Shao Yunan left Princess Wuzhen to drink tea, and even asked someone to take the bird's nest he had prepared for Princess Wuzhen to taste. Dai Zhanxiao first asked what bird's nest is, and when he knew it was swallow's saliva, he couldn't imagine how to eat it. He wanted to remind his younger brother, after all, he was pregnant, so it was better to be cautious. But seeing how his younger brother and Princess Wu Zhen were enjoying their meals, he swallowed his persuasion. When it comes to eating, his younger brother should know more than him.
"Princess, this bird's nest is a high-quality nutritious food. Consuming two spoonfuls a day is not only good for your health, it also has the effect of beautifying your skin. It is especially suitable for girls."
"Really? Zhengjun, how did you make it so transparent?"
"I have already made it here. The princess can take it home and eat it. The steps to make the picked swallow's nest edible are cumbersome. I'm afraid the princess will not have that patience. When the princess goes back, she can bring some finished products." , as long as the bird’s hair is picked out after soaking, it can be eaten together with longan, wolfberry, and red dates and stewed for half an hour.”
"Then Wu Zhen thanked Zheng Jun first."
"I also want to thank the princess for finding these bird's nests for me."
Dai Zhanxiao listened to his younger brother talking about bird's nest with Princess Wu Zhen, but he stared at the bowl of bird's nest in his hand but couldn't put it down. Shao Yunan saw that he only looked at it but didn't eat it, and said: "Brother, this is a good thing. The bowl in your hand sold for twenty taels of silver in Yunlong Pavilion. If you don't eat it, it will be a waste."
"Twenty taels?" Dai Zhanxiao's heart trembled violently, and even Princess Wu Zhen almost spit out the bird's nest from her mouth and swallowed it hastily.
Shao Yun'an didn't say that it would only be more expensive if it was sold in "Qing Yuan". With the concept of not wasting food, he took a sip of bird's nest on behalf of Zhan Xiao. Fortunately, there is no strange smell. And when he thought that this small bowl of bird's nest would be sold for twenty taels of silver, Dai Zhanxiao ate all of it, and Princess Wu Zhen laughed at the heroic eating.
Princess Wu Zhen ate a bowl of bird's nest, drank several cups of tea, brought some snacks and left in a good mood. There were only two brothers left in the hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Fortunately, neither of them are introverts, Shao Yunan took the initiative to say: "Brother, father, is he okay?"
"Very good." After a pause, Dai Zhanxiao asked: "You are still young, why are you so anxious to have a child?"
Shao Yun'an's expression suddenly changed, and Dai Zhanxiao said coldly, "But Marquis Zhongyong forced you?"
"No." Shao Yunan gritted his teeth, "I was tricked!"
Dai Zhanxiao didn't know what to say about Shao Yun'an's pregnancy "oolong". Shao Dahu's death was not a pity, and Wang Shijing really didn't know about it. In the end, he could only say: "This child is destined for you, so you can relax and take good care of the baby."
hehe!
Shao Yunan rubbed his chest that was suffocated when he thought about it: "I can only comfort myself like this." Not wanting to worry about this, Shao Yunan asked instead: "Brother, tell me about the border situation."
Dai Zhanxiao is naturally a detailed explanation.
The missions of the four countries gathered in the capital, and there were many "foreigners" in the capital. Especially the distinctive-looking Huhar people, who will cause commotion wherever they go. The people of Dayan have deep-seated fear and hatred for the people of Huhar.
The business of "Qing Yuan" is booming. Regardless of whether it was the Dasi Kingdom, the Xianlu Kingdom, or the Dashan Tribes, taking advantage of this opportunity, whether it was to win relationships with the aristocratic families in the capital, or to make friends with each other, they often came to Qingyuan. Qing Yuan's food is delicious, the environment is good, and the privacy is excellent. Coupled with Guo Zimu's signature as the quasi-wang Zhengjun and his relationship with Zhongyong Hou's mansion, now Qing Yuan has to book at least ten days in advance to get a room.
