Chapter 54: The Envoy of the State of Chen

He Mengxi didn't dwell too much on this issue.

She smiled, but her eyes did not smile: "Lord Wang, it seems inappropriate for you to let me out now." ”

"Oh? How to say this! ”

"Those women of yours have always been hostile to me, I am a guest house, if someone comes to Hecui Palace to harass, do you say I am polite or unwelcome?"

Ling Zixu smiled indifferently and said, "Heh, you are too worried, I have already warned them, and the princess is not in the palace now, no one will embarrass you." ”

"That's good!"

"You are right to have concerns, after all, your status is different now, but you still have to live in the palace for some time, only in the palace, I can protect you."

"Really? I will definitely remember the kindness of the prince, and I will definitely repay it......"

As he spoke, He Mengxi stood up.

"Mama Jiaoxi will be here soon, and I will enter the palace tomorrow to see the driver, you should prepare well!"

He Mengxi bowed slightly, smiled indifferently, and turned to leave.

Ling Zixu looked at her back, thoughtful.

She's changed, or rather she's adaptable.

She quickly adapted to her role, and quickly figured out the cause and effect of the matter, her eyes were firm, less cowardly, and more calm, and a little more elusive.

Teach Mama Xi to arrive soon, the palace etiquette of Shu is very cumbersome, fortunately, He Mengxi can understand it at a glance, and it doesn't take much effort to learn it.

In the end, Mama Jiao Xi praised Princess Chen Guo in front of Ling Zixu, got a lot of rewards, and left with a smile.

In fact, this teaching Mama was borrowed from the palace by Ling Zixu on his own initiative, He Mengxi is not Qin Meiyu, he has a lot of things to worry about, but judging from the results, it is not bad.

Two days later, the will of the palace came, and Chen Meiyu, the princess of Chen Guo, came to see her.

The ceremonial guards, phoenix crowns, and court clothes are all made by the Weaving Department of the Shangyi Bureau in accordance with the regulations of the princess of Shu, after all, this is a diplomatic event, and Shu, as a state of etiquette, is naturally very thoughtful.

Eight large sedan chairs, there are bead curtains hanging around, the top of the sedan chair is inlaid with copper phoenix flowers, the surrounding is arranged with colorful brocade, red tassels, brocade sedan curtains, even the sedan chair man is in the palace.

Sweeping the street, two columns of guards followed, Qingmei and spring, summer, autumn and winter followed the sedan chair, Ling Zixu rode a high-headed horse to follow, and a group of people went straight to the palace.

The palace door opened, and the envoy of Chen Guo came out with his deputy envoy to welcome the golden and precious princess Chen Guo to Chongming Palace.

The Chongming Hall is tall and majestic, it is the main hall of the imperial palace, it is the place where the court discusses politics, and it is also the place where foreign envoys are summoned.

The emperor and empress of Shu sat on the top of the main hall, although the emperor Si Chong looked majestic, but his face was kind, and the queen Yao Shenglian's eyes were blank and tired, as if she was sitting there strongly.

Also, if it weren't for the fact that this was a diplomatic incident, the queen of Shu who had been sick for a long time would not have been invited out.

He Mengxi came with a solemn appearance, a dignified expression, did not squint, saluted upward, and danced and bowed.

Then he opened his mouth to thank him, and the high-sounding words were insincere but must be said.

"Chen Meiyu, Princess of Chen Kingdom, thank Your Majesty for your generous reward, and I hope that the two countries will communicate with each other and be married forever!"

The sound is crisp and loud, as pleasant as a silver bell.

Si Chong raised his hand to signal, and two female officials had already come over and helped He Mengxi up.

Si Chong said: "The world is impermanent, current events change, the princess has been wronged, fortunately, she is willing to come to the bitter end, and see the sun, today I will promise you, if you have any requirements, just ask." ”

This is a great opportunity.

Before He Mengxi could speak, a young man in black stood out on the side and bowed upward.

"Your Majesty, our monarch has instructed that once the marriage between the two countries is confirmed, a rich dowry will be sent, and during this period, the princess's residence must be properly arranged, and in the following meaning, Chen Guo will pay for the purchase of the house......"

Si Chongyi waved his hand: "This doesn't bother, since the two families are seeking a good marriage, even if it is the palace of Shu Kingdom, the princess can live, it depends on the princess's meaning." ”

Si Chong looked at He Mengxi, today's He Mengxi is not the same as the last time he was shackled and clothed.

The phoenix crown is beautiful, the makeup is exquisite, the skin is better than the snow, the eyes are clear, the demeanor is reserved, the complexion is beautiful, the temperament is elegant, the slender waist is full of a hand, the indescribable coquettishness, the lotus step by step is fragrant, the beauty is endless, it is really a first-class appearance, and it actually pressed the beauties of the harem of Shu Kingdom.

Si Chong seemed to sigh, causing Yao Shenglian to look sideways.

He Mengxi's red lips opened lightly, and said: "Your Majesty, regarding the marriage of the two families, there is a word today, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

"Please!"

"My father died, I mourned the new dynasty, although the marriage is a state affair, it is urgent, but I still hope that Your Majesty will have mercy, fists and hearts, and filial piety for three years to be complete, otherwise, I will be uneasy, panic and beg ......for mercy."

As he spoke, his face was sad, and he bowed down slowly, looking at the miserable and pitiful, and the onlookers were all moved.

Si Chong was about to speak, when Chen Guo's envoy spoke.

"The princess should not be grieved, my emperor has given permission, the princess does not need to keep filial piety, the matter is big, and I hope that the princess will take state affairs first!"

This envoy of the Chen State, everyone didn't care when he spoke for the first time, and when he opened his mouth again, he immediately aroused all the ideas, and even Ling Zixu, who had been standing aside absent-mindedly, turned his head to look at him.

This person didn't care about everyone's eyes at all, and his expression was slightly disdainful when he spoke to He Mengxi, and his tone was not a discussion but an order.

He Mengxi has been focusing on her appearance, words and deeds, and at this time, she can't help but look up and look at the person who is talking to her.

This person was dressed in a black brocade robe, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with an ordinary appearance, straight eyebrows and a wide mouth, and an arrogant expression, but he didn't even take her in his eyes.

He Mengxi frowned, and as soon as she turned her head, Ling Zixu was looking at her, and the two of them quickly dispersed when their eyes met.

Suddenly, a person stood up from behind the envoy of Chen Guo, a young man in his early twenties, with handsome eyebrows and a loud voice, saluting He Mengxi.

"Princess, Chen Che, the deputy envoy of Xia Chen, the princess is virtuous and filial, when she came, the new emperor also entrusted, and we assisted the princess to act, although the marriage is a state affair, the matter is slow, there is no need to be in a hurry." After that, he bowed to Si Chong again, "Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty will fulfill the princess's heart, and I am grateful!" ”

Si Chong nodded: "It is true that things must be slowed down, and besides, this time you came suddenly, the marriage is easy to say, but there are so many princes, there are not many who can be worthy of the princess, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Si Chong seemed to be modest on his face, but in fact, the sudden arrival of the envoy of Chen Guo this time really caught him a little off guard.

Most of the adult princes have already married and had children, and with a concubine, Si Ming is not yet married, but he is only sixteen years old, three years younger than Princess Chen Guo.

The rest of the princes are too young to think about it, so there are not many of them of the right age.
