Shen Ai asked curiously, "Where are Xiliang and Khitan?" "It can't be the Nanban and the Mongols.

The county lord of Qingxia whispered to her: "Xiliang is located in the west, there are many mountains and rocks and jungles, from the royal family of Xiliang to the common people, they are all very warlike, I heard that the border city over there often fought small battles in the past few years, and it has only been better in recent years." ”

"What about the Khitan?"

"The Khitan is to the north, they live by grazing, I heard that the place is very cold, and they are still wrapped in leather jackets in the hot summer, and I heard my father say that life there is very hard."

Listening to it, it's really close, wait to see what the envoys of the two countries are like in a while, Shen Ai turned to talk to the county lord of Qingxia about something else.

Because of her young age, the county lord of Qingxia soon talked to the county lord of the same age on the other side, and Shen Ai had to silently eat the pastries and fruits on the table, and her eyes swept at the envoys opposite.

Seeing Jiang Yu sitting upright in the seat of the minister of the Great Zhou, he couldn't help but wonder in his eyes, how could this girl sit among the ministers without an official body?

Just in doubt, Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows and looked at her, the two looked at each other, Jiang Yu's thin lips were slightly hooked, and she moved her lips slightly, Shen Ai's little face turned black in an instant, this girl was silently calling her fat danzi, she was called a fat girl before, but now there is another fat danzi, she is not fat, okay, this is at most baby fat.

Gassy!

shook a stinky face and gave him a pear, clicked and gnawed.

Suddenly, there was a commotion near the temple gate, Shen Ai chewed a pear in his mouth and stretched his neck to look out, only to see two extremely handsome men wearing foreign costumes walking slowly from the temple gate, followed by a veiled woman, looking at the clothes on the body were similar to the man on the left hand side of the head, and the three of them showed a proud look between their eyebrows.

Shen Ai tugged at the sleeve of the county lord of Qingxia next to him and asked quietly, "Sister Qingxia, which country are these three people from?" ”

The three of them walked in front of the two seats, and the county lord of Qingxia whispered to her: "On the left is the Khitan prince Shu Mulu Kuozhen, the two on the right are the people of Xiliang, the male is the eleventh son of the king of Xiliang, the prince Rongzhen, and the veiled girl is the eighteenth princess Rongyan, I heard that this Rongyan is the first beauty of Xiliang, and I don't know what the beauty is." ”

Yes! It turns out that this is Rongyan! She remembered that this Rong Yan appeared twice in the novel, once when she was in the tribute, she amazed the emperor and was accepted as a concubine, presumably this year's tribute, and the second time was that Xiliang and Khitan teamed up to annex the Great Zhou, this Rong Yan wanted to escape from the palace and was found by the queen after ordering someone to extremely cruelly peel off the beauty skin, make a human skin fan, and then let the emperor send someone to the hand of King Xiliang.

Later, Jiang Yu went to the battlefield for the five princes and Jiang Guogong and died in the border city, the novel said that in fact, the five princes were originally with Jiang Yu, and Zheng Wanyu, who had become the concubine of the five princes at that time, was pregnant, so she met with Jiang Yu in private, saying that the child in the womb could not live without a father, crying and begging him to go to the battlefield on his own, Jiang Yu naturally agreed in the face of his sweetheart's pleas, and asked the five princes to stay in Beijing and go to the border city by themselves, and finally got a tragic end of a horse leather shroud.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but look up at the jade-like person, only to see that he was holding a wine cup and lowering his eyebrows, warm as jade, and Shen Ai sighed slightly.

"The emperor has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! ”

An unusually sharp and piercing voice sounded, and everyone left the table to bow down, only to see the old emperor slowly walk up to the dragon chair that had been carved with bright yellow dragon patterns, and the queen wore a phoenix crown and was dignified and virtuous, sitting on the phoenix chair on the side.

Next is the time for the envoys of various countries to give gifts, each country brings its own country's most prominent things, and they are all small countries, all pearls, jade, jade, etc., there is nothing unusual, but the Turkic and Xiliang courtesies made the emperor laugh.

The Turkic prince sent three Tianshan snow lotus, this snow lotus is a rare good thing, and it is extremely difficult to find it on the cold snow mountain all year round, the man eats the male wind and the woman eats the beauty and beauty, this is a big deal, but listening to what Shu Mulu Kuo really said can cure all kinds of poisons, it is a bit exaggerated, looking at the old emperor's overjoyed expression, Shen Ai supported his forehead, ignorance is not a crime.

However, although the old emperor looks quite young, but in the end, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the majesty is naturally not as good as back then, a few days ago during the dinner I heard Shen Guogong and the uncle chat a few words, saying that the old emperor has a new favorite What kind of beauty, is this snow lotus sent is not right.

And Xiliang's Rongzhen prince sent a beauty, that's right, he was going to marry Da Zhou at the beginning, and he also sent such a beautiful princess, the old emperor naturally smiled happily.

However, the queen who was sitting on the side looked at Rong Yan, who had taken off her veil and was looking shy, with a smile on her lips, and a little coolness appeared between her eyebrows.

When the gifts are finished, the feast begins.

When the piano sounded, I saw a team of dancing girls who looked like hibiscus slowly appeared, and the dancing girls in the palace were naturally not bad, and the dancing danced to fascinate the envoys of those small countries.

The palace maids came in with food plates in an orderly manner, and the chatter of the old emperor and the envoys of various countries sounded above, but Shen Ai didn't listen carefully, because the palace maids served her a plate of prawns.

