The next day, when the sun was sinking in the west and the twilight was four.

Heqin's convoy finally came to Wangcheng.

In the royal court, the palace is lined up, with brilliant stone pillars and brilliant glazed tile roofs, and under the sunset, a piece of brilliance shines.

Si Lu was arranged in the queen's hall, and the dormitory was bright and luxurious.

The crystal is the lamp, the pearl and jade are the curtains, the red sandalwood bed hangs the silk veil, the gauze curtain is embroidered with silver silk with a large piece of Gesang flowers, when there is wind, the silk yarn moves lightly, if there is a dark fragrance floating.

The tables and chairs, railings, wooden pillars in the hall are all painted silver gilt, into the eye, the golden light is shining, extravagant abnormal, the white jade is full of hall, the gold brick pavement, the gem inlay, the gold is brilliant.

It can be seen how fierce the expansion and plundering of the Beirong royal family have been in recent years.

They were barbaric and brutal, menacing, and swept the entire north, and after these golden splendors, how many families were ruined and corpses were strewn all over the field.

Brother Zirui told her before that if Beirong is not eliminated, it will be a big disaster in the world after all.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Chunxi walked in with several Hu maidens, saluted her, and said, "Princess, the King of Khan has sent these maids to serve you. ”

Si Lu looked over, and the four Hu girls were wearing short Hu skirts, lined up, squatting and introducing themselves in broken Chinese.

"Slave Julie." "Slave Koman."

"Slave Poole." "Slave Tamu."

Si Lu wrote them down one by one, leaving Zhu Li, who looked the most clever, and asked the other three to retreat and rest.

Zhu Li looks innocent, her skin is dark, her hair is thick and braided, her hair is curled, her eyes are round and bright, and she looks like she is only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Zhu Li admired Si Lu's beauty for a long time, she has lived in Beirong since she was a child, and has never seen a woman from the Central Plains, most of the locals have rough and dark skin, and they don't know that they have skin as white as snow.

Si Lu let her circle around her, her eyes blazing, which also shows Zhu Li's innocence.

She tried to find out some news about the royal city, and she asked her in fluent nonsense: "I am new to the city, and I am not familiar with everything in your royal city, you have been here for a long time, can you introduce me?" ”

This made Julie admire her even more, "Kedun's nonsense is really good. ”

Zhu Li is a talker, and soon explained to her the layout of the buildings and roads in the royal city.

After saying this, she also gushed about the people in the royal city, the king of Khan has eight clans, among which the most prominent is the Tota Li Ke clan, the Tota family is one of the most famous families in Beirong, and the elder brother of the Tota Li Ke clan is the chief of the Tota tribe, and he has made great contributions to the royal court.

With that, she whispered to her, "Kedun, Totari has a bad temper, so you must be careful with her." ”

After talking about a few clans, she also talked about the Khan's princes and princesses, the old Khan King has a total of eight daughters and seven sons, some of whom have sealed their territories, and they are not in the royal city all the year round, and they will only come back on festivals.

The city was inhabited by the eldest prince, the second prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince, and were the Khan's favorite princes.

Zhu Li said with relish: "The eldest prince and the second prince seem to have had a disagreement, but on weekdays, the eldest prince is kind-hearted, the second prince is ruthless, the fourth prince and the seventh prince and even most of the people in the palace are towards the eldest prince, and only the fifth prince is towards the second prince." ”

"The Fifth Prince?"

Si Lu groaned, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered the man who entered the second prince's tent with a big felt hat that night.

"Yes, the life story of the fifth prince is legendary."

Zhu Li gushed, "There has always been a story on the grassland that he is the son of the wolf king. ”

Son of the Wolf King?

Si Lu was more and more surprised.

Zhu Li was full of interest, "Yes, he was born with different pupils, he was regarded as ominous, he was thrown off the cliff by the wizard but still survived, I heard that he was picked up by the wolves and raised by the wolf king." ”

"When he returned to the royal court at the age of seven, the Khan felt that his life was hard, so he stayed by his side, he was shrewd and capable, and he didn't like to be showy, so he was slowly weighed down by the Khan......"

I see.

In this way, these five princes are quite a legendary figure.

However, these had little to do with her, and after asking Zhu Li some about the layout and route of the royal city, Si Lu let her go.

*

At night, Si Lu lay on the wide red sandalwood bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

Julie tells her that tomorrow the Khan will hold a grand welcome ceremony to welcome her.

