"I see you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
"Deng Aiqing is safe." The emperor's tone was extremely calm.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Deng Xiaoran stood up slowly, but still did not dare to raise his head.
"Come, please sit down."
For the first time, the emperor not only did not embarrass Prince Deng, but on the contrary, he was very kind to him and even showed him his seat. However, this made the young prince even more unsure. He thought to himself, what is this emperor like? He can only kill people with a nod, but you want to kill him.
You have to cut it quickly. It's too unkind to scare people like this.
So Deng Xiaoran sat on the chair anxiously, his heart full of fear...
"How are you doing, old prince?"
"My father is doing well recently. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
"I haven't seen Uncle Deng for many years, and I miss him very much."
"I would like to thank the Emperor on behalf of my father."
Watching the two people talking high-sounding words, Nuan Si felt sleepy. There is nothing more boring than this, so he stood up and said: "The emperor and the young prince are chatting first. I am not feeling well, so I will leave first."
Unexpectedly, the emperor's face became very ugly. He thought that Nuan Si was avoiding Deng Xiaoran on purpose, so he said: "The queen is not feeling well, do you need to call the imperial doctor?"
Nuansi immediately replied: "No, no, I just want to take a rest."
In this way, the emperor was even more sure that her claim of being unwell was just an excuse. So... are the rumors true? Do Nuan Si and Deng Xiaoran really know each other and have some kind of affection?
Thinking of this, the emperor's face became even more ugly. Nuan Si did not notice it, but just walked up the high platform. When passing by Deng Xiaowang, the emperor suddenly used his internal force to pop out an iron ball and hit Nuan Si in the crook of his leg...
Nuan Si was in pain, let out a sweet cry, and kissed the ground heavily...
At this critical moment, sure enough, Deng Xiaoran immediately stood up and supported the Queen, holding her in his arms with an ambiguous posture. Nuan Si met his eyes, and suddenly felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and it was extremely embarrassing...
Deng Xiaoran showed unconcealable affection. She had never seen such a stunning woman, her eyes were as clear as water. Deng Xiaoran forgot where she was, and just hoped that time would freeze here and let them spend more time together.
Nuan Si reacted and pushed Deng Xiaoran away first: "Thank you, young prince, for helping me."
Deng Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, then said: "No...you're welcome." Then he continued to petrify.
Nuan Si looked embarrassed, and looked back at the emperor sitting in the Jinluan Palace. Sure enough, his face was extremely gloomy, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he was ready to go. Nuan Si thought to himself, it seems that this young prince is going to be unlucky.
But after a long time, the emperor gradually suppressed his anger and said with a smile on his face: "Fortunately, Deng Aiqing supported the queen for me just now."
Deng Xiaoran came back to his senses at this moment, and hurriedly knelt down to apologize: "I don't mean to offend, I just saw that my empress was in trouble, and I was anxious for a moment, so..."
The emperor smiled and said: "Deng Ai'ai doesn't have to be modest. Since you saved the queen, I must be very grateful. I will allow you to stay in the emperor's capital for a while longer."
Deng Xiaoran turned to stone again and understood what the emperor meant. This treatment that seemed to be a gift was a disguised imprisonment. At this moment, he realized that he regretted it. He was really careless just now. Even if he saw the empress throwing herself on the ground, he could not reach out.
, but he still couldn't hold it back, so he gave the emperor a chance to take advantage of him on the first day of the interview.
Deng Xiaoran smiled bitterly and said, "I thank you for your grace."
Nuan Si saw the clues on the side and was furious. What did the emperor mean? He actually used himself as an excuse to keep Deng Xiaowang for fun, but Sima Zhao's heart was known to everyone. What did the emperor do to Deng Xiaowang?
, even Gong'e knows...
Nuan Si felt that Deng Xiaoran's offense against her was unintentional and he really saved her. Otherwise, she might have broken her bones by this time. Duan could not let herself become a stumbling block for the young prince.
So Xin Yiheng said: "Your Majesty, Prince Deng has no..."
