When he arrived at the palace, Du Jinning said to himself: "Brother Qi, you go to the Imperial Doctor's Office with your father first, I remember that Grandpa Sun has a picture of the human body, on which the location of the heart is drawn, you go and see where the heart grows." ”

After all, it was she who wrote "the heart is in the stomach", even if she told Qi Ziqi where her heart was, Qi Ziqi would doubt it. It is better to leave this matter to a professional to explain.

Qi Ziqi is extremely smart, and when he heard his mother say this, he knew that his heart might not be in his stomach. He was also curious about where it was.

He often followed his mother into the palace, knowing that his mother was going to talk to the emperor's uncle about business, and he was not clingy, so he nodded obediently: "Okay, mother." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Qi Muyuan.

Qi Muyuan bowed slightly towards Du Jinning: "Then let's go first." ”

"Goodbye, mother." Qi Ziqi waved his hand to Du Jinning and followed his father in a hurry.

Only then did Du Jinning turn his head and say to the little eunuch: "Inform me." ”

Du Jinning's status in the Great Song Dynasty is special, she is not an ordinary eldest princess, she is more favored by the emperor than the serious eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace never dare to treat her slowly. And as long as she enters the palace, Zhao Yu will always receive her as soon as possible.

But at this moment, the little eunuch said: "The envoys of the Western Xia and Jin Dynasty are here, and the emperor and the officials of the Honglu Temple and the household department are receiving them. Princess, do you think you should go to the other palaces first, or wait in the side hall? ”

"Western Xia and the Jin Dynasty?" Du Jinning raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, turned his head and instructed Xia He: "You go to the Ministry of Industry, tell Master Xu, and let them send the bicycle just now." In addition to that one, there are also debugged ones, and they are sent together. A total of two cars will be delivered. ”

"Yes, Princess." Xia He bowed and walked out of the palace.

Du Jinning said to the little eunuch: "I'll wait here." ”

"Princess, please sit in the foyer." The little eunuch led Du Jinning into the foyer, served tea and snacks, and then withdrew.

After a while, the Ministry of Industry sent a bicycle over, followed by Lord Xu and the young official named Ma Jun who had just ridden the bicycle.

"If you go to Tongyu, you will say that I have come to present a bicycle to the emperor." Du Jinning instructed the little eunuch.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty is thriving and prosperous, who among the officials in Beijing and the people in the palace don't know that a large part of it is due to Du Jinning? Now that she knew that the envoys of the Western Xia and Jin Dynasty were here, she insisted on asking to see her, and she also carried this strange vehicle, and the little eunuch knew that she had a deep meaning. Don't dare to stop it at the moment, hurry up and go to Tongyu.

It was just a spin, and he came back breathlessly and said, "The emperor is invited." ”

Du Jinning led the group to the main hall.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Zhao Yu standing on the steps in front of the main hall, and behind her, in addition to Gonggong Wu and a few officials, there were also several people in exotic costumes.

Guan Jiaze, as an official of Honglu Temple who understands the Western Xia language, is also among them. He has the talent to learn foreign languages, is proficient in several foreign languages, and is now in a very important position in Honglu Temple, and he is not slow to be promoted. For this reason, Guan Jiaze is very grateful to Du Jinning, who guided him in the maze.

Lord Xu and Ma Jun were a little stunned when they saw the group of people on the steps.

Did the emperor come out of the palace to greet the eldest princess?

What did the eldest princess do to make the emperor treat her with such a heavy courtesy?

The envoys of the Western Xia and Jin dynasties also thought so, so they were very unhappy.

They had come to negotiate trade with the Great Song Dynasty. But halfway through the conversation, when they heard that the eldest princess was coming, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty asked them to wait for a while, and ran out of the hall by himself to wait.

The Great Song Emperor came out, and the officials of Honglu Temple and the household department naturally followed, they didn't know what kind of eldest princess would let the Great Song Emperor come out to greet them, so it was not good to continue to stay inside, so they had to run out and wait.

It's just that Da Song is too sloppy with them? When they came, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty not only did not come out to greet them, but sat there without even lifting his buttocks. Now they are hanging them out, and the eldest princess of this dynasty is simply not taking the two of them into account at all.

Unhappy in his heart, the envoys of the two countries looked at Du Jinning very unkindly.

Du Jinning looked calm about Zhao Yu's actions. She knew that Zhao Yu did not come out to greet her, but wanted to take the opportunity to let the envoys of the two countries see the first bicycle of the Great Song Dynasty.

Her intention of letting the little eunuch report was that the little eunuch guessed two points, and Zhao Yu had a very tacit understanding with her, and she would not understand the reason why she knew that the foreign envoys were here, but still made people understand.

"Brother Huang." She stopped at the foot of the steps and saluted Zhao.

Zhao Yu raised his hand and said with a smile: "The imperial sister has worked hard. Looking at the bicycle behind her, "Is this the bicycle?" ”

"Yes." Du Jinning showed an excited expression, looking like he couldn't wait to show off his new toy, "Brother Huang, do you want to see it?" ”

"Okay, let's see." Zhao Yu showed a doting expression very cooperatively.

"There is Lord Raoma, ride two laps to show the emperor." Du Jinning said to Ma Jun.

Ma Jun swallowed.

He was the lowest level of the Ministry of Industry, and he usually didn't have the opportunity to see Zhao Yu at all, let alone ride a bicycle in front of the main hall to show the emperor.

"Push the bike there and ride, it's spacious."

Du Jinning saw that he was nervous, instructed him to push the car to the side of the courtyard, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is buying a horse from Xia Jin, you ride a little more steadily, let Xia Jin know that we don't need their horses." If you are nervous, think about the suffering people in the Great Song Frontier, and think about Xia Jin's aggression against us over the years. ”

Ma Jun nodded, thinking about Xia Jin's harassment and looting on the one hand, and trading with the Great Song Dynasty on the other hand, the hatred came up.

With hatred, he was not nervous, got on the bike, started slowly, and rode in the open space in front of the hall.

The main hall is built magnificently, and the place in front of the main hall is paved with blue bricks like a small square, which is very open.

After Ma Jun understood Du Jinning's meaning, he knew what to do. He rode for a while, riding faster and faster, pedaling the three-wheeled bike into the air, showing off the bike's various capabilities.

Du Jinning turned his head to look at the top of the steps and said with a smile: "Gonggong Wu, do you want to go up for a ride?" ”

At this time, the most qualified to sit in the back of the car and the best to evaluate the performance of the bicycle is naturally Zhao Xi. However, Zhao Yu had to maintain his majesty in front of foreign envoys, and considering safety issues, he was not a good candidate for a test drive, so Gonggong Wu, who could represent the emperor, was the best candidate.

Gonggong Wu looked at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu smiled: "Okay, you can feel it on my behalf." ”

Gonggong Wu bowed, went down the steps, and sat in the back seat of the car.

Ma Jun took him around in a circle.

After getting out of the car, Gonggong Wu said to Zhao Yu: "Your Majesty, this car is really comfortable, more stable than a carriage, without the slightest bump." And according to the slaves, it is safer, and there will be no worries at all. ”
