Chapter 172 Envoys Arrive in Beijing
The information he received was completely inconsistent with the person he met. To be on the safe side, he had to inquire more clearly before he could feel at ease.
"This is my sister," Song Zanluye said concisely, then glanced at him and sighed, "She is on a mission as a princess this time and intends to stay in the capital."
So...were you sent here for marriage?
Mo Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
They were not prepared to get married at all, and the other party suddenly sent a princess over, and what should they do with it?
Besides, the emperor currently has no adult children, so where can she find someone to marry her?
Seeing Mo Shu's embarrassment, he sighed in praise of Lu Ye, and then said, "This child has been spoiled by me for many years and has never seen the scene outside the grassland. I brought her out this time, on the one hand, to reconcile
Her wish is, on the one hand, to let her gain experience, so you don’t have to be embarrassed, I won’t force you.”
What this means...
Mo Shu raised his eyes, looked at Song Zan Luye unexpectedly, and instantly realized something.
"You are a smart person, so you don't need me to say anything. But according to your tradition in the Central Plains, the innocence of a girl's family is the most important. I hope you won't speak nonsense," he said, praising Lvye to the end, but not forgetting to threaten him.
.
He didn't dare to make too big a deal about this kind of thing.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will speak with caution," Mo Shu nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Since Praising Luye said so, he probably had no intention of letting the princess stay, so there was no need for him to get to the bottom of it.
He nodded in praise of the law industry, and then slowly started eating.
The way he eats is different from that of ordinary foreigners. Instead, it reveals the feeling of the Central Plains.
Mo Shu looked at it for a while and felt that this method seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Why are you staring at me?" Song Zanluye frowned and looked him up and down, but didn't know what he was thinking.
"Nothing," Mo Shu noticed his rudeness and quickly handed over his hand and found an excuse to leave.
After leaving the house, Mo Shu paused and strode towards his house.
In the room, there are subordinates waiting here.
"Go and check his background and relationships," Mo Shu pointed to the room where the law industry was praised with a cautious look and lowered his voice.
The subordinate nodded immediately and left the place quickly.
Mo Shu sighed and stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window with a little regret in his eyes.
Xiao Ji had promised him before that he would go back to his hometown for a while after he was done with Huai Shui's anger, but judging from the current situation, this may not be possible.
Mo Shu smiled bitterly, shook his head casually, closed the window and walked downstairs.
Right now, the most important thing is to escort these people to the capital safely.
Downstairs, Songzan Qi An was sitting quietly at a table, staring at the food in front of her, with no intention of doing anything.
Mo Shu went downstairs and saw the situation here at first sight. He quickly walked over and asked, "But the food here is not to the princess's taste?"
"It's just that there are some bumps on the road and I feel a little uncomfortable. You don't have to worry too much," Songzanqi smiled slightly, with a hint of fatigue in her voice.
She is not in very good health, so naturally she does not have the boldness of a prairie woman, but has a more sickly beauty.
Mo Shu frowned, but didn't know what to say, so he could only nodded slightly and walked away.
Song Zanqi watched Mo Shu walk to another table, then lowered her eyes and quietly squeezed the sleeves in her hands.
After resting, we continued on our way.
But the strange thing is that the prime minister did not set any ambush here, and the group of them arrived at the city gate smoothly.
Xiao Ji had been waiting at the city gate early in the morning, with the Prime Minister standing beside him.
"Master," Mo Shu gestured slightly, leaving space for the few of them.
"See King Yelu," Xiao Ji bowed slightly.
"You must be General Xiao," Song Zan Luye pointed out his identity without hesitation and looked him up and down with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
According to rumors, Xiao Jimeng was good at fighting. He once went deep into an enemy camp alone and killed hundreds of enemies without getting hurt. He thought that Xiao Jimeng should be a burly man, but he never thought that he was such an elegant young man.
"Rumors cannot be trusted at all," Xiao Ji could see through what he was thinking with just one glance. He smiled slightly and said, "There is some confusion here. Our emperor has prepared a dust-cleansing banquet for you. Please follow me into the palace."
He praised Luye and nodded, directly greeted the people behind him, and followed Xiao Ji into the palace.
The two people completely ignored the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister uncharacteristically did not react. He just followed the two people quietly and entered the palace together.
This situation is not right.
Xiao Ji was keenly aware that something was wrong with the Prime Minister and kept a close eye on him.
However, due to the presence of Song Zan Luye and his party, he could not say much, so he could only arrange for Song Zan Luye to meet with the emperor.
The emperor had learned the news in advance, had already changed into his dragon robe, and was sitting upright in the main hall, waiting for their visit.
Psalm Luye and Xiao Ji entered the main hall side by side and stopped almost at the same time.
"See the Emperor of the Han Dynasty," Psalm Luye touched his shoulder with his left hand and expressed his understanding on the grassland.
"No need to be polite," the emperor smiled slightly, without any intention of making things difficult, and directly ordered someone to give him a seat.
Among the group of men, Song Zanqi, who was dressed in red, attracted special attention. The emperor glanced at her without any trace, with some doubts in his heart.
"This is my sister-in-law. I heard about the prosperity in the capital and came here to have a look." Songzan Luye glanced at Songzanqi and explained in advance.
"In that case, I will send someone to take the princess to have some fun," the emperor understood clearly and didn't take it to heart.
It's just a princess, it's not like they can't afford it.
"Thank you so much, Emperor Han," Psalm Qi tenderly bent down as a gesture of thanks.
The emperor didn't say much and returned his attention to Praise to the Law Industry, "Praise to the King is really standard Chinese, but have you ever learned it specifically?"
"I have Central Plains blood, so the Central Plains dialect is naturally a bit standard," Praise Lawyers said without covering up, but did not dwell on this matter and turned to other topics.
Xiao Ji was sitting opposite Song Zan Luye, looking at him with a more thoughtful look in his eyes.
However, after traveling for such a long time, the whole team was naturally tired and left without chatting for too long.
Xiao Ji and the Prime Minister were responsible for sending them back to the inn, but as soon as they left the palace, the Prime Minister left first on the excuse of feeling unwell.
This behavior is too weird.
Xiao Ji frowned and took a look, decisively giving up the idea of sending them back to the inn now.
According to the Prime Minister's style, he might have arranged some kind of ambush on the road, but he didn't bring too many people out, so he didn't dare to be vague.
