Elizabeth Serena waited in the palace for about a stick of incense, holding a hot soup with unknown contents in her hand. An old man with white beard and hair, dressed in luxurious clothes, followed the palace maid Nina and walked in with a strange look on her face. In the palace.
The old man was wearing a moon-white robe made of indiscernible fabric, and an official hat inlaid with a purple gem on his head. Although he was slightly older, he was very energetic. He was the emperor of Tsarist Russia. Minister Urinen.
"Urinen meets Her Majesty the Queen."
Elizabeth put down the steaming hot soup in her hand and nodded slightly.
"No need to be polite, just sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Elizabeth Serena looked at Urinen's strange expression that was a little different from before, and a hint of suspicion flashed in her beautiful light blue eyes.
"Sir, today's heavy snow has covered the entire city of Gullah. If you don't accompany your family at home to avoid the severe cold in such bad weather, why are you here?"
Urinen heard Serena's question. As soon as he sat down, he took out a rolled parchment from under his robe and handed it to Serena.
"Your Majesty the Queen, Count Gogolov, the general guarding the south gate of the Royal City, sent a letter. It is about the important matter of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Dragon Kingdom sending the Great Dragon Envoy to our Tsarist Russia to establish friendly relations with us.
After receiving the letter from Count Gogolov, the veteran immediately took the letter with him and rushed to the palace in a carriage to meet His Majesty without any hesitation. "
"Friendly relations?"
"Yes, I think the friendly relations between the Dalong Kingdom and the Great Dragon Country should mean peaceful coexistence and being friends with each other."
Serena nodded thoughtfully, and then her face suddenly looked at the parchment in Urinen's hand in astonishment.
"What did you say? Great Dragon Kingdom?"
"Yes, my Majesty the Queen."
Serena's grease-like neck slid a few times, as if she heard something incredible, and she looked blankly at Urinen, who had a strange expression.
"Sir, is the Great Dragon Kingdom you are talking about the same Great Dragon Kingdom that I have cursed every day?"
Urinen looked at the disbelief on the pretty face of the Russian Empress and nodded strangely.
"Your Majesty the Queen, if my guess is correct, this great dragon country that has come to make friends with us is most likely the same great dragon country that you have to curse every day to calm down.
I can't guarantee whether it is the veteran. This is a letter from Count Gogolov. Your Majesty, you will know after reading it yourself. "
The Empress of Tsarist Russia took the parchment from Urinen and nodded, looking at it. After a while, Serena put the parchment on the table.
"Coming from the south, it is also called the Great Dragon Kingdom. If nothing else happens, the Great Dragon Kingdom that Gogolov mentioned should be the Great Dragon Kingdom that I have to curse every day.
It’s just that I don’t understand why the Emperor of Dalong would take the initiative to make friends with us since we are obviously hostile to them.
You must know that according to the news brought back by the Slavs, the Dragon Kingdom still imprisons tens of thousands of our warriors!
At this time, they actually come to make friends with us. Is there any conspiracy? "
Urinen looked at Serena's bewildered expression, raised his hand and grabbed the naturally curled beard on his chin and began to think deeply.
After a long time, Urinen still couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only shake his head silently at the Queen of Tsarist Russia.
"Your Majesty the Queen, I can't figure out what Emperor Dalong's intention is."
"This...then do you think the Great Dragon Kingdom's intentions this time are good or evil?"
"Your Majesty the Queen, according to what Duke Slav and others told after they came back, after the defeat of Dalong, the two Dukes of Slav and Ledev were captured by the soldiers and horses of the Dalong Kingdom and brought to a place they called Dalong Capital. I met His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Dragon Kingdom.
His Majesty the Emperor of Dalong did not embarrass them, but released them intact. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince of Dalong Kingdom also asked them to bring back a lot of jewelry that His Majesty could not put down as gifts for you. .
From this point of view, Dalong's current attitude towards our Tsarist Russia is quite friendly.
Especially this time they took the initiative to send an envoy to Tsarist Russia to have friendly relations with us. According to our captured soldiers following the Dalong Kingdom mission, the Dalong Mission only brought more than 3,000 soldiers and horses this time.
If Dalong Kingdom was hostile, it shouldn't bring only this few troops, right?
Therefore, the veteran feels that the Great Dragon Kingdom should be friendly this time. Of course, it does not rule out that this is a trick of the Great Dragon Kingdom.
