At the end of October, the envoys of Ximin brought three boxes of rare spices and medicinal materials unique to the Western Regions, three boxes of Yi, Tibetan headdresses, weaving and dyeing cloth, leather goods, three boxes of wine filled with fine glass and a Western Regions music and dance troupe.Nine large boxes of gifts were scattered by camels, and the caravan stretched for a street.The reason why we know that there are nine big boxes is that when they arrived at the Kunlun Hall dedicated to the envoys of Ximin, the envoys of Ximin personally unloaded the packs, sorted and packed them, and sang the gift list under the attention of the welcome team of the five princes and the onlookers."
Honorable Fifth Prince, please accept Zampu's heart on behalf of the Son of Dayu, and may Dayu and Ximin always have a brotherly relationship and a good alliance."
The expressions of the five princes remained unchanged, and they were generously received.The Ministry of Rites asked people to carry the box down, and found that the two people could not lift it, and it was increased to four people to carry it."
Dayu's economy is prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people advocate literature and Taoism, unlike our Ximin, where everyone is fierce and rude, and they will only pick up yaks and capture wild horses alive."
The words of the representative of Ximin's envoy seem to be praising Yu and degrading Min, but if you listen carefully, it is not difficult to find that he is mocking Dayu for being feminine and masculine."
That's what the envoy said."
The five princes followed the words of the envoy representative, which made the envoy representative stunned.But the five princes did not wait for the envoy representative to come back to his senses and continued: "Ximin is in the border field, and the living conditions are poor, so it has created the brave character and strong physique of the Ximin people, and our Dayu is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and we have been abundant since ancient times, so we have been studying all day long, how to protect everything that exists, and to win more with less and more to seek and seize a better geographical location and abundant materials."
You are brave and fearless, but we only stir our brains. ”After speaking, the fifth prince said to the people carrying it below: "I will work hard in front of the guests, what's the matter, I am afraid that the distinguished guests from Ximin who come from afar will be frightened by the crowbar and the four horses?"
”Ximin's envoys guessed that the four horses should be a horse-drawn carriage, and they had never heard of what a crowbar was, thinking that it was just ordinary tools and carriages.For what they had to say, the five princes replied sarcastically after a few words.Akari praised them again and again, but every sentence seemed to say that they Ximin people have developed limbs and are simple-minded.Looking at the appearance of the fifth prince now, he stood with his hands in his hands, his face was not shocked, and he couldn't see what he meant.But it didn't take long for the Ximin envoys to understand.The Ministry of Rites listened to the words of the five princes, drove the wide four-horse car, and the two guards tossed the Ximin people for an hour with the help of a crowbar, and all the gifts were transported to the car in less than half an hour.Seeing that the faces of the Ximin envoys were not good-looking, the fifth prince continued: "My emperor knows that you have come from afar, and the carriages and horses are tired, so please have a good rest today, and tomorrow, Lord Li and I will come early in the morning to pick you up into the palace and face the saint in person." ”After Chao Minghao finished speaking, he led the Ximin envoy team into the hall.The curator of the hall came up with a smile and trotting: "Your Royal Highness, the envoys, everything is arranged in the small hall......"
Xu Yuan, or Mo Jiu is more suitable, she was among the crowd, and saw her brother following Chao Minghao's side, his hand often caressing the sword at his waist, his ears and eyes were smart, and he looked around quietly.Chao Minghao advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and he was able to deal with it freely, and those officials of the Ministry of Rites who received Ximin's envoys with him, when they talked about it in private, they all praised it, and everyone praised it.The onlookers also felt that the prince looked friendly and behaved very decently.Xu Yuan saw that things were going smoothly and knew that there would be no waves today, so he turned around and went to Mofu to find small things for them to practice.The prohibition order is limited to the subordinate, but not herself.On the second day, Ximin's envoys entered the palace to meet him, and the five princes presented a gift list on their behalf.The emperor took the princes and the six important ministers to have a banquet with the mission, and Xi Min first sang the praises of the emperor for governing the country and Taoism, and the words were all admiration for the prosperity of Dayu and praise for the five princes, and took the opportunity to let the dance troupe perform with the wine.There is a leading dancer in the dance troupe, with a light veil covering his face, and two big eyes like grapes from the Western Regions are smart and affectionate; The waist is graceful, and under the special dance clothes made in the Western Regions, the white skin is looming.The exotic dance, hot and enthusiastic, and straightforward seduction are far from being comparable to the obscure freehand style of the Central Plains.After the dance, the emperor left the woman to serve the wine, and later, naturally, she also went to bed.The next day, he was given the name of Li and was named a talented person.The emperor is cool, and the pot is all carried by his son."
Brother is saying that the queen questioned the Fifth Highness because of this?"
Not only Xu Yuan, anyone who listens to it will be unbelievable.The emperor wants to recruit lucky people, which one can influence it?
Which one dares to be left and right?
The queen herself didn't dare to admonish directly, but blamed Chao Minghao for not taking precautions, and thanked the dance troupe in time, but let the foreign goblins bewitch the emperor and think about the obscene things all day long."
I can't say anything about cross-examination, but I'm always dissatisfied.I don't blame the queen for being annoyed, the emperor stays at Licairen for several days, as the queen of a country, she always has to speak for other concubines. ”Xu Yunxiao thought of something, and her eyebrows were clustered."
Brother and I, you can say whatever you want, don't worry."
Xu Yuan saw it at a glance."
The queen is not happy, Ying Guifei looked as usual, but I didn't expect Concubine Xian Niangniang to be calm."
Concubine Xian, the mother of the second prince."
How come my brother even knows this?"
Is my brother already so familiar with it in the palace?"
The emperor acted cheaply for the five princes, and sealed me as a royal guard, and I followed the five princes in and out a lot, and I can see some.The queen blamed His Royal Highness, but the third prince spoke out to excuse him.It was Concubine Xian, who met the Fifth Highness on the way to the Imperial Garden, and specially relieved him that he didn't have to mind anything else, as long as he did the errand assigned to him by His Majesty. ”"Concubine Xian~" Xu Yuan thought intently, but he couldn't remember any memories related to it.Probably, this is because God didn't let her interfere in too many things, gave her a chance to be reborn, and also took back the memories that had nothing to do with her and Chao Mingchen."
Just watch it secretly, don't do much, don't squeak.Now several ladies with deep backgrounds in the harem have adult princes, the queen has three highnesses, the virtuous concubine has two highnesses, Ying Guifei has seven highnesses, and the five princes are raised under the queen's name, and the other princes are young and not the prince's choice, not to mention that Licai's grade is still low, and she is a foreign woman, the emperor may not allow her to be pregnant, even if she is pregnant, it is definitely not obeyed by my clan, not the lord of the East Palace.The queen was angry, but she was afraid that it was deliberate. ”"You mean, the queen is pretending to be dissatisfied with the Fifth Highness?""
It's possible!
Didn't His Highness the Seventh have already received the Beiqiang Mission?
Now, the pressure will be on Concubine Ying and the Seventh Prince.The Fifth Highness is in front of the pearl and jade, and the Seventh Highness is the duty to do a good job, and if he doesn't do it well, it means that there is a problem with his ability. ”
