Qin Ling nodded, and Yu Ma followed Jiang Xingchen to the front.After walking about three miles forward, I saw an inn.The luxurious carriage outside the inn, and the guards standing outside, Jiang Xingchen was sure that it was the team of envoys from the Eastern Region.

Jiang Xingchen looked at the carriage outside the inn, and said to Qin Ling, "Sister, let's go back today and come back here tomorrow morning."

Qin Ling turned his head to look at Jiang Xingchen and nodded.Jiang Xingchen and Qin Ling

Jiang Xingchen returned to the capital, and after entering the palace, he reported the matter to Xiao Jingqi, who said, "You just have to walk a few miles to meet him."

Jiang Xingchen said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the envoys from the Eastern Territory Kingdom reported to me that Xiao Guo arrived today. The minister and all the lords waited for three hours in the suburbs of Beijing for three hours, but they rested in the inn."

Xiao Jingqi said impatiently: "It's snowing heavily, just avoiding the snow."

Jiang Xingchen replied: "But the snow has stopped this morning, and the minister and all the ministers waited for two hours before the snow started again, and the envoys of the Eastern Region Kingdom have already rested in the inn all night, so there is no snow this morning. Didn't move."

Xiao Jingqi picked up the wine cup and drank it down in one gulp and asked, "How do you know they've slept all night."

"It's very simple. The wheels of their carriage have been buried in the snow. The height of the snow in the afternoon cannot reach the height that I can see." Jiang Xingchen replied analytically.

Xiao Jingqi blinked and looked at Shu Peng who was at the side, Shu Peng whispered something in his ear, Xiao Jingqi said seriously: "Then follow what Jiang Consort said, we will meet tomorrow."

There is only one reason why the envoys of the Eastern Territory Kingdom reported to the Xiao Kingdom that they had arrived today, but they did not go for a long time.Deliberately let the minister of Xiao Guo who greeted them wait.Let them wait a little longer in the cold, tease them.But it was snowing again later, and they still didn't leave, but it was more reason to let them stand outside the city overnight.If they didn't go, the ministers of Xiao Guo who were ordered to welcome the envoys would not dare to leave, for fear of losing Xiao Guo's demeanor of a country of etiquette.It can also be said that Xiao Guo stayed in the cold wind all night to welcome them, which shows their bowing heart to the Eastern Territory.

After Jiang Xingchen's analysis, he went back directly to talk to Xiao Jingqi. Xiao Jingqi originally questioned it, but Shu Peng said that Jiang Xingchen's analysis was correct. It was she who broke the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

The next day, Jiang Xingchen took a few ministers and guards and waited ten miles away in the suburbs of Beijing. Others suggested going directly to the inn to meet him, but Jiang Xingchen wanted to wait here, unless such a mountain village restaurant could accommodate a royal family. very comfortable.

Sure enough, after Jiang Xingchen and the others waited for a while, the envoys from the Eastern Region Kingdom came.

Jiang Xingchen took them to the palace, and Xiao Jingqi ordered someone to set up a dinner for the envoys, and ordered the ministers to bring their wives to the banquet, and those who were not good-looking would be replaced by concubines. Good-looking woman to take.

Jiang Xingchen didn't want Xiao Jingyin to attend such a banquet, but Xiao Jingqi made it clear that he was showing off how many beauties there are in Xiao Country.Jiang Xingchen felt very sour at the thought of having others come to see his wife.But as a courtier and an important minister, he had no choice but to take Xiao Jingyin with him.After entering the hall, Jiang Xingchen led Xiao Jingyin to a seat, opposite to Xiao Jingrui and Shu Peng.

At this time, Shu Peng was still in the future, and Xiao Jingrui was alone. Xiao Jingrui picked up the wine cup before the case, took a sip, and glanced at Xiao Jingyin who was opposite from the corner of his eyes, taking advantage of Xiao Jingqi and the envoys who had not yet arrived.She looked at Xiao Jingyin and said teasingly: "Young Master Jiang's life is really tough, he was shot by an arrow and fell into the river and still survived. The emperor's sister is so lucky, I thought you were going to remarry."

Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen raised his head instantly and stared at Xiao Jingrui with a chill in his eyes.

Jiang Xingchen thought about that arrow.She had checked the arrows and arrow feathers when she was in the village. There were obvious wear marks on the arrows, and the arrow feathers had also been removed.At that time, she wondered why it is necessary to sharpen the arrows and remove the arrow feathers when killing people.Thinking about it now, he wanted to erase the evidence proving the identity of the arrow's owner.

