Chapter XXXIV
Several people in the court had a dispute over the reception of the envoys, one faction said that they should be greeted outside the palace, and the other faction said that they should be greeted at the city gate, and the two factions quarreled over the matter. In the end, the emperor expressed his position and said that in order to show our great power demeanor and show the friendship between the two countries, we still greeted us at the city gate. He sent King Duan to meet him.
King Duan waited at the gate of the city with a group of people, and King Rui muttered beside him: "What's the matter, our dignified prince is guarding the gate of the city to greet the foreigners." ”
"Show the demeanor of a great country."
"What kind of bullshit big country demeanor, why haven't they come yet?"
"Report that the envoy of the prince will arrive soon."
"Send someone back to the palace to report the news."
"Yes."
"It's coming, it's coming."
"The messengers have worked hard all the way."
"It's really an honor for me to be here."
"Please."
After the envoy entered the palace, he arranged a place to stay and rested, and held a feast in the evening. In the main hall, the emperor and the queen sit at the top, and at the bottom are the concubines and the prince. Below are the ministers, and the messengers. Singing and dancing at the banquet leveled down.
The envoy raised his glass: "Your Majesty, it is a great honor to be here and I hope that the friendship between the two countries will last forever."
The emperor raised his glass: "Okay, dry." ”
The crown prince sat aside, and the expression on his face remained unchanged. The feast lasted two hours before it was over.
The prince went straight back to the prince's mansion, he sat on the soft couch, and a servant knelt down to report what had happened these days.
"Prince Qiqi, Lord Zhao and others jointly wrote to the emperor to ask the emperor to relieve your grounding, and the emperor reprimanded you. and Lord Li was exposed by Lord Xiao for a series of crimes, which have been verified and have been beheaded. In addition, several adults have been transferred to serve under other princes. ”
"Okay, they want to climb the high branches for them to climb. How is the mother there? ”
"Concubine Wan was ridiculed by other ladies, but nothing else."
"It seems that I have to fight for this throne."
"What does the prince think he should do?"
"You go and pass Zhao Yin."
Zhao Yin came late at night: "What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looking for me?" ”
"Lord Zhao, my situation is very worrying now, what do you think?"
"The prince has just lifted the ban, you should keep a low profile to preserve your strength, and now that you don't have many people, you have to recruit more talents."
"I know this, I think there is something wrong with my father's attitude, I have to strike first."
"It's natural, but you have to figure it out before you decide."
"Okay, I can wait a little longer, you can go back."
Lily of the valley went to the prince's mansion today, she was selected by a grandmother in the house, in a group of women, lily of the valley showed that she was not afraid, not petty, and had a stable personality. She has been taught and specially studied. Now that I have entered the Prince's Mansion, I don't know where I got it. The lady took her to a courtyard, and after a while she came out and took the lily of the valley with her.
"This is our crown princess's side concubine, don't salute yet."
Lily of the valley knelt on the ground: "The slave has seen the crown princess." ”
"Look up."
Lily of the valley looked up. "It looks good, so let's stay. But if you don't follow the rules, get out. ”
"Don't worry, concubine, I must do things well and dare not have other thoughts."
"That's good."
"It's good if the side concubine likes it, I just see that this girl has a flexible mind, and I think that the side concubine will bring it if you like it."
"There's Mama Lao, little cui."
The grandmother smiled even more happily when she heard this: "The old slave Xie Concubine Xie." ”
After going out, the grandmother explained to Lily of the Valley again: "Since you are also your blessing to be favored by the side concubine, the side concubine is still a good person, and the rewards and punishments are clear, as long as you abide by the rules, it is a good life for her." ”
"What Mama said is that the slave and maid must follow Mama's teachings."
"You have a number in your heart, what to say and what not to say, what to see and what not to watch, and some things to pretend not to see, the people in the palace are complicated, you have to be careful not to be taken advantage of."
The grandmother also likes Lily of the Valley, so she said these heart-wrenching words to her.
"Mama don't worry, I follow the side concubine with all my heart, and I don't care about other things."
"Okay, you're doing it yourself."
"Walk slowly."
"Miss, there are a lot of officers and soldiers on the street today."
"There must be some big man coming."
Someone next to him said, "I heard that the envoy from the country is coming, and the emperor sent someone to meet him at the gate of the city."
"Such a big battle?"
"Not really."
"Ah green, Xingchun, let's go back quickly."
"Miss, the government has come to inform you that they want you to go to the hall for dinner."
"Is my dad back?"
"The master is back."
"Father, Mother, I'm back."
"Sit down, Han Zhao?"
Lee: "I'll be back soon." ”
"You also take care of him, it's time to marry a daughter-in-law, see if there is a suitable one. Don't let him run away all the time. ”
"Master, he doesn't listen."
"Dad, I'm back."
"Oh, we're all waiting for someone, I told your mother to find an errand to do in the future, don't run around."
"Dad, what do you ask me to do, I don't know anything."
"I can't learn it, who will you rely on when I die?"
Han Zhao stammered and didn't know what to say. Qian will liven up the atmosphere: "Okay, master, the children are here, let's eat." ”
"Eat."
Tang Han took the chopsticks and ate them by himself, regardless of what others thought. Han Yu spoke: "Jin'er heard your mother say that you opened a shop?" ”
Tang Han raised his head and replied, "Yes, it has just opened." ”
"I didn't expect you to think like that."
"Father, I won't be able to do anything else, and I can support myself by opening a shop."
"Girls, don't be too tired, although our house is not very good, we can still support a few of you."
"Father is very good to us, I just want to do something, idle and bored in the house."
"Okay, if you want to, just open it."
"Eat more. Your grandmother said that the Queen Mother would let the school-age women in Beijing enter the palace for a banquet in a few days, you should prepare well, the Queen Mother has a good relationship with your grandmother, so let her pick and choose for you. ”
When Han Ningxue and Han Wenya heard this, they both had smiles on their faces. Tang Han was really not very happy, she knew that she would see the heroine this time. The heroine appeared at the banquet held by the Queen Mother in the book, Tang Han didn't want to go, and he didn't know if he could escape. According to the temperament of her mother, Aunt Zhang, she should want her to go. Judging from his father's tone, he also attaches great importance to this banquet, Han Zijin in the book is jealous with the heroine at the banquet, so the queen mother dislikes Han Zijin very much, and even has a bad impression of Han Ningxue and Han Wenya, so they hate Han Zijin. Now as long as she doesn't go out of the limelight and doesn't provoke the heroine, it shouldn't be fine.
