Chapter Seventy-Four: I Envy You
She was thinking about it, a team of palace maids outside passed by outside her palace holding the newly made Yunjin clothes of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and when she saw it, her eyes lit up: "My lord, this is the clothes of the women of the Xiling Dynasty?"
Zheng Mingli, the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office, was flattered when he heard her "adult" all the way, and immediately turned around: "Ouch, it's Lord Jin Wuyan."
He smiled and saluted Jin Wuyan: "Lord Hui, this is the newly made cloud brocade made by Si Yiku, and I am about to take it to the Internal Affairs Office to store it, and he will distribute it to the mothers of each palace in the future."
"The palaces?" Jin Wuyan asked, "The emperor's mother, are there many?" In the past, she had only heard of Concubine Wen.
"Yes, in all dynasties, the sons of heaven in the Xiling Dynasty are all beautiful and 3,000, but my courtesy Wen Guifei Niangniang is the most favored, and the favor of other concubines will be less." Zheng Mingli replied truthfully. Jin Wuyan nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Your Excellency." She suddenly looked up and asked, "Can you give me a beautiful woman's dress?"
Zheng Mingli raised his head and looked at her with some astonishment: Could it be that this prince of a foreign country has a cosmister fetish? However, in the next second, a smile appeared on his face: "That's nature." The emperor said that the two envoys were the princes of the Western Xia Kingdom and the guests of the Xiling Dynasty, so they naturally had to be thoughtful. If you like it, you can choose a few of these clothes. ”
Jin Wuyan looked at Zheng Mingli ignorantly: "This ...... May I? ”
Zheng Mingli nodded, and Jin Wuyan walked over and picked out a lake blue one from a pile of delicate and bright clothes. She knew that her complexion was dark and she couldn't wear too bright clothes.
Zheng Mingli saw it, picked out some beautiful beads and jewelry accessories from the Internal Affairs Office, and sent the palace people around him to send them.
Jin Wuyan closed the door, and with the help of Jin Feng, the attendant maid, he changed into the clothes of a woman of the Xiling Dynasty for the first time.
Jin Feng looked at the woman with deep facial features and clear eyes in the bronze mirror, and sighed softly: "Princess, it turns out that it is so difficult for you to wear women's clothes from the Central Plains!"
"Really?" Jin Wuyan remembered Su Wenmei's fair-skinned and tall appearance with peach blossoms on her face during the day, and she couldn't help but feel inferior. Her hand slowly stroked her face: she always felt inferior for no reason in front of Su Wenmei.
If the two of them were standing together in women's clothes, Su Wenmei would naturally be better.
"How do I compare to Concubine Wen? Who is more beautiful? Unconsciously she asked.
"Mother." Jin Feng was stumped by Jin Wuyan's question, and thought for a while: "Concubine Wen can get the emperor's long-lasting grace, naturally she will be captivating the country and the city."
"But the princess is not bad, the princess has deep facial features, and she looks very charming, not to mention that the princess is the most beloved child of the emperor and the queen, these are all not available to Concubine Wen." Jin Feng replied.
However, in Jin Wuyan's ears, it was no match for Su Wenmei.
Jin Wuyan lowered his head and patted his head, unable to see his expression clearly: "Jin Feng! This princess loves your sincerity! ”
……
In the afternoon of the next day, Cheng Qian was busy with the affairs of the court, and in the afternoon he sent the minister to negotiate with the envoys of the Western Xia.
The Western Xia Kingdom is a defeated country, and Xiling can treat the prince of the Western Xia Kingdom with courtesy, which is already very polite. As for the compensation for the cession of land, the Xixia Kingdom invaded first, and if they didn't show some sincerity, the ministers of the Xiling Dynasty would not easily agree.
Western Xia was a defeated country, so it was naturally in a weak position in negotiations. However, since the Western Xia sent the prince to negotiate peace, it is enough to show the sincerity of the Western Xia Kingdom, so in terms of playing Xiling, the Xiling Kingdom is also up to them.
The post station not far from the palace was vacated, and the brother and sister moved to the post station, ready to go to the Xiling Night Market to have a good time. Su Wenmei couldn't help but be very envious when she heard what Jin Wuyan said, so she went to ask Cheng Qian.
It stands to reason that when the envoys visit, they were accompanied by courtiers, but Cheng Qian, under Su Wenmei's soft grinding and hard soaking, also agreed to her request to go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. As the master of the harem, Su Wenmei can approve whether others leave the palace or not, but she can't leave the palace at will.
This is the law set by Cheng Qian. He was afraid that Su Wenmei, as a concubine, would make it convenient for him.
At night, the two settled down in the palace, changed into a pair of purple regular clothes, and got into a carriage and left the palace. At the gate of the palace, I saw Jin Wuqi and Jin Wuyan.
Jin Wuqi was dressed in a black and gold robe, and Jin Wuyan was wearing the lake-blue dress of yesterday.
Cheng Qian couldn't help but be very surprised when he saw the appearance of Jin Wuyan's women's clothes: "Aren't you the Jin Wuyan yesterday?" How do you ......"
"Your Majesty." Jin Wuyan learned from the appearance of a woman in the Central Plains and blessed his body: "Jin Wuyan has never said that he is a man, so he can't be considered a bully!"