Unexpectedly, the emperor instantly cast a cold look, blocking what Nuan Si was going to say next. Then, the emperor faked a smile and said: "The queen was just frightened, so she should go back to the palace to recuperate."
Nuan Si was about to speak, but Bei Er next to her tugged at the corner of her clothes, so she finally held back her words.
Before walking out of the palace door, she looked back at Deng Xiaoran's back and felt a little guilty...
The emperor’s birthday is celebrated on the third day of August
The grand banquet started in the morning and lasted until night. It happened that General Yu had not returned to the mansion yet, so he happened to take his wife to attend.
"As a birthday gift from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I will give you a thousand-year-old turtle king." The ceremony officer shouted.
The audience suddenly took a breath of cold air. It seems that Dongzhou is really planning to make friends with Nan Yu. The thousand-year-old turtle king is so hard to find. It is said that it can only be found in the depths of the East China Sea, and it is rare to see one in a hundred years. It is said that its turtle blood can
It was used to extend one's life. It was a rare thing that money could not buy. Unexpectedly, it was found by the emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and was given to Mo Yu Wuhuan as a birthday gift. It was really surprising.
"Beixi presents a birthday gift, two pieces of ice fox fur," the ceremony officer continued to shout.
Everyone sighed again. Everyone knows that Beixi is an extremely cold place in the north. There is Hanxue Mountain in the far north. On the mountain is the most noble animal in the world, the Ice Fire Fox. It is said to be noble because its fur is a treasure and is used for keeping warm.
of top quality materials.
There were rumors a few days ago that Beixi Country had hunted two Ice Fire Foxes. Unexpectedly, they were to give Mo Yu Wuhuan a birthday gift. It seemed that Nan Yu was really quite prestigious.
"Xiliang presents a birthday gift, a hundred eland." The ceremony officer's confidence seemed obviously lacking.
At this time, everyone below covered their faces and laughed, saying that this antelope looked too shabby compared to the Millennium Turtle King and Ice Fire Fox. Let alone a hundred, even a thousand or ten thousand, it would be hard to beat the price of the treasure.
At this time, Nuan Si's expression turned ugly. Although she was not the real princess of Xi Liang, after traveling through time, she had no choice but to be the princess. Therefore, Xi Liang was still her natal family in name. Her natal family was ridiculed, and she
The queen couldn't lose face, so she cleared her throat and said: "Xiliang clings to the west. The land is desolate and the population is sparse. For the people of Xiliang, a hundred elands are something they can't even hope for in their lifetime. This time
I'm afraid they have tried their best to pay tribute. The birthday gift mainly depends on the intention. It doesn't matter how valuable the gift is. The main thing is the intention of the gift-giver. Do you understand?"
The queen's words made everyone extremely ashamed. Without saying anything, the emperor turned his head and saw Nuan Si's face. He couldn't bear it and answered: "The queen is right. Although Xiliang's gift is not precious, it is
For them, it is already the greatest contribution. I am extremely moved and pass on my will. There is no need to pay tribute to Nanyu in Xiliang for three years."
The emperor's words left the entire audience speechless. Xi Liang's gift was the most humble, but it received the emperor's greatest recognition...
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Western Liang, and Northern Xi were all defeated countries. Every year, they had to pay tribute to Western Liang of tens of thousands of horses, brocades, finances, slaves, etc...
Unexpectedly, the emperor's casual words would be a great gift to the poor Xiliang...
Nuan Si looked at Mo Yu Wuhuan next to her with excitement...
At this time, one of Beixi's envoys whispered to the people around him: "Sir, what do you think? What does Emperor Nanyu mean? We from Beixi have contributed such valuable items, but he has not given us such generous treatment?"
The man in wall clothes smiled and said nothing, and after a moment he said: "It has nothing to do with gifts, but everything to do with people."
The attendant shook his head to express that he could not understand his master's words...
The man in wall clothes looked at Nuan Si sitting on top of the table, his eyes became deep...
