ess said, "At this age, why has she never thought of taking things out and giving them back to the master Even though I've been his daughter-in-law for so long, why didn't she tell me to take these th...Although kneeling on one knee, this is also a national etiquette, the greatest courtesy that envoys from both countries perform to the sovereign of the other country. 。Quan Qingcheng was very pleased because the emissary from Guiyue was not only polite but also only greeted him and ignored the Regent King. 。The woman in red knelt awkwardly. Although she was on one knee, her head wasn't bowed and her body wasn't leaning forward either. She looked straight at him, holding her head high and even rolling her eyes. 。Quan Qingcheng took a deep breath, silently repeated several times not to mind the woman's words, and then spoke: "Gu Yue, you have traveled far and wide, been through hardships along the way. The North Qi is cold, I wonder if you are used to it..." 。When I first ascended the throne, I had not yet had the opportunity to express my greetings to the King of Guiyue. After the end of the New Year's month, I will send an envoy to Guiyue to pay my respects to the new king. 。The envoy held a scroll in both hands and proclaimed, “The territory of Northern Qi is vast, it has truly opened our eyes.” 。Although it was cold, the Emperor took good care of everyone, so no one felt the chill. 。This is the New Emperor's congratulatory gift list, please take a look, Your Majesty. 。"Wu Fei stepped forward and took the gift list. Under the gaze of all the guests, he read it aloud..." 。The gift list was complete, and everything adhered to the etiquette of reciprocal gifts between the two nations. All the officials of Northern Qi expressed their satisfaction with a nod, and their impression of the envoys from Guiyue Kingdom also improved somewhat. 。Quan Qingcheng: “Gui Yue Xin Jun lived in my Northern Qi for many years before. Though we didn't interact much, he was still an acquaintance of mine.” 。When you return, please also bring my regards and greetings as well-wishes from an old friend. 。The envoy returning to the moon thanked the imperial grace and also stood up. 。But the young woman in red didn't rise. She also didn't continue kneeling, instead she knelt down and carefully studied the jade bricks laid out by the phoenix in the flying hall. 。The envoy returning to the moon might have felt a bit embarrassed and quickly glared at the maidservant following behind him. 。That palace maid stepped forward and said, "My Lady, it's time to get up." 。The young woman in red raised her eyes, reluctantly stood up, and said to her own envoy: “Look at the Northern Qi people, they even use jade bricks for paving the ground. Walking on them isn’t uncomfortable, it feels soft.” 。Since you've finally made the trip, don't just come for nothing. You should definitely learn something before going back. 。Your Highness finds this jade brick quite agreeable. After returning, I shall mention it to my imperial cousin; perhaps we too should use jade bricks. 。。The envoy felt even more embarrassed. 。"Your Majesty, this is my cousin from the Kingdom of Guiyue, Princess Zhaolian." 。" Though Qūngqīngcheng felt that the County Princess Zhaolián seemed off in some way after hearing the introductions, he still politely praised her: “County Princess Zhaolián is as fragrant as a flower and beautiful. Welcome to Beijī." 。"
Returning to the Moon Country, her surname was Feng. Princess Zhaolian's given name was used as her title, her birth name being Zhaofenglian!
Hearing the Emperor of Beiqi speak to her, Feng Zhaolian raised her head from where she had been kneeling and gave Quan Qingcheng a smile that captivated everyone. " 。This smile caused her to remove the red veil that covered her face. Her peerless beauty was fully revealed, astonishing everyone who witnessed it. 。 Quan Qingcheng was also stunned, his heart skipped a beat, but he finally steadied himself. 。He thought that this Gui Yue County Lord was extremely beautiful, but luckily he had grown accustomed to Wen Yan's elder sister's face and the unparalleled appearance of the Emperor Venerable over the past half month. Therefore, he had some resistance to this Zhao Lian County Lord, and it wasn't as overwhelming as other people who almost popped their eyes out. 。Feng Zhaolian was also a little surprised, after all, she knew what her face looked like. It was rare for a man to remain unmoved upon first seeing her. This emperor of Beiqi was admirable in that regard. 。But she still rolled her eyes, without reason. She just rolled her eyes out of habit, wanting to roll them at everyone except the pretty girl she met by the lake last night. 。As soon as the thought of that beautiful girl crossed his mind, Feng Zhaolian started looking for her in the great hall. 。Though he didn't move, his head turned back and forth. Finally, he found Ye Wenyan at the table where Ye Jia was eating. 。At that moment, he waved his hand and shouted, "My beauty! I'm here!" Ye Wenyan covered her face with both hands, almost performing an invisibility spell right there. 。Damn it, how did she get targeted by this Gui Yue County Lord To be called a beauty in front of so many people, and by a young girl at that...it just sounds so uncomfortable. 。Guests' eyes turned towards Ye Wenyan again, each one wondering when the Fourth Sister of the Night had become acquainted with Princess Guiyue. Everyone couldn't help but sigh that this world truly was a place where similar things gathered together and people with shared traits gravitated towards each other; those who were beautiful played together. 。
One is Ye Si, the other is Guiyue County Princess. Just looking at their appearances, any man wouldn't be able to resist them if they stood there! Fortunately, women don't hold power in this world and aren't emperors. Otherwise, if these two joined forces, I estimate they could easily conquer everything.
