Three days later, Emperor Wenxuan held a banquet at Tianxingtai.
The Tianxingtai is located on the high platform in front of the palace, and further ahead is the sacrificial platform. When Uto's messenger Maningbu entered the capital, His Majesty agreed to the Uto people's indemnity to seek peace. On the surface, it was to show the generosity of the monarch of the Great Wei Dynasty, but in fact it was also to promote his country's prestige.
In the past and present, He Yan was the first time to participate in such an occasion. Early in the morning, she changed into her official uniform, with a red bottom and round flowers, and a black belt in the middle. She was not as tall as a man, and she was a bit extravagant to wear the official uniform, but because she was tall and straight, she wore it unexpectedly. Also a little ethereal.
Now everyone in the court knew that she was a woman, and she didn't have to change into a man with makeup. Qingmei only lightly painted her eyebrows and put on a thin layer of powder. Her lips were already pink and she didn't use mouth fat. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, neatly.
He Yan looked at the woman in the mirror, she was heroic and beautiful, neither dressed as a man nor too delicate, this dress seemed to be the most pleasing to the eye since she was born again.
He Yan grabbed the tea on the table and took a sip, and said, "It's almost time, I'll go out first."
Qingmei asked, "Does the girl really want slaves to accompany her?"
"I'm not going to the banquet, what do I do with you?" He Yan laughed, "Just wait for me to come back in the house."
She went out and got into the carriage herself.
Xiao Jue didn't come to pick him up today. Although the two of them were going to get married soon, before they got married, He Yan was still Marquis of Wu'an before being Xiao Jue's fiancee. Public affairs and private affairs should be clearly defined, and on occasions like today, don't be too casual.
There is no servant by her own side, and it is rare to go to Tianxingtai alone like her. The carriage was agreed yesterday, and when he reached the vicinity of Tianxingtai all the way, He Yan got off the carriage and walked in the direction of Tianxingtai alone.
Some officials had already arrived first, and those who knew each other exchanged greetings with each other. He Yan didn't know many people, so he was standing when an excited voice suddenly came: "Sister He!"
He Yan was startled, turned around, and saw Lin Shuanghe running over.
He is also dressed as Zhou Zheng today. If he doesn't speak, he looks like a young and talented young man. He Yan said oddly, "Why is Brother Lin here? It's not that only officials can be here..."
"My grandfather and my father are both here," Lin Shuanghe said disapprovingly, "The empress dowager likes me, let me join in the fun too."
I understand, Young Master Lin came in through the back door again.
Lin Shuanghe looked He Yan up and down, his eyes sparkling: "Sister He, this is the first time I see you in an official uniform. You look good! We are so lucky to be Huai Jin, and we have found such a beautiful woman. lady."
Every time this person compliments, he always comes along, regardless of whether people accept it or not, He Yan interrupts his flattery: "I haven't seen Brother Lin for a few days, what is Brother Lin busy?"
"Don't talk about it," Lin Shuanghe said with a bitter face when he heard the words: "I have only been away from Shuojing for a year and a half, and there have been a lot of female patients who came to see me in Shuojing. Since I came back, they have been seeing patients every day. , Didn't Sister He notice that I'm tired and thin?"
Seeing his high-spirited appearance, He Yan said, "That's not true. If you don't want to see a doctor, you can just close the door and disappear. Why do you force yourself like this?"
"It's all women," Lin Shuanghe said in a serious tone, "Gentlemen should be sympathetic to fragrance and jade."
He Yan was speechless for a while before saying, "So that's the case. Brother Lin is so busy that he forgot about helping me find a house."
Lin Shuanghe was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered what he had long forgotten, and looked at He Yan strangely, "But aren't you and Huai Jin going to get married on the tenth day of the new year? What are you going to do with buying a house?"
"I don't live here." He Yan was helpless, "I want my father and Yun Sheng to change houses." In the past, she was poor and unable to do anything, but now she has a serious official position. The money Xiao Jue gave her last time was enough to build a new house in the capital. Although it was not as luxurious as the rich and famous, it was much better than the current one. After He Yan thought about it, he thought it was borrowed from Xiao Jue, and after the salary was released a year later, he would return it to him.
