Sixteen, green gauze hat

Five large fish-mesh ships docked one after another. The first hull was particularly huge. The bow of the ship had a flag of black, yellow and white. This should be the ship that the prince of the Southern Han was riding, but no one came down. After Wei Xuan, Zhenhai Jiedushi Pan You, and Jinghai Control Commissioner Wang Delin, all of them got off the ship and lined up to welcome him. The big ship had just brought a batch of soldiers, attendants, eunuchs, and palace maids, and almost filled the Bailuzhou wharf. He had not seen the shadow of the Southern Han prince Liu Shousu, and he could not call out!

The six Eastern Palace Guards beside Li Jian whispered: "The Prince of Tang asked the Prince of Han to land!"

The sound of drums and music suddenly sounded on the ship. Two teams of female musicians lined up on both sides of the gangway, playing and singing, which was very lively. The Prince of Southern Han Liu Shousu finally appeared in a group of ministers in black robes and yellow hats.

Zhou Xuan was not shocked at the first sight of Prince Liu. Liu Shousu was really fat and not short, about the same size as Zhou Xuan, but his weight was at least two last year. When he walked down the gangway, the gangway was trembling, and the fat on his body was trembling;

Zhou Xuan was not shocked by Prince Liu's whiteness. Liu Shousu was really white. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a piece of pink and jade. It is almost as white as Princess Qingle and Yang Xiaofen. It is rare for a man to become white like this. The name of the snow pig is well-deserved.

But no matter how fat Liu Shousu is or how white his clothes are, he is not as shocked as his clothes. It would be fine if he wears a green silk shirt, but the green gauze hat really scared Zhou Xuan.

Cuckold! Cuckold! Isn’t this kind of taboo in this era? But Zhou Xuan has been in Tang State for almost a year and has never seen anyone wearing cuckolds or green turbans. The prince of the Southern Han Dynasty really made a shocking appearance!

Li Jian walked forward a few steps to greet him. Seeing that Zhou Xuan did not follow, he stopped and turned around: "Cousin Xuan——"

Zhou Xuan then woke up and quickly followed to welcome the prince of the Southern Han Dynasty, Liu Shousu, who was wearing a cuckold.

The Minister of the Honglu Temple of the Tang Dynasty and the Minister of the Honglu Temple of the Han Dynasty introduced each other to the crown prince and the main accompanying officials of their respective countries. As soon as Liu Shousu spoke, he surprised Zhou Xuan. Why is the expression of Prince Liu so strange? He doesn't look at people directly, likes to look at people sideways, and laughs before speaking, which is not as solemn as the crown prince of the country.

"You are Prince Li? Haha, I am also Prince, hahaha."

Liu Shousu held up his fat and white hands and bowed to Li Jian, smiling with a nice temper.

The Minister of the Honglu Temple of Tang State solemnly introduced the Duke of Xinzhou County to the Prince of Southern Han and Zhou Xuan, the Grand Secretary of Jixian Hall, to the special statement that the Duke of Zhou County would send Princess Qingle to the Southern Han as a wedding envoy.

The white and fat Liu Shousu smiled and bowed to Zhou Xuanluo and asked, "How much youth is the Duke of Zhou?"

The amount of youth is usually asked about women, such as the little lady’s youth? Zhou Xuan was so awkward and replied: “Twenty-four, how dare you ask about His Highness Liu’s youth?”

Liu Shousu smiled even more happily: "This is twenty-fourth this year. You and I are the same year. Interesting! Interesting!"

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "It's normal in the same year, what's the fun! He also called himself the palace, well, you are the prince of the Eastern Palace, and it's okay to call himself the palace, but it's just awkward. I haven't heard Li Jian claim to be my palace. The little Empress Zhou claimed to be my palace several times." He also laughed and said: "Haha, it's really interesting. Prince Liu has come from afar, so please get in the car now. The emperor of my country is waiting for His Highness to meet in Daxing Palace."

Knowing that the Prince of Southern Han was a fat man, he specially made a four-four horse carriage with a roof and no wall. As a wedding invitation, Zhou Xuan naturally had to accompany him throughout the journey and went to Daxing Palace with Liu Shousu.

The people of Tang were very enthusiastic and welcomed the prince-consort from afar. They mainly wanted to see what the prince of the Southern Han Dynasty and Princess Qingle's husband looked like. They were filled with exclamations when they saw it.

Liu Shousu was very excited, with a fat face white and red in his mouth, and frequently waved to the welcome people of Tang. He was very stylish. When he entered the forbidden city, the welcome people were gone. Liu Shousu began to look at Zhou Xuan beside him, and looked at Zhou Xuan with a beard under his jaw and asked, "Which year will the Zhou marriage be used to go?"

Zhou Xuan didn't understand and asked, "Where is Your Highness going?"