The old minister suggested that we should connect with them and then act according to the situation to see if we can find out from the mouths of the Dalong Mission the current status of our captured soldiers and horses. "
The Empress of Tsarist Russia picked up the parchment and read the contents again.
"Sir, do you think this emperor should receive the envoy from the Great Dragon Kingdom?"
"Returning to your Majesty, I suggest that your Majesty do this because the families of our soldiers who were captured by the dragon have a lot of complaints against you and the nobles.
In particular, there are many nobles among the captured soldiers, and we cannot ignore their influence.
If we can learn about the current situation of our soldiers from the mouth of the dragon messenger, at least we can give an explanation to the families of those soldiers in the future. "
Elizabeth Serena was silent for a long time and nodded thoughtfully.
"Okay, you go and arrange this matter. The emperor will receive the envoy from the Great Dragon Kingdom as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty is wise, I retire."
After watching Urineen leave, Serena lowered her head and looked at the parchment in her hand. She leaned on her weak and boneless waist and pulled out a piece of rice paper from under the inkstone on the side of the table to compare it with the parchment in her hand. .
Carefully comparing the gorgeous rice paper and the rough parchment, Serena frowned and muttered to herself.
"The Great Dragon Kingdom, the royal court of the Western Turks, has inexhaustible gold, silver and jewelry, the four treasures of the study, rice paper, silk, tea, and all kinds of rare and strange treasures that this emperor has never heard of or seen, and new and strange objects all come from this great country. Dragon Kingdom.
Especially Slavic, incompetent guys like Ledev were so frightened when they mentioned this great dragon kingdom after they came back, as if they had seen the devil from hell.
Why are there so many treasures in a place that scares the Slavs?
What kind of place is it there? "
After muttering the questions in her mind to herself, Serena put down the rice paper and parchment in her hand and looked at the palace maid Nina.
"Nina, serve the emperor to change into the palace attire for receiving distinguished guests."
"Yes, by the way, Your Majesty, will you still wear those phoenix crowns and harems given to you by Prince Dalong?"
"Of course we will wear our own palace clothes."
"But Your Majesty, you don't like those made of delicate and soft silk the most..."
Elizabeth Serena sat up, walked towards Nina, and tapped Nina's forehead a few times with her fingers.
"Are you stupid? When you receive the envoy from Dalong, you are wearing the phoenix crown and harem clothes and jewelry sent by their country. Doesn't it seem that this emperor and our Tsarist Russia have never seen good things?
The emperor reported that when he met the nobles of our country in the evening, he wore those phoenix crowns and harems sent by the dragon silk, and those dazzling jewelry from the dragon country, in order to make their female relatives who do not have these dragon items envy the emperor.
However, Dalong is the place where these items are produced. Wearing their gifts to meet their envoys, do you want to embarrass the emperor? "
“I don’t dare, I don’t dare, I don’t dare, I know I’m wrong.
Your Majesty, your servant will bring you our palace clothes in a moment. "
Serena glanced down at her flawlessly fair skin, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across Nina's pretty face.
"etc."
"Your Majesty the Queen?"
"Close-fitting...close-fitting clothes, I wear those made from dragon silk. Anyway, if we wear our own clothes outside, no one else can see them!"
"ah?"
"Ah what? Go quickly."
"Yes Yes Yes."
After Nina ran towards the back of the palace, Serena looked around the palace furtively, bent down and took out a wooden box made of sandalwood under the table and placed it on the bearskin carpet.
The sandalwood box was gently opened by Serena. Under the illumination of the oil lamp, a phoenix crown with dazzling light and exquisite craftsmanship was held in the palm of Serena's hand.
After staring at the phoenix crown with breathtaking craftsmanship for a while, Serena picked up a phoenix-head emerald hairpin from the sandalwood box and held it between her fingers, looking at it with a flash of light in her charming light blue eyes. Reluctant look.
"Why are they the envoys from the Great Dragon Kingdom? I am so angry that I cannot wear these clothes.
Liu Chengfeng, the eldest prince of Dalong Kingdom? How could the name be so strange and simple? The prince of a country doesn't even have a distinguished surname?
By the way, this time I can carefully ask Liu Chengfeng what he is like from the mouth of the dragon messenger. "
