Chapter 149: The princess provoked before entering the palace

On the day when Princess Yina of Xiliang entered Beijing, the army opened the road in front, escorted behind, three Bao Gaihua cars walked in the middle, Princess Yina sat in one of the most gorgeous carriages, the carriage of Xiliang is not the same as the carriage of Dadu, there are many gadgets with Xiliang characteristics hanging on it, the embroidery on the body curtain is complicated and gorgeous, so that people can't help but look at it twice.

Behind the three chariots were twenty carriages without covers, all of which were loaded with the dowry given by King Xiliang to Princess Yina and gifts to Emperor Jiawen.

Those maid guards wearing Xiliang's characteristic costumes followed at the end, forming a beautiful landscape.

The onlookers surrounded the roads on both sides, and watched Princess Xiliang's motorcade go straight to the post house.

In addition to those who came with Princess Xiliang this time, there were also Xiliang envoys.

Emperor Jiawen held a banquet at night to entertain Princess Xiliang and his envoys, and the royal son-in-law and daughter-in-law accompanied him.

Mu Mingshu was not very interested in such a bustle, but as Princess Rui, she had to go.

The husband and wife dressed according to the quality and entered the palace at dusk, Zhao Yiheng is a man and goes forward, Mu Mingshu is a woman from the harem, when the two are separated, Zhao Yiheng specially told Mu Mingshu: "Princess Xiliang is not a good one, you should be careful everywhere." ”

Mu Mingshu nodded in response, and muttered in her heart, she didn't know Princess Na Xiliang, even if she had a bad temperament, she couldn't burn the fire to herself for no reason.

This time to receive people from Xiliang, the banquet and drink were all prepared by Concubine Han and the queen hand in hand, saying that it was hand in hand, but Queen Zhu had lost her face since she was reprimanded by Emperor Jiawen last time, and all the rights in her hands suddenly returned to Concubine Han's hands, and where could she get involved in the banquet.

The lights in the jade and hall are brilliant, the decoration is gorgeous, the palace maids serve wine and food in an orderly manner, and the fragrant clothes and sideburns are shadows, looking at it lively.

Mu Mingshu and Zhao Yiheng sat on a low table, sitting cross-legged on the futon of rich flowers and flowers, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the three envoys of Xiliang were greeting Emperor Jiawen in the Central Plains dialect with their feet.

Emperor Jiawen was not in good spirits, but after saying a few words, he asked a few envoys to sit down, and the eunuch outside then pinched his throat and sang: "Princess Yina of Xuanxi Liang enters the palace." ”

Mu Mingshu looked sideways, and saw a twenty-eight-year-old girl coming in from outside, with two black and long braids hanging down on her chest, embroidered headbands wrapped around her head, melon seed face and big eyes, long eyebrows and sideburns, red lips and white teeth.

She was dressed in a long red and nude dress, which was embroidered with many intricate and gorgeous patterns, and an armless sheepskin gown was also put on the top of the gown, which was embroidered with a beautiful pattern, and the red jewel waist seal pinched her waist.

The neckline and cuffs were also embroidered with many rare flowers, and there was a row of plum-shaped silver ornaments on the top, lace embroidered streamers, a pair of silver scarlets around the neck, a pair of ruby earrings on the ears, and four or five agate and jade rings on the hands.

At his feet is a pair of cloud shoes with a nose, the tips of the shoes are slightly upturned, and the body of the shoes is embroidered with the pattern of several waves of clouds.

She raised her head slightly, straightened her back and walked into the hall, and greeted Emperor Jiawen with Xiliang's salute Fang clan, only then did she hook her red lips, and glanced sideways around the hall, and finally fell on Zhao Yiheng and Mu Mingshu, paused for a moment and moved away.

Emperor Jiawen's gaze just stopped at Princess Yina's face for a breath, then half-closed his eyelids and said, "Give Princess Yina a seat." ”

The people of the palace stepped forward to guide Princess Yina and led her to the desk opposite Zhao Yiheng.

Princess Ina looked at the position, frowned, and asked, "Why am I sitting here?" ”

There was originally a slight sound of speech in the hall, but when she heard her say this, it was suddenly so quiet that it could be heard.

Emperor Jiawen's face was unwavering, and he still half-closed his eyelids, and said, "This is the rule." ”

Princess Ina pouted in disbelief, stomped her feet slightly, walked back from Xin to salute Emperor Jiawen, and asked, "May I ask the emperor of Dadu, how did you set these rules?" ”

Emperor Jiawen only opened his eyelids at this time, glanced at Princess Yina, and said with a smile: "The culture of Dadu is broad and profound, if you want me to explain it to you at once, I can't explain it clearly." ”

And he said, "The princess is about to take her seat, and the banquet is about to begin." ”

Princess Ina was very dissatisfied with Emperor Jiawen's perfunctory remarks, and pointed her slender fingers: "Then why do they sit together, and I want to sit alone?" ”

Wherever the finger went was the position of Zhao Yiheng and Mu Mingshu, Mu Mingshu frowned, she didn't know what this Princess Ina meant, she looked at Zhao Yiheng sideways, and saw that he didn't give Princess Ina a a look, and he was holding a white jade pot to pour wine.

