Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

In the time of You, Fengyi Palace gave a banquet, because now Fengyi Palace is the place where the queen discusses matters, and the whole hall is newly decorated, with brilliant colors and embroidery, as bright as day.

Palace people come and go like a shuttle.

In fact, Wei Ruozhu actually arranged a banquet today to receive the envoys from Taixi, and to clean up Daiyu and Ningyun by the way.

Zhentai's guard Ruozhu sat at the head, and the princess and princess were only called Meng Jiachen and Lin Yuzhen. Among the six palaces, only Shi Lanyun came out to accompany them. It is probably because of Ning Yun that he deliberately Arrange the two sisters at the same table.The six major scholars in the cabinet, the officials of the second rank in the court, the four kings and eight princes, the meritorious families in the capital, the envoys from the Siamese Qianxiang Kingdom who came to celebrate the Queen Mother’s birthday and did not leave, the foreign wives of the third rank and above, some even He brought his daughter who was not out of the court, and wanted to take this opportunity to pick a son-in-law. Basically, people with names and surnames in the capital are almost here.

In fact, according to the rules of the late emperor, female relatives generally would not attend such a scene.

Ever since the emperor fell ill and the empress became regent, the defense of men and women in the ruling class of the Jin Dynasty was basically in vain. Once the ruling class relaxed, the atmosphere in the entire capital immediately relaxed.

The cabinet has more important things to be busy with. At least the officials headed by the chief assistant agreed to sail south, and the officials headed by some second assistants suggested that the people should be divided into the mu first. Naturally, there is a pile of mess left by the late emperor. The two factions fought It was an exhilaration. At first, these people didn't have the heart to take care of this matter, but they waited until they felt that something was wrong.

——This matter started from the fact that Shoufu's original magnanimous wife resolutely reconciled when he wanted to bring another concubine into the family. By the way, she made a fuss in front of the queen, and divided up most of Shoufu's family property with the queen mother's will. When I returned home and remarried to Yushi Zhongcheng.

At that time, Shoufu and other talents realized that the atmosphere in the whole capital was not quite right.

Where did the original gentle and generous yellow-faced lady go?

But by then it was too late, like water poured out, how could the bird that was out of the cage be locked back?

In the past, men and women sat in different seats at the age of seven and set up screens when they met. Now girls from prominent families can go to see each other in person when choosing a husband. If they are not satisfied with the woman's family, they also have the right to withdraw the marriage.

No one has the guts to say anything to the queen, especially after the former censor Zhongcheng's family was cut into blank slates, and after the ex-shoufu's wife heard Shoufu's sarcastic remarks, she came to the door to beat Shoufu for three days and did not dare to go to the court At that time, all the officials turned to praise the queen's merits.

Of course, this matter also has a share of credit for various internal and external wives. Who doesn't have a wife?To achieve their current status, at least the youngest must be in their 40s.

Taixi's envoy was a guest and arranged to sit at the opposite table with Meng Jiachen.

Lan Yun pulled down Ning Yun's sleeve, and said, "What are people from Taixi doing here at this time?"

She has been in the palace for a long time, from a lady who is ignorant of the world to a person who has the ability to keep the whole palace in a tight place. Although the guard is tight-lipped, she still inquired about the Queen of Scotland's coming. .

Among the people present today, the envoys from Taixi did not give orders until the last moment, especially when they arrived at Fengyi Palace, it was the Governor of Indonesia who came.

So Lan Yun has been a little restless since he sat in Fengyi Palace.

"Why are you in a hurry? There are empress dowagers on the left and right. And don't you think it looks like a Hongmen banquet today?" Ning Yun scanned the audience, and basically knew who came to the banquet, so he knew What kind of banquet is this—because apart from the meritorious families and second-rank officials who must attend the general royal banquets, only the commanders of the five armies, and basically all the people from the Ministry of War have arrived.

Ning Yun also knew about the visit of the Queen of Scotland, but she was also a little uncertain about what Wei Ruozhu wanted to do.

The only thing she can guarantee is that nothing serious will happen.

She turned her head to the side, and just as Daiyu gave her a questioning look, she shook her head without showing any signs.

It seems that Daiyu, one of the maids, doesn't know what card Wei Ruozhu is going to play.

