When the firecrackers were blasting and the drums were playing loudly, Nalandili, who was pretending to meditate with her eyes closed in the reception booth, took a deep breath, calmed down her extremely uneasy mood, and opened her eyes that could confuse all living beings. He looked towards the official road outside the pavilion with some anxiety.
Although she is a young lady from the Nalan family, she has a beautiful face and is very smart. She has received the most rigorous training in immortality since she was a child, and she has always performed well.
But she is not a noble banner person, not even a half-mast flag person - just look at her appearance and you will know that she is a Hu Ji with mostly Hu people.
In the Jin Empire, the pure bannermen all have oriental faces, and these talents are the first-class people of the empire!
The direct descendants of the Nalan family are also pure bannermen. And Nalandili's grandfather was born to Nalan Mingzhu and a Hu "fairy girl". Nalandili's grandmother and mother were also Hu people "fairy girls".
In other words, Nalandili only has one-eighth Bannerman blood. So no matter how hard she works, no matter how outstanding she is, she still has the least status in the family. After all, the Nalan family only lasts four generations from Mingzhu to Nalandili.
However, although she has no status in the family, she is the concubine of the Nalan family after all. She also has the inheritance of Zhuge Immortal King, and she is also extremely outstanding. Therefore, she is considered the best double monk... there are not a few people who covet her!
The head of the Nalan family, Nalan Cheng'en, and the Minister of Heavenly Secrets, Mu Zhang'a, went to the Tianshan Yingxian Temple together a few days ago - that is the place where the Nalan family specializes in cultivating dual monks for nobles, and announced to Nalandili A very disturbing news for her.
She will be given to Zhuge Weidao, the "fairy descendant" of the Zhuge family in the Ming Dynasty, to be his Taoist companion - this is not the reason why Fairy Nalan is uneasy. What makes her uneasy is that she still needs to be pregnant with Zhuge Weidao's flesh and blood. , leaving Zhuge Weidao with the flesh and blood in his belly!
Those are the descendants of Immortal King Zhuge, and their spells must be very powerful. With just a few clicks, you can know everything... It's scary to think about it!
But she was not qualified to say no to Nalan Chengen, so she had no choice but to agree.
But when she saw Zhuge Weidao coming alongside Heshen, her scalp suddenly softened... and she even muttered in a low voice: "He is a true immortal!"
Mu Zhang'a, who was sitting with her, had very sharp ears and heard her words immediately. Moreover, he also saw Zhuge Weidao who was with Heshen - Zhuge Weidao had no recognition flag behind him, no writing on his face, and no words on his chest. There was no sign in front.
But this Zhuge is the kind of master who others can tell at a glance that he must be a character. And it’s impossible to be with He Shen even if he’s not a person!
He Zhongtang was a veteran of the Three Dynasties of the Jin Dynasty and a first-rate minister!
So this person must be Zhuge Weidao. Thinking of this, Mu Zhang'a said to Nalandili who was beside him: "Did you see it? He must be the person next to Zhongtang. Come on, let's go to greet him together."
"Yes." Nalandili responded, stood up, flicked the duster in her hand, and followed Mu Zhang'a, as well as Orlov, the envoy of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and Daming Ming, who were resting in the pavilion. Ambassador Yu Hui left the pavilion together. He walked towards He Shen and Zhuge Weidao who were riding their horses.
Zhuge Weidao also saw this beautiful "foreign Taoist nun" and was shocked at the moment... This Taoist nun was so beautiful that she seemed to have a fairy spirit. If it was her who I met when I just traveled through time, I would probably suspect that I had entered a world of cultivating immortals.
But Zhuge Weidao is not the kind of person who eats from the bowl and looks at the pot. Now Natalie hasn't "eated" yet, and no matter how beautiful the Taoist nun is, it has nothing to do with him.
So Zhuge Weidao's eyes just passed over Nalandili's beautiful and fairy-like face, and landed on the face of a tall and white-faced civil servant with a few strands of elegant long beard - this He was an official from the Ming Dynasty, and should be the Ming Dynasty's ambassador to the Jin Empire.
Guo Xiaobao told Zhuge Weidao on the road that the Ming Dynasty's ambassador to the Jin Empire had a surname of Yu, a given name of Hui, and a courtesy name of Changfu. He was a rare talent! He became the ambassador to the Jin Empire at the age of thirty this year. In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, he was as famous a diplomatic talent as Wei Yuanda. And like Wei Yuanda, he is an advocate of the Ming Sea Power Theory, and he is also an activist.
When he served as the consul in Batavia, he colluded with local Mingqiao farmers to incite rebellion among the Dutch in Java and created excuses for the armed intervention of the Ming Navy.
But this thing went wrong. After the Javanese started to make trouble, they did not dare to touch the Dutch. Instead, they went to the overseas Chinese's farm to beat, smash, loot and burn. The local Dutch garrison was afraid of the Ming Dynasty's Nanyang Fleet, and they suppressed it bloodily at the first opportunity. Aboriginal...
After this incident was over, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Navy of the Ming Dynasty conducted a joint investigation and found out Yu Hui and several staff officers of the Nanyang Fleet. However, Yu Hui's ancestor was a senior civil servant under King Zhuge Wuzhong, and he was also granted the title of viscount, so he was considered a member of the Zhuge family. So Zhuge Weidao, who was in charge of the investigation, excused him and made big things into trivial matters.
Because of this incident, Yu Hui and Zhuge Weidao became good friends.
