After the jubilant and noisy atmosphere, the New Year became more and more intense. By the third day of the Chinese New Year, relatives from all over the world came to their homes and surprisingly they were very interested in playing mahjong. The royal palace almost became a mahjong venue.

It seems that the Spring Festival is the same as the Spring Festival in later generations when playing mahjong.

The poems in the past seem to be the core of the royal palace. Many matters in the royal palace are required to be handled by her.

But when she was playing mahjong, He Qian seemed to be the core, because she was the most lively and jumped up and down, and everyone liked such people.

Yelu Yali, who had just moved into the royal palace, was a little lonely. Li Xingzhou invited Yelu Dashi to the mansion to celebrate the New Year. After all, they were helpless in Jingguo, but Yelu Dashi was more willing to talk to several old generals in the border area, and the topic they discussed was incompatible with their daughter's house.

Yelu Yali is not as good as Puchaling's words in Chinese as she is stupider to play mahjong, so she likes riding horses and shooting archery, so she naturally can't play the same place with everyone.

On the morning of the third year of the Chinese New Year, Li Xingzhou came out of the New Army camp, rode Meixue and led a chestnut horse. He was shorter than Meixue, but he looked handsome and beautiful, with a light and agile horse hooves.

This is one of the many Mongolian horses Li Xingzhou bought from Mongolia, and has already been put on a beautiful saddle.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, it was very lively inside. Li Xingzhou asked his personal soldiers to watch Mei Xue and Xiao Ma, and then went to the backyard.

The yard was very lively, and several tables of mahjong were set up. Li Xingzhou soon saw Yelu Yali standing aside and unable to speak. She was a little cold-hearted. She frowned, as if she wanted to try hard to understand and integrate, but she still couldn't adapt to this atmosphere.

I tried to speak again and again, but my lips and teeth opened, and the words came to my mouth and fell back.

Seeing this, Li Xingzhou was not alarmed by everyone who was excited, quietly walked around the corridor and walked behind Yelu Yali, who was a little lonely, and quietly held her cold little hand.

Yelu Yali turned around, then was startled, and Li Xingzhou made a gesture to tell her not to speak out? Then he quietly pulled her out of the backyard.

I arrived at the front door in a short while.

When Yelu Yali saw the beautiful chestnut pony led by his personal soldiers? His beautiful eyes lit up instantly.

"I promised to give you a gift." Li Xingzhou took the reins? He called it into her hands.

Yelu Yali jumped up almost with joy.

"Let's go?                                                                                                                            

Yelu Yali got on the horse excitedly, his movements were casual and skillful? Then he rode his horse and whipped out of the house.

Horse riding is not allowed in Kaiyuan City? Except for some people with special chores, or people with great power.

When he was a prince who was in power in the past, if he dared to run on the street like this, He Zhao would definitely criticize and fight if he was caught by him. But now he is running? He Zhao must not dare to criticize and fight? This is the power of power.

The streets of the third year of junior high school are empty and there are no one. Everyone is celebrating the New Year. Yelu Yali is so happy that she keeps galloping faster, and the sound of horse hooves is crisp and fast.

Li Xingzhou didn't stop her, but slapped Meixue to let it follow? The personal soldiers behind him also hurriedly followed.

These aroused Meixue's competitive spirit, and it followed Yelu Yali's pony closely? It was very relaxed at the beginning, but it was taller? It ran fast and kept up with the pony in front of it.

But as the horse galloped out of the city? Running towards the river? The longer it ran, the longer it was? Meixue began to pant. After running for almost half an hour, you could see the frozen river in the distance. Meixue's horse's hooves had slowed down and she began to unable to keep up with Yelu Yali's pony.

However, it did not admit defeat and was still moving forward with a groaning effort. By the time the frozen river was around, Meixue had already started to breathe heavily and her speed dropped significantly.

Racing all the way, making it unable to hold on, and then running at full speed may hurt it, Li Xingzhou asked it to stop.

On the far side of the river, Yelu Yali's crisp laughter came. She rode a pony and was still galloping on the ice, running until the opposite side of the river that she couldn't see the figure before she ran back.

Mei Xue was very unwilling to give up and sniffed at the pony, but she only cared about eating grass and ignored it.

This is another advantage of Mongolian horses besides their endurance advantages. They are hard-working and not picky about food. They can also eat dead grass roots by the river in winter.

Yelu Yali was very happy and jumped off the horse's back excitedly. He almost fell down accidentally. Li Xingzhou quickly reached out to hold her.

"I like this gift, thank you!" Yelu Yali said happily, and his mood also improved.

"I see that you don't like the environment in the mansion very much. If you are bored in the future, you can find He Qian to ride a horse and let the guards of the royal palace accompany you." Li Xingzhou said.