It's rare to see shrimp at a banquet for the first time, and Shen Ai, who likes seafood the most, naturally won't let it go, because eating shrimp is not very elegant, so whether it is a palace banquet or those Laoshzi banquets on weekdays, it is very rare, and I don't know whose blessing it is today.

The banquet ended early, and the old emperor naturally couldn't wait to enjoy it when he got a new beauty, how could everyone dare to stay longer without the emperor.

Got into the carriage and walked out of the palace, Shen Ai couldn't help but slightly lift the curtains and look back, in the past, Jiang Yu would not come over to greet her, why didn't she see her today? I didn't see it when I was at the palace gate.

The next day, I heard Shen Erye chatting with Mu in the breakfast room, only to know that Concubine De fainted in her palace just after the palace banquet last night, and the imperial doctor diagnosed the happy pulse, and the old emperor was overjoyed, and even the stunning princess of Xiliang was not pampered and rushed to Concubine De's bedroom overnight.

Shen Ai, who was eating porridge, lowered her eyebrows slightly, the child in Concubine De's belly could not be saved, not to mention that Concubine De is now in her thirties and is an advanced maternal age, just say that the queen in the harem will not let the child be born, she remembers that it was written in the book that the queen's plan made Concubine De fall into a miscarriage and almost die, as if it had quietly unfolded since this incident.

It's just that after too long, she can't remember what the queen made to assassinate Concubine De, and recently she can't remember the content of the book more and more, and many things that she remembered before have gradually blurred, and I don't know why, after eating breakfast for a while, she asked Lingcui to quietly find pen and ink to write down the things that she still remembers now, so as not to forget it all in the future, it will be too passive.

Mu Shi, who was talking to Shen Erye, turned his head sideways and saw that she was eating porridge absentmindedly, so he put a crystal bag in her bowl: "Concentrate on eating, what crooked ideas do you want to eat?" ”

Shen Ai raised his head and smiled at Mu Shi and said, "I wonder if Brother Jiang has sold me good wine." ”

Mu Shimei's eyes glared at her: "I don't know who you are with this girl, you eat and drink every day and drill into the money cracks like this, besides, it is not your own restaurant, what if you lose it." ”

Shen Ai frowned and was about to pout in protest, but her brother Shen Qingfeng kicked her lightly under the table, and smiled at Mu Shi: "Mother, I heard that many classmates say that my sister's chrysanthemum wine seems to be selling well, and many people go to Wanyun Tower to eat for a taste of this wine, and a pot seems to cost ten taels of silver." ”

Shen Ai's eyes immediately widened when she heard this, a pot of ten taels, there must be at least seven or eight pots in the wine jar in the Zhao Mansion, and she can earn at least one hundred taels when she mixes it with white open, if she sells all the wine that has been made, she can earn ten thousand taels of silver, a proper little rich woman!

Mu's eyebrows also raised slightly: "It's so easy to sell?" ”

Shen Qingfeng said with a smile: "I also heard from my classmates, and the truth has not yet been explored." ”

Mu Shi turned his head and snorted softly at Shen Ai, who was surprised: "If you make such a big profit, you will eat and drink and wear your own clothes and jewelry from now on." ”

Shen Ai's face immediately collapsed when he heard this: "Mother, you bully people." ”

The corners of Mu's lips hooked, and he looked at her puffed little face and smiled: "I'm bullying people, who told you to become the most valuable person in our family now." ”

"What's the matter, this money hasn't been seen yet, my mother is too bad." Shen Ai complained

Mu smiled and asked the maid to add half a bowl of porridge to her empty bowl, and urged: "Hurry up and finish eating, I'm afraid your brother will be late when he goes out in a while." ”

Shen Ai hurriedly drank all the porridge in three or two clicks, rinsed his mouth and sent Shen Qingfeng out, and waited for the carriage to go away before Shen Ai returned to the house.

"Mother, I'm going to find Brother Jiang." Shen Aichao, who was running back to the house, was about to go out with Shen Erye, and the Mu family shook his hands and coquettishly.

Shen Erye squatted down and picked her up, and said, "Is it okay to go out with your father?" What are you looking for, Brother Jiang, he is probably going to the academy. ”

Shen Ai glanced at Mu Shi, who was arranging his skirt, tilted his head and asked Second Master Shen, "Where are my father and mother going?" ”

"Daddy has a friend who moved his family to Kyoto, and I'm going to his relocation party today."

After Shen Erye said this, Shen Ai remembered that she still had an important thing to do, and immediately struggled to slide down Shen Erye's arms, and said to him sweetly: "Then Daddy and Mother go, Ai'er will not go if she still has something to do, I wish that uncle a happy housewarming, and the room is dyed with autumn fragrance." ”

Mu, who had tidied up his skirt and headdress, walked over and sneered: "This little mouth is sweet, a little girl who doesn't know a single big word, who taught you." ”

"Brother Jiang, he's amazing." Shen Ai pressed the matter on Jiang Yu without blinking.

Mu Shi snorted, reached out and ravaged her little chubby face fiercely: "That uncle has a beautiful little brother of the same age as you in the family, why don't you really go and see it?" ”

"Hmph, no matter how beautiful you are, can you be as beautiful as Brother Jiang?" That's the most beautiful man, I don't believe that there are people who can be more beautiful than Jiang Yu's face.

"Your brother Jiang is beautiful, but in two years, he will marry a wife, and he won't have time to play with you at that time."

Shen Ai looked up at his mother in disbelief in shock: "Bad mother, do you want to give me a doll kiss." ”
