Chapter 1015: King of Kings, King of Worlds
"God, it's so rich, it's so many. This must be the second city in China after Jinling. Constantinople doesn't seem to be any bigger! ”
The city of Rome has fallen for hundreds of years, and Constantinople, which inherited Roman civilization, was the largest and most civilized city in Europe during this period. Of course, this is also the city that the Rus' aristocracy can most 'accurately' recognize.
"My dear Premislava, the city of Chang'an in front of us is only an important town in the western part of China, and it is not the economic center of Chinese. Not only is it far worse than the Chinese capital, but it can't even enter the top ten in China itself. You must not have carefully read the information I gave you, otherwise you would not think that Chang'an City is the second city in China after Jinling! ”
"Mother spared me, God knows how hard I worked, I can already talk to my teacher in Chinese. But those abominable square words, I really need more time to figure them out. ”
A little blonde and blue-eyed beauty looked at the noble lady in front of her with a pleading face. The latter also has golden hair, deep facial features and fair skin, and a magnificent chest that cannot be concealed even if he is wearing Hanfu.
But what is even more rare is her figure, she already has such a big daughter, and she can still maintain a bumpy figure, which is something that nine out of nine Ross women can't do.
"I also hope that you can relax and have a pleasant trip in this strange capital. But, my child, you know your mission. Therefore, you must master Chinese dictation in the shortest possible time, and then when you arrive in Jinling, you can devote yourself to the study of oriental court etiquette. It's very, very complicated etiquette, and it's completely different from the aristocratic etiquette you've been exposed to in the past, and it's not comparable to the ones you now only learn about languages. ”
The lady's attitude was very sincere. His daughter is about to become the princess of the prince of the Great Qi Empire, although it is impossible to be a concubine, but this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Now, it's not just her daughter who is learning Chinese, she's learning along. Because as a widow who had lost her husband, she had to accompany her daughter to Jinling.
Everything was done to be able to get a better impression from His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qi, who was the true King of Kings, the King of the World.
He ruled over a territory far beyond the reach of the legendary Alexander and Caesar. God knows how shocked he was when he saw that map......
That's a true king who wants to rule the whole world! The glory of the Lord will be inferior before him.
With a population of more than 10,000,000, the land is incomparably vast, and the vast ocean is its inner lake! Just think about it, and soon see this conqueror of the world, and her whole body will be wet.
A deity who lives on earth......
And China, ruled by this noble god, is truly the center of the world!
"Well, the Chinese are so crazy, they actually ripped off the city walls! Kyiv has a complete wall. ”
"Plemyslava, don't you understand that? There is no need for city walls here, and the cities of the Great Qi Empire do not need city walls at all. Because the Chinese have the most powerful army in the world, no enemy will ever reach the core of their homeland, except in captives. ”
"Just like us, aren't we prisoners of the Chinese? It was only because I had Rurik's blood in my veins and had what they needed that I did not become their slave like the other nobles. And she became the princess of the Great Qi Prince......"
The reality is so cruel, the reason why this beautiful little girl in front of her was comfortably sent to Jinling all the way was because she had the blood of the Rurik family on her body.
And Lu Qi's prince is also going to divide the feudal kingdom at the very least, and now he suddenly has an extra concubine with the blood of the Rurik family, the reason is unknown. The Chinese just want to use her to appease the Rus.
The little beauty is not very old, but she is not really ignorant. As her mother said, she really has a lot of expectations on her. No one is not afraid of death, and in the face of the sword, faith is really fragile.
What's more, during the Crusades in history, there were not too many European nobles who were imprisoned by the Celestials. It was like a kind of seniority and aura to show off, and Saladin's prison was once overcrowded.
In this case, why was it impossible for the Rus to surrender? Historically, they were able to submit to the Mongols, and now they can also submit to the Luqi.
Mstislava Vladimirovna looked at her beautiful daughter and sighed, "My Premyslava ......" Is it pity or luck?
If God Himself had not appeared to save His people, she believed that there would be more such beings as her own daughter.
As she gets along more with the teachers around her, she has a better understanding of China. - The teachers were from the Royal First Girls' School, also Europeans, who were sold to China as slave girls, but because of their outstanding language talents, they were selected as teachers to become foreign language teachers in girls' schools, teaching Latin, and introducing European history and customs.
Now they traveled thousands of miles to Rus', and then, on their way back to Middle-earth, they served as teachers to the mother and daughter of Mstislava Vladimirovna and Premislava Vladimirovna, teaching them Chinese and briefly introducing the customs of the Orient and the corresponding aristocratic etiquette.
They entered Luoyang from Chang'an, then took a boat from Kaifeng to Liangshanbo, and then took the canal all the way south, the scenery along the way was very beautiful, and a completely different style from Ross had a great attraction for Vladimirovna's mother and daughter.
After all, although they are nervous, the most basic bottom line is there. After all, what awaits them is the glory and wealth that mortals can't see, not a severed meal, in this case, they are forced to study tightly, and they also have the leisure to see the scenery and enjoy the scenery.
It was an eye-opener.
City after city, country after village, flat plain as far as the eye can see, farmland everywhere, people everywhere. What's more, with such a large population, there is no one with a cabbage, ragged, thin and withered face. I didn't see a single beggar......
It's a world beyond their imagination. A world without hunger, without poverty, without hardship, the life of the Rus' people is really not human compared to the people living here.
In the worldview of mother and daughter, the only thing that is like this is heaven. Heaven is not of this world, but what about now?
"Heaven on earth, this is really heaven on earth......"
The shock on Mstislava's face slowly subsided, and she became more and more nervous as she got closer to Jinling. "My precious daughter, the beauty of China can only be described as 'heaven'. And the Chinese Emperor you are about to face is the supreme lord in this whole heaven. He can give you happiness and he can give you suffering, he can give you peace and he can make you suffer......"