"It turned out to be for my uncle and younger brother," Lin Shuanghe breathed a sigh of relief, and patted He Yan's shoulder, "Don't worry, I will leave this to my brother, and I will make sure you do it properly for you!"
He Yan: "Don't you say that you are busy with business and can't care about this now?"
"Cough, are you free, there are still some to squeeze."
"You really didn't find it for me on purpose before."
"Sister He, how can you miss me so much?"
While talking and laughing, Lin Shuanghe suddenly waved behind He Yan, "Huai Jin!"
He Yan looked back, Xiao Jue and Xiao Jing came over from the other end.
The two brothers were handsome and stood out among the young officials. When they got close, He Yan and Xiao Jing saluted, Xiao Jing smiled and said, "This is the first time I have come to Tianxingtai with a female official. Miss He is valiant and heroic, and the women are not allowed to be men."
He Yan was polite, Lin Shuanghe touched his chin, looked at He Yan and Xiao Jue for a while, and said, "I have to say, the two of you seem to be a good match."
He Yan looked at Xiao Jue, he was also wearing an official uniform today, luckily or not, the group flowers embroidered on the dark blue official uniform happened to match the group flowers on her official uniform. There is also a girdle around the waist, and this person is extraordinarily handsome and noble, handsome and handsome.
"Sister He," Lin Shuanghe said, "you say, if you go up a few more levels, you can go up and down with Huai Jin in the future. It's really convenient. Looking at the whole of Wei, you two are husband and wife. It's the first time."
"Miss He hasn't come through the door yet," Xiao Jing said softly, "Young Master Lin speaks carefully, and being heard by others will be detrimental to Miss He's reputation."
He Yan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jing in front of him. Everyone in the world said that Young Master Xiao was a gentle and courteous gentleman. However, what he said did not make people feel pedantic, but thought he was thoughtful. No wonder Song Taotao wanted to be Xiao Jue's sister-in-law before this. Also hard to find.
Just as she was in a trance, a person suddenly appeared in front of her, quietly blocking her gaze towards Xiao Jing. He Yan raised her head and met Xiao Jue's gaze, she seemed a little displeased.
He was still protecting his eldest brother, He Yan thought about it, afraid that he would also attack Xiao Jing's idea
At this time, someone in front called Lin Shuanghe's name, probably Lin Shuanghe's friend, and Lin Shuanghe followed the sound. Xiao Jing also took a few steps forward and chatted with his colleagues.
He Yan finally got the time to stay with Xiao Jue. She leaned over to Xiao Jue, stretched out her sleeves and asked, "How is it, this is the new official uniform, I'm wearing it for the first time today, isn't it very romantic? And very murderous?"
The sun shines on the girl's face, and it seems that her fine eyelashes can be clearly illuminated. Her eyes are bright and energetic, and she looks like she is smiling. She has a pure youthful spirit, but the red official uniform is not. In the end, it made her a little bit more heroic, which was completely different from all women.
There are thousands of women in the world, only she is different.
Xiao Jue turned sideways and looked away.
Seeing him like this, He Yan retracted his sleeves and got closer: "Is that so?"
"I didn't see murderous intent," Xiao Jue couldn't stand her entanglement, looked down at her, a smile flashed in his eyes, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he was deliberately angry with her, "It's just that he kept going out stupidly."
He Yan gritted his teeth: "Why don't you even say a good word for you?" She turned around and pretended to leave, suddenly turned around, bumped into someone, and almost fell into the other's arms.
After standing still, Chu Zhao stood in front of her and looked at her: "Miss He."
"... Fourth Young Master Chu."
Xiao Jue pulled He Yan back to his side, Chu Zhao first glanced at Xiao Jue, then his eyes fell on He Yan, still with a familiar gentle smile, "I already know about Miss He's happy event, congratulations in advance A happy wedding."
"Each each other." He Yan smiled and said, "I also wish the Fourth Young Master and Miss Xu to get married."
Chu Zhao heard the words, his eyes trembled slightly, as if a little sad, but he still bowed his hands to He Yan, and then walked forward.
