Chapter 40: Temporarily Stopping at the Yuan Kingdom

The Rong State borders the Yuan State, and the two countries form a continent. The Yuan Kingdom is on the northwest side, while the Rong Kingdom is on the southeast side. If Jiang Li wants to send an envoy to Rongguo, then he must first pass through the only country between the two countries, the Yuan State.

could have come directly to Rongguo Port along the coastline, but it was only because there were more Jiang Li and his party in the boat, most of whom were pampered palace maids, who couldn't stand the fatigue of many days of boating and driving, so they decided to temporarily dock in Yuanguo for three days to let everyone get grounded.

Unlike the neighboring Rong Kingdom, the Yuan Kingdom, like Nanli, honors men. South pear and north Tang channel, each with a national teacher. However, the Yuan Kingdom had no faith and only respected the imperial power.

The only mythical color of the Yuan Kingdom is the mysterious mountain range that does not know whether it is virtual or real.

It is rumored that there is a mountain in the northern part of the Yuan Kingdom, and the name of the mountain is not Zhou. In the mountains, there are often sacred birds inhabiting and divine beasts haunting. The successive lords of the Yuan Kingdom all led several people to find clues to this mountain, but they all returned in vain, and even the entire expedition team disappeared.

The residents and elders of the ethnic minorities in the north all said that it was not because of the anger of the gods of Zhou Mountain, so they would kill and destroy all the people sent by the imperial court who mistakenly entered the mountain. Fortunately, the surviving team went to another barren mountain that had not been reclaimed because they did not find the right place, and casually pointed out that the crows and finches had become divine birds.

Jiang Li had heard of the famous name of Buzhou Mountain when she was young, and she longed for it for a while, but then she heard all kinds of rumors, and the more they spread, the more false they became, she only felt that this Buzhou Mountain was a fabricated statement made up by the lord of the Yuan State in order to intimidate other countries and prevent the army from attacking south.

Now Yu Heng, the lord of the Yuan Kingdom, is desolate and unreasonable, and he only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, enjoy and indulge all day. He spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and the original queen was forced to commit suicide by being humiliated by the favored concubine. But he ignored it, and still loved the demon concubine, and it was said that he often did not go to court early for ten days and a half months.

However, the terrain of the Yuan Kingdom is excellent, the capital should be surrounded by mountains, and the outside of the city is surrounded by the sea on three sides, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, over the years, Rong Guo has attacked and annexed several times to no avail. Just because it is an island country, its foreign economic and trade conditions are fully convenient and extremely rich.

Foreign trade is nothing more than a solid foundation laid by the previous ruler. However, Yu Heng sat on empty mountains, the treasury was empty, and he was not diligent in military training, let alone political affairs. Every once in a while, Yu Heng sent someone to kidnap the woman of the good family, and entered the palace as a maid as a concubine, and the life of the people of the Yuan Kingdom was in dire straits.

The Yuan State did not have much contact with other countries, and only knew that it was closed and self-consolidated.

This time, Nanli proposed that the imperial ship dock for three days, but the Yuan royal family did not send princes and ministers to greet and arrange a meeting, but only hastily agreed, but it was over.

Jiang Li's heart is ridiculous, he has seen envoys from many countries, and he has never thought that he has arrived at the door of people's homes, but he does not open the door to welcome him.

I don't welcome it, and I don't fear whether there will be items such as armor hidden in the imperial ship of Nanli Country, and I can't guarantee that I will come to attack the city one night, and I don't have any precautions.

It's ridiculous.

The port where the imperial ship docked is called Xijing Port, and it can be seen that only a few hundred meters into it is the second largest city in the Yuan Kingdom, Xijing.

The first time she traveled far away to leave her own country, Jiang Li was naturally very curious about everywhere. After all, she was still only fifteen years old, and she was secretly excited a day in advance, secretly imagining exotic customs.

