The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 232 Telling the past

Song Huaijin smiled proudly: "I'm not a big Chinese, but my commerce and trade are more developed than any other country. In addition, there are gold and silver mines and all kinds of gemstones all over the country. The wealth of the people in the country is beyond what others can imagine. You will naturally get rich if you stay for a long time. Know."

While he was talking here, the people in the fields all came to pay a visit together when they heard that the crown prince of his country had returned.

Song Huaijin showed his face, said a few words, and told the people to disperse, allowing the convoy to move on.

Afterwards, the convoy moved forward, and after a while, it stopped in front of a post house. A guard had come to report that they would rest here for one night, and then set off for the capital the next day.

Song Huaijin got off the car, helped Ji Songxian get off, walked into the post house, and introduced to Ji Songxian: "The post house here is different from the Xia Dynasty. The Xia Dynasty post house specializes in entertaining officials. All officials' relatives are free to stay, but Dahua is different. , The posthouse is the business of officials, the state subsidizes one or two, and the rest is paid by the officials who still have to come and go. Although the accommodation of officials is cheaper than staying in an inn, they still have to pay for it."

Speaking of this, Song Huaijin asked the head of the guards to bring some gold and silver to Yi Cheng for rest, food and drink.

Ji Songxian became more and more puzzled: "Officials want to get money, but you, as the prince, also need to get money? Also, are there no palaces in Dahua?"

Song Huaijin smiled: "In order to reduce the burden on the people, my mother didn't ask to set up a palace. Not only me, but also my mother also needs to get money to subsidize it when she travels and lives in a post house."

As Ji Songxian listened, he thought about it in his heart. He only felt that everything in the Great Hua Kingdom was very fresh, and he was even more curious about what kind of person this Empress is.

After entering the post house, someone had already brought hot water for them to wash, and a few maids borrowed the kitchen of the post house to cook some meals for Ji Songxian.

For a while, everyone was busy, Ji Songxian traveled the whole way by boat, and did not rest when he got ashore. Now his son was very tired, and after eating, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Seeing that she was asleep, Song Huaijin carefully covered her with the quilt before coming out. When she went out, she asked Yicheng to give some instructions, and then called the guards to go outside to buy some fresh food and playthings for preparation. Ji Songxian wakes up and enjoys it.

After finishing the order, Song Huaijin went into the room and hugged Ji Songxian to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and the group set off at dawn the next day. After another three or five days, the convoy arrived in the capital.

The capital of the Dahua Kingdom is named Sheng'an, and many people also call Sheng'an City the City of Flowing Gold. It is said that Sheng'an City was originally a place where a river of gold sand flowed. In the early days, there were many people mining gold here. Later, for some reason, a little bit of gold sand It's all gone, and the river is gradually drying up, and even disappears, but the name of Liujin has remained.

When Ji Songxian was far away from Sheng'an City, he opened the curtain of the car to have a look. Looking at it this way, he saw that Sheng'an City was bigger than Jinling City, and the city was higher, but there were not as many pedestrians as Jinling City. This is the reason why there are not many people in Dahua.

After entering the city, Ji Songxian became more and more emotional.

The city of Sheng'an is very large, and the streets are wide and clean. The streets and alleys are paved with flat bluestone, and the sweeping is very clean. The shops and residences on both sides of the street are very tidy, and the pedestrians are neatly dressed and behave politely. , but his expression carried the arrogance of a great and powerful country.

This is something that the people of Jinling City do not possess. Ji Songxian saw that even though the prince was driving by, the people did not show any fear, but some people respected them a lot. Stop on the side of the road and wait until the convoy passes before moving on.

The convoy kept moving forward, and about an hour later, it reached the center of Sheng'an City, looking at the palace from a distance.

Although Sheng'an City is quite big, the palace of Dahua Kingdom is very small, far less than half the size of Daxia Kingdom's palace. Looking at it from a distance, it's not as imposing as Ziji Palace, but all the red walls and yellow tiles, carved beams and painted buildings have a trace. No, it looks very simple, perhaps only a little bit better than some wealthy households in Daxia.

Ji Songxian glanced at Song Huaijin, and Song Huaijin smiled: "Mother is a woman, and she is not married, so naturally she doesn't need a big house for a harem. I am only you, and I won't accept small ones, and build such a big house." It’s useless, not only is it a waste of money, it’s not comfortable to live in, it’s better to keep it simple, my mother once said that all the kings of Dahua are monogamous, unless they have no children, otherwise they are not allowed to take concubines.”

"So, women can also be emperors in the future?" Ji Songxian was even more surprised.

Song Huaijin nodded: "A mother is a woman, so naturally a woman can be an emperor in the future. As long as we two give birth to a daughter, we don't have to be afraid of anything even if we don't have a son."

Ji Songxian felt relieved all of a sudden.

Although her body is not very strong, it is possible to have children. In Daxia, she was afraid that she would not be able to give birth to her son Chengsi. Now when her son heard Song Huaijin's words, he understood in his heart, whether she gave birth to a son or a daughter. , as long as she can give birth to one, Song Huaijin will never bring someone to her family to make things difficult for her.

In this way, Ji Songxian laughed more and more heartily.

