Chapter 67: The Envoy Enters the Palace
Prime Minister Shen thought that for the sake of his colleagues' faces, how could Taishi Rong say a few words to show him the way and tell him what His Majesty's thoughts were?
Unexpectedly, Taishi Rong just patted him on the shoulder and smiled without saying a word, and left the palace.
When Prime Minister Shen Cheng brought the news back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Xiuzhi, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, gritted her teeth angrily: "This Tuoba Ye used to deal with me, but now that Tuoba Mansion is gone, she has climbed to our Shen family!" also wants to take away the name of my Shen Xiuzhi's concubine and enter the palace draft on my behalf, but I am not as good as she wants! ”
The daughter who grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion was a little scheming, and she was angry and soon set up a lotus appreciation banquet, nominally inviting the famous ladies and wealthy ladies in the imperial capital to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to enjoy the lotus and talk, but in fact, she asked people to personally send this invitation to Zhu Jiu, who was in the palace.
Caiyue handed the invitation to Zhu Jiu, and repeatedly stated that this invitation was sent by Shen Xiuzhi, the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Zhu Jiu returned the invitation to her: "Go back, I'm just a slave who is waiting in the palace for His Majesty before and after the horse, how can He De go to such a lotus banquet?" ”
She is still preparing to wait here for Xuanyuan Che to come back, and then she will have a good time to see where Zhu Mo and Zhu Qin are being held.
Caiyue didn't force her when she didn't go, and was about to retreat with an invitation card but met Leng Qingxiu head-on, so she came in and reported: "Girl, Concubine Leng is here." ”
Leng Qingxiu?
It was a coincidence that she came, presumably for the invitation to the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking of this, Zhu Jiu let her into the room to talk.
Sure enough, Leng Qingxiu took out the invitation card in her hand, saying that it was the first time to participate in the boudoir banquet of Xuanyuan Kingdom, and she was afraid that something would happen at that time, so she wanted to invite Zhu Jiu to go with her.
Leng Qingxiu is a person from Yan Country, and she is also known as the first beauty in Yan Country, her good appearance will inevitably make these famous ladies jealous, and the draft period is approaching, so it doesn't hurt to go on a trip to ensure her safety.
Of course, Zhu Jiu made this decision because Leng Qingxiu said: "At that time, Your Majesty may also go to the Minister's Mansion to enjoy the lotus banquet." ”
After all, Shen Xiuzhi is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Prime Minister Shen Cheng is an important minister in the court, Xuanyuan Che has absolutely no reason not to go.
Seeing Zhu Jiu nodding in response: "Okay, tomorrow morning I will wait for Niangniang outside the palace." ”
"I know that my sister loves me the most, thank you sister."
Leng Qingxiu fell to the ground like a stone, and left with an invitation with a smile.
It's just that Yu Guang glanced at Zhu Jiu, who was pouring tea behind him, and a sneer flashed in his eyes: It seems that Zhu Jiu didn't know that the Prime Minister's Mansion held a banquet because Prime Minister Shen Cheng recognized her as a righteous daughter.
The Prime Minister's Mansion inexplicably has an extra righteous daughter, but I am afraid that Shen Xiuzhi, who specially set up this banquet, will definitely not let her go easily!
As long as Zhu Jiu is willing to follow her to the banquet, she doesn't need to do anything, and the day of the banquet will be Zhu Jiu's death.
The banquet was held three days later, and the palace seemed to be calm but there was a turbulent undercurrent, and the envoys of Gao Xin and Xia were repeatedly dragged by the Ministry of Rites to prevent them from meeting His Majesty, and they came to the harem at noon the next day.
In Changle Palace, Zhu Jiuzheng wiped his sweat with a cloth towel after practicing in the morning, and suddenly heard a commotion outside, and immediately asked Caiyue what happened.
Caiyue was calm, and said without frowning: "It is Gao Xinguo and Xia Guo, the two princesses who sent peace, who died in Xuanyuan Palace, and now they are breaking into the harem to make trouble in front of Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to give an explanation, it is estimated that she wants to urge Your Majesty to give the two princesses a harem concubine position as soon as possible, so that it will be good for the two countries to save face and maintain the basic peace between the three kingdoms." ”
I see.