Yelu Yali held his big hand in both hands and shook his head, "No, I like it very much, but I'm a little stupid, I can't learn..."

She looked at the sky with some melancholy: "The people in the mansion are very good and treat me well. I cherish them very much, but sometimes I don't know how to get along with them.

Compared to those who want to kill me all the time and want to use my life to exchange for wealth, the royal palace is very good, and everyone treats me very well.

But I don’t speak well in Chinese, and sometimes I can’t talk to everyone well. I always feel guilty and sorry for their kindness.”

Li Xingzhou was stunned and then thought of Yelu Yali's experience. As a princess who lost her country, she experienced fear of saving her life, betrayal, betrayal, and even life-threatening danger with her for a long time. For her, the royal palace was indeed very good.

So she is very content, can feel the kindness of people around her, and wants to work hard to integrate into everyone.

Li Xingzhou raised his hand and pinched her cheeks, wanting to laugh but couldn't laugh, "Don't force it, you are you, just do yourself well, don't force change for others."

Yelu Yali shook his head, let go of his hand, and held the pony next to him: "No, he is unwilling to be strict with himself and unwilling to give to others' kindness. That is a willful and ignorant person, not a good person." The little girl retorted.

"Your Highness will be the master of Jing Kingdom in the future and the master of the whole world. Then you can do your best and make the world accommodate you. But I think if you want to get along well with the people around you, everyone will always accommodate you.

If Sister He Qian can ride a horse with me, I have to learn to play cards with her; if Sister He Qian can teach me Chinese, I have to teach her to ride a horse so that we can get along well, otherwise she will always accommodate me, and she will always do more, and it will be bad if she gets along for a long time...

I am not a heartless person, nor am I an ignorant willful princess.

Just like Your Highness has done a lot for me, I want you to do a lot, but I...... I think about it, you are the smartest and most powerful person in the world. The vicious Jin people are not your opponent. The wealth in the royal palace is so numerous that it cannot be used. Your Highness's power will eventually make the people in the world pay the upper hand...

So I... I can't do anything except to please His Highness and give birth to offenders." When she said this, her face turned slightly red, not knowing whether it was cold or shy.

The emperor and the empress have already arranged it, and Yelu Yali was officially allowed to pass the family on the eighth day of the lunar month. The identity of the princess of the Liao Kingdom has a great effect on appeaseing the north.

Li Xingzhou stepped forward and surrounded her waist, and the personal soldiers behind her avoided her.

"Well, it's great that you think so. I'll teach you how to have children in the future. If you have children, you can teach them to ride horses and shoot arrows." Li Xingzhou said.

Yelu Yali shrank back and buried himself in his chest: "But I can't take care of the child. I'm afraid I can't take care of it well. I want to learn from Gillian and Shiyu Sister. The nurses don't let me learn it. It's a filthy thing. If you get too close, you will get sick from Yin Qi."

Li Xingzhou laughed: "Don't listen to their nonsense, but it's really hard to take care of the children. You can learn it yourself in the future."

Yelu Yali nodded with a red face.

After resting for a while, I ran a few laps on the river, then went to the pavilion by the river to rest, and quenched my thirst with the wine I carried with me.

Of course, Li Xingzhou came to the riverside today and not only took Yelu Yali out for a walk.

While teasing Yelu Yali in the pavilion and connecting with feelings, he looked to the south.

After a long time, a group of people came from afar, all walking, and the leaders were Fang Xin and two others followed, followed by three people with a panic look behind them.

Several people entered the pavilion and saluted him. Fang Xin said, "Your Highness, you brought all the three of you."

The three of them looked panicked and were officially identified by Li Xingzhou as officials who were in contact with the Xia Kingdom envoy.

It is not a secret that Fang Xin is the prince's grandson. After all, Tingyulou is the property of Prince Xiao's Mansion, everyone knows that everyone is afraid to refuse when Fang Xin comes to the door and says that the prince's grandson is invited. Although they don't understand why they are invited by the prince's grandson, they also have some expectations in their hearts.

But I didn't expect that they would actually invite them out of the city and go to a pavilion by the river. There were many personal soldiers guarding them outside the pavilion, and they suddenly became uneasy.

Li Xingzhou hugged Yelu Yali, asked them to sit down at will, and then spoke: "I heard that you have been very close to the envoy of Xia Kingdom recently."

When the three of them heard this, they were frightened and quickly knelt down to defend themselves. It was the envoy of Xia Kingdom who came to the door unilaterally. They were not able to drive people away for the sake of hospitality, but they confiscated any benefits and did not disclose any secrets of the court.

Li Xingzhou waved his hand and smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. Do I blame you? Besides, if you want to disclose the secrets of the court, you must also know the secrets of the court."