That's scary!Quan Qingcheng felt ignored and even looked down upon because Princess Zhaolian rolled her eyes at him, without waiting for him to return the favor, she went to talk to Sister Wenyan. How could this leave the Emperor's face However, it doesn't matter. It was Sister Wenyan who attracted the person away, he couldn't be angry with his sister no matter how much anger he felt. 。Everyone knows what the Princess of Guiyue is here for, and everyone can also see that in this first meeting, the emperor and the Princess of Guiyue don't seem to look at each other favorably. 。 However, Lady Guiyue was quite interested in Ye Sijie. At this moment, she had already gotten up and ran towards the table where the Ye family was seated. Unexpectedly, she was pulled back by their emissary and apologized to the emperor: "Lady Guiyue is a lively person, please don't mind her." 。“The visitor is a guest, how could I blame the county princess,” 。"Ugh!" Fei Zhaolian rolled her eyes again. 。This time, Quan Qingcheng caught it and immediately rolled her eyes at her. 。The two almost came to blows in a heated argument. 。At last, the attendants managed to pull the county lord down. Ye Wenyan received a pleading look from Quan Qingcheng. 。Although they had gone back and forth for several rounds, appearing evenly matched, Quan Qingcheng still felt like he had lost. 。After all, he was squinting from reading for so long, but Lady Zhao Lian didn't seem to mind at all. She merrily greeted the Fourth Prince instead. 。Fourth Prince Quan Qing had been sent to the Guiyue Kingdom as a hostage for almost ten years. He naturally knew this county princess. 。Ye Wen glanced at Quan Qingcheng, then at Quan Qinghua, and occasionally stole a look at the seal of Lian thrown by Quan Qingcheng. She helplessly touched her forehead. She felt she couldn't help Quan Qingcheng after all. After all, the county lord winked at her while rolling her eyes, so much so that Ye Wen was a little confused, even unsure if she was a man or a woman. 。Of course, it's not right for a country's ruler to be rolled his eyes at by a young lady in front of so many people. Ye Wenyan felt that someone must be able to suppress the princess or help Quan Qingcheng find back his face. 。Then she casually pulled the maid who had been standing beside her: "Do me a favor, go to Yanhuagong and find Lian Shigong, ask him to bring the pendant over for me." 。The palace maids were dumbfounded, “Where to Where to” "To the Yan Hua Palace..." 。“ Master Four Sister, you should still let me hang myself! I think hanging myself is easier than going to the Yan Hua Palace. " 。"
The old woman sighed helplessly, "Sister, it's best if I go." She glanced at the maidservant again, and after a moment's thought, said, "You come with me as well" 。The palace maid was dumbfounded. How come even the maidservants around Fourth Sister at night were so imposing They actually called themselves "old woman," making them sound just like the elderly mistress of the house. Just listening to them was frightening. 。But she still didn't dare to go, shrinking back all the time. 。"Grandma shook her head. 'Your fourth sister is praising you too highly, it all depends on whether you have that kind of fortune,'" 。“No more waiting, he turned and walked out.” 。The maidservant was stunned for a moment, glancing at Ye Wenyan and then at Ji MaMa who was almost at the door. Gritting her teeth and stamping her foot, she resolutely followed suit. 。Because there was music playing, people had to either stand very close together or speak very loudly in order to be heard. 。Moreover, Old Madam Ye was quite elderly and her hearing wasn't particularly good. So she truly couldn't hear what was said here. 。But the old madam couldn't hear, but the eldest madam did. Mu Shi lowered her voice and asked her: "Where is that girl, Zhuai'er, in Yanhuagong" Ye Wenyan nodded, "Yes, I kept her there. When the palace banquet ends and we return to the mansion, I will call her back together." 。“
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed something was off about Mu Shi's gaze. She suddenly realized—she had been tricked again!
She immediately blushed and buried her face in Mu Shi's arm, "Mother doesn't do this!"
"Mu Shi chuckled, "You are already a woman of marriageable age, how can you still act like a child How old are you"This question sounded very scholarly. To outsiders, it seemed like a mother was teasing her daughter. However, Ye Wen Yan knew that this wasn't teasing. She was genuinely asking her how old she was. 。It's not asking Sister Ye about the night, it's asking her about Ye Wenyan. 。No matter how old I am, I am always my mother's daughter, always and forever. 。"Mother raised her hand to stroke her head, "Silly child, it wasn't mother who wanted to pry into your words. Mother just cares about you " 。You do nothing, though I have my suspicions, I dare not think about it. 。My dear, if you were to live in the Dust King's Manor like your grandmother did, then your mother would truly... 。why he took you into his chambers.” 。Of course, whether it's for any reason, being a concubine is always better than being a slave. At least we wouldn't be serving tea and water all day long like us m...
