Chapter 254 The Luxury of the Ancients
Hearing this, Xiaoman didn't take it seriously, and glanced at Qian Jiujiu: "I'm just curious about what the Chinese people look like, what do you see them doing?"
Qian Jiujiu also felt amused when he heard this: "Then what's so curious about it, aren't the people of Qianguo the same as the people of Dazhou! They all have one nose and two eyes, and they can't be three-headed and six-armed."
"The only difference is that all the people in Qianguo are poisonous, just like the Miaojiang we knew in our previous life, and the service is similar to that there."
As soon as he mentioned this, Xiaoman immediately understood: "Since this is the case, there is nothing to be curious about, but I always feel that these Chinese people are a little strange."
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "I agree with this point, but they will always know the purpose of these people. The future will be long. Besides, we are the ones hiding behind the scenes."
"After tomorrow, Mu Yexing will take care of everything."
Xiaoman also thought of this, the two sisters looked at each other and smiled, not talking too much, but doing what they were doing, and the night passed by, and the Gan people were very law-abiding.
Nothing happened until the next day, at the dawn of the court, when the personal eunuch next to the emperor took out the imperial decree and prepared to read it out, ennobling Mu Yexing as the crown prince.
I saw a guard outside entering the hall: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Qian Guo is here."
All the ministers and the emperor were stupefied, the envoy of Qian Guo? Is it the group of dry Chinese yesterday? Then why didn't you come yesterday? Come today?
And it was chosen at this time, just when the crown prince was about to be canonized again. Although the content of the imperial decree has not been read yet, everyone knows the latest news.
And now I almost understood that the content of the imperial decree was nothing more than to appoint Mu Yexing as the crown prince, but now it was interrupted. Thinking of this, the faces of all the ministers became a little subtle.
The emperor frowned, but those who should come will come, if the other party is really prepared, then it is definitely impossible to avoid it.
Thinking of this, the emperor could only say: "Xuan."
After the harem, the Empress and Concubine Qing were already ready to accompany the Emperor to visit the Emperor's grandson at Prince Xiao's Mansion when the Emperor came to court in the morning, but the Emperor did not come even when the original time had come.
Only then did the queen find someone to inquire about the affairs of the upper court, but on the court side, after the emperor's order came out, the eunuch's sharp voice sounded.
"The envoy of Xuanqian Kingdom has an audience!"
The leader of the Qian Kingdom, named He Lu Qingqi, was about 40 years old this year, and when he came to the court, he just stood and looked at the emperor: "King Ming of the Qian Kingdom, He Lu Qingqi has met His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor."
The King Ming of the Qian Kingdom is also a famous figure. The current situation of the Qian Kingdom is also due to half of the credit of the King Ming of the Qian Kingdom. He is brave and good at fighting at this time.
The status within the Qian Kingdom is similar to that of the Great Zhou God of War, Mu Yexiao, so as the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom, how could he not have heard of the title of King Ming of the Qian Kingdom.
So when he knew that the person who came was King Ming of Qian Kingdom, the emperor was still stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted: "His Royal Highness King Ming, let him be flat."
After He Lu Qingqi stood up, he looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the letter of credence for my visit to Qianguo this time, please take a look at it, Your Majesty."
Speaking of King Ming directly presented the letter of credence, the little eunuch next to the emperor directly took the letter of credence, and then put it in front of the emperor's eyes, the emperor glanced at King Ming.
Then I took the letter of credence and read it for a while. The emperor only felt that his head was one head and two big ones, because of King Ming in front of him.
They actually came to look for relatives, and the one they were looking for was King Ming's younger sister named He Luqing. In this big world, how could it be possible to find someone who had been lost for more than thirty years?
As long as you find it, you will be able to gain the friendship of the Qian country. Now that the three countries are at the same level, it is very important who can win the friendship of the Qian country.
Thinking of this, the emperor coughed twice: "I already know the purpose of King Ming's visit, and I will try my best to help you. Just in time, you came at the right time."
"It just happens to be able to participate in the canonization ceremony of the prince of the country."
When King Ming heard this, he frowned, but he quickly replied: "Then congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince, who is His Highness the Crown Prince?"
After the emperor heard this, he laughed loudly: "Please wait a moment, Prince Ming."
After finishing speaking, the emperor glanced at the eunuch beside him: "Let's announce the decree."
The eunuch finally seized the opportunity, and opened the imperial decree: "Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that the fifth prince, Mu Yexing, be appointed as the crown prince. He will be in the East Palace, to honor the rule of thousands of years, and to tie the hearts of the world... "
A long list of imperial edicts came down, but the ministers only heard one important point, that is, the fifth prince, Mu Yexing, had become the prince of the Great Zhou at this time.
At the moment when the imperial decree was finished, all the ministers knelt on the ground: "I see His Royal Highness, Your Highness is a thousand years old."
Mu Yexing glanced at the ministers: "Get up."
