The send-off team set off from the imperial capital of Tanglin and walked on the road for a full month and eight days before arriving at the royal capital of Western Xia.

The world is full of flowers in April, but the king capital of Western Xia is still full of flowers and trees, and in the twilight of spring, the willows have been clinging.

Xiao Ruyue looked out through the window and smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms, as if she was in another world.

It's been a long time, this city where I grew up.

The last time I saw this city, it was a few days before she gave birth ten years ago, but I didn't expect this parting to be ten years long. The city, however, has not changed at all.

The people of Western Xia did not pay too much attention to the princess from Tanglin, let alone expect the grand occasion of thousands of empty alleys when the Tanglin Emperor bid farewell to the princess. Only the officials of the Ministry of Rites greeted him at the gate of the palace, and it was late.

What's even more unfortunate is that today is not only her coming, but also the day when a county lord from Tatar officially holds a wedding banquet and enters the palace. Before she entered the palace, things got interesting.

The man in the official robe led the other dozen officials, kneeling in a neat row, looking through the curtain, but he was saluting Yuwen Xiao, who was walking with the family sending team, and his posture and demeanor were very respectful.

Then he turned in the direction of the carriage.

Xiao Jingyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, led a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites to meet Princess Sanssouci. Because there is something in the palace today, the ministers are late to greet the princess, and please calm the princess's anger. ”

The familiar name made Xiao Ruyue shocked, Xiao Jingyu, Jing Yu.

The fair-skinned and weak plain hand opened the curtain, and the woman with a light veil poked her head out of the window, the tulle covered most of her face, leaving only a pair of autumn pupils to show people.

When the water eyes saw Xiao Jingyu, the secretary of the ministry, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Xiao Jingyu is a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, as beautiful as a crown of jade, born very delicate, exuding a bookish atmosphere from top to bottom, serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but it is very suitable.

The young man back then, the boy who was not a few years younger than her, but who called her aunt and often followed her to take care of her, has now grown into such a beautiful man.

But it was only for a moment, Xiao Ruyue returned to normal, and said in a soft voice: "Your country, from the lord to the general, to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is so young. It's a young country. ”

"Princess Sanssouci has been tired all the way, she must be tired, please enter the palace with the lower officials to rest first." Xiao Jingyu didn't understand the meaning of her words, and respectfully asked.

"Not busy. There is one thing that this palace must ask clearly. As Xiao Ruyue spoke, she had already lowered the curtain and sat back, her gentle voice revealing laziness and momentum that could not be ignored.

"If this palace is not mistaken, the lord of Western Xia asked my imperial brother to marry the princess of my tomb as the queen. But I just heard you mention that there is still a noble concubine entering the palace tonight, and the noble concubine still has a lot to do when she enters the palace, since this palace is the queen who wants to enter the middle palace, how can she enter the palace so hastily? If you spread it, you will be laughed at, and there is no one in my tomb. ”

"This ......" Xiao Jingyu didn't know how to talk for a while.

Shen Liang chimed in: "What the princess said is reasonable. The monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom asked to marry my princess Daling as the queen of the middle palace, if there is no wedding banquet, what kind of system will it become? ”

All the officials in Western Xia were silent and looked at Xiao Jingyu one after another.

Xiao Ruyue in the carriage said slowly: "Lord Xiao either tells your lord and greets you with the honor of a queen; Either that, prepare a hotel for the main palace to stay, otherwise, the main palace will stay in this carriage tonight. ”

Xiao Jingyu's face was full of surprise when he heard this, "Princess, there is no one living in this car?" You are still ......" as he spoke, but he looked at Yu Wenxiao, who had been silent next to him.

Yu Wenxiao said in a light tone: "Princess Sanssouci, what Lord Xiao said is true. Princess Jin Zhi Yuye, where can this carriage live? The princess may wish to enter the palace to rest first, and then discuss it later. ”

Xiao Ruyue laughed lowly, and said firmly: "The king is carefree, far away from his homeland, helpless, and has nothing to say. But I don't have to worry about understanding that as a princess of Daling, I have no reason to enter the palace without a matchmaker. Please arrange the wedding banquet, announce the whole of the Western Xia Kingdom, and then come to the palace without worry. ”

Yuwen Xiao's brows narrowed slightly, and he did not refute Xiao Ruyue's words. The Western Xia officials present all had surprised expressions, but Shen Liang's face all changed.

The atmosphere suddenly became stiff.

Xiao Ruyue had long expected such a situation in her heart.

Along the way, she has been paying close attention to Yuwen Xiao, and when she entered Western Xia, she was afraid that Yu Wenxiao would toss something, and even ordered Shen Liang, the leader of the team to send her relatives and the right general of the original Yu Linwei, to keep an eye on him.

It's not that she's too careful, but that she can't do without her heart to guard against others. Even if Western Xia wants to marry Tanglin, there will still be some people who want to get in the way. Moreover, as the younger brother of the monarch of Western Xia, a person who can inherit the throne justifiably, if Yuwen Xiao wants to make a hindrance, it is reasonable.
