As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 378
The next day, inside and outside the palace, everyone had their own concerns.

Wan Qi Sichen's chariots and horses appeared outside the palace on time, and Qin Yi was ordered to meet them at the gate of the palace.

The carriage stopped slowly, and a man in a purple robe with dark patterns walked down from the carriage, standing with his hands behind his back, with sword eyebrows and slightly raised peach eyes, which diluted the original style a lot, and his expression was a little cold. While looking at him, he also lazily looked over.

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows, and took the lead to take a step forward, "May I ask you, are you from Nanzhao?"

"Wan Tuo Si Chen."

The man spoke lightly, his tone was calm, and he looked at Qin Yi calmly.

"I am the commander of the forbidden army, Qin Yi, and I have been ordered to welcome your lord into the palace."

Wan Teng Si Chen didn't seem to care at all, seeing the black guards standing behind him, the battle was huge, but he only brought Ming Lang with him.

"Thank you, General Qin." Wan Teng's voice was low and his facial features were distinct. Although there were some traces of time, it also had a different taste because of the precipitation of the years. .

Qin Yi leaned over slightly to signal, and looked at the man in front of him calmly. He was very similar to the man from that day, but his face was completely different.

Qin Yi walked in front, and Si Chen followed behind. He pursed his lips and asked casually, "Have we met somewhere?"

Although it was a question, a pair of eagle eyes stared closely at his eyes, with a smile that was not a smile.

It was a bit abrupt at first, but Si Chen didn't seem to care at all, and joked with a smile, "Is this gentleman so ordinary-looking?"

Qin Yi smiled lightly, and then said, "Of course not. My lord looks outstanding, and his temperament is even more impressive. Maybe I misunderstood it. Please also invite Haihan."

"It's okay." Si Chen said lightly, straightened his back, and completely ignored Qin Yi's temptation.

The small episode on the road passed quickly, outside the Sifang Hall where the foreign envoys were received.

The guard at the door was dedicated to his duties, standing at the door with a serious expression.

When Sichen and Minglang were stopped outside, Qin Yi glanced at him and said with a smile, "Please leave the sword to us for safekeeping."

Although he was smiling, his tone was clear that he could not refuse.

"Clear." Wan Tuo Sichen nodded, and ordered in a deep voice, and the man behind him handed over the sword in his hand to the guard at the side, his eyes revealing a faint coercion.

"Please!"

Qin Yi looked at the man sideways and said.

The decoration style in the Sifang Hall is different from other places in the palace, with a strong exotic style. I don’t know if it is to cater to the name of the Sifang Hall, there are at least four ethnic styles that can be seen everywhere in the hall.

"My ministers see Your Majesty! The Nanzhao Emperor's envoy has arrived."

Qin Yi spoke loudly, and Gu Jingyao sat on the throne, looking at the man who came behind him with piercing eyes.

"Wanqi Sichen has seen His Majesty." Wanqi Sichen saluted disrespectfully, looked at the majestic man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes above the throne, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked up at him without any scruples .

He is Gu Jingyao, the emperor of the Li Dynasty, and the father of that little glutinous rice dumpling?
Without waiting for Gu Jingyao to make a sound, he lazily withdrew his hand and looked at the man above him.

Qingming who followed behind him had the same loose attitude.

Qin Yi frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the attitude of the two of them, Gu Jingyao was expressionless, but his expression was gloomy, "Nanzhao Kingdom has never had any contact with our Li Dynasty, and the envoys came all the way from Nanzhao not just to appreciate our dynasty. customs, right?"

Gu Jingyao looked at his unceremonious opening, he also represented the Li Dynasty, and his majesty could not be challenged.

Wan Tuo Sichen looked over, as if he didn't expect Gu Jingyao to lose face like this, he stood up a little bit, and chuckled, "Your Majesty just joked, when it comes to customs and customs, the rivers and mountains of Nanzhao Kingdom are better than those of Li Dynasty. There are really too many wins."

Wan Tuo Sichen raised his eyebrows after finishing speaking, the pride and pride in his eyes were obvious.

"."

"That being the case, I don't know why the emperor's envoy came here? If I remember correctly, Nanzhao has a long history of avoiding the world, and there has never been a precedent for communicating with foreigners."

Gu Jingyao sat upright on it, pursed his lips and spoke, as if he was not affected by his emotions at all, just stared at him and spoke.

"That's right, but I naturally have a reason to come here." Wan Qi Sichen nodded and spoke lightly.

Seeing that he didn't say what the reason was, Gu Jingyao didn't intend to ask. Since he was the envoy of Nanzhao Kingdom, he had to be careful.

"So, why do you need the help of the royal family when the envoy sent the greeting card?" Gu Jingyao looked at him vigilantly, the man looked calm as always, and stated his purpose openly.

Si Chen chuckled when he heard the words, "The Li Dynasty is orderly under His Majesty's governance, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, the rivers are clear and the sea is magnificent. This gentleman is also yearning for it. Both countries are good."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the Sifang Hall fell silent, and even the bright face behind Si Chen was a little puzzled and dignified.

Gu Jingyao looked at him fixedly, the man still looked calm and composed, could this be his purpose?

That being the case, why bother, besides, he must have been the one who traded with Tianji Pavilion in Zuixianlou before, although his appearance has changed, his temperament is indeed difficult to change.

And he was the one who was quietly placed in the capital city, so...would he have something to do with Gu Jingcheng?
Gu Jingyao was thoughtful, and Qin Yi frowned slightly. If what he said was true, it would indeed be a good thing. After all, closing the door and closing the country is not suitable for the increasingly prosperous Li Dynasty. However, the common people are always protected by the king's army, and they are contented, well-organized and harmonious.

"Since the imperial envoy came here with sincerity, I should also show sincerity. I have already ordered someone to hold a banquet for the imperial envoy to wash away the dust. How about having a banquet while talking?"

Gu Jingyao didn't agree immediately, but he didn't refuse either. As Qin Yi thought, if the two countries open up the mutual market, it would definitely do more good than harm for Li Dynasty, but this summation is too sudden and inexplicable, so we have to observe and observe.

"Naturally, thank you, Your Majesty." Wan Qi Sichen cupped his hands and said, looking at Gu Jingyao with an indistinct smile.

Gu Jingyao frowned slightly, for some reason, he had a faint feeling, as if he was waiting for this moment.

The banquet was quickly set up, and several people moved to the side hall to eat.

Since the emperor of Nanzhao's visit to the palace was deliberately concealed, only Qin Yi accompanied him during the banquet.

"Why don't you see your queen?"

After taking his seat, Si Chen opened his mouth seemingly unintentionally, and the bright expression behind him pouring wine and serving dishes for Si Chen paused. Was the question too direct?
Sure enough, as soon as this remark came out, the surrounding air instantly cooled down, and there was a moment of silence. Gu Jingyao spoke lightly, staring at him, unable to hear his emotions, "The queen is not feeling well, the emperor Haihan."

Looking at him with vigilance in his eyes.

Wan Teng Sichen laughed lightly, "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand, I just heard that my mother is good at medicine, and I brought a unique blood ganoderma from Nanzhao. It is the most nourishing, and I can give it to my mother."