Empress Dowager Zhen is a clear spring, she knows her thinking mode and method of doing things as soon as she passes three sentences. Learned a bit smooth.

Except for some important matters, Wei Ruozhu is young, hot-tempered, and prone to hot-headedness. When she was in the East Palace, although she was named a prince concubine, she was still a concubine. Above all, he vented all his grievances on overseas and external affairs.

Especially in the exchanges with Thailand, France, Russia and other countries, it basically overturned all the rules of Huairou in the late emperor's time, and from time to time he made excuses that peace is the most important thing, teasing the sensitive nerves of the colonies of these Western European countries, but still Fortunately, the Jin Dynasty is strong now, with strong soldiers and strong horses. They can fight when they want to, and make peace when they want to. No major incidents have happened.

Wei Ruozhu also knew how to measure. The power in the country was complicated. The late emperor had created a balance situation where all the ministers were in their own way. Major affairs of the government were handled by the cabinet, and only major affairs were reported to her and the Empress Dowager Zhen.

Except that Jiangnan is too hard to see, she can't move easily. Many concubines in the sixth palace are newcomers who entered the palace later. The affairs are in charge of the Ministry of Rites, but although Shen Tou, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is the chief assistant, he has never been outside of the Jin Dynasty. Some things are uncertain, so he came to ask the Queen for instructions, so the Queen suppressed her anger for several years. All went to Thailand and other countries.

To describe it in a sentence that Minister of the Ministry of Rites can't laugh or cry to Wei Ruozhu, this is because I don't like you. All of a sudden.

The more elegant way of saying it is naturally: Anyone who offends my power will be punished no matter how far away.

Of course, Wei Ruozhu's attitude became tough, but other countries didn't dare to accept the move. When the first emperor was in Russia, Russia was so happy in the north, and it was a matter of what lake or place. As a result, he changed people and changed his attitude——Wei Ruozhu The original words were either you go back by yourself, or I beat you back, and Russia will immediately wither, because they were afraid of being beaten in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Meng family defeated Mongolia that day, and domestic affairs disputes There are also many with Finland, and they are unwilling to go to war on both sides.

The status of the French imperial power is declining, and it looks like it was in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. There are frequent infighting among the nobles, and they pay no attention to these trivial matters. Moreover, the nominal regent queen mother is the queen of Scotland. There is no criticism of Wei Ruozhu's actions.

As for Taixi, the Jin Dynasty held the Queen of Scots card in his hand, and could only swallow his anger without tearing his face.

——But now that Elizabeth is firmly seated on the throne, the first thing she does is to send envoys to court, so it cannot be said that there is a conclusion.

After drinking for the third round, Wei Ruozhu and the Empress Dowager Zhen looked at each other, and Wei Ruozhu filled the cups, "For many days, the family of the gentlemen has devoted their lives to me, and the empress mother and I will respect the family of the honorable servants with a glass together."

Headed by the six cabinet scholars, they got up and thanked in unison.

Then Wei Ruozhu turned to the Governor of Indonesia, raised his glass with Meng Jiachen, and said with a big smile, "There are guests coming from afar, so it is a great pleasure for me to be the host."

Then the topic changed, "But if an enemy comes from afar, they will come in vertically and go out horizontally."

Ning Yun coughed.

Lan Yun couldn't swallow half of the wine in his mouth, so he had to secretly spit it into the handkerchief.

Daiyu glanced at Meng Jiachen who was shaking his hands with a smile.

Shen Tou glanced at Wei Yansheng.

Wei Yansheng didn't dare to look at his colleagues around him because of drinking, but he could also feel that someone would prick a hole in his back with his eyes.

The Indonesian governor from Thailand and the West couldn't understand Mandarin, so he smiled silly, served the wine and said, "thank you. cheers, my beautiful Queen."

"..." Lin Yuzhen, as one of the few who understood what the Indonesian Governor said, was speechless.

Although Ning Yun basically doesn't speak Manchu and Mongolian nowadays, he almost forgot, and since he was discovered by Wang that he can write Manchu, he no longer dares to write Manchu. Except for Mongolian, he basically can't speak Manchu. I still vaguely remember some Fusang language, but of course it is limited to being able to understand and speak, writing is useless.

