Chapter 209: The Envoy of Mozambique
Chapter 209: The Envoy of Mozambique
Although I was anxious to see the difference, I didn't want to wait for a while. But the priorities of things, Xue Lengyu can naturally still distinguish them.
After turning the corner, I could see a small two-story building with luxurious decoration, and the carriage slowly stopped at the door, and immediately an attendant stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Ning Qing got out of the car and said, "Has the envoy of Mozambique arrived?" ”
The attendant replied, "We have entered the city, and it should not take a moment to arrive." ”
Ning Qing nodded: "This Shuli Lord is ordered by the empress to be entertained, so don't slack off." ”
"Yes." The attendant replied, "Everything is ready. ”
"Yes." Ning Qing looked around and said, "Send some more people to patrol, don't be negligent." ”
"Yes." The entourage responded, and said, "Young Master Ning, do you want to go in first and rest for a while." ”
Because Ning Qing has not had an official position over the years, except for the identity of the eldest princess's husband, although the people who come and go dare not take him in their eyes, they can only call Ning Gongzi a word.
Ning Qing thought for a while and said, "No need, since it won't be there in a moment." I'll just wait outside, so that we can show that we attach importance to the envoys of Mozambique. ”
"Yes." The entourage didn't dare to have any objections to Ning Qing's words, he wanted to stand and wait, so he had to stand at the door and follow him.
It really didn't take a moment, and after waiting for only a short time, I could only hear the sound of horses' hooves trampling. A fast horse galloped in from the direction of the city.
This is Ning Qing's entourage, and when he was about to arrive at the door of the embassy, he rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said: "Son, the envoy of Mozambique has arrived, and his subordinates will take a step forward to tell him." ”
"Got it." Ning Qing said lightly, her gaze drifted over Xue Lengyu's face, but she saw that she was already wide-eyed. I was helpless, so I looked at it.
This time it was faster, Shu Li took the four attendants out of the Mo country and galloped all the way, until he changed a few fast horses, and only then did he arrive at the curtain abyss only one day slower than Xue Lengyu. Li Mu's letter had already been in contact with Empress Muyuan, and someone was sent to receive her at the city gate. When he entered the city, it was inconvenient for him to gallop his horse any longer, so he had to slow down. Led by an official of the Makubuchi Dynasty, he walked towards the embassy.
In the information he learned, Xue Lengyu's biggest possibility was that he came to Muyuan with Ning Qing. He was anxious to find out Ning Qing and ask about Xue Lengyu's whereabouts, but when he came to Muyuan as an envoy of Mozambique, he still had to go to the embassy first to contact the reception officials, but he was afraid that he would have to see the empress before looking for someone.
When he turned around, the small building with the word embassy written on it stood in front of him, and it suddenly lit up in front of him.
Ning Qing knew that the envoy who came was Shuli, but Shuli didn't know that the person who received him would be Ning Qing.
Ning Qing's identity, Shu Li, these days, naturally there is also inquiry. But he learned that apart from the title of the eldest princess's husband, he had no other official position. I still don't know if this identity is convenient for me to see, but I don't want to stand in front of the embassy in a fancy costume and know that the man who is waiting at a glance is the same Ning Qing who got along a lot in the country and the city in those days.
When he got off the horse, someone came and led the horse.
Ning Qing had already greeted him with a smile: "Lord Shu has worked hard all the way. ”
That smile. That face has not changed in the slightest.
Xue Lengyu stood behind Ning Qing, when Shu Li had not arrived, she could still let herself wait and hope without concealment, but now that Shu Li was standing in front of her, she didn't dare to look at it more. I'm afraid that if I take a second look, I can't help but go up and hug the figure that I think about day and night.
It's just a faint glance at the beginning, and I feel that I am very thin and thin. If he had set out three days later than himself, he would have arrived only one day later than himself. This road, you can imagine what kind of day and night it is.
Ning Qing said that he had other intentions behind him, but Xue Lengyu would rather believe that Shuli was for himself. Their relationship has already experienced many twists and turns and separation, if they don't have such a persistent heart, how to stick to it.
Shu Li wanted to find out Xue Lengyu immediately by grabbing Ning Qing, but at this time, he had to refrain from it. After a few words of greeting, Ning Qing led him into the embassy.
Ning Qing's gaze fell on Xue Lengyu without a trace, seeing that she lowered her head slightly, knowing how entangled and sad she was at this time, but she couldn't comfort half a sentence, so she had to turn her gaze strongly.
sat down, ordered someone to serve tea, and said with a smile: "Shuli is clumsy." I have known Lord Ning for so long, but I didn't know that Lord Ning had such an identity. Where I was disrespectful in the past, please also invite Lord Ning Haihan. ”
Ning Qing also smiled and said: "I don't have an official position in Muyuan, Lord Ning is ashamed of this, and Lord Shu can still be called like before." Because the Empress knew that I had lived in Makubuchi for a while, and that I had also known Shu-sama, she ordered me to receive Shu-sama, hoping that Shu-sama would be satisfied. ”
From the moment he entered the door, he did hear that the subordinates only called Ning Qing as a son, and did not call out an adult. Thinking that Ning Qing's words were not polite but facts, he said: "Since this is the case, I will trouble Ning Gongzi these days." ”
Ning Qing said with a smile: "Ning is so honored, why bother." ”
Xue Lengyu stood beside Ning Qing, seeing that the two of them were not talking about business, but just politely coming and going to each other, saying this without pain, his heart was depressed, but there was no way to be bitter.
