince of the Southern Barbarians came from afar, but I missed it."

Yin Chen's words are interesting, everyone knows that in addition to the Nanban prince, there is also a princess who came with him this time.

But when Yin Chen said this, firstly, it seemed that they came uninvited, and secondly, as soon as Hakoye finished speaking, it was Yin Chen who greeted him, and Yin Chen said that he was not here for him at all.

"The emperor of Daqi really likes to beat around the bush when he speaks, if you want to say that we don't understand the rules, you might as well say it directly, if you can't do it, let's fight!"

"Baoyin, don't be rude."

With Hakoye's non-serious reproach, everyone's eyes were drawn to the brightest pearl in the crowd.

Ha Baoyin, the only princess of the Southern Barbarian King. The name "Baoyin" is also translated as "Fu" in the Nanban language.

Just look at her in a black light gauze thin dress, or the Nanban tribe is arrogant, and the belly pocket of the princess is looming.

He wears a black and white beaded bracelet on his wrist, and a black wolf head ornament around his neck as an embellishment, which seems to have a cold and lonely arrogance from hell.

She looked arrogant, her long eyelashes were curled over her eyes, and her delicate facial features were particularly complementary to her unusual, wheat-colored skin.

People seem to know her pride just by looking at Ha Baoyin's appearance.

"Emperor Daqi, don't mind, my sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and she has always been unruly."

Yin Chen looked at the unusual princess in front of him, and just smiled without much blame.

"Brother, what do you say to him? In my opinion, if it weren't for their deception, the palace in the capital would have been my father's world at this moment! ”

This Ha Baoyin is really arrogant, if it weren't for the fact that everyone knew the results of the battle, they would really think that he had defeated Daqi in the south.

"Bao Yin!"

However, Nahakoye knew that his own family was the loser now, so he naturally had to bow his head under the fence.

"The princess is really a big mouth, although this palace is a deep palace woman, she also knows that soldiers are not tired of cheating. Could it be that fighting on the front line still has to be like a child? ”

Li Shenlan cares about Yin Chen, and naturally doesn't like to see others disrespecting him. Seeing Ha Baoyin's several times of squeezing Yin Chen, Li Shenlan couldn't help but refute for a while.

Na Ha Baoyin looked over and saw that it was Li Shenlan shouting behind Yin Chen. After looking up and down, he replied disdainfully:

"This princess has learned the culture of your Central Plains, and looking at your dress, it is just a Zhaoyi position. is just Zhaoyi, and she is also worthy of shouting with this princess. ”

"Since the princess has studied the Central Plains culture, she naturally knows that my Central Plains people treat people with courtesy, and the so-called status is secondary.

The princess is arrogant and pampered, and when she enters my Central Plains, I am afraid that she is just a person on a par with a beggar. ”

Li Shenlan was also unceremoniously, not relying on Yin Chen to do whatever she wanted, but she just couldn't get used to seeing Ha Baoyin like that.

After saying a few words, not to mention the princess's angry words, even Concubine Xiang smiled and gave Li Shenlan a thumbs up.

"Well, Neiko is easy to make trouble during pregnancy, which is also the reason why I am used to it too much on weekdays. Since the princess is also used to being raised by the Nanban King, don't worry too much. ”

Yin Chen was originally a joke, but it made everyone present change their faces.

Let's say one thing, didn't that Hakoye just plug Yin Chen's mouth with such words, so that he didn't care too much about Ha Baoyin. The so-called eye must be repaid, and this is what the battle of words and tongues says.

Second, this Daqi has always attached great importance to the distinction between concubines and concubines, and the word "Neizi" has always referred to the main wife in the Central Plains. Yin Chen called Li Shenlan like this, and the queen and concubine Xiang who were present didn't care, even the civil and military officials behind her, including the father and son of the Zhao family, all frowned.

Li Shenlan also didn't expect Yin Chen to say this, and subconsciously looked at the queen and saw that there was no change on her face. Hurriedly looked at Concubine Xiang again, Concubine Xiang felt her eyes look sideways at herself, and then slowly shook her head.

After listening to Yin Chen's words, Ha Baoyin noticed Li Shenlan's slightly bulging lower abdomen. I don't know what my idea is, my eyes unconsciously shine, like a cunning fox.

The crowd exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then drove back to the palace.

After entering the palace, Li Shenlan was very tired after tossing back and forth. In addition, he had to attend a dinner party in the evening, so he said hello to the queen and the queens, and went back to Yongfu Palace to rest in a hurry.

As for Yin Chen, naturally he also had to entertain the princes and princesses of Nanban, mainly to discuss the affairs of the two families in the future, so he hurriedly took the Zhao family father and son to the Yangxin Palace.

