"Sir, today is our king's wedding. Isn't it bad for you to delay the auspicious time here?" Denton didn't want to immediately stalemate the relationship with Rouran Xianbei, so he gave another step.
But the Rouran envoy seemed not to understand and continued to chatter endlessly, talking about how the former Huns kings had many wives and concubines.
When the Rouran envoy realized something was wrong, he looked around and saw that the Xianbei envoy had already left.
Feeling uneasy, he glanced around the hall and found that everyone was looking at him expressionlessly.
On the throne, Gita finally spoke: "Have you finished speaking, sir?"
"Say, it's over." Rouran swallowed, feeling increasingly bad.
Especially when he saw the regent and his wife of Qi, he felt a little cold all over.
Jita calmly ordered: "Now that it's finished, let's go down."
"Oh." Rouran whispered, preparing to leave.
Not wanting to be stopped by He Lai's people just after taking a few steps, he immediately turned around and saw He Lai standing behind him and commanding: "Drag him out and behead him!"
"How can you kill the envoy! You can't do this!" The Rouran envoy immediately panicked and shouted, but unfortunately he was still dragged out of the hall.
Finally, there was no outside interference, and Denton immediately ordered the ceremony to begin.
At night, Fu Lie stayed in the main hall with Zhi Ta, while Wen Qingzhu went to Lei Shuo's wedding room.
The person serving Lei Shuo was actually Re Yimu.
"See Princess." Reyimu bowed and saluted.
Wen Qingzhu raised his hand and walked straight into the house without saying anything else.
She didn't want to cross the threshold, but Reyimu reached out to stop her: "Princess! You can't go in now."
"Why?" Wen Qingzhu looked at her sideways.
Reyimu replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "You are the concubine of the King of Qi, and you have great power. It would be better if you wait until the king comes back and go see the queen."
After hearing her words, Wen Qingzhu turned around with a chuckle and looked at Reyimu up and down: "The fact that you can be reused by Zhita shows that your ability overwhelms his doubts about you."
"The princess is overly praised. I am just fulfilling my duty and serving the future king of the Huns." Re Yimu didn't like to be very wary of Wen Qingzhu before, but now he is even more wary.
Wen Qingzhu reached out and Re Yimu grabbed her wrist reflexively. The secret guard following Wen Qingzhu immediately appeared, with six swords pointed at Re Yimu's Liu Chu vitals.
The atmosphere condensed instantly, Re Yimu immediately let go of her hand knowingly, and the sword pointing at her vitals immediately disappeared, leaving no one around.
Re Yimu took a deep breath, took a step back, raised his hand and pointed into the room: "Princess, please."
Such a quick response made Wen Qingzhu appreciate it: "No wonder Zita is willing to keep you, you are indeed a rare person."
Turning around and going in, Re Yimu looked at Wen Qingzhu's back and said, "It's not entirely because of my ability. It's because General He Lai agreed to accept me, so the king decided to keep me in the palace."
Wen Qingzhu paused and did not look back. He just said lightly: "Even if there is no He Lai, Jiota will arrange for you to go elsewhere. If there is He Lai who will use his life as a guarantee, then you will continue to be in charge of the inner court. There’s nothing wrong with that, after all, someone who can serve the second prince can also serve the queen properly.”
After entering the room, Wen Qingzhu arrived at the door of the room and saw Lei Shuo walking around in the room.
"Sister Shuo."
Lei Shuo immediately turned around, walked up to her quickly, grabbed her hand and asked, "Reyimu didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Pulling Lei Shuo over to sit down, Wen Qingzhu explained: "It's not difficult for me. She is a smart person. Although she is Li Geng's old minister, she is now the king. She will not have other thoughts."
"That's good. Just now I heard someone said that Reyimu was making things difficult for you. I wanted to go over and have a look in person, but I felt that since I had just arrived, it would be inappropriate to go out and stand up for you like this. After all, you are the regent princess, and she wouldn't know how to do it. I'm embarrassing you." Lei Shuo said, still feeling very guilty, after all, she still didn't go out to help Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu looked around and saw that everyone here was one of his own. Fang Yu said earnestly: "Sister Shuo, you are the Queen of the Huns, and you are on an equal footing with Zhita. You don't need to worry about pleasing anyone, let alone the more than 7,000 people who have been sent here. Among the dowry, 3,000 of them are the regular army of the Lu family, and 3,000 of the craftsmen are the army of the Ruan family of your uncle's family. Don't be afraid of anyone."
"Won't the Lu Jiajun take it away?" Wen Qingzhu took out the Lu Jiajun's token and handed it to Lei Shuo, "Take this, the dowry sent from the capital is enough for you to support your men for twenty years, you don't have to worry at all. "
Lei Shuo only felt that this token was very hot: "I'm not worried that I can't afford it, but it's not appropriate for Lu Jiajun to give it to me as a dowry."
Wen Qingzhu said matter-of-factly: "What's inappropriate? You saved Lu Chuan several times back then, and he owes you three lives! It's not a big deal if you marry a Huns, and three thousand cavalry will be your dowry."
"Does Ta only know about this?" Lei Shuo started to worry again.
"I don't know. When we left, he probably knew that we didn't take away the three thousand Lu Jiajun. As for the Ruan Jiajun, Fu Lie also hid this from me before. When I came here just now, I looked through what you brought with you. When they came over to the roster, they discovered that Ruan Jiajun was also among them.
Sooner or later, Ji Ta will know about this matter. It's up to you to decide whether to tell him or not. Anyway, everyone is here and there is no reason to send him back. In short, just feel at ease. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Zhita, Reyimu, or Denton Herai directly. "
"Go directly to Denton Helai?" Lei Shuo thought for a long time and could vaguely understand the meaning.
