Jin Shengman's beautiful eyes widened, her lips parted slightly, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"No way? Sister, are you going to sell your sister?"
Ever since she was a child, this cousin has loved and cared for me very much. She has never allowed herself to suffer the slightest grievance. However, she never thought that now that she is in the Tang Dynasty and has left her hometown, her sister would actually say such words...
Is it because the Jin family is no longer what it used to be, and the throne of Silla is about to be sacrificed with both hands. My sister is in the Tang Dynasty and she is afraid that her life will be precarious, so he sells her for a good price in order to make friends with Fang Jun and ensure his safety?
Isn't this betrayal?
She couldn't accept it...
When Queen Seondeok saw her dependent sister weeping, with a look of panic on her face, her heart felt as if she had been stabbed by a sharp knife. She stretched out her arm, gently hugged her sister's shoulders, and wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes.
He said softly: "You and I have entered the Tang Dynasty. In this life, I am afraid that we will never be able to return to our homeland. Otherwise, the future of the Jin family will be worrying... Although you and I are daughters, we will not be inferior to men. Since the direct descendants of the Jin family are
There are only two of us. Since our bodies are shattered, we must maintain the integrity of the clan... Later, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will definitely make a request for marriage, either to a prince or to the queen of a powerful minister... As a descendant of Silla, my sister
King, even if you give up the throne, it is the sustenance of the people of Silla. You absolutely cannot commit yourself to a Tang Dynasty person and marry a woman. On the contrary, your sister is talented and beautiful, and she is only 28 years old. Even if you are not willing to marry a Tang Dynasty person, how can you be willful?
Are you going to act in a way that puts the Jin family in danger?"
Without a strong country as a backing, even the children of the royal family are in a state of limbo and are precarious.
Destiny has never been changed by personal will...
Jin Shengman bit her lips tightly, and between her long eyelashes, pearl-like tears fell in strings.
Why did the Kim royal family, which was so glorious yesterday, turn into pitiful dolls whose life and death are controlled by others overnight?
The gap is too big...
*****
The motorcade arrived at Honglu Temple, where the Queen of Silla would stay for a while. After bathing and changing clothes, she would enter the palace and have an audience with the emperor.
The place where we stayed was the guest house prepared for envoys from various countries all year round in Honglu Temple. Although it was clean and spacious, the decoration was not gorgeous. The Tang Dynasty treated envoys from various countries with courtesy and was never arrogant, but it did not spend huge sums of money.
It was the custom to build magnificent palaces for their use.
If you have the spare money, you might as well build a few more roads and build a few school buildings...
Of course, necessary regulations are still indispensable. Etiquette demonstrates the magnanimity and magnanimity of the Celestial Kingdom. The great Confucian scholars in the DPRK will never be criticized in this regard.
There are many buildings in Honglu Temple. Because of his special status, Jin Shengman also received similar treatment as Queen Seondeok, and was assigned to a separate room to bathe and change clothes.
A bathtub has been prepared in the room, filled with hot water, and there is a light mist floating in it.
Jin Shengman drove away all the maids sent by the Tang royal family and only used the personal maids he brought from Silla.
Several maids waited on her and took off her clothes. When they found out that the inner clothes were also taken off, revealing her slim and beautiful body, as smooth as the first snow, they laughed softly and said: "Princess's personality, talent and appearance will surely attract the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
, I don’t know, in a few days, someone will come to your door with a bride price to propose marriage."
Jin Shengman snorted and said: "Before that, I may have to sell you guys first... Tang Dynasty people, especially those scholars, pay attention to reading at night with red sleeves and fragrant fragrance. They flock to Silla maids like you. If you have a good color, you may be able to sell it at a good price."
Several maids' expressions froze and they quickly shut up.
Whether in the Tang Dynasty or in Silla, maidservants had a low status, almost no different from livestock, and were the property of the family owner. If Jin Shengman really wanted to sell them, it was just a matter of words, and the Tang people liked Silla maidservants. As everyone knows, it’s okay to fall into the family of a kind-hearted person. If you meet a violent and perverted person, you will be so humiliated that you don’t know how to die...
Jin Shengman raised her slender legs and stepped into the tub.
The hot water instantly flooded her body, soaking every inch of her skin. The whole body was warmed and comfortable inside and out, and the pain of traveling thousands of miles across the ocean was instantly relieved.
After washing up, several maids brought the clothes that had been prepared and helped Jin Shengman change.
These clothes are the best in the Silla palace. The inside is a pale pink bellyband, embroidered with pink and white plum blossoms, and two clusters of budding stamens are in place. When it is put on and the chest is slightly lifted, the clothes are The stamens are highlighted just right...
Then she wore a snow-white middle coat, made of silk produced in the south of the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty. It was light and transparent, like cicada wings, with two slender, snow-white jade legs looming.
Then there was a light cyan gauze skirt on the boat, and a crimson Silla palace complex on the outside...
