Zhao Bin led everyone towards the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, four beautiful maids from the palace, Cao Li, He Miao and other officials came out anxiously.
Cao Li asked with concern: "My lord, are you not hurt?"
Xing'er and Ling'er surrounded Zhao Bin and checked back and forth to see if Zhao Bin was injured.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine, I don't have to worry you anymore." Zhao Bin looked at the anxious looks of several people and said hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, how is the war? Are those Jie tribesmen still attacking the city?" Cui'er also asked with a sad look on her face.
"Okay, okay, it's okay. Not many of the Jie tribe members have been killed."
Several people heard that there were not many Jie people left, and a big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. After all, they are little girls, and they will still be scared in the face of cruel war. "Scared Ling'er to death!"
Zhao Bin took advantage of the situation and hugged Ling'er's waist and said: "Your prince is here, what are you afraid of? Let's go into the house and talk."
Although Zhong Lixue didn't ask anything, he could still see the concern on her face.
She had been coming to Prince Yan's Mansion for a while, and had a certain understanding of Prince Yan. Later, when she heard about what Prince Yan had done in Yan City, she felt a secret admiration in her heart.
Princess Leyang who was following her could not help but frown slightly when she saw the scene in front of her. She had heard from people in her clan that powerful people in Daxia had three wives and four concubines, not to mention a young and handsome man. Prince.
Zhao Bin led everyone into the hall, where the guests and hosts took their seats. Cui'er went to make tea and placed it in front of Princess Leyang and Su Hetu.
Zhao Bin picked up the tea on the table and said: "Thank you very much for Princess Leyang and Chief Suhe for coming to help this time. I have thanked them both with tea instead of wine. Please also express my gratitude to the Great Khan of Xianbei on my behalf."
Princess Leyang took a sip of tea and said: "Father Khan said that His Highness King Yan is a friend of our Xianbei people. When our friends are in trouble, we will naturally help!
What's more, His Royal Highness King Yan also gave us a hundred thousand arrows before, which was of great help to us in resisting the invasion of the Jie tribe. "
"Yes, Your Majesty, not only that, the fine salt refined by Your Majesty is also what our Xianbei people need. The Xianbei people will remember His Highness the friendship of King Yan." Su Hetu also said.
Zhao Bin waved his hand and said: "The Yancheng and Xianbei people live here together. There are Jie people in the west and Liao people in the north. We should help each other. Only in this way can the safety of the two ethnic groups be ensured."
"I just have something that I don't understand. Could you please tell me?"
"Your Majesty, please speak," Princess Leyang replied.
"How did you know that the Jie tribe attacked our Yancheng?" Zhao Bin asked doubtfully.
Princess Leyang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is a certain accidental factor here. Our scouts found out on the grassland that the Jie people are frequently mobilizing troops.
The Sand Wolf tribe is the closest tribe to Yancheng. A few days ago, we discovered that the main force of the Sand Wolf tribe began to move south. We speculated that they might attack Xiguan.
I asked my father Khan to come and help. After all, if Xiguan was breached, the Xianbei people would be attacked from both sides. "
At this point, the smile on Princess Leyang's face instantly disappeared, and a trace of sadness appeared on her face again: "I just didn't expect that we were still a step too late, and Xiguan was lost so quickly."
When she said this, it was obvious that she was a little disappointed with the incompetence of Daxia's army.
"Princess, please rest assured that Xiguan has been recaptured. Now there are 50,000 troops stationed there. There will be no more mistakes?" Zhao Bin explained.
"Took it back?" Princess Leyang couldn't believe her ears. Isn't this a joke? Throw it away when you say it is thrown away. Take it back when you say it is taken back. Are you two playing house?
"Yes, I know this is unexpected, but it has indeed been recaptured. It won't be long before a military report is sent!"
"That's great, Leyang thought he was late!"
"It's not too late, it's not too late. Isn't this just right? If you hadn't come, I'm afraid we would still be fighting in Yancheng. I will hold a banquet at the palace tonight to celebrate your success."
When Su Hetu heard that there was a banquet in the palace, he immediately became interested and said to Princess Leyang: "Your Highness, I have tasted the food in Prince Yan's Palace, and it tastes really good."
Princess Leyang looked at Zhao Bin with interest and said, "In that case, Leyang would like to thank the prince."
Zhao Bin secretly thought that he was also a foodie: "It should be me, the king, who thanks the princess. Oh, by the way, the princess might as well wash up in the palace. There is still a lot of blood on her body."
Hearing this, Leyang had a look of embarrassment on her face. She was a woman after all, and it was still inappropriate to take a bath in someone else's house, but the bloodstains all over her body were indeed inappropriate at the moment.
