Chapter 401:-for-tat

"No, princess!" Tengger hurriedly said, "If we make trouble and annoy the court, the court won't give us food!" ”

Luo Yunshuang patiently explained, "If we don't do anything, the imperial court won't give us food!" Rest assured, the court will never act rashly against us, and if we get tired of them, they will want us to leave quickly. And they know that this food must be given to us, so the more annoying they are, the sooner this food problem can be solved. ”

Kamulon's eyes lit up, didn't he just let them go out and make trouble? Those Central Plains people are so fragile, everyone seems to be dying at the slightest touch, as long as they act a little rudely and speak a little louder, they will definitely be able to offend a large area.

Sure enough, as Kamulon expected, in the next two days, the sons and daughters went out to wander around, they had never been to the Central Plains, let alone seen what the capital was like, so as soon as they went out, they went on a rampage, saw something delicious and fun, and they wanted to take it without saying a word, but they didn't give money, their physique was too strong, and their personalities were rough, they could almost smash people's heads flat with a single fist, as long as they stared, others were afraid.

So in just two days, the people of the capital were afraid of these people from the grassland, not so much that they were grassland men, but that they were bandits.

Since they are not directly under the jurisdiction of Qianlu, even if someone reports to the official, the government has no way to deal with them.

However, Luo Yunshuang knew that although no one was taking care of them, the people of the imperial court had been secretly observing them. Sure enough, on the third day, news came from the palace, saying that the emperor had summoned the envoys of the Qilan grassland to the palace for an audience.

Kamulon and the others were very excited to get the news, but they didn't expect Luo Yunshuang's method to really work. Tomorrow they will be able to enter the palace to see the emperor, and as long as they get the food, they will be able to go back soon.

Luo Yunshuang's mood was very heavy, this time she came to Taijing, on the one hand, to help the people on the grassland raise food for the winter, and on the other hand, to Ning Qi, but until now, she has not figured out whether she should recognize Ning Qi or not. He's about to marry someone else, and what reason does she have to recognize him! Even if they recognize each other, will she still be able to stay by his side? After preparing enough food and grass, she should send Kamulon and the others back, and if she goes back to the grassland with Kamulon, it is very likely that she will not come back, so is it really over between her and Ning Qi?

This thought made Luo Yunshuang almost breathless, even if she was resentful in her heart, she still couldn't let go, she had no way to accept that she and Ning Qi had become strangers from now on, what should she do? Do you want to leave or stay?

According to her character, since she has arrived at Ning Qi's side, since she has seen him, it is impossible to slip away again. But even if she stays, will she still be able to return to Ning Qi's side?

Luo Yunshuang was very entangled, but time would not stop because of her entanglement, and the next day, Luo Yunshuang was dressed as a grassland princess, with a golden mask on her face, and a gift for the emperor, and came to the palace gate.

There is no custom of wearing a mask on the Qilan grassland, but before leaving, Luo Yunshuang got the news that Ning Qi was going to get married, she was sad and desperate, worried that Ning Qi had any troubles, and worried that her appearance would break Ning Qi's plan, so not only she and Jiang Yushu put on masks, but even the Khan King Kamulon and the three big-headed wolves also put on masks in order to cooperate with her.

Under the guidance of the eunuchs, Luo Yunshuang and his party came to Huaqing Hall to participate in the reception banquet held by the emperor for them. At this time, it is already the beginning of the lanterns, the corridor in the palace is lit with gorgeous palace lamps, there is a faint fragrance and brightness everywhere, the whole palace is a magnificent singing and dancing, and before entering the hall, you can hear the sound of peace and joy in the conversation.

After the eunuch reported, a casual voice suddenly sounded in the hall, "Announce it." ”

Suddenly, the lively scene in the Huaqing Hall suddenly quieted down, Luo Yunshuang heard that the voice was Ning Qi, and didn't think much about it, clenched his fists, and walked into the main hall with light steps by Kamulon's side.

The wool red carpet leads from the foot to the highest place above the steps in the hall, the tables are neatly placed on both sides, and the ministers sit in turn with their respective families, and as Luo Yunshuang and his party walk in, all eyes suddenly cast on them.

Luo Yunshuang walked over in the eyes of everyone, her eyes crossed the face of Song Mingzhao on the side, and then she was suddenly stunned, Tang Yufeng? Isn't he a general of the Daning Dynasty? How did it end up here?

Seeing Tang Yufeng, Luo Yunshuang also felt a little nervous in her heart, but then she was relieved, even Ning Qi couldn't recognize her, let alone Tang Yufeng?

Sure enough, Tang Yufeng just glanced at her lightly, and there was nothing abnormal, and while Luo Yunshuang was relieved, she also had a faint disappointment. What's wrong with her? Didn't you already know that no one would recognize you? But seeing that her former friends were looking at her with such strange eyes, she couldn't help but feel lost and sad in her heart.

"Qi Lancao Kamulon has seen His Majesty the Emperor." Luo Yunshuang followed Kamulon and bowed, but as soon as he bowed, the emperor on the throne did not open his mouth for a long time, but looked at them with a scrutinizing gaze.

Just when the group was waiting a little impatiently, the emperor said lightly, "Get up!" The king of Khan came from afar as a guest and gave him a seat. ”

As soon as Kamulon and Luo Yunshuang sat down, they heard a deep voice coming, "I heard that King Khan's sister is a rare pearl on the grassland, presumably this is the Phoenix Princess, right?" ”

Luo Yunshuang looked up, the person who spoke was the first seat of the emperor's hand, wearing a dark purple python robe, his facial features were as sharp as a knife, and his eyes were deep and sharp, Luo Yunshuang knew it in his heart, looking at the position he was sitting on, this person should be the regent Dugu Yeqi who controlled the government of Qianlu with one hand!

