When I Ditched the Protagonist [Quick Transmigration]

Because of A Yue's incident, the birthday gift prepared for the little emperor in the palace almost lost the protagonist. Fortunately, King Zhenbei escorted him in time and sent the emperor back to the imperial palace in the capital safely. The lights are decorated with festive colors.

The congratulatory gifts from foreign envoys and county governors from all over the country were sent to the court like flowing water.

Xiao Miyun was sitting on the dragon chair during the court meeting, different from the happy expression she imagined, she found that when it was time to receive these gifts, apart from some joy on her face, she was more anxious... If it hadn't been for being Standing guard on this dragon chair, does she deserve so many gifts by herself?

Can she be an emperor who is worthy of courtiers and the people of the world?

Once there are too many thoughts, the time sitting on the dragon chair will be extremely long, and even become a kind of torment, so that after the court meeting, when she went to the side hall to wait for the palace people to change clothes, she was greatly relieved , holding hot tea and don't want to get up again.

She doesn't need to worry about how to put these birthday gifts into the private treasury, the officials from the Ministry of Rituals will register and put them into the treasury one by one for her.

And what she has to do is to show the demeanor of Emperor Xiao Zhou, to be as calm as Qiu Ju in front of officials from all over the country and foreign envoys, and not to be affected by being tied up outside the capital yesterday.

"His Majesty."

The palace man lowered his head and whispered to remind her that it was time for the palace banquet.

Xiao Miyun raised his hand, and passed the pale gold sleeve made of precious Sichuan brocade through his arm, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't the right minister go to court today?"

She is used to someone always sitting next to her, and she is not used to seeing Su Mingxiu when she returned to the palace today to attend the court meeting. Fortunately, it will be the first lunar month soon, and all places are preparing for the New Year. There are not many moths.

"Words came in from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion early in the morning, saying that the prince is not feeling well, and he is asking for leave today."

This is strange.

Xiao Miyun slept in the same bed as Su Mingxiu last night. She knew very well whether this person was sick or not. Anyway, he always had such a sick face, but she never trembled when she killed someone.

She habitually scoffed in her heart, then thought about the situation differently.After all, Su Mingxiu got the Turkic poison on her body yesterday, maybe she was forced to hold on to the state this morning.

In any case, if today's palace banquet did not have the fierce tiger King Zhenbei, those foreigners would probably not be at peace.

Xiao Miyun pinched his palm unconsciously, hesitating whether to go to Zhenbei Palace to see the situation.But this banquet cannot be without her as the main character. After hesitating again and again, I can only go to the palace banquet according to the procedure of the Ministry of Rites-

After drinking for three rounds, there was music playing, and beautiful dancers in long sleeves and long gowns slowly entered from outside the hall.

Xiao Miyun sat in the upper seat, and looked frequently at the vacant seat on the right. Just at the end of the dance, a Turkic envoy got up and raised a wine glass to her:

"I wish the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty a prosperous life every year."

The little emperor's face was sullen, because his own eyebrows and eyes were delicate, like delicate meticulous painting.So when he had a cold face, he had a majesty that strangers should not get close to.

She also picked up the wine glass in front of her. Because she was too young, the palace servants who poured wine for her had already been ordered. The wine pots prepared for her were all equipped with traps, with wine on one side and warm water on the other, and they always poured them for her. Warm water, it seems that she has an amazing capacity for alcohol at a young age.

Just after finishing the cup in front of him, the bearded Turkic man suddenly turned his gaze to the empty seat under her head, "I heard that the Zhenbei King of your Great Zhou Dynasty was brave and good at fighting, and once died four times on the battlefield. It’s a good horse, why don’t you see people now? Could it be that it’s an old injury, and it’s not long to live?”

Xiao Miyun, who was already worried about her condition, immediately changed his expression when he heard this menacing question, "Bold!"

She threw the cup directly in front of the desk of the envoy, and Baiyu's porcelain cup shattered all over the floor.

"The King of Zhenbei is the god of war in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is blessed by his ancestors." After throwing a cup, Xiao Miyun's expression eased again. After maintaining Su Mingxiu, he didn't want to look harsh, so he stretched out his hand to the table The fruit plate on the table, "As for why she didn't attend the palace banquet today, I also feel strange, after all, she has never been absent from the court meeting on weekdays—"

"It seems that some dirty mice jumped on the table, which affected her appetite, so I didn't show up today, so as not to be disgusted by the mice.

If he raised his sword and slashed, it would inevitably dirty the sword. If he didn't kill, the mouse on the table would be very proud, thinking that he could stand up and become the master of this table. "

After saying this, the courtiers who were a little nervous at the banquet couldn't help but smile.

