lifetime cage

Chapter 31:

The sun was about to set, and the streets were still bustling with people, and the streets in the west of the city were still bustling. In the middle of the road, there was a large sedan chair with eight carriages hurrying along.

After Li Zhongzhong opened the kit, he hurried to the princess mansion.No matter how the sedan chair was walked, it always felt very bumpy along the way. That's why Li Zhongzhong didn't like sitting in a sedan chair and would rather ride a horse, but today he had to take a sedan chair. This time, he might not only be going to the Princess' Mansion.

The road was bumpy, but Li Zhongzhong, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was not idle. Thinking of what happened today, his head still felt a little buzzing, he moved his hands and feet, his limbs were a little weak, maybe he had a cold.Recalling Wan'er's visit to the princess mansion today, I vaguely feel that things are not as simple as I thought, Wan'er is pure and kind, and every time I think of this shy girl, I can't believe that this person who is also a relative and friend can do this. Looking at herself like that, thinking of Princess Nine's cold and emotionless eyes, she felt another pain in her heart, she shook her head, trying to drive away this annoying emotion, and forced herself to sort out new thoughts.

"Young Master! The Princess Mansion is here." The car curtain was raised, and the faint sunlight came in. The sun was still bright, but at this moment, it made Li Zhongzhong feel a little late.

Li Zhongzhong got out of the sedan chair and strode into the mansion. When the guards at the door saw Li Zhongzhong returning to the mansion, they bowed their heads and bowed their hands in salute: "Consort!" "Is the Ninth Princess here?"

"Back to the son-in-law, there seems to be something urgent in the palace. The princess has just entered the palace." The servant replied respectfully, while carefully looking at it. There was no entertainment in ancient times. The only thing that can be entertained is gossip. Today's The matter has already been spread all over the world. There are also those who said that the son-in-law was out for a night of sex, and there were also those who said that the son-in-law was forced to marry a wife with deep affection. Now how many people in the house don't know.

"How long has it been?" The person who asked the question was a little anxious, and his tone was a little blunt.

"Less than a quarter of an hour away, Sister Mo'er followed." The servant was submissive now, for fear that Li Zhongzhong would be dragged out for dozens of boards if he was in a bad mood.

Li Zhongzhong didn't answer, turned around and left, and clearly heard the person who answered behind him let out a big breath.Li Zhongzhong walked quickly. The situation today was in a hurry. Wan'er suddenly spread rumors and caused trouble. The old lady suddenly fell ill. Now there is news from the palace. The whole mind is a messy mess, but it is really messy after cutting and straightening.

Li Zhongzhong strode into the sedan chair, and the servant beside him hurriedly raised the curtain of the sedan chair: "Enter the palace!"

. . . . . .

Li Zhongzhong was in a hurry to die outside, but inside the imperial palace, the Jinluan Hall was full of laughter and laughter, and the melodious sound of silk and bamboo.The beauties dressed up to attend the ceremony, all of them were beautifully dressed, and they were dancing in the center of the hall. The emperor was sitting on the orange golden dragon chair in the center of the hall, looking majestic, while the empress and the nine princesses were They were sitting on the left and right seats respectively, staring at the dancers vaguely, not knowing what to think, when the curtain ended and the dance was over, there was only a round of applause, and it was very lively and thunderous.

Immediately, a woman dressed in different clothes stood up and stood in the center of the hall. The woman spoke in a heroic voice: "Uzel, the envoy of the Northern Kingdom, on behalf of the Great Khan of our country, greets His Majesty the Emperor of the Nanli Kingdom. Our country's Prince Ma Ya has taken care of you for many days, and everyone in the Northern Kingdom is deeply grateful. I am here to ask for my resignation today, and I will leave for the country tomorrow." After saying that, he waved his hand, and the followers behind him carried up the worshipers outside the main hall.

Suddenly, the crowd became agitated, and there was a lot of discussion underneath.The sudden appearance of the envoy from the Northern Kingdom made the atmosphere of the reception suddenly tense.

Everyone knows that the Northern Kingdom in the north is full of civil strife all the year round, and at the end of the year it was unified by the current Khan of the Northern Kingdom, that is, Ma Ya's father, Tuli. I heard that Tuli is critically ill recently. Afterwards, the throne might be contested by his uncle Jieli. It would be fine if Jieli was able to govern the country well, but he is indeed an out-and-out ambitious man. Returning to the Northern Kingdom is to take the emperor to order the princes. When the time comes, the soil of the Southern Li Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom will be connected, or they will fight against each other.

