Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 170 When the envoy arrives, Wanqing promotes her to a princess and protects her from the dragon. Everyone follows the imperial edict and enters the palace.

"What's going on! You're in such a panic!" Princess Shoukang scolded her servant, looking at her unruly servant.

"Reporting to the princess, the emperor issued an imperial edict, saying that the envoy from Dali Kingdom has arrived. He will summon all the ministers to hold a banquet to welcome him." The man reported respectfully.

Hearing this, everyone present looked at Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing also looked at Zhao Mu immediately. Zhao Mu then spread his hands and said that he didn't know what was going on.

Because according to the previous agreement with Duan Zhengchun, Zhao Mu took Mu Wanqing back to the capital first. When things were almost done, he sent someone to Dali to deliver a message to inform Dali. However, he did not expect that Dali did not wait for him. He came without permission to deliver the message.

Seeing the reactions of Zhao Mu and the others, King Dongping and Princess Shoukang both sneered.

Then Princess Shoukang replied: "Go and inform the father-in-law who delivered the edict, saying that the prince of Shang Palace has recently lost his son. The prince and I are too sad and it is not appropriate to receive foreign envoys."

At this time, King Dongping stood up and said in a weird voice: "Since he is the envoy of Dali Kingdom, it is reasonable for my brother and sister to go and see him. Oh, by the way! My brother is just a marquis, and he has no official title, so I am afraid he is not qualified to go to the palace. Mr. Mian receives the envoy. But you and I are brothers, so let me go to see the Dali envoy for you. When we come back, we can convey to our younger brother and sister-in-law that the Dali envoy misses you."

Hearing King Dongping's sinister tone, Mu Wanqing really wanted to beat him. If it weren't for the wrong occasion and the fact that he was Zhao Mu's eldest brother, she would have beaten him directly.

But at this time, a disciple of Prince Chai's Mansion said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the official who came here said that the Emperor specially invited the Marquis Dai and Princess Zhaohua of Dali to go. No other people were mentioned."

Hearing this, Zhao Yong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He then asked: "Didn't the officer who delivered the order ask me to go with him?"

A disciple of Prince Chai's Mansion said: "Reporting to Prince Dongping, the officer who delivered the order only said that he would like to treat the Marquis and Princess Zhaohua, but did not mention anyone else. Moreover, the driver who came to greet him was already waiting in front of the Prince's Mansion."

Princess Dongping glared at her husband when she heard this, and then cursed: "If you fail to succeed and fail, you will be embarrassed!"

Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Mu, now he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. Then he didn't dare to look at Zhao Mu and Mu Wanqing anymore. He was afraid that Zhao Mu would laugh at him.

However, Zhao Mu and Mu Wanqing are not so bored. They are both wondering what is going on in Dali Country and why it is different from what they promised.

Moreover, Mu Wanqing did not realize for a moment who this "Princess Zhaohua" was.

Although it was inconsistent with his plan, Zhao Mu still said calmly: "Wan'er, since the emperor has summoned and the envoys from Dali have arrived, let's go first. You may not have seen your family for a long time, no. Do you know who is serving as the envoy this time?”

Then Zhao Mu said to everyone: "Your Highness, since the emperor has summoned my concubine, please allow me to say goodbye first!" After saying that, Zhao Mu saluted Princess Shoukang and her family, and then took Mu Wanqing and Ah Zhu followed the disciples to the main hall.

It happened so suddenly that the other people hadn't reacted yet.

Zhao Lan looked at Mu Wanqing and murmured: "I didn't expect that she is really the princess of Dali. Xiao Mu didn't lie." At this time, Princess Chai corrected: "Not the princess, she is the princess. To be summoned by the emperor, It seems that this matter cannot be false. And judging from the look on the girl's face, she may not even know that she has been promoted to a princess. The Dali envoy is here, most likely for the marriage of the two of them. "

After Zhao Mu left, everyone had different expressions.

Zhao Lan was a bit prouder. Although the marriage he introduced did not work out, Zhao Mu seemed to have a better future. From now on, all I have to do is establish a good relationship with my younger brother, and wait for Zhao Mu's mother-in-law, Zhao Ji, to pay her a courtesy visit once she returns to Beijing. Then I will have a backer in the future.

Princess Zhongxiao's face was a little uncertain. Although she was not so angry now, she was not completely calm either.

Zhao Yong and Zhao Jing, on the other hand, looked unhappy. The two brothers and sisters felt very uncomfortable when they heard that Zhao Mu spent 500,000 taels of silver to buy a house. Now Zhao Mu was about to marry the princess of Dali Kingdom, and was even summoned by the emperor. This is really hard for them to accept.

And Princess Dongping now looks down even more on her useless husband. Because as the eldest son, Zhao Yong has never seen the emperor in his life. Even if he inherited the title, it would only be an imperial edict issued by the emperor. Although Zhao Mu held a humble position, he not only had to go to the palace to meet the emperor, but also attended the banquet to receive the Dali envoy. She hated her husband's incompetence even more.

As for Princess Shoukang, although she was in a bad mood after being criticized by A'Zhu and Mu Wanqing, she didn't care. It doesn't matter who Zhao Mu marries to her, and she doesn't really care. But judging from the fact that Zhao Mu can express condolences to her son, no matter what happens to Zhao Mu in the future, Prince Chai's Mansion will have one more friend and one more connection.

Zhao Mu and others came to the door and saw a spacious carriage parked there. The carriage was surrounded by guards.

These people are all dressed in brocade and black robes, wearing gauze hats on their heads, and carry two knives on their waists. Some even had golden lion masks on their faces.

A'Zhu looked at these people and asked in a low voice: "Ms. sir, who are these people?"

Zhao Mu replied: "Conglongwei, the closest attendants to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. They are generally responsible for guarding important places such as the Tianlao and the inner court. Although there are not many of them, only a few hundred people, if each of them is In the Jianghu, they are all top-notch masters. Among them, the eight commanders of "Heaven and Earth are black and yellow, and the universe is primitive" are the masters among masters. If the eight commanders are in the Jianghu, their strength is not inferior to that of the leader of the faction. But I am just I heard my father talk about them, they rarely walk in the world, and today is the first time I see them."

Zhao Mu carefully counted the number of Conglong Guards. This time, there were more than 20 Conglong Guards who came to escort them. Moreover, four of them are small leaders wearing golden lion masks. Those who can become small commanders have higher martial arts skills than ordinary Dragon Guards.

Looking at the battle in front of him and the big car in front of him, Zhao Mu couldn't help but be vigilant. Because he didn't know whether these people were sent by the emperor to "escort" him or to "escort" him.

Although Zhao Mu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the little emperor's gourd, he knew that these medicines from Longwei were all for him.

At this time, one of the Conglong Guards said: "Master Hou, princess, please get in the car and drive!"

Facing Conglong Wei's urging, the three of them had already boarded the carriage without waiting for Zhao Mu to think. Then the carriage started and drove slowly towards the palace. All the dragon guards were on the side.

The officials or family members who came to express their condolences at Prince Shang's Mansion had never seen such a scene before. For a while, some were worried and some were envious.

However, seeing that Cong Longwei personally came to take Zhao Mu into the palace, no one here cared about the funeral in Prince Chai's Mansion. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Mu again.
