Outside the Golden Luang Palace,

Zeng Tai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took a group of people with strange faces and uncertain Xixia and his party to the couch of Honglu Temple to wash and rest, and adjust it, and there will be a banquet presided over by Emperor Xiao Wu himself in the evening to entertain everyone.

After arriving at the destination, Zeng Tai greeted him slightly, summoned the attendants and maids, and said to Princess Yue'er, Liao Huaiying and other Western Xia envoys, "Princess Yue'er, Master Liao, if you need to tell the entourage below, just give it an order." ”

"There's Lord Laozeng!"

Hearing this, Wu Yue'er put her palms downward, stretched out horizontally, placed her right hand on top of her left hand, put her palms together in front of her chest, and gently bowed. Liao Huaiying and the others gave up.

"If there is nothing to do, this official will retire first!"

"Lord Zeng, please, there is a princess of Lao Guoshi to send it on behalf of the princess!"

"Lord Zeng, please!" Liao Huaiying stretched out his hand forward.

"How dare you, how dare you!"

Under some pushing, Liao Huaiying sent Zeng Tai to the door and watched him leave.

Liao Huaiying's expression was gloomy, her face was blue, and with a deep displeasure, she entered the house, waved her hand to let the rest of the people retreat, and said with a slight question, and said dissatisfied, "What does the little princess mean by today's actions?" ”

"Isn't that what you want?"

"What do you mean by running to question this princess?" Under Wu Yue'er's veil, her beautiful face carried a trace of disdain, and then she moved lightly, came to the dresser, slowly took off the hairpin, and said in a cold voice.

"Little princess, don't forget, how did you promise us when you came?"

"Didn't you disrupt our original plan and roast us on the fire?"

The more Liao Huaiying spoke, the more excited he became, his white eyebrows erected, trembling as if he had made a sound, his eyes spewing out a cold light, and he said coldly, "You'd better put away your self-pretentious cleverness, don't think we don't know." ”

"You let the close guards loyal to you take the things, and leave the team overnight to go to Beijing to find someone."

"You're spying on me?" Hearing this, Wu Yue'er took off the hairpin's jade hand and gently slowed down, and then her good-looking eyes suddenly burst out with a hint of coldness.

"It's not surveillance, it's protection!"

"What did you do to him?"

"Of course it's to send him to a place where he will never be able to open his mouth!" Liao Huaiying carried her hands behind her back, her eyes were cold, and her tone was mixed with a thick chill.

Hearing this, Wu Yue'er had a hairpin in her hand and fell to the ground, and a trace of sadness suddenly flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, Liao Huaiying smiled coldly, picked up the hairpin on the ground, and slapped it heavily on the table, "Princess Yue'er, you remember that only we can save your royal family and save your father from the fire and water." ”

"Of course, the premise is that you have to be obedient!"

"Otherwise, you can be the noble princess Yue'er of Western Xia, and we can change someone."

In the last sentence, Liao Huaiying accentuated his tone, "You are good at yourself, remember our plan, and next time you are disobedient, you know..... Hum! ”

After speaking, he waved his sleeves and strode away.

There was only a pair of eyes left in the room that were buried with grief, and the eyes were lined with the sad Wu Yue'er.

After Liao Huaiying left, she hid outside the door and Wu Yue'er's personal maidservant, and Xing'er dared to walk in.

Seeing her young lady like this, Xing'er felt empathy, with a hint of crying voice, "Princess, has that old guy Liao Huaiying embarrassed you again?" ”

"No problem!"

Wu Yue'er shook her head lightly, slowly took off her veil, revealing her beautiful face, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, secretly in a daze.

Imperial Study,

Emperor Xiao Wu stood at the top, with his back to Shen Cangbai, Zheng Sanbao and the leaders of the hundred civil and military officials.

These people standing in the imperial study are the Daming Zhou Ding Seagod Needle, and if you stomp on it, you will tremble when you go to the capital.

The few people who are usually high up and say nothing in their respective institutions, and the majestic people are all burying their heads deeply at the moment.

Bang!

Emperor Xiao Wu suddenly slapped on the bookcase, turned around suddenly, his black and white eyes burst out with a trace of coldness, and with a hint of murderous intent in his tone, he said coldly, "What do you mean by the words of the little princess of Xixia?" ”

"Don't hesitate to bet on yourself, and ask Li Cangqiong by name!"

"Do you think this move is her opinion or is it the true idea of the Western Xia royal family?"

Hearing this, Shen Cangbai and the others' bodies trembled slightly, and their heads were buried lower.

They know the inside story, but they know that Li Cangqiong is Emperor Xiao Wudi's heart disease, and he is also a person who is forbidden to talk about.

"Don't you speak?"