However, it only took a moment, when the car entered the palace, Ji Songxian became nervous.

The carriage stopped shortly after entering the palace, Ji Songxian followed Song Huaijin out of the carriage, and looked at a neatly dressed middle-aged woman standing in front of her with a smile.

Song Huaijin immediately smiled when she saw this woman: "Aunt Ping."

Only then did Ji Songxian know that this woman was Bai Ping, the Queen's personal attendant that Song Huaijin had mentioned to her, and she was very attractive to the Queen, so she also went over and said a few words with a smile. Bai Ping saluted Ji Songxian and said with a smile: " Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, and the prince and princess will follow me."

After speaking, Bai Ping walked forward, Song Huaijin and Ji Songxian followed, bypassed a small gate, and crossed a small road, and saw a small yard in the distance. This yard did not use brick walls, nor did it have any wooden doors. , but surrounded by carved wooden railings, it looks very transparent.

There are many roses planted in the yard, and there is a small pond, which is supposed to be used for fish farming, and a white swing is set up beside it, and flowers of various colors are planted on both sides of the swing, and many flower stands are built near the wooden railing, called When people look at it, they just feel refreshed.

In an instant, Ji Songxian knew that the queen must be a person who can enjoy life very much.

After entering the courtyard, she walked along the stone-paved road for a short while before arriving at the house, and saw Bai Ping bowing slightly: "Your Majesty, the prince and concubine are asking to see you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened, and Song Huaijin took Ji Songxian's hand into the room. As soon as she entered the room, she saw a bead curtain, which was strung with huge white pearls. Only this bead curtain, I don't know How many top-quality pearls are used, the value has already been overwhelmed.

Bypassing the bead curtain, I saw a glass screen with landscapes painted on a marble base. Behind the screen, there were many light blue gauze curtains. A gust of fragrant wind blew by, and the sand curtain was lifted. Ji Songxian looked at a man in bright yellow with hundreds of embroidery Niao Chao walked out slowly to the young woman in the phoenix dress.

As soon as this woman came out, Ji Songxian was stunned.

Ji Songxian thinks that she is the beauty of the country, with a beautiful face, but this woman is not inferior to her in appearance, but her temperament is better than her. The woman is noble, elegant, and has an indescribable Majesty, it seems that as long as she stands there, others have to kneel at her feet and obey her orders, no matter who they are, they cannot resist.

Looking at this woman, Ji Songxian didn't even dare to show his anger.

At this time, Song Huaijin stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Mother."

Ji Songxian's eyes widened after hearing these two words, and his face was full of surprise.

Song Huaijin pulled her, but Ji Songxian still couldn't get back to his senses, Song Huaijin was about to say something, the woman laughed, walked over a few steps, looked at Ji Songxian for a few times, and then cursed softly: "I said that the emperor must I was looking for the crown princess in Daxia, and I said what a stunning woman fascinated my emperor, but now I look at her, she is really stunning, no wonder the emperor is determined to marry her."

Ji Songxian was so shocked that his heart was like a tumbling wave, and he couldn't hold back his mouth for a while and asked: "You, you are the queen of Dahua, my mother-in-law?"

The queen laughed out loud, "Exactly."

"Why?" Ji Songxian wanted to ask the queen why she was so young. It stands to reason that the queen should be older than her real mother-in-law Song Shi, but she was shocked to be impolite before she could say anything, and quickly gave a deep blessing : "I'm too young to take care of things, it's too rude, mother forgive me."

The queen didn't take offense, and pulled her up: "Forgive me for any crime, but anyone who sees me for the first time will be shocked. You are still good. Some people will not believe that I belong to the queen."

Having said that, the empress waved her hand to Song Huaijin: "Go on your own, we two have a private conversation."

Song Huaijin backed out with a promise, and Ji Songxian became more and more nervous.

The queen smiled and pulled her to sit down, and first asked some gossip, such as Ji Yi, how is Wu Shi, etc., and then asked about the experience along the way, and asked about this call, Ji Songxian was not so nervous anymore, the queen said : "It's just a good face, this face looks young, but my heart is already old."

"You are not old at all. Looking at you, you don't look like my mother. People will believe that she is my sister." Ji Songxian also replied with a smile.

The queen waved her hand and said, "Don't coax me, I understand it in my heart."

Seeing Ji Songxian bow her head, the queen asked again: "Did your mother-in-law ever mention me?"

Ji Songxian raised his head fiercely, then shook his head quickly, the queen sighed softly: "I can't say, she blames me."

Seeing that Ji Songxian was getting more and more puzzled, the queen explained: "You don't know many things, so let me tell you today, so you don't have to guess. I am the first daughter of the Song family, but I lost it when I was born." My own mother was almost tossed about by my concubine. Later, my stepmother came in. She was a good person. She raised me by my side. It's really good, but when I was young, I escaped a lot, and relying on my cleverness without restraint, I made many things and gained a great reputation. Speaking of which, the marriage in Cheng Guogong's mansion was originally mine. But...you asked your mother-in-law to marry me instead, so that later on, she blamed me, I..."

When Ji Songxian heard the queen's slow talk, his heart was even more turbulent, and he didn't think that there were such things in it.
