Youzhou.
In the Beicheng Palace, the buds of locust trees are beginning to appear, and the snow on the green tiles of the palace wall gradually turns into water, dripping down along the eaves of the tiles.
The remaining snow on the road was muddy and soaked the stone bricks on the ground, but it was swept away by the palace staff, making it look extremely fresh.
Going further inside, there are various well-organized palace rooms. In one of the bedrooms, a rough laugh can be heard.
"Hahahaha - she is indeed a girl from our Yelu family. My eldest niece is as beautiful as my aunts!"
As soon as the loud voice came out, the sparrows resting in the treetops outside were instantly frightened. The expressions of several palace servants waiting outside also became strange.
In the palace, Yelvzhi danced in a long brown dress with a cross-collar waist and sat facing the bronze mirror in front of the window, letting the two elderly ladies next to her put on makeup.
She just sat there quietly. From the back, she looked extremely slender, with half-long brown hair hanging down her back, and two long braids hanging on her cheeks.
She was originally a young woman, but at this time, her girlish beauty had a touch of dignity and elegance.
At this time, two women, one strong and one thin, stood on one side behind Yelu Zhiwu and commented.
"Oh my God, little sister, the more I look at her, the more I feel that my niece looks a lot like me before."
"No, how can we say we are a family?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, then the Emperor of the Central Plains took advantage of the boss and married a flower of our Yelu family for nothing."
"Jiejie, in terms of seniority, the Emperor of the Central Plains will also call us auntie from now on."
…
Seeing that the two people behind them were getting more and more ridiculous, the two old ladies didn't dare to listen anymore. One of them turned around and said politely:
"Two princesses of the Qing Dynasty, the empress needs to change her clothes. How about you..."
"It's easy to talk! We'll go out right away."
Qingguo, who had eyebrow-length bangs and a bright red dress that exposed her belly, slapped her chest loudly and laughed loudly.
Next to her, Qingcheng, who was wearing white clothes and green trousers, held her orchid finger and ordered the two of them: "We must dress up our nieces like gods!"
The two old ladies could not help but nod.
But the two sisters were still uneasy and tilted their heads to look at Yelu Zhiwu behind them.
"My eldest niece, we are outside. If you need anything, just say hello. My aunt will come in right away!"
At this time, Yelv Zhiwu, who had been looking out the window in trance, seemed to have just come back to his senses, and saw a faint smile on the pretty face in the bronze mirror.
"Okay, I'm just trying on the clothes. You can go out first."
In this way, the Qing Dynasty was willing to leave the palace and wait in the side hall.
The two sisters each occupied a chair and seemed to occupy most of the room in an instant. The maids standing here were a little scared, but they still presented them with preserved fruits for the two girls to taste.
"In the blink of an eye, my niece is going to get married——"
Qingcheng put her hands behind her head, stretched out her hand to hold the preserved fruit next to her, and made a sigh of relief.
Qingguo, who was sitting opposite, grabbed a handful of preserved fruit and threw it into his mouth.
"It's not that bad, we aunts are still lagging behind - we sisters are as beautiful as flowers and jade, and we still don't know when we will meet the man we like."
She ate as if she was gulping down the dates and finished the entire plate in an instant. The maid on the side quickly put a few more plates on the table.
"Jiejie, you forgot-"
Qingcheng suddenly became a little shy, and her shrill voice lowered.
"That white-haired young man yesterday..."
"Ouch!"
Qingguo slapped his head violently and stood up excitedly.
"That handsome boy I saw in the carriage yesterday!?"
Qingcheng said shyly: "Yeah."
Qingguo shook his finger with a silly smile on his face: "That boy is so handsome - he is worthy of us!"
After saying that, she made a gesture to leave: "I heard that that boy is the one who negotiated with my sister-in-law and the others. We might be able to meet each other at the inn outside the city now!"
Qingcheng was a little hesitant: "But, Qiwu her..."
"Yes."
