At that time, the emperor had sent a special envoy to wait outside the palace, and Song Zanpu saw the envoy and hurriedly dismounted and saluted, and a retinue behind him followed from the horse to salute.

The envoys of Nacai have unloaded the bride price of gold and silver, silk satin tea, etc., and handed them over to the women of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be responsible for displaying them on both sides of the palace.

After the inner chamberlain reported to the emperor, the emperor sent an edict to welcome the "Xixia princess" to the Danxi Palace, and gave a special envoy to Tibet, asking Song Zanpu to wait outside the palace, and wait for the officials to send the tribute one by one, and then enter the palace to meet the emperor.

It turned out that in order to be prominent in front of the envoy of Tubo, Li Yuanhao deliberately asked the emperor's relatives and hundreds of officials and ministers to present the wedding gift to the "Xixia Princess", and the name of the gift was reported by the inner chamberlain one by one and recorded in the gift book.

Although the crown prince of Brother Ning Lingge has been abolished, in front of foreign countries, the prince is ranked, and he is also in the top ten of the gift-giving team, although the queen of the Yeli family has been deposed, the ranking is also the same, ranking in the top five of the gift-giving team.

Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi saw that the wild and wild waves were awe-inspiring, with a dignified appearance, their eyebrows were like paint, and their chests were broad, and they really had a majestic style. I saw that after he saluted Li Yuanhao, he actually raised his hands with both hands, and carried two large boxes of golden silk nanmu in his left and right hands, and carried the gifts into the hall and handed them to the people of the Internal Affairs Office.

Li Yuanhao was very happy when he saw his amazing strength, and said in his heart: "There is such a person in the Yeli family, and he can really join my command in the future." He immediately said to the inner chamberlain, "Give me a seat." ”

The left and right people hurriedly introduced the banquet position on the side, Yeli Langlie picked the closest position to Li Yuanhao and sat down, and saluted Li Yuanhao and said, "Thank you for the seat." ”

Suddenly, I heard the inner attendant shouting that the prince Ning Lingge was saluting, Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi hurriedly took up two large chests inlaid with gold mahogany, only to hear the inner chamberlain shouting: "The prince Ning Lingge is a gift, 500 gold bricks, 300 night pearls of the South China Sea, 10 glazed purple lucidum corals, 100 green jadeite of Baiyu Valley, 100 pure milk white marble of Baiyu Valley, and 100 luminous silk of Huizhou Silk Mansion." ”

Li Yuanhao laughed and said, "Okay, good, present it." Brother Ning Ling said: "Yes." Waving his hand, he motioned for Hu and Mu to carry the gifts and go to the front hall with them. Hu Mu and the others comprehended, carried the two mahogany boxes up to the Danxi Palace, placed them on the side of the gift given by the Yeli clan, and then stood aside to listen to the dispatch.

Li Yuanhao said: "Brother Ning Ling, the prince of the prince, this time he has a heart to give a seat." Brother Ning Ling hurriedly knelt down to thank him, he looked up at Wu Yi Shi is looking at him, his heart can't help but be sour, thinking of his wife, who has become his stepmother, this sulking has nowhere to attack, and he feels dizzy, and he almost collapsed to the ground without being able to support it.

He was in a hurry, so he simply made a gesture of being unable to get up, beckoned to Hu and Mu to support him, and the Wu Yi on the phoenix chair looked at it, and was shocked in his heart, and he was worried that Brother Ning Ling was sick, and he just wanted to open his mouth to ask, but he heard Li Yuanhao ask first: "What's wrong?"

Brother Ning Ling said: "Thank you for your father's care, the son just spent some time on the wedding gift, and he had a little insomnia last night, and he didn't rest well, so it's no big deal." ”

Li Yuanhao nodded and said, "Fengli has really put a lot of thought into it, give it a seat." Brother Ning Ling bowed down to thank him, his eyes didn't dare to look at the queen who didn't move, he was afraid that he would lose his temper.

