Hu Zhenbang and the three looked at each other, not knowing why the crown princess wanted to find here. Just when I was wondering, I saw several palace maids coming over with breakfast, and when they saw the crown princess, they knelt down and said goodbye.

The crown princess smiled and said, "Get up, who are you delivering food to?" Is it the 'Princess of Xixia'?"

The palace maid said: "Back to the crown princess, this is breakfast for the eldest brother of the 'Xixia Princess'." And he dwelt in this place. ”

The crown princess looked up and down the house where Hu Zhenbang lived, and nodded: "The residence arranged by the prince this time is not bad." He turned around and asked the palace maid before, "You say, this 'Xixia princess' is here with her eldest brother?"

The palace maid said: "Yes, I think the three brothers and sisters are deeply affectionate, and they are reluctant to separate, so they want to get together for more time." ”

Hu Zhenbang and the three of them saw that the princess was smiling, and treated the palace attendants very kindly, and their hearts were a little at ease. Ayimu said softly: "Big brother, second sister, you sit here for a while, and wait for me to go out to see the crown princess." ”

Hu Zhenbang nodded and said, "You act when you see the opportunity, remember not to take risks." Mu Hanyi stretched out his hand and shook her hand, signaling Ayimu to be careful.

It turned out that the person outside the door was Ning Lingge's wife, and the crown princess of the Great Xia Kingdom did not move. This crown princess is not only beautiful, but also gentle and elegant, very kind, and her life with Brother Ning Ling after marriage is also very beautiful.

That day, she heard Brother Ning Ling say that the emperor asked him to be responsible for secretly visiting the people The woman who looked like the "Princess of Xixia" had been found, and said that she looked exactly like the masked woman painted by the master Gao before, and she was curious, wanting to see what kind of person this strange woman with eyes "brighter than the stars" was. So I wanted to find out.

Ayimu opened the door, stepped forward, and bowed deeply to the Wuyi clan: "The people's daughter Haiyisha knocks on Her Majesty the Crown Princess." ”

Wu Yishi stepped forward and grabbed Ayimu, looked up and down, Ge Gejiao smiled and said: "Sister, please get up quickly, no wonder the prince said that you are thousands of times more beautiful than the people in the paintings of the high painters, it seems that this is true, just the eyes of my sister, I don't know how many people to fascinate me, but I look, although it is charming, but there is still an awe-inspiring and inviolable atmosphere, good, good, good, as long as I am here, good sister, I am not allowed to be bullied by you." ”

Ayimu saw that the crown princess was affectionate to her, and she felt like she was at home at first sight, and she was very happy in her heart, so she said: "Your Majesty the crown princess has a good reputation, and the folk girl is just a country girl, how can the princess have such a graceful and beautiful temperament like an orchid." ”

Wu Yi smiled and said: "I heard the prince say that yesterday you refused to take off your veil in front of your father and let the Son of Heaven see the true face, which made the emperor very faceless, but you can't help it?"

Ayimu said: "Back to Her Majesty the Crown Princess, in fact, the people's daughter did not intend to anger Tianyan, but the people's daughter did swear that the man would not marry unless she saw it at first sight, and the people's daughter really didn't want to embarrass the emperor, so she was suspected of committing it." ”

Wu Yi Zhengse said: "Sister, I think you have done a good job, and I will do the same." Your temper is somewhat similar to mine, and since you are so attached, you don't have to see outside, just call me sister. ”

Ayimu hurriedly said: "The people's daughter is presumptuous, the crown princess, the princess and the princess sister." He smiled and said, "This is very good, and from now on you and I will be called sisters." It's a pity that in a short time, you will be married to Tibet. It's easy to have a sister to talk to, alas--"

As he was talking, he saw Brother Ning Ling striding over, and said loudly: "Little Yue, I've been looking for you for a long time, and my father said that tomorrow I will gather the ministers and all the family members to listen to the announcement in the Danxi Palace, saying that I want to officially canonize Haiisha as the 'Princess of Western Xia'." ”

He talked from a distance and approached, and suddenly saw that Wu Yi and Ayimu shook hands and laughed, and he was stunned, his face was embarrassed, it turned out that he had a very good relationship with his wife, and he privately nicknamed Wu Yi Shi "Little Moon", and now he saw that he was actually heard by "Haisha", so he was not embarrassed.

Fortunately, Ayimu seemed very calm, and saluted him: "Greetings to His Majesty the Crown Prince." ”

Ning Linggeqi said: "Haisha, have you and the crown princess known each other for a long time?"

Ayimu was about to reply, but the crown princess preemptively said: "Although Sister Haiisha and I have only known each other for a while, we have seen each other at first sight. ”

Ayimu echoed: "Yes, the people's daughter and Her Majesty the Crown Princess hit it off at first sight, she treated me very kindly, although the people's daughter has no sister, but when I see her, it is as if I have seen my sister." ”

Brother Ning Ling frowned, and said in his heart: "Haisha, Haisha, yesterday you actually wanted your father to marry you as the imperial concubine when he saw your full appearance, saying that you are greedy for glory and wealth, and you still don't admit it, I still have a little respect for you yesterday, and now you are 'like a sister' with the crown princess so soon, what is the purpose? If you really intend to climb the powerful, it can be said that your scheming is unfathomable." ”

Ayimu knew his intentions, and said with a slight smile: "I heard from His Majesty the Crown Prince that the Holy Lord wants to canonize me as the 'Princess of Western Xia', but he intends to marry me to Tibet in this capacity?"

Brother Ning Ling said: "Yes, my father has this intention, is this just as you want?"