In addition, because this Yu Hui looks "full of fairy spirit" and is a pure East Asian handsome boy, he fits the aesthetics of the Jin Empire very well. So not long after he was transferred back to Beijing, he was sent to the Jin Empire as a deputy ambassador. Not long after the Ming Dynasty ambassador got distracted by "cultivating immortality" and returned to China to recuperate. Yu Hui was lucky enough to become a real ambassador.
Zhuge Weidao now had the ambition to lead the Ming Dynasty to fight a world war, so he also began to plan for his own team. When Guo Xiaobao told him about Yu Hui, he fell in love with her... He was a talented man, he liked to make trouble, and he was also a good friend. This relationship must be maintained well, and it will be handled by a minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhuge got off his horse and strode towards his good friend Yu Hui. As he walked, he raised his hands and greeted: "Changfu, brother Changfu, long time no see, how are you?"
Yu Hui has received a secret message from the Zhuge family. He knows that Zhuge Weidao was injured and lost his memory, and he is also very worried about his promising friend.
Now he "recognized" himself when he saw the other person, and thought his memory had been restored. Immediately he was relieved, and he walked up to him with a smile. He also held his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Daozi, I heard that you were injured and lost your memory in the Rakshasa Kingdom. Are you well now?"
"The wound is not harmful, but the memory has not been completely restored." Zhuge Weidao looked at Yu Hui, "Fortunately, I still remember Brother Changfu."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and locked them tightly with Yu Hui's. They held each other's hands and looked at each other. It was obvious that they were two good friends!
Yu Hui looked at this "little fox" from the Zhuge family who was particularly enthusiastic about him, and felt a little strange in his heart: "I didn't expect him to care about me so much... I thought he and I were just ordinary friends. What a pity, my brain Not only was it broken, but it also messed up the plan that the Zhuge family had set up for more than ten years. There will be no chance to climb up in the future, otherwise I can be promoted. "
Although Yu Hui felt sorry for Zhuge Dao in his heart, his face was still full of smiles. He enthusiastically introduced Pavlov, the ambassador of the Rakshasa Kingdom to Bagua City, Mu Zhang'a, the Minister of Heavenly Secrets of the Qing Dynasty, and several others. The great bachelor and the minister of secrets introduced Zhuge Weidao to him.
Among these people, Zhuge Weidao only remembered one Mu Zhang'a, but he had no memory of the other high-ranking officials of the Jin Empire.
While Zhuge Weidao was chatting with them, he was thinking in his heart: "It seems that the characters in the Jin Empire have changed a lot! I don't know if the Daoguang Emperor of the Jin Empire is the historical one? I heard He Shen said that now The reign titles and names of the emperors of the Jin Empire were all calculated by King Wu Zhong, which means that as long as he is the son of Jiaqing, no matter who ascends the throne, he will be Emperor Daoguang."
While he was thinking about it, a flower appeared before his eyes. A female crown with a fairy-like appearance had appeared in front of him, and she bowed and said: "I am a poor Taoist fairy, this is polite."
After the ceremony, Nalandili smiled brightly at Zhuge Weidao, and her big, talkative eyes stared at Zhuge Immortal with a look that was both shy and admiring.
Zhuge Weidao was not "electric" by her at all. He only thought about Natalie now and looked down on other women. Only Natalie was the best. So he just nodded and responded: "Zhuge is polite."
Why are you so cold?
Nalandili was a little uncomfortable with it, but she still managed a charming smile, and then gave He Shen a wink. He Shen immediately said to Zhuge Weidao: "Junior brother Daozi, Xianling Sanren is the descendant of Nalan Mingzhu. He can also be regarded as a member of the Immortal King's disciples. In terms of seniority, he is our nephew."
"Oh, are you the Fairy Nalan they said?" Zhuge Weidao immediately became interested, "Do you have a Yingxian Pavilion in Bagua City?"
Of course, Yingxian Pavilion does not belong to Nalandili, but is the property of the Nalan family. However, Nalandili still smiled and said to Zhuge Weidao: "Uncle Master is injured, and it is inconvenient for Grand Duchess Natalie to live in the embassy. Why not live together in my Yingxian Pavilion... It’s not a luxurious place. Fortunately, it’s clean and convenient. When you close the door, it becomes a world of its own, and when you open the door, it’s convenient to go anywhere. There aren’t many people waiting around, it’s just me and a few elderly ladies.”
Zhuge Weidao couldn't wait any longer, so he said to Fairy Nalan, "That would disturb Fairy's pure cultivation."
Nalandili smiled and said: "Uncle, what are you saying? Being able to visit Yingxian Pavilion is the greatest honor of Yingxian Pavilion."
Zhuge Weidao said a few more polite words to Nalandili, and then said to He Shen: "Senior brother, how about I rest in Yingxian Pavilion for a few days, and then go to Wuji Palace to have an audience after I recover a little?"
"Okay," He Shen said with a smile, "Junior brother, you are the Queen of the Immortal King. The Holy Master has to ask you for advice on the current situation. You have to be energetic!"
"Easy to say, easy to say." Zhuge Weidao cupped his hands towards Fairy Heshen and Nalan. He ignored the affectionate eyes cast by the fairies, turned around and walked quickly towards the carriage where Natalie was.
He quickly arrived at the carriage. The door had been opened, and there were only Natalie and the aunt's maid Sasha inside. Shasha didn't understand Chinese, so Zhuge Weidao could directly say to Natalie in Chinese: "My dear, it has been arranged... We will be together soon."
When Natalie heard this, her cheeks immediately turned red with embarrassment, but she still nodded and said, "Okay!"
