Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 423 I hope the next time we meet is in the bridal chamber instead of a battlefield

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mu looked at Concubine Chai and Princess Xiaoqian.

Concubine Chai said very wisely at this time: "Since my son has serious things to talk about, I and your sister-in-law will leave first."

Zhao Mu stood up and said, "Well! This matter is entirely left to the sister-in-law and the mother-in-law. If there are any other minor matters, just ask the mother-in-law and the mother to discuss it. There is no need to ask me again."

Concubine Chai nodded, and then left with Princess Xiao Qian.

Zhao Mu looked at Mei Jian and asked, "What happened again? But the boy named Fang is here again?"

Mei Jian shook his head and said: "That's not true. The boy named Fang sent someone to send a message this morning. They promised to cooperate with us. Moreover, they have already contacted Sister A'Zhu, and then Sister A'Zhu will act as both of us. ’s contact person.

Zhao Mu sneered and said, "Haha, they are quite well-informed."

Mei Jian replied: "Sister A'Zhu is so beautiful. Young Master, you didn't ask Sister A'Zhu to hide her whereabouts. It would be easy for them to find her."

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "That's right. By the way! Who is here?"

Not far from her stood several warriors belonging to the Shan army, as well as several loads of gifts prepared for Prince Qi's palace.

Seeing Zhao Mu come out, Yelu Yanxiu smiled slightly. She looked at Mu Wanqing, and then said: "Before I say goodbye, I want to see my sweetheart again and express my love for her. Isn't it possible? ?”

After Zhao Mu said that, he followed Mei Jian to the reception room in the front hall to meet the guests.

Soon Zhao Mu came to the front hall. Zhao Mu said: "As the saying goes, no matter what, you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace. I wonder what the princess has to do when she comes to see the king today?"

In addition to the three swords of orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, there are also some elite masters from Lingjiu Palace in the hall. Facing this formation, Yelu Yanxiu still waited for Zhao Mu without changing his expression.

Mei Jian replied: "She is a Khitan woman, her name is Princess Zhao, Yelu, Yelu or something like that. We have asked the old lady and the mistress, both of them felt that it was not good to block the Liao envoy outside the house. So. Just invite them in.”

In the reception room, Zhao Ji and Mu Wanqing were accompanying the guests. There are not many etiquettes such as serving tea.

However, the few warriors belonging to the Shan army around her were a little frightened when faced with this formation.

Zhao Mu sneered and said: "It's true that the person who came here is evil. That's all, I'll go meet this woman and see what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd."

Hearing this, Mu Wanqing, who was drinking tea, almost burst into tears. However, out of demeanor, Mu Wanqing puffed up her cheeks and swallowed the tea in her mouth, and then looked at Zhao Mu with squinted eyes.

Zhao Mu didn't pay attention to Mu Wanqing's eyes. He said to Yelu Yanxiu: "Haha, Her Royal Highness is joking. Most of the people in this palace are female relatives. When did Her Royal Highness have a crush?"

Facing Zhao Mu's rebuttal, Yelu Yanxiu still smiled and said without changing her expression: "His Royal Highness King Qi is my sweetheart. Alas! It's a pity that Luo Hua is ruthless. I want to marry the Song Dynasty this time. , I am with my beloved husband day and night, but it is a pity that His Highness King Qi does not give me this opportunity." Yelu Yanxiu looked at Mu Wanqing and said, "Sometimes, I still envy Princess Zhaohua. Yes. Being able to be with the one you love is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.”

Mu Wanqing did not speak, but secretly said in her heart: "Such a big carrot with so much effort, this blessing is for you, do you want it?"

But even though Mu Wanqing thought so in her heart, if she was really asked to leave Zhao Mu, she would be reluctant to do so now. After all, not every man has Zhao Mu's strengths. She didn't blame Zhao Mu for being liked by so many women.

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "Your Highness the Princess accepts your kindness, but our Song Dynasty family has no precedent of marrying a foreign woman as a concubine. This is the ancestral law. This king cannot make an exception."

Yelu Yanxiu couldn't help but laugh angrily when she heard Zhao Mu's explanation. She said, "Aren't Princess Zhaohua and Princess Yinchuan of Xixia Kingdom foreigners?"

Zhao Mu knew that this woman had to ask this question. Zhao Mu pursed his lips and said: "Of course not. The Duan family of Dali was born among the Han people in the Central Plains. Although they are respected in the south and call themselves Bai, they are still of my Chinese blood. As for the Xixia royal family, although they are of foreign blood, they have the blood of the former Tang emperor She was given the surname Li. She also became a minister of the Song Dynasty. However, I did not marry her now. I just took her back as a hostage for the time being. As for the Yelu clan, it can be said that it is useless. Ji Kao. So they are not foreigners, and you, Princess, are foreigners."

Yelu Yanxiu sighed after hearing this, and then smiled and said: "Haha, I have heard that His Highness King Qi is very articulate and eloquent. Today I have learned a lesson. I am here to visit His Highness King Qi. Now that the state affairs are over, I have met my beloved lover. Now there is no reason to stay in the Song Dynasty. I will go back to Daliao tomorrow. I still hope that His Majesty Prince Qi can accept my love. It would be great for us, the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, to make peace and become the Qin and Jin Dynasties, so that the war between us can be eliminated. Good thing.”

As she spoke, Yelu Yanxiu stepped aside and let Zhao Mu see the gift she had brought. She said, "A small gift to the princess, eldest sister, and the old lady."

Yelu Yanxiu said at this time: "I don't know when we will see each other again. I hope that the next time I meet His Royal Highness King Qi is on the bed with flowers and candles in the bridal chamber. Not on the battlefield where we are enemies. I bid farewell to you and look forward to seeing you again." "Jun Zhenzhong!" Yelu Yanxiu said, crossing his hands on his chest. Then they bowed to Zhao Mu, Zhao Ji, and Mu Wanqing.

After Yelu Yanxiu saluted, he turned around and left with his subordinates. However, after going out, she turned around and looked at Zhao Mu, and everyone could see clearly that there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

Zhao Ji stood up at this time and said, "I'm going to see this Princess Zhao off."

Zhao Mu replied: "Mom, no need. Let them go by themselves."

Mu Wanqing sighed softly and said, "Haha, this Princess of Zhao is also a very affectionate person."

Zhao Mu snorted disdainfully and said, "It's just double-dealing!"

Mu Wanqing said at this time: "I don't quite understand, why do you have such a big prejudice against her? If it is true as he said, she will marry Da Song, and if you two get married, then there will be no need to start another war. . Maybe it can become like me and you.”

Zhao Mu gently stroked Mu Wanqing's bun and said with a smile: "My silly princess. How can this Khitan woman deserve to be compared with you? Since the rise of the Khitan, the Han people have been deceived by them more than once. I don't I’ll be fooled again.”

Zhao Ji pointed to the gifts on the ground, and then asked: "What about these things she sent?"

Zhao Mu replied: "Don't give up the things you get for free. She likes to give them away, so let's keep them. Anyway, we won't suffer any loss."
