Hualuo Chang'an

Two days later, the Xiling envoys entered Chang'an City.

That night, there was a grand banquet in the palace to clean up the Xiling envoys.

Gong Yining had told Luo Changxi early on that she wanted to enter the palace to watch the excitement. Luo Changxi knew that she was going to "see" the Xiling King, but she didn't refuse.Luo Changxi thought about it, and finally disguised her as a maid of honor, and brought her into the palace with her.Jing Qing was also going to enter the palace. When she saw Luo Changxi took Gong Yining there, she also moved her mind and wanted to take Ji Mianyang with her.Unexpectedly, Ji Mianyang directly rejected her.

"I still won't go..." Seeing that Jing Qing was a little unhappy, Ji Mianyang quickly added, "I'll stay in the Princess Mansion tonight, waiting for you to come back."

As soon as Jing Qing frowned, he heard the second half of the sentence, and immediately became happy again.

In fact, Jing Qing had mentioned to Luo Changxi a long time ago that he wanted Ji Mianyang to move into the Princess Mansion - naturally, he would live with her in the opposite wing.

Luo Changxi has no objection.

But Ji Mianyang refused.

"What...is this proper?"

Jing Qing said angrily, "What's wrong with that? We're consensual, so we're not allowed to live together?"

Ji Mianyang's face turned red all of a sudden.

"I……"

"You? What are you?"

"I'm still a... 'man' at this point."

Ji Mianyang reminded helplessly.

Luo Changxi and Gong Yining are both women, even if they live in the same place, they get along more intimately, and almost no one says much.But she, Ji Mianyang, is still a "man", a married "man", and Jing Qing is an unmarried woman. If these two live together...

Simply unimaginable.

Jing Qing also knew that what Ji Mianyang said was right, so she could only accept it.

So, after the two of them really expressed their feelings for each other, they still rarely had the chance to meet alone, let alone other things, such as... the matter of love.Since Jing Qing knew that Ji Mianyang was a woman, she felt more and more that Ji Mianyang's beauty and softness made her heart flutter, and sometimes she seemed a little unable to control herself, and wanted to get close to him inexplicably, but she had no chance.

Although Ji Mianyang is shy, she does not reject her. What really stops her is "opportunity".

However, at this time, Ji Mianyang offered to stay overnight, and Jing Qing was naturally happy.The two talked for a while, and Jing Qing reluctantly bid farewell to Ji Mianyang when he heard Gong Yining urging him loudly.

Ji Mianyang looked at her expression carefully, and felt more and more amused in his heart.

Jing Qing has a simple temperament, a pure mind, and hardly conceals her emotions, and it is precisely because of this that she finds it even more valuable.

Ji Mianyang smiled, followed by another step, and leaned forward to kiss Jing Qing on the cheek.

"Come back sooner."

Gongyi Ning, who was waiting impatiently, was running back to call for someone, and saw it as soon as he poked his head, and then covered his mouth and laughed non-stop.Ji Mianyang lowered his head, turned around and ran into the house.

Jing Qing turned her head and gave Gong Yining a hard look.

"Why are you staring at me?" Gongyi Ning said with a smile, "I saw it too!"

Jing Qing snorted coldly and ignored Yi Ning.In fact, Jing Qing was complaining about Gong Yining's appearance, and it was really annoying that she didn't have time to say anything to Ji Mianyang.But after thinking about it, anyway, Ji Mianyang was waiting for her in the mansion, and they still have a whole night...you can take your time.

It was freezing cold, and a few people did not ride horses, but entered the palace in a carriage.

After getting into the carriage, seeing Jing Qing's sullen look, Gong Yining couldn't help laughing at her.Jing Qing happened to be dissatisfied in her heart, so she also opened her mouth to argue with her.

Luo Changxi simply leaned on the other side, watched and listened, but never joined in.

They didn't stop until they entered the palace gate, it was because Jing Qing wanted to get off the carriage first to inquire about news.The Xiangnan army under Luo Changxi's command was responsible for escorting the Xiling envoys to Beijing this time.After all, the Xiangnan army has been in southern Xinjiang for a long time, and they are familiar with Xiling.It's just that Luo Changxi doesn't care much about Xiangnan Army's affairs now, he only listens to the report every month, and most of the time he leaves it to his generals to make decisions.Firstly, nothing major happened, and secondly, it was because she wanted to obey Luo Mingde and gradually let go of the Xiangnan Army's military power, so that it would be easy to return it in the future.

But King Xiling's visit to Beijing this time involved Luo Changyue. Luo Mingde's meaning was unclear, and Luo Changxi himself was inconvenient to intervene, so Jing Qing paid attention to it, and specially called his confidants to guard at the gate of the palace. Ask once.

Jing Qing went away for a long time before coming back.

When she came back, Jing Qing had a strange look on her face.

"Your Highness, that Xiling King..."

"How is it?" Gong Yining asked first, "Is it a fat head with big ears and shiny face? Or is it a bad old man who can tell that he is overindulgent? Or..."

"Bah!" Jing Qing gave her a white look, "Neither of them!"

"What's that?" Gongyi Ning said unconvinced, "Isn't it a pretty boy?"

"It's a..." Jing Qing came back to his senses after speaking halfway, and then said to Gongyi, "I was so confused by you! What a mess... That Xiling King didn't come at all!"

As soon as this remark came out, even Luo Changxi was taken aback.

"Not here? What do you mean?"

"It was not the King of Xiling who brought the Xiling envoys to Beijing this time, but Princess Anajing, the younger sister of the King of Xiling." Jing Qing continued, "It is said that this princess has a very high status in Xiling. Second to the King of Xiling, he still has real power, if the King of Xiling is not around, seeing the princess' order is like seeing the king."

