Chapter 53 Reception
After the flower viewing party, Bai Yiyan never came out again. She seemed to have never appeared in the capital. People are forgetful, and everyone's impression of her gradually faded, except for Yue Li.
Yue Li specially sent An Si to watch Bai Yiyan and let her act like a monster. However, the news he got was that Bai Yiyan became seriously ill after returning home and could not even get out of bed. Yue Li was a little disappointed. She still wanted to
Let's see what strange move Bai Yiyan is going to pull out. It's really unlucky.
But she doesn't have time to care about Bai Yiyan now. The ambassador of Jialan Kingdom is coming to the capital soon, and this time Prince Jialan will accompany him. Jialan Kingdom comes every year, but the officials responsible for the reception are the officials of Honglu Temple.
Everyone, in order to show sincerity this year, the emperor issued an order half a month in advance to make her responsible for receiving the prince who has not yet met in this year's mission.
No matter how reluctant Yue Li was, she still had to agree. This was her obligation as a princess, but she had never done anything related to it, not even in her previous life.
Panxiang looked at the troubled Yue Li from the side and came up with an idea: "Your Highness, if you are responsible for receiving the ambassador of Jialan Kingdom this time, if you really don't know what to do, you can ask the adults at Honglu Temple for advice.
"
"I need to ask for advice, but I also want to know the customs and etiquette of Jialan Country. Go to the library and get me all the books about Jialan."
Panxiang was very happy when she saw that her master, who had always been unruly, started to become serious, and said, "Okay."
Going to Honglu Temple during the day and reading at night, Yue Li had a full schedule for himself and had no time to see Ye Qin. However, the ideal was very skinny and the reality was full. Going to Honglu Temple was not as smooth as imagined.
This time, when the emperor transferred the reception responsibility from the Lord Qingwang of Honglu Temple to Yue Li, the ministers began to discuss it.
"Since ancient times, has any woman interfered in court affairs?"
"Yes, Your Majesty is confused."
"His Royal Highness Riyue only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, how can he handle these things well?"
The overwhelming doubts put the emperor into a very embarrassing situation. His original intention was to let Yue Li take up a false reception position. The main thing was that the minister of Honglu Temple should be responsible for the mission's visit, but he did not expect that the ministers' opinions had already arisen.
The reverse effect.
The most uncomfortable thing is Mr. Wang. He was in charge of this matter before. Although he was very busy, there was no mistake at all. This time, His Majesty asked the princess to take charge. He couldn't imagine how many accidents would happen during this reception.
When Yue Li stood at the entrance of Honglu Temple, she felt a little embarrassed when she saw Mr. Wang facing her luggage with a sad face. She was not even half-assed, so it was hard for Mr. Wang.
As soon as he stepped through the door, Yue Li heard the officials whispering. It was also a shocking thing for them to have a woman take part in politics. She didn't know what her father wanted to do by asking her to take charge of this matter.
The work of Honglu Temple was complex and arduous. Master Wang patiently explained it to Yue Li bit by bit, and even brought out previous cases for her reference.
"I'm so tired," Yue Li returned to Jing'an Palace and collapsed on the couch, not even bothering to open a book.
"Your Highness, let's have something to eat first." Wenxue asked the maids to bring food for Yue Li to eat.
Yue Li was tired and didn't want to say anything. She gritted her teeth and stood up, walking to the dining table with exhaustion on her face.
"Your Highness, would you like Panxiang to press the button for you?" Panxiang was also very distressed. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mr. Wang was deliberately making things difficult for Yue Li. Even if Yue Li was a princess, she would have to grit her teeth and endure this situation.
.
Yue Li shook his head: "Wait until I finish eating."
Jing'an Palace was busy with its feet on the ground, but Concubine Xi's mind began to be active again.
"Xue'er, go and bring Jin Shi from Jing'an Palace." Concubine Xi recently raised a Persian cat. There was no trace of hair on her body. She liked it very much. At this time, she stroked her arms with her hands over and over again.
cat.
Xue'er is one of Concubine Xi's personal maids, one of the people brought out from the cold palace by Concubine Xi, and she is deeply trusted by Concubine Xi. She claims to be Concubine Xi's right-hand man, so she is always very arrogant.
Yue Li has been reading a lot recently, so she asked Jin Shi to go to the library to sort out all the books she wanted to read one after another, but provided convenience for Concubine Xi, so that she would miss the people in Jing'an Palace.
"Eunuch Jin Shi, Concubine Xi has invited you." Xueer found out from somewhere that Jin Shi was in the library and searched all the way over.
Jin Shi's eyelashes were lowered, covering the emotions in his eyes. He turned around and said in a respectful tone, "Isn't this Miss Xue'er?"
Xue'er had long heard that Yue Li had a very beautiful eunuch who was given to Yue Li by His Majesty. All the maids in the palace, from eighty to eighteen years old, wanted to have sex with him. When they saw him today, he looked like a painting.
people.
Jinshi's beauty immediately made her tone much better towards Jinshi, "Concubine Xi, please go and talk to me."
"Yes, Miss Xue'er, please wait a moment." Jin Shi put down the book in his hand and followed Xue'er.
The Jialan Kingdom's envoy arrived in the capital as scheduled. When the large group of people entered the city, the people who were watching made a sound of amazement.
"These people are so good-looking."
"Yes, Jialan's mission is getting better and better every year."
"I heard there will be a prince this year."
Yue Li had already been waiting at the inn with the officials from Honglu Temple, and saw a large group of people from a distance.
"Your Highness, they are here." Mr. Wang leaned into Yue Li's ear and reminded him. He has also seen Yue Li's hard work at Honglu Temple these days, so his attitude towards her has improved a lot.
Yue Li nodded, indicating that she understood. She was very energetic, thinking that she would not mess up this time.
The men and horses stopped when they arrived at the door of the inn. The first person to dismount was a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked very burly. The big man seemed to be familiar with Mr. Wang. The two nodded to each other.
The man who came down next looked thinner than the previous Khan. His face was like a Greek sculpture, with a high nose and deep eyes unique to Caucasians. His clothes were also much more exquisite and gorgeous than the big man. The most attractive
What attracts people's attention is the chain inlaid with various colored gemstones adorning his forehead.
When the big man saw the young man coming down, he bowed respectfully to Yue Li and said, "Jialan Priest Suikar is here to meet you, sir."
Yue Li nodded: "Excuse me, thank you for your hard work, priest."
Lord Wang knew from Suikar's reaction that he didn't know Yue Li's identity, so he quickly introduced him from the side: "Master Suikar, this is our eldest princess, Her Royal Highness Riyue."
Suikal immediately looked flattered and saluted Yue Li: "Princess Liyue is well." Then he seemed to have remembered something and introduced to a group of officials: "My lords, this is our Jialan.
Prince Nashto."
Nashto also bowed.
