It is difficult to obey the order of the common people

Chapter 250 250. Princess Xixia
After the envoys from the Southern Qi Dynasty left Beijing, the envoys from the Western Xia Dynasty arrived very late.

Ji Shaoyuan originally thought that the Xixia envoys would come after the New Year's Eve, but unexpectedly, they arrived in Pingjing the day before the New Year's Eve.

It can be seen that they intend to take advantage of Daxing's new year to be happy.

The appearance of the Xixia people is not as handsome as that of the Southern Qi people. Relatively speaking, because of the nomadic life, the residents there, both men and women, are tall, with deep facial features and darker skin.

Secondly, their riding skills are very superb, but if there is a grassland child who can't ride a horse, he will be reduced to a joke on the grassland.

Therefore, when Xixia people came to Beijing, they were all received by Honglu Temple officials with both civil and military skills. Of course, they were accompanied by General Xiao Yue and Taishi Liu.

Needless to say, Taishi Liu, since the fall of Nalan Zhipeng, the position of prime minister has been vacant, and under the circumstances that Emperor Longtai has no intention of re-appointing the right minister, Taishi Liu, a noble third man, will fight against Cheng Ma for a long time.

After Prime Minister Ma was beaten by Emperor Longtai last time, although he seemed much quieter, Prime Minister Ma was still ready to move.

Emperor Longtai didn't want to cause trouble anymore, so he simply supported Taishi Liu and sang a stage play with Prime Minister Ma.

Grand Master Liu's nephew is the future son-in-law, and compared with Ma Cheng, he is not inferior.

Moreover, Taishi Liu is a royalist, loyal, and has no party members in the court. Emperor Longtai is more at ease with him than with Prime Minister Ma.

Grand Master Liu did his part to deal with such a major matter of state relations, and was sent to handle it with Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue's features are handsome and his appearance is extraordinary, which makes people feel happy at first sight.

A strange feature of Xixia people is that they don't like ugly people more than anyone else, they only love handsome men and beautiful women.

Needless to say about Xiao Yue's appearance, the other adults are also graceful, each with their own demeanor, which guarantees the satisfaction of the Xixia Mission.

Sure enough, a beautiful girl wearing a high plume hat was amazed, "Wow! It's so beautiful."

She speaks Mandarin which is not very fluent, it is estimated that she learned Mandarin not long ago.

The girl is still childish, but full of heroic spirit, she is quite taller than the average Daxing aristocratic girl, and she is holding a long whip in her hand. The color of the long whip is indeed a commonly used weapon.

It can be seen that this girl must be a heroic girl galloping on the grassland.

A middle-aged man in a black robe from the messenger group bowed to the girl, "Princess, the other party is General Xiao Yue."

Xiao Yue's name is like thunder.

The girl known as the Princess became even happier when she heard the words, "It turns out that it is the famous General Xiao Dawei. It really is a well-deserved reputation. This appearance is enough to reward a prime minister."

"The county master..."

The black-robed man was a little helpless. The princess is the king's niece, who has always been regarded as a treasure, and the eldest brother of the princess is also a brave general who is highly valued by the king. In terms of status and favor, the young princess can be said to be a star.

"Princess Qixia, General Xiao is a general of Daxing, not from Xixia."

Another noble girl who seemed to be on good terms with the princess whispered in her ear.

I saw that the skin of the noble girl was as white as snow, and the white fox cloak on her body made her face as snow-white as ice.

Princess Qixia shook her hands when she heard this, "Hey, I just said, don't pay too much attention to it, Guan Fangyi."

Guan Fangyi is the child of Qixia Princess's mother's family, and the two have frequent contacts.

Probably because of their similar age, Princess Qixia has a very close relationship with Guan Fangyi.

The Guan clan is one of the most powerful clans in Xixia. Princess Luo, the mother of Princess Qixia, and Guan Fangyi's mother are inextricably linked to the same clan.

Guan Fangyi's face darkened, "Princess, the princess asked me to take good care of you, don't cause trouble."

Who doesn't know that Princess Qixia has been tossing around since she was a child?Even for a noble girl like Guan Fangyi who has received riding education, it is difficult to keep up with the pace of Princess Qixia running around.

Princess Qixia was at a loss for words, and smiled sarcastically.

With the title of Princess Xin, Princess Qixia didn't dare to touch the tiger's butt.

The onlookers of the Daxing officials kept this situation in their minds. Princess Qixia and Guan Fangyi were noble people who should not be offended in the envoys on this trip.

Princess Qixia was sent to Daxing by the King of Xixia, and the drunkard's intention was not to drink.

Grand Master Liu quietly pulled Xiao Yue's sleeve, and whispered, "The princess of Xixia seems to have a tough style, not like a lady in the boudoir of Daxing."

The folk customs of Xixia itself are a little more open than those of Daxing. The boys and girls there are heroic, straightforward and neat. They were born with the grassland, and their personalities and hobbies are completely different from those of the famous ladies.

Princess Qixia is one of the strange ones. She is good at arming and doesn't like red makeup. Her kung fu has defeated countless masters of the same age.

Even if Xixia's number one expert fights against Qixia County Master, Qixia County Master will not be at a disadvantage.Having defeated so many people, Princess Qixia's reputation is naturally extraordinary.Moreover, Princess Qixia's glorious deeds are more than that. She has led her trained female soldiers and male soldiers to fight many times, winning more than losing.

