Chapter 44 The Prince of Persia Qin and Jin are good
It's just three or two days' work, and Si Yanque's identity in Beijing is no longer the young owner of Kunlun Villa, and the envoys from Persia all call him: "His Royal Highness the Prince." The envoys entered the capital in a grand manner, and their clothes and clothes were all eye-catching, especially the Persian women, whose faces were covered with veils, revealing only two bright big eyes, fluttering and blinking, and dressed gorgeously, woven with a veil of gold thread, and softly draped over their shoulders. The gold and silver bracelets on the wrists and the bells on the feet make the sound of collision as you walk. Many of the men didn't blink their eyes until their wives twisted their ears and they came to their senses.
After the departure of the Persian envoys, there was still the strange smell of all kinds of spices, and many Persian merchants wore felt hats, and the original language was not very neat, and they were inarticulate in the streets selling goods brought from the Western Regions. Many women's chic jewelry, beautifully made, the cloth is gorgeous and good-looking, spices are not common in the Central Plains, just take a little and put it in the sachet, there is a strange fragrance.
Jin Xuansi has been fine recently, but the Persian envoys came to Chang'an, but there was a lot of noise, the defense of the palace city became stricter, and the Jinxuan Division's manpower was also placed all over Chang'an, staring at the movements of the Persians.
Shangguan Wan and Si Yanque have already met each other, but a few times they have met, he is dressed as a Central Plains person, wearing a plain robe, his hair is tied up high, and he loves to hold on to fans like ordinary men, but a pair of blue eyes and a towering nose bridge can see his foreign ancestry, Simen Gongzi, he is the only one who has broken into the fame.
Si Yanque was wearing a Persian outfit today, gorgeous knitting, bright colors, wearing a felt hat on his head, and his black hair was braided into several braids, hanging down from the white felt hat. The envoy was in front of him, stepping into the main hall, the empress sat upright, many ministers were below, the Persian group stepped forward, Si Yanque saluted: "See Her Majesty the Empress"
The empress said gently, "The Persian group is far away, the boat is tired, and it is hard."
Si Yanque arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty Wan'an, the minister's boat and car are nothing, in addition to paying tribute, I also want to be able to pass through Qin and Jin." I, Persia, would like to be the queen and only look to the horse. ”
The empress was slightly stunned: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, and the Persian prince will stay in Chang'an for a longer time." ”
Li Chongrui and Li Chongyu heard that Si Yanque had a good intention of going through Qin and Jin, and the two of them had different mentalities, but they all looked at Shangguan Wan beside the empress, Shangguan Wan thought about it, Your Majesty only has a biological princess Qiong'an has not yet married, this time Persia is not far away, and he must not be willing to ask to marry a princess who is casually sealed by a clan girl.
"This time Persia came, there are still many things to discuss with the empress, this Chang'an is going to stay longer, and I hope the empress will not be angry with our small country. This time, Wei Chen ordered the envoy to bring some gems and spices, as well as some rare treasures. Si Yanque said gently, and the envoy behind him stepped forward and handed the gift list to Gonggong Cao.
The empress opened it gently, saw the number of names on it, and closed it gently, with no emotion on her face, but said: "It's Persia who has a heart." My children are also above the court, Prince of Persia, and if there is something important these days, I can also look for them. ”
After that, Li Chongrui and Li Chongyu, as well as Li Yulin, the three royal highnesses and several other princes who came out of the palace also stepped forward and bowed their hands. Si Yanque said: "Your Highness. ”
After the audience in the palace, the empress rubbed her forehead, Shangguan Wan helped her, and the empress asked: "Do you know how many rare treasures that Persia sent, although I have a lot of resources in the land, and those objects are not rare, but Persia is now becoming stronger, although there are many enemies around." I don't have to worry about the soldiers going to deal with the chaos over there, and I have the idea of figuring out Qin Jinzhi's good, I'm afraid it's not good to refuse this time. ”
Shangguan Wan said gently: "Prince Persia, if you want to live in Chang'an for a long time, find a reason to refuse, Princess Qiong'an is your youngest child, it is really hard to marry far away, and the language is not clear, and the living habits are different." ”
The empress shook her head: "If things are so simple, I don't have to worry, how can I put my own family before the country when I govern a country." ”
Sending His Majesty back to Weiyang Palace, Shangguan Wan also went out of the palace and returned to the house, Li Chongrui had been waiting for a long time, as if the tree in her courtyard had become a shelter for him every time he came, and he flew down, she was stunned, and he held her in his arms.
"I said, Second Highness, why are you two faces in front of you and behind you, everyone says that His Royal Highness King Yin is a cold person, how come you have become a scoundrel when you come to me. The old tree in my courtyard can't help but be sheltered by His Royal Highness the Second Highness. Shangguan Wan leaned on his chest and said with a smile.
Li Chongrui let go of her and gently scraped the tip of her nose with his hand: "Lord Si Qing is a face in front of and behind people, with sharp teeth in front of people, and sharp teeth in front of people, and sharp teeth in the future. ”
She laughed softly, but Li Chongrui deliberately kept a straight face, she stretched out her hand and shook Li Chongrui's arm, and Li Chongrui couldn't keep his face cold: "I really can't do anything about you." ”
Shangguan Wan made him a pot of tea: "Last time, I said that Si Yanque was afraid that he had the intention of getting married, and today it was true."
"I don't know what the Queen thinks." Li Chongrui said.
"The interests are piled up, and the consideration also needs to be thought about step by step, and everything is thoughtful. Si Yanque's dual identity, I'm afraid what is hidden is confusing, and I don't know what the purpose is in my heart. Do you have a good relationship with the Third Highness? Shangguan Wan put the tea in front of him and asked this.
Li Chongrui took a sip of tea and asked, "Why do you say that, I am a compatriot with the third brother, the fourth brother and the same mother, and naturally we have a deep relationship." Besides, you were also involved in the last Dengzhou case, and he was sincere in the matter of King Alcohol. ”
She paused before smiling slightly: "I naturally asked casually, but you yourself once told me that being born in the royal family, brothers, friends and brothers are all luxury things." In this matter of Persia, Jin Xuansi will keep a close eye on it, although they dare not make a mistake, but they are afraid of causing trouble in the capital. As for the incident in Yuxing Tiandengzhou, I haven't done anything yet, the Yun Gang has business dealings with the countries of the Western Regions, Second Highness, I'm afraid that the Yun Gang under your command will have to be busy recently. ”
Li Chongrui: "A few days ago, I heard that Persia was coming to Chang'an, and I had already sent someone to follow me all the way."
"I work for the empress, so some things will inevitably be unpleasant, but I won't wronged anyone, and I won't let go of anyone who wants to cause trouble." Shangguan said gently.
"Today's matter, I'm afraid that the palace people have already spread the news that Persia came to marry the princess, Qiong'an has always been arrogant and grew up, and the mother queen has not refused. I know who you are, and I believe in who you are. Although I don't like the existence of Jin Xuanji, and most of the henchmen around the mother emperor don't believe it, I believe you. After Li Chongrui finished speaking, he took another sip of tea and said, "It's not too early, I'll go back first, just to see you." ”
Shangguan Wan looked at his back as he left, and muttered to herself in her heart, believe me? Do you really believe me? If you know the huge secrets and hardships hidden in my mind, and know that the ministers of Beijing over the years have also been laid out behind me, what should you think of me
