"A small gift is no respect. It's not a valuable thing, but according to our Xiqi rules, it's the highest recognition of a friend. And it's something that my Lord himself ordered to send to you. Please don't give it up
Before that, Ouyang shengqian, the ninth king of Xiqi, made such a trouble in Qionghua palace. When he framed the case in public and intended to stir up the relationship between emperor and empress, all the people in Qionghua palace were present.
I don't have a good impression of this evil prince.
At this time, I heard that he gave gifts, but others were not so good, a pomegranate, but I couldn't help it on the spot.
I had to go up and refuse myself.
But she was just a little maid in waiting. She didn't have the qualification at all. Thinking about her mother, she must have a sense of propriety in her heart. She could bear to die, and her eyes were staring at the slowly opened box.
I'm afraid I'll see something too much in it.
Who knows
With the opening of the box, we can see the true face of Lushan Mountain, but pomegranate is a little confused.
"Dry Dried flowers? "
Is that a gift? Or after giving it to a country, it can be called a national gift?
Please forgive her for taking the liberty. With the financial resources of that Xiqi prince, I'm afraid that she will take out an object casually. Is it more dignified than this? Why do you want to send such a person Objects that people don't understand?
I'm afraid that I'm confused. Pomegranate takes several steps forward and stares at it carefully. At last, she looks disappointed.
The things in the box are really just a bunch of dried flowers. No matter how delicate the box is or how well packaged it is, it still can't change the property of that thing!
Compared with her, at first glance, even Zhao Wanxi was a little confused. There is more than half of the hidden vigilance.
I almost nodded when I looked relaxed.
It's just a bunch of dried flowers. What's so weird about it?
Who knows in nodding the movement all carried on to the half, she actually suddenly stiff stiff, suddenly realized what. Then the alar of the nose slightly smoked, and the whole face changed.
Face relaxed, no longer exist, at the same time slightly hook lips, smile out a touch of cold unfathomable.
She finally understood why Ouyang shengqian chose this time to be given gifts, and she didn't show up in person. Her feelings were just to dispel her worries.
It's really The calculation is very deep, and the grasp of people's psychology is to a certain extent.
This gift, if she carelessly accepted, I'm afraid the follow-up trouble, there will be more.
What does the other party think she is? Is it really those women who have no insight? The more she thought about it, the more angry she was. At the end of the day, Zhao Wanxi's eyes had been covered with a thin layer of broken ice, and she was staring at the emissary with a meaningful tone.
"This gift is really It's very original. "
The first Zhao Wanxi suddenly changed her face, and everyone saw it. Pomegranate whole confused, what is not understood over the appearance, but that to make, originally a relaxed innocent face, see bad, eyes can not help but a little nervous.
It's just that Zhao Wanxi has some ability to be sent to follow him. Soon, he adjusts his mind and becomes the one who seems to know nothing.
"Don't be angry, Queen, but you are not satisfied with this gift? It's just a little bit of my Lord's heart. It's all out of respect for Nanlin and Niang Niang. It's nothing.
If the empress is not satisfied, we will definitely add something better in the future. "
At first glance, it seems that Zhao Wanxi is being ridiculed for her lack of respect and too much emphasis on finance. Moreover, this person is very resourceful, and he hides this ridicule well out of the story, so that people can't catch any obvious handle.
It's really irritating.
However, in Zhao Wanxi's ears, it has become another meaning.
"According to the emissary, this gift must be accepted by our palace, isn't it?"
What do you mean you have to take it? Is she not inspired by her own words?
The corner of the mouth faintly drew to make him smile as much as possible without flaw.
"At least it's also my king's intention. As the empress of Nanlin, she should know that it's very important to have a good relationship with the alliance."
It's a potential threat.
Look at him one after another to play tricks, this time, even pomegranate, also finally realized that something is wrong. Mu Han looks at her master anxiously, but sees that Zhao Wanxi smiles again, and suddenly loosens her mouth without warning.
"If it's a tribute to Nanlin, then the palace will have to accept it. But by contrast, I think that only when I give it to the emperor of Nanlin can Xiqi show more sincerity. "The pomegranate almost came to her mouth, and then she took a bunch of pomegranates under her eyes.
Just now I was at the bottom. I didn't see it clearly. I still have some doubts. Now I'm close to you. I've seen it carefully and clearly.
However, seeing clearly, the colder light in the fundus of the eye will be.
On the surface, it was half hidden, and even raised his hand to pick it up, looking at the bundle of delicately wrapped dried flowers with great interest.
Standing at the bottom of the head, she looked at her actions one by one. As soon as the Xi Qi envoy was ready to say something, she saw that Zhao Wanxi's mouth was hooked and her fingers were frivolous. She threw her things into pomegranate's arms.
"Delicacy is delicacy, but it's not the palace's appetite. Pomegranate, you look at the disposal of it
“……”
In front of the emissary of Xiqi, when Zhao Wanxi said this, all the people in the hall were petrified, staring at their master, with an incredible face.
Mingming also agreed that the gift is too expensive to bear and should be handed over to Leng junao. But in the twinkling of an eye, he dealt with it so rashly. Is it really OK?
Hand slow feet random to catch, pomegranate continued a face confused. When we looked at the emissary, the whole face was gloomy and could not be seen.
His eyes were full of anger, and he was obviously angry with Zhao Wanxi.
"What do you mean, madam? In this way, are you really not looking at the diplomatic relations between Xiqi and Nanlin? "
It is not good to deal with foreign envoys. If it is not good, it will easily rise to the issue of diplomatic relations between the two countries and aggravate the seriousness of the matter.
