Chapter 398: Needless to say

Hua Manxi finally got a little free at this moment, and he could look at her squarely. However, for Lin Fengxuan's number, Hua Manxi was a little confused at first, because after Lin Fengxuan entered the palace, Hua Manxi simply crossed her out of that kind of to-do matter. At this moment, I still have to think about it to remember a few points clearly. She naturally has her own confidant palace maids, helping to take care of things and supervising the palaces, and at this moment respectfully opened the booklet and reported in detail Lin Fengxuan's every move during this period of time.

Hua Manxi laughed out loud, and felt that Lin Fengxuan was weird and funny, because she was in a high position, and Xu Jinfei was very gentle and pampered, and there was almost no big threat. So it was strange that there was a woman who bothered to deal with her. What's especially funny is that Xu Jinfei just forgot about her in a blink of an eye, she is still working hard and planning.

If Lin Fengxuan is allowed to make trouble like this, others will not think that she is really a soft persimmon, and she is very easy to handle. After laughing, Hua Manxi's eyes also became cold, rubbed the celadon tea lid, and wrote lightly: "A few days ago in this palace, I also dreamed of the wonderful sound of the Buddha, teaching me to be good, and it is best to send a reliable person to enter the pious incense in front of the Buddha." Bengong thought, this matter is sent to other people, it's not good, just let that Lin Fengxuan go, how to say it, there is also a sister in name. ”

The female official knew what she wanted, bowed down and asked, "Niangniang, then you say, in order to show piety, how long should the female official Xuan go, and when will she come back?" Hua Manxi took a sip of sweet flower tea comfortably, and said very calmly: "When the Buddha dreams again, she will come back to her life, okay, the palace is lacking, you want to rest for a while, you close the curtain." ”

Having said that, the concubines who ran away from home and eloped with Xiucai before, Hua Manxi laughed it off, and even arranged it and gave a little dowry, as for whether they were willing to return to the Lin family or not, it had nothing to do with her. She has more, more important things that she needs to face with Xu Jinfei. For example, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the neighboring countries are expected to come to visit one after another. From preparing gifts, rehearsals, to the final departure, the time varies from country to country.

Some countries are closer, maybe a month later, and some are farther away, depending on the invitation from the Ministry of Rites, it may take three or five months. At that time, it will depend on the situation and make detailed arrangements. I heard that recently there is a small country near the sea. Hua Manxi knew that Xu Jinfei intended to consider this aspect, so he also ordered someone to arrange it. In May, when the sun is more warm, the pomegranate blossoms are in full bloom and are as red as fire.

There are three countries that come to visit, namely the Moriki people of the Blue Country, the small country of Jieshi in the East China Sea, and one of them, which is said to live in the desert area, and the name is very difficult to translate into the official language, and Nanyang abbreviates it as the Land of Sand. The three countries respectively brought a thousand-year-old agarwood car, ancient jade that would glow at night, and the country of sand was more peculiar, and only a large handful of sand was tributed. These are the main tributes, and as for the rest of the bits and pieces, they are all in the long list, and they need to be cleaned up by Hua Manxi.

Hua Manxi didn't think that anyone was light and who was heavy, the tribute, it was very good to be useful. But looking at the box of sand, I was also a little curious about what it was for. Most of the envoys made up for Nanyang's official words, and at this moment they held the stone box and said loudly: "This is the supreme divine sand of our sand country, sprinkle it on the wound, the dying will recover from their injuries, and the lost will find their way." The bride will be blessed with it for a long time. ”

Hua Manxi has good eyesight, and has seen many treasures, but after looking at it for a long time at the moment, he felt a little sour, and he didn't see what was chic. But it was just a heart, and I didn't take it seriously, so I waved my hand and signaled the waiter to accept it. In addition to the rare gold, silver, pearls, and jade, there are people in the land of sand who have brought them. Hua Manxi thought that it was nothing more than a beautiful boy and girl, who could sing and dance, and would not be angry in the main hall.

Everyone watched the singing and dancing, among the many musicians, the best dance, is a woman wearing a golden gauze robe, half-covered veil, her complexion is slightly dark, and does not conform to the white skin of Nanyang tradition, but the eyes are smiling, looking forward to the posture, there is a beautiful charm, and the dance, the waist is soft, there is a movement, she is upside down, to hold a flower on the ground. After the dance, many ministers' faces were a little relieved.

Since ancient times, beauties have been lovable, and their hearts are as solid as rocks, after all, they are still a minority.

