CHAPTER XX
Su Jinxiu handed Li Xinghe a piece of green plum and praised it sincerely,
"It seems that Mulan's trip has made His Highness's mind grow a lot, so how does Xinghe plan to break the queen's mind before the banquet?"
Li Xinghe lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then replied,
"Fighting a snake and hitting seven inches, the queen's weakness is naturally Li Chengren, so it's better to try the water with him first."
Su Jinxiu disagreed, "The dragon has reverse scales, if we move Li Chengren, we can withstand the anger of the queen's counterattack." At the moment, we are not yet full-fledged, so we should find a more secure way. This matter must also be acted on at the right time, in the right place, and in the right people, all of which are indispensable. ”
Li Xinghe nodded teachablely, used a few pieces of pastry and preserves, and took Shi Ying back.
In the Taiji Palace, the incense burner quietly burns the black dust incense, although it has entered the spring, but the cold wind is cold, the hall is still burning charcoal fire, crackling.
"Your Majesty, the Jiuli envoy has arrived."
Li Jun continued to wave the pen and ink in his hand, and finished depicting the beauty on the desk with the last stroke, and took a closer look at the beauty in the painting was actually Su Guifei, with a smile and a smile, after putting the painting away, Li Jun said in a deep voice,
"Xuan."
The Jiuli envoy Sanar was dressed in a narrow-sleeved bearded robe, a dark loose robe tied with a scarlet belt, the sleeves were tightened at the wrists, and the long earlobes were pierced, and he wore a blue glazed earring.
Sanar placed his right hand on his left chest, nodded, bowed, and said,
"Amor Baita, I wish Emperor Tianlan good health and peace."
After speaking, Sanar called for someone to carry out the treasure chest containing birthday gifts, and the moment the box was opened, the hall was full of dazzling, mutton fat and jade, agate pearls, and coral amber, all piled up in the treasure chest.
Li Jun remained silent, his tone was calm, but there was a treacherous cloud in his eyes, and he asked lightly,
"The envoy has presented the congratulatory gift in advance this time, but there is something important and he does not plan to attend the birthday banquet?"
"King Jiuli sent Sanar to envoy Tianlan, firstly to offer treasures to celebrate His Majesty's Christmas, and secondly, to receive His Royal Highness Xianrong back to Jiuli."
"Oh," Li Jun was a little surprised, and continued, "Now that Wei Xianrong has not yet passed the year of establishment, it is not in line with the treaty I signed with the King of Jiuli at the beginning. ”
"At this time, the capital of Jiuli is chaotic, and the tribes are invading each other, if there is no Yanzhou Iron Cavalry in the hands of His Royal Highness Xianrong, I am afraid that the royal capital is in danger. I hope that His Majesty Tianlan will forgive me, and I Jiuli should offer a rare treasure to compensate for breach of contract. ”
Sanar put his hands on his chest, his posture was lowered, tears seemed to flicker in his green eyes, and his voice was a little choked.
Seeing this, Li Jun didn't want to be embarrassed, so it seemed that he had a heart, and some things didn't need to be put on the surface, so he said,
"Since there is a reason for the incident, the envoy has such a sincere attitude, and I admire it very much for the heart of the country. Even so, I Tianlan has no reason not to let people go, and I immediately issued the customs clearance documents to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty Tianlan, may the friendship between Jiuli and Tianlan last forever." Sanar immediately held back his tears, said gratefully, and withdrew from the Taiji Hall after speaking.
After the envoy of Jiuli came out of the Taiji Palace, Li Jun summoned the secret guard who had been guarding him in the dark, Li Jun touched the dragon head on the dragon chair, and commanded in a cold voice,
"Select a dozen excellent dead soldiers, secretly follow them to see what their purpose is, and by the way, contact our Tianlan lurking in Jiuli's fine work, inside and outside, I want to see Wei Xianrong's head."
"Your Majesty, if you do it in Jiuli Capital City, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of waves." The Dark Guard worried.
"I just want to make the water of Jiuli more and more muddy, Yanzhou Tieqi is a piece of fat, and the eldest son of King Jiuli will not easily let go of the fat in his mouth."
Li Jun stared at the charcoal fire burning in the copper furnace, his eyes were gloomy, and he said in a cruel voice.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here."
Wang Xi's voice came from outside the hall, Li Jun waved his hand to let the dark guard retreat, closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he was the king of Tianlan, and said coldly,
"Pass her in."
At the gate of the capital, Wei Xianrong rode a red-maned horse, looking back at the Tianlan Palace by the moonlight, and on his chest was a red and blonde hairpin with nine phoenixes wrapped around beads.
"Your Highness, time is running out, it's time for us to go." Sanar bowed his head.
Wei Xianrong didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and drove the horse, walked away, and replied lightly,
"Fang Cai's acting skills in the main hall are good, continue to maintain it, and meet by the river outside the city in a while."
The corners of Sanar's mouth twitched slightly, in order to make it easy for you to return to Jiuli, he had to put down his face when he was old, but according to this, His Highness still had a knot in Tianlan that he couldn't let go. It's rare, but I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for him.
The night of Chongming Hall is deep, and the moon hooks like strings, but for some reason Li Xinghe is a little insomnia tonight.
Li Xinghe was dressed in plain clothes, his black hair was untied, he got up and walked barefoot to the window, he originally wanted to open the window to enjoy Qingyue, but he didn't expect that it was Wei Xianrong, who was a little out of breath, who came into view.
Looking at each other, Wei Xianrong neatly turned over the window, and took the person into his arms with satisfaction, his heart was instantly wrapped in warmth, even when he was in charge of the Yanzhou Iron Cavalry, he had never felt such satisfaction.
Wei Xianrong lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and saw that the green silk was spread out like silk, the texture was like snow, the nose was powdery, and the lips were like Dan, as if he had found a rare treasure that only belonged to him, and even this picturesque country could not compete with the elegance between her eyebrows and eyes.
Li Xinghe had never seen such bright eyes, the stars were dotted, and he was a little stunned for a while, and he didn't feel that the distance between the two was shrinking, and the ambiguous atmosphere in the room gradually warmed up.
By the time Li Xinghe reacted, Wei Xianrong had already dropped a light kiss on her forehead, and instantly loosened the shackles on Li Xinghe.
Li Xinghe covered his forehead, jumped back a few steps, and pointed at Wei Xianrong and scolded,
"Okay, Your Highness doesn't have to be the flower thief who opened the window in the middle of the night, don't think that if you save me, I can forgive you for your frivolity." On the one hand, he criticized himself in his heart for being confused by beauty.
Seeing that Li Xinghe's little face was so angry that his face was red, Wei Xianrong immediately reined in, after all, this kind of thing still needs to be done step by step, in case she scares her away, it will be worth the loss.
"Kissing the forehead of the beloved girl when Jiuli is parting is for the meaning of blessing, how can it be considered frivolous."
Wei Xianrong said unashamedly, with a serious face, as if Li Xinghe was the one who made trouble unreasonably.
Li Xinghe looked at Wei Xianrong suspiciously, trying to find clues from his expression, but to no avail.
In the past, there was also a kiss hand ceremony in modern times, and this kiss should also be regarded as their custom, Li Xinghe thought that he gradually let down his guard, after all, the person in front of him was still his life-saving benefactor.
