229. Envoy of the Western Regions
"If a person is like a rainbow, he will know it when he meets above." Tang Muchen looked at her beautiful jade flawless face and muttered to himself.
Su Xiaojin smiled, she liked this praise very much.
After the four of them packed up their belongings, they got into the carriage and went straight to the palace. Su Xiaojin happily lifted the curtain and looked at the bustling street, she hadn't walked around the street for a long time, and she really missed the days before she was pregnant.
"Look, my pharmacy." From afar, she saw that the entrance of her pharmacy was bright, and many people were queuing up to buy herbal medicines.
Tang Muchen smiled, although she is not in the store now, but the business of the pharmacy has always been very good, because the medicinal herbs are effective and the price is fair, over time, people from a radius of hundreds of miles have come here to grab medicine.
Su Xiaojin also smiled, ashamed to say that she hadn't asked about the pharmacy recently, and she had almost forgotten what she had done.
Soon, the carriage stopped on the road at the entrance of the palace, Tang Muchen helped Su Xiaojin get out of the carriage, and told Gu Yu and the others to take good care of his wife, Gu Yu nodded again and again.
At this time, another richly decorated carriage also pulled over. Sitting inside was a fair-skinned and beautiful young woman, looking at Su Xiaojin curiously.
"Miss, that's the little marquis Tang Muchen and his wife." The maid looked at her carefully and hurriedly walked up
The woman nodded, a look of envy on her face. Although he has been raised in a deep boudoir since childhood, he has heard the story of this woman to some extent, and is both curious and adored by her.
"Miss, let's hurry up, otherwise the master should talk again." The maid reminded her to get off the sedan chair, and she hurriedly tidied up her clothes, and only after making sure that she was dignified and generous did she walk to the palace gate with the help of the maid.
Su Xiaojin couldn't go fast because she was pregnant, so she quickly caught up.
"Qin Wenya has seen Mrs. Hou." The woman lowered her head and bowed to Su Xiaojin uprightly.
Su Xiaojin was surprised, she didn't know this woman, why did she respect herself so much? Does she know herself?
Gu Yu hurriedly introduced her, this is Qin Wenya, the daughter of the General's Mansion. The general is old and has a daughter, and he loves her very much. I didn't expect her to attend the banquet today.
Su Xiaojin pulled her and invited her to sit with her. Anyway, she is also alone, and there is someone who can just be a companion. Qin Wenya was flattered and agreed without thinking about it.
The two of them walked side by side to the banquet hall talking and laughing all the way.
The general Qin Yu was greeting Situ Lei, and when he saw his daughter standing side by side with Su Xiaojin, his face showed surprise, but he regained his composure in a few moments.
Qin Wenya is his baby daughter, and she was specially brought to this banquet just to let her see the world and open her eyes. Besides, she has also reached the age of marriage, so he has to quickly find a fast son-in-law for her.
Standing with Situ Lei was also the envoy of the Western Regions, who saw Qin Yu's eyes staring elsewhere, and also followed his gaze curiously, seeing a beautiful woman.
Like a thunderous electric shock, he froze in place and looked at the woman in shock.
He thought about his mouth, unable to believe his eyes.
Is it her? Oh my God, is it really her?
He couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, his eyes were full of tears, and his hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but tremble.
She had a bulging belly and looked like she had been a few months pregnant. It seems that she is married, is that person good to her?
He lowered his head, ashamed in his heart, and a thousand words came to his heart. Seeing her dressed in brocade, she must have married a rich and noble family. At first, I thought I would never see her again, but I didn't expect God to look at it, and they actually met again here.
Su Xiaojin always felt that someone was staring at him, and he was uncomfortable. But she looked around and didn't see anything unusual.
Soon, the banquet began, and both the queen and the queen mother came. The Queen Mother saw Su Xiaojin bowing slightly, with a kind smile on her face. Su Xiaojin also smiled at her, feeling that she was like her amiable grandmother.
Meng Shangshu looked at Tang Muchen and his wife coldly, and felt uncomfortable for a while. Didn't the emperor want to stay in office to investigate, and why did he invite him to participate in the banquet. Isn't that tantamount to publicly admitting his innocence!
I was still unwilling to think about it, so I walked up to Gonggong Yang to inquire. Gonggong Yang is also a smart person, and said with a smile that the list of invited guests this time was drawn up by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the emperor only notified it to various places after looking at it. The implication is that inviting Tang Muchen is the emperor's intention, even if you have any opinions, you have to abide by my will.
Meng Shangshu didn't say anything more, and sat down to drink angrily.
At the banquet, the emperor praised Situ Lei by name for his beautiful errand, and rewarded him with two pearls and 100 silk horses. Situ Lei hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and said that the envoy of the Western Regions still has rare treasures.
As soon as he heard the rare treasures, Su Xiaojin's eyes straightened. She craned her neck to look at the messenger of the Western Regions to see what treasure he was holding in his hand.
No, this person is so familiar!
She stared at the envoy from the Western Regions who offered the treasure, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. So much so that Qin Wenya on the side talked to her, but she didn't hear it.
The ancient rumor was puzzled, and she whispered Mrs. in her ear, and she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, embarrassed to say that she was a little rude to look at the baby by herself.
Qin Wenya shook her head with a gentle smile on her face. Su Xiaojin is the same age as herself, and she is frank and gentle, she is really a rare woman.
Gu Yu lowered his head, wondering if this envoy of the Western Regions was his father. She believed that her eyes could not be wrong, and even though his face had changed a lot over the years, and his weather-beaten face with a sleek smile, she still recognized him at a glance.
Daddy, is it really you? Are you still alive?
Su Xiaojin had 10,000 questions in his heart, but he could only bear it silently at the moment. This was a banquet, and she couldn't rush forward to ask.
Tang Muchen looked at her lost through the crowd, and was a little surprised. Didn't you make a fuss about coming in the morning, why did you look preoccupied at the moment, did something happen?
He put down his wine glass and wanted to come over to her, but was pulled by the second prince Xiao Wenxuan. The other party said that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he said that he would get drunk today. He couldn't refuse, so he could only continue to stay in his position and drink with Xiao Wenxuan.
"Your Majesty, my Western Regions produce beautiful jade, and this blood unicorn is the best in jade, and today I specially dedicate it to Your Majesty for Your Majesty to enjoy." The envoy of the Western Regions knelt respectfully on the ground holding a piece of jade.
Qin Wenya sighed, it is really the best in jade. This blood unicorn is blood-red, transparent and shiny, and it is really beautiful. Look at the clear lines, even the eyes of the unicorn are carved vividly, and it is a rare and superior work.
Su Xiaojin was in no mood to care about this, her attention was now on the envoy of the Western Regions......