And the eyes that didn't move the queen never left Brother Ning Ling, but her little concern, Brother Ning Ling was powerless and unwilling to bear it.

At that moment, Brother Ning Ling sat on the edge of Yeli Langlie, and the two exchanged glances and understood. It turned out that the Yeli clan found the martial arts master among the clansmen on the day of the abolition, and on the eve of the ceremony, he had already told Ning Lingge's plan and listened to it, promising that once the matter was completed, Yeli Langlie would be the first to take the lead and be crowned as the commander of the three armies.

Naye Li Langlie is also a martial artist, where would he have thought that Ye Li and Ning Lingge were both deposed, even if they could stab Li Yuanhao to death as they wished, Xiangguo and various generals who held military power, could they work together so together to protect the abolition of the crown prince and ascend the throne.

After more than half an hour, the service of the emperor's relatives and relatives has been completed. The new queen did not move, and Xuanyi summoned the "Princess of Western Xia" into the palace. The gongs and drums inside and outside the hall are in unison, and all the officials are wishing. The eyes of everyone inside and outside the hall were focused on the red carpet leading to the Danxi Palace.

A soft sedan chair with eight people carrying the gold phoenix luan came slowly, stopped outside the Danxi Palace, the palace attendant lifted the sedan curtain, and a beautiful woman with a white gauze mask walked out of the sedan chair, only to see that she was dressed in a gold and silver silk Luan bird Chaofeng embroidered pattern court dress, and the two sleeves were embroidered with a large peony, which was extremely bright. A black hair is curled into a dragon and phoenix bun, and the golden phoenix hairpin is decorated with broken beads and tassels, which is indescribably luxurious and elegant.

The chamberlain said: "'Xixia Princess' arrives in ---" The palace was suddenly crowded with people, and everyone rushed to see the beauty of "Xixia Princess". Song Zanpu, the envoy of Tibet, also looked sideways, and saw that although the "Princess of Western Xia" was covered with white veil, her eyes were really beautiful, and her eyes were clear and no cult people could not be forced to look at, and he said: "No wonder Prince Wang Qinde saw it three years ago, and he was obsessed with it. It's just that she may be a disaster to the crown prince, but for me, it is indeed an opportunity for meritorious service. ”

The new queen did not move and preached in the palace: "Xuan 'Princess of Western Xia' enters the palace." From a distance, she saw Ayimu getting out of the sedan chair in the princess dress she had prepared, and her every move was generous, not only beautiful and moving, but also extremely dignified and luxurious, and she was very happy in her heart.

Li Yuanhao, who was on the dragon chair, was also greatly stunned at first sight, although it was not the first time he had seen the "Princess of Western Xia", but this time, he was stunned again. Until he didn't move out loud and said, "Give a seat." Only then did he come back to his senses and said, "Give me a seat." ”

Ayimu thanked her, sat on the side of the new queen, took her hand, and praised with a smile: "My sister is becoming more and more delicate today." ”

Ayimu said shyly and softly: "It's all my sister's credit, I spent the whole night bothering to do something for me, and my sister has worked hard." ”

The two held hands and talked, looking very close. When everyone saw that the new queen and the princess were so close, they were surprised, and they wanted to stammer, and they congratulated them with a salute, and they stepped forward to congratulate them.

After a short time, the inner attendant said: "The Tibetan envoy Song Zanpu is saluted. ”

Li Yuanhao was overjoyed and said: "Quickly announce that the special envoy of Tubo will meet you." "It turned out that the gift to be presented by the Tibetan envoy this time was taken by Song Zanpu from the hands of the party Xiang Sanying and hidden in the twelve volumes of "Wujing General Essentials" in Xiangguo Temple of the Great Song Dynasty, and Li Yuanhao couldn't wait.

