Chapter 286: Prince of Lei Kingdom
"Yes, let a princess marry first, that's a certainty. Otherwise, how can you reassure Lei Guo? How can you let the Fire Nation know that the Wind Nation has accepted the Thunder Country's overtures? King Chen was also very worried, "But it's hard to say which princess it is." In the end, it depends on Lei Qianliu's choice. ”
Rong Yunxi knew that King Chen was definitely unwilling to let this matter fall on Ning Er's head. Let's not talk about the pain of marrying far away, it is Lei Qianliu's bad reputation, and King Chen must have heard of it.
But in the royal family, is the princess's own happiness really so important? The lifelong happiness of a little woman is simply insignificant in the face of imperial power. If it comes to the point where he has to let Ning Er marry, the emperor will never disrupt all his plans because he feels sorry for his daughter.
But Lei Qianliu hasn't come yet, and their worries now are just worries. I only hope that this bad luck will not befall Ning'er's head.
can only take one step at a time, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, after all, no one knows what kind of woman Lei Qianliu likes.
"Father only said that we would pick him up, but didn't say that he would hold a banquet in Weiyang Palace or something?"
"My father said that we should convey it to Lei Qianliu, and said that the prince has been suffering from a cold recently, and he is unwell, so it is inconvenient to come out and walk around. Therefore, this reception of him should be postponed a little longer. It is estimated that the prince's body should be better the day after tomorrow, and a banquet will be held in Penglai Hall the day after tomorrow to catch him up. For the past two days, let him walk around the city of Kyoto at will, and don't be restrained. ”
Rong Yunxi smiled, thinking that his father could really save face. The prince of the family came all the way over, but he had to be hung out because of such a trivial matter that the prince of their wind country was infected with the wind cold. With Lei Qianliu's fiery temper, don't you just leave in anger?
The emperor specially explained that King Chen wanted to say this to Lei Qianliu, obviously to try the depth of the Lei royal family. Let's see if Lei Qianliu is really as violent as rumored by the outside world, and he is useless.
Thinking of King Chen, who has always been smiling, and meeting such a fierce and violent master, Rong Yunxi is still looking forward to the situation in the afternoon.
Just after noon, Rong Yunxi and King Chen began to prepare. Lei Guolai first reported that the Lei Guo's envoys arrived at the city gate at an early time, and Rong Yunxi naturally had to wait there first, and they couldn't let people stand at the city gate and wait for them.
Because he said that he was greeted with a family gift, Rong Yunxi just changed into a slightly more gorgeous light blue gold silk embroidered palace dress, and put on a virtual bun from early summer, and did not dress up too grandly. King Chen is even more casual, just wearing this homely cyan casual robe, with Erlang's legs crossed, which makes him even more hanging.
When the hour came, King Chen called Zhuo Jiu and Yunsheng, and together with several other maids in the palace, he took some cakes and snacks from the palace and went out to pick up the envoys.
Rong Yunxi felt that people came in a big way, but they just brought these people in the palace to greet them, and the emperor didn't even show a little caring gift, which was a bit of hospitality. But if it weren't for that, it would indeed be impossible to test the extent of the Thunder Country's need to form an alliance with the Wind Country, let alone the true city of Lei Qianliu.
Feng Si and Zhuo Jiu drove the carriage and took these people to the gate of the city. King Chen and Rong Yunxi sat in the carriage and waited for the envoys of the Lei Kingdom, while the maids and the family members got off the carriage with food boxes and waited outside the carriage.
In a short time, the envoys of the Thunder Kingdom came from the banks of the moat. Looking at the team, there were about two or three hundred people.
Naturally, the two or three hundred people were not all envoys, but elite soldiers who escorted the prince of Lei Kingdom to ensure his integrity. Although the number of these people is not large, if they are stationed outside the castle of Kyoto in the country of wind, it is not a hidden worry. Who knows if these people have received any orders to "walk at night" to spy on the situation in the city of Kyoto in the country of wind, or even in the Weiyang Palace.
"It seems that we are going to send someone to keep an eye on them, and if anyone has any wrong behavior, report it to my father immediately."
"I have stopped them by flying pigeons, and have them lie in ambush around the city, watching what these men are doing. After a while, when he enters the palace and returns to his father, his father will also send someone to take good care of these elite soldiers, and he will definitely not let them scatter here. King Chen said.
lifted the curtain and looked at it carefully, then turned around and whispered: "Don't you see, the military discipline of the Lei Country cavalry is very strict." You see, even though they were on a long-distance mission, their formation was not chaotic at all. On such a long journey, and just crossed the river, how could Lei Qianliu have the heart to care about their formation? So it's all out of habit. The soldiers are well-trained, and the rules are not bad in everyone's hearts. ”
Rong Yunxi also found that the rules of the Lei Country cavalry were strict, and he was a little worried: "It seems that in the past few years, the Lei Country has indeed managed the army well, and its combat power has changed from what it used to be. In the past, when I was in the frontier, I also saw some soldiers of the Thunder Country, who were far from being so energetic. ”
Today's soldiers of the Thunder Country, even if they are just ordinary roads, are also majestic and high-spirited. Far from those of earlier years, just a strong, loose rabble.