Such a girl, presumably only those heroes who are waiting for one to top one, can surrender.

With a smile on his face, Xiao Yue said, "The princess is bold and full of strength. If I wasn't from Xixia, maybe I have something in common with the princess."

To be honest, Princess Qixia is so skilled, Xiao Yue really wants her to be a part of the women's barracks, but the other party is Princess Xixia, so he can only give up.

Master Liu: "..."

General Xiao's taste is quite unusual.

Resisting the impulse to be speechless, Taishi Liu had no choice but to say: "Yes, the princess is a rare female hero, Xixia has such a princess, it is really... very lucky."

Anyway, Taishi Liu can't appreciate the strength and toughness of Xixia women, he loves his wife's tenderness and poetic talent even more.

After Princess Qixia praised Xiao Yue's appearance, he then commented on the appearance of the officials received by Daxing.

The conclusion is that it is not as good-looking as Xiao Yue.

Regarding this, the officials of Honglu Temple could only smile openly, but were speechless in their hearts.

People like General Xiao, he and ordinary people are incomparable, incomparable.

Guan Fangyi quietly observed Xiao Yue who was the youngest in the crowd and stood out from the crowd.

Princess Qixia and Guan Fangyi are female relatives, and they live in a different place from other envoys. Xiao Yue and the others arranged them in the women's post house for the convenience of the two women.

The black-robed man thanked him solemnly.

The scene was harmonious and lively.

The news of the Xixia envoy's arrival in the capital quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys, and many people were gearing up, wondering if Princess Qixia and Guan Fangyi would come to get married.

If so, Princess Qixia's destination is either relatives of the clan or the children of courtiers.

Princess Qixia is such a different woman, she is ambitious and wants to take this to a higher level, but she is more interested in Guan Fangyi if she is not.

The difference between Guan Fangyi and the children of the grassland is that she is not good at riding or martial arts.

Daxing men are naturally very interested in this kind of weak-willed and supportive-style women.

In their opinion, Princess Qixia is too unfeminine, not as interesting and beautiful as Guan Fangyi.

In the harem, the Imperial Concubine and Concubine An entertained Princess Qixia and Guan Fangyi according to the order.

When Guan Fangyi was in Xixia, she was the niece of Princess Xin's family who loved her very much. After she came to Daxing, she was named the head of Yi'an County by the King of Xixia, and came to Daxing together with the head of Qixia County.

As for the purpose, God knows, you know, I know.

The imperial concubine smiled, "I don't know what the princess likes to eat, I will order someone to go to the imperial dining room to prepare some food for the princess and the county master."

Guan Fangyi spoke on behalf of Princess Qixia, "Thank you for your kindness, Imperial Concubine. The princess thinks the food is very good, so there is no need to prepare any more."

When Princess Qixia came in from the very beginning, her thoughts were restless, and she seemed to have something on her mind.

The imperial concubine did not ask any questions knowingly, but turned to look at An Guifei, and smiled slightly, "Sister, look, the princess and the county master are really beautiful people. Looking at it, I feel as if I have aged 50 years."

"That's right, we're getting old."

Concubine An and Concubine Huang Guifei sang together, holding Princess Qixia and Guan Fangyi in their arms.

Guan Fangyi was fine, she was good at observing words and demeanor, facing the flattery of imperial concubine An Guifei, she remained calm and calm.

On the other hand, Princess Qixia showed a hint of impatience in her eyes, "I heard that Princess Xiangli of your country is about to tie the knot with General Xiao, is it true or not?"

As soon as these words came out, all four were silent.

The imperial concubine frowned subconsciously, Xixia people love to judge people by their appearance, Xiao Yue is a dragon and a phoenix, it is hard to say that Princess Qixia will not be tempted.

Once this matter is related to the level of diplomatic relations between the two countries, then Xiao Yue and Ji Shaoyuan may have to say goodbye.

Concubine An didn't think as much as Concubine Huang Guifei, but she didn't look at Princess Qixia's greetings with optimism either.

It's fine if you're purely curious, but it's too bad if you want to ask.

"That's right. Princess Xiangli and General Xiao are going to get married soon. At that time, Princess Qixia can visit the wedding and see our Daxing customs and etiquette."

The imperial concubine bit down on the four words of customs and etiquette intentionally or unintentionally.

No matter how determined Princess Qixia is, she can't break up a couple who are about to get married.

Princess Qixia raised her eyebrows at this, "Hey, is there such a good thing? I'll go and have a look when the time comes. How lucky is General Xiao, to marry a princess and go home."

It seems that Princess Qixia's focus is different.

The imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily Princess Qixia didn't have that much thought for Xiao Yue.

Just when the imperial concubine thought she could rest assured, Guan Fangyi said surprisingly, "Princess Xiangli or me, who is more beautiful?"

Guan Fangyi is very polite, why do you say that?

Concubine An Gui said: "County Lord, we in Daxing pay attention to the fact that visitors are guests. We have friends who come from afar. Since you are a guest in Daxing, Princess Xiangli, as the host, naturally has to have a good talk with the guests."

As for who is beautiful, Concubine An didn't say.

Guan Fangyi pouted unconvinced, "I want to see the rumored fiancée of General Xiao, Princess Xiangli."

See if she and General Xiao are talented and beautiful.

The imperial concubine then said, "This matter must be decided by His Majesty."
