Chapter 273: Envoys of Other Countries
Just like before, if the emperor has a problem that cannot be solved in the court, he will definitely find Zhuang Mingyue to solve it.
Although Zhuang Mingyue is not able to help the emperor solve things every time, it is completely acceptable to come up with some ideas, or guide the emperor to think of solutions in other directions.
Because Zhuang Mingyue knew that although she was now completely relying on these political talents, she would be appreciated by the emperor like this.
But in the same way, Zhuang Mingyue knows more about what it means to be a companion like a tiger, she needs to solve problems for the emperor from time to time, and in addition to this, she can't let the emperor be vigilant about her talents.
However, in the final analysis, although the emperor has never been too resistant to women's politics, he is extremely lax about women's real power, just because he is relieved.
It is precisely because of this that the emperor can give Zhuang Mingyue trust so unscrupulously, and let her directly get so much in such a short period of time.
The white horse passed through the gap, and in an instant, this scorching summer finally ushered in the hottest summer season.
In the Tiansheng Dynasty, every time it comes to this midsummer season, it will usher in batches of envoys from vassal countries to Beijing.
Most of the envoys of these vassal countries or other countries did no more than these two things when they entered Beijing.
The first is to present treasures to the Tiansheng Dynasty and the offerings of other countries, and the second is to marry a princess who is begged by the emperor for friendship, so as to seek friendly relations between the two countries in the future.
Not long after the emperor agreed to these envoys and sent them to the city in advance, the ordinary people in the imperial city would see some strange costumes from time to time, obviously not from their own country in and out of the imperial city.
Although some of them, whether they are in appearance or dress, they are indeed similar to what they wear and dress. But even so, everyone could still see the difference between them and the people in the Tiansheng Dynasty.
And Zhuang Mingyue is now the lord of Qinghe County, so he should naturally participate in the reception of envoys from other countries.
So when she came to the palace, she came to a somewhat chaotic scene, especially with many of them with strange accents because they were from other countries.
Although it is said that since the envoys can become messengers, they will naturally have some good language skills and the ability to win people's hearts.
Otherwise, such envoys who represent the face of a country are not something that everyone can do.
Zhuang Mingyue, who was secretly looking at everyone, had not finished looking at everyone before his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by one person.
"Dare to ask if this is the county lord of Qinghe?"
Zhuang Mingyue, who was interrupted from her thoughts, raised her eyes when she heard the words, and saw that the other party was a man who was dressed quite gracefully and luxuriously, but was obviously not a man from the Tiansheng Dynasty, and was saluting her with a smile.
Zhuang Mingyue, who didn't mind that her thoughts were interrupted by this, bowed to him, "It's indeed Qinghe, but please forgive Qinghe for being stupid, dare to ask the adult, but ......"
The man who picked up the conversation smiled at Zhuang Mingyue again, and then introduced in a gentle tone: "I am the messenger sent by the Shunqi Kingdom this time, named Qi Feng, and I hope that the friendship between the county lord Tiansheng and my Shunqi can last for a long time." ”
Xu is because this person's attitude is quite gentle, Zhuang Mingyue's impression of this person is indeed good.
"It turned out to be the envoy of Qi, it was Qinghe who was far away, this time the adult who could be such a reasonable person came to be a good friend, and that day Sheng Tongshun Qi thought that it would naturally be able to continue to get along with each other for a long time."
Zhuang Mingyue, who also had a shallow smile, responded without the slightest rudeness.
"Qinghe County Lord ......" Qi Feng, who still wanted to say something, had not yet spoken his words, and he could hear that the eunuch at the banquet hall had already begun to attract people to take a seat.
Seeing this, even if Qi Feng wanted to say something, he still swallowed all the words, "It seems that the banquet has begun, Lord Qinghe, please." ”
Even if Qi Feng is not the master, such a polite attitude still makes Zhuang Mingyue feel quite comfortable. He also smiled and stretched out his hand slightly, and signaled, "Qi envoy, please." ”
Zhuang Mingyue knew that with her special status, it was not a strange thing to gain the attention of envoys from other countries. But if this Qi Feng's attitude towards her was a little weird to her.
Even if her identity is special, at this time, Qi Feng can not take the initiative to talk to her, after all, she is just a county lord in the final analysis. If this person wants to attract the attention of a woman in the royal family.
Then he can completely attract Long Sitong's attention with this handsome face and that gentle and jade-like attitude, and this kind of person who is obviously thoughtful, as long as he is willing, he will definitely be able to completely attract the rather simple gaze of Long Sitong.
You must know that even if she is a person who closes everyone out, she can't have the slightest disgust for Qi Feng with this attitude, and of course, there is absolutely no possibility of any temptation.
