"..."
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 befriend Fang Jun and ensure his safety?
Isn't this betrayal?
She couldn't accept it...
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 There are only two of you and me. Since we 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 with a prince or the queen of a powerful minister... My sister is a descendant of Silla. 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, my 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 lip tightly, and pearl-like tears fell in strings between her long eyelashes.
Why did the Jin 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 arrives at Honglu Temple, where the Queen of Silla will stay for a while. After bathing and changing clothes, she will enter the palace to see the emperor.
The place where we stayed was the guest house prepared for envoys from various countries in Honglu Temple all year round. Although it was clean and spacious, the decoration was not gorgeous. The Tang Dynasty treated envoys from various countries with courtesy and was not arrogant, but it did not spend huge sums of money. The habit of building 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 Confucians 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 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 Dynasty royal family and only used the personal maids he brought from Silla.
Several maids waited on her to take 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: "I am afraid that the princess's personality, talent and appearance will 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 some of you first... Tang Dynasty people are very romantic, especially those scholars who pay attention to red sleeves and fragrant reading at night. They flock to Silla maids like you. If you have a good color, you may be able to sell it at a good price."
The expressions of the maids stiffened and they quickly shut up.
Whether in the Tang Dynasty or Silla, the status of maidservants was low, almost like livestock, and they were all the property of the family owner. If Jin Shengman really wanted to sell them, it was just a matter of words. And it was well known to the whole world that the Tang Dynasty people liked Silla maids. It would be fine if they fell into a family with a kind-hearted personality. If they met a violent and perverted one, then I was so humiliated that I didn’t even know how I died...
Jin Shengman raised his 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 white legs looming.
Then there was a light cyan tulle 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 Shande had already finished washing her clothes. She was dressed dignifiedly and was drinking tea with the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and the evil thief Fang Jun.
As she walked into the hall, the girl's keen 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, don't you still want 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 among the royal children. A wonderful son-in-law, who has achieved a lasting marriage between the Tang Dynasty and Xinluo, 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 man? !
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 advised the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would have no reason to refute him, and the matter was 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 toward her and was seeking revenge. If it's the former, it's no problem, but if it's the latter, then this person will deliberately find a dandy husband for his sister. Then, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will say so, how can 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 he is also the lord of Silla. No matter when, The Tang Dynasty will respect the wishes of its subordinates. If there is a person of interest in the Tang Dynasty who wants to form a couple, 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 bitterly, this man is really hateful!
Queen Seondeok was also reassured and praised: "Your Highness has a kind, generous and gentle heart, 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 Shande nodded and said, "Just like this, I don't dare to 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'm 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 Tang Dynasty later, remember to be careful in your words and deeds and don't be willful. If anything goes wrong, Jin Shengman will be killed." 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 Tang Dynasty, but I couldn't let it go like this when Fang Jun scared him recently. Keep this account in mind for the time being, and one day I will eventually get it back with interest!
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 could Queen Seondeok know what she was thinking?
Wen Yan felt relieved, walked out of the hall, boarded the carriage, and escorted by many Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty, marched along the spacious and grand Sky Street to Chengtian Gate and entered the Tai Chi Palace.
