sent the old beggar away, and then through the old beggar's scheme, although there were some waves halfway, but the rumor was finally suppressed.

It wasn't until no one inside and outside the city was infinitely spreading the previous limerick that Zhuang Mingyue's uneasiness in her heart relaxed a little.

However, when Long Yuanxiu and Long Zhengning joined forces, before they could take out the things about the imperial examination system and implement the plan, all the things in the plan were interrupted by the visit of a group of people.

"Who?" Zhuang Mingyue sat at the table, holding the teacup and looking at the mountains of folds in front of Long Yuanxiu, and asked a little strangely.

Long Yuanxiu sighed and said, "It's a visit from a small country that has never communicated with us before, it's nothing more than some barbarians in the wilderness."

In his words, Long Yuanxiu didn't seem to welcome the visit of this group of people, but the arrival of these people attracted Zhuang Mingyue's attention.

"The Wild Lands?" Zhuang Mingyue asked Long Yuanxiu with great interest, "Tell me, I haven't heard of it yet, I don't seem to have ever had the impression of people in this small place before, right?" ”

Long Yuanxiu nodded and said: "It's just a small tribe, because the well water didn't interfere with the river water before, so I didn't pay much attention to them, this sudden visit, there must be fraud in it, but in order to show respect, my father handed over this matter to me and the imperial brother to deal with."

The matter of receiving this visit from the small tribe fell on Long Yuanxiu and Long Zhengning.

Zhuang Mingyue has relaxed since the previous rumors were resolved, just watching Long Yuanxiu busy all day.

I waited until three days later.

Long Yuanxiu got up early that day and put on the nine-pattern python robe worn by the prince, with a dark bottom, a gold-embroidered white jade belt tied around his waist, and a dark robe on the outside.

Combed her hair properly, Zhuang Mingyue turned her head in the courtyard, and when she saw someone suddenly, she was stunned at first, and then reacted after a while, Long Yuanxiu looked at Zhuang Mingyue's reaction with satisfaction and smiled.

"Are they going to Beijing today?" Zhuang Mingyue guessed a lot when she looked at his dress.

Long Yuanxiu nodded: "According to the return of his subordinates, there will be half a pillar of incense to be able to reach the city gate, we must go out in advance to greet us, there may be a banquet in the palace tonight, and I will have someone pick you up at that time."

Zhuang Mingyue nodded.

I watched the people walk out.

As soon as Long Yuanxiu went out on his front foot, Zhuang Mingyue cleaned up himself, dressed up as an ordinary person, and took the two subordinates that Long Yuanxiu left for him before leaving, and sneaked out, intending to see the demeanor of this group of foreigners.

Maybe it was because the news of the visit spread quickly, when Long Yuanxiu and Long Zhengning went out of the city to wait, the street was already crowded with a lot of onlookers, and the more people there were, the less likely they were to be discovered.

Zhuang Mingyue calmly found a teahouse with a good sight and sat down.

I heard it halfway through a pot of tea, and the crowd downstairs suddenly stirred, and I don't know who exclaimed: "It's coming!" Here it comes! ”

Hearing this, Zhuang Mingyue hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand, then propped up the window, leaned on the curtain with one hand, and poked half of her head

out.

I saw that there were officers and soldiers guarding both sides of the road, but they still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the onlookers, and many people occupied a good position and stretched out their heads to take a look.

Zhuang Mingyue watched Long Zhengning and Long Yuanxiu walk in the forefront on horseback, both of them carefully dressed up, plump and handsome, and many peeping little girls were red-faced.

Zhuang Mingyue also rarely turned the tips of her ears reddened a lot, and then the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

When I looked behind me, I saw a group of people dressed in alien costumes.

The people walking in front of them were about guards and the like, but they were dressed differently, and almost half of their bodies were exposed, which made many onlookers quietly open their eyes.

There are two soft sedan chairs again, which are closely guarded around them, and the sedan chair is covered with gauze, which is hazy, and you can vaguely see the figure sitting inside, but you can't see what the people inside look like.

One is pale yellow, and the other is pure white.

Bright yellow is the color of the royal family, few people dare to use it so blatantly, since the color of the sedan chair is already pale yellow, the identity of the person sitting in the sedan chair is naturally self-evident, maybe it is the patriarch of this small tribe, or someone like the prince.

Zhuang Mingyue's eyes widened until the team walked downstairs and tried to see clearly the people sitting in the sedan chair however. The sedan chair was tightly covered with gauze, and even if the wind blew gently, it could only raise a small corner first, and the amplitude of this corner was not enough for people to see what the people sitting in the sedan chair looked like.

