Without waiting for the envoys to answer, Emperor Jianyuan said, "The prince has a good idea. ”

Compared with the last time the envoys of southern Xinjiang paid tribute, many pavilions and pavilions were newly built in the capital, and the streets and alleys were also a lot more prosperous.

He also wanted the envoys to see the changes in Dongliang and be able to settle down when they returned.

"That's very good, then thank you Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The envoy from southern Xinjiang bowed.

After saying that, Pei Xuanling first asked the Ministry of Rites to hurry up and prepare Dongliang specialties as a return gift to the envoys of Southern Xinjiang to bring back.

Then he instructed the Ministry of Rites to begin a banquet to entertain the messengers.

Soon, the royal dining room was served with food and wine to entertain the envoys.

While drinking alcohol, the ministers of the two countries chatted freely about the upcoming plans for friendship and cooperation.

Due to the small number of ministers who can speak southern Xinjiang, they only talked a few words, and a minister of the Ministry of Rites talked about the six princes.

"Speaking of which, my Chao Sixth Wang Ye is talented, extremely intelligent, and knows many Chinese, and Nanjiang is exactly the type he is good at."

The person who said this was Liang Chunrong, the "host and guest outsider" of the Ministry of Rites, who was in charge of the tributes and receptions of the vassals.

This person is well versed in the way of officialdom, and is good at figuring out the meaning of the superiors and acting according to the thoughts of the superiors.

He knew that the Ministry of Rites admired the six princes, so he also praised the six princes.

The sixth prince and the prince played brother and brother when they were young.

Because the concubine Shun, the mother of the sixth prince, was originally the palace maid of the prince's biological mother "Queen Xiaohui".

"Empress Xiaohui" couldn't serve the emperor when she was seriously ill, so she gave her concubine to the emperor.

Even if Concubine Shun is a concubine, she is still loyal to the "Queen of Filial Piety".

Before the death of the "Empress Xiaohui", Concubine Shun had been serving carefully left and right.

Concubine Shun has also been teaching the six princes and asked him to assist the prince.

In addition to this relationship with the crown prince, the sixth prince was also the youngest calligrapher in the dynasty and a connoisseur of calligraphy and painting.

The emperor cherished his talent and allowed him to set up a literature museum in his mansion and recruit bachelors on his own, so there were many talented people in his mansion.

Therefore, not only the Ministry of Rites, but also other forces have been trying to win him over or provoke the relationship between him and the crown prince.

If this is not strong-willed, or ambitious, this brotherhood may have been destroyed by external forces long ago.

However, the sixth prince was determined, even if he was named and praised at the moment, he just pretended to be hoarse and said: "This king has been a little angry recently, and his throat is uncomfortable, so he won't be ugly." ”

Liang Chunrong: "It's okay, it's rare for the envoys from southern Xinjiang to come here, you can just chat with the envoys at will." ”

Liang Chunrong has said this part, and the six princes should have chatted with the envoys in southern Xinjiang dialect.

He didn't, though.

"You don't know, this king's southern Xinjiang dialect is still taught by the emperor's brother." The sixth prince gave up the opportunity to show his talents in public.

Turning to look at the crown prince, "Brother Huang, why don't you accompany the envoys to have a good chat." ”

Pei Xuanling does know the southern Xinjiang language, but he is low-key and rarely speaks the southern Xinjiang language on such an important occasion.

Therefore, the civil and military officials did not know that he had this talent.

At this time, Emperor Jianyuan, who was at the top, also spoke, "Prince, I remember that you have learned the southern Xinjiang language, but I have never heard you say it. ”

The emperor had spoken, and after Pei Xuanling responded, he tried to speak to the envoys in southern Xinjiang.

The conversation is nothing more than welcoming the envoys to Dongliang as guests, as well as introducing the customs and customs of Dongliang country.

A few simple words, I heard the envoys from southern Xinjiang present praising again and again.

At this moment, the officials present were shocked!

It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only knows how to fight, but also speaks southern Xinjiang!

"......" Liang Chunrong originally wanted the sixth prince to show it, but he didn't expect the sixth prince to transfer this opportunity to the prince, so that the prince was in the limelight.

Song Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also saw this scene in his eyes, and looked at the prince with some surprise.

I have to say that the prince's southern Xinjiang dialect is fluent and standard.

It's not like those envoys from southern Xinjiang, who speak a lame Central Plains dialect.

But even so, the sixth prince is still the prince he admires the most, and there is no one.

Next, the prince joined in the chat with the envoys.

Half an hour later, the banquet came to an end.

When the Ministry of Rites prepared the return gift from Southern Xinjiang, Emperor Jianyuan said to the prince: "Prince, you and the ministers of the Ministry of Rites will send the envoy of Southern Xinjiang, and I will not go." ”

Emperor Jianyuan had the problem of seasickness, and he was not lightly dizzy, and he generally did not take a boat unless necessary.

Moreover, he also hand-picked a few adult princes to accompany him, saying that he would let them follow him to increase his knowledge.

In this regard, the prince, the minister of etiquette, and the princes responded one after another.

After the banquet was dispersed, Pei Xuanling went to the palace gate and asked casually, "Is the carriage out of the palace ready?" ”

Huang Dechang led the way, "If you go back to Your Highness, you will be ready, and you will stop in front of the palace gate, and Jiang Meiren will already be waiting for you in the carriage." ”

Speaking of which, Jiang Meiren is a little different from the past today.

He can't say what is different, anyway, it's good-looking.

A moment later, everyone arrived at the palace gate to assemble.

Under the arrangement of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, some of the princes, ministers and envoys rode horses, some in carriages.

Everything was arranged, and Pei Xuanling walked to his own carriage.

When he walked to the carriage, Huang Dechang lifted the curtain with Buddha dust.

Pei Xuanling stepped on the back of the little eunuch and got into the carriage, and when he looked up and saw the woman in the carriage, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
