Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

The words and tone were respectful, but Qin Ji felt something was wrong.

Because, the Saar Dynasty is now a subject of Daxia—at least in name, basically it is not much different from a subject.

And the change of the king of the vassal state must be recognized by the emperor of Daxia.

In fact, most of the time, the emperors of Great Xia would not interfere too much in the affairs of these dependent countries. As long as the new person in power was not too rude and knew how to measure, he would basically admit it.

But you just changed the king without saying hello, what do you mean?

Qin Ji patted the envoy on the shoulder, indicating that he could go inside, and at the same time, he also quickly walked into the side hall, where Xia Yuxiao changed clothes.

On the first day of the new year, the emperor's dress was quite cumbersome, including every accessory on her body, so she had been wearing the clothes for a long time with the help of the maid.

At this time, Qin Ji's voice came from outside:

"Your Majesty, can the dressing be over?"

"No, what are you in a hurry for?"

Xia Yuxiao frowned.

Although she was in the house and Qin Ji was outside, but he was putting here to change clothes, and it was really uncomfortable to poke a big man outside.

"I have something to explain to His Majesty."

"Let's just say that, don't delay."

When she said this, Xia Yuxiao shook her body, let the hem of the clothes hang down naturally, and let the sleeves unfold along the way.

"According to the envoys of the Saar Kingdom, the Saar Kingdom had a new king half a month ago. The gift this time is also a gift arranged by the new king."

Qin Ji said.

"The new king? That brother?"

Xia Yuxiao immediately remembered this guy named Ban Ge. Although he hadn't met him when he was in charge, he had more or less received several letters.

How should I put it, this person is not completely brainless, but his dual quotient is obviously not very high, compared with the old king, the difference is more than 01:30 points.

At least his father knows how to recharge his energy, and he can pretend to be a grandson, but this buddy can't even pretend.

Moreover, what makes Xia Yuxiao very unhappy is that when this guy was in charge, he didn't respect people very much when he wrote letters. He probably saw a portrait of himself, and even praised her beauty and figure in various ways... .

In fact, Daxia is no longer a decadent and conservative society. There is nothing wrong with men praising women for their good figure and beauty.

The premise is, civil.

When the top leaders of the two countries communicate with each other, it is difficult for people to have a good impression if you keep praising each other for how good their figure is.If it wasn't for the fact that this guy was acting as an agent of the government at that time, she would have written an imperial edict and scolded him back.

"It is this man."

Qin Ji said.

"It's been half a month, and that brother hasn't asked me for an order?"

Xia Yuxiao took a slight breath, and asked the maids to tie her waist and put on the jade belt.

"There's been no news."

"Could it be that you forgot to give it to me in your hand?" Xia Yuxiao joked.

Most of the affairs in the north are related to the military. Therefore, when the Saar Dynasty has any documents to be handed over to her, they will sometimes go to the army to pass them on. Firstly, it is safer for the army to pass on. Second, the army also represents the relationship between the two countries. official.

In this way, these memorials will be placed in Qin Ji's hands at some point.

"Your Majesty, there is absolutely no such omission. If there is, even if I have the courage, I would not dare to detain it."

Qin Ji answered seriously.

"Okay," Xia Yuxiao raised her head and thought for a moment, "After presenting the gift later, you leave their envoy behind, and just say that I have something to say to him."

She knew very well that the Saar Dynasty did not ask Daxia to be king. On the one hand, it was unwilling to be a subject of Daxia, and chose to keep the face of their so-called Saar man in silence; It is because they are worried that Daxia will interfere in it and hinder their transfer of power.

Among them, I am afraid there are deeper reasons.

That is, they are going to come to Boda.

Whether it was war or sowing dissension, before starting to act, if they had to ask Daxia for the title of king on the eve of the action, it would be tantamount to admitting that they were not in charge of the grassland.

In this case, whether it is to start a war or provoke conflicts among the tribes, their right to speak will be greatly weakened——Your Saar Kingdom is a subject, and I am also a subject, so why should I listen to you?If it doesn't work, let's ask Da Xia to come and comment.

Chapter 87 Setting Up

After presenting gifts and celebrating the new year, Xia Yuxiao and the officials left the hall.

The courtiers naturally went to visit each other in their respective mansions, which was also a common thing in the officialdom, and Xia Yuxiao didn't intend to stop it. After all, where there are people, there are people who are sophisticated, and there are contacts and groups, which cannot be stopped.As long as they don't disturb the order of the court, don't worry too much about it.

Anyway, in the current situation, they don't have the guts to form a party together.Even if they form a party, among the three princes, Qin Ji is temporarily standing with her, Prime Minister Long and Wang Yushi basically have no obvious signs of forming a party for personal gain, so what if the other ministers form a party?

And Xia Yuxiao naturally has someone she wants to meet.

She asked Qin Ji to tell Wuheya to meet her in the living room, and then sent an order for the envoys of the Saar Dynasty to come and speak.