By the time the maid put her hair into a bun, with pearls on her head and exquisite makeup, half an hour had passed.
Surrounded by the maids, she came to the front hall. Queen Seon Deok had already finished washing her clothes. She was dressed dignifiedly and was drinking tea with the Prince of Tang Dynasty and the evil thief Fang Jun.
As she walked into the hall, the keen girl's heart instantly felt the gazes from the two men. The elements of surprise and admiration in them made her slightly raise her pointed chin, full of pride.
Hum, even though you are as cunning as a ghost, you still have to surrender to the charm of this girl?
Haha, man...
Looking at the arrogant Jin Shengman, Fang Jun shook his head and laughed, and said leisurely: "Princess Zhende has a beautiful appearance and a lively personality. Your Highness should advise Your Majesty to choose a young and handsome person for her from among the royal children. A good son-in-law has achieved a good story about the everlasting marriage between Tang Dynasty and Silla. I think it will be passed down through the ages and people all over the world will be happy to hear about it."
Just one sentence shattered Jin Shengman's pride...
Marry a Tang Dynasty?!
General Jin Shengman couldn’t imagine it!
Naturally, she has a beautiful face and slender figure that makes men salivate. This can be seen from the looks of the Tang Prince and Fang Jun just now. But if she marries a Tang person with her current status, how can she get what she deserves? respect?
Being reduced to a plaything is almost inevitable.
And once the Prince of the Tang Dynasty in front of him seriously advises the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will have no reason to refute him, and the matter is almost a foregone conclusion...
Jin Shengman was filled with hatred and fear, wishing to bite Fang Jun to death. He could only blink and look at Li Chengqian with an innocent expression, his eyes full of pleading: "I am young and have not yet reached the time to get married. , and I still need to stay with my sister, so I hope His Highness will be tolerant."
Queen Seon Deok also felt nervous. She was not sure whether Fang Jun's words were teasing her sister, or whether she was angry at her sister's bad attitude towards her and was seeking revenge. If it was the former, it would be fine, but if it was the latter, then this person
He would deliberately find a dandy husband for his sister. When the time came, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would say so, how could he delay his opposition?
She also became nervous and said: "My roommate is young, has little knowledge, and has a naughty temperament. How can she be worthy of being a descendant of the Tang royal family? If she remains naughty after getting married, I am afraid it will affect the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and Silla, and the gain will outweigh the loss."
Li Chengqian glanced at Fang Jun helplessly. He was familiar with Fang Jun and knew his temperament, so he explained to Queen Seondeok warmly: "The Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and it is also the lord of Silla. At any time,
The Tang Dynasty will respect the wishes of its subordinates. If there is a person of interest in the Tang Dynasty who wants to get married, whether it is the father or an orphan, they will naturally agree with it and be willing to accomplish good things. As for forcing the subordinates to make some decisions that are against their will, Gu Xiang
You promise, it will never happen. Erlang has a cheerful temperament. It was just a joke and it must not be taken seriously."
Fang Jun smiled and said nothing.
Jin Shengman breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was trying to scare himself...
Then he glared at Fang Jun, this man is really hateful!
Queen Seondeok was also reassured and praised: "Your Highness is kind-hearted, generous and gentle, which is really a blessing to the people of the world."
Li Chengqian said a few polite words, and seeing that it was getting late, he said: "If it is convenient for Her Majesty the Queen, we can leave for the palace immediately, okay?"
Queen Seon Deok nodded and said: "Just like this, I dare not keep His Majesty the Emperor waiting for a long time."
Li Chengqian stood up and said with a smile: "Even so, as soon as we enter the palace, my father and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can't wait to appreciate Her Majesty the Queen's peerless grace!"
Queen Seon Deok stood up and smiled lightly: "I am ashamed to say that, Your Highness, please."
"please!"
Li Chengqian walked out of the hall first.
Fang Jun followed closely behind.
Queen Seondeok was a little behind and whispered to Jin Shengman who was walking beside her: "When I meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty later, remember to be careful in your words and deeds and don't be willful. If anything goes wrong, Jin will be punished."
The whole clan is doomed!"
Jin Shengman, however, was not ignorant of the importance. He quickly nodded and said obediently: "Sister knows, please don't worry."
I just thought in my heart that naturally I couldn't act recklessly in front of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but I couldn't let it go just like this when Fang Jun scared him recently. I'll remember this debt for the time being, and I will finally pay it back with interest one day.
return!
This man is really hateful. He teases me again and again. Does he really think that he is a flirtatious woman who can't wait to throw himself into his arms after teasing her a little bit?
Humph, what a beautiful thought...
How does Queen Seondeok know what she is thinking?
Wen Yan felt relieved, walked out of the hall, boarded the carriage, and under the escort of many Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty, marched along the spacious and grand Sky Street to Chengtian Gate and entered the Tai Chi Palace.