Su Jin'an booked a room in Qingyuan eight days in advance, because he has Qingyuan's gold card, so he was given priority. Since Su Jin'an got this card, more and more people came to him. He actually booked this table tonight for Xie Bi, son of Minister of Rites. Xie Bi invited some friends to meet in Qingyuan, found Su Jin'an, and naturally invited him to go with him.
When the mission came to Beijing, the busiest of the six departments were the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Accounts and the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Households is busy paying money, the Ministry of Rites is busy with various arrangements, and the Ministry of War is busy with law and order. Xie Bi invited all the children of the aristocratic families in the capital, and Chu Xiong, the second young master of the head of Ningguo Duke's mansion, was also invited. Ever since Concubine Jing was demoted to the rank of nobleman and demoted to the Changxi Palace, Duke Ning's mansion has kept a low profile. Now there are only two of the three princes left. Duke Lu's mansion is closely related to the upstart Zhongyonghou's mansion. Fortunately, the current situation of Duke Ning's mansion is very delicate. Emperor Yongming did not suppress Duke Ning's mansion, but Concubine Jing was demoted, and the queen conceived a dragon child, so the status of Duke Ning's mansion was somewhat unclear. Concubine Jing's situation has always been a sharp sword hanging over Duke Ning's mansion.
Su Jin'an came to Qingyuan just before noon, and the handsome foreman brought him to the "Zhusi Room". Someone bought the gold card in Su Jin'an's hand for two thousand taels of silver, but Su Jin'an ignored it. Of the one hundred gold cards issued by Qing Yuan, Guo Zimu gave five to Murong Shizi, and gave away the rest. The ones who get the cards are undoubtedly not the people with high status, and Princess Wu Zhen also got one. Owning a wishing gold card is definitely a symbol of identity and status. It has to be said that Shao Yun'an's idea for Guo Zimu was very appealing to many people.
Not long after Su Jin'an sat down, Xie Bi and the others arrived. When making a reservation for Qingyuan's dishes, the ticket format of the day must also be determined, otherwise it will be too late to make it to order. Seeing Su Jin'an, everyone complimented him for a while, and Xie Bi said as soon as he sat down, "Brother Jin'an, your gold card is an eye-opener for my brother."
Su Jin'an took out the gold card with a smile and said nothing, Xie Bi took it and exclaimed again and again: "It really is 'Qing Yuan', which is a big deal." There was no concealment of envy in his words.
When the card was transferred to Chu Xiong, Chu Xiong was very envious. Duke Ning's mansion also has a gold card, but it's in the hands of Duke Ning's son, brother Chuxiong. The relationship between Chu Xiong and his eldest brother is not good, the son of Duke Ning is quite capable, but this Chu Xiong is a complete dude, but because of his status, the sons and brothers of the capital family are willing to make friends with him.
Xie Bi was very greedy, and begged, "Brother Jin'an, you and Zhongyonghou Zhengjun are cousins, can you ask for one for my younger brother? You can also pay money. You have three gold cards in Duke Lu's mansion, or you can sell one for my brother." open?"
Xie Bi was not the first person to make such an idea. Su Jinan replied: "My two brothers treasure this gold card as precious as an eyeball. As the eldest brother, I can't force it, but I am on the side of Wang Shaozhengjun." You can ask, but you can’t be sure if you can ask for one.”
"As long as Brother Jin'an is willing to speak up for Brother, it will be fine."
Xie Bi was very happy, but he didn't know that Su Jin'an would never ask for him.
The dishes started to be served soon, only Su Jin'an and Xie Bi had been here before, and it was only the second time for them to come here, after all, the dishes here are really too expensive. This plate of dishes makes people drool just by looking at the presentation. When they are served on the table, even these buddies who are not short of food can't help but swallow their mouths.
Xie Bi picked up the chopsticks: "Come on, Mr. Zhuang is treating you today, so don't hesitate to wait."
The one who was responsible for taking out the money - a young master raised his chopsticks with a smile.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite good. After eating for a while, there was a sudden commotion outside, and everyone couldn't help but stop their chopsticks. How can there be such a noisy voice in Qingyuan? Mr. Zhuang put down his chopsticks: "I'll go and have a look."