At this time, the etiquette officer coughed lightly, brought back everyone's thoughts, and shouted: "Yizhou presents birthday gifts, one hundred thousand taels of gold, five hundred thousand taels of silver, sixty-six beauties, one hundred pieces of fine silk brocade, jade
Sixty pieces of wishful thinking, ten horses of bloody horses."
Everyone listened to Yizhou's congratulatory gifts and had to sigh at the generosity of King Yi'an. Although there were no extremely valuable things, they gave a lot, and each of them was extraordinary. It seemed that Yizhou was really as wealthy as the legend said.
The emperor's lips curled up slightly. Even when his father was alive, he never received any heavy gifts. Today, this can only explain one thing. The old man in Yizhou was afraid that his son would get into trouble in the imperial capital, so he spent a lot of money to buy his son's safety.
I have to lament that he is an old fox. For the old prince to send such a precious gift, the people must have lamented that the old prince is extremely loyal to the new emperor Nanyu. If he is embarrassing his son, it will be unjustifiable and the people will be dissatisfied.
However, Mo Yu Wuhuan had a higher plan. He had no intention of touching Deng Xiaoran. He just placed him under house arrest in the imperial capital...
After the ministers had given birthday gifts, it was the turn of the imperial concubine, and the harem ladies frequently performed dances to show off their talents...
Bai Ruolan's colorful fairy dance shocked the whole audience. Prime Minister Bai was very proud of himself. His daughter was in the limelight and he could not help but get carried away.
Concubine Jade has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her sword dancing is the best in the world. She is the best in the world, and no one dares to claim second place...
Concubine Qiu's song "Moon over the Li River" sang out the gentleness and virtuousness of a woman from the south of the Yangtze River, making everyone see her differently, no longer looking indifferent and unattainable.
Zhongli Cuiwei had no talent, but her father, a bachelor, helped her write a calligraphy and painting, which read: Longevity and Heaven.
The Emperor Long Yan was so pleased that he rewarded her with a lot of treasures for the first time...
The late concubine was well-educated and well-educated, and her painting skills were among the best in Nanyu. On the eve of the emperor's birthday, she worked all night long, and finally painted the ultimate picture of the king sending off his son, which was a secret message that the emperor was blooming...
The emperor smiled again and again and joked that the queen and Concubine Qiu must work hard...
Snow concubine strives to be the first in everything and refuses to lag behind others. She also put in great efforts in embroidery and embroidered a beautiful scene of rivers and mountains. The map of Nanyu appeared on the brocade. The emperor repeatedly lamented that this woman's embroidery skills are rare in a hundred years.
of genius.
Nuan Si knew that she had no advantage in front of the concubines. The emperor had all the pearls and treasures, so she didn't know what to give. If the gift was shabby, she might be laughed at, so she didn't give it at all.
The emperor finally couldn't help but asked: "Why doesn't the queen offer a birthday gift?"
Nuan Siba chirped and said, "I don't know what to give as a gift. Your Majesty is the most noble person in the world and you don't need anything, so I didn't prepare anything."
For a moment, the emperor's face was frosty and he ignored Nuan Si. After the dinner, I heard that the emperor stayed at Concubine Qiu's place...
The mysterious messenger in Beixi's wall-coverings sighed: "This queen is different from other women."
Xiluan Hall
The red candle was swaying, and Nuan Si was not sleepy. He held the paper package in his hand and looked lonely.
"Empress, why don't you give the gift to the emperor?" Bao'er was dissatisfied.
"The gifts are shabby. Compared with other concubines, they are hard to come by." Nuan Si sighed with emotion.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, the footsteps of a large number of officers and soldiers, and a voice shouting: Catch the assassin.
Nuan Si was startled, and just as she was about to get up to take a look, she suddenly saw a man in black holding a long sword in front of her neck.
"Bold? Do you dare to hold me hostage?"
The man didn't say anything, he just grabbed Nuan Si's clothes and walked towards the inner court...
Angry bloodstains fell wherever he passed. Bao'er was so surprised that he was about to scream when he saw the sword of the man in black stabbing Bao'er's throat...
