Chapter 4: Worship (4)
If it is just a Mongolian king, it is easy to deal with it, this is the court of the Qin State and not the northwest enclosure, and he is fighting at home on his own territory, Lin Yuan is confident that there is no problem. Even if she can't think of a way, it's an idea to keep the door closed, and even if Yuan Lie has a perverse personality, it is impossible for him to declare in front of the countries and the courtiers and people of the Qin State that he wants to bring a Qin imperial concubine back to be a woman - such a big fanfare, other tribes in Mongolia will definitely take this as an opportunity to accuse him of indulging in women and ignoring the country's roots, and then rebel against him to challenge the throne.
However, the worst thing is that Concubine Jing actually got into this troubled water.
Speaking of Concubine Jing, Lin Yuan's anger rose slowly. As soon as she stretched out her hand, she lifted all the meals on the ground on the table in front of her, just like Concubine Jing was angry in the Hehuan Hall at this time.
"How did Wei Mizhuang learn about the entanglement between the Mongolian king and me, and dare to play tricks between the two emperors to deal with me!" She couldn't contain her anger. Two years ago, Yuan Lie's forcible seizure of himself in the paddock had already been suppressed by Tuoba Hong, and after Emperor Wenzhuang married into Mongolia, no one doubted Lin Yuan. But Concubine Jing knew......
After dropping a cup of tea again, Lin Yuan slumped on the chair: "No...... Now is not the time to worry about that...... She woke up at the beginning of the eighth year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, and since then she has begun to plan, secretly spying on the situation in the harem, and will not let go of me, who has just become the emperor's new favorite. With her secret power, it is not surprising that she can know this secret, only this time, this time......"
"If no one helps her this time, she won't dare to do it." Chu Xue said on the side: "Niangniang, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace maid Ah Liang boldly tested Niangniang, but unfortunately the temptation failed and she lost her life." Although we can therefore be sure that Concubine Jing is going to do something to Niangniang, but we don't know her plan, the most important thing is that the Mongolian king Yuanlie is a very dangerous person, she must have nobles to help, so she has the courage and ability to use the Mongolian king to calculate Niangniang. ”
"Yes, you're right." Lin Yuan clutched his sleeve: "I have never been a person who sits idly by. Tomorrow, the envoys of various countries will add makeup to the marriage of Emperor Changning, and we will take this opportunity to attend the celebration. ”
"! The emperor said that you are not allowed to leave the palace......"
"I won't anger the emperor." Lin Yuan took a breath: "I have my own arrangements tomorrow." ”
***
Changning's marriage was publicized by Tuoba Hong, and the envoys of various countries were invited to celebrate together, which was not only to give Changning face, but also to build momentum for Qin. The Qin State always worshipped, either on the birthday of the empress dowager or emperor, or on a big festival such as Chinese New Year's Eve, so that the worship was extremely luxurious.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the right prime minister entered the palace with his family as scheduled, first to meet the emperor, and then to Changning. At this time, Tuoba Hong invited the ministers to a banquet in the Jianzhang Palace and invited the envoys to the table. These envoys had to stay in Qin for at least a month, during which Tuoba Hong sang and feasted according to the ancestral system, which was the ritual of worship. I don't know how much financial resources will be spent on such extravagant practices, it is said that the war should not be like this now, but Tuoba Hong thinks that in the current situation, he should feast all countries, and take this opportunity to win them over and fight against the Xiongnu together.
And Tuoba Hong's approach has gradually paid off. Everyone in the Jianzhang Palace congratulated Tuoba Hong on marrying his first daughter, and the envoy of the Great Moon Kingdom said: "The wedding event is the most lively, my third princess of the Great Moon Kingdom has just turned seventeen years old, if His Majesty the Qin State intends to ......"
Tuoba Hong was pleasantly surprised, he just invited people to have a few meals, and they were about to send the princess over and kiss! In the past, Dayue Guo was not enthusiastic about Qin State, but now he has a little show of favor in exchange for marriage, mostly because he eradicated the chaotic party and sat on the throne the year before last, and people started to make friends.
So where is there anything unwilling, Tuoba Hong pondered for a moment and said: "My cousin, the son of Prince Cheng of the royal family, has not yet married a concubine. ”
The envoy of the big moon was also surprised and delighted when he heard this, according to the instructions of the lord of the country, the princess was to be dedicated to the emperor of Qin as a concubine, but the emperor of Qin is now thirty and three, the harem is full of not to mention, the Zhaoyuan Niangniang who favors the harem is famous and known all over the world. During the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, he glanced at Zhaoyuan Niangniang from a distance, which was really shocking. Dayue is a small country, and the princess will not surpass Zhaoyuan when she enters the palace, so where can she win Zhaoyuan Niangniang and many beauties in the harem?
But if it is given to the prince as a concubine...... At least in the future, she will be a decent princess and a main room, which is better than losing her life after tossing for a few years after entering the palace. Only if the imperial daughter lives as the prince and concubine of the Qin State for one day, Da Yue and the Qin State can be regarded as close in-laws.
Then he quickly knelt on the ground and thanked him.
"The king of Goryeo gave Qin Changning Emperor Ji an amethyst and a coral in the East China Sea." After the Great Moon envoy retreated, a Goryeo minister stepped forward and kowtowed. Behind him, several Confucian eunuchs carried two treasures, a three-foot-tall blood-red pure-colored coral, and a half-foot-tall amethyst rough.