It goes without saying who this mouse refers to.

The Turkic envoy learned Chinese well, so he could understand what she meant.Immediately, his expression changed again and again, and he murmured in his heart that the news sent back earlier said that the situation between the little emperor and the king of Zhenbei was in dire straits, and the power struggle had reached the most intense stage, but now it seems that it is not so bad ?

However, he quickly remembered the things he wanted to verify, such as the physical condition of the little emperor who had been struck by Ji Shile... and the King Zhenbei, how many days would he have left to live.

Thinking of this, he quickly cleaned up his expression, saying that he wanted to apologize for the slip of the tongue just now, and specially prepared a Turkic dance for the emperor.

There was nothing special about the dance, especially because the dancers were all covered with veils, only the wrists and feet were covered with tinkling golden bells. After dancing, Xiao Miyun felt that Lingling was in her ears. sound.

But she suppressed her emotions, and just showed a very calm expression, with words written all over her face: "That's it?"

Turkic envoy: "?"

Why is there no response?

He stared at Xiao Miyun in amazement for a long time, but fortunately his mind turned quickly, and subconsciously said the next procedure, "Xiao Zhou's generals are all strong in force, but our grassland son is not bad, this time for your majesty He Shou, we specially brought Erlang who is the strongest in the tribe, and we are willing to fight with the generals under His Majesty's command to see how far our Turkic Erlang is from Da Zhou."

This is to challenge Da Zhou's authority in the name of a friendly match.

Xiao Miyun understood, and originally wanted to order a random imperial guard to fight.But after seeing the two-meter-tall savage standing up, her eyes widened slightly.

But she knew that no one could relieve her now, so she pinched her thigh under the table, calmed down in the shortest possible time, stared at the towering strong man who gave people a great sense of oppression, and said loudly. He said tightly: "We have a lot of talents in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and each of them is a generation capable of literature and martial arts, so that they can stand on top of this court. It's too partial for single essays or martial arts."

Civil servants and military generals who are partial to the bottom: "?"

The hand holding the cup trembled slightly.

But after all, the cowhide was blown out by the emperor, and their courtiers could only bite the bullet and pretend to be for the sake of the country's face.

Immediately, a civil servant who was over fifty years old got up and began to brag, "That's right, when I was young, I was also a city guard."

Immediately afterwards, there were also the imperial guards, who stood up straight and said, "I can recite hundreds of surnames and thousand-character essays at the age of three, and I am also a first-class in strategy theory in the martial arts examination."

The Turkic envoy was a little confused with the warrior Qiqi who had already got up to fight.

They didn't quite understand Xiao Miyun's meaning until the little emperor showed a gratified smile to the two courtiers, and then said: "Your Excellency wants to know the gap between the Turks and the Great Zhou. It's very simple. It's up to me. Rules—please ask this wrestler to fill in a word first."

She didn't talk about writing poems, because she was afraid that the other party would really hold back a doggerel for her, and then she would enter the next link.

That Lishi grew up wrestling on the grassland since he was a child. It is easiest for him to carry a knife to kill people. As for the lyrics... what is that? -

"puff."

In a secluded place outside the palace banquet, a man in purple and luxurious clothes covered his heart, originally trying to calm down, but when he heard this sentence, he immediately laughed softly.

Unexpectedly, this little emperor is quite capable of fooling around, but if the envoy is not smart enough, he may have to let her fool around.

The warrior who was suffocated by the words subconsciously looked at the leader of the envoy.Sure enough, seeing the other party frowned deeply, the leader tried to get up and write a poem by himself.But unexpectedly, Su Mingxiu insisted that the person who wants to compete in both must be the same person.

This is very difficult.

After holding back for a while, the leader stood up by himself, "Let me teach you talents with both civil and military skills."

He quickly filled out a poem, quite well-behaved, and then it's up to Da Zhou to make moves——

Before Xiao Miyun opened his mouth, Cheng Qing stood up from the table, cupped his hands and said to her, "Please fight for Your Majesty."

The little emperor's eyes lit up immediately, with him on the horse, let alone how the contest was going to be, he would definitely not lose in this essay, at worst, the two sides would be evened.

"My lord?"

The people from the Zhenbei Palace who accompanied her came with a worried voice.These are all people who fought Turks with Su Mingxiu, and they know the nature of Turks best. Xiao Miyun's methods can fool people for a while, but they can't fool them forever.

If the mission cannot be suppressed with absolute strength, the other party will definitely think that there is no one in Dazhou. In this season, if the Turkic army is sent south, Dazhou will not be able to withstand the pressure.

Su Mingxiu glanced over there meaningfully, "It's okay."

She said, "Since Taifu Cheng took the initiative to ask for a fight, she also knows what to do when she thinks about it."