When the few people heard this, they were stunned. Yes, with their official ranks and positions, they knew nothing about the court secrets. They would not discuss the important matters of the court. After looking at each other, they suddenly felt heartbroken again.

"Then...what is that Your Highness asked us to do."

Li Xingzhou said: "I know what the envoy of Xia Kingdom wants to do, so I want you to help. This is a major national event."

When they heard about national affairs, several people cheered up.

"The envoys of Xia Kingdom approached you just because you are officials of the Ministry of War. They wanted to inquire about the intentions of our country Jing Kingdom. Since this is the case, you need to 'inadvertently' to release some news to confuse the audio-visual of Xia Kingdom people." Li Xingzhou said that the reason why he asked these people out on the third day of the Lunar New Year was that the envoys of various countries were attending a banquet in the palace at this time.

The emperor spoke, and the envoys from various countries dared not not to go, and the people of Xia were the same. They did not look like people outside the city.

"But today's matters must be kept confidential. Those who were present at the beginning must not be spread. After the matter is completed, I will remember the merits of the three adults. Do you understand?"

The three of them nodded repeatedly, and the oldest one said excitedly: "Don't worry, your highness, even if we die, we will never let others know. If you have any questions, just give me orders and go through fire and water without hesitation!"

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to get closer to the relationship with the prince. The two younger officials also look like they are doing their business and are not too embarrassed. As old officials in the officialdom, they don’t know what the face is. They please stand by them so quickly.

Li Xingzhou nodded: "If the people of Xia show goodwill to you next time, you pretend to refuse and accept all the bribes and use them yourself.

If they ask other things, you are vague. If you ask whether Jing State has any intention to send troops, you will say there is."

The three of them nodded repeatedly.

"But you can't just say it directly, otherwise it will be too fake and difficult to win the trust, because it is unlikely that your official position will be directly heard by the court's most confidential decisions. You should suggest that you should start from other places and make them believe it."

One of them hesitated, "Just say what I heard from a friend?"

"Or I have a friend who works in the Ministry of Revenue Department. I heard that some supplies, grain and grass are dispatched to the northwest?"

"You can teach me!" Li Xingzhou said happily: "Just say that, we can start from all aspects and imply that we may have to send troops to the Xia people."

"If they ask about the direction of the troops, you will say that you can use Fengxiang Mansion and Hezhong Mansion as the support to send troops from south to north, with the targets in Huizhou, Jingsai, Yancheng, Hongzhou Shilijing, Niuxinting, and Yongle City." After Li Xingzhou said that, he looked confused and said something again.

This is not surprising. They are marginalized officials and are difficult to contact with major national affairs. It is reasonable to not understand the situation in Xia State. They can't remember so many names at once.

After a few people slowly remembered it, Li Xingzhou continued: "You can't say anything here directly, so the people of Xia should try their best to believe it.

As he said that, he pointed to the official on the far left. Your family lives on the other side of the Wangfu River and is closest to the Wangfu Mansion. When talking to the people of Xia, you can use this to make an article, say that you hear it by accident, or talk to the manager of the Wangfu Mansion and talk by accident, etc., and think of reasons for yourself."

"I understand, please rest assured by your highness!" the man bowed.

Then Li Xingzhou pointed to the official among the three and said, "You are from the side of the royal family of De Gong, De Gong was the prime minister of the dynasty, and my concubine was also Wang. When you talk to the people of Xia, you should make a fuss about this point and emphasize your identity more, so that it will make it easier for the people of Xia to believe it."

The young man bowed and agreed.

As he said that, he looked at the oldest man, Shi Shizhong, the doctor of the Ministry of War, and was a fifth-rank official, second only to the Ministry of War and Tongzhi.

"As for Lord Shi, I have seen that among all the people in contact with Xia people, you have the largest official position.

They probably think you can get a lot of information, so you don’t have to worry so much. If the people of Xia asked, you ask for a bribe, ask for more, and then tell them.

The more you ask for, the more they believe that you don’t have to pay the bribes, you can keep them yourself.”

Shi Shizhong quickly bowed and thanked him and said that he would definitely complete the task.

Then Li Xingzhou explained some details to them, such as not being able to communicate with the royal palace in the future, not being too direct to the people of Xia, and being willing to refuse, and then hesitate when revealing information, solicit more bribes, such as hang them for a few days before revealing some.

When you disclose the news, you can reveal it separately, say something today, say one day tomorrow, and get more bribes, so that the truth can be made and not let the Xia people become suspicious, etc.

After more than two hours of explanation, Li Xingzhou assured them that after the matter was completed, he would remember all three of them.

The three of them then said goodbye excitedly.

In this way, he arranged another thing, which was to throw smoke bombs on the Xia people to confuse their audio-visual activities. I don’t know whether it can work.
Chapter completed!
