hermit meets king

Xu Yanzhuo gave a wry smile, his voice gradually became weaker and less confident, "Who would have thought that he would care so much..."

If Qi Wenxiu still doesn't understand by now, then he is really a fool, or in fact, since he was in Mingshan last time, he has been vaguely aware of it, but he has been pretending that he doesn't know anything, so no one will stab him. Break this layer of window paper.

Originally, I just wanted to try my best to gain his trust, but I didn't expect that I would owe a debt of favor.

Qi Wenxiu also gave a wry smile, held the wine glass on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.I'm sorry for you, but what's wrong with the entire Qi family?

Qi Wenxiu called his servants to help Xu Yanzhuo back to his room to rest.Then he left the palace. It is best not to pierce this layer of paper forever, so that he will feel less guilty.

At the end of spring, the envoys of Sikou State came to Beijing.All the officials greeted them grandly.

In Tai'an Prince's Mansion, Si Koulin was wearing a grand white dress, and combed his long hair that was loose like splashed ink with a hairpin. The young man grew up to be tall and straight like green bamboo.

Xu Sheng looked at the young man, with his current attire, there was a sense of pride that a young man had grown up with at the beginning.

After all, when he came to his mansion, he was such a reserved and introverted person, pale and thin like a malnourished child.It is still a childish temperament, but it has grown a lot.

"My lord, this dress is a bit too big." Si Koulin, wearing a large and luxurious dress, came to Xu Sheng, opened his hands, and showed him his figure. The clothes were too big and heavy, and they were in the way.

"I have to go to the palace today, the envoy of Si Kou Kingdom is here." Xu Sheng patted the young man's head.

Si Koulin lowered his head and curled his lips. He didn't want them to come, let alone go back.It's fine here, it's fine right now.

Xu Sheng smiled inwardly and said, he still looks like this child, what's on his mind can be seen clearly on his face, and it's even clearer since he's been with him for so long. "Not only the envoys, but your brother and sister are also here."

"Why?" They didn't want to take themselves back, or something?Si Koulin didn't want to break the status quo, "I don't want to enter the palace anymore."

Xu Sheng tidied up the young man's clothes, "Not only you are going to enter the palace, but I am also going to enter the palace, and everyone will be in the palace. So, you can no longer show too much, and when encountering difficulties, just like before, Just keep your head down."

"Well, I know." Si Koulin lowered his head, thought for a while, and said hesitantly, "If they want to put me somewhere else, can you, can you keep me?"

Si Koulin knew that Xu Sheng's situation in the capital was not good, and he was embarrassing him by saying so, but he didn't want to leave here, or him.

Seeing the young man cautiously, with a pleading look on his face, Xu Sheng comforted him, "Their coming to Beijing this time should not be for your sake."

For now, placing Si Koulin here in Tai'an Palace should be the best situation for Proton's position.I think everyone will be happy to see it succeed.

"It's not for my business?" Si Koulin let go of his worries, "What was it for then?"

"Go to the palace and see, don't you know?"

At the palace feast, the emperor sat high on the top dragon seat.

Below is the crown prince wearing golden imperial clothes. The crown prince has been banned for half a year, and the ban has obviously been lifted. He is sitting in the seat of the crown prince at the moment.

Below is Xu Yanzhuo, Prince Rui, next to Concubine Ruan, and the fourth princess Xu Xue.Then there are Xu Sheng and Si Kou Lin next to him.

There are also a group of courtiers below.

For a long time, Si Kou Kingdom has been a strong enemy of Haoyuan Kingdom, and the two countries have always kept each other in check.

This is the first time for an envoy to descend to the country, so naturally the entire court attaches great importance to it, showing the superiority of his victorious country.

In the resplendent court, from the emperor to the prince and princess to all the officials in the court, they all attended grandly.From clothing to banquets, everything shows the strength of a powerful country.

Still outside the Nine Dynasty Palace, there was an eunuch reporting, "The envoy of Sikou Kingdom has arrived!"

Layer by layer, layer by layer, the voice echoed in Haoyuan Kingdom's palace, "The envoy of Sikou Kingdom has arrived!"

Si Kou Yi led Si Kou Kuo Ku, Si Kou Jing Lian and three other courtiers through the palace gates to the Golden Luan Hall.

Seeing such a grand scene, he did not kneel down, but put his hands on his chest and saluted, "The envoys of the Sikou Kingdom have an audience with the Holy Majesty."

The emperor sat on the throne, majestic yet kind, "No courtesy. The envoy's visit this time is to do the good of the two countries and the blessing of the world."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the envoys said in unison.

They were led into the specially prepared positions by a special person, and the beautiful maids poured wine and tea for them, and everyone sat down.

Si Kou Yi took a good position and looked at the people around the court hall. He had only seen them in portraits before, but now he saw real people.

Eyes turned to the top again, the sage on the dragon seat is obviously in his twilight years, so the princes below are ready to move, "Si Kouguo came this time, and presented a thousand good horses and hundreds of rare animal furs to the sage. , ten thousand taels of gold, to show that the two countries have nothing to do."

"Okay!" The emperor on the dragon throne stroked his beard. The two countries have been fighting for many years. He is the emperor who made the Si Kou Kingdom surrender. At this moment, the glory of the meritorious deeds fills Sacred Heart, "Forging the friendship between the two countries."