Looking at his back, He Yan felt extremely bleak. He couldn't help but said to Xiao Jue beside him, "Xiao Jue, don't you think Fourth Young Master Chu is actually quite pitiful."
Xiao Jue said coldly, "I don't think so."
"How could it be? I think he..." He Yan whispered: "Maybe I don't like that Miss Xu very much. Human eyes can't deceive people, but his eyes are very wrong. When it comes to marriage, there is no joy at all, and it seems that he is still very sad. ."
"You look very carefully."
"After all, I was blind once before, so of course I have to look more carefully now... Unfortunately, the imperial decree has been issued, so he can only do this. Do you think he is... eh?" He Yan looked back and saw that Xiao Jue had already walked forward. After a while, she quickly caught up: "Xiao Jue, wait for me!"
After a while.
"Xiao Jue, are you angry?"
"No."
…
Baiguan stood on the square on the Star Terrace.
He Yan's official position cannot stand with Xiao Jue yet, but most of the people she was in thought that she was Xiao Jue's fiancee who was about to pass by, and they didn't dare to do anything to her. Also because of her small stature, she was afraid that she would not be able to see the picture on the high platform, so she deliberately left the first row to He Yan.
He Yan stood at the front, looking at the emperor on the stage.
On the high seat, Emperor Wenxuan looked at the hundred officials below the stage with a smile.
Hundreds of officials were dressed in official uniforms and stood neatly. From the outside, they were quite dignified. I heard that there are many peaks and mountains in Utuo Kingdom, and there are few plains. The palace is less than half of the palace of the Great Wei Dynasty. Whenever a sacrificial ceremony is held, the scene is very shabby.
He is old, and although he has not achieved much in political affairs, he hopes to leave behind one or two things worthy of praise. Too bad it hasn't been there for so many years. The ancient emperors were either famous in the history, or they were stigmatized for thousands of years. He should not think about them. The stigma was for thousands of years, and Emperor Wen Xuan did not have the courage to face the spit of future generations. Therefore, since he ascended the throne, he has never done anything like building large-scale construction and building Buddhist temples. Only by having a feast on the Star Stage today allowed him to regain some of the pride of being an emperor.
Several princes sat on one side. The fifth prince, Guangji, was still young and wanted to catch the beautiful cakes, but was stopped by Guang Shuo, who said softly, "Fifth brother, sit down, you represent the face of Da Wei."
Guang Ji flattened his mouth, but he behaved well and didn't dare to pick up that snack again.
Guang Yan glanced at the two of them with contempt in his eyes. Since Emperor Wen Xuan held a banquet on the Tianxing Terrace, he expressed his sincerity in accepting the Utuo Kingdom's request for peace. There is no rush to set up a restaurant for a while, and I will slowly figure it out in the future. As long as I can get the help of the Uto people, and then eradicate Xiao Huaijin, the slut of the fourth prince and Lan Fei will be his prisoner sooner or later.
He really, can't wait to get into that position.
Utuo's messenger Maningbu stepped forward, knelt down in front of Emperor Wenxuan and gave a big salute. A series of compliments came out of his mouth, probably praising the emperor's benevolence and broad-mindedness. The country is willing to befriend the Great Wei, and even respect the Great Wei.
The straight-talking Wenxuan Emperor Longyan Dayue.
Among the hundreds of officials in the audience, some were as proud as the crown prince, and others, like Wei Xuanzhang, wrote righteous indignation on their faces. What's more, it is the forbearance that dares to be angry and dare not speak. Everyone says that the surname of the Great Wei Dynasty is now not Song, but Xu. That's all, what happened to letting foreigners come to Tianxingtai in an upright manner? When did Da Wei start to come to such a field now
Among the generals, He Rufei stood at the front with a relaxed expression, and looked at the Utuo people with no hatred. On the contrary, Yan He, who was in the future, was full of anger, and his hands were already clenched into fists. If it weren't for the fact that he was at Tianxingtai at the moment, and the emperor was there at the moment, he might have rushed up to beat Maningbu.
