In May, the official road into Beijing is full of free cars, horses, and chariots, and the Honglu Temple, which has always been idle, is rarely busy, shuttling through the post house and the yamen every day, arranging the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of foreign envoys.

The first to arrive were Prince Wuji and Princess Sanssouci of Liang State, and the emperor had no children under his knees, so he sent King Dejun with his son Yuwenqin and the two brothers and sisters of Jintong to greet him. Prince Wuji is fourteen years old and is the prince of the Liang Kingdom, and this time he came on behalf of his father, and his speech and demeanor are extraordinary, and he has not weakened his country's demeanor.

Princess Sanssouci is a five-year-old girl, half a year younger than the golden boy brothers and sisters, this time she followed her brother to the Heavenly Empire to see the world, Jing'er was very friendly to her, invited her into the palace to play, Princess Sanssouci smiled shyly, followed the eldest brother and did not talk much.

The envoys of the Liang State entered Beijing, and the palace set up a banquet for them to catch the wind and wash the dust, and the queen was very friendly to Princess Sanssouci at the banquet, so that she lived in the palace and was accompanied by Jing'er and the eldest princess.

Prince Wuji followed the host's favor and instructed his younger sister: "Since the queen likes you, you will live in the palace and play with the lord, don't be willful and noisy." ”

In front of many people at the banquet, Princess Sanssouci was a little panicked and asked her brother if she would also stay? Prince Wuji only said that he lived outside the palace, and Princess Wuji asked her brother when she would come to pick her up, Prince Wuji just smiled, and the palace people lowered their heads and wiped their mouths for Princess Wuwu with a handkerchief, and the princess was speechless.

Jing'er didn't get the news in advance that Princess Sanssouci would live in the palace, and she didn't make any preparations, and the queen just arranged at will, letting Princess Sanssouci live in a side hall with Jing'er first, and then lead her to the room chosen by the princess after the Wanshou Festival.

After the palace banquet, Princess Sanssouci was left in the palace, and the queen smiled lightly: "In the future, this will be your home, you don't have to be restrained, just play with your sisters, your sister Jing'er is now studying in the princess's house, and there are a few classmates, I will ask the palace people to add a table for you, and you will study with them in the future." ”

Princess Sanssouci just lowered her head and stirred her fingers, and the queen said a few words and saw that she just nodded sullenly, so she didn't say anything more, and asked Jing'er to lead her to the side hall to settle down.

The golden boy and Jing'er led her to the side hall, Princess Sanssouci's room was still being cleaned up, Jing'er took her to her room to sit first, and brought her a rag doll for her to hold, Princess Sanssouci still didn't speak, just give it to her, Jing'er and her brother Golden Boy glanced at each other, their eyes were full of helplessness.

"Shall I call you worry-free? You are about the same age as us, if you are not used to calling your brother and sister, you can call him by his name, this is my house, you can squeeze me for a while, and after the birthday is over, we will take you to the house chosen by the princess, where there are many beautiful courtyards and embroidery buildings, and now they are empty, you can choose. When you were in the Liang Kingdom, did you live with your mother, or did you live alone in the same house? ”

After saying that, she felt speechless, she was still so young, so she naturally lived with her mother.

Jing'er Wu talked to herself for a long time, and Princess Worry-free didn't reply to her, she could understand Wuwu's mood at this time, and she didn't care about her, Wuwu's current situation is worse than her.

The golden boy touched Jing'er's arm and motioned for her to look at the doll in Princess Sanssouci's hand, and the pink cotton wool doll leached out a few bean-sized watermarks.

The golden boy brother and sister did not speak, and the room fell silent, except for the sobbing of Princess Sansso, and the thin shoulders shrugged one after another, describing it as pitiful.

Jing'er cast a look at her brother for help, she is not good at coaxing, her brother has always been better than her in this regard, from the queen mother to the eldest princess in the palace, there is no one who doesn't like him.

The golden boy bit his lower lip, although he could coax people, but he couldn't say more sweet words to the strange little girl.

"Sister worry-free, don't cry, you will have fun and study with us in the future, I will treat you like Jing'er, I heard that you are the eldest at home, and you have two siblings of compatriots, you can take me and Jing'er as your brother and sister, we will take good care of you."

When he said this, he caused even more worry-free sadness, she was the youngest daughter in the family, and there were brothers and sisters above, but why did she stay here? How could the eldest brother who brought her leave her? When will the father and queen mother come to pick her up, have you forgotten that she is still a daughter.

This day suffered a great change, in the morning still sat in the convoy into Beijing to see the lively little princess, in the evening in the strange palace forbidden under the fence, she didn't even dare to cry loudly, the queen looked a little fierce, the brother didn't want her anymore, what should she do.

Jing'er patted her on the back of the shoulder and coaxed her with good words: "Don't cry, Ming'er still has to see people, crying swollen eyes are not good-looking." "Since she knows how to cry, it can be seen that she knows her situation, but if she knows her situation, she should know that she shouldn't cry, and she shouldn't cry in the Great Zhou Palace.

There are only two maidservants brought from the Liang Kingdom by the side of Princess Sanssouci, one went to clean up the house next door, only one stayed by her side at this time, seeing the master's gaffe, she was also anxious, and the master's situation could not be worse, if the emperor was disgusted in the palace of the Great Zhou, how could she live in the future, although the two children in front of her were not serious princes and princesses, they were not something that the master could offend

。

"Lord Weng and the eldest prince, don't bother my princess, she just misses her family and doesn't adapt to it for the time being, and it will be fine in two days."

Jin Tong Jing'er deeply understands that she can't remember the situation when they first entered the palace, but I heard the palace people say that they cried day and night when they first entered the palace, and after ten days and a half months, they became honest, and they have been honest until now.

The golden boy brothers and sisters sat with Princess Sanssouci for a long time, and went to the next room to clean up, Jing'er took Wuwu to see, and let her bathe and change her clothes first, until she covered the quilt and lay down, Jing'er did not leave.

Hearing the footsteps of Jing'er leaving, Wu Wu opened his eyes, tears flowed into his hair, turned over and faced the bed, bit the quilt to prevent himself from crying, and wiped all the tears on the pillow.

Princess Sanssouci lived in Kunyi Palace, but the golden boy Jing'er had to follow the queen to learn the etiquette of the state banquet these days, and there was not much time to accompany her, the eldest princess was a little curious about this new sister, seeing that she always had a bitter face and did not speak, she did not like to come over, approaching the Wanshou Festival, the palace was full of people every day, and she had no shortage of playmates.

Chen Guo entered Beijing a few days later, according to the etiquette of entertaining Liang Guo, the palace also set up a banquet to entertain them, Chen Guo's envoy was headed by Chen Wang's younger brother Qing Hou, the so-called brocade clothes and jade face plain hand Qing Hou, that is to say him.

Chen Guo occupies an area in the prosperous and beautiful south of the Yangtze River, with the Yangtze River as the line of defense, although the army is not strong, but it has been defended for so many years, but after the opening of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the vitality has recovered for decades, and sooner or later they will have to free up their hands to clean them up, and they can no longer sing and dance to sit back and relax.

It has always been a beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, the Chen royal family is one of the best, Qinghou is known as Zijian Song Yu, he came to Kyoto in his early years, at that time there were two royal sisters who were not married, and when he saw Qing Hou for life, he almost fought a big fight, and finally stopped this farce and gave them their own marriage, so as not to make the Great Zhou royal family become the laughing stock of all countries.

This time, Qing Hou came, and his demeanor was not reduced, and the younger sister he brought was also beautiful, and she seemed to be a little more beautiful than Qiao Guifei in the palace.