Seeing that the envoy of the Lei Kingdom was about to arrive at the gate of the city, King Chen took Rong Yunxi to get off the carriage and went to the middle of the city gate to greet him.
Led by a young man wearing a brown-red brocade robe, wheat-colored skin, a sturdy body, and thick eyebrows, he didn't expect this Lei Qianliu to be born with a good skin. may be so bad that in all the legends about Lei Qianliu, his appearance has been deliberately concealed.
"Haha...... Prince, I'm looking forward to you! Before Lei Qianliu stood still, King Chen greeted him with a smile.
It is not the words of the officialdom to receive the envoys, but the homely words that are very affectionate. In this way, if it is a person with a relatively normal temperament, even if he is quite dissatisfied with their hasty welcome to the Wind Country, it is not easy to show anything.
It depends on what Lei Qianliu's temperament is.
"Haha...... Prince Chen? I have admired the name for a long time, I have admired the name for a long time......" Lei Qianliu stopped his horse, turned over and dismounted. Like a brother, he hugged King Chen very affectionately.
Rong Yunxi smiled at the corner of his mouth, it seems that although Lei Qianliu has a hot temper, he is not a violent fool.
King Chen did not report his identity, nor did he explain anything, and there was nothing on his body that could prove the identity of the prince, and Lei Qianliu had not seen King Chen before, but he could recognize the person at a glance as King Chen, not King Jing or the crown prince, which also showed the depth of his city. Just from King Chen's speech and demeanor, his identity can be determined.
Rong Yunxi looked at Lei Qianliu's healthy and handsome face at this time, with a very pleasant and pleasant expression, but she was a little worried in her heart.
Such a person is much more difficult to deal with than the legendary tyrannical person. is ruthless in his heart, smiling on his face, and he is a smiling tiger.
The situation that I thought was that the smiling tiger and the roaring lion were facing each other did not appear, but I saw two smiling tigers playing and playing.
But he didn't necessarily know that he must be King Chen's opponent. Rong Yunxi found that his admiration and trust for King Chen had really reached an outrageous level.
King Chen and Lei Qianliu exchanged a few words, and Rong Yunxi stepped forward with a smile and saluted Lei Qianliu. With King Chen, he didn't say anything about officialdom, but said with concern: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been going well on this journey?" ”
"I'm tired of the princess, everything is going well in this palace. The great rivers and mountains of this windy country are really beautiful. Along the way, this palace is a feast for the eyes! ”
King Chen exchanged a few more words with him, then got back into the carriage, sat in the carriage, and led Lei Qianliu into the city.
King Chen and Rong Yunxi sat in the carriage and walked in front, Lei Qianliu rode on a horse, with three entourage ministers and five retinues followed behind King Chen's carriage. It made him look like an attendant guarding King Chen's carriage. In this case, he can be picky or not.
If he was provocative because of this, saying that Feng Guo was negligent and humiliated him, Feng Guo would have no room for quibbling, so he could only apologize. If you don't pick a child, you want to drive some yourself, people come by carriage, and when you go back to the city, you naturally have to take a carriage, and you can't walk in front of him to guide him, otherwise won't you become a horse-leading?
Whether or not to make a fuss about this matter is a matter of one of his thoughts. It depends on what kind of attitude he wants to deal with the Wind Country.
Lei Qianliu followed King Chen's carriage, thought about it carefully, and finally decided - generosity. It is said that Prince Chen of the Wind Country is a drunkard, but in the past two years, he has made a lot of achievements. When I saw it today, this was clearly a smiling tiger with a deep sense of the city. How could he not know the stakes involved in this move?
The reason why he did this must have been instructed by the Emperor of the Wind Country to deliberately give him a try.
This time I came to the Windy Country, in order to marry a princess of the Windy Country, and let this future old man think that he is a straw bag with no heart and no tolerance, which is not a good thing.
Outside the post house, King Chen and Rong Yunxi got out of the carriage, and the maids and maids who followed behind them with food boxes stood respectfully behind the two, waiting for Lei Qianliu, who was not far away and was slowly approaching.
Lei Qianliu approached, and instead of being dissatisfied with King Chen and Rong Yunxi's actions in the carriage, he smiled apologetically: "Prince Chen and the princess have been waiting for a long time." There are too many people on the street, and the palace is afraid of hurting them, so I don't dare to leave quickly. ”
"The prince is kind-hearted, and he must be praised by everyone in my country for today's trip...... Prince please. King Chen made a "please" gesture to Lei Qianliu and let Lei Qianliu into the post house.
understated what the emperor explained to him. King Chen said lightly, and Lei Qianliu responded lightly: "It's easy to say, this palace has been staying in the Wind Country for a long time, regardless of these days or two." ”
arranged a place for Lei Qianliu and his entourage, left the dim sum of King Chen's mansion, and greeted him for a long time before leaving. The whole process of the meeting seemed to be extremely pleasant. Lei Qianliu is like a soft persimmon with no temper, always smiling.
"What does Concubine Ai think of Lei Qianliu City Mansion?" On the carriage, King Chen asked.