But those people in the hall didn't know the twists and turns. When they saw Cheng Qing volunteering, they looked over with some concern. Of course they don't have to worry about writing lyrics. In fact, Dr. Cheng's performance did not disappoint. After the contest...

There are no people on the prairie who know martial arts. After all, they may already know how to ride a horse before they have learned to walk. This Cheng Qing looks weak and weak. Can a martial arts competition be done?

Some ministers comforted themselves that we should at least win a round.

Some Honglu Temple officials who knew Turks were worried, especially when Cheng Qing got up and walked towards the other party, everyone was sweating.

From the perspective of height, figure and momentum, the Turkic envoys are all better.

After the eunuch announced the start of the martial arts competition, Xiao Miyun subconsciously turned his eyes away, not wanting to look at the situation over there, but in a second, two seconds...

After an unknown amount of time, she heard a voice: "Cheng Tai Fu Sheng!"

The little emperor first sighed pretentiously, but halfway through the sigh, he didn't realize it: "What?"

Who wins?

She took a closer look and saw that the Turkic envoy was also kneeling on the ground in shock.Because I fell down for some reason, when I look up at my opponent, my posture is very funny.

It was Cheng Qing who arched and said, "Accepted."

He glanced at the emperor above him, and his voice was still calm, "It's fortunate that I did not disgrace my life."

Xiao Miyun was overjoyed, before the banquet was over, there was a stream of rewards sent out from the palace, heading towards Cheng's mansion.She was even secretly thinking about how to promote Cheng Qing.

It wasn't until the banquet was almost over that she calmed down from the excitement, thinking that Cheng Qing's victory shouldn't be a coincidence...that means he also has martial arts?

But usually I don't see her showing it, why is this hiding? -

"Is this why His Majesty came to the minister's mansion late at night?"

It's a quarter of a hour.

Su Mingxiu, who went back to the palace first, looked at the little emperor who left the palace in micro-clothes, raised his brows, and pressed the scroll in his hand on the table. Xiao Miyun glanced at the title of the book in a bit of stress, and found that it was a serious book. , and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The main reason is to see how the Prime Minister is doing." Sitting on a chair, she tried her best to put on a dignified appearance, as if she was at a palace banquet.

Su Mingxiu noticed her gaze, and there was a little smile in his eyes, which made the light voice fall to the ground, "Does your majesty hope that the minister is really sick, or is it fake?"

"Uh..." Xiao Miyun found that the Prince Regent was really difficult to communicate with, asking such unanswerable questions every now and then.

"With the King of Zhenbei here, my Great Zhou can protect the safety of the people. What do you think I want?" She threw the question back.

In the end, the mad king just laughed and stopped talking. His eyes fell back to the book in front of him. It was the deadlock that the little emperor had broken again, allowing people from outside to send things in.

"The Right Prime Minister never celebrated his birthday with much fanfare. Although I don't know the reason, but since I promised to give a gift, I sent this gift in advance—"

She raised her chin, motioned the palace servant to put the things on the table and then stepped back.

Su Mingxiu stretched out her pale fingertips, and the blue lines on the back of her hands were particularly obvious, which set off the frail wrists under her wide sleeves. When she opened the wooden box and saw the contents, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. Raise a unilateral brow.

With a slight movement of her fingertips, she picked up the dark gift in the box...

That is, a string of beads.

It is composed of sixteen petals of Vajra Bodhi seeds, each of which is extraordinarily small, the smaller the object, the more precious it is, let alone the lines of the sixteen petals, which are extremely delicate, it is a gift for everyone who wants to seek good fortune People's favorite gift.

And this Vajra Bodhi child has the function of eliminating disasters and avoiding disasters, exorcising evil and washing evil.

But Su Mingxiu stared at it for a long time, and suddenly chuckled, "Why does Your Majesty give me this thing?"

Do you want her to live in peace after being covered in sins, or do you hope that this bodhi bracelet can overcome her biggest karma in this world?

"Ordinary people who seek this profound thing of Buddhism are naturally asking the Buddha to bless their own safety. Could it be that there are other meanings? Or is this gift not suitable for the right person?"

Su Mingxiu casually placed the bracelet of Buddhist beads between his left palms, moved his thumb slightly, and moved the beads slowly and rhythmically, making the unique rhythmic sound when bodhi seeds collided.

"Vajra Bodhi eliminates sins and protects peace. I don't know if His Majesty wants to eliminate my sins, or want me to live a long and safe life?"

The little emperor was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Su Mingxiu again, his black eyes cast leisurely: "Your Majesty's answer must be thought through clearly, you can't have both, if you make a wrong wish, it won't work."