Facing the emperor's summons, it was obvious that the envoys would come sooner. After all, they were men, and as a courtier himself, he didn't have too many ceremonial clothes to wear.

But Wuheya will be much slower.

So Qin Ji waited for a long time before seeing her come out.

"Your Majesty summoned me this time, what's the matter?"

Wu Heya asked suspiciously.

If it was about going back to her own country and finding a way to seize power, she was already mentally prepared, and Xia Yuxiao had already met her before, so there was no need to do it again, right?

"It's something else," Qin Ji and Wuheya said as they walked in the palace, "Wuheya, did your Saar dynasty send you a letter recently?"

"No, it's normal operation if they don't send letters?" Wuheya is very clear about this, "For me, it's good news if they don't have any news. My loved ones, their letters just make me wonder if they are trying to raise my blood pressure."

This is a big truth. In Wuheya's view, although he still cares about everything in his country, it is obvious that his family members don't think so.Whether the orders they conveyed or the letters they sent, there was nothing pleasing in them.And it's not nutritious.

Therefore, Wuheya didn't want them to send letters to her, at least in this way, out of sight and out of mind.

"I thought they would communicate more with you, anyway, you are also your father's child," Qin Ji smiled helplessly, "Although your status is special, we are not cold-blooded people. It's normal for us to care, but I rarely see parents who don't care about their children a little bit."

"I'm used to it." Wuheya smiled.

Qin Ji didn't continue talking, and the two just kept walking.

What Qin Ji said just now did contain some concern, but the main purpose was to test Wuheya.After all, he didn't know whether Wuheya knew about the news that Brother Ban had officially become king.

Judging from her performance, it is probably not clear.

Interestingly, the Thrall envoy already knew about this.

But now, also in Daxia, Wuheya, who is a member of the royal family, has not been able to hear the news. know the news.What about the envoy?He knew it clearly, and it was not the first time to meet Wuheya before that, but he kept silent.

Are you repelling her?still......

Worried that she will know it too early, and then take advantage of the gap in the transition of power to seize his throne?

Is it necessary to be afraid to this extent?Although Qin Ji knew that Wuheya was not easy, but that was because he knew Wuheya well, and what about Brother Ban?When did he become so wary of his seemingly harmless sister?

No matter what the situation is, in short, she will know the real situation next.

In the living room, Xia Yuxiao sat on the main seat, while the envoy sat respectfully opposite.

"coming?"

Seeing Wuheya walk in, Xia Yuxiao nodded with a smile, and motioned for her and Qin Ji to sit down.

Wu Heya looked at the envoy and nodded her head as a greeting.

"Just now, I chatted with the envoy of your Saar Kingdom for a while, and I suddenly felt that although this Saarman has a bold and unrestrained personality, he is also interesting. He speaks directly and doesn't go around the bush, which is quite interesting."

Xia Yuxiao waited until Wuheya was seated, then said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, all Saar people are like this. The character developed since childhood cannot be changed. Sometimes it is rude, but I hope Your Majesty will forgive it."

Wuheya also replied politely.

"Etiquette and such are all imaginary. You see, this Qin Taiwei sometimes enjoys talking with me in front of me, so it doesn't matter about the red tape," Xia Yuxiao said, telling the maid next to her to fall Tea was served, "By the way, I heard that you also like to talk to this messenger often, don't you?"

"Exactly."

"Well, how wonderful this is. The ancients said that there are three happy events in life, and one of them is meeting an old friend in a foreign country. It is a blessing to have someone from the motherland in a foreign country."

"How about it, princess, are you homesick during your stay in Daxia?"

"It's a lie to say that you don't want to go home." Wuheya naturally knew how to answer, "However, I believe that I came here for the sake of the friendship between the two countries for generations. Peace between the two countries should be the most important thing."

"Well said, look, this is the daughter of the king of Thrall, the overall situation is the most important thing," Xia Yuxiao laughed, and then continued, "However, you have to remember that the family is the most important thing. Do you know how your father is doing now? Have you asked?"

"Your Majesty, not yet."

"You should ask," Xia Yuxiao said, turning her head to look at the envoy, "By the way, I remember that your king sent a lot of documents before, how is her father's health now? Is he in good health? ah?"

"This......"

The envoy was stunned for a moment.

What do you say?

He didn't dare to reveal the truth! ?

"The king is in good health, the princess has nothing to worry about."

He didn't say who the king was, but he was in good health anyway.Who do you think the king is, that is who he is.

"Yes, after all, judging from his letters this year, the king is still very polite, and, to tell you the truth, today's gift is said to be personally selected by the king of Thrall, and he is so generous just after he took the throne. , is indeed rare."

Qin Ji also knew that it was time to make up the knife, so he said something casually.

"Accession?"

Wuheya immediately grasped the word.

"What enthronement?"

"Your Highness, this..."

The envoy thought that being summoned suddenly by the emperor today was probably a grand banquet.But he didn't expect that this Hongmen banquet would bring someone who shouldn't come...

"The new king is my brother, right?"

Wuheya's expression was very calm.