Luo Yunshuang stood up and said lazily, "I am Princess Qi Lan, Phoenix." ”

Luo Yunshuang raised his eyes and looked at the emperor on the throne, it had been three years, and it was not until he really saw his face this time that Luo Yunshuang suddenly realized that he missed him even deeper than he thought, although there was a faint smile on his face, Luo Yunshuang found the depth under the smile. His face was unhealthily pale and haggard, and he even coughed a few lowly.

Is he sick? Luo Yunshuang was worried for a moment, but he immediately thought that for so many years, Ning Qi himself was not in Qianlu, and the emperor in the Qianlu Palace was just his shadow guard, in order not to let people find out the flaws, he created a false impression that the emperor was weak, and he didn't often appear in front of people, so he must be pretending to be now!

"Hmph. Barbarians are barbarians, what else do you say princess, she doesn't even understand a little bit of etiquette, she doesn't kneel in front of the emperor, this princess is too arrogant! ”

A sarcastic voice suddenly came out of his ears, Luo Yunshuang turned his head to look, and the person who said this was an official who was sitting under the head of the regent Dugu Ye, coincidentally, this person Luo Yunshuang happened to know, not Song Mingzhao or who?

Luo Yunshuang was furious in her heart, she was so Song Mingzhao, she couldn't recognize her and paid it back, but now she dared to come to her for trouble, very good, remember this account first, and sooner or later you have to get it back!

This is not a good man's words. The knees of the people of my grassland are not bent, and the salute I just performed is the greatest salute of my prairie. Kneeling and kowtowing is the etiquette of your Central Plains people, and in my opinion, it is just a funny and ridiculous posture, which cannot represent the respect for the emperor and the court in my heart at all, and all my sincere respect can only be expressed with the most solemn etiquette of our grassland. Does this adult want me to show my respect in a ridiculous gesture? It's like you can roll in front of the emperor to show your respect? ”

As soon as the words fell, the faces of everyone in the hall were a little abnormal, this woman was really bold, did she know who was talking to her? He is the most important young man except for His Royal Highness King Chu Dugu Haotian! She dared to offend him, presumably the next days in the capital would be uncomfortable.

Song Mingzhao was so angry that his face turned blue and purple for a while, but he couldn't say anything. This woman actually compared the kneeling ceremony to a sprinkling and rolling?

He knew that Dugu Yeqi had the intention of wooing Kamulon, so he wanted to leave a bad impression on Kamulon and the others and try to stop this as much as possible, but he didn't expect this girl to be a sharp-toothed person!

Luo Yunshuang had already lowered her head and no longer looked at the emperor on the throne, she was standing there, her posture was very casual, and she didn't even lean on Jiang Yushu next to her like a bone. is so casual and natural, such an intimate posture like no one else, although she herself is very comfortable, but in front of this civil and military official, and even in front of the emperor, it seems a little too disrespectful.

In the short period of time since she entered the palace, all the ministers of civil and military affairs have had a very bad impression of her. Even some elderly officials have begun to blow their beards and stare at them, men and women do not kiss, and in broad daylight, she is doing this and this...... What a system this is!

Kamulon also frowned in surprise, the phoenix is not a frivolous person, and even has some cleanliness habits, and is not allowed to be touched by others. But what's wrong with her tonight?

Jiang Yushu faintly understood, facing Ning Qi but unable to recognize each other, her heart must be extremely painful. She did it on purpose, deliberately showing this appearance to show Ning Qi. I hope Ning Qi can react, he will be jealous and angry!

However, Ning Qi didn't recognize her at all! For Ning Qi, the woman in front of her was the princess Phoenix of Qilan Grassland, a stranger who had only had a one-sided relationship. How is she with others, is it intimate or estranged, how can Ning Qi care?

Luo Yunshuang is so smart, it is impossible not to understand this. But she still did it, and in the end, it wasn't she who was heartbroken? Or maybe she just deliberately tortured herself and made her heart ache!

Song Mingzhao was full of anger stimulated by Luo Yunshuang's words, but when he thought that they were not from the Central Plains, they didn't understand the etiquette of the Central Plains, and this woman was just a barbarian.

Forget it, he is a measured and beautiful son, why bother with a woman, but he is not a loser, according to his and Ning Qi's previous research, the purpose of this group of grassland people to come to Taijing this time is definitely not just to participate in the emperor's wedding, the climate on the grassland is harsh and the land is barren, and there is not much grain in a year, plus the annual growth in the past two years is not good, even many areas in the Central Plains have run out of food and need relief from the imperial court, not to mention the Qilan grassland! They must have come here for food!

The steppe needs food, and the regent Dugu Yeyan fiercely commanded the Humvee, and if they were to collude with each other to get what they wanted, it would be a big trouble.

Song Mingzhao thought for a while and said, "The Qilan grassland belongs to Qianlu, in the final analysis, we are all the people of the same country, although the materials for the attack on the grassland in previous years are getting less and less year by year, but the emperor also knows that the hearts of the grassland people are very sincere, but the year is not good, and the strength is just not enough." Presumably, the Khan and the princess came in person this time to escort the tribute, right? The King Khan and the princess were so sincere, which really touched the lower officials! ”