Su Jin'an also put down her chopsticks and stood up. No matter what you say here, it has something to do with Wang Shaozhengjun, and he is also concerned.
At this time, Qingyuan's hall was crowded with barbarians, and Guanshi Zhao stood in front of a group of ferocious barbarians with a pale face. Behind him were guards in Qingyuan, and guests from some rooms came out.
The frontmost Hu man with loose cheeks and a cross scar on his face looked around viciously, and said to Guanshi Zhao: "We are the mission of the Huhar Kingdom, and we have to make a reservation to eat at your restaurant in Dayan. What a joke!"
Manager Zhao tried his best not to faint from the shock, and said calmly, "Qinghou is a private restaurant, you must make a reservation to eat, and the rooms are full now. Qingyuan is opened by our prince Zhengjun and Zhongyonghou Zhengjun. Whoever comes has to follow the rules!"
The strong man with the cross scar pushed Guanshi Zhao away, and Qing Yuan's guards stepped forward to stop him. Su Jin'an pulled the trembling male waiter over the corner, whispered something quickly in his ear, the man nodded and ran away. At this time, all the guests in the room came out. All of these guests have status. Su Jin'an stepped forward and said righteously: "The missions from the Xianlu Kingdom, the Dashan Tribe and the Dasi Kingdom all make reservations in advance according to the rules. Missions from the Hu Kingdom, are you making trouble here for no reason? sincerity?"
The bearded man looked at Su Jin'an contemptuously, and asked, "Report your name."
"Should I give my name first before asking someone else?"
The strong man laughed twice: "Warrior of the Hu Kingdom, Sucharshan!"
Su Jin'an: "Duke Lu's Mansion, Su Jin'an!"
The leader, King Keqin, glanced at Su Jin'an, and winked at Sucharshan, who suddenly attacked Su Jinan without warning. Su Jin'an, who was always on guard, hurriedly resisted, but he, a son of an aristocratic family who only knew how to fight, was no match for Sucharshan. With just a few moves, Su Jin'an's body hit the wall fiercely, spitting blood.
This—Xiaqing’s wish was in chaos, Xie Bi and the others were so frightened that their faces were pale, Zhao Guanshi ran over to help Su Jinan, and one person quickly came to help Su Jinan, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and bit open the bottle cap with his teeth , and poured the contents of the porcelain bottle into Su Jinan's mouth. All the Hu people stared at the person who appeared suddenly, and the flustered and angry guests in Qingyuan also suddenly quieted down and looked at each other.
Su Jin'an only felt that his viscera had shifted. He didn't faint, his mouth was full of blood, and a clear stream flowed down his throat into his stomach, and the burning pain in his internal organs was relieved a lot immediately. In a daze, he saw a mask, and besides the smell of blood, there was a faint fragrance at the end of his nose.
"Guan Zhao, go to the doctor quickly."
"Master..."
"Go!"
Guanshi Zhao was so frightened that he lost his mind, but the one who was injured was the eldest son of Duke Lu's mansion. Guanshi Zhao ran out in a daze, trying to call for a doctor, but was blocked by people from the state of Hu.
King Keqin took two steps: "This is Mr. Guo, right?"
Under the mask, Guo Zimu clenched his teeth tightly, his hands were cold, and his body was shaking slightly, he didn't understand how the other party knew him. He gently put down Su Jin'an, put the empty porcelain bottle into his clothes, and stood up. Qingyuan's guards immediately stood in front of Guo Zimu, and Sucharshan made another attack. These guards couldn't withstand a few moves before they were all knocked down. Some of the guests stood up one after another, and those from the Dasi Kingdom, the Dashan Tribe, and the Xianlu Nationality also stood up.
"Hu man! This is me, Dayan! Don't be presumptuous!"
"Don't bully people too much!"
"Hu Guo Mission, since you are here to discuss peace, what are you thinking?"
