I am Da Song

Chapter 605

In the Queen's Renming Palace, the warm room is like spring.Although it is cold winter, the flowers on the flower stand are still blooming brightly, and the flowers and green grass fill the room with vitality.

The queen is 48 years old this year, but she looks really young, especially when she is wearing a vermilion skirt and standing with Roujia Diji, she looks like a pair of sisters.

Her youthful appearance is very common in later generations.Many young women who still have charm are indeed full of charm if they are well maintained, and they can't tell their age at all.

But at the moment, the queen's maintenance is not easy.

Zhao Huan looked at Zhu Lian in the gold hairpin red dress, and joked, "Qing's outfit reminds me of the Empress of Dongzhou, Wu Zetian should have been such an elegant martial artist back then, right?"

It stands to reason that if ordinary people heard this, they might think that the emperor was secretly beating the queen.

But Zhu Lian didn't take it to heart at all. She basically didn't ask about political affairs, and she rarely even asked about the affairs of the royal consortium. Her elegant temperament fully contained all the edges and corners of the emperor.

The two of them have never been cold-faced for many years. The only time they were unhappy was when King Qin and Zhao Chen were rewarded. Both of them felt that King Qin was too little.

When Zhao Huan took down Constantinople and gave it to Qin, the relationship between the two was as sweet as before, and even improved.

So Zhu Lian said with a happy smile: "That Roujia is quite discerning, this is a gift from Roujia."

"Come on, get up and take a look around."

Zhu Lian stood up very gently, stretched out the big sleeves with both arms, and spun around three times on the spot. The corners of the vermilion skirt fluttered, and the gold thread on the cuffs and the hem of the skirt formed a circle.And the beauty in the middle is fluttering with blue hair, still radiant.

Zhao Huan smiled and praised: "Qing is still as bright and charming as when we first met."

Zhu Lian sat down beside him with his fingers on his forehead, and said, "It's still getting old. I feel a little dizzy after three rounds. I heard that Shiyi can dance the whirling dance, and she is very beautiful."

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "Qing is different from her. She is famous for her beauty and talent, but Qing wants to be respected by her mother."

Zhu Lian rubbed his forehead, but he was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Officials just know how to talk, isn't this just the sweet talk that people often say?"

"How can it be called sweet talk? It is sincere." As Zhao Huan stretched out his hand, Tang Wan next to him immediately put a brocade box in his hand

"Look, I brought you a gift today."

With a gentle smile on the corner of Zhu Lian's mouth, he immediately took the brocade box and opened it with his own hands.Inside is a garland made of ivy petals.

The queen likes flowers and plants very much, and sometimes even takes care of them herself. This wreath keeps the flowers and leaves fresh in winter, which makes the queen like it very much.

Zhu Lian asked with a smile: "The official family has a heart, and they can still weave such a bunch of garlands this winter."

Zhao Huan said: "This garland is really not made up now, it is a tribute from last year's tribute. The treasury officials saw its strangeness and sent it to me."

Zhu Lian picked up the wreath in surprise and asked, "Last year's tribute? But why are these flowers so bright?"

"I was also amazed for a while. I thought it was a small official who specially exchanged the tribute in order to offer auspiciousness. But after strict verification, it is indeed a tribute from a small country."

"The Tai Academy inspected the classics. In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in the west of Qusou country, there is a country of praying for death. This kind of tribute has been paid."

"Its folk customs are pure and harmonious, and the life expectancy is three hundred years old. There is a forest of longevity trees, a tree with a thousand years old, and the sun and the moon hide it. If you rest under this tree, you will not die or get sick. Maybe someone from across the sea and mountains will come to meet his country and return. Those who bear its leaves will live forever."

"Now I come to the kings of all countries, search for the rare treasures of all countries, and the rare treasures of the four directions, and gather them in the palace."

This myth is very powerful. Everyone in the country of praying for death can live to be three hundred years old, and if they return with a leaf in their arms, they will be immortal for life.

Zhao Huan said: "It may be exaggerated that a single leaf can live forever. The Taiyuan Institute speculates that this kind of flower and leaf may have the effect of prolonging life. All the old people around him died before the person carrying the leaf, and they did not see their old age. So I have given this tribute to you."

In the Han Dynasty, when the average life expectancy was more than 20 years old, if a person lived to be 60 years old, he could experience the funeral of three generations around him.

It is no exaggeration to have such a myth.

Joyfully, Zhu Lian took off the jade hairpin on his head, put the garland on his head, showed it left and right, and asked Zhao Huan, "Does it look good?"

"Don't have a style."

Zhu Lian supported the wreath, admired it in the mirror for a moment, then turned to look at Zhao Huan, and said seriously: "Guardian, do you have something to tell me today?"

Zhao Huan coughed and said, "No, I just came to see Qing."

"Official family, we have been husband and wife for more than 30 years, and I still can't guess your thoughts? You are not a delicate person, and you suddenly praised your beauty and gave you a wreath. There must be something to say."

Zhao Huan felt a little guilty, and immediately explained: "Actually, it's not an important matter. It's about Roujia's marriage. I think it's necessary to discuss it with Qing."

Zhu Lian smiled, and said: "Roujia's marriage, that's very good. The two of us really spoiled her a bit. This girl in her 20s is still unmarried."

"Others are at her age, and their children are all born."

Zhao Huan said: "It's not that exaggerated. You see Tang Wan's age is not much different from hers, so there is no movement."

Only then did Zhu Lian feel relieved, and asked with a smile, "Which matchmaker did the official family find?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Lian's face changed slightly, he looked at Zhao Huan seriously, and asked: "The official family, don't they want to marry Rou Jia far away?"

"This... it is true that several vassal kings have invited Princess Shang."

Roujia Diji's beauty can naturally attract the covetousness of countless vassal kings, regardless of her status as the eldest princess, her incomparable net worth and dowry alone are enough to drive all men crazy.

In this world, basically any man who marries her saves 300 years of struggle.

You can lie down overnight, and your wealth will be too much to spend.Even if she is a monarch of a country, wealth is not worth mentioning in front of her.

So even if you marry a princess, you can no longer have other princesses, these kings are willing.

What's more, Princess Roujia has perfectly inherited her mother's excellent lineage, she looks beautiful and her skin is as creamy as fat.

Coupled with her incomparably rich wealth, noble status, and peerless aura, it is impossible for any man not to be tempted.

If it wasn't for the fear of causing misunderstandings, and the fear of being considered as insulting to the royal family by the Song Dynasty, some elderly kings and monarchs would also come forward to invite Princess Shang.

Zhu Lian fully understood that these feudal lords had no feelings for Rou Jia at all, and immediately said: "Officials, you made an oath not to be a minister, not to pay tribute, and not to make peace."