Ning Qing said: "Lord Shu has come from afar, and the empress has ordered someone to hold a banquet in the palace to wash the dust for Lord Shu. The embassy has also prepared a room for adults, please take a bath and change clothes, take a break, and follow me into the palace to meet the empress. ”
Shu Li said: "In this way, there will be a son of Lao Ning." ”
In the past few days, I have been on the road day and night, and I don't need to look, Shuli also knows that I must be dusty and haggard at this time. Although finding Xue Lengyu is the top priority in his heart, Li Mu's explanation cannot be delayed, and now he has met Ning Qing. I was not in a hurry at this moment, and it was good to go to the palace to convey Li Mu's meaning.
In these days in King Mu's mansion, although he has done a lot of things for Li Mu in life and death. But after all, Li Mu treats himself well, and no matter what the result of this trip to the curtain is. That Mu Wangfu, I'm afraid I won't go back.
At that moment, Ning Qing led Shuli into the backyard of the embassy, and ordered someone to wait for the bath and change clothes, and it was almost noon after this toss.
Shuli washed the dust all the way, changed into clean clothes, cleaned up, and really looked new, and he didn't see the slight tiredness in the morning, and he was radiant again.
Shu Li went downstairs and saw that Ning Qing was waiting for him, so he said, "Ning Gongzi has been waiting for a long time." ”
Ning Qing looked up and saw Shuli, and sure enough, he was as radiant as when he first saw him, maybe he was not as handsome as himself, but the kind of cold and cold air in his expression was also fascinating.
Xue Lengyu had already eased her mood, and she couldn't hide her happiness when she looked at the familiar appearance that she hadn't seen for a long time. Although he couldn't say it explicitly, those big eyes turned on his face from time to time.
Others would not notice the little girl beside Ning Qing, but because of her identity, she was highly alert. After feeling this, a gaze stopped on his face from time to time.
With that gaze, it was the maid behind Ning Qing, who had no appearance and temperament, just an ordinary little palace maid.
Seeing that Shu Li frowned slightly, Ning Qing knew in his heart and said, "Is Lord Shu dissatisfied?" ”
"Oh, no." Shu Li said: "Shu Li brought the order of Prince Mu with him, and he was also anxious to see the empress. Ning Gongzi, why don't you lead me into the palace like that. ”
Ning Qing said: "Exactly." It's not too early now, and I'm about to ask Lord Shu to enter the palace with me. The Empress should have prepared a banquet for the adults. ”
After another greeting, Shu Li instructed his entourage to leave three in the embassy, and only one followed him and entered the palace with Ning Qing.
It's just that she took pity on Xue Lengyu, the two men each took the carriage, but she could only walk on the side. There is some imbalance in my heart, and I think about it hatefully, and when this thing passes one day, I will definitely torture it to relieve this hatred in my heart.
After entering the palace, Ning Qing introduced Empress Muyuan, which was naturally polite. Xue Lengyu experienced it again, asking others to eat and she watched, and others sat and she stood.
The banquet was not new, it was nothing more than a greeting and politeness, and Empress Makubuchi also ordered several courtiers to come to accompany the guests, because at this time it was urgent to use external forces, so she attached great importance to the arrival of Shuli.
This meal lasted from noon to afternoon, the banquet was withdrawn, and the empress left Shu Shu to discuss her own affairs, and Ning Qing returned to her residence first.
Xue Lengyu never knew that he was such a patient person, and he was silent until he entered Ning Qing's courtyard, then entered the room and closed the door, and stood for a moment to make sure that there was no one else, and then he grabbed Ning Qing's sleeve.
Ning Qing had long expected Xue Lengyu to react, smiled and pulled out his sleeve, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Come, let's have lunch first. ”
"I'm still eating lunch." Xue Lengyu pouted and said, "I've been hungry for a long time." ”
It's all an hour, but I'm afraid it's three or four o'clock in the afternoon. It's really a feudal society that has no human rights, and Ning Qing himself is happy to eat big fish, meat, wine, and water, completely ignoring them who are standing aside and serving.
"Do you know that it's hard to be a subordinate in the palace?" Ning Qing didn't feel heartache, handed over the snacks on the table, poured a glass of water and waited on the side: "First cushion, I have ordered someone to bring the food over, and I will be there soon." ”
Xue Lengyu took it, but he didn't have the heart to eat, and asked hurriedly, "When are you going to find Shuli?" ”
Isn't it more torturous to be able to see but not touch like this.
"I don't have to look for it." Ning Qing said: "He came this time." Li Mu should have something to explain. When the matter is settled, the empress will let her go, and he will come looking for me. ”
Xue Lengyu said: "But you are in this princess palace, can he find it?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.
Outside the door, the palace maid knocked on the door in a low voice and said, "Son, the food has been delivered." ”