Xiao Jue stood beside him, Yan He couldn't help but whisper: "What the hell is this little dwarf talking about, who is he lying to? They have 10,000 people, and besides, Da Wei is willing to befriend Wu Tuo, will their king believe it?"
Seeing that Xiao Jue didn't answer, Yan He was even more angry, and said sarcastically, "Aren't you General Feng Yun? Are you just watching the Utuo people run wild at Tianxingtai?"
Xiao Jue said calmly: "Aren't you a general in Guide? You want to teach them a lesson, why don't you go on your own?"
Yan He was speechless, snorted, and stopped talking.
On the other side, Emperor Wenxuan accepted the flattery and gifts from the messenger of Uto, and Manimbu said: "The warriors of Uto are the best at wrestling. At the ceremony and feast in Su Ri, they performed a wrestling match for the lord of the country. Today I would like to perform for Your Majesty."
Yan He said, "Banmen gets an axe."
In fact, Emperor Wenxuan himself did not like these knives and guns very much. After he himself ascended the throne, the court and China also multiplied Wen Qingwu. However, since it was proposed by the Utuo messenger himself, in order to show Dawei's tolerance and mind, it cannot be rejected. Therefore, he waved his hand lightly, "Yes."
Manimbu turned his head, and two burly men came out from among the messengers of the Uto people. These two men looked different from the short stature of the Uto people, and they were extraordinarily tall and strong. Her hair was tied in clumps of thin braids at the back of her head.
Maning preached: "Your Majesty, these are the two best warriors of Utuo Kingdom, Nadado and Hu Yunmu, I would like to embarrass Your Majesty."
The two utopian men walked to the open space in the center of the square, took off their outer clothes, it was freezing cold, shirtless, shouted loudly, and then hugged and wrestled together.
He Yan stood among the officials and heard the officials behind him whispering: "It really is a barbarian land. It's really indecent, very indecent, to be hugged together."
He Yan didn't think it was indecent, but only thought that this wrestling was actually about skill, not brute force. Others only see them hugging each other and trying to fall each other, but in fact it is not the case. Foot stumbling, back fall, mentality and speed are all areas that need to be paid attention to. These two Uto people are indeed not to be underestimated.
This wrestling took a long time to decide the winner. The officials of the Wei Dynasty, even the emperor, were actually a little bored watching, because the game was really not exciting and good-looking. After the comparison, you have to praise your conscience.
Emperor Wenxuan rewarded the two warriors with a plate of silver each. After Manimbu Shane said, "I heard that there are many talented people in the Wei army, and there are only a lot more warriors than the Uto Kingdom. Since the adults are here today, can Your Majesty be gracious and let the Uto warriors open their eyes?"
Is this to try
Emperor Wen Xuan's heart moved, and he suddenly became a little excited.
In the past, it was recorded in the wild history that when a certain country received foreign messengers, the princess of the foreign messenger made a provocative statement, but she was severely humiliated by the daughter of the general's family with the technique of shooting, which greatly increased her face. Although I don't know if it's true or not, the slap in the face that came to the door was really wonderful and couldn't be more wonderful.
There are so many people in Dawei, and there are so many talented people in the square today. In any case, two Uto people can win. What's more, Dawei people are thin and upright. Compared with the barbarians, they look pleasing to the eye. For example, Feihong and Feng Yun are both first-class and beautiful men. When they fight, they will definitely make Utuo people feel ashamed.
Emperor Wenxuan thought about this, and said cheerfully: "It's not difficult. I'm a big Wei man, I never back down. If you pick one of the generals, they will fight against it."
Emperor Wenxuan was not worried that some of the generals would be unable to beat the Uto people. As soon as the two Uto people didn't take their weapons just now, they knew that they would use brute force to hold them together, which showed that their skills were not good. Second, the Uto people must be really smart, and they wouldn't dare to win in the eyes of the public.
After all, the Utuo people also want to open a market in Dawei.
Maningbu smiled and said, "I heard that His Majesty awarded the first female marquis of Great Wei before."
Everyone on the field was startled.
Emperor Wen Xuan was also stunned, and said, "Not bad."
"That female marquis, among us Uto people, has also heard of her reputation. I heard that she went to the battlefield with General Feng Yun. She was very brave and intelligent. Can you be here today?"
