female concubine

"Wei Qing, Bachelor Wei?"

The woman's voice made the King of Chu turn his head in panic, "How did the girl know about me?"

"Just now you said you were the queen's retainer. I heard people tell about you. On the day of the queen's wedding, the eldest prince greeted me personally and saw you beside the carriage."

The woman approached the king of Chu, imitating the makeup of the Han people, her eyes were full of charm, and her gestures were so seductive that the prostitutes in Goulan Washer in Tokyo were not as good. The king of Chu took a breath and subconsciously took two steps back , "The lower official has seen Mrs. Wuzang."

The woman stood still, smiling all over her face, "Bachelor Wei is so smart."

"It is rumored that the wife of the famous General Yeli is the most beautiful woman in Liugu Tubo in Liangzhou. It is not surprising that I saw it today."

"Being able to be a scholar in the body of an eunuch is indeed a smart person. I don't know what Wei Xueshi was looking for just now?"

"What I'm looking for is naturally something useful."

Mrs. Wuzang sized up the King of Chu, wearing a crimson robe with a belt around his waist, "It's obviously a man's official robe, but I feel that a bachelor looks like a woman, and I don't know why he wears a mask?"

The king of Chu made a face of embarrassment, "My lady just said that the lower officials are eunuchs. As for this mask," the king of Chu touched the soldier's mask attached to the side of his face, "it's the queen who is afraid of being scared because of her ugly appearance. It is only given to the ministers by the king."

"Oh?" The Wuzang family took a step closer to him, "I heard that the former king followed the example of the Eastern Dynasty in using eunuchs in the palace, but only used Han people in the Great Xia. I thought it was just a rumor. After all, we in Liangzhou are far away from the capital. A country man who has never seen the world, "

The Queen of Chu took a step back, clasped his fists and saluted, "The next official is Han."

"The thing Wei Xueshi was looking for must be very important. I just saw the scholar rolled it up in a hurry..." Mrs. Wuzang raised his hand and rolled his eyes and smiled: "It seems like a map. If I take this What will happen if you tell the general or Wei Mumo's order?"

King Chu raised his head, "What does Madam want?"

Mrs. Wuzang put his hand up, "I'm not interested in those government affairs."

King Chu raised his brows, "The lady's interest is..."

"A good-looking person." Mrs. Wuzang leaned closer and said with a smile, "Next time, Scholar Wei must remember that to cover up, you must cover up everything."

A faint fragrance came to the nostrils, causing the King of Chu to take a deep breath again, thinking how could the original wife of an important minister be so frivolous, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my wife."

"If you don't reveal it, how will I know if it's true or not? Wei Xueshi is so awkward, doesn't it mean that this face is more important than life?"

The hesitant person slowly raised his hand to take off the mask, two shallow scars were printed on his face, he lowered his head and said, "Didn't the officer lie to Madam?"

Mrs. Wu Zang's eyes trembled slightly, "It's really a pity for this face. Women's sex harms the country, and men's sex is not a disaster for the country and the people. No wonder the queen keeps you by her side."

"Madame misunderstood."

Wu Zang thought that King Chu was worried, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a member of the party and I don't love Daxia that much. My father married me to the son of the party noble because of Wu Zang, that's the one just now, uncle. He died on the battlefield for the party, but in the end he only ended up with a crime of contempt for military discipline."

Although Xixia is small, its interior will not be much more peaceful than Wei Song, but now no matter how Xixia fights, it has nothing to do with the King of Chu. What she is thinking about now is how to escape from here, "..."

"Who's in there?"

Mrs. Wuzang smiled, "I've seen Wei Mumo's Ning Ling."

"General Yeli's wife?" Wei Mu Shan Danxi looked down coldly, "Why doesn't Mrs. Yeli stay in the mansion and come to the Yamen for a while? Hasn't he taught the rules?"

"Oh, Mo Ningling is really stingy, I'm a woman, can't I come to visit because I'm eager for my husband?"

Wei Mu Shanxi snorted, looked at the King of Chu, and walked in, "Wei Qing came in, I have something to tell you."

Mrs. Wuzang thoughtfully said: "Mining Ling should have something important to do, so I won't hinder you here." He walked to the side of the King of Chu and said in a low voice: "Liangzhou is originally from the Song Dynasty, and the bachelor took off his mask. The face is very familiar."