Denton Helai was Zhita's confidant, and Reyimu was also Zhita's person who served her. According to the Huns' rules, the Hun king and queen were equal.
The most important thing is that she has soldiers in her hands. She really doesn't need to be afraid of anyone. As long as she doesn't deliberately do anything to damage the relationship between the two countries, she can do whatever she wants.
In short, there will be no scruples.
After thinking about this, Lei Shuo suddenly felt less afraid. He looked at the time and saw that it would be a long time before Tata came back.
"Are you hungry? I'll have someone bring you some food?" In fact, it was Lei Shuo who was hungry.
Wen Qingzhu nodded, but he was counting the time in his heart. The two princesses should be coming by this time.
After the dinner was delivered, they started to use their chopsticks when Reyimu came in and reported: "Queen, Princess Rouran and Princess Xianbei want to see you."
"What are they here for?" Previously in the main hall, Zita's attitude had been very clear, at least today he would not accept them.
Reyimu reported back: "The Rouran envoy is dead, and the Xianbei envoy has already said goodbye and left. The king has ordered them to go back wherever they came from, but the envoy died and walked away, and they were left behind with nowhere to go. But when I went, I thought of asking the queen. She must have thought that the queen has just arrived and can't make the decision. If you ask, they can stay."
"I won't find it difficult to see you during the wedding today!" Lei Shuo turned his head and didn't want to pay attention to it at all.
Just as Re Yimu was about to leave, Wen Qingzhu stopped her and called out: "Wait!"
"What are your orders from the princess?" Reyimu turned around and asked respectfully.
I saw Wen Qingzhu pulling Lei Shuo up and raising an arrogant smile: "Why don't you see me! Since my face has been shown, if I don't teach them a lesson, they will think that they will be easy to bully in the future!"
Lei Shuo was a little confused: "This is not good, if someone is killed..."
Before she finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu interrupted her: "Sister Shuo, when we were in the main hall just now, we had already killed the Rouran envoy. Now Princess Rouran comes to you, isn't it because you are easy to bully? There are some people you If you ignore her, she will think you are scared. In order to avoid this kind of situation happening again in the future, it is better to make a name for yourself as soon as possible."
"Is that so?" Lei Shuo hesitated.
Re Yimu in front of them frowned slightly, his eyes constantly moving back and forth on Wen Qingzhu and Lei Shuo.
Seeing that Lei Shuo seemed to be about to make a decision, Reyimu decided to take a risk and persuade her: "The queen has just come to the Huns. Some things are better to be solved after getting familiar with this place."
"Haha." Wen Qingzhu instantly covered his lips with a smile, raised his eyes and stared at Reyimu, and asked meaningfully, "They are just chess pieces sent by Rouran and Xianbei. Why do you protect them like this?"
Lei Shuo's expression condensed for a moment, something was indeed wrong. Reyim was a Huns, and now he was protecting foreigners.
Among them, the Rouran envoy was even killed, and there was no need for Reyimu to worry about a mere Princess Rouran.
Seeing that Sister Shuo finally realized the problem, Wen Qingzhu slowly circled around Reyimu and kept looking at her: "After all, you are just a female officer sent by Zita to assist the queen. Instead of helping your queen, you are helping the queen." Outsider, are you Rouran’s spy?”
"Princess, please be careful what you say!" Reyimu said very seriously, but did not continue to explain.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and began to speak: "First of all, your king has given an order to let them go back wherever they came from. Theoretically, they cannot reach the inner court, but now they are outside the door, and the palace guards dare not let them in. , but they still came in, so someone brought them in."
Stopping behind Re Yimu, Wen Qingzhu leaned close to her ear and lowered his voice: "A person with this ability must be a noble or above. He must be very jealous of the queen. She can't do anything on her own, so she wants to borrow a knife to kill someone. So today I Just show her what it means to kill people and kill people!"
After saying this, Wen Qingzhu took Lei Shuo out and soon met Rouran and Xianbei.
The two people in front of them are beautiful and well-dressed. They seem to be the two princesses.
The one on the left saw them coming out and immediately knelt down, crying pitifully: "Queen! Queen! Please save us. If you don't take us in, we will only die. Doesn't your Qi country say that saving one life is better than the other?" Build a seven-level pagoda? Can’t you watch us die?”
"Then what?" Wen Qingzhu raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Princess Rouran indifferently. She looked pitiful, but the hatred in her eyes could not be completely concealed.
On the contrary, the Xianbei Princess next to her only looked solemn, neither crying nor fussing, looking very stable.
Princess Rouran was startled. Of course she knew who Wen Qingzhu was and the legend of Wen Qingzhu in Rouran.
She pinched herself secretly and let her tears roll down: "Princess, I know you have a kind heart. As a woman, why should you embarrass a woman?"
"Yes, why bother a woman? You know that today is the queen's wedding, but you still openly come to make trouble, crying and crying, hoping that everyone can hear it. You think that if you are good-looking, the Hun King will look at you more. Do you take a look?"
"I-"
Wen Qingzhu looked at her mockingly, and before she could speak, he said: "There are many good-looking people, but brains are always so rare. Do you really think the queen will be deceived by you? There is no one in Qi who can discern people's hearts. You still have some skills, do you think you are pretending to be good? You just want to use the queen's mouth to keep it, and you will slowly plot in the future."
Princess Rouran was horrified, but her face became increasingly sad and moving. She kept wiping her tears and said softly: "Princess, you really misunderstood, I really-"
"Princess, I don't want to stay." Princess Xianbei interrupted suddenly.