Qingguo also paused. The two sisters had always been loyal, and their sister-in-law asked them to accompany their eldest niece. This was like sneaking out to find a man.
The two sisters were instantly entangled.
At this time, steady footsteps suddenly came from outside, followed by some movement.
Faintly, the voice of "Join the Holy One" can be heard.
Qingguo Qingcheng was startled for a moment. Ignoring the looks of several maids in the room, she ran to the door softly, opened a crack in the door and looked out.
Qingguo was the first to turn pale with shock: "Dear me, there are still such men in the world!"
Qingcheng also drooled at the sight: "This man is quite handsome..."
Then, the two people suddenly reacted.
"Is this my niece-in-law? The Emperor of the Central Plains?"
Since he was the eldest niece's man, the two of them immediately lost their thoughts.
Qingguo patted his belly happily: "Old girl, look, the Emperor of the Central Plains is here too, so we don't have to guard Qiwu anymore."
"I think so. Why don't you leave?"
"Let's go."
————
"Get flat."
Outside the palace, Li Jing, who had just finished handling his affairs, was walking down the corridor and called out a few palace servants who were kneeling down to worship him.
But the next moment, he looked keenly at the side hall.
Zhong Xiaokui, who was next to him, observed the words and asked, "Your Majesty?"
"Besides Yelu Zhiwu, is there anyone else in the palace?"
Someone from the palace answered.
"Your Majesty, two princesses from Mobei came to see the empress this morning, and it was the empress who agreed."
Zhong Xiaokui thought for a moment and reported back to Li Jing, who was frowning: "They are two Mobei women named Qingguo and Qingcheng. They are the two sisters of Mobei King Yelu Abaoji."
Li Jing's expression suddenly became a little strange.
But at this time, two more maids from the side hall ran out quickly and bowed to Li Jing in panic.
"Report, please tell me, Your Majesty, two Mobei princesses just ran out over the wall of the back hall."
Zhong Xiaokui was startled, and subconsciously pressed her hand to the handle of the knife at her waist.
Li Jing was silent at first, then smiled easily, and waved his hand: "...Xiao Kui, you personally lead people to keep an eye on them to see what their purpose is. If there is an unknown motive, we will take them down together. If If there’s nothing else, don’t worry about it.”
"According to the order."
Although Zhong Xiaokui was a little strange, she just obeyed the order and left in a hurry.
Li Jing put her hands behind her back and walked slowly inside while asking the maid beside her warmly.
"What is Empress Yelu doing? I haven't been here these days. Does she have any dissatisfaction?"
"The empress is trying on newly woven clothes, and it's rare for someone to dress her up."
"oh?"
Li Jing looked back at the maid behind her who was answering, then with a strange look on her face, she pushed the door open and entered unceremoniously.
Could it be that she guessed that she was coming today?
Now Youzhou has returned to the banner of the Tang Dynasty, but the troops in Mobei have not completely withdrawn to the grassland, but are stationed outside the city in batches.
At present, the negotiation team headed by Zhang Zifan is signing an agreement with Shuliduo and others at the station outside the city. In short, the content is related to the three items mentioned by Li Jing, but Shuliduo may still want to argue with reason, so there are many Talked for several days.
When it is finally over, Mobei King Yelu Abaoji will personally bring his credentials to court and bow his head to Li Jing.
Yelv Zhiwu, on the other hand, was described as being dedicated to Li Jing freely and freely.
The palace in Youzhou was built in a small style, and even the palaces were not very big.
After Li Jing entered, he walked a few steps further and saw a graceful figure stepping out from behind the screen.
The two pairs of eyes suddenly met.
But looking at the beauty's attire in front of him, Li Jing was suddenly stunned.
Yelu Zhiwu's eyes widened, and in just a moment, her cheeks turned red, and her ears were red all the way to the tips of her ears.
She covered her face, her originally cold voice filled with shyness.
"Who, who allowed you to come in!"
hiss……
Li Jing turned around silently.
Didn't you agree to change clothes?
Why are you wearing a pale white shirt?