This group of people left only the queen and Concubine Xiang. The two of them were also bored, so they simply withdrew the sedan chair and walked in the palace, which was also considered to be distracted.

"Don't think too much about it." Concubine Xiang suddenly instructed the queen very seriously.

The queen is not a fool, so she naturally knows what Concubine Xiang is referring to. Wen Yan also shook his head gently, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of bitterness.

"I didn't think much about it, I know what the emperor thinks, but I feel uncomfortable when I look at it."

Concubine Xiang also knew what the queen was uncomfortable with, why did Yin Chen do this, if he talked about this drama, he would never get tired of acting. It's just that even if it's a fake show, the queen feels a little uncomfortable in her eyes.

What's more, the two of them are so good friends with Li Shenlan, the most painful thing in this world is that in a play, I know the ending, but I can't change anything.

"Maybe that's fate......"

Concubine Xiang sighed in a low voice, as if she was comforting herself and the queen.

"When your father and brother come back, you should also get together. Count it out that you haven't been out of the palace for a while, otherwise I'll tell the emperor to let you go back to Zhao Mansion for a few days. Your mother has been alone in the empty house for so many years, and you should go and visit too. ”

The queen has always been considerate of the concubine, let alone the friendship of Jinlan like Concubine Xiang.

"It's fine." Concubine Xiang thought for a moment and nodded.

"Even if you didn't say that I also wanted to go out of the palace for a while, do you remember what I told you about Gu Chip last time?"

The queen thought about it carefully when she heard this, and nodded her head hurriedly.

"My people went to check, and it was said that the people went to the empty building, but the traces there, with his years of experience, Gu Chip must have lived."

"You're going to see it?"

"Yes, I've been looking for him for so long, I can't wait to go now."

Hearing this, the queen sighed silently. She didn't want to persuade Concubine Xiang, and she knew that she couldn't persuade her. It's just that Concubine Xiang has been trapped inside, and the queen is really afraid that she will be happy in the end.

"Arlo, don't be too long-winded with me. If you can let go, it's best to let go. It's because of him for so many years, that you make almost no people like people and ghosts, and ...... ghosts."

"Forget it." Concubine Xiang laughed at herself.

"You know best in your heart why I am like this, I would have illuminated the moon in my heart, but the bright moon illuminated the ditch. It was he Yin Chen who took me first, so can you blame me? ”

"Arlo ......"

Even if Yin Chen lost herself, the queen still couldn't bear to listen to Concubine Xiang say that Yin Chen was not good at all.

"Back then, I put the evidence in front of you. Eh, I don't understand you, what is he worthy of you to like him! ”

The queen didn't speak, and she couldn't speak clearly. Just like Concubine Xiang, she won't explain why she is always obsessed with a Gu Chip.

As she was talking, a palace maid hurriedly ran to the two of them, saying that the queen mother wanted the queen to go to Shoukang Palace.

"You go, I'll go back to Jinghe Palace first."

The queen responded, and followed the palace maid to Shoukang Palace.

"The retainers greet the emperor."

The Queen Mother is working for the parrot, and it is said that this parrot has been raised for three or four years. The Queen Mother is not a long-term lover, but it is rare to be able to love something for a long time.

"Here, Ruozhu serves tea to the queen."

"Erchen just came back, and I don't know if the emperor is suitable to find Erchen."

The Queen Mother didn't speak, but silently fed for a while, and when she saw that the bird feed had bottomed out, she put down her things, wiped her hands and sat opposite the queen.

"How many years has the queen been in the palace?"

"Fifteen years and nine months."

"You remember Qing, but you've been a queen for so long, and you still don't look like a queen."

The queen was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but she still got up and knelt down to admit her mistake.

"Do you know what's wrong with you?"

"My son doesn't know ......"

"Today's mourning family at the gate of the city heard that the queen followed the emperor out of the palace, but called a Zhaoyi to deal with a foreign princess. Dong Sijuan, what about your style in the middle palace! ”

It was for this reason, the queen didn't take it seriously at all, and even praised Li Shenlan's majesty with Concubine Xiang when she came back, but she didn't expect the queen mother to know.

"Huang Eniang, Erchen just thinks who said it didn't say...... As long as he can extinguish the arrogance of the Nanban princess, Erchen thinks it's nothing. What's more, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics......"

"Then she Li Shenlan shouldn't be!"

"The emperor's mother forgives her sins, Lan Zhaoyi is also angry for a while, and she is by no means deliberately interfering in politics."

The queen was really worried about Li Shenlan, and for a while she only cared about helping Li Shenlan clear her name, but she didn't expect that the queen mother was not angry at all.