In the sound of horns and bells and drums, Song Zanpu strode into the Danxi Palace, knelt down and kowtowed under His Royal Highness, and said loudly: "Song Zanpu, the national teacher of Tubo, was ordered by the king and the prince to come to your country to marry the 'Xixia Princess', fortunately summoned by our emperor, fortunate to see the face of heaven, may my emperor live long live." ”

Li Yuanhao said: "The national teacher doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

Song Zanpu got up and said: "Emperor Xie, I was ordered to come to greet my relatives this time, and there is also a precious gift, which has been carried by my subordinates, and I want to hand it over to the Holy Lord." ”

After that, he untied the burden on his back and opened it in front of the temple. Everyone looked in front of the hall and said what a strange treasure it was, only to see that after this burden was opened, more than a dozen books in the shape of scriptures appeared.

Most of the civil and military officials in this palace don't know what kind of scriptures they are, they just think that these books are some kind of treasures, and they have to be so solemnly dedicated to the emperor, all of them say that this Tubo national teacher is making a fuss, only Hu Zhenbang, Mu Hanyi, and a few people such as Ning Lingge and Wu Zang Pang know that these scriptures are really extraordinary.

Li Yuanhao, who was on the dragon chair, saw these scriptures and said overjoyed: "Okay, eat more, take it and take it quickly." The personal guard stepped forward in response, Song Zanpu picked up the book with both hands and handed it to him, took it carefully, turned around and sent it to Li Yuanhao, held the scrolls with both hands, and handed them to Li Yuanhao.

Li Yuanhao was ecstatic, grabbed a book and flipped it slightly, and then flipped through another book, his face showed joy for a while, and then showed surprise.

Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi, Ning Lingge, Yeli Langlie, Wuzang Pang and Song Zanpu in front of the emperor also thought uncertainly: "Why does the emperor have such an expression, is there something wrong with this book." ”

When everyone was puzzled, Li Yuanhao suddenly laughed and said: "It's really a strange book, I got this book in Daxia, so why fear Liao and Song Zai from now on!" Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi looked at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that this book was the true work of "The General Essentials of the Martial Arts".

Li Yuanhao was satisfied, beckoned to eat more and came up, and commanded in a low voice: "You put it away, go and put it in the secret vault, and you must not lose it." "Eat more and be ordered to collect the scriptures, but still wrapped them in a burden, leaned on their backs, temporarily retired to Li Yuanhao, and went to the secret vault to put the books.

Hu Zhenbang's internal strength is very strong, and he had already heard Li Yuanhao's words to tell his henchmen and personal guards to eat more of himself, and when he saw that he had eaten more and retired, he knew that he must have gone to the "secret vault" in the emperor's mouth to store books. But in the current situation, it is inconvenient to follow him, so I have to wait and see.

Li Yuanhao said to Na Song Zanpu: "The national teacher was ordered to guard the scriptures and come to welcome his relatives all the way, it must have been very hard, and I will set up a banquet here today to entertain the national teacher and his party, and wash away the dust for the national teacher." ”

Song Tsangpu kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you for the emperor's hospitality, the marriage between the two countries, a hundred years of good cooperation, eliminate the army in the invisible, and jointly resist the Liao and Song countries, it is really the wish of the lord of the contemptible country, and I would like to thank the 'Xixia Princess' here."

Seeing Song Zanpu saluting him, Ayimu got up, returned a salute, and said: "There is a national teacher who has come from afar to marry, and it has been hard work, Ayimu is polite." ”

Song Zanpu listened to her voice like a warbler's cry, neither arrogant nor humble, and he was greatly admired in his heart: "This Xixia princess is not only born with a pair of eyes that are unparalleled in the world, but also has such a gentle and elegant personality, and knows the general situation, His Majesty the prince is really lucky, and this time the princess was successfully married back to China, which is another great achievement, and I have one more point of power in the court." ”

That Li Yuanhao was already amazed by Ayimu's makeup today, and at this time, seeing Ayimu's proper behavior, he secretly said in his heart: "If it weren't for the sake of dominating the world with this strange book, how could I let go of this phoenix and let her fly to the chicken coop." Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's cheaper for this Tibetan prince. ”
