Great Tang Southern Emperor

"That's a good idea, but it will make him more conspicuous." Li Zhen smiled and said, "Why don't you all put down your visors, then there will be no problem."

"No problem." Fang Yiai was the most straightforward, and put down the visor neatly.

"Listen to Your Highness." Xue Rengui followed suit.

"Thank you two brothers." Xi Junmai was very moved, thanked him, and quickly put down his visor. After getting used to it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Du He said strangely: "I said Junmai, you are also really strange. When you passed by people in the prefecture and county to welcome you, you were quite normal, and I didn't see you nervous?"

"Nonsense, can it be the same? This time I want to see the emperor." Xi Junmai rolled his eyes and said, "It's okay to be nervous before, the worst is to make a fool of yourself, but now in front of the emperor, if you really make a fool of yourself, I am not afraid of embarrassment, offending the Holy Majesty is a felony."

"So you are worried about this." Li Zhen finally understood, and couldn't help comforting him: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the people below, father and emperor are very good, and they are very generous. If you don't believe me, you can ask them two, Mr. Wei Zhengwei He troubled my royal father every day and didn't give him any face, my royal father didn't do anything to Wei Zheng, on the contrary, he valued him more and more."

"That's right, that's right, I can testify." Du He and Fang Yi'ai nodded in assurance.

"That's different"

"What's the difference?" Li Zhen pointed to Xue Rengui and said, "You should learn from Rengui. You can see that he's not nervous. Speaking of Rengui, why aren't you nervous?"

"Who says I'm not nervous?" Xue Rengui pulled off his visor with a 'crash': "Look at the cold sweat on my face, how can I not be nervous?"

"Your Highness, I'm actually very nervous." Fang Yiai also said: "You said that I used to be a fluffy dandy, but now I have transformed into a hero. I am not used to this change, and I don't know me. How will dad treat me? Phew, I'm nervous just thinking about it."

"Fang Er, bastard, what are you talking about? After saying this, I also started to get nervous." Du He took out a fan, and fanned his face: "This is probably what His Highness said about being more timid when you are close to the country. Are you afraid to ask someone?"

"Forget it, I didn't say it." Li Zhen was silent for a moment, then retracted her head back into the carriage, but still couldn't help mocking: "Actually, you guys are thinking too much, this time the greeting is mainly for me, you are just a foil, don't pretend Passionate."

"That's nervous too."

"Yes, the more I think about it, the more nervous I get."

"I dare not think about it, I get nervous when I think about it."

"I'm going to see the emperor, I'm nervous just thinking about it."

"It's really useless." Li Zhen scolded with a smile: "According to the rules, the welcome ceremony will start ten miles away, and now we are still thirty miles away from Chang'an City, which means you still have twenty miles to prepare. In terms of emotions, you'd better pretend to be soldiers for me, and don't come out to embarrass yourself."

"It's not Your Highness, it seems to be too late." Fang Yiai's tone changed a bit: "Look at those people in front, are they officials from the Ministry of Rites?"

"Ah?" Li Zhen was shocked, and quickly poked her head out to look around. She was even more surprised in her heart: "Is it really an official from the Ministry of Rites? How could it appear so early? Could it be because we left too fast?"

"Jiaoying Thirty Miles, this is the highest standard for welcoming people." Du He was about to cry: "Uncle Li and Uncle Xu are not here, why did you give us such a high standard?"

"Eliminating the Turks, defeating Huihe, and pacifying the grasslands, based on these contributions, it is not too much to go thirty miles away." Fang Yiai counted with her fingers, but soon turned into a bitter expression: "But Uncle Li and his two made the credit. What does this have to do with us? Why do you give us such a high salary? Could it be that they are planning to kill you?"

Du He scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, this specification must be set by the emperor, can the emperor still harm His Highness?"

"What the hell is Father thinking?" Li Zhen struggled and said, "I haven't even changed my clothes yet."

"Stop, stop quickly." Upon hearing this, Li Ergou quickly stopped the car: "Your Highness, according to the rules, you have to wear formal clothes to receive them. We haven't had any contact with them yet, so you should quickly change into your clothes."

"All right, all right, hurry up." Li Zhen hurriedly said, originally thought that with his own low-key, it was considered a high standard to greet him ten miles away. He planned to change into formal clothes when he was fifteen miles away from Chang'an. He didn't expect that Li Shimin would Giving him such a high standard ended up like this.

Li Zhen was changing clothes here, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites not far away felt strange, why did they stop?So he took the initiative to come forward to salute: "Li Baiyao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was ordered by His Majesty to go out of the city for thirty miles to welcome His Royal Highness King Yue back in triumph~ I don't know why Your Highness stopped here?"

Li Ergou quickly stopped him, and replied on his behalf: "Your Highness is tired from traveling and traveling, and is changing clothes now, please wait a moment, Lord Li."