"Such a treasure shows the sincerity of the King of Goryeo, and this palace is here to thank Changning." Just as the Goryeo ministers knelt down to congratulate Tuoba Hong, Empress Xiao led Concubine Jing and Zhao Zhaoyi to walk in from the front door and saluted Tuoba Hong with a smile.
Empress Xiao's lower abdomen is already obviously bulging, and her face is covered with heavy fat powder, because she has a dignified and noble demeanor in her demeanor, and she is not angry and arrogant, she can't see that she is seriously ill when she dresses up today, but her steps are vain and her complexion is dull, which makes people feel that she is weak.
The envoys of the countries saw several concubines dressed in colorful clothes entering the palace, and saw that the head of the head was dressed in a bright yellow embroidered phoenix brocade robe, wearing a purple and gold nine-tailed phoenix crown on his hair bun, and his posture was graceful and noble, knowing that this was the queen of Great Qin, they couldn't help but turn to her and kneel down and kowtow. The Goryeo envoy smacked his tongue and said, "I didn't see the empress during the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and I thought that this lady on the right was the empress of Daqin!" When I saw the queen today, I knew that the queen of Daqin was born with a phoenix, and it was not for us and other laypeople to admire. ”
Because it was to add money to Changning's wedding, Tuoba Hong originally arranged for Zhao Zhaoyi and Concubine Jing to enter Jianzhang Palace for a banquet as Changning's elder daughters, but he didn't expect the queen to come in person. He hurriedly got up and helped the queen to sit with his own hands, and reprimanded in a low voice: "You are so sick, what are you doing when you come out!" ”
"Worshipping such a big event, it's really not like a concubine not showing up." Empress Xiao didn't say much, sat down and nodded with the courtiers of various countries. Tuoba Hong reluctantly let her sit, and glanced up at the envoy who spoke: "On Chinese New Year's Eve, the empress was sick and could not attend, why did you still recognize the wrong person?" ”
The envoy didn't panic, and said: "The minister doesn't dare, but that day, I saw a lady beside Your Majesty who was extremely well-dressed and good-looking, and I thought it was the queen!" I saw the real queen today, and I knew the true face of the phoenix, and the lady on the right side was really different from the queen. ”
The "lady on the right" in his mouth is Concubine Jing. This person is also quite bold, and when he worships in other countries, he is unscrupulous, and Concubine Jing was ridiculed by him, her face turned white and red for a while, and she bit her lip so that she never had a seizure. Unexpectedly, Tuoba Hong glanced at her unhappily at this time, and said casually: "Concubine Jing was dressed up too gorgeously that day, no wonder people admit that they are wrong." ”
The emperor said casually, Concubine Jing would not be so stupid as not to understand. She hurriedly knelt down in a panic, and kept kowtowing: "The emperor forgives the sins, the emperor forgives the sins!" The concubines were dressed luxuriously because the banquet was too grand, and they did not intend to overtake the queen's mother! The concubine would not dare to offend the queen mother even if she died......"
"That's enough, get up." Tuoba Hong said lightly: "If you make an unintentional mistake, I won't blame you." I hope you will remember today's words and never offend the Queen. ”
Concubine Jing even claimed that it was, and got up in a panic and stood aside.
Empress Xiao sat upright, with a smile on the corner of her lips and disdain to interject. The wife of the right prime minister, Xiao Zhen, the first order, Zhen got up to toast her, and the envoys of Western Xia presented a box of valuable rouge from the Tianshan tribe and exchanged for a city to give to the queen, and Empress Xiao thanked them one by one, but she was too lazy to pay attention to Concubine Jing.
Seeing the battle in the harem of Great Qin, the envoys of the Great Moon only felt a chill down their spines, and once again rejoiced that the imperial daughter did not marry the emperor of Qin.
While talking and laughing, the queen, as Changning's mother-in-law, was the first to add makeup among the female dependents. She took a sachet from the tray of the palace maid behind her, put it in the golden basin in the center and said, "This black jade unicorn pei is still the reward of the first emperor." Changning is the emperor's first daughter to marry, and this jade pendant will be handed over to her to inherit. ”
Empress Xiao Su Rili and Zhao Zhaoyi's mother and daughter get along very strangely, and they neither make enemies nor friendships. Today, she actually took out the treasures of the emperor to add makeup, and Zhao Zhaoyi hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank Changning on behalf of her. After that, Concubine Jing and other high-ranking ladies added head jewelry, silk cloth, spices, rouge, etc., and several ladies also threw the bracelets and bracelets on their hands into the gold basin, and finally it was the turn of Princess Chen of Xiliang.
Chen buried his head to death, took out a pearl bracelet from his sleeve, and sent the palace maid into the basin.
"Princess Liang is not very happy." Yang Qi's wife, Duchess Rongguo, squinted at her eyes and sneered: "Seeing that the princess's face is pale and gloomy, isn't it that you are unwilling to bless His Royal Highness Changning?" ”
The forces of the DPRK and China are intertwined, and Yang Qi and the King of Xiliang have always been at odds with each other, and the two have many disputes. Yang Qi relied on himself as a veteran of the three dynasties, the official worshiped the Taifu, and the king of Xiliang relied on himself to be the emperor of Yunzhou as the emperor of the soil, and no one let anyone. Tuoba Hong felt a headache when he looked at the mean face of Duchess Rongguo, so he had to come forward to play a round: "Princess Liang is sick to attend today, and she is already unwell, so naturally she can't talk and laugh like you." It's just that the princess is also thoughtful about Changning, Princess Liang, what do you say? ”