Gong Yining was also a little shocked when she heard it, and said in surprise: "It's just a princess... so powerful? No, Luo Changxi is also a princess, and she is also the princess of Zhenguo granted by the emperor, but she is not so powerful. Did you get it wrong? ?”

"It can't be wrong." Jing Qing saw that Gong Yining didn't know much about the situation in the southern borderlands, so he turned his head and said to Luo Changxi, "Your Highness should know that the barbarians in southern Xinjiang respect martial arts and respect the relationship between men and women." On the contrary, the difference is much lower than that in the Central Plains. According to legend, this Princess Anajing is a brave and resourceful person, quite prestigious among the clansmen, and her influence in Xiling even surpasses that of her clan brother, the King of Xiling .”

Luo Changxi nodded, and said again: "Then why is this princess coming? Why didn't the King of Xiling himself come?"

"It's the fault here. And this matter...it was the Xiling envoys who came to Beijing to tell the emperor." Jing Qing was also very puzzled, "It is said that the king of Xiling was going to come in person, but he was on the way. However, due to a sudden illness, he had to return it as a last resort. He also said that the visit to court was of great importance, and the king of Xiling did not dare to entrust it to others, so he asked the most honorable princess of the Xiling Kingdom to come to see him on behalf of his brother, and issued an imperial edict With her, let her have full power to execute all affairs during the Dasun Dynasty, and no one in Xiling can intervene."

Gong Yining said in amazement: "Full power?!"

"That's right." Jing Qing nodded and said, "Including the matter of asking to marry Princess Da Xun."

In fact, Luo Changxi had heard of this Xiling Princess Ana Jing before.At that time, among the tribes in southern Xinjiang, the deeds of this Anajing had been circulating, and it was almost said that she was a goddess in the sky, and the more rumors became more evil.Since then, the Xiling tribe has surrendered without a fight, but this legendary powerful woman has never appeared.So Luo Changxi thought that this was probably a lie and fantasy fabricated by those people from southern Xinjiang.

However, this person actually exists.

Not only does it exist, it seems that this Anajing really has some tricks.Otherwise, if she is a woman with no rights and no responsibilities, if she only relies on her status as a princess, how could she get the "full power execution" edict from the King of Xiling.

"What does the emperor say?"

"The emperor didn't show any displeasure. First, he asked the empress and concubine Yao to entertain the princess. However, Princess Anajing said that she came here on behalf of the king of Xiling, and that she was here to discuss political affairs rather than harem affairs. Only then did the emperor pay attention to it." , not only personally received her, but also greatly appreciated her. Tonight's feast is set up for this Princess Anajing."

—It's really weird.

The sudden sudden illness of the King of Xiling is already suspicious, but this Princess Anajing came even more out of nowhere.However, the most unusual thing is that the King of Xiling did not write a letter to report such a major event, but allowed the princess to go to Beijing all the way, and explain it when she arrived at the court.

Originally, Luo Changxi was concerned with the so-called "Prince of Xiling's courtship", so everything concerned Luo Changyue.But at this moment, an inexplicable Princess Anajing suddenly appeared. Thinking about it carefully, Luo Changxi would pay more attention to the safety of the southern frontier.

Seeing that Luo Changxi didn't speak anymore, Gongyi knew that she was thinking about something, so she discussed with Jing Qing a few more words.

The three of them moved forward all the way, heading straight for the place where the banquet was held.

Luo Mingde probably really attached great importance to that Princess Anajing of Xiling, and this banquet was held in the Minghui Hall, the largest banquet hall in the entire imperial palace.From a distance, one can see that the main hall is brightly lit, and the palace people are coming and going, busy.

"Hey, is that the princess you mentioned?"

Luo Changxi was still thinking with his head down, but suddenly he heard Gong Yining ask Jing Qing from behind him.

"Where?"

"It's over there, the group of people walking this way along the corridor...the one at the front."

"Probably... yeah."

"perhaps?"

"I've never seen that princess again."

Immediately afterwards, Gong Yining and Jing Qing muttered in the background again, talking to each other, and began to discuss the complexion of the woman who was walking on the long corridor.

"She looks... really beautiful." Gong Yining sighed in a low voice, "Speaking of which, I have seen many beauties, but it is rare to see a woman as bright as her."

"Ming Yao?"

"Yeah, it's like..."

"Ok?"

"Not even the brilliance of the sun and the moon can take away her brilliance."

Hearing this, Luo Changxi finally couldn't help but look up.

On the long corridor not far away, someone is indeed coming towards Minghui Hall.Luo Changxi saw the woman Gong Yining and Jing Qing were discussing at a glance——

Mingyao...

It is indeed suitable to describe such a woman.

She was indeed attractive, but it was definitely not because of her looks that people would feel that way.

"Actually, I think she looks pretty nasty."

Gong Yining suddenly whispered something again.

"Hate?"

"Look at her." Gong Yining said again, "her face is full of arrogance, as if no one or anything in this world can get into her eyes."

exactly.

Luo Changxi felt that what Gong Yining said was right.

However, just as Gong Yining finished speaking, the "proud" woman suddenly stopped and looked across the corridor.

what is she looking at?

The three people here were a little curious and followed her gaze.

where-

Entering from the palace gate, the one coming towards this place is Luo Changyue, who always has a peaceful and gentle smile and always maintains the elegance of a princess of the Da Xun Dynasty.She was still sitting on a wooden roller chair, surrounded by several court ladies.

Anajing on the promenade watched for a while, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Luo Changxi, do you feel that when Princess Anajing looked at your sister, she smiled as if..."

"cunning."

The author has something to say: the update almost ended today... So, thinking about it this way, isn't Chige not too bad? (I'm shameless →_→)

In the next chapter, there will be princesses, princesses and princesses (lots of princesses...), and of course, there will definitely be noble concubines...