"There are no wonders in the world, and there are not a few similar people. Even though they are similar, they are different."

Mrs. Wuzang lowered his head and smiled, "It's a pity, I don't like scholars."

The words shameless and shameless are not considered insulting when applied to this married woman. The King of Chu just squinted his eyes and smiled apologetically.

"Crossing the boundary?" Miss Wuzang looked sideways at the King of Chu, "There is no boundary in this world. The so-called boundary is just what the world has set for itself in their hearts. be safe and sound."

"Based on Madam's words, the lower officials will carefully keep their heads."

"Then," Mrs. Wuzang hid her smile, "I look forward to seeing you again."

After she left, the king of Chu breathed a sigh of relief, "Liugu Tubo Wuzang clan..." squinting at the place where the woman left, he couldn't help but shudder. The husband of Wuzang clan is the youngest general in this generation. She has already made her mark, but because she is an enemy of Wei Mu's family, she did not follow the Song Dynasty this time, but married the daughter of a wealthy Liangzhou family during this time.

If this woman confessed her, I don't know how much trouble it will cause, "I have to leave Xixia as soon as possible."

-------------------------------

"Meet Privy Secretary Wei Mu."

"Han Ling asked you to come?"

King Chu nodded, "Yes."

"Is she doing well in the palace?"

The King of Chu stared at Wei Mu Shanxi coldly, "The Privy Councilor also cares about your daughter's life?"

Wei Mu Shanxi's face changed drastically, and he reprimanded: "What do people in the countryside know!"

"The lower officials don't understand, but do the privy officials really understand?" The King of Chu approached, "Trying to manipulate the monarch to control the political power as a foreign relative, and defeating the Song Dynasty will not be able to halve the strength of the privy officials. The reason why he dare not You are moved because the kings are renounced, but don’t forget that the lord of Great Xia is named Li, a child will not always be a child, and no one can escape old illness.”

Wei Mu Shanxi narrowed his eyes, "Who are you?"

"If the official says that the official is actually Wei Song's secret work, how will the Privy Council deal with the official?"

Wei Mu Shanxi stroked his thick beard with his hands, "If it were the old me, I would kill him."

The king of Chu lowered his head slightly, "But today is not what it used to be. The privy secretary is loyal to the king, but the king does not necessarily have the same heart and trust. Therefore, the privy secretary married his daughter into the clan to strengthen the family's honor. The servants are here to pass the message for the queen. The queen said no. Forget that I am the daughter of Wei Mu's family, and I can let the officials convey whatever I have to say in the future."

"Go back and tell the queen, and say that the old minister knows, and I will not let her down and be wronged."

"Old General Wei Mu, before I return to the palace, I still want to advise you. In this world, people's hearts are irreversible. What should I use to fulfill my ambitions? I think there is only one ruthless word. If there is a little bit missing, it will not be enough to fulfill it. Instead, it will face a thousand feet." In the abyss, let's put it to death and then live. What is life without fear of death? The official words have been brought, so I leave."

Wei Mu Shanxi put his hands on the table and thought for a long time. Not long after the king of Chu left, an attendant came in, "Mining Ling, this bachelor named Wei seems to be following the king."

Wei Mu Shanxi raised his thick eyebrows, "I thought it was Han Ling's willful mischief that allowed this border dweller to follow me, but now it seems that someone deliberately arranged it. The late king was seriously ill and there were many affairs in the court. Forget about this matter, what this person said today is really reasonable, but it seems like alarmist persecution."

"Forcing... Mo Ningling thinks it's the king? The king respects the Han system and also uses Han people to teach. This bachelor surnamed Wei is indeed Han."

"Your Majesty is not respecting the Han system, but wants to be equal to the Eastern Dynasty. If I can't hold back, all the kings will attack me. The King can't tolerate the powerful officials, so he married my daughter from the Weimu family and the Yeli family at the same time. The juvenile king, this technique of balance is no less than that of the previous king."

"Kemo Ningling is the king's uncle."

"Uncle?" Wei Mu Shanxi laughed at him, "Under power, only the strong are respected when killing fathers and brothers."

----------------------------------

Li Yuanhao was wearing a round-neck narrow-sleeved gown embroidered with dragons, lying sideways on the mat in the hall, and a tall, beautiful woman danced in the hall.

