Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 858: Banquet!here!

"The emperor's son has nothing to do with it. I think my emperor's marriage to that bastard is also a blessing he has cultivated for many lifetimes."

"I dare not agree with my father's words. Looking at the young talents in the Tang Dynasty, only my husband is worthy of my ministers. My father knows Xu Tian's abilities better than my ministers, whether it is in military affairs or political affairs. In dealing with people, in terms of ability and integrity, there are few people in the court who can compare with him, otherwise the emperor would not make him the young teacher of the prince's younger brother, the minister is blessed by heaven, it is very fortunate to find such a husband!"

Li Shimin sighed secretly when he heard the words of the emperor's son, Princess Xiangcheng.

"Women do not stay in college!"

In "Yeting Palace", the father, daughter, siblings chat about happy things, talk about the deceased mother, the eldest grandson, and the queen, and they are sad and fall into the memory...

When Qin Wenyuan returned home from the palace, he found Earl Ator and told him that the imperial court wanted to send the princess Luanjia and the imperial guards to "Qizhou" to meet the princess with a guard of honor.

The fellow smiled and spoke to the Earl.

"Brother Earl, this time I will trouble my brother to go to Qizhou to welcome the princess and express my apology on my behalf. After the princess and her party arrive in Chang'an City, how about I host a banquet with them to wash away the dust?"

"My lord, you don't need to be polite. Ator has been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time. It is thanks to the lord's care that he can understand the many civilizations of the Tang Dynasty with peace of mind. This time the princess came here, and the lord took care of him, so that the court of the Tang Dynasty treated him so courteously. Ator would not say thank you." In other words, you should regard the prince as your elder brother, but in the future, if there is something Ator can do, the prince will do as you please."

This foreign prince is also a man of gratitude!

The so-called; "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and a long time sees people's hearts!"

Earl Ator saw Qin Wenyuan's behavior in the "Qi Wangfu" mansion, and he took care of himself and his subordinates, so that when he wandered around Chang'an City, he would send his own guards to protect him, and he also took care of the government offices in various places to treat himself as a foreigner His respectful attitude, and his ability to do all kinds of big and small things in place, attracted the prince of Buddha Luji to regard him as a confidant long ago.

According to the time agreed with Qin Wenyuan, the guard of honor sent by Chai Lingwu, Minister of Honglu Temple, came to the mansion of "King of Qi" to pick up Earl Ator and went to "Qizhou" to welcome the princess.

Qin Wenyuan received the deputy secretary of the Honglu Temple who was welcoming the princess, and dozens of soldiers of the imperial army in full armor. He entrusted Earl Ator to take care of him on the way, and then allocated ten personal guards to accompany him to protect him.

Prince Qi led the crowd to send a guard of honor with banners out of Chang'an City, and the court officials and soldiers of the imperial army who went to "Qizhou" to welcome the princess felt that the prince attached great importance to Ator, a foreigner. Asking the earl made the foreign prince feel very honorable.

A large group of people drove into the territory of "Qizhou" surrounded by vehicles. A group of elite cavalry from the Qin family army greeted them and escorted them to the palace of "Licheng". Earl Athol and others are invited to enter the palace.

In the palace, Qin Changqing, the virtuous king of the Tang Dynasty, sat on the throne and said to the court officials who were going to greet the princess.

"You are exhausted from the journey, so you can rest in Licheng today. Tomorrow, the king will send cavalry to escort you to Dengzhou military port. When you return to Chang'an, the king will host a banquet for the foreign princess and her party."

The deputy secretary of Honglu Temple received the order from the prince and thanked the prince for his kindness.

In the early morning of the next day, hundreds of cavalry soldiers of the Qin Family Army were neat and tidy, all wearing armor and holding uniform spears.

The Imperial Imperial Army was stationed there, but there was loud drumming, and the elite cavalry of the Qin Army armed with spears, rode tall horses to clear the way, followed by the imperial guard of honor, chariots, and imperial soldiers and horses.

Earl Ator and the officials of the imperial court started slowly behind the cavalry of the Xu army and before the cars guarded by the imperial army, which attracted many people in "Licheng" to stop and watch and applaud loudly.

……

In the golden month of the 17th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjian led a long-distance voyage fleet, and it took nearly a year to return. When they came to the "Dengzhou" military port, several warships roared with cannons, but they told the shore navy to prepare to meet the fleet. meaning.

On the shore, Qin Shilu, the governor of the "Dengzhou" navy, had received the prince's military order early. At this time, he chatted happily with the officials of the court who greeted the princess and Earl Ator on the temporary wooden platform at the dock of the ship in the military port. The sound of cannons and the loud report of the sentinels, knowing that the fleet was about to enter the port, ordered the navy to beat the drums and sound the horn.