Ayimu Zhengse said: "Your Majesty the Prince, if the Holy Lord wants to crown me as the 'Princess of Western Xia' and marry Tubo, the folk girl has only one request, that is, to let the folk daughter's brothers and sisters marry to Tubo together, otherwise--"

Brother Ning Ling asked, "Otherwise, what?"

Ayimu said: "The folk girl is still the same sentence, if I have to do something unwillingly, the folk girl would rather die." ”

Wu Yi said in awe: "Sister, your temper is very close to me. Prince, don't press her anymore. ”

Brother Ning Ling said to Wu Yi's family: "Since you two are familiar at first sight, then I won't hinder you from talking." I remember that tomorrow morning when the dynasty is over, my father will gather everyone to attend the ceremony. ”

Wu Yi said: "I know, you go and be busy with your government affairs, tomorrow canonization, I will personally prepare the clothes for the princess for tomorrow's ceremony." ”

After Brother Ning Ling left, Wu Yishi pulled Ayimu with a smile and said, "Sister, your eldest brother and younger sister, but living in this house, I also want to meet my sister's relatives." ”

Ayimu said: "Then please ask my sister to follow me into the house, if the people's family doesn't understand the rules, I hope my sister will bear with me." ”

Wu Yishi followed Ayimu into the house, and saw Hu Zhenbang sitting opposite Mu Hanyi chatting, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he quickly got up. Without waiting for Ayimu to speak, Wu Yishi said first: "These two must be my sister's eldest brother and younger sister." ”

Ayimu said: "Exactly. Big brother and little sister, hurry up and meet Her Majesty the Crown Princess. ”

Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Meet Her Majesty the Crown Princess." ”

Wu Yi said with a smile: "No courtesy, my sister's family is all handsome." "It turns out that the Tangut people are not as formal as the Han people, so since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Yuanhao has created the Tangut script, modified the official system of the Song people, and intended to abolish the rules of the Great Song Dynasty etiquette.

Mu Hanyi is a Jurchen, and her personality is also very straightforward, seeing her praise her handsomeness, her heart is very happy, but Hu Zhenbang's face is red. Mu Hanyi saw that this crown princess spoke straightforwardly, and she was not restrained at the moment, and replied: "Your Majesty Princess Xie praises." ”

Seeing that Haisha's sister is clever and cute, he also likes it very much, and asked the names of the two brothers and sisters, Hu Zhenbang told him that he is called "Mu Hu" and his little sister is called "Mu Han", and said that he and Haisha's three brothers and sisters are all brothers and sisters who have grown up together since childhood, and their feelings are extremely deep , to be left in the palace, and will soon marry far away to Tibet, is really reluctant to worry, fortunately His Majesty the Prince, let himself and his little sister, temporarily live here, until the second sister Hai Yisha marryed, before returning to the countryside of Liangzhou.

I didn't move to listen to Hu Zhenbang tell how reluctant the brother and sister were to separate, and I didn't feel that I had a good impression of Hu Zhenbang's love for my brother and sister. Thinking of his young age, because he was not loved by his brother, he was always bullied by others, and he was envious of Ayimu having such a brother. Thinking of hearing Ayimu say that if the emperor did not allow her eldest brother and younger sister to marry to Tubo, she would rather die, and then became chivalrous and said: "Don't worry, I will persuade the saint to allow you two to marry the 'Xixia princess' to Tubo." ”

When Hu Zhenbang and the three of them saw that Wu Yi said this, they were all overjoyed, and they all got up and saluted together: "Your Majesty the crown princess is very gracious, and my brother and sister will never forget." ”

Wu Yishi hurriedly got up and said: "The three of you don't have to be formal, I get along very well with your brother and sister, and there is an indescribable cordiality inexplicably, so I should try my best to help each other." The hour is not early, wait for me to take Sister Haisha to prepare some canonization clothes, and at that time, I will definitely ask the prince to ask his father to play, and allow your brother and sister to salute outside the canonization hall. ”

Before dawn the next day, a palace attendant called the three of them. The crown princess personally took Ayimu to Fengyi Palace, bathed and changed clothes, dined, and waited for the good day to arrive, and then went to the palace to listen to the seal.

Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi also finished their own freshening up and waited for news in the house.

Everything stopped, the sky was already bright, Li Yuanhao summoned hundreds of civil and military officials, the queen, and hundreds of the queen's family on the palace hall, and announced in public that Haiisha would be appointed as the "princess of Western Xia".

As soon as the holy decree came out, Queen Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she knew that Li Yuanhao was lustful, and she had taken Ayimu three years ago, and wanted to register as a concubine, but fortunately Ayimu was a martyr, and she would rather die than obey, and finally ran away and disappeared, so she was relieved. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, I heard that my son Ning Lingge found a beautiful masked girl who looked like the missing "Xixia Princess" for the emperor, and couldn't help but be very annoyed.

The decree was announced, and the ceremony of canonization was performed.

On the top of the main hall, the cigarette smoke is swirling, and the civil and military officials, the emperor's relatives and relatives are gathered together.

When he was young, the Luan Yiwei officer carried a phoenix crown sedan chair to the outside of the hall, and the palace attendant threw away the sedan curtain, only to see a woman walking out of the sedan chair, wearing a white gold embroidered silk gown, a dark green bottom inlaid with silver silk Su satin long skirt mopping the floor, tied with a light blue bottom water pattern waist, hair combed into a wishful bun, a jasper phoenix hairpin inserted on the cloud temples, still white gauze mask, but a pair of black eyes like stars scorching.

When everyone saw it, they all cheered in their hearts.
