Although she didn't know what tricks the Tubo people were playing, Tao Yao still paid a little bit of attention, and when Li Xian held a banquet to entertain the Tubo mission, she also paid special attention to the people around Shang Zanlu, and sure enough, it didn't take long for her to see the young man who seemed to be out of place.

He was dressed in Tibetan clothes, with a full beard, and seemed to bow his eyebrows respectfully, standing quietly behind Shang Zanlu, but his overly tall and straight posture and his eyes that patrolled secretly from time to time did not look like an ordinary servant. Tao Yao narrowed her eyes when she saw it, and when she met Shangguan Wan'er's hintive gaze, she smiled slightly, and lowered her head and drank the wine. Although she is the protagonist of today's banquet, there is obviously no room for her to play here, or honestly make a vase, anyway, no one will care about how she performs.

After a round of singing and dancing, the wine was already half-drunk, and most of the Tibetan envoys were entertained with smiles, and even Shang Zanlu, who had been cautious and cautious, showed a little joy, and raised his wine glass to Li Xian and Wei, who were seated, and greeted: "Thank you to Your Majesty and the Empress of the Tang Dynasty for your hospitality, so that I have the honor to see the style of the great country in Tubo, which is really beautiful and extraordinary, and it also makes us look forward to it and admire it to the extreme!" ”

"The envoy is overrated." Li Xian smiled and said nothing, but Wei Shi, who was dressed up on the side, took the conversation, with a graceful ** style: "You are guests from afar, not to mention that you are with great intentions, in order to marry my princess of the Tang Dynasty and go to the divine capital, even if it is for this affection, we, as the host, should also be courteous, and we must not be lazy." ”

"The queen is polite." In the face of this diplomatic rhetoric, Shang Zanxuan coped with it with ease: "It's just that after the two countries made a marriage alliance, they were far apart, and they never saw Her Royal Highness the princess again, and the Queen Mother regretted it every time she mentioned it." Now that the wedding date is approaching, I don't know if it is convenient for His Majesty and Niangniang to let me wait to see the princess's dignity, and also order the ministers to repair a book in advance to comfort the Queen Mother's longing heart of her old man? ”

In Tibet, it is not a big deal for women to show their faces in front of outsiders, and their folk customs are open, so it is not uncommon for aristocratic women to openly cross horses to hunt. In contrast, although the famous ladies of the Tang Dynasty often cover up their status with things such as fences or hats to show their respect, they are not so harsh that they can't meet foreign men. Yes, Li Xian agreed very happily, and directly pointed out Tao Yao's location, which also meant that the two parties had seen each other. After all, this is going to be married, wouldn't it be embarrassing if the man still doesn't know the bride? Even if the Tibetan Zampu himself did not come in person, it was necessary for his envoy to pay a visit.

There are not many dignitaries who come to the banquet today, and there are not a few nobles who are full of pearls and emerald clothes. In addition to Princess Anle, who is as charming and charming as ever, Shang Zanlu doesn't think there are other more eye-catching women. But the moment Tao Yao got up, he still felt that the temples and temples had lost their color, and only the girl in a flowing light purple dress was where all the light was tonight.

Speaking of which, this girl is not very well groomed, whether it is the light purple palace dress, or the glazed hair ornaments wrapped between the sideburns, they are just ordinary styles, Shang Zanlu only needs a casual glance, and he can find many more ingenious than her. However, these are the things that make her extraordinarily otherworldly in the Qiluo, and you will not notice such a person when she sits quietly, but once she wants to stand up, you will never be able to take your eyes off her. Snow-skinned flowers, eyebrows and lips, especially a pair of peach blossom eyes hidden under the thick long eyelashes, extremely clear and deep, rippling horizontally, silently has already hooked the soul, and she smiled, although only the corners of her lips were lightly raised, but through the infinite style in those eyes, Shang Zanlu only remembered the grand scenery of the peach source that he had seen by chance in the suburbs of Shendu.

"What a peach blossom in the world, all the scenery in this world is only in her eyes." Shang Zanxuan sighed secretly, and glanced at the man standing behind him who seemed to have fallen into some kind of affection without a trace, and then smiled and respectfully saluted the purple-clothed girl: "The Tibetan envoy Shang Zanlu saw Her Royal Highness Princess Jincheng, saw Her Royal Highness's jade face, and knew that Her Royal Highness was healthy, and she would be very pleased to come to the Queen Mother's old man's house." ”

"Your Excellency, the messenger is excused." Tao Yao was smiling, and he had been paying attention to Shang Zanlu's every move, and of course his small movements could not escape. While standing in front of the people in a dignified manner, letting everyone look at her, she looked at the young man who was almost stunned with interest, but she already had a bold guess in her heart.

It was only a matter of moments for the two sides to meet, and soon, the banquet continued. Tao Yao couldn't bear to be long-winded, and she didn't want to accept pity or disdain from all sides, and she didn't want to be repeatedly looked at by Li Bao'er's cold and poisonous snake-like gaze, so she immediately found an excuse and sneaked out of the hall. Anyway, her task today has been completed, and what happens after that is nothing more than a group of men constantly tugging and testing political considerations, it doesn't matter if she is there or not, it is better to go back to the Moon Palace as soon as possible to rest.

It's a pity that although her wishful thinking is played well, someone can't help but deliberately sabotage it. No, just after turning two corridors, she was stopped in a small corner. And today, in order to get out without attracting attention, she sent Hongfu and the others back very early. So, at this moment, she was alone, in the huge imperial city, blocked by a stranger in a corner not far from her bedroom. Tao Yao looked up at the sky and found that there were no stars or moons tonight, and the snow that had stopped at dusk suddenly flew up at this time. From time to time, scattered snowflakes flew into the porch, blowing on her sideburns and hair, and Tao Yao was so cold that she couldn't help but raise her hand and tighten her white rabbit fur. That delicate and flawless little face, reflected in the dim palace lamp like a bean, looks extremely delicate and moving.

In the future, you have to look at the yellow calendar when you go out. Tao Yao looked at the black-clothed figure who was more than half a head taller than herself, and just muttered wordlessly in her heart that it was not suitable to travel. This person stood with her back light, and she couldn't even see the outline of her face clearly in the night, so she didn't plan to guess anything, just waited helplessly for the other party to speak. She didn't believe that this man suddenly appeared just to scare herself, as long as he spoke, then there was still room for talking.