As Zhang Zhongjian's flagship appeared on the surface of the sea, many ships at the military port greeted him and surrounded the fleet, causing thousands of sails to flutter on the sea, creating a magnificent scene.

The towing boat made the large ship dock at the deep water berth, and several medium-sized ships picked up Zhang Zhongjian and others from the warship and sent them to the shore.

Qin Shilu led the crowd to meet him, but among the many people who disembarked with Zhang Zhongjian at the same time, the beautiful scenery came into view.

This beautiful scenery is not the princess of the Buddha Kingdom, the Countess Catherine, or that one. How can a bearded, dark-skinned man like Zhang Zhongjian be called a scenery? It is almost called "Black Whirlwind".

Ladies and gentlemen, you can see that Princess Foyingji is really beautiful, her wheat-colored skin is radiant in the sun, her blue eyes are as deep as the sea, and her delicate face has a straight nose bridge. The small mouth with a slightly playful smile makes people look approachable, but also has an indefeasible nobility.

The princess is wearing a strapless dress with tight leather armor, a matchlock spear and a long sword hanging from her waist, her well-proportioned long legs are wearing knee-high black leather boots, and her long golden hair is blown by the sea breeze.

"Tut, tut!"

Tang people have never seen such delicate and sexy foreign women, but most of them dare not stare at them as rude, and quickly look away, not daring to offend.

This is also the etiquette and civilization of the Tang people, do not despise evil.

This kind of etiquette actually attracted several maids with plump figures beside the princess to laugh coquettishly.

"Your Highness, this man from Tang Dynasty is too embarrassed to see me waiting!"

"Don't make fun of others. Each country has its own customs and etiquette. Don't forget the purpose of our coming here. Before meeting Prince Qi and other nobles of the Tang Dynasty, you should be more restrained with this princess, so as not to use the domestic flirtatious charmers. strength."

All the maids were ordered by the princess to restrain their bold gazes at the man.

Qin Shilu met Zhang Zhongjian and the princess, and led many people to the stage to preside over the welcome ceremony for the return from the long voyage, and asked the person in charge of the "Ocean Chamber of Commerce" to organize ships and manpower unloading.

This little fatty Lu Qingyun came back this time, but it was very different from the last time. He was no longer as fat as before, but he had become a strong man. There were so many more when I came back, and I don't know how this kid can stand up surrounded by so many sexy beauties. Could it be that this kid learned the secrets of courting girls overseas.

This guy talked casually with Princess Catherine, and kept talking beside the princess.

"Your Highness, Xiaosheng, I have to remind you not to provoke my brother-in-law with her beauty. My sister-in-laws are not easy to get along with, and there are leading generals with strong martial arts..."

Before the guy finished speaking, the princess smiled and said with her eyes bent into crescent moons.

"Okay! This princess is worrying that she has no opponent to compete with. I want to see how virtuous your brother-in-law is in front of women. He can win many women as wives."

While the two were talking, Earl Athor had already greeted her, and said to the princess with open arms.

"Welcome to the Tang Dynasty, Miss Huang!"

Brother and sister hugging, this foreign etiquette has always attracted many officials of the Tang Dynasty to look on and be rude, coughing to remind the two of them to pay attention to the difference between men and women.

The princess heard a lot of coughing, and her eyes were confused and puzzled, but it was Earl Ator explaining the customs and etiquette of Tang Dynasty men and women not being close to each other.

"Fun, interesting! The princess loves this place."

The Deputy Minister of Honglu Temple met the princess and read out the emperor's will for the princess of Foyingji Kingdom to welcome her as a guest in the Tang Dynasty. During this trip, Qin Wenyuan, who was going to meet, was very curious about the power of the prince in the Tang Dynasty.

After the matter in the military port is over, Zhang Zhongjian will naturally go to the "Xuanyuan" to report to his sister that he is safe, and at the same time deliver gifts to all nieces, grandnieces and grandnieces. All the minions on the island waited for him to return to the island so that everyone would be rewarded.

The brigade rested in the Governor's Yamen in "Dengzhou".

That night!Xu Shilu held a banquet in the Yamen, and many officials and family members of "Dengzhou" city participated. Princess Catherine's exotic beauty once again surprised many Tang officials, princes, ladies and young ladies at the banquet.

Qin Shilu was originally a banquet for the landlord's benefit, but he unexpectedly attracted many sons and daughters. Seeing Catherine's beauty, Lu Qingyun was surrounded by foreign beauties, and he wanted to go overseas to find beauty.