Fortunately, Leng junao, one of her followers, had dealt with the matter of Minister Wen and Wu of Xiqi. Zhao Wanxi had experienced a lot and didn't take it too seriously.
Actually can also clear light smile.
"What are you angry about? You also said that the object is not important, what is important is the friendship between your prince and Nanlin. Since I have received the gift, how to deal with it is my freedom, right
After that, he smiles meaningfully and seems to be a little confused.
"It's not this gift Is there any other connotation? "
As soon as the words came out, the angry expression froze and became very ugly.
He stared at Zhao Wanxi suspiciously for half a while. He was sure that he didn't see any flaw in her face. Then he reluctantly recovered his voice.
"Even if Even so, at least the empress should respect the customs of Xiqi. You don't think this dried flower looks ordinary, but in fact... "
"In fact, is there any special meaning?"
Before Xi Qi could finish, Zhao Wanxi interrupted him. Although the tone is not necessarily aggressive, the playful expression always makes people feel guilty.
Said the West Qi to make Na Na speechless, finally can only leave.
It's worth mentioning that before he left, he even looked at the dried flowers in pomegranate's hands for several times, and it was very painful. Let pomegranate once thought that he would open his mouth to go back.
After all, there is no such thing.
In this way, it also makes pomegranate curious. After holding the dried flowers for a long time, it feels that there is nothing special except its gorgeous color and peculiar shape.
How can we attract the attention of the other party?
In the heart is curious, add West Qi to make already left, also have no what scruple, in the mouth unexpectedly also can't help but voice.
"How to look at it, it's just a bunch of dried flowers. Just that man, as for it?"
That kind of reluctant, even a country envoy's face are ignored.
Listening to her, Zhao Wanxi's smile finally converged little by little. Staring at the flower without expression, he sighed.
"Yes, if it's just a bunch of ordinary dried flowers, it's nothing."
It's just a bunch of But it's different.
"Pomegranate, have you ever heard of a rumor about Xiqi?"
There is a rumor in Xiqi that any man in the royal family would raise flowers, name them and express affection in person since Hongmeng was first opened.
The flower is very colorful and beautiful when it is in full bloom. It can not only be used for viewing, but also a rare medicine. However, the growing environment is extremely harsh.
It's not easy to feed and express one's affection. There is only one plant for three thousand. The one that survives must be watered by the prince's blood once a month without interruption. Ten years later, when the prince came of age, it happened that the flower was in full bloom. It was a gift to his beloved woman, meaning to express his love for the rest of his life.
At present, the one that has been sent has been dried. I think it was the most gorgeous time that it was not sent out, so I did this.
"And the pomegranate in your hand, if I guess correctly, should belong to the nine kings of Xiqi, the one of Ouyang shengqian."If she really accepted it, it would be equivalent to accepting Ouyang shengqian's confession.
The man, in the end, did not intend to let her go.
Suoxing, now from the perspective of the public, the one who accepted the gift, but pomegranate is not her. If Ouyang shengqian knew about it, he would ask for it back.
For some of the books, Zhao Wanxi was not easy to remember.
Indirectly saved her once.
And once again, success scares pomegranate.
"What What? "
Is this bunch of dried flowers unique to the men of Xiqi royal family, or is it for the beloved woman? Desire to Courtship?
This information is too shocked, so shocked that pomegranate hands move, the bouquet successfully fell to the ground. I have to deal with it very well. Otherwise, I think it will be out of shape after such a fall.
Rao is so, she no longer has the courage to pick it up. She looks at the master of her own unscrupulous pit slave with a scared face and wants to cry without tears.
"Niang Niang, you want to frighten to death the maidservant!"
How can you give such a terrible thing to her casually? If by that West Qi nine Wangs know, in the heart definitely don't want to, directly click her how to do?
But it's just a little maid in waiting. No matter what happened to the emperor, he won't go to ask the Lord Xiqi for her, will he?
If you think about it, the future is just gloomy. Life is at stake anytime, anywhere! Sad pomegranate eyes with tears, almost directly cry to their own master to see.
But before she cried, she was more curious.
"Listen to Niang Niang say so, this send love flower, should be protected very well, they return to do so, also clear is anticipate accurate, others don't know this matter, let Niang Niang be fooled muddleheaded.
Thanks to her wisdom, she didn't let them succeed. Did she recognize the flowers because she had seen them before? "
No wonder at the beginning, her face suddenly became so ugly.
It is precisely because of pomegranate's words that Zhao Wanxi subconsciously pursed her lips.
Before that, she really didn't have a chance to see her. After all, she was such a precious flower. In fact, it was Ouyang shengqian's unusual style that made Zhao Wanxi alert at the beginning.
Later, it was the smell of flowers.
There may not be much research on the fragrance of flowers, but the fragrance of flowers with medicinal flavor is another matter. If you have doubts in your heart and cheat with words, you can see the clue.
Mo Yue didn't even think of that emissary. She would know something so secret about Xiqi, and then she lost her temper. Although it was just a moment, it was enough for Zhao Wanxi.
It's really It's a headache. Is it so easy to fall in love at first sight? Just because of that encounter outside the palace, did you really have obsession with her?
Or, what does Ouyang shengqian's move imply?
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Wanxi buckled her fingers and knocked on the armrest of the chair.
"Has Joan been here?"
"No. Is she looking for sister Joan? The maid went here and called her
"No, if there's any news, she'll come by herself."
Zhao Wanxi sent Joan away to investigate the matter.
