Unparalleled Concubine

Although this incident sounds absurd, it actually happened, because at that time the national power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was tyrannical, and these "second barbarians" were still very popular in the territory of Jin Dynasty, and they would even be superior to others.

However, this situation changed completely when Ye Cheng broke through the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty more than 40 years ago. Later, in order to prevent the Jin court from being cleared, not only the "second barbarians" in the Jin Dynasty, but even those who had not had time to escape outside the pass The real Northern Zhou royal family also changed Yuwen's surname to Han surname. After more than 40 years, the surname Yuwen has basically disappeared in the land of Jin Dynasty.

And claiming to be surnamed Yuwen and coming from the north, his identity is already obvious.

It was approaching the end of the new year, and it was quite cold in the capital, so Li Xin put on a padded jacket and walked slowly to the front hall of his house.

In the front hall, a woman wearing a moon-white jacket was sitting quietly on a chair waiting for Li Xin's arrival. After seeing Li Xin walking in, the woman slowly got up and gave Li Xin a blessing.

"The little girl has seen Lord Li Hou."

Only then did Li Xin see her appearance clearly.

This is a woman whose appearance is slightly different from that of a woman from the Central Plains. In comparison, her frame is slightly larger, and her facial features are more majestic, but her hair is jet-black. At first glance, it is almost indistinguishable from Han people. respectively.

After all, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty first entered the pass, they also served as emperors in the pass for more than a hundred years. During these more than a hundred years, the Xianbei people and the Han people intermarried in large numbers, so that even the Yuwen royal family like Yu Wenzhao had more or less Han people in their bodies. of blood.

Although their appearance is still different from that of the Han people, the difference is not obvious.

Li Xin just took a brief look at the woman, then sat directly on the head seat of his family, and said indifferently: "Yu Wenzhao asked you to come?"

The woman nodded with a smile, then took out a delicate document from her sleeve, and handed it on the table in front of Li Xin: "The little girl's name is Yu Wenque, and my father Yu Wenzhao, by order of her father, came to visit Lord Hou."

Her official speech is very standard, even more standard than that of her father Yu Wenzhao. Just this official speech surpasses [-] to [-]% of the officials in the court.

In this era, there was an official language similar to Putonghua, but it was far from being popularized. Every time Li Xin went to the office of the Ministry of War, he heard the weird dialects of the Ministry of War, and he was always the first and the second.

Xianbei people don't have as many rules as Han people, and they don't shy away from their father's name, so she said it directly.

Sitting on the main seat, Li Xin glanced at the woman indifferently.

"The girl is dressed like a Xianbei."

Yu Wenque smiled slightly: "In Master Hou's mind, we Xianbei people must wear animal skins?"

"Father has liked Sinology since he was a child, and he also liked Han clothes. Even the little girls grew up wearing these, and my Yuwen family once ruled the Central Plains. At that time, I was probably more particular about the clothes than the royal family of Jin. "

Living a good life and never having a good life are two different things. The Yuwen family has enjoyed the blessings in the customs for more than 100 years, and their vision has come up. So far, the upper class of the Yuwen family rarely wears Xianbei clothes.

Li Xin lowered his head and took a sip of tea,

"If I remember correctly, the last reign title of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was called Baique." (This is the reign title of the later Qin Dynasty in history.)

"It seems that Yuwen Tianwang has been thinking all these years, and he wants to restore the country."

Yu Wenque quickly lowered her head: "Master Hou misunderstood, my father sent the little girl to the capital of Jin to pay homage to the emperor of Jin, to pay homage to the emperor of Jin."

A few days ago, after repeated attacks by Ye Mao and the Zhong family army, the Yuwen tribes in the north suffered serious setbacks. Now there is only one Yuwen Zhao tribe and one Yuwen Helan tribe left. The entire Yuwen tribe has been seriously injured, but Yuwen The Zhao department has annexed the Futu department and most of the Qigui department. As long as it survives this period of time, it will grow rapidly.

Of course, this takes time.

Therefore, it was normal for him to send people to the capital to seek peace with Da Jin. After all, he wanted to buy time for his tribe to digest the Buddha's tribe.

Lord Jing'an was expressionless.

"According to the rules of the imperial court, even if the Yuwen family wants to become a minister, they should send a man."

Li Xin's words did not mean to discriminate against women at all, it was because women were somewhat looked down upon in this era, and there were almost no women in positions like envoys.

"Master Hou misunderstood, the little girl is not an envoy."

She stood in front of Li Xin and saluted Li Xin generously: "Father means that I will be given to you Jin as a gift for this pilgrimage."

Lord Jing'an was a little confused.

He can understand the "marriage" negotiated by the two parties, but how can there be such a "gift" that he has grown two legs and sent himself over?

But this is a very normal thing among Xianbei people. The weak offer the most beautiful girl in their tribe to the strong to please the strong and achieve the goal of "reconciliation".

This is another sense of kinship.

Lord Jing'an was silent for a while, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said slowly: "In this case, the girl should go to the palace, or go to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites. Why did you come to me?"

Yuwenque lowered his head.

"According to my father's intention, as a gift of pilgrimage, give me to the emperor of Jin to be a woman, but when we first arrived in the capital, we heard that your emperor died."

Having said that, she looked up at Li Xin,

"Thus, I remembered the Marquis Li that my father mentioned, and brought my servants to visit Marquis Li."

As she spoke, she pointed to the gift list: "This is a gift prepared by my father for Lord Li, and it must satisfy Lord Li."

Li Xin looked at the envelope with a calm expression.

"Girl, you have found the wrong person. I am no longer in charge of Jimenguan in northern Xinjiang, nor in the Central Book Office. At this time, I can neither affect northern Xinjiang nor the imperial court. I will intervene in the affairs of Yuwen's family." Don't go in."

With that said, he pushed the gift slip back.

"Li has no luck."

"There's no need for Marquis Li to do anything."

Yuwenque stood up, gritted his teeth embarrassingly, bowed his head and said: "As long as Lord Li tells the Jin court not to attack our Yuwen clan, it will be fine. At that time, the gifts will not only be those on the gift list, I will also I will stay with Lord Li as a gift, and be his concubine's concubine."

She originally wanted to refer to women, but she knew some Han people's etiquette and rules, so she changed her name to "concubine's room".

Speaking of this, this Xianbei girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old lowered her head in embarrassment, pinching the corner of her clothes with her hands, her face flushed.

"Also invite Lord Li..."

Lord Jing'an sat on the chair, feeling a little dazed for a while.

How could this be reasonable? Why didn't this girl say a few words, and she just pretended to be her mistress?

Then wouldn't he be a generation shorter than Yu Wenzhao?

Chapter 838 Brother

Lord Jing'an looked at the Xianbei woman calmly, and said calmly, "Your father asked you to say that?"

Yuwen Que shook his head.

"My father only said that he wanted me to give some gifts to Lord Li after I came to the capital. Those just now were my own ideas."

"Father said that Marquis Li is a capable man, and his status in Jin is second only to the emperor. I think since the emperor can't get married, it's the same to marry Marquis Li."

Li Xin nodded.