These are not the most important thing, the most important thing is that she never told anyone about the incident of being hit by the arrow, and during the fight, Jiang Xingchen forced him to the corner of the boat in order to entangle the man in black. The assassin, as well as the archer, knew that Jiang Xingchen had been hit by an arrow, and those men in black had been killed on the spot.

At this time, who would know that she was hit by an arrow?

Xiao Jingrui saw that Jiang Xingchen, who had always been gentle and gentle, suddenly changed his appearance, exuding killing intent all over his body. If he didn't shut up, he would be pierced by thousands of arrows in the next moment.

Xiao Jingrui lowered her eyes, not daring to look over.Xiao Jingyin also sensed the problem, and held Jiang Xingchen's slender fingers under the table.Jiang Xingchen looked at the owner of the finger, the coldness in his eyes faded immediately, only tenderness and love remained.

At this time Xiao Jingqi brought Shu Peng over, and all the people in His Highness stood up and knelt down to salute.Afterwards, Shu Peng whispered a few times to the servant, and the servant summoned loudly: "I invite the envoys of the Eastern Region Kingdom."

After the words fell, the envoys of the Eastern Region Kingdom, led by the Crown Prince Dong Xunxiu, brought the Crown Princess, along with Dong Xunyan and Princess Yan into the hall.There is no need to kneel down for diplomatic relations between the two countries.Soon the banquet began. The Crown Prince of the Eastern Region and Dong Xunyan were also outstanding in appearance, and the Crown Princess and Princess Wang were also outstanding among the women in the hall, but compared with Xiao Jingyin, they were still a bit inferior.

Jiang Xingchen looked at Dong Xunyan, who was looking at her wife frequently, and felt disgusted.Turning his body sideways to block Xiao Jingyin without any trace, Xiao Jingqi was talking with the Crown Prince of the Eastern Region.This time, the Eastern Region Kingdom sent the crown prince as an envoy to discuss the contract of commerce and peaceful coexistence.Dong Xunxiu, the crown prince of the Eastern Region Kingdom, brought a letter of credence for the peace talks, and when Xiao Jingqi also wrote a letter of credence for them to take back, a contract of peaceful co-existence between the two countries was reached.

When Xiao Xiucheng was in power, the two countries had equal strength.However, due to the war launched by the Cen Xi Kingdom in the north, they invaded the northern border of the Xiao Kingdom and invaded the Eastern Region Kingdom at the same time.Although the Eastern Territory was victorious, it was also severely injured and could no longer make enemies.Looking at Xiao Guo, which looks prosperous on the surface but is actually riddled with holes and is stronger than them, I am still afraid.If there is a war between the two countries, I am afraid that they will be annexed by Cen Xiguo.

For the sake of the survival of the two countries, they thought about signing a peace treaty.

Originally, Jiang Xingchen was supposed to draft this matter, but the position that had been vacated had actually fallen into Shu Peng's hands.Because of Xiao Xiucheng's last words, Xiao Jingqi did not withdraw Jiang Xingchen's position as Minister.

At the banquet, Xiao Jingqi didn't want to talk about state affairs, he said: "Prince Xunxiu, don't be in a hurry, we will talk in detail tomorrow, tonight we only talk about friends and don't talk about state affairs. Come, first taste the fine wine of my Great Xiao Kingdom." wine cup.

Dong Xunxiu smiled, picked up the wine cup, and faced Xiao Jingqi across the air.The wine has entered the intestines, how can it be done without singing and dancing.

After drinking a few more cups, Xiao Jingqi repeatedly praised Dong Xunxiu for his good drinking capacity, announced the prepared songs and dances, and sang and danced with wine to add to the fun. Xiao Jingqi looked at the two concubines of the Eastern Region Kingdom, and then at the queen beside him, and whispered The servant said to the servant: "Go and call Concubine Dong."

In his eyes, Concubine Dong is the most beautiful concubine in the harem. She can sing and dance. She is one of the ten concubines Shu Peng chose for him from Jiangnan. She was originally a singer.He is also extremely pampered, but there are still Yingying and Yanyan around him.Concubine Dong soon entered the hall with enchanting steps, and after saluting, Xiao Jingqi said: "Concubine Concubine Dong, let's add a bit of elegance to all the envoys."

