The two black treasures of Tiangui's escaped concubine

Chapter 86
"The county master—"

"Banquets are held every now and then, and every time I'm asked to go, I'm tired of it. What to do there, except gossip with those people, the rest of the time, eat, every time I eat, I have to invite If a doctor takes medicine, the gain outweighs the gain." Li Jiyao couldn't stop complaining.

Madam Gong glanced at her age, and said softly, "The princess is not young anymore. I think, both the princess and the son-in-law hope to start looking for a future husband for the princess."

Li Jiyao blinked her eyelids: "Madam, at that time, how did you help my sister-in-law find a future husband?"

The princess speaks without any scruples.Madam Gong covered the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly.Sanqi hurriedly grabbed his master.Li Jiyao regretted it, and sincerely apologized: "Ma'am, the princess spoke recklessly. However, I also miss the emperor's wife. I miss her very much. Last time I went to the palace to meet Yan Shangshu. I felt that she and the emperor's wife were very similar. Well, she has a good heart, and more importantly, she is as smart as the emperor's wife. Sun Ruyu and Lin Murong wanted to eat her to death, but she easily resolved them back, which made me feel completely relieved."

Mrs. Gong listened quietly to her narration, and the faces of Hua Xiyan's mother and son seemed to reappear in front of her eyes.After Li Jiyao finished speaking, Mrs. Gong mentioned: "Didn't the princess say she wanted that painting last time? I had someone reframe it, and I wanted Linglong to be sent to the princess mansion. Since the princess came here today, I will ask Linglong to take it out of the house so that the Princess can take it back."

"That painting? Is it the self-portrait of the emperor's wife?" Li Jiyao was so excited that his eyes lit up.

Mrs. Gong smiled and nodded.After a while, Linglong took out a scroll from the room.Li Jiyao took it with both hands, stroked it carefully, and said: "I want to hide it, and my brother must not find it, otherwise, he will snatch it away."

These words made Mrs. Gong feel slightly bitter while raising the corners of her lips.

In the palace, Hua Xiyan gave Lu Cui some medicine, and seeing that the patient's fever had basically subsided, she let out a sigh of relief.

Li Shunde came to her and said that the Holy Majesty wanted her to go there.

In the past few days, I don't know what the dog emperor suddenly changed his mind, he stopped making things difficult for her every day, and she was able to heal Lu Cui's wound quietly in the room.Now, he suddenly called her over again, not knowing why.

After tidying up his clothes and walking with Li Shunde, he asked on the way, "Eunuch Li, where are we going?"

"The Yunxiang Hall where the Holy Majesty receives foreign envoys."

The envoys led by King Xian entered the Tanglin capital, but they did not receive a particularly grand welcome.According to Li Zimo's frugal style, foreign missions, if they are not big countries, come to meet the saint for the subordinate countries, they will only provide simple entertainment.King Xian's carriage entered the east gate, and there were no people and troops lined up to welcome them on both sides of the road, only a Minister of Rites sent by Li Zimo as a reception and guide.The motorcade and horses of more than a hundred people mixed into the streets in the capital of Tangling. The people of Dongling, because they had seen too many missions that came to pay homage to their emperor, did not pay much attention to the small-scale missions like King Xian.

Such an encounter made the Xian Wang, who came to Dongling full of ambitions, pour cold water on his heart, sweating in his palms, and felt the arduous task of this mission, which he might not have imagined.

Speaking of which, Bai Changguo went to Dongling Miansheng several times a year.Usually, the ministers appointed by the emperor of Baichang Kingdom led a delegation.Therefore, it is not always possible to see the emperor himself.When Emperor Qingxiang ascended the throne, he visited Dongling once. It is said that the meeting left an unbearable afterimage in Emperor Qingxiang's heart. After that, Emperor Qingxiang avoided meeting directly with the royal family of Tangling.As Prince Xian, this is the first time in his life that he went to Dongling to meet the emperor of Dongling.

I only remember that many years ago, when he was still young, he followed his master who taught him martial arts, and tried to practice at a world fairy sword conference. At the conference, Li Zimo was only a few years older than him, and he wore a white robe with a sense of immortality. Dressed in the body, when he appeared as the distinguished guest of the conference, the beautiful young man in fluttering white clothes amazed everyone.

The virtuous king got off the sedan chair, straightened his jade crown, and with firm eyes, was led by the concierge to Yunxiang Hall.

The Yunxiang Hall is not the largest hall in the Tangling Kingdom's court. When the emperor of the Dongling Kingdom went to court and received the same foreign guests and officials, the Daming Hall was opened.The Yunxiang Hall only exists as an auxiliary hall, which is relatively small, and is usually used by Li Zimo to meet some envoys in private.In King Xian's view, Li Zimo's willingness to meet him in person is already a big treat for him, and it is the first step to his success.

Stepping into the hall, the bright jade surface and the palace pillars surrounded by majestic nine dragons all show the aura of prosperity of the Tangling people.

King Xian and the four or five ministers of Baichang Kingdom he brought knelt down, waiting for a series of footsteps to appear from the left door.

"Excuse me."

Immediately following a low-pitched Longwei, the Xian King and other kneeling people slowly got up, raised their eyes, and saw the tall man in front of him, dressed in plain dragon robes but with a threatening posture, like a mountain pressing down on everyone's heads.

The virtuous king knelt down on one knee and said, "Ruan Hao, the crown prince of Baichang Kingdom, has an audience with the Emperor of Dongling Kingdom. This time, he came to face the saint and brought Baichang's tribute to Dongling. There are 120 boxes in total, and several silver gemstones. The list has been handed over. Minister of Rites of Tanglin."

After the virtuous king finished speaking, he waited quietly for Li Zimo to speak.

Li Zimo, however, was silent for a long time, sizing him up with only a pair of Wang Tan ink eyes, with a hint of sarcasm on the corners of his lips: "Besides paying tribute to me, does the virtuous king have anything else to say to me?"

Now that the layer of paper had been peeled off, the Xian Wang said solemnly, "This king came this time and brought with him the agreement that the emperor of Baichang Kingdom wanted to sign with Dongling."

"Does your country want to officially get rid of Tanglin's status as a subordinate country?"

"Yes."

With a sneer, the corners of the beautiful and cool lips flew out: "Where does Bai Changguo have the confidence to negotiate with me? Collusion with Xizhen?"

The king's palms were sweating again: "The emperor misunderstood. The Baichang country made this move because of the will of the people of Baichang. It has nothing to do with Xizhen and other countries. Baichang will not become an appendage of any big country. "

"You say it's what the people want? More than four-fifths of the people on the land of Baichang Kingdom belong to the blood of the people of Dongling Kingdom. Speaking of which, the real foreigners should be your royal family of Baichang Kingdom."

The virtuous king frowned: "The emperor's words are different. The people of Baichang country support the royal family, and Baichang country is peaceful and peaceful."

"Before I went to Baichang for a tour, I thought that Baichang was peaceful and peaceful. The virtuous king assisted Emperor Qingxiang in governing the country. It is true that the virtuous king's reputation spread far and wide and was expected by the people. Unfortunately, what I learned , but it’s not the case at all.” His sharp eyes fell on the beauty of the Xian Wang, and when he remembered all the rumors about the mother and child, he flew to Hua Zhengke who was kneeling behind the Xian Wang, “The Xian Wang divorced a woman ,right?"

King Xian was taken aback. Although Hua Xiyan became the laughing stock of the old and young in the city of Baichang, the matter of his suspension of Hua Xiyan would not spread abroad, let alone the ears of the Emperor Dongling.Could it be that Emperor Dongling has been to the imperial capital of Baichang Kingdom?
