[Red House] That natural stay

Goryeo envoys to Beijing, whether it is a big deal or a small thing.In short, during those three days of preparation time, Mo Jue thought he did nothing, but followed Xia Xia, watching him directing the staff of the Ministry of Rites to go around busy.Mo Jue only spoke when he was asked occasionally.

Even so, Mo Jue was a little baffled by the occasional unknown light flashing in Xia Tian's eyes.

Three days passed quickly, and the Goryeo envoys carried wooden boxes one by one into Beijing. Although they looked a little old-fashioned and shabby, the eyes of the people along the way were obviously not on this.

The tall sedan chair carried by sixteen strong men was covered with layers of pink gauze.On the periphery of the sedan chair are four dancing women in different clothes, covered with light veils, with enchanting figures.All eyes are attracted to the past.

Inside the sedan chair, people can only vaguely see a hazy figure, but it is undeniable that this is even more intriguing.

"Hey? Have you heard? The one in the sedan chair is Princess Goryeo. This time I'm here for a marriage ceremony." Someone in the crowd whispered.

"Marriage? Is it to be the emperor's concubine?"

"Since she is a princess, she must be young. I guess she must marry the prince or some other prince!"

Such remarks spread quickly, and of course, the inner courtyard of the palace had already received the news.

"Princess Gaoli?" Emperor Shenghe slightly raised his eyebrows, but he didn't take it too seriously.It seems that Goryeo is a little sincere, even sending the only princess here.

After wandering through the imperial city for a while, he has already reached the gate of the palace.

The Goryeo envoy saw from a distance that only a few people were waiting there.The thing that had been worrying in his heart finally happened, but he was relieved immediately. Fortunately, the king agreed to let the princess accompany him this time, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.Thinking of the alluring appearance of her own princess, the courage muster up in her heart.

"Master Messenger." The aged Minister of Rites bowed his hands to the dismounted Goryeo envoy.

The other party didn't care about these, after all, they came to plead guilty this time, so naturally they didn't dare to expect a good face from the other party.

"My lord." Wei Wei's pronunciation was a bit awkward, but fortunately, the enunciation was still clear.

After the envoy had a few conversations with the Minister of Rites, the group walked towards the palace.Standing one step behind the Minister of Rites, Fu Yijun glanced calmly at the group of people who had already got off the sedan chair and walked towards the posthouse after asking for instructions. The one surrounded in the middle was the Princess Goryeo, right?

A group of people entered the palace gate, and after walking for a while, they were greeted by Mo Jue behind Prince Xia Xia on the high stairs.Of course, there are some irrelevant officials.There is still momentum.

The envoy obviously did enough homework before coming, and he knelt down and saluted after a long distance.

"The next official sees His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness is a thousand years old."

"Special envoy please get up quickly." The timing was just right, Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Afterwards, the group went to the Diplomatic Academy, a place dedicated to receiving foreign envoys.After some courteous greetings, Xia Tian conveyed the meaning of Emperor Sheng He, the distinguished guests who came from afar let them take a good tour of the capital, and choose a good and auspicious day to meet them again.

How could the envoys of Goryeo refuse to agree, even if they knew that this was the official power given by Emperor Shenghe, so what?My group of people are like fish on a chopping board, they can only be slaughtered.Who told them to rely on the southern country?

After that, Xia Tian took Mo Jue and left lightly.The people from the Ministry of Rites were left to entertain them.The Diplomatic Academy is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, so this important task is naturally entrusted to Fu Yijun, the successor of the Minister of Rites.

Fu Yijun: Hehe.

Afterwards, the Koryo envoy took people around the capital for a few days, and saw the strength and prosperity of the southern kingdom from this small microcosm of the capital, and the fear in his heart grew day by day.Coupled with some news inquired in the capital these days, it has further confirmed the idea of ​​maintaining relations with the southern country.Glad to bring the princess again.

A few days later, someone from the Ministry of Rites came to tell them.Emperor Sheng He decided to meet them three days later and make them ready.

As soon as the messenger left, the Goryeo envoy turned around and entered a room.

"Princess." She bowed to the young woman sitting on the couch.

"Get up." The voice was playful, with the crispness of a girl and the unique femininity of a woman.In short, you can tell that she is a beauty just by hearing her voice.

"Yes." The Korean envoy sat down beside him. "Princess, you must have seen the prosperity and strength of the Southern Kingdom. If you want our country to be safe, please stay in the Southern Kingdom well. Seek more benefits for the tribe."

This time, at first they really wanted to dedicate Princess Goryeo to Emperor Shenghe or a certain prince, and even thought about the prince.But according to the current situation, it is the most correct decision to stay with the emperor of the Southern Kingdom.

"My princess knows, no man can easily escape my palm." The confident words naturally have the capital of her self-confidence.

"That's good. The emperor of the Southern Kingdom will summon us in three days. Please prepare well, Your Highness the Princess."

"Well. This princess has her own measure, so go down." Princess Gaoli closed her eyes.

"Yes."

On this day, Mo Jue sat in an inconspicuous corner with Fu Qing and the others.At the top is Emperor Shenghe, and on both sides are the Queen and Concubine Li.Further down, on the left and right sides are Prince Xia and Fourth Prince Xia Rong.Then there are the important officials of the court according to their ranks.From the arrangement of the seats, it can be seen that in Emperor Shenghe's heart, the status of the fourth prince is no lower than that of the crown prince.

Jia Zheng, who was publicly dragged out of the court last time, is also listed. According to his position, he is not eligible to attend this banquet.Perhaps it was due to the past achievements of the Jia family, or perhaps it was Jia Zheng who replaced his eldest brother as the heir of the Jia family.In short, he still came, although it was also in an inconspicuous corner.

Everyone understands that the four major families have slowly rotted from the root.It still looks majestic though.Emperor Shenghe may also be really old, and he doesn't want to make any big moves during his reign.But obviously, as long as the new emperor succeeds to the throne, none of the four major families can escape.Only they themselves are still immersed in the prosperity of the past, while the outsiders choose to stand on the sidelines.

Everyone had decent smiles on their faces, chatted in low voices, and most of them toasted and drank.What a scene where the monarch and his ministers are in harmony.

Mo Jue concentrated on eating all kinds of food on the table. In such an occasion, no one would pay attention to eating.But there are also different types. The young man is in a secluded place, surrounded by people with similar official positions, and everyone has no intention of talking.Either looking helplessly at the big shots in front of you trying to find out some news, or drinking alone with your head covered.

"Xiao Jue, is it delicious?" Fu Qing couldn't help laughing seeing the young man's small body, but he had already eaten more than half of the food on his table.What a cute junior.

"It's okay." Hearing Fu Qing's question, Mo Jue stopped his chopsticks and replied seriously.Indeed, in such a large banquet, the focus of people will not be on the food.

"Since it's normal, I'll come to Fu's house another day. Let the cook cook you something you like, and your grandpa Fu often talks about you." Fu Qing laughed softly.

Mo Jue nodded. He really hadn't seen Grandpa Fu for a while.He stayed in the Hanlin Academy during the day, and was taken to Juxian Tower by Mo Yu when he returned home.Said that he seems to have lost weight, so he should make up for it.So I was a little bit reluctant to leave.

Satisfied, Fu Qing brought the untouched dishes from her table to the boy's small table, and then continued to watch the dancers dance as if nothing had happened.

Not long after, there was a burst of foreign vocal music that had never been heard outside the hall.The gazes of the crowd cast out reflexively.

Emperor Shenghe was also in high spirits, remembering what the Koryo envoy said just now, the birth of their only princess was so overwhelming...