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Xiling's night market is very lively, and the four people are playing, and they are very happy. Cheng Qian and Su Wenmei walked in front, Jin Wuqi and Jin Wuyan walked behind, and Jin Wuyan looked at the backs of the two people in front.
"Hey! Fourteenth sister. Jin Wuqi touched her arm and looked at her with his eyes: "Are you in love with that emperor boy?"
"Not really!" Jin Wuyan didn't overdo it: "How can I like men."
Jin Wuqi walked forward by himself, and after a while, he threw out Jin Wuyan a few steps: "If you like it, be brave, go back to Western Xia, maybe you will never see it again in your life."
Jin Wuyan was silent, she didn't know what Jin Wuqi said, but it was easier said than done. He is so close to Concubine Wen, if he shows that he likes him, he probably won't be moved, it should be very embarrassing!
Cheng Qian and Su Wenmei walked in front, Su Wenmei saw a delicate rabbit lamp and liked it very much, so Cheng Qian bought two, Su Wenmei and Jin Wuyan each one.
Originally, it was just an ordinary move, but Jin Wuyan blushed, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time after Cheng Qian turned to leave, looking at Cheng Gan's back in a daze.
"Hey!" Su Wenmei touched Cheng Qian's arm: "That girl seems to like you!"
Cheng Qian glanced at Su Wenmei: "That's his business, what does it have to do with me?"
Having said that, she always felt awkward, and Su Wenmei also had a little taste in her heart. After some fun, it was already late, and Su Wenmei followed Cheng Qian in the direction of returning to the palace.
The two Jin Wuqi brothers and sisters followed behind, and they wanted to send Su Wenmei and the others back to the palace first, and then back to the post station.
It was very lively along the way, and when passing by the crossroads, a beggar grabbed Su Wenmei's sleeve: "Girl, okay, I haven't eaten for three days......"
Su Wenmei was soft-hearted, she didn't have any silver on her, so she looked at Cheng Qian on the side.
Cheng Qian understood, reached out and took out the silver in his sleeve, but the moment he looked down at his sleeve, the beggar took out a bright knife and was about to pierce Su Wenmei's heart!
"Be careful!" Cheng Qian reacted very quickly, and seeing that the knife had been pulled out, Cheng Qian blocked in front of Su Wenmei. The knife was about to stab them. One of them staggered, and they both fell to the ground.
Zhao Xunzhi was protecting Cheng Qian in the dark, and just after a thrilling scene, his men were about to jump out. But seeing Jin Wuyan make a move, Zhao Xunzhi waved his hand and signaled the people under his hand to stand still.
Zhao Xunzhi intuitively felt that things were not so simple, maybe there were assassins behind them, and it would be bad for them to expose them too soon.
Jin Wuqi was a little far away from them, and Jin Wuyan was the closest to them, so she was quick and kicked the assassin disguised as a beggar. The assassin had some kung fu on him, and perhaps annoyed that the woman in front of him had ruined his plans, he picked up the dagger and stabbed it at Jin Wuyan.
"Ahh He frowned at his sister's painful appearance, put Jin Wuyan in the corner of the wall, and said softly, "You wait."
After saying that, Jin Wuqi rushed forward and fought the assassin who looked like a beggar.
At this moment, a lot of assassins came from nowhere, rushing in the direction of Su Wenmei and Cheng Qian. Su Wenmei and Cheng Qian also stood up, always on guard. Zhao Xunzhi and others in the shadows also appeared and fought with the man in black.
"You take care of Princess Xixia, I'll help Zhao Xunzhi." Cheng Qian grabbed Su Wenmei's wrist and threw her to Jin Wuyan's side, Jin Wuyan's side was relatively safe, and Cheng Qian didn't want Su Wenmei to get into danger.
Su Wenmei looked at Cheng Qian, who was fighting side by side with Zhao Xunzhi, and couldn't help but sweat. At this moment, Cheng Qian can put down the shelf of the emperor's Ninth Five-Year Honor and fight side by side with Zhao Xunzhi, which can be said to be very unshelf.
When he fights, he is elegant and a little sharp, even if he looks at his back, he is also very handsome.
Jin Wuyan snorted in pain, attracting Su Wenmei's attention, Su Wenmei turned her head and looked at Jin Wuyan who was almost fainting in pain. Her forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat because of the pain.
Su Wenmei took out the handkerchief in her sleeve to wipe her sweat: "Little princess, you bear with it, when they beat these people back, we will go back to the palace, you will be fine!"
However, looking at the knife inserted into Jin Wuyan's heart for several points, Su Wenmei was also extremely scared. Faced with such a scene, she also knew that she was a little at a loss.
An assassin seized the opportunity, passed through the gap between Zhao Xunzhi and Cheng Qian, swung his knife up, and went straight to Su Wenmei's life. Cheng Qian's eyes were quick, and he rushed up to stop the assassin.
Su Wenmei wanted to go up to help, but was pulled by Jin Wuyan at the corner of her clothes.
"Guifei Niangniang......" Jin Wuyan shouted weakly, Su Wenmei listened, and also squatted down, her ear close to her lips: "What did you say?" What do you want to tell me? ”
"I ......" Jin Wuyan glanced at Su Wenmei deeply, made up his mind, and said weakly: "I envy you so much...... Really, I envy you so much...... He...... So care about you......"
Su Wenmei's body stiffened.