Emperor Jiawen didn't bother to answer to this nonsense Princess Ina, raised his eyebrows, and the sweaty official stepped forward to explain: "Back to Princess Ina, His Royal Highness King Rui and Princess Rui are husband and wife, and they can sit at the same table, and Princess Ina is only a boudoir woman now, and she sits alone." ”

When Princess Ina heard this explanation, she was a little displeased, and said to Mu Mingshu with side eyes: "You are his wife?" ”

Mu Mingshu was puzzled in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he got up and saluted slightly, and said without humility or arrogance: "Yes." ”

Princess Ina became more and more displeased, frowned tightly, and suddenly asked, "Then can I change places with you?" ”

Mu Mingshu's strange gaze fell on Princess Yina, she wasn't sure if she was really stupid or fake, the official had already made it clear enough, she actually openly asked for a change of position? Sitting at the same table with Zhao Yiheng?

Seeing that Mu Mingshu didn't answer, Princess Ina said again: "I'll change places with you." "This time it's not a request, it's an order.

Mu Ming was relieved, no wonder Zhao Yiheng repeatedly said that this Princess Ina was not good, and there were hidden feelings that she didn't know about.

Now that it was early autumn, the ceremonial officer was already in a cold sweat wearing a not thick official uniform, and he stepped forward and respectfully said to Princess Ina: "Princess, this is not etiquette, princess, please take a seat." ”

Princess Ke Yina just took a fancy to Mu Mingshu's position, and didn't listen to the words of the official at all, and said bluntly again: "This princess wants to change positions with that princess Rui." As he spoke, he raised his chin slightly, and said to Mu Mingshu with an arrogant look: "I'll change positions with you." ”

Mu Mingshu glared at Zhao Yiheng viciously with slightly sideways eyes, but saw him turn his head and smile at Mu Mingshu, stretched out his hand and scratched her palm, Mu Mingshu glanced at him again, and said to Princess Ina with a smile: "Concubine Shu can't do it." ”

Princess Ina obviously didn't expect Mu Mingshu to reject her so blatantly, and she was immediately furious, but she heard Mu Mingshu say again: "Princess Ina most of them pay the most attention to etiquette, and they also pay attention to honesty. He added: "In addition to the elders, only the princess can sit at the same table with the prince, not even the side concubines, and Princess Yina is Princess Xiliang, so she can't do it even more." ”

Mu Mingshu: What does this mean? If she says this, she doesn't know etiquette at worst, and she doesn't know shame when she says it deeply.

This jar full of vinegar is fragrant, so Zhao Yiheng couldn't help laughing, pulled Mu Mingshu down and sat down, and smiled at Princess Yina: "If you want to come to Princess Yina, she must be a person who understands etiquette and shame, please take a seat." ”

The two of them sang and harmonized, how Princess Ina couldn't understand, she was angry, her face was red, her fists were clenched tightly, and she looked at a fight that was about to start.

At this time, one of the three envoys who accompanied him came out of his seat, he was tall and thin, with two mustaches on his face, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he looked very kind, he had a white headcarf wrapped around his head, and he wore a dark blue robe of Western Liang, and a belt around his waist.

Walked up to Princess Ina and saluted Emperor Jiawen and said, "Your Majesty, our princess has always been pampered, and it is inevitable that there will be some abruptness, and I hope Your Majesty will not take it to heart." ”

After speaking, he bowed slightly to the Rui Wang couple, and the Rui Wang couple also got up to return the salute and sat down again.

Princess Naina seemed to be very afraid of the envoy, and as soon as he stood up, she suppressed her anger, but saw the envoy smile at her: "The princess is seated." ”

Princess Ina pursed her lips, unconvinced, but in the end she stomped her foot and sat down at the seat arranged for her first.

Mu Mingshu glanced at Zhao Yiheng, but saw him grinning, looking stupid.

Princess Ina sat down, and the feast officially began.

Emperor Jiawen and several envoys of Xiliang had a word without saying a word, and what they said was just superficial things, and the really important ones would not be said on such an occasion.

Mu Mingshu looked at his nose and nose, looked at the cold dishes in front of him, and had no appetite, so he simply took a small wine cup and drank two glasses, Zhao Yiheng even filled it for her with a smile.

After a while, the dancing girls of Si Le Fang came in one after another, twisting their thin waists, straddle the lotus steps, and dancing their water sleeves, the dance posture was soft and the rules were not very new, and the men here were used to seeing the wind and the moon, and they were not interested in these, so Mu Mingshu would look at them twice.

Princess Yina of Xiliang obviously didn't like this kind of slow and impersonal dance, and after watching one dance patiently, I thought that the next one would be a little better, but it turned out to be similar to the previous one, and she suddenly felt a sense of superiority and sneered: "The dancing girl raised by the capital dynasty, which is known as the state of etiquette, is so uninspiring." ”

Her voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone here to hear, as if it was a defiant gesture.

Emperor Jiawen didn't have a good impression of this young Princess Yina, and no matter how bad the meritorious children of the Dadu Dynasty were, he would definitely not raise such a girl.

He waved his hand, the music stopped dumbly, and the dancers bowed silently in an orderly manner, still smiling with half-eyelids on their faces: "Why did Princess Ina say this?" ”

Princess Ina glanced at Zhao Yiheng, then put her eyes on Mu Mingshu, who was slightly red, and said half-loudly: "Most of your dances are not as good as my Xiliang's dances." ”