I could only watch this group of people slowly walk towards the imperial city under the escort of the Praetorian Guards around them.

Zhuang Mingyue sat back in her place with some regret, listening to the discussion of the people who were also leaning out to inspect just now.

"Why wasn't it windy just now? You can see who is sitting in the sedan chair inside? ”

"Actually, I know who is sitting in the sedan chair, in my family, there are relatives who work on errands in the palace, according to the news leaked by my relatives, it seems to be the princess of this tribe, and it is said that she is very beautiful."

"Princess? Aren't the envoys who come and go in general all officials or princes? Why did the princess come along? ”

"You are stupid, what if someone sent this princess to kiss, after all, our country is vast and rich, the national strength is strong, I don't know how many times around, the small tribes in the corners want to come to us!"

"Which prince do you think this princess will fall in love with?"

"I don't think it's necessarily the prince, maybe it's Your Majesty that people fancy from the beginning?"

"Don't talk nonsense, beware of being caught!"

After someone put forward such an idea, although the others agreed slightly in their hearts, but because on such an occasion, it was really embarrassing to talk about the royal family, and the voice suddenly became smaller, so that Zhuang Mingyue, who was eavesdropping with her ears, could only end up regretfully.

After walking back, Zhuang Mingyue was muttering in her heart, there was a princess among the envoys visiting from this tribe, and this matter had never been mentioned by Long Yuanxiu before.

When I returned to the mansion, I saw a subordinate hurrying over, and when I saw Zhuang Mingyue finally coming back, it was like seeing a savior

took a breath, stepped forward and said, "Master, you are back!"

Zhuang Mingyue glanced at her strangely and said, "Didn't I already say it before I went out?" Just go out and have a look, and I'll be back soon, what's wrong? ”

The little maid hurriedly said: "Just now there was a letter from the palace, saying that the master should prepare first, and then he will enter the palace, and someone will come to pick you up."

Zhuang Mingyue frowned, and said a little strangely: "Didn't the people from that tribe just come here?" Why so suddenly? ”

The little maid shook her head: "The slave doesn't know either, it's just that someone from the palace came to say so."

Zhuang Mingyue sighed, then nodded, and went back to the room to change clothes.

It didn't take long for this end to clean up and dress up, and suddenly a message came from the palace, saying that Zhuang Mingyue was summoned into the palace.

Although Zhuang Mingyue was a little confused in her heart, she saw that this father-in-law who came to pass on sex had indeed seen it in the palace before, so she let the people around her pay attention to it and quickly told Long Yuanxiu the news that she had entered the palace.

sat in a sedan chair and staggered into the palace.

I don't know how long it was, just when Zhuang Mingyue was drowsy, the swaying sedan chair finally stopped, and the duck voice of the father-in-law who came to deliver the message came from outside: "Miss Zhuang, it's already here."

Zhuang Mingyue rubbed her eyebrows, tried to wake up, and when she was helped out of the sedan chair, she realized that it was not the Qionghualou where the emperor was going to hold a banquet.

It's a side door to the harem.

This side gate is very remote, and there are few people, and the guards and palace maids passing by are almost invisible.

Zhuang Mingyue looked at the people around her with some confusion and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the emperor should have held a banquet in Qionghua Mansion tonight, why did you bring me here?"

The father-in-law knelt down in a hurry, and said tremblingly: "Miss Zhuang, the slave is just doing what he is told, and there is a master who wants to see you here......"

Before he could finish speaking, a group of people had already walked in front of him, and at the front was a woman wearing a flowing cloud bun and wearing a colorful dark flower cloud brocade palace costume.

Behind him were a few little maids, and then there was a group of low-eyed fathers-in-law.

Zhuang Mingyue squinted her eyes and recalled, confirming that she had not seen this person, she kept a heart in her heart, and then looked at the person kneeling on the ground and said, "Since someone wants to see me, then you should go out first."

The father-in-law, who had received the order, wiped the sweat from his forehead as if he had been pardoned, and then hurried out of the side door and stopped in a place where the conversation between the two could not be heard.

The woman walked to Zhuang Mingyue before she smiled and said, "Miss Zhuang, it's better to see than to hear."

Zhuang Mingyue also knew that this person should be a certain concubine in the harem, although she had not met, but it was reasonable that she should salute first, so she lowered her body and said, "I have seen this lady."

The woman smiled and stretched out her hand to help Zhuang Mingyue up: "I have heard the girl's name for a long time, and I see each other today, like old friends, and I have been friends for a long time."

Zhuang Mingyue straightened up to her strength and said, "Niangniang is serious, the folk girl is just an ordinary person, how dare she kiss Niangniang."