Ning Yi is the eldest princess of Rong Guo, and her demeanor and dress naturally represent the customs of her own country. She is like a man, with a straightforward style, uninhibited, and full of stars. I wonder if the same custom is true in neighboring countries?

"My lord, this ship will be docked for three whole days, shall we go down and have a look?" It was Jiangxue who couldn't hold it back, so she asked questions first.

Jiang Li was silent, only thinking hesitantly.

Rinshuang, who has always been steady, couldn't help but persuade: "My lord has been bumpy for a few days, so let's go down and have a look." If you read a book again, you will be dizzy. ”

Jiang Li was still silent.

Jiang Xue simply knelt down and hugged Jiang Li's calf and whispered: "Miss, Miss, my good Miss, Lord Huangli - you deign to get off the boat and get down to earth!" Have pity on the poor slave! ”

Thinking that Jiang Xue had the old wound of kneeling on her knees from breaking porcelain pieces before, Jiang Li couldn't bear to let her kneel, and pushed Rin Shuang. Rin Shuang understood, smiled and carried the silk fabric on the back of Jiangxue's skirt and pulled her up.

Jiang Xue was like a newborn puppy who had been grabbed by the flesh on her neck, and she had no power to resist, and immediately stood up obediently in the direction of Rinshuang.

This trick is very skillful, every time Jiang Xue is coquettish and splashed, it can be completely subdued with just one move.

Seeing that the commotion was almost over, Jiang Li was expressionless and slowly spoke: "Then according to what you said, I will go down and take a look, and I will get on the boat in a while." ”

These two big palace maids are in charge of dozens of palace maids, big and small, and no one in the palace is disrespectful, but at this moment, they are like children, snickering and exchanging glances, thinking that the two of them colluded well and discussed a set of rhetorical tricks succeeded, but Jiang Li had already seen through it and didn't say anything.

"My lord, let's change into gorgeous and beautiful clothes and get off the boat, I must let the people of the Yuan Kingdom see and understand, how beautiful our national teacher of Nanli Country is!" Jiang Xue said eagerly to try, and walked to the four rows of large wardrobes to start preparing.

"Then I'll comb the fairy bun for the adults." Seeing this, Rin Shuang went to look for shavings water and various colored jewelry.

Jiang Li sat firmly and shook his head: "No need, just ordinary clothes, and it has to be more simple, just like the ladies of ordinary official eunuchs." ”

Jiang Xue walked over quickly, with a puzzled look on her face.

Rin Shuang suddenly understood: "The people of the Yuan Kingdom don't know that my Nanli Kingdom Imperial Ship is coming, and they don't know that our adults are coming in person. If you are ostentatious, you will be criticized by others, and you may even cause trouble. ”

When Jiang Xue heard it, she nodded desperately and said, "Yes!" Right, right! Then adults can't wear embroidered phoenixes, just because the phoenix is a totem that can only be used by queens in the Yuan Kingdom. The adult can't wear the crane, if others think that the young lady is a nun, it will be troublesome. Miss's dresses are mostly milky white and white and plain white, and this sudden appearance may be thought to be a ...... of going home for funeral."

Realizing that she had lost her words, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and kneel down to plead guilty.

Jiang Li didn't care about this, just smiled and asked her to get up: "Then tell me, what should I wear?" ”

"There are always women dressed as men in the book, and the young lady can borrow one from Lord Lu Wu to wear!" She healed the scar and forgot about the pain, and began to talk nonsense again.

Rin Shuang stopped: "Not to mention that Lord Lu Wu is a head taller than us, don't forget that we are an envoy to Rongguo." Rong Guo is a women's country, you let adults dress up as men at the moment, where does this put Rong Guo? ”

said a lot, Jiang Li didn't have a dress that could be worn.

In the end, Jiang Li could only let Rinshuang, who was similar to her figure, go to find a brand-new, never-worn azure-colored dress, an ordinary style, and combed the most common lily bun, and checked two or three beaded flowers. It's time to change your outfit.