But Zhu Jiu paid more attention to the meaning of her words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Caiyue: "Since the envoys of the two countries can make trouble in the harem, is it possible that Your Majesty has stayed in the Changle Hall all night for the past two days?" ”
"Changle Hall Study."
The study is on the west side of the main hall, and the east side where Zhu Jiu lives is in two directions, no wonder he deliberately waited for Xuanyuan Che on the way from the imperial study to the harem last night but did not wait for anyone.
Feelings, this little kid has already fled back to Changle Palace!
And he hid it, I am afraid that he knew that she was going to ask Zhu Mo and Zhuqin about the whereabouts of Zhu Mo and Zhu Qin from his mouth, so he deliberately played with her, just to see her attitude.
A nameless fire surged into his heart, and Zhu Jiu had to confront Xuanyuan Che face to face.
Bypassing Caiyue, she strode out of the meteor, although Caiyue is a dark guard, but in terms of body method and speed, where can she compare to Zhu Jiu, the female god of war who returned from rebirth?
Yes, when she came back to her senses, Zhu Jiu had already taken a few steps outside, and she was taken aback and hurriedly followed: "Tuoba girl!" Wait! ”
Fortunately, before Zhu Jiu had time to step out of the fence, she grabbed him and hurriedly persuaded: "If you go out now, it's tantamount to looking for death!" ”
"How?"
Zhu Jiu was not in a hurry, turned his head to look at her, and swept over the two groups of people in exotic court clothes standing in the courtyard, and his eyes fell on Caiyue.
The court clothes of the Gao Xin Kingdom are all white, and the court clothes of the Xia Kingdom are purple, and the left and right sides stand against Xuanyuan Che.
The courtyard was some distance from here, and the movement of the two did not attract their attention.
It's just that the men's court clothes headed by Gao Xinguo are embroidered with a three-clawed dragon, which is the royal family prince An Wang Bailijin, who is twenty-seven years old this year, but his appearance is extremely outstanding, handsome and elegant, Zhu Jiufang looked at it at that time, and he actually felt that his temperament was somewhat similar to the predecessors of Gao Xinguo who was imprisoned in the cold prison!
Fortunately, his gaze retracted quickly enough not to attract Caiyue's attention, Caiyue explained: "This is a harem, if you don't have Your Majesty's permission, how can these people come in so easily?" Miss Tuoba should also understand that if His Majesty hadn't had plans for these two groups of people, how could she stand in this courtyard with them and confront them? ”
After saying it in one breath, Cai Yue took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Jiu meaningfully: "Miss Tuoba is not stupid, how can you not understand what will happen if you break in with your current identity?" ”
Xuanyuan Che is the king of the entire Xuanyuan country, he is not happy, let alone Tuoba Ye, even if Zhu Jiu stands in front of him, maybe he will directly let people pull him down and cut it.
Life and death flashed through his heart in an instant, Zhu Jiu couldn't help but feel cold in his palms, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of those two groups of people blushing, almost tearing their faces with Xuanyuan Che, if she continued to stand here and watch the play, it would only make the situation biased in favor of Xuanyuan Kingdom, which was not good for Gao Xin Kingdom and Xia Kingdom.
So he no longer took care of Caiyue, and still had to step forward to prevent the two groups of people from being beheaded by Xuanyuan Che.
But when he arrived nearby, he heard the envoys of the two countries angrily scolding Xuanyuan Che: "You are reckless of people! plotted to kill the princesses of our two countries, and did not want to give them a name, they are obviously extremely cruel, and they are not worthy of being the lord of the world! When we wait for us to return to the Ming Dynasty, we will definitely join forces to attack Xuanyuan......"
"Regulus?"
Xuanyuan Che seemed to have heard something funny, his handsome eyes were slightly raised, as if inadvertently, revealing a little contempt: "Just because you two countries also have the ability to kill me Xuanyuan?" ”
Baili Jin frowned, and his eyes fell on Xuanyuan Che from beginning to end: "At the beginning, the six countries were united and horizontal, and they were still able to fight against the King of Qin, but now my Gaoxin Kingdom and Xia Kingdom do not have this strength, but if His Majesty Xuanyuan is willing to give the two princesses of our country a title and complete the peace ceremony, our two countries will no longer pursue it." ”
Before he could finish speaking, Xuanyuan Che had already sneered, only clapped his hands, and countless guards poured in from all directions, and they were actually prepared early in the morning!
