Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 915 Royal Courtyard
But some people just want to cause trouble.

Li Shi'an, the crown prince of Jiaozhi Kingdom, learned that the Song Dynasty had sent the chief minister of the Ministry of Rites out of the city, and guessed that the chariot of the Lord of Liao Dynasty should be nearby.

Maybe we were entering the city at about the same time, so we deliberately staggered the times to avoid bumping into each other.

Li Shi'an chuckled twice and called the guard leader Guan Ting over: "Go and find out."

Guan Ting glanced at Li Shi'an, saw him nodding, and left after taking the order.

About half an hour later, Guan Ting came back: "Your Highness, the Lord Liao's carriage is still about an hour away from the North City Gate of the Song Dynasty."

Li Shian put his left fist on his chin and tilted his head to look at Guan Ting: "This is interesting. There is still an hour, so let's speed up the pace."

Everyone seemed to agree.

When the princess of the Tubo tribe, Lamu, learned that the Lord of Daliao was approaching the city gate, she chose the same treatment method as Li Shian and ordered the team to speed up.

Therefore, Fan Baijing went out to Beijing to remind Leng Zhongyan and the others, but was taken advantage of instead.

The three carriages arrived at the city gate at the same time.

Fortunately, they came from different directions. Yelu Hongji entered from the Tongtian Gate of the North City Gate. When the Emperor of Liao came, the reception standard was the highest.

However, Zhao Rui was a young emperor and did not have a prince, so he arranged for King An, who was one person outnumbering ten thousand people, to greet him at the city gate.

Let's talk about Li Shi'an, the prince of Jiaozhi Kingdom. He entered through the Xuanhua Gate of the South City Gate.

Xuanhua Gate is the rightmost gate of the South City Gate. Zhao Jin, who had not been seen for a long time, came to greet him.

Li Shian was obviously not very familiar with this person.

So very dissatisfied.

"I am the crown prince. If you send such a person to greet me, are you not taking our country of Cochin seriously?"

Zhao Jin, who was already in his fifties and was forced to go out to do business, looked at the arrogant Li Shi'an and didn't want to get used to it: "... Even if you know it, why would your Highness say it and embarrass himself?"

Li Shian looked at Zhao Jin in disbelief.

Who is this person? How dare he attack him like this? It's too presumptuous.

"Your Song Dynasty, known as a country of etiquette, actually asked an unknown person to welcome me. I will go into the palace now and ask your Majesty, is this your way of hospitality?"

The head of the Ministry of Etiquette who accompanied Zhao Jin rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Your Highness, this is Prince Xuan, who was personally conferred by our late emperor. He has experienced two dynasties and has a distinguished status. If you are not even qualified to be Prince Xuan, how can you possibly want to do so?" Our Majesty will greet you personally?”

Even the Lord of Liao didn’t receive this kind of treatment!

You deserve it too.

Coming from the land of the Southern Barbarians, I have the nerve to say that the Song Dynasty does not understand etiquette.

"King Xuan?"

Li Shian obviously hadn't heard of it.

Chief of the Department of Etiquette: "Yes, King Xuan has not been in the court much in recent years, but this status is not one that you can belittle casually."

Li Shian's face was full of excitement, but after learning Zhao Jin's identity, he didn't open his mouth and said that he wanted to discuss it with Emperor Song.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is now willing to accompany me to the Sifang Pavilion for resettlement?"

Li Shian: "Lead the way."

After getting on the carriage, Li Shi'an couldn't help but ask: "This King Xuan has the same surname as the Song Dynasty royal family. Is he also a member of the royal family?"

The accompanying official wiped the sweat from his head and said, "I don't know this."

"I don't know?" Li Shi'an gritted his teeth, "If you don't know, let me check it out now. I want to know everything about him before dark."

Princess Tubo arrived at the west gate two quarters of an hour later than them.

It was arranged to be greeted by the eldest princess. In the current imperial court, the late emperor left four eldest princesses. The eldest princess was born to Concubine Miao. She is thirty-one years old this year. There are also three princesses, one is nine years old and is named the eldest princess of Xu, and the other is named the eldest princess of Ji. years old, all born to Concubine Zhou.

There was another one who was named the eldest princess of the state of Bing, born to Concubine Dong, who was also nine years old.

The three of them were still children and could not welcome them, so the eldest princess had to come forward.

"I've met the eldest princess."

Ram got down from the carriage and greeted the eldest princess first. Because the eldest princess is higher than Ram.

"Princess, you're welcome. It's been a long journey, so please go with me to the Sifang Pavilion to settle down."

Ram nodded and got on the carriage again, and the driver followed behind the eldest princess.

She opened the carriage window slightly and looked at the streets on both sides of Kaifeng Mansion. This was the Kyoto of the Song Dynasty. It was indeed prosperous and it was still so lively even at this hour.

After the tomorrow's palace banquet, you must take a good stroll.

The eldest princess settled the Tubo princess. After coming out of the Sifang Pavilion, the maid serving beside her said: "She is said to be a princess, but who doesn't know that there are only a few tribes left in Tubo that are still holding on, and they have long since disappeared. She is so brilliant. She is a princess, but how can she be worthy of you, the eldest princess?"

The eldest princess smiled and said: "I know you are complaining for me, but how do you know about the situation in Tubo?"

"How do you know this? I heard this when I went out to buy things for the princess these days."

"It's no wonder."

"Princess, the slave looked at the Tubo princess just now, as if she had never seen the world, and what was on her head was tinkling."

Qiu Equinox tugged on Nian Xia's sleeves to shut her up.

Nian Xia is the maid who spoke just now.

She did not serve the eldest princess from the beginning, but was bought from outside after the first two maids got married. She was quite reserved at first, but the eldest princess was kind, and she gradually began to talk more.

"Sister Autumn Equinox, why didn't you let me say it just now?"

Qiu Equinox sighed: "It's okay for us to talk about some things in private, but on this street, we are still talking about princesses from other countries. How many heads do you have?"

"But the eldest princess..."

I don’t look angry at all!
"Do you want the eldest princess to punish you in public before you shut up?"

Nian Xia quickly covered her mouth.

Staring at the Autumn Equinox with wide eyes, those eyes seemed to say I was wrong.

"Next time, be more discerning and know what to say on what occasion."

"There won't be a next time."

Nian Xia has been serving the eldest princess for the past two years, and she is used to being free and carefree. The eldest princess doesn't like to go out much on weekdays. She always stays in the backyard, and rarely talks about such topics.

Nian Xia was a little scared when Qiu Equinox said this today.

The next day, Li Shian got up early. After coming out of the Sifang Pavilion, he did not wander around the capital, but left the city through Chaoyang Gate.

Zhao Rui quickly received the news: "Leaving the city? Where did you go?"

Pan Yi said: "Looking in the direction, it should be the Royal Courtyard."

What do you want to do when you go to the Royal Courtyard at this time?
Zhao Rui didn't understand for a moment that there was nothing in the Royal Courtyard. The only thing he had was, oh, an uncle who was training in the Courtyard.

When the late emperor was on the throne, he even took him to see it once.

He is half a year older than his father, almost sixty.

Over the years, he has lived a regular life, going to bed early and getting up early. The eunuchs who take care of him report on the situation every few months, and they all say that his body is strong and strong.