"Yes, I understand, I'm leaving." Li Baiyao thought for a while and roughly understood the reason, and quickly said: "Your Highness, please change your clothes slowly. It's still early, so I'm not in a hurry."

"Why are these clothes so difficult to wear?" With the help of several young eunuchs, Li Zhen slowly put the robe on her body: "It's really troublesome, and I don't know who designed this suit. It's time to hit a hundred big boards."

This is the reason why Li Zhen is unwilling to wear formal clothes. Apart from being uncomfortable, another reason is that it is very cumbersome to wear. If you add makeup, there is no one who can't finish the time. Fortunately, Li Zhen combed it in advance. Put it on, otherwise Li Baiyao would have to wait a little longer.

"Phew, I'm finally dressed." After tossing and tossing for a while, I finally got dressed, stood up and walked around, Li Zhen felt uncomfortable all over: "I think this outfit alone weighs seven or eight catties, who the hell?" How much? This is purely torturing people."

"" The little eunuchs covered their mouths and laughed, not daring to speak.

"Okay, let's go."

"Yes, drive." Alai (not Alai) immediately shook the reins, and the five pure white horses dragged the heavy carriage forward.

After walking a few steps, Li Baiyao came to Li Baiyao, and his voice rang again: "Li Baiyao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is ordered by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to welcome His Royal Highness King Yue to return in triumph~"

"My lord Li has worked hard. I have worked so hard for the government and the people with such a trivial effort. I feel extremely guilty." Li Zhen opened the car door with her small hand and walked out slowly (not because he didn't want to hurry, but because there were too many decorations on his clothes. , if you walk too fast, you will shake around, and if you make a sound, you will be rude).

"Your Highness has worked tirelessly for thousands of miles to conquer the Turks, attack Huihe in the north, and take the Turks as our Han land. His achievements have shocked the world. Your Highness has really worked hard. Your hard work is nothing." Li Baiyao also said respectfully: " Your Highness, it's getting late, and the guard of honor has been prepared, please move your Highness."

"Master Lao Li is here."

"Don't dare, this is what a minister should do." Li Baiyao put on a guard of honor as he said, "Please, Your Highness."

"Let's go." After Li Zhen sat back, Li Baiyao took the place of the messenger and rode a horse to lead the way.

"Your Highness, no matter how you look at it, it's not right." Fang Yiai said nervously, "This is unreasonable."

Li Zhen said calmly: "Be safe and don't be impatient, let's see which one they are playing first, just adapt to the situation."

"we can only do this."

The twenty-mile journey was soon over, and Li Baiyao came over to report: "Your Highness, there are still ten miles away from Chang'an City. The Minister of Rites, Duan, has been waiting for a long time. Your Highness, please come and see me."

Duan Lun began to salute from a distance, and shouted in his mouth: "Minister Duan Lun, minister of the Ministry of Rites, has honored His Majesty's order, and is here to welcome His Royal Highness the King of Yue to return in triumph. On behalf of the Holy Majesty, say something to Your Highness, Your Highness has worked hard."

Li Zhen got off the carriage, helped Duan Lun up, and said, "Master Shang Shu is too polite, Zhen dare not be a big gift."

Duan Lun said sincerely: "Your Highness fought for the country, and now he has made a great contribution, this gift is well deserved."

"Master Duan is very polite"

After another cumbersome etiquette, the army finally set off again, the difference is that the leading envoy changed from Li Baiyao to Duan Lun.

Chapter 226

Chapter 2 made a mess

The last ten miles were finished very quickly, and Anhua Gate was already in sight. Looking at the Chang'an City Gate with banners and flags unfurled, Li Zhen became nervous: "It's all your fault, I keep being nervous. It's all right now. I'm also infected, why are you so nervous?"

"Your Highness, we have to be reasonable." Du He felt wronged and was about to complain, but was interrupted shamelessly by Li Zhen: "If you are not afraid of being disrespectful in front of my father, you are not afraid of your ass being kicked by your father." If you break it, you can just say it."

"you are vicious."

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue has returned triumphantly, and all officials on behalf of the officials congratulate His Highness and the Great Tang." This time, it was Fang Xuanling who greeted Li Zhen, and he gave Fang Yi'ai a calm look, and then said solemnly: " Your Highness, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a while, please hurry over here, Your Highness."

"Mother Concubine!" How could Li Zhen listen to him at this time, as soon as the carriage stopped, he couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, and flew into the arms of that familiar figure.

"Your Highness." Before the ceremony was completed, Fang Xuanling wanted to call Li Zhen to stop, but Du Ruhui who was next to him hurriedly pulled him lightly, Fang Xuanling immediately came to his senses, shook his head slightly and stopped talking.

"Mother Concubine, Zhen'er misses you so much." Li Zhen didn't care about the little actions of the two of them. He was throwing himself in the arms of Concubine Yan, the only person who loved and pitied him wholeheartedly since he came to this world. cry.