"The mourners are talking about you! For the sake of the past, you are more or less depressed until now. As the lord of the six palaces and the mother of the people, she does nothing everywhere, and even this little thing has to let a Zhaoyi come forward.

Queen, do you really not care or don't know how to be a queen at all! ”

When it was approaching, all the civil and military officials in the harem arrived at the Linhua Hall one after another.

Due to the arrival of the prince and princess of Nanban, coupled with the triumph of the Zhao family's father and son, today's dinner was extraordinarily grand.

"Drink the fruit I prepared for you later, so as not to drink the wine by mistake or be calculated by the villain."

Concubine Xiang instructed Li Shenlan while placing a heavy jar of fruit drinks on the table from her side.

That was specially prepared for Li Shenlan, in order to ensure Li Shenlan's safety at the banquet. In her own words, every banquet has to make something happen to be exciting.

Sitting opposite Li Shenlan, in addition to the eldest princess and the ministers, there were also the princes and princesses of the Southern Barbarians.

Speaking of that Ha Baoyin, it is really enchanting, in the past, I only felt that the eldest princess's dress was already explicit, but I didn't expect this Ha Baoyin to be even more demonic.

"Sister, I heard that Ha Baoyin came to the capital to marry, who do you think she will marry?"

Li Shenlan is rare to gossip, but this is not the first time she met someone who made sarcastic remarks when they met. Li Shenlan was selfish, and she couldn't wait for Ha Baoyin to marry an old man in her fifties and sixties.

Looking at Li Shenlan's playful look, Concubine Xiang smiled helplessly and shook her head.

"They are all people who want to be mothers, and they are still so naΓ―ve. Who else can she marry when she comes, naturally it is the emperor. ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Shenlan exclaimed in a low voice.

"A person like her, let alone the emperor, even I think she doesn't abide by women's morals. Such a person married to the emperor, and after we looked up and didn't look down, we were angry. ”

Concubine Xiang's smile became bigger and bigger, "You, the emperor is really used to every look you are." In the end, she is a princess, and she is more than enough for the emperor. ”

Li Shenlan snorted coldly when she heard this, expressing great disdain.

The feast will not be long before it starts, and the dance floor is full of dancing girls, which is very intoxicating. Coupled with the wine to help the fun, everyone was a little sleepy.

At the beginning of the banquet, Yin Chen announced that there would be no more war between Nanban and Daqi within a hundred years. In order to show sincerity, Nanban pays tribute to 30,000 cattle and sheep every year; In order to show harmony, Daqi will also open the Central Plains to the Nanban to intermarry, and will also send 10,000 taels of grain and grass to the Nanban every year.

Because of this, it can be said that the interior of Daqi is finally peaceful, and everyone is happy. The two Nanban are no longer as hostile as they were at the beginning, and the relationship has also become a lot closer when they push the cup and change the lamp.

"Emperor Daqi, in order to celebrate the friendship between the two countries, Baoyin wants to perform a dance, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Naturally, it's good, I haven't seen the Nanban dance."

So, Ha Baoyin hurriedly went to the side hall, but after a while, he changed his dancing skills and stood in the center of the dance floor.

A rapid sound of the qin sounded again, as if the surging river was rolling eastward, and the huqin was pulled faster and faster, faster and faster, so fast that it was almost breathless.

However, in the midst of this rapid piano sound, Ha Baoyin twisted his waist little by little with his bare feet. The brass bells on the waist and limbs and wrists seem to be catering to the movements of the master, and they can't stop making a crisp sound.

Ha Baoyin sat in a red gauze, and the blouse was just wrapped around the twin peaks that were about to come out when he saw it, and the waist that was unbearable to hold was swinging with the sound of powerful drums.

The slender jade hands waved in the air, like a lotus blooming in the desert.

When the music reached its high point, Na Ha Baoyin turned to the table, and skillfully reached out and brought a jade cup full of wine. Then Zhu lips opened lightly, but he held the wine glass in his mouth and jumped in front of Yin Chen step by step.

The sound of the piano seemed to cater to her deliberately, suddenly changing from hasty to soothing. So I saw Ha Baoyin's lotus arm hooked, his thin waist was soft, and he fell steadily in Yin Chen's arms.

Although Yin Chen didn't mean to hug her, the man raised his chin slightly, and actually wanted to bite the wine glass with his lip to offer wine to Yin Chen.

But maybe even Ha Baoyin himself didn't expect that Yin Chen seemed to be smiling, but his hand suddenly used his strength, and he held up the delicate man again.

Ha Baoyin's eyes were full of anger, and his face was red because of the rejection.