When the time comes, all the princes, princesses, and tribal leaders will come back to participate, and it will be a huge event.

In addition, the king of Khan will also leave them in the royal city to observe the ceremony, and after seven days, he will hold the grandest wedding on the steppe, marry the princess, and marry the two countries forever under the witness of the envoys of the Central Plains.

Si Lu only felt a headache.

In this way, wouldn't everyone in the tribe know her?

If she runs away, she will be more likely to be discovered.

But she can't shirk it now, so she has to make a bold appearance, after all, it is her important task to make peace with her relatives this time.

*

The next day, the palace was full of people, the lights were bright, and the sheng sang and danced.

The leaders of all the departments of the royal court came, the princes and princesses were also present, plus the envoys accompanying the Central Plains, the entire Golden Palace was crowded with people, and it was extremely lively.

The beautifully dressed bearded girls are dressed in tulle short skirts, outlining a slender and graceful figure, looming curves, giving people endless reverie, flexible as flying swallows, stepping on the drums, accompanied by music, the body is spinning, graceful, dancing briskly Hu Xuan dance.

Their red jade feet, wrapped in silver chains, and the copper bells tinkling, shining brightly under the lights.

Bursts of cheers resounded through the hall.

The Hu people began to talk and mocked, "These dancing girls are so beautiful, if they compare to the princess of the Han family, how can they be good?" ”

"Yes, the charm of our Hu people and dancers is the most enchanting, if you talk about beauty, I'm afraid that the princess of the Han family is not as good as it."

Si Lu was in the side hall next door, listening to the cheers and discussions in the palace, and his heart was like a drum.

She was a little nervous, not because these Hu people compared her to a dancer, implicitly humiliating, but because she was conflicted in her heart and didn't want to be noticed.

The maid drew the curtain and changed her clothes.

Si Lu stood with her back to her, the dim candle reflecting her milky back.

The two Hu maids were amazed.

"Kedun will definitely become the favorite woman of the Khan."

Si Lu stood in the darkness, silent, his thick long eyelashes drooping, and he couldn't see his emotions.

The Han family's neon clothes are complicated and gorgeous, but it is not easy to wear, and it requires two people to work together.

This neon dress was given by the Queen Mother, and she was asked to wear it when she entered the royal court to show the charm of the princess of a great country.

Si Lu knew that as soon as he wore this neon dress today, he was full of momentum.

will definitely make the Beirong people identify her as the princess of the Han family.

But at the same time, it will also attract attention, contrary to her unobtrusive and restrained ideas.

Thinking of this, Si Lu's palms were wet.

But there was no way out for her, and the maid led her out of the palace, and when the golden door opened, all eyes were on her.

She settled her mind, silently thought that the boat would go straight to the bridge, and at the moment, she would first achieve the mission of harmony.

"Princess Zhaole has arrived—"

With a loud shout, the door of the temple slowly opened.

Si Lu took a deep breath, clenched his ten fingers into his palm, tried to maintain his composure, and slowly walked into the hall.

Today, she is the princess of Great Xia.

You can't show half a minute of cowardice.

The dances, music, songs, laughter and laughter in the hall came to an abrupt end at this moment, and countless eyes were cast at her.

Si Lu folded his hands in front of him and walked forward step by step.

All the hustle and bustle turned into silence.

All eyes are amazed and fascinated.

She is not as beautiful as a mortal, but more like a goddess who has been mortal for nine days.

The lights are shining, reflecting her beautiful face, her skin is whiter than snow, her eyebrows are like paintings, she is beautiful, her sideburns are like ink clouds, and she wears a jade crown inlaid with treasures.

Dressed in snow-colored neon clothes, her whole body seems to be covered with light blue smoke, showing her already beautiful complexion unparalleled in the world, the long skirt is dragged behind her, several zhang long, and the nine-tailed divine bird is woven with gold thread, dazzling as if she wants to spread her wings and take off.

It seems to be real and illusory, ethereal and light.

Not like a mortal person.

Just one glance makes people lose their souls.

Feeling those gazes, Si Lu straightened his back, maintained an elegant posture, and walked on the gold-brick paved hall.

"Goddess, goddess descends to earth."

I don't know who shouted first, and then there was a boiling noise.

"The Khan is so blessed that he can obtain □□ goddess."

"I, Beirong, will definitely be blessed by the gods."