"The people of Wei Mu's family are so arrogant, yet the king is still accommodating, and the queen still put on a face when the king came back from the previous court, she..."

"Shut up!" Li Yuanhao grabbed the woman's wrist, which was hanging her leg, and said coldly, "You are just a concubine, how dare you provoke my relationship with the queen in the harem?"

"I dare not."

"Your Majesty." A servant approached and exchanged a glance with Li Yuanhao.

Li Yuanhao shook off the woman's hand, stood up and said, "Ye Lishi, even though the lonely king loves you, don't forget your identity. The queen is my wife and my uncle's daughter. Your last Be quiet."

After Li Yuanhao left, Ye Lishi was left slumped on the mat alone, gritted his teeth and secretly hated, "Wei Mushi, Wei Mushi, sooner or later I will replace you."

Li Yuanhao dismissed the following servants and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The eunuch next to the queen left the palace and went to the Yamen of Xingqing Mansion...to see the Privy Council."

Li Yuanhao squinted his eyes half-closed, "In the eyes of outsiders, I and the queen have the same eyebrows, but in fact, I have nothing to do with Wei Mu's family, and Wei Mu's family can't do anything to me, I just hope their family." Walking out of the palace door, "I won't let you down."

----------------------------------

In the winter of that year, the Wei Song Dynasty held a court meeting ceremony, and the monarchs and ministers of the Xixia court jointly discussed and selected envoys to the Eastern Dynasty.

The royal palace is modeled after the Sifang City in the Central Plains, facing south from the north, and the innermost palace is the inner palace, which is next to the king's residence.

The maid walked into the bedroom and saluted the woman who was dressing in the mirror, "Report to the queen, Bachelor Wei is asking to see you."

"Let her in."

The waitress raised her head in surprise, "This is your bedroom..."

"Let her in!"

The waitress bowed her head and stepped back.

A eunuch dressed as a bachelor walked in, and several maids withdrew one after another, raising their heads and wanting to retreat hesitantly.

"Scholar Wei, come over and help me see, how is my peach blossom makeup in the Central Plains?"

The person who turned around and was about to leave stood still and walked forward, "Your official thought the queen had got up."

"I don't need to go to court, even if the sun goes up and down, it has nothing to do with me." Wei Muhan Ling smeared his face with a brush while talking.

Everyone didn't expect that Princess Wei Mu, who has always been willful and reckless, would sit in front of the mirror and make up one day. King Chu stared at the person in front of the mirror and murmured unconsciously, "Wrong..."

"Wrong?" The person who painted the eyebrows was suddenly frightened and stopped, looking carefully at the mirror.

"The order is wrong."

"Ah?" Wei Muhanling turned his head, and immediately opened a book, "I also asked a few sisters according to the book from the Eastern Dynasty. There should be nothing wrong... It's just that I'm too clumsy. I can't do it myself."

The strange face made the King of Chu wake up, and then he realized that he was in Hexi, far away from Tokyo, and the person facing the mirror was just another woman. An old friend, she also likes this makeup, but she has two different habits."

"Does different people refer to the order in which the makeup is applied?"

King Chu nodded.

"It allows one person to record another person's habits and even the order in which they put on makeup. This old person must be very important to Wei Xueshi, right?"

"Is it important?" King Chu lowered his head and asked himself, "I don't know."

"But without her, I would definitely die in Qingzhou." Immediately, he handed over to Wei Muhanling, "Today the Outer Court is discussing who to send the Eastern Dynasty's envoy."

Wei Muhanling put down the rouge-smeared pen, "Have you decided on a candidate?"

The king of Chu nodded, "The son of the clan is the chief envoy, and a Sinology official who is proficient in languages ​​and scripts of various countries is the deputy envoy."

-----------------------------------

In the court hall of Xixia, Wei Mu's family and Ye Li's family each recommended candidates to argue with each other, and finally the king of Xixia personally selected the son of the clan as the envoy to the Song Dynasty, so that the two families had nothing to say and the courtiers had no objections.

In terms of power, Wei Mu's family is indeed better than Ye Li's family, but Wei Mu's family is not bold enough to monopolize power in the court, Li Yuanhao made up his mind, seeing that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are not too proud, "In addition Then choose a translator and a few people who are familiar with the etiquette system of the Central Plains and have been to Tokyo to accompany them."