Si Kou Yi saw that the emperor was very happy, the wrinkles on his face were wrinkled into smile lines, so he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Si Kou Guo wishes to form a good relationship with Hao Yuan Guo forever."

Si Kou Jinglian standing next to her got up and was blessed.

Si Kou Yi continued, "There is a happy event in the world that I would like to facilitate this time. The third princess of Si Kou Kingdom will be married next year, and she is willing to marry Qin and Jin with the prince of your country."

Si Kou Jinglian was wearing a light veil halfway across her face, dressed in exotic and grand attire, with profound features but extremely gorgeous and bright, tall and slender, wearing a long veil, and said with a smile, "Jinglian has no talent, and I would like to dance a Guoping Chang'an dance for you." Pray for the prosperity of the world."

"Okay." Everyone was intoxicated by the beautiful appearance of this foreign land, and was finally awakened by the emperor's greeting.He also clapped his hands in agreement, "Okay..."

Si Kou Jinglian strolled through the lotus flowers and walked to the seat, and asked the waiter next to him for a long sword and a long sleeve of water color.

The left hand is wrapped with a water-colored long sleeve, and the right hand holds a beautiful long sword.

The moment the drum beat and the music played, the aura of the woman standing in the center changed instantly.

Domineering and fierce but also charming and soft, one strong and one soft, combined together just right, with one wave, the sharp sword in his hand showed a chilling demeanor, and when he turned around, the water sleeves on his arms brought out a melodious soft wind.

The beautiful and slender waist is powerful and soft, twisting and dancing beautifully.

Every movement and stillness are a combination of softness and rigidity, and there are steps that touch people's hearts between movements and stillness.

The beating of the drums became louder and louder, and the rhythm became faster and faster. Everyone's minds were attracted by her beautiful dancing posture. A piece of dance music is the grand and chilling wind of the world, and a piece of dance music is the melodious sound of raising children on the river bank. stable...

After dancing to a song, everyone was immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

When Si Kou Jinglian came forward, he was blessed and said in a manly voice, "Jinglian has made a fool of herself."

Everyone came to their senses and applauded.

I didn't expect that there would be such wonderful people in this frontier barbarian country. This kind of beauty is different from the beauty in the Central Plains. Most of the beauty of the Central Plains women is as delicate as a weak willow supporting the wind, and as beautiful as a spring flower, which makes people feel pity.

But the three princesses are as beautiful as birds in the sky, with beautiful feathers and a windward posture.

Maybe all the ministers in the court felt that they wanted to marry a woman from this barbarian country before, and they married for the sake of power, so now I am afraid that everyone is scrambling to be the first to be extremely happy.

"It's really extraordinary." The emperor admired it very much, and said with satisfaction: "The third princess of the Sikou Kingdom is really the most wonderful person in the world. I want to see which of my sons is so lucky." After speaking, he looked down and sat down. princes.

The prince got up quickly, bowed his hands and saluted, "Father, I feel that Princess Jinglian's every movement is like seeing a fairy in the sky. They all feel that this dance exists in the sky, and this person is more than a fairy." As he spoke, he turned to Jinglian The direction of the princess smiled softly.

"Okay. This dance exists in the sky, and this place is the Temple of Heaven." The emperor said happily.

Jing Lian blessed the prince, "Jing Lian thanked the prince for his compliment."

On the position below the crown prince, Xu Yanzhuo, who had been silent all this time, was pushed by Concubine Ruan, "This person can only be your princess."

Surprisingly, Xu Yanzhuo acted as if he hadn't seen or heard Ruan Guifei's reminder, and was drinking there by himself.

Si Koulin was also anxious and worried about this matter.

The young man looked up at the man next to him, and nothing could be seen from his face. Has he ever thought about marrying such an excellent sister?

After Jing Lian returned to her seat, Si Kouyi was a little surprised.

Originally thought that at least the three princes should pay attention to Jing Lian, but found that only the prince kept his eyes on Jing Lian frequently.

But the other two princes couldn't see anything, and they didn't take the initiative to show their favor.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be, whether it's because of Jing Lian's performance and beauty, or because of the advantage of her marriage with Si Kou Guo, they should be able to actively show their favor.

That's all for the King Tai'an who has never been favored, but how could King Rui, who has been fighting with the prince, be indifferent?

Now only the prince is so active.Si Kou Yi got up and raised his wine glass, and said in the direction of the emperor, "This time, the four princes and princesses of Si Kou Kingdom will toast the Holy Majesty when they come to Beijing."

These words were a bit strange, Si Kou Kuoku and Si Kou Jinglian both stood up, holding wine glasses in their hands.

The hall fell silent.

Si Koulin was pushed by Xu Sheng's hand under the table before he was signaled that the four princes and princesses included himself.

Only then did he get up in a hurry, lowered his head and held the wine glass, and secretly glanced at Xu Sheng, but unfortunately, he didn't look at him, and didn't give any hints about what he should do.I had to lower my head and wait silently.

Si Kou Yi glanced at Si Kou Lin who was still so cowardly, then ignored him, raised his glass, "Toast..."

Si Koulin hurriedly followed the three of them to drink the wine in the cup in one gulp.