In the call of the crowd, Si Lu walked up to the high platform, Jodro Khan wore a golden crown on his head, dressed in a royal robe, although his temples were slightly frosty, but his spirit was acceptable, he looked at her and lost his mind, and it took a while to come back to his senses.

"Goddess...... Oh no, Princess Zhaole, please take a seat. ”

Si Lu bowed his knees, made a central salute, and sat down on the queen's seat beside him, and beside him, the princes led by the second prince sat one after another.

They all wore purple and gold crowns, golden robes, and their bearings were luxurious, and at this moment, they looked at her one after another, and many of them lingered on her.

The second prince looked at her with an almost obsessive look, like a wolf and a tiger, and did not shy away from others.

This scene was discovered by the King of Khan, who was a little dissatisfied and coughed, "Hailuo, go to the apse to see, how is the wine prepared?" ”

This is clearly to drive him away, Huyan Hailuo is willing to defend himself, "Father Khan, but the son is the crown prince of Beirong, and today he represents Beirong, how can he leave the table." ”

But this angered the king of Khan, and his face was filled with a slight anger, "You are the crown prince, so you can pass your father?" ”

At this moment, the palace was staggered, singing and drumming, and no one noticed that the Khan was angry, and only the royal children in the vicinity could see it clearly.

"Father Khan ......"

The second prince also has to argue.

At this time, the eldest prince sitting beside him spoke, "Second brother, although you are the crown prince, you are the son of your father Khan after all, and your father Khan issued an order, how can you push it back?" Hurry up and obey. ”

The eldest prince was born with a good face, without too many edges and edges, and his voice was also humble and kind.

The second prince was immediately enraged, and said wildly, "I am talking to the noble father Khan, how can I allow you, a son of a lowly clan, to intervene." ”

The other princes couldn't stand it and helped the eldest prince to speak.

"Father Khan, the second brother's words are too hurtful."

"Yes, he has no one in his eyes, not only disobeys you, but also insults the eldest brother, and his virtue is not worthy."

When he heard the words "De is not worthy", King Khan's expression suddenly froze.

Several people were silent, and no one dared to speak for a while.

After a long time, a low-alcohol voice sounded.

"Father Khan, the second brother has a noble status, he really shouldn't leave, and the son will do the work of preparing wine in the apse."

Clear and clear, like a mountain spring, beating people's hearts, it is very pleasant to the ear.

Following the sound, the man stood there, tall and handsome, although hidden in the gorgeous robe, but vaguely could see his broad back and solid arms, his face was handsome, his facial features were deep, giving people a sense of heroism, especially the pair of eyes, translucent like obsidian, under the lamplight, bright and flawless, with the power to breathe people's hearts.

This face, Si Lu only felt familiar.

For a while, I couldn't remember.

The King of Khan came down the stairs, glanced at him, and agreed without much thought.

"If you want to share your brother's worries, go ahead."

He bowed and saluted, got up and left, his body was straight, his gait was vigorous, and he was like a meteor.

And the second prince who stayed suddenly showed a smug look on his face.

Si Lu sat upright, and there was a faint guess in his heart.

In this palace, there are only five princes facing the second prince.

That's why the man is called the son of the wolf king—

Huyan Haimo.

But didn't Julie say that he was born with different pupils?

Why didn't she see it?

If she saw something, it was that this person was extremely deep.

The second prince is ruthless, arrogant and arrogant, but he has no city government and no scheming.

But these five princes give people a gloomy and desolate feeling, like a deep ocean, and if they are not careful, they will drown.

But this has nothing to do with her, since she thinks this person is dangerous, she will try to avoid it in the future.

After the feast, Si Lu returned to the queen's palace, freshened up, and lay on the spacious bed, but could not sleep for a long time.

In the past few days, Yodro Khan will not do anything to her, and he will still politely respect her as □□ honored guest.

She's safe for now.

It's just that seven days later, after the wedding ceremony, everything is hard to say.

And after this night banquet, Si Lu also found that the Beirong royal court looked calm on the surface, but in fact, there was an undercurrent surging inside.

The eldest prince may have the heart to win the heir, and he seems to be good at winning people's hearts, and the rest of the princes seem to be on his side, but his mother clan is low, and his power is not enough to support his ambitions.

Among the princes, only the fifth prince is on the side of the second prince.

But that's only on the surface, and only they know what is really inside.

In such an intertwined and turbulent royal court, Si Lu didn't want to stay for a day, but now she could only wait for the opportunity, gather momentum and plan, and when the time was ripe, she would flee from here and return to Chang'an.