The other King Ming glanced at Mu Yexing, who looked very similar to the portrait they received, and looked at Mu Yexing with some doubts: "Are you the prince Mu Yexing?"
"Then, what about your Great Zhou God of War, Lord Muye Xiaoxiao? Xiao Wang almost mistook you for His Royal Highness Xiaowang just now."
Mu Yexing raised his eyebrows, and glanced at King Ming: "It turns out that King Ming has heard about my brother, but it's a pity that my brother is at the border now!"
Of course King Ming knew about Mu Yexiao's stay at the border, but it was naturally useful to bring it up at this time: "Oh, really? Then Dazhou canonization of the crown prince is such an important matter."
"Will His Royal Highness King Xiao come back?"
This question caught the emperor and the others. Yes, for such a big matter as the crown prince canonization, it seems impossible that King Xiao will not come back. Looking at Mu Yexing is a bit embarrassing.
The emperor coughed twice: "Ming Wang misunderstood, on the day of canonization, Xiao Wang will rush back from the border. How could he not come back for such a big event!"
It's just that the emperor was a little worried when he said this. The matter at the border now was reported by Mu Yexing last time. Apart from taking back a city, it seems that the situation is not very good.
Would it be too tiring for Mu Yexiao to come back and leave after attending the canonization ceremony? The emperor suddenly thought of another thing, that is, Qian Jiujiu is going to the border.
If this is the case, let Mu Yexiao come back and take Qian Jiujiu with him, presumably both Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao agree, after thinking about this.
The emperor finally found a sliver of confidence, so he can talk to Qian Jiujiu about this matter when he goes to Prince Xiao's mansion later, and after King Ming got the answer.
I was not in a hurry, and looked at the emperor: "The emperor of Zhou, we are doing the affairs of the country, please trouble you, Xiao Wang will leave first."
The emperor still needs to be concerned at this time: "Since you are my guests from Dazhou, I will ask someone to arrange a post station, and make sure to entertain the envoys of the Kingdom of Qian."
Speaking of which, the emperor took a look at Kang Wenhai, Kang Wenhai was a talent who had just emerged when the princess chose her husband last time, and of course it was cultivated by Mu Yexiao secretly.
"Kang Aiqing, I will entrust you with the task of entertaining Qian Guo's envoy."
Kang Wenhai fell to the ground all of a sudden: "I will finish it seriously, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
After finishing speaking, Kang Wenhai left with the envoys of Qian Guo, and the emperor looked at the ministers, and said: "The Ministry of Rites, the crown prince's canonization ceremony, preparations are half a month later, you must complete the preparations."
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites knelt down on the ground all of a sudden: "I obey the order."
The emperor saw that there was nothing to do, so he glanced at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch immediately stood up knowingly: "If there is a book to play, there is no book to retreat."
Of course it was without merit, so the emperor withdrew from the court. Amidst the sound of the eunuchs retreating from the court, the emperor finally came to the harem.
It's just that the harem has never been allowed to interfere in politics, so I can only pretend not to know, just looking at the emperor: "Your Majesty, can we go? It seems that it is almost lunch time."
"Wait until Jiu'er thinks we won't go, I'm afraid she will eat up all this delicious food."
When the emperor heard the queen's words, he immediately thought that according to Qian Jiujiu's pissing nature, this matter could really happen. Thinking of this, he immediately said it.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to change clothes and set off immediately."
Concubine Qing and the Empress looked at each other and smiled, then went in together to serve the emperor and changed the dragon robes, and soon put on the clothes for traveling in miniature clothes, the three of them brought some servants with them.
Headed towards Prince Xiao's Mansion, at this time Prince Xiao's Mansion, naturally someone sent over what happened in the court hall in the morning, but Qian Jiujiu didn't say anything.
Just waved the eunuch who came to report the letter to leave, Xiaoman glanced at Qian Jiujiu: "Sister, since the emperor's grandson has something to do, I'm afraid he won't come."
Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes: "That's not necessarily the case, if the emperor doesn't come, Imperial Concubine Qing will definitely come, forget it, let's set the meal first."
"It will arrive in a while, I guess."
Xiao Man pouted, thinking, forget it, anyway, the ancients were always extravagant, even if there were not so many people dining, there would be so many dishes on the princess's table.
Glancing at Qian Jiujiu: "Sister, I found out that you have been cured as a princess, and you have also learned the luxury of the ancients."
When Qian Jiujiu heard it, his body paused, and then he looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Am I extravagant?"
Xiaoman nodded: "Actually, it's okay. Compared with the real ancients, you are not so extravagant, but your meals are also very good."
Qian Jiujiu twitched her lips. In fact, every time she ate, she only ate half of the dishes. Unless it was a dish she particularly liked, she would eat all of it.
This does not hinder other maids and servants from eating, and Qian Jiujiu knows that it will still be a kind of reward to let the servants eat the leftover dishes of the masters.