Liu Shousu rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "This is the Grand Secretary of Jixian Palace. He doesn't even know the 'casting situation'! Well, the people of Tang Dynasty are vulgar, so they should be called castrated." Then he asked again: "I asked you if you castrated?"

Zhou Xuan wanted to beat the pig's head at that time, so he endured it and said, "It's not yet."

Liu Shousu opened his eyes wide and said, "Since he has not been castrated, how can he be such a high-ranking official at a young age?"

The Southern Han Kingdom occupied the Baiyue land in Lingnan. It has been in the five kings so far. It has been established for more than 80 years. It spans Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan. It was at its peak. It was 60 states, which were larger than the Tang Kingdom and earlier than the Tang Kingdom. Liu Shousu's father Liu Jixing reigned for a longer time than Li Yu. It has been thirty-nine years. The reign was Dabao. The 29th year of the Tang Kingdom Kaibao was the 39th year of the Han Kingdom. Since Liu Jixing ascended the throne, all civil servants above the fourth rank of the Southern Han court were castrated. Liu Jixing

Xing Yingming believed that only eunuchs would be loyal to him. As a man, it was just that thing that caused trouble. If there was that thing, he would have selfishness and selfish desires. If he had castration, he would be selfless and tamed like a sheep. This was what Liu Jixing thought of governing the country and asked his son Liu Shousu to inherit it. Therefore, Liu Shousu was named Duke of the County at the age of 24 and became a Grand Secretary. Naturally, he thought that he had only achieved such a high position after castration.

Zhou Xuan said: "Our Tang Dynasty did not use castration to win scholars. It was based on its talent, and it was very talented. So, as a result, what questions does His Royal Highness Liu have to do with such a high-ranking official?"

Liu Shousu shook his fat head and said, "No, no, you can't send a marriage envoy without castration. If you have any misfortune with Princess Qingle on the road, wouldn't this palace be too late to repair the sheep!"

Zhou Xuan looked at the green gauze hat that Liu Shousu was wearing, and couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, and said to himself, "Prince Xuezhu is very keen, but why did you put on a cuckold yourself early? Isn't this intention to encourage me?" He said, "What did Prince Liu say? I am the royal relative, the little Queen Zhou is my aunt, and Princess Qingle is my cousin. You have to respectfully call me a cousin. Who else can I do if I send a marriage to you?"

"Oh." Liu Shousu felt relieved. It turned out to be the nephew of the little Zhou queen. No wonder he could become a high-ranking official without castration. His cousin sent his cousin to get married. This is the rule in the Southern Han Dynasty. Liu Shousu didn't say anything. He smiled and bowed, "It turned out to be Cousin Zhou. I was rude. I turned out to have several cousins, all of whom were killed by my father."

Zhou Xuan was speechless. He really didn't understand how absurd country like the Southern Han could continue to this day. A tyrant like Liu Jixing who should have destroyed the country and whipped the corpse could live to be over 60 years old and never die. This world is really hard to understand! He said: "Your Highness, don't call me a cousin, just call Zhou Marriage."

Liu Shousu laughed: "Cousin Zhou is as timid as a mouse. Will he die if he is my cousin? It is not necessarily that you are not my real cousin, so what are you taboos!"

Zhou Xuan smiled slightly and turned to look at the followers of the Prince of Southern Han. Sure enough, they all had white faces and no beards, smiled and their voices were sharp and sharp. Only those soldiers were real men. The Prince of Southern Han came to Tang State with a huge team of eunuchs.

Outside the Daxing Palace, the Yulin Guards with Mingguang armor, painted beast shirts and leopard-santhemum Yulin Guards lined up to welcome the prince of the Southern Han Dynasty. The palace was majestic and the drums were solemn. Liu Shousu also put away his smile and showed the majesty of a prince of a country. He swayed into Danfeng Gate. There were hundreds of officials, followed by eunuchs, and the rest of the followers and the soldiers stayed outside the Danfeng Gate.

Emperor Li Yu gave a banquet for the prince of the Southern Han Dynasty in Baoyuan Hall. The lights and wine were bright and the wine did not disperse until late at night. Liu Shousu lived in the palace in the North City, and Zhou Xuan and the Minister of the Honglu Temple accompanied him to see him. When Zhou Xuan returned to Xiangluanfang, it was already midnight. It was not easy to send a marriage to the point of being difficult, and it was so hard.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, Li Yu's sixty birthday, every household in Jinling City was decorated with lanterns, which was more festive than the Lantern Festival. Li Yu had seen the birthday gifts sent by the governors of the Shifang and the 36 prefectures in Zichen Hall early in the morning. It was dazzling and dazzling. Which birthday gifts were placed in a conspicuous position for the emperor to see at a glance. This would bribe those eunuchs. Wang Jian wrote in "Preface Ci" - "The birthday of the saint is in the Ming Dynasty, and he taught people to be the inner prisoners. He wrote a list of golden flowers and reds, and the phoenix shirts were advanced in front of him."