Zhao Bin saw Princess Leyang's hesitation and realized that he had been a little rash, so he explained: "I didn't think carefully. Please forgive me, Princess."
"It's okay. Leyang is grateful for your prince's kindness. In that case, it's up to you to help him." Princess Leyang said with a smile.
"Ling'er, please ask someone to make arrangements." Now that the palace has more people, they don't need a few of them to do everything.
"It's the prince, your highness, come with me," Ling'er said to Princess Leyang with a smile.
"Thank you, Miss!" Princess Leyang thanked her, and then followed Ling'er to the backyard. Before going out, she didn't forget to look back at Zhao Bin who was sitting where he was.
Zhao Bin showed a knowing smile.
Princess Leyang came to the backyard and glanced around. The backyard was not small. There was a big tree in the courtyard with pavilions like a canopy, and a pergola was built under the tree.
There are stone tables and rocking chairs in the pergola, and there are some strange things on the table. Ling'er gave a few instructions to a servant who looked like a woman, and the woman walked towards the other yard.
Princess Leyang looked at the items on the stone table curiously.
"This is a distiller, made by our prince?" Ling'er said.
"Alembic? What is this used for?" Princess Leyang asked.
"This is for making perfume. Now that spring is here, there are many flowers blooming in the fields. The prince said that these flowers can be used to make perfume. It will smell good when sprinkled on the body. But I have been busy with the war recently and haven't had time to make it yet." Ling Ling said. Er said with some regret.
"Is it the scent of flowers?"
"Yes, we tried it last year but failed to make it, but the prince said that if we try a few more times, we will definitely succeed."
"Then what is this white thing?" Princess Leyang said, pointing to a few milky white lumps on the table.
"This is called soap. Princess can smell it. It's very fragrant."
"Soap? Is it made by your prince too?"
"Yes, this is for bathing. The weather is getting warmer and your body tends to sweat. This is very useful for cleaning. Your Highness can try it later."
"OK!"
Several women carried the boiled hot water into the bathroom, and Ling'er led Leyang to the bathroom. There were three large wooden barrels in the bathroom, one of which was often used by Zhao Bin, and the other two were used by several of them.
She was Zhao Bin's personal maid, so naturally she would not wait for others to wash up. After a few words of explanation, two women were left to help Le Yang wash up, and Ling'er exited the bathroom.
Ling'er, who had nothing to do, came to the table and fiddled with her perfume business at will.
Xing'er always had a faint body fragrance, but she and Tweety didn't have it. This made the little girl very jealous, so she decided to make perfume.
Princess Leyang came out of the bathroom after washing up half an hour later. At this time, she took off her armor. She was wearing a smart outfit that made her figure even more tall and well-proportioned, with her breasts standing proudly.
This costume is the traditional costume of the Xianbei people. Such costumes are extremely convenient for people on horseback. During the Warring States Period in our country's history, King Zhao Wuling and Zhao Yong once promoted riding and shooting in Hu costumes, which was almost the same as this kind of costume. The clothing is similar.
Ling'er looked at Princess Leyang up and down and said, "Your Highness, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful!"
Princess Leyang smiled happily and said: "Girl, you are also very beautiful. I think His Highness King Yan likes you very much."
"Hehe, no, no!" Ling'er said a little embarrassed.
"Your Highness, let's go to the front hall."
Princess Leyang hesitated for a moment, looked at the white soap on the stone table not far away, and said with some embarrassment: "Miss Ling'er, can you give me a piece of that soap?"
Ling'er looked back at the soap on the stone table: "Is this it?"
Leyang nodded sheepishly. After all, she was also a princess of the Xianbei tribe and the daughter of a Khan. It was really embarrassing to ask people for things.
But when she was taking a bath just now, she found that this thing was really easy to use. Not only could it remove greasy stains on her body, but she also had a faint floral fragrance left on her body after taking a bath.
Ling'er walked to the table, poured all the flowers in a flower basket on the table, and then put all the four or five pieces of white soap on the table into the flower basket.
"Then, your highness, I'll give it to you," Ling'er said with a smile, passing the flower basket to Leyang.
"There's no need for so much, I just want one piece!" Leyang explained hurriedly.
"It's okay, Your Highness Princess. There are still some in the palace. If Your Highness runs out in the future, just send someone to tell Ling'er at any time." Ling'er was still smiling.
"Thank you so much, Miss Ling'er."
"The princess is the prince's distinguished guest. This is what Ling'er should do. Your Highness, there is no need to be polite."
As they spoke, the two walked towards the front hall. However, when they arrived at the front hall, only Xing'er, Cui'er and Zhong Lixue were left in the room, and the others were no longer there.
"Huh? Where are the prince and the others?" Ling'er asked curiously.