Concubine Dong took the order, sat next to the guqin prepared for her, and began to stir the strings. Her singing voice was soft, but it was actually better than that of the singing and dancing girl just now.After a song, the whole house applauds.

Concubine Dong bowed, Xiao Jingqi hooked her hands, Concubine Dong walked over and sat on Xiao Jingqi's lap.Xiao Jingqi felt that his face was very long, but at the next moment, Dong Xunyan said: "Seeing that your majesty's concubine is both talented and beautiful, Xun Yan also wants my princess to play a song."

Xiao Jingqi raised his eyebrows, and said happily: "Of course, sure." Why not be happy to see the beauty playing.

Concubine Yan, born beautiful, although not as beautiful as Xiao Jingyin's, she can be regarded as a peerless beauty.Jiang Xingchen listened to them absent-mindedly. After Princess Yan finished, he won the applause of the whole hall. Jiang Xingchen followed the people in the hall and applauded without emotion.Xiao Jingqi caught a glimpse of her not being very interested, and said to Jiang Xingchen, "Does Concubine Jiang feel that Concubine Dong and Concubine Yan's piano skills are not as good as those of Princess Nine?"

Before Jiang Xingchen could reply, Xiao Jingqi ordered: "Then let the Ninth Princess and the Fifth Princess sing and dance together." They were talking about Xiao Jingrui, who is good at singing and dancing, and Xiao Jingyin, who is good at rhythmic guqin.They are all married people, it is not appropriate to come to this hall, Jiang Xingchen feels warm and angry when he is going to perform in public.

Sitting on the seat, Xiao Jingyin lowered his eyes and thought, but did not move.When Xiao Jingrui was about to get up.Jiang Xingchen said in a deep voice: "My wife is not feeling well today, please take your majesty back."

It's not a family banquet, how could Jiang Xingchen allow Xiao Jingyin to perform in this hall to receive foreign envoys?They let their concubines perform, and they don't mind humiliating their concubines, she can't control them.But she couldn't let Xiao Jingyin be humiliated as well, Xiao Jingyin was hers, someone she wanted to protect and cherish for the rest of her life.

Xiao Jingqi pretended not to hear her objection, and said to the servant: "Come here, go and move the Qin here."

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Xingchen snapped.

Xiao Jingqi looked at Jiang Xingchen, Jiang Xingchen's tone could no longer be refuted, and said, "I hope His Majesty will take it back!"

Xiao Jingqi was slapped in the face, and he gritted his teeth in a moment of anger and whispered: "Don't be ignorant."

Jiang Xingchen cupped his hands, the determination and cold pressure in his eyes made Xiao Jingqi shrink back.But still out of face, he said: "The Ninth Princess is the person with the most outstanding piano skills in the royal family of the Xiao Kingdom, does Prince Consort Jiang want to keep it for himself?"

Exclusive?Why can't her wife enjoy it to herself.

"Yes." Jiang Xingchen replied in a cold voice.

Xiao Jingqi was angrily clutching the glazed cup and creaking it. Seeing that Jiang Xingchen collided with Xiao Jingqi's words in order to protect her, he got up and saluted Xiao Jingqi: "Jingyin felt a bit dizzy due to the wind and cold yesterday. Xingchen is also worried about Jingyin. It disturbed the interest of the emperor and the envoys. I also hope that the emperor will allow me and Xingchen to go back to the mansion to rest."

Seeing that Xiao Jingyin gave the steps, Xiao Jingqi calmed down and said, "Since the Ninth Princess is unwell, Prince Consort Jiang will accompany you back to the residence to rest."

Jiang Xingchen bowed his hands again, his face was still warm, until Xiao Jingyin held one of her hands, she raised her head and looked at her wife with a gentle look.

Only halfway through the palace banquet, Jiang Xingchen and Xiao Jingyin left the palace.

After returning home, Jiang Xingchen was still thinking about the matter of being hit by the arrow, and was absent-minded about everything he did.Xiao Jingyin thought of Jiang Xingchen's behavior after hearing Xiao Jingrui's words.

Asked softly: "The archer is Shu Peng?"

Jiang Xingchen raised his head, and replied softly: "It's not sure yet, but it must be related to him."

The author has something to say:

Jiang Xingchen: "Madam is mine."

Xiao Jingyin: "I am yours, and you are mine."