The emperor's face remained motionless, and he didn't know what to think.

At this moment, Li Wenwu came out and said: "It's very good. In a few days, the third prince of our country and the princess of Xiliang will be married. The envoy should not rush to leave." The pun, that is, did not say whether to agree or not to allow Prince Ma Ya to return to the country, but also mentioned that Nanli and Xiliang will be married forever. Even Xiliang married his daughter to Nanli. You North Kingdom should not act rashly good.You must know that Xiliang is different from Nanli and Beiguo. Xiliang respects women. In Xiliang, it can be said that women marry men and men marry. It is very different from the customs of other countries. It can be said that it has a profound meaning.

The envoy immediately laughed and said, "Nanliguo and Xiliang are really happy and congratulated. On behalf of our country, I wish the two countries a prosperous country and a peaceful people. They will be awe-inspiring at home and be close forever!"

After finishing speaking, the bustling scene began again in the main hall, and the scene was peaceful. At this moment, the banquet has come to an end.

It was not until evening that Li Zhongzhong entered the palace and entered the imperial city, and was not allowed to enter the hall until all the tedious inspections were completed.As soon as I entered the hall, I saw a bustling scene of singing and dancing in the hall.As soon as Li Zhongzhong entered the hall, he felt several gazing eyes on his body, and before he had time to explain, he sat in the row of the prince with the leading eunuch. Most of these people were people with no real power sitting in the back row in name only.Li Zhongzhong walked up to Wang Lanzhi and sat down beside Yayan, but he didn't see Chen Kun.

"Why are you here?!" Wang Lanzhi whispered under his throat.

"What's the matter, where is Chen Kun?" Li Zhongzhong asked with raised eyebrows.

"It's in the ranks of generals." Yayan came over and patted Li Zhongzhong's shoulder and continued, "Why did you come here suddenly? Do you know what day it is?"

"What date?" Li Zhongzhong raised his wine glass and asked indifferently.

"Today is the day when the two countries of the North Kingdom and Xiliang face each other, and those below the fifth-rank official position are not allowed to enter the hall." Yayan looked at Li Zhongzhong with hatred for iron. "My son-in-law is at least a fifth grade, why didn't anyone inform me?" Li Zhongzhong put down his wine glass and looked around with his head down. Today is a refreshing autumn day, but there is always an indescribable sense of irritability, which makes people feel very uneasy.

Li Zhongzhong was just about to discuss the note with Wang Lanzhi when he suddenly heard someone calling behind him.

"My son-in-law, the empress invites you to have a meal together." Looking up, it was Ruoer who came to deliver a message.

Li Zhongzhong got up and followed Ruoer, and he saw his aunt after turning around.

Before arriving at the place, the empress beckoned Li Zhongzhong to go, still beautiful.

"Zhong'er, why are you here?" The beautiful man was still gentle.

Li Zhongzhong walked up to Queen Li Zixi and bowed: "Good luck, Queen."

"Why did Zhong'er come here suddenly today? Don't you hate this kind of banquet the most? Could it be that you miss your aunt?" Li Zixi drank some wine during the dinner, elegant yet dignified, showing the charm of a mature woman.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Li Zhong's heart, and just as he was about to take out the kit, he heard a bustling sound from the crowd. Looking carefully, it turned out that it was the envoys from Xiliang who came out.

"The envoy of the Xiliang Dynasty, Wu Gerui, pays tribute to the Nanli Dynasty." After finishing speaking, he put his right hand on his left chest and bowed, "The Nanli Dynasty is a huge country. It is a great honor for me in Xiliang to be married to Nanli. Today, I am entrusted by my emperor's order to make a special kiss, I, the third prince of Xiliang, wants to marry the ninth princess of Nanli Kingdom as his second husband, and hope that the two countries of Nanli and Xiliang will enjoy peace forever!"

The silence in the Jinluan Palace was a bit strange, all the ministers froze in place, the Ninth Princess still had a cold face, her eyes were a little blurred, thoughtful, as if she didn't hear what the envoy said.

Li Zhongzhong stood beside the empress, before he had time to say anything, when he heard the envoy's words, he felt a "buzz" in his head and was completely stunned!