After all, after all, it was not easy for her to recognize her heart clearly, and she knew that the person she liked was Long Yuanxiu, and she had already made up her mind to take the initiative.
Then it is absolutely impossible for her to change her mind because of Qi Feng, who ran out so suddenly.
On the contrary, it will make her out of vigilance, and put this person in the ranks of those who can be friends but not deep friends.
After all, in the final analysis, a person with this kind of character, even Zhuang Mingyue herself, didn't dare to say that she would definitely be able to understand his mind, so let alone say that she would have a deep friendship with him.
Zhuang Mingyue, who had this thought in her heart, also followed behind everyone and slowly walked into the banquet hall.
I have to say that the Tiansheng Dynasty is really prosperous, Zhuang Mingyue, who just stepped into the palace, saw the prosperous decoration and the endless sound of silk and bamboo surrounded his ears, which made Zhuang Mingyue feel luxurious.
However, in addition to entertaining foreign envoys, it is natural that it is necessary to show the demeanor of a great power.
Zhuang Mingyue, who had this mentality, was already sitting in her place under the guidance of the palace maid.
"Lord Qinghe, you and I are really fateful, and even the location of the arrangement is so close."
Zhuang Mingyue, who had just sat down, hadn't looked around, when she heard this voice not far from her side, she turned her head sideways to look, and saw that the person sitting next to her was really Qi Feng, who had just met outside.
"Envoy Qi, today we are all guests at this banquet, and it is natural for us to meet
Target. Although Zhuang Mingyue had a good impression of him, she didn't want to have too much contact with him, just because Zhuang Mingyue consciously couldn't figure out this person's mind.
Even if Qi Feng, who was rejected by the twists and turns, his expression changed instantly, but before this change was presented in the eyes of others, Qi Feng had already hidden this change.
"What the county lord of Qinghe said is very true, but when the minister sees the county lord again, it is inevitable that he will be a little out of shape." Qi Feng, who said this, kept his eyes on Zhuang Mingyue's body.
"Speaking of which, the minister has heard the deeds of the county lord of Qinghe in Shunqi country, and he has always admired it, and the real person he sees now will inevitably be a little happy, if he does something that the county lord does not like, please forgive the county lord."
In this regard, Zhuang Mingyue couldn't say anything other than answer, "Envoy Qi is polite, it is Qinghe's honor to be appreciated by you, where do you dare to blame you." ”
After hearing Zhuang Mingyue's answer, Qi Feng didn't mention this topic anymore, but just stirred up some Tiansheng customs, or interesting things in recent days to chat with Zhuang Mingyue.
And Zhuang Mingyue is now the county lord, that is, a member of the royal family, and the Shunqi country, which is comparable to the Tiansheng Dynasty, naturally has to treat each other well.
After about half a pillar of incense, the emperor finally stood in the main hall from the back of the hall under the support of the harem, "Today, you come on behalf of all countries, it is my honor to be prosperous, and I hope that you will be good friends in the future." ”
The emperor, who said this, immediately raised his hand and swallowed the wine in the wine bottle in his hand.
When everyone saw that the emperor had already drunk the wine, they also raised their hands and drank the wine in their cups.
"Good!" The emperor, who shouted softly, clapped his hands immediately, "Dance." ”
As the emperor's words fell, everyone saw a group of dancing girls in bewitching red dresses, dancing in from outside the palace gate.
Attracted by this group of bewitching and beautiful dancing girls, the surroundings that were still a little whispering gradually became quiet, and their eyes fell on the dancing girls.
Zhuang Mingyue looked at the dancers who could be called stunning in both appearance and figure, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"If I were a man, I was afraid that I would not be able to hold it." Zhuang Mingyue, who admired the beauty in front of her, couldn't help but sigh.
"What does the county lord say? What can't be controlled? ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who was drinking, suddenly heard Qi Feng's inquiry, and couldn't help but choke on a small sip, "cough, cough, cough......"
Seeing that Zhuang Mingyue was choked by Qi Feng, he hurriedly took a handkerchief from the side and handed it over, "It was the minister who disturbed the county lord, it really shouldn't be." ”
After coughing a few times in succession, Zhuang Mingyue regained her senses, "Cough...... It doesn't matter, it's Qinghe who is greedy and drinks a few more sips, why doesn't the Qi envoy appreciate this dance? ”
Qi Feng, who was asked, saw that Zhuang Mingyue had eased up, so he shook his head lightly, "Beauty is beautiful, but beauty is confusing, but it is not the beauty of this kind of skin inside." ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who didn't expect him to say this, raised her hand and handed back the handkerchief that Qi Feng had just handed over, "Qi envoy Gao Jian, Qinghe has never had such depth. ”