She also regretted it a bit, at that time, in order to be lazy, most of the conversations with the ladies who came over from Taixi were given to Feng Jiwen.

But at least she understood this sentence, she wanted to laugh a little bit, but she couldn't.

"What is he talking about?" Lan Yun whispered to Ning Yun.

"It's nothing, he didn't understand what the queen was saying." Ning Yunyi said concisely.

The governor's entourage secretly whispered in his ear and said a few words, which should be a tactful translation of what Wei Ruozhu said.

The governor scratched his hair under the wig, which was like brilliant golden water, a little embarrassed, and muttered, "itis not right." He chatted eloquently.

Except for the previous sentence, his French accent was too strong, and Ning Yun basically couldn't understand it.

Wei Ruozhu directly raised his eyebrows and said, "Since everyone is sitting here, how is the governor's health?"

Everyone who asked this question was taken aback, but Shen Tou let out a sigh of relief. Only now did the queen speak according to the question and method they discussed, and secretly relaxed a little.

The follower was dumbfounded, thinking that he didn't hear clearly, he was from Taixi, so he blurted out subconsciously: "pardon?"

"Your Majesty would like to know how the governor is doing." Lin Yuzhen stood up and said in Thai. She knew that Wei Ruozhu was proficient in Thai after being tested by Shajia once, but as the mother of the country, she would naturally pretend that she knew it No, she, a princess who is half a queen's personal servant, naturally wants to speak for the queen.

Only then did the entourage translate the past.

The governor was stunned, and after a long time he stammered and said: "fine, I'm, I'm, I'm fine."

"That's good." Wei Ruozhu had a half-smile, and she glanced at Shen Tou, who suddenly felt something was wrong and froze.

He seems to have relaxed a little earlier.

Sure enough, Wei Ruozhuxia asked Pitou: "I remember that your country believes in Christianity, but you use a Protestant queen. It's funny to say. I heard that the reason why your country abolished Catholicism is because its teachings have The nature of some kind of persecution," Wei Ruozhu sipped his wine with a half-smile, "but I would like to ask the governor, since your country promotes the equality of all living beings, but under this banner, it bullies and annexes weaker neighboring countries, persecutes The local people are dying, what do you think about this issue?"

Lin Yuzhen froze for the moment, her face turned pale, and she glanced at Queen Mother Zhen as if asking for help.

Empress Dowager Zhen was already stupid, because Wei Ruozhu didn't follow the original plan at all.

What they had discussed at the beginning was just to use this opportunity to draw out that Mary Stuart is now in my court in a good manner. If one day you tear yourself apart with me, I will borrow troops to support the new queen.

The atmosphere in Fengyi Palace suddenly became strange.

Wei Ruozhu raised his chin slightly and looked at Lin Yuzhen with a smile.

Lin Yuzhen had no choice but to bite the bullet and translate the words. Knowing that Wei Ruozhu knew Thai and Spanish, she didn't dare to change the wording without authorization.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the governor's face flushed instantly, Huo Di stood up suddenly, and said in the only few Jin Dynasty dialects he learned now: "This is our country's internal affairs, and your hands are too much in charge."

"Why laugh at a hundred steps at fifty steps?" Wei Ruozhu answered quickly.

It refers to the affairs of Fusang country.

Edward von Windsor, Governor of Indonesia, is only in his early 20s. He has only inherited the title for less than three years, and he has only been in Indonesia for half a year. Where has he seen such a battle?Moreover, Wei Ruozhu's words were not only sharp but also watertight, he immediately didn't know how to answer, and the smile froze on his face.

And when it comes to speaking softly, sharply and infinitely, the language of the Jin Dynasty has a unique advantage.

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Lin Yuzhen (daily heartache): The empress of our country is a late-stage patient of the second disease, and she has cleaned up all the "friendly" neighbors in three years.

Ning Yun: I have been petrified, please burn the paper if you have anything to do

Daiyu: Wait, I heard that my daughter has a temper like her mother, so it must not be true.

Shi Lanyun: Hey, hey, please translate, I can’t understand Thai

Wei Ruozhu: Kneel down to this queen

Shen Tou: Let you read it from the manuscript, please don’t play it freely