Seeing that everyone's heads were buried lower, Emperor Xiao Wudi's eyes narrowed slightly, but his flat tone was mixed with a thick coercion.

Li Zhengqing, a bachelor who may not be able to withstand such coercion, took the lead in walking out and said, "Your Majesty, when the little princess of Xixia proposed a friendly literary and artistic exchange between the two countries, and added color, Weichen observed Liao Huaiying and others. ”

I found that they also seemed to be stunned by the little princess of Xixia's move, dumbfounded, and stunned in place.

"Therefore, Weichen dared to infer that this move may be the little princess of Western Xia who insisted on going her own way, and Liao Huaiying and others should be in the dark and didn't know about it."

"This move also caught them off guard."

Hearing this, Emperor Xiao Wu bowed his head slightly, which was also the primary reason why he didn't get mad at that time, and immediately asked, "Then what do you think the little princess of Xixia means?" ”

"Wechen is ignorant and doesn't know."

Hearing this, Li Zhengqing's eyelids trembled slightly, flashed, and shook his head in confusion.

"Long live Lord, the slave feels that the top priority is not to find out what Princess Xixia's move means." Zheng Sanbao looked flattering and walked out.

"The most important thing is that the three puzzles brought by Princess Xixia of Lulin Garden in the evening, if we solve them, no matter what their intentions, they can be solved, and they also show my majesty and generosity."

"But if you can't untie it..."

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed a solemn look, it's okay to untie it, if you can't answer, not only will you lose face with Ming Zhou, but you will also hand over Li Cangqiong.

The most important thing is that many years ago, Emperor Xiao Wu sent people to Jiangnan to invite Li Cangqiong and his wife, but after arriving at his destination, he did not see Li Cangqiong and his wife, and a room of luggage disappeared.

Therefore, they really can't make friends with people.

As long as you lose, not only the people of the Ming and Zhou dynasties will be lost, but other countries will definitely ridicule it.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Emperor Xiao Wu, who is determined to lead the Ming Zhou to become the strongest country in this land.

Hearing this, Emperor Xiao Wudi's face was expressionless, and he immediately said with a slight annoyance, "Sanbao, the widow has told you a few times, and now you are not only the widow's pro-Changle Hou, but also the supreme commander of the East Factory." “

"Don't always be a slave, a slave pretends to be a slave."

Hearing this, Zheng Sanbao saw that Emperor Xiao Wu wanted to walk down from the top, so he hurriedly trotted to help the latter, and said flatteringly, "All these things of the slaves are rewarded by the Lord of Long Live Lord." “

"Thanks to the trust of the Long Live Lord, the slave has nothing to repay, so he has to do his best to do everything that the slave can explain to the Long Live Lord, and do it properly."

"Long live the steps, be careful of the steps!"

Emperor Xiao Wu seemed to be very useful, with a faint smile on his face, and said helplessly, "You, you will be poor!" “

Shen Pale, Xiao Yao and the others saw this scene, with a trace of disdain at the corners of their mouths, secretly mocking, this yin and yang person is really good at licking, this horse slapping kung fu is perfect.

However, what they really thought in their hearts was, why did I take this step slowly, if I had been smarter, he would be the one who licked Emperor Xiao Wu now.

"For this banquet in the evening, does Li Qing's family have any preparations?"

"Long live the Lord, it's ready!" Li Zhengqing bowed his hand heavily, although his words were short, but he revealed great confidence.

Just kidding, talented bachelors from all over the country are concentrated in his Hanlin Academy, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, reciting poems, knowing astronomy, geography, and reading a wide range of books.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty is rich in land and resources, and the land is boundless, and it can't deal with the small Xixia in a projectile land.

"The Hanlin Academy is full of talents, Zhong Lingyuxiu, with them, they are safe."

Shen Cangbai came out appropriately, and he also nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, the rest of the adults in the imperial study all agreed.

Because the gathering place of talents in the Ming and Zhou dynasties is the Hanlin Academy, and the White Horse Academy under its jurisdiction has gathered many students from all over the world.

Seeing this, Emperor Xiao Wu was also a lot more relieved, bowed his head slightly, and said indifferently, "This time, who can take the lead in answering the three questions of Western Xia, there are many rewards." “

"Weichen congratulates Your Majesty in advance!"

Hearing this, all the adults bowed their hands together and congratulated.

At this moment, Xiaoyao's heart suddenly moved, his eyes rolled, and he said, "Shengshang, in two days it will be this year's list of Jinshi meeting, it is better to bring them together, except for the top three, the rest of the Jinshi can be the princess of Xixia three questions as a court exam." “

Hearing this, Emperor Xiao Wu thought lightly, "Accurate! “
