Li Sixu smiled meaningfully: "Since he insists on coming to give me money and contribute to the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu, it is time to give Tubo a step forward."
The housekeeper whom Xuanzong gave to Li Sixu came in as a matter of routine to report. He planned to go to the door of the house to chase people away immediately after reporting like the previous two times.
As a result, Li Sixu smiled and ordered him: "Go and invite the famous Lord from Tubo!"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment and hurriedly exited. After a while, he brought Ming Xilie into the Qushui Pavilion where Li Sixu entertained guests.
It's midsummer, and the weather in Chang'an is hot.
Ming Xilie followed the housekeeper into the garden of the Princess Mansion, and walked out sweating profusely. Just when he couldn't bear the heat, a pavilion by the meandering water suddenly came into view.
The pavilion is backed by a rockery. Water flows down from the height of the rockery, falls on the roof tiles of the pavilion, and then pours down the water curtain.
Ming Xilie saw the beautiful figure standing beside the fence of Qushui Pavilion!
When he entered the pavilion under the guidance of the housekeeper, he felt even more cool, which dissipated the heat and boredom he had been feeling for the past few days.
"The Tibetan envoy, named Xie Lie, has come to harass the princess!"
Dalanya offended the tenth princess to death, so Mingxun Lie kept his posture very low and paid tribute to Li Sixu according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty.
The princess had already rejected him twice. It was because of his perseverance that he ran into trouble in the capital, so he had no choice but to visit again. Unexpectedly, this time the princess was willing to see him?
Li Sixu was right in front of him, Ming Xulie was a little excited, and her voice even trembled when she spoke.
He thought that the princess would embarrass him, but Li Sixu smiled very amiably and said: "My lord, you are welcome. I have prepared some ice chips and sesame drinks to relieve the heat. The weather is hot. My lord, please enjoy some first, and we will discuss it in detail." .”
Ming Xlie was very touched by being treated like spring breeze and drizzle.
His voice trembled: "Princess is generous, I apologize to the princess for Dalangya's previous offense. His reckless behavior was definitely not what Zanpu meant."
"Hey, after all, Zampu and Dalanya are descendants of Aunt Jincheng. Although he is rude, I can't argue with him for too long. Now that Lord Ming has sent him away from Chang'an City, the previous grudges have been wiped out. Bar!"
Li Sixu found a reason for her absence from the Ming Dynasty for the first two times: "Master Ming also knows that it is inappropriate for me to interfere in the peace talks between Tibet and Tang Dynasty. However, these days I see Master Ming asking for help everywhere. Sisi really admires your perseverance in running for your country."
"Sisi admired the wise ministers who cared about their family, country and the world the most in her life, so she was deeply touched."
"Although this princess hates Dalangya's many calculations, she cannot regard all the Tibetan people who long for peace and people like you, who understand justice, as enemies just because of one person."
"For the sake of peace between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of Aunt Jincheng, and for the sake of Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty who contributed to the peace between the two countries, Sisi agreed to meet you this time."
Li Sixu's words made Xixu very moved.
He never imagined that the person he saw working hard for his family and country was not their prince Dalanya, but the princess of a hostile country.
Ming Xilie was deeply moved and was extremely grateful to the princess. He even felt a tragic feeling in his heart that a scholar would die for his confidant.
He took the box from his entourage and presented it to Li Sixu: "This is a gift that Zanpu asked me to bring to the Tang Dynasty. I will dedicate these to the princess as an apology for the prince's offense during the reception banquet, and as a token of Tubo's intention." The sincerity of friendship with the Tang Dynasty and the princess."
As expected of an envoy from Tubo, he made it so refreshing and refined to say that he came to bribe her when she had no way to ask for help.
At Ming Xilie's prompt, Li Sixu opened the box. It was afternoon, and the sunlight that penetrated the pavilion shone on the box, and the dozen gems in the box reflected the dazzling light.
As Li Sixu moves, the gems in the box change with the intensity of the light, each one like a cat's eyes, flexible and bright.
Tubo is really generous!
Such a beautiful cat's eye stone is worth a lot of money. Her father once received one as a gift from an envoy from the Lion Kingdom. He has always kept it in the peony box in the imperial study, and often takes it out to play with when the weather is fine.
This kind of gem will change with the intensity of sunlight and is as flexible and bright as a cat's eyes, so Li Sixu knew that these gems were valuable.
Her father only had one good quality one, and Ming Xi Lie had more than a dozen at a time. Obviously, because of the Dalang Ya incident and the successive setbacks during this period, he had to spend a lot of money.
With such a box of gems, and part of the funds needed for the voyage were solved for her, his stupid emperor thought that he had emptied Dalangya, but he didn't know that what he got before was just an appetizer, and the talent provided by Mingxi Lie It is a staple food.
Li Sixu was very satisfied with the generous gift from Ming Xilie. She no longer called herself a princess, and her smile was as bright as the sunshine in the garden.
"Sisi has seen Lord Ming's sincerity and does not want to see another war between Tubo and Tang Dynasty, leaving the people of the two countries in dire straits."
Li Sixu had a bright smile on her face: "My lord, please go back to Sifang Pavilion and wait for news about Sisi!"
Are the ten princesses willing to go to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty to speak favorably for Tibet?
The princess is so amiable and does not care about past grudges.
This moved Ming Xilie very much: "Thank you, princess. Once the work is done, I will express my deep gratitude."
"OK!"
Li Sixu smiled so hard that her eyebrows arched: "Sisi will not let you down."
In this way, Ming Xilie drank the ice-cold sesame drink that Li Sixu had asked him to prepare, and left the princess mansion feeling cool.
As soon as he left, Li Sixu held a box of cat's eye stones and rolled it around in the sun, playing with it until a shadow covered it, then she raised her head and smiled sweetly.
"Master Manager, you scared your fiancée."
Li Sixu winked at him cutely: "Tell me, what crime do you deserve?"
very nice!
The night is so vast that the bright moon in the sky is out of reach!
He spent all his efforts and finally touched the bright moon in the sky. The princess has become his unmarried wife.
Probably because he saved mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and all sentient beings in his previous life, he was able to exchange for the bond with the princess in this life.
Even more lucky is that I can win the favor of the princess.
Li Linhuai was very willing to indulge her in this little game that she never got tired of playing.
He twitched the corners of his lips and smiled fondly: "How about I devote myself to the princess for the rest of my life?"
"Huh, sir, do you still want to regret it?"
Li Sixu handed the box containing the cat's eye stone to Li Linhuai's hand, and tiptoed close to his ear: "Sisi has given your seal as early as in Shibao City, and my father issued the imperial edict of marriage. , Sir, you can’t escape even if you have wings!”
"I am lucky that I will not escape and be imprisoned by the princess."