The "Xuanyuan" Qin Mansion held a family banquet today for Princess Catherine and the others as a farewell party, because the princess would be heading to "Chang'an" city after a night's rest here.

Qin Changqing and other elders in the mansion sat upright, and there were several round tables in the hall without dividing their seats. This is the usual style of family banquets in the Qin mansion.

Princess Foyingji, Earl Ator and other officials of the court are the hosts and guests, so naturally the reception should not be too casual.

Qin Zhong, the old butler of the mansion, invited Princess Catherine and other officials of the court to sit next to Prince Qin Changqing, but unexpectedly, the princess looked at the flower hall separated by a screen, and said that there were many wives and ladies playing.

"Your Highness, may I sit with my wife and ladies?"

Hearing the princess babbling, Qin Changqing and the others don't know what it means. On the main seat, the elders of the Mo family, the head of the Lu family, Li Kuang and others are all dumbfounded. You look at me, I look at you, but Zhang Zhongjian just smiles and doesn't say a word, presumably He understood what the princess said.

Fortunately, Lu Qingyun was here, got up and translated the princess's words with the elders, Qin Changqing laughed "haha".

"But it turned out to be the intention, so why not, princess, please let Qingyun accompany you, so as to facilitate communication."

When Lu Qingyun invited the princess to the flower hall, Qin Changqing spoke to the court officials.

"Today, my king will hold a family banquet to welcome you adults. You don't have to be restrained. My king wishes you all a smooth trip tomorrow."

The officials of the court did not expect that the great Tang virtuous king in his hands would be so approachable. They all had a good impression and gratitude for the Qin family's family style, and they toasted at the wine table to thank the prince for his kindness.

Earl Artor can speak the Tang language well now, and he also raised his glass to thank the prince for his kindness to the princess of Folangji Kingdom. Xu Changqing, who had seen him before, was a little surprised by what this guy said.

"This foreign boy has learned how to speak like me now, yes, yes! Were you with my son in Chang'an City?"

The earl confirmed that Qin Changqing knew that the relationship between the foreign earl and his son must be quite deep. He thought what a wicked son his son was, but he was willing to live with him in the "king's mansion". Let's see how high you are.

The men here are drinking and chatting...

But it is said that Lu Qingyun led Princess Catherine into the flower hall, and first made the princess meet Qin Wenyuan's mother, Qiuniang, who had already returned from Chang'an City to the "Xuanyuan" Chai Mansion, the eldest princess Li Xiuning of the Tang Dynasty, the Holy Maiden of Lishan Qingxia, her mother, Mrs. Lu, etc. Elder, after meeting Princess Catherine at the ceremony, Qiuniang smiled and said to the princess.

"What a handsome foreign princess, she must have endured a lot of hardships when she came to Tang Dynasty so far away. Today is a good day to rest."

However, Li Xiuning had seen many foreign men and women in the Tang court, so she was not surprised by this matter, and said softly.

"But my mother-in-law didn't know that this royal princess is not afraid of hard work, but she is afraid that she will not be free in the palace all day long. The Buddha's machine kingdom can send this princess to the Tang Dynasty. I think this princess is very much loved by her father. She is doing what she wants. See the world."

Although Princess Catherine did not understand the language of the two, she felt the warmth from the kind faces of the two, and the manners of the ladies sitting in the seat were more restrained and noble than those of the royal family and nobles in the Buddha Kingdom. , making people feel more cordial.

After Lu Qingyun translated the words of the two wives to the princess, Catherine bowed before giving the noble ceremony, but because this foreign woman regardless of her status, she was very happy to hear someone praise her beauty.

After meeting the elders, Lu Qingyun introduced the princess to meet his elder sister Lu Yueer and Qin Wenyuan's wife.

Princess Catherine looked at Qi Wang Zhengfei Lu Yueer, and saw that she had a dignified appearance, but there was a sly look on her face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. She knew that this lady must be unruly and difficult to get along with. Introducing Chunxiang and Pinger, the two concubines of King Qi, to her was far beyond Princess Catherine's understanding.

Thinking about the Buddha, the king, the ministers and the ministers are all monogamous. Although there are many mistresses, they are not recognized in the legal theory.

It seems that polygamy is allowed in the customs of the Tang Dynasty, but it is wonderful. The prince Qi who has never met is such a man. Hearing what my brother said, there are still several wives in the palace of Chang'an City. Could it be that the prince is as strong as iron? , is actually a royal number girl who is tireless, and this princess looks forward to meeting such a strong man.

Seeing that the princess seemed to be out of her body and not here, Lu Yueer said angrily.

"Princess, why don't you sit and talk with me, and go to Chang'an City tomorrow, how about I accompany the princess?"