Emperor Wenxuan frowned slightly. He never thought that when Maningbu picked someone, He Yan would be picked. This is full of civil and military affairs, but the Uto people chose a woman. How does a woman's physical strength compare to that of a man? Although he has heard of He Yan's achievements on the battlefield, he has also seen it with his own eyes. She is only a thin and weak woman, standing with the two Uto people just now, like a lamb and a black bear.
"She's a woman."
"But it's not an ordinary woman." Maningbu smiled and said, "There are also women in our country who are skilled in martial arts, but no woman has ever been an official in the court. Since she was brought by General Feng Yun, she must be different from ordinary women. Different. Your Majesty," he crouched down, "please let that mistress fight my Uto people."
Guang Shuo shook his head lightly, these Uto people made it clear that they were bullying women, or they were avenging private revenge. However, Guang Shuo's temperament of the father emperor was very clear, and he put his face the most seriously. Since he agreed, he would not go back on it.
Emperor Wenxuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Marquis of Wu'an."
He Yan stood up and saluted, "This minister is here."
"Compete with their warriors."
There was a moment of silence in the arena, and then, whispering voices gradually came.
Lin Shuanghe hurriedly asked Lin Mu beside him, "Father, how can you let a woman compete in martial arts?"
Lin Mu said, "Shut up."
Xiao Jing was also full of worry, Yan He stabbed Xiao Jue beside him with his arm, and couldn't help saying: "Hey, your wife has been chased and put on the shelves, why are you so calm? Xiao Huaijin, you are really ruthless. "
Xiao Jue ignored him.
He Yan stood up and did not answer the emperor's words, but looked at Maningbu and asked, "Messenger of Maningbu, what do you think of the two famous generals of Great Wei?"
Maningbu looked at the woman in front of him. Before he came to Dawei, He Yan's name had already spread in the Uto Kingdom. This woman fought side by side with Xiao Jue when they were in Jiyang City, and Huyat suffered a loss by herself during the war in Rundu City. Even the spies who had been sent to Liangzhou Weili were discovered by her at the beginning. Xiao Huaijin is terrifying, but this woman who was born out of nowhere is far from simple.
Just like the Feihong general He Rufei back then, she always has the ability to turn the tide. He Rufei, this eagle, has finally had his wings broken. Could it be that there will be a new rival of Utopia
Even if she's just a woman.
A woman who can kill on the battlefield is no longer a woman. In some ways, she is qualified to compete with men.
Maning preached: "General Feng Yun and General Feihong are both admirable heroes. It is a general that will only appear in a hundred years, no, a thousand years."
"It's a coincidence, I think so too." He Yan smiled slightly, "Just as the utopian warriors came to Dawei and wanted to learn from each other when they met a hero, He Yan also has a hero he admires. If you just want to see me You don't have to compete with me, Lord Manimbu," she said, "I am good at swords, and if it comes to wrestling, I cannot exert my strength. I can only compete with swords, and if I compete with swords, I will not compete with you. "
Emperor Wen Xuan's eyes lit up.
What He Yan meant was that he wanted to compare himself with Xiao Jue? This is very good. She and Xiao Jue will soon become husband and wife. If she wins, it can be said that Xiao Jue let her go. If she loses, she will lose to her own people anyway, and she will not lose Da Wei's face.
Thinking of this, Emperor Wenxuan immediately said: "I'm sure, it depends on Marquis Wu'an's skills and the category that Marquis Wu'an is good at. Marquis Wu'an, who do you want to compete with?"
The person on the field who was holding a breath for He Yan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. When Emperor Wenxuan said this, he gave He Yan a step down. Those officials who watched the excitement were also a little disappointed. He Yan was going to choose, and naturally he chose Xiao Jue. The husband and wife are discussing each other, and they can come up with whatever results they want.
Just when everyone was thinking like this, He Yan walked to the group of generals. She did not stop by Xiao Jue's side, and went straight to He Rufei before looking at the person in front of her.
"General Feihong," she smiled brightly, with a slight sarcasm, "I want to see your sword."