Guo Zimu told himself not to be afraid, this is the capital city, he has sent people to find Murong and Yun'an, what happened before will never happen again!
With a sound of "poof", something hit the strap on Guo Zimu's mask, Guo Zimu's mask fell off, and the exclamation sounded instantly. King Keqin was stunned, Sucharshan was stunned, and all the Hu people were stunned. There was no sound in the hall, and everyone looked at the Zhun Wang Zhengjun who showed his true colors.
When the mask fell off, Guo Zimu's head was stunned. At this time, he was so scared and terrified, and he looked even more pitiful like this. The person's eyes are straightened. King Keqin's amazed eyes were naked plunder, and Sucharshan's breathing became heavy.
"Bold thief!"
King Keqin and Sucharshan quickly came back to their senses, and a long spear shot out from the crowd of barbarians behind them. Someone saw the person coming and shouted in surprise: "It's the little general!"
Dai Zhanxiao appeared, and with him was a guard of twenty or thirty people. Sucharshan was the first to greet him, Dai Zhanxiao led the battlefield outside Qingyuan, and the guards also fought with other barbarians. King Keqin brought all the warriors from the Hu Kingdom, and the members of the guard team were defeated. Only Dai Zhanxiao could barely fight Sucharshan.
At this time, a private soldier of the Dai family was rushing to Qingyuan, but before they arrived, a powerful team joined Dai Zhanxiao's side, and it turned out to be a warrior from the Dashan tribe led by Princess Wuzhen.
Several groups of people outside Qing Yuan fought inextricably. King Ke Qin, who did not join the battle, walked towards Guo Zimu, seemingly not worried that his side would suffer losses. Several people stood in front of him.
"King Keqin, be careful."
King Keqin stopped and looked contemptuously at the person blocking him. The tall man directly looked at Guo Zimu who was trembling with fear.
"I heard that there is a man who is as beautiful as a fairy beside the prince of the Great Yan Kingdom. Today I can see it, but it is better to see it than to hear it. The most beautiful flower in my Hu Kingdom will be eclipsed in front of you."
"King Keqin, this is the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom. The person you speak of is the righteous king of King Luo Rong of the Great Yan Kingdom! I will definitely report the truth to my emperor. King Keqin led a mission to negotiate a peace, but what I saw was yours. arrogance!"
The man moved two steps to the side, blocking Guo Zimu. King Keqin lowered his eyes slightly, and sneered: "This is?"
"Dr. Cen Jueyuan, head teacher of the Imperial Academy of Great Yenching."
Standing with Cen Jueyuan was the master of the Imperial College who came with him, and Cen Xue was holding his daughter tightly in the corner, covering her mouth with one hand, with deep fear on her face. With Cen Jueyuan taking the lead, those Yan people who were present, no matter if they were sincere or not, all came to stand with him. The Cen family is the father's family of Zhong Yonghou!
Guo Zimu became even more afraid when he heard the other party's name. This King Keqin is not a good thing at first glance. If the other party makes a move against the Cen family, the Cen family will definitely not be able to stop it. Guo Zimu was about to step forward, but Cen Jueyuan resolutely blocked him, saying, "Don't be afraid, Wang Zhengjun, this is my Great Yanjing City! No matter how arrogant he is, can he still kill us all? "
When he said this, Cen Jueyuan looked straight into King Keqin's eyes.
King Keqin’s limit was always Guo Zimu, who bowed his head to avoid him, and said rudely: “You Han people have an old saying that heroes love beautiful women since ancient times. This king is naturally yearning for such a beautiful woman. You say he is Luo Rong Wang Zhengjun, How did this king hear that he and King Luo Rong are not married yet? Since they are not married, this king can naturally fight for it."
Many Yan people present were furious. The emperor had already decreed that the boss who didn't know Qingyuan was King Luo Rong's rightful emperor. King Keqin's words were not only arrogant and rude, but also did not put the emperor on the throne at all. In his eyes, he also humiliated King Luo Rong.
Guo Zimu raised his head, but the tears of fear never fell from his eyes. When he raised his head, King Keqin's eyes became even more plundering.