"Yes."

"The Khitan people in the northeast are making a comeback, and there are Tubo in the south. This trip to the Eastern Dynasty is very important. I hope you will not disappoint the lonely king."

"Yes, Your Majesty Shengming."

-----------------------------------------

At the end of November, the preparations for the mission were completed.

In the palace, those who left the palace in the morning rushed back at the last moment when the palace gate was closed, and their black boots were still stained with dust, even if they saw her, they didn't brush it off deliberately.

"Where is Wei Xueshi so romantic and happy, but there is no one around for a whole day."

"Back to the queen, friends invite you."

"I was talking about the abilities of the bachelors. It's only been a few months since I became one with them."

"I know that the only thing I can rely on is the support of the Queen."

"You all go down, I have something to say to Wei Xueshi."

"Yes."

The King of Chu followed Wei Muhanling into the hall, clasped his fists and bowed his waist, and said, "I don't know about the queen..."

"Here is a plate of honey fried rice, which came from Tokyo City. Since the king and Wei Song negotiated peace, the trade road has been reopened. This is a gift from Daxia to the merchants who oppose Tokyo."

There is a large plate full of decocted and concentrated fruits with honey, such as peaches, apricots, plums, dates, etc., "Princess?"

"I remember that when you were talking about Tokyo City, you said that you loved it the most when you were young. It should be a thank you gift from you for saving me in front of Norishi a few days ago."

I don't know whether it was the plate of honey fried rice on the table or because of her words that made King Chu's eyes gradually turn red.

Wei Muhan was stunned, "You?"

"The minister lost his temper."

Wei Muhan sat down and sighed softly, "Sure enough, no matter how prosperous Xingqing is, it won't be able to keep you."

The King of Chu raised his head and opened his eyes and said, "What do you mean by the princess's words?"

"I recommend to the king, saying that you are familiar with the etiquette of the Central Plains, so I will let you go with them." After finishing speaking, she got up and handed a talisman to the king of Chu, "At least Ah Wei's prestige can make them feel safe at critical moments. Dare to move you."

"Although I don't know who you are, after getting along with you, I found that you are just a weak woman with the same illness as me. I'm already trapped here, how can I restrict your freedom any more."

The king of Chu held the talisman tightly, "Is there anything the princess wants, or what do you want to see?"

"What do you want?" Wei Muhanling looked around the hall and suddenly smiled, "It's not so much what I want, it's better to say that I don't want something, I don't want this post, I don't want this vanity, I don't want it There are too many things imposed on me by others."

The King of Chu raised his hand and then lowered it, "Things that are strengthened by others..."

"I let you leave because I trust you. If this will bring great disaster to Daxia, it means that I have misjudged the person, so I will admit it."

"Wei Qing will pray for the princess when he returns to the Central Plains. As long as the princess is in Daxia and is the queen of Daxia, Daxia will always be peaceful."

The author has something to say: Honey fried: candied fruit (there are a lot of candied fruit in Song Dynasty)

The king of Chu remembered the order and habits of the princess' makeup, and she knew it herself. Of course, she also liked to eat her snacks, so when she saw preserved fruits, she immediately thought of her.

The aesthetics of the people of the Song Dynasty is the opposite of that of the Tang Dynasty. There are many literati and bureaucrats. It is a bit of a romantic shadow of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is softer. Men can wear hairpins and skin care~

(In addition to Chaotang, the article on Governance will also write about some food practices of the Song Dynasty.)

Xixia didn't use much ink here (but she must have experienced a lot.) This princess is not a bad person.

Xixia imitated the Han system to settle down, and it is also a patrilineal society, but in fact there is still a bit of a matrilineal shadow. The wedding is similar to that of the Han people, and there are also dowry gifts, but it is a bit like selling a daughter. After the engagement, if the man does not marry within three years, he will be punished. .

There are many kinds of leather belts. The belts worn by Xixia officials were removed from the hanging ornaments in the Song Dynasty.

Sima Guang of the Song Dynasty recorded in Volume [-] of "Shui Shui Ji Wen": "Yuan Hao sent envoys to wear gold crowns, clothes, and 蹀躞, and to report to the festival."

Song leather belts have double tails and single tails, and the double tails are usually the belts of generals, and they are tied when wearing narrow sleeves and round collars.