Because Zhou Xuan was a celebrity in the court, the gifts he gave were very high, and the two dazzling coral trees were also very eye-catching. Li Yu walked up and took a look. A red list hung on the coral trees said: "Zhou Xuan, a nephew of the foreign relative, wishes His Majesty the Emperor a permanent blessing and a lifetime of life!"

Li Yu twisted his beard and smiled, pointing at the coral tree and laughing at the little Zhou Hou who was dressed in a dazzling manner.

Princess Qingle also came, and celebrated her father's birthday before the arrival of the Prince of Southern Han, and then hurriedly took refuge in the back hall.

The Southern Han Kingdom is bordered by the South China Sea and has many rare treasures. This time, it presented a pair of night pearl towers, a pair of golden and jade horses, and countless other treasures.

Although Princess Qingle made up her mind not to marry the Snow Pig Prince, the woman was always curious and wanted to see what her husband was like in this title. So she peeped in the back hall and saw the white, fat and smiling prince of the Southern Han, quickly turned her head, "pah" twice, walked around in trouble, and ordered the eunuch to quietly tell the Duke of Xinzhou County to come in, and she had something to say to the Duke of Xinzhou County.

Zhou Xuan followed the eunuch to the Yangxin Pavilion in the back hall. Seeing Princess Qingle wearing a red silk palace skirt, she was so gorgeous. She leaned against the railing and looked at her sadly, holding a lotus in her hand and kneading the petals with the other hand. When she saw Zhou Xuan coming, she quickly stood up and said, "Cousin Xuan, didn't you let me see the prince of the Southern Han? I just saw it, and I hated it even more. What do you think you should do?"

Zhou Xuan said: "Captain Liu is a little fat and has good skin." As he said that, he looked at the breasts exposed by Princess Qingle and compared them.

Princess Qingle raised her eyebrows and said, "Cousin Xuan, don't tell me these things, I hate listening."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it. Now I don't know when Prince Liu is going to return to Southern Han. We should go early, right?"

Princess Qingle's beautiful eyes were filled with sorrow, and said quietly: "Cousin Xuan, if you are sincerely willing to help me, then you will come up with a way to regret the marriage. After all, this is the Tang Kingdom. When you arrive in Nanhan, it is very difficult to bring me back. It is better to turn against me earlier than to turn against me later. Anyway, you will turn against me."

Zhou Xuan said: "I really want to help you, otherwise why would I do this marriage sender? Can I refuse to let me go? You are wrong. I am not easy to act in Tang Dynasty, but when I go to Nanhan, I can do whatever I want-"

Just then, a mocking laugh came from behind, and someone said sarcastically: "What does Zhou Jungong want to do whatever he wants?"

Zhou Xuan looked back and saw that King Jing Li Kun walked in slowly, probably because he heard the last sentence he had just said.

Zhou Xuan frowned, then stretched out and said politely: "Is Your Highness King Jing healthy? It's rare to see him."

A hint of hatred flashed in Li Kun's eyes. He ignored Zhou Xuan and said to Princess Qingle: "Miss Huzhu, I haven't seen her for many days. Is this good?"

Princess Qingle gave a bow and called out, "Hello Brother Wang." Then she sighed: "What's the point? I'll go to Nanhan soon. I'm afraid I won't see Brother Wang again."

Li Kun glanced at Zhou Xuan and said with a smile: "How could it be that Zhou Jungong was the wedding envoy, and everything would be good for Sister Huzhu." Before Princess Qingle could say anything else, she said: "The Shanglinyuan Equestrian Field has been built. My uncle and Empress will hold an equestrian performance there today, and it will be about to start. You, my brother and sister are not together, how about watching equestrian together today?"

Princess Qingle glanced at Zhou Xuan and said, "Cousin Xuan, let's go together."

Zhou Xuan said: "Princess and Your Highness Jing will go first, and I will accompany the Prince of Nanhan later."

At the end of the Chen period, beside the Taiye Pool to the southwest of Shanglinyuan, there was an equestrian venue of 150 meters long and 100 meters wide. A team of carefully selected Jinwu Guards rode a horse with exquisite saddles as the emperor, queen, civil and military officials and the prince of the Southern Han performed equestrianism, crossing the low wall and jumping over the shallow stream, which won cheers.

The Prince of Southern Han Liu Shousu walked out of the tent on the sidelines, looked around, and asked Zhou Xuan beside him: "Zhou Wedding Envoy, where is Princess Qingle? I have to let this palace meet again. It is rumored that he was the number one beauty in the Tang Dynasty. I wonder what kind of beauty is it?"

Zhou Xuan said: "Does Your Highness the Crown Prince know the customs of our Tang Kingdom? Men and women cannot meet before their wedding after getting engaged, otherwise it will be detrimental to both parties."