Some people are thinking about how to ask the emperor for it, even if they don't want the lead dancer in the middle, the rest look like they have deep noses and high eyes, which is quite exotic. I saw that one of the envoys stepped forward and helped the woman with some nervousness. Hua Manxi was wondering, but the woman took off her veil, revealed her true face, and said very happily: "It turns out that the ancient country of Nanyang is such a place, so beautiful." ”

Before the envoy could think of a speech, the woman had already clasped her hands on her chest, and saluted: "Handsome king, please allow me to pay tribute to you, I hope that my recklessness has not disturbed your interest, it is really chic here, and I like it very much." What she said was naturally not a thorough courtesy, but her words were sincere, simple, and natural. Hua Manxi vaguely guessed her identity, and under her sleeve, she gently pinched Xu Jinfei.

Xu Jinfei also smiled, shook her back, then was very calm, and said with his face outside: "You are the master of the country of sand, that is also my guest, you don't have to be rigid about etiquette, okay, come here, show the lord of the country." The woman sat down slowly, her eyes were smart and curious, not only looking at Xu Jinfei, but also at Hua Manxi. Hua Manxi smiled slightly in her heart, and roughly guessed that Xu Jinfei saw through her identity, because this woman's neck carried a sand snail that only the lord of the country could inherit.

The desert is vast, and things related to water are particularly precious. The snail grows only in the underground rivers of the desert, and is a very rare night-blind creature, and after death, it will take many years of carving by nature to become a treasure. The two received the envoys, talked slowly, and finally signed a new agreement, and another day was about to pass. In the end, the little queen lived in the palace temporarily, and then returned to the land of sand with the envoys.

The queen of the land of sand, Nanyang's name should be called Sararo, she is full of curiosity about the magnificent palace, and likes to walk around without stopping for a moment. She doesn't seem to know the rules very well, but she respects others extraordinarily, as long as the palace maid cries and says that we can't go in casually here, she will never force it, and obediently go to other places. After walking for a long time, I was tired of shopping, and I came to the Manna Hall of Huamanxi.

The palace maid was still embarrassed, and the maid outside had already walked over in small steps, and whispered: "The queen has invited Her Royal Highness the queen, come in with me." ”

Sharoro looked at Hua Manxi with some curiosity, but found that she was dressed very simple and elegant at the moment, not as solemn and gorgeous as before in the front hall, and there was a compelling and gorgeous that could not be looked at directly. At this moment, the hall is not a cold, lifeless hall with beautiful decorations, but many objects, and even a small pot and a stove. Hua Manxi's movements are soft, but fast, as if he is kneading some gadgets.

Curious, Saloro walked over and asked. The female official next to her swept her willow eyebrows, feeling that she was not very respectful to the queen mother, but Hua Manxi waved her hand, said that it was okay, and even said with a smile: "How about it, do you want to try it with this palace?" When he looked at it, he could only make out a few dumplings made of white flour, which were small and delicate, as if they were much finer than half a palm, and were wrapped in fragrant meat filling, and there were flour and sesame seeds spilled on the board.

If food can bring people together, I don't think anyone will deny it. Naturally, Sharoro is no exception, learning from the appearance of Hua Manxi, pinching up a thin ball of small dough, filling it with meat filling, holding it and twisting it, and then carefully kneading the folds and small patterns. She stumbled and was not very skilled, so naturally she was not as good-looking as Hua Manxi. Hua Manxi was generous, put people's hands together from behind, and taught them carefully.

After a while, Sharoro's courage also let go, and he said in an unskilled official language: "Queen-Niangniang, what is this?" When you smell it, it smells good. Hua Manxi smiled and said: "Attention, this one should be made into puff pastry, and there should be a hole at the top, this thing, there is no exact name, but I tinkered with it myself, and when the time comes, I can eat it directly out of the pot, and then fry it again, you can also do it." ”

Sharoro tilted her head, even if she stumbled and stumbled, it didn't prevent her from being a girl's brisk tone. "Why, treat me like this. I thought that the people in Nanyang were the same as those men, they were very good at talking. Hua Manxi moved unhurriedly, but slowly, more and more, pinching the top at the moment, pinching into the cage, only then slowly smiled: "The people think that food is the sky, food is the taste first, and this palace thinks that there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Naturally, there was nothing wrong with it, at least, Sararo took a bite and was conquered by the taste. There are also some crushed peanuts and walnuts in it, which is very tasteful to bite into. However, her skin was slightly hot, so she snorted while eating: "The people of the country of sand have advised me to come and see the emperor, and if I can, marry my little sister." Now, though, it doesn't have to be. Our country of sand is particular about mutual affection, even if you give more benefits, if you don't like it, you just don't like it. ”

Speaking of this, Hua Manxi naturally understood that there were courtiers who came into contact with the country of sand. However, this queen is extremely out of the way when she looks at it, and she is really not a pawn to guess and appropriate. Cute is quite cute, Wang Shishi should get along with her.
