"I know that Yunxi has something to do, you don't have the heart to deal with the affairs of the court, if you want to leave before, I won't keep you, but now that someone from the Western Regions is coming and the intention is unknown, I always have to leave a trustworthy and capable person in the capital."

As Chu Ci spoke, he put aside the resignation letter handed by Qin Fengyi and didn't look at it again.

"How about you leave Beijing when the people from the Western Regions are gone?" This was said with a sense of negotiation, "Moreover, Yunxi's current situation is not suitable for a long journey. ”

This remark made Qin Fengyi fall silent, of course he knew that what Chu Ci said was reasonable, and he also knew that the Western Regions had always been uneasy and kind. Although the foundation of Great Chu is strong and solid, the Western Regions have always been eyeing Great Chu, and if it were not for the disparity in strength, the king of the Western Regions would not have been standing still and bowing his head.

Even if he has always behaved obediently and paid tribute on time every year, the ministers of the court and the central government know his wolf ambitions and cannot be educated and taken under his command.

"When Yunxi's condition improves, I will leave Beijing."

Qin Fengyi was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to answer. He did not respond to the request of the resignation, nor did he refuse. Chu Ci did not react angrily or displeased with him, he only nodded slightly, which was regarded as an agreement.

"Okay."

Chu Ci knew that being able to say this was already Qin Fengyi's biggest concession.

The two were silent for a long time again, Qin Fengyi was silent, and Chu Ci flipped through the folds, which also made the quiet needle drop in this imperial study audible. Father-in-law Wan on the side didn't dare to interrupt, so he could only stand respectfully, waiting for orders.

"Your Majesty, Commander Lin is here." At this time, a little eunuch whispered in Gonggong Wan's ear, and then Gonggong Wan whispered to Chu Ci, "Do you want to see him?" ”

"Xuan."

After Chu Ci heard this, he dropped the word 'quasi' on the fold, and then covered the jade seal and closed the fold. As for Qin Fengyi, he straightened his back and looked in the direction outside the imperial study.

"I have seen the emperor in my humble position, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Commander Lin is also one of Chu Ci's henchmen, in charge of the palace guards and protecting Chu Ci's safety.

"Get up." Chu Ci's tone was light, "Come here in such a hurry, something happened?" ”

"There was no accident, but the people from the Western Regions wanted to ask to see the emperor, and now that they are at the gate of the palace, they refuse to leave no matter how much they persuade them." Commander Lin replied respectfully, and there was also a bit of helplessness in his words, "The lowly people don't dare to be rude, so they can only dare to ask the emperor and ask the emperor to show me!" ”

"Who's coming?"

Chu Ci's face did not change, but he was somewhat impatient. He said when the people from the Western Regions came, "I will see you tomorrow." This time, it seems, they are not obedient.

"He claimed to be an envoy from the Western Regions." Commander Lin heard Chu Ci's impatience, so his answer at this time was also a little more cautious, "There is also a woman behind him, according to the portraits of the royal family of the Western Regions in the past, it should be the princess of the Western Regions, Xiling Ying." ”

"Xilingying?"

Qin Fengyi frowned slightly after hearing this, he had also heard of Xilingying, that princess was the first beauty in the Western Regions, with a hot temperament, but she was also polite.

"Exactly." Commander Lin also looked ashamed as he spoke, "I didn't get the news before, I just thought that it was the envoys of the Western Regions and some merchants from the Western Regions who entered Beijing, but I didn't expect that Xiling Ying would follow——"

"Let them into the palace." Pi Phi Reading.com

Chu Ci frowned slightly when he heard this, and he also felt a little surprised by Commander Lin's words. He had long known that there would be people coming from the Western Regions, but he didn't find out that Xiling Ying was also among them.

At this time, they only appeared, and I don't know what their idea is.

"Xiling Ying is the pearl of the King of the Western Regions, and this time I came with the caravan of the Western Regions, but I am afraid that I have other plans." Qin Fengyi said, "The so-called caravan is probably not a caravan. ”

This remark made Chu Ci's face pale, and of course he had thought of what Qin Fengyi said. But even if you know that a caravan is not a caravan, so what? People have already entered the capital, can't they be driven back directly?

"I'm afraid that the comer will not be good."

Chu Ci sighed lightly and felt a little headache.

"Maybe it's not as bad as it seems." Qin Fengyi didn't think of anything with Chu Ci, "Xiling Ying is the favorite daughter of the King of the Western Regions, and she came here in person, probably for marriage." ”

"Do you think I'm a suitable concubine now?" Qin Fengyi's words made Chu Ci sneer lightly, "Furthermore, even if the King of the Western Regions intends to marry, he doesn't necessarily have to marry Xiling Ying. ”

"There are not a few young and promising ministers in the middle of the court, and they also match the pearl of the king of the Western Regions." Chu Ci's tone was light, and he was clearly unwilling to have anything to do with Xiling Ying, "The new Shangshu Lang Lin Qingji is similar to him, if he wants to marry, it is not suitable." ”

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Western Regions and the princess of the Western Regions have arrived."

When Gonggong Wan spoke again, Xiling Ying was already standing outside the door of the imperial study with Xili, the envoy of the Western Regions, both of them were dressed in clothes with Western Regions characteristics, which was quite eye-catching.

In addition, Xiling Ying is already beautiful, so at this time, people feel even more unable to take their eyes off. It was said before that he would not be a concubine, and at this time, he was also attracted by his appearance.

I have to admit that a woman with an exotic style is more likely to make people feel like a horse in the end. Of course, Chu Ci didn't look at him too much, and then looked away without deliberately looking at it.

As for Qin Fengyi, he only glanced at Xiling Ying from beginning to end, and there was no surprise or admiration in his eyes, only indifferent and calm, as if Xiling Ying's beauty was not worth mentioning in his opinion.

"Xiling Yao meets the emperor."

Regarding Chu Ci and Qin Fengyi's reaction, Xiling Ying didn't take it to heart. She only saluted respectfully according to Da Chu's etiquette, so that people couldn't find any mistakes.

The same is true of the envoy Siri, who is very respectful. It's just that this attitude not only did not reassure Chu Ci and Qin Fengyi, but became more and more wary of them.

"The princess doesn't have to be polite." Chu Ci smiled and said in a soft tone, "I didn't get the news that the princess would accompany me before, so I was so lazy." ”

"I just came to Da Chu on a whim to take a look, and made a fuss to get my father to agree."

Xi Lingying also smiled, and her face was very bright.

"My father couldn't help but be pestered by me, so I agreed. He also said that since he was coming, he would take a look at the customs of Da Chu, and follow the young lady in the capital to learn the posture of his daughter's family, so as not to be wild. ”

"The princess has a hearty personality, and she can't learn from the daughters of Da Chu." Chu Ci was still smiling, in stark contrast to Qin Fengyi, who was indifferent on the side, "There are differences in customs and customs, there is no reason for the princess to wronged her character, and the king of the Western Regions is serious." ”

"I heard that the emperor of Dachu is young and handsome, but when I saw it today, I feel that this adult is even more beautiful." Xiling Ying looked at Qin Fengyi as she spoke, not realizing that her face had sunk a little because of one of her 'beauty', "I don't know what to call this adult?" ”
