Chapter 340: The sun is shining brightly; playing with dragons and phoenixes(2/3)
She was also curious as to why Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting in a royal chariot in front of the palace gate in the city, turned a blind eye to the Si Yu she was riding in?
At this time, after a long and bumpy night, Princess Cao of the Xia Kingdom was tired, hungry and thirsty. She heard that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty had returned to the palace, and when he passed by the vehicle she was sitting on, she couldn't bear it anymore.
.
Ms. Cao opened the sedan curtain, stepped out of the sedan, and stopped Zhao Ji and his party on their way back to the palace.
"Haha..." He smiled slightly and said to himself: "I've been drying you, the princess of the Xia Kingdom, for half a day, but it has a miraculous effect. You finally couldn't help it anymore, lowered yourself, and got off the bus yourself."
Zhao Ji carefully looked up from bottom to top. After looking at Mr. Cao who was blocking the way in front of him, a glint flashed in his eyes and he thought to himself: "Ms. Cao is so pretty!"
The 18-year-old Princess Cao of the Xixia Kingdom, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was so beautiful that she captivated the country and the city.
Zhao Ji saw that her lower body was a sapphire-colored pleated long skirt with wide ruffles of different colors at the hem. They were layered like waves and swayed gently in the wind. She was fresh and refined, as if she was floating like a fairy.
.
Ms. Cao's upper body was wearing a large jacket with narrow right gusset sleeves and a full train. The color was an elegant lotus color, which made her look noble yet still ladylike.
There are slits on both sides of her coat and below her waist, allowing her to move freely without losing her dignity. The neckline, cuffs, slits and hem are all made of gold brushed trim, which sparkles in the sun and makes it even more elegant.
It looks like she has a noble temperament.
She wears a four-petal lotus bud crown on her head. The edges of the lotus petals are covered with jewels, shining with bright light. The earrings and neck ornaments worn below are even more exquisite, highlighting her noble status.
.
In Zhao Ji's eyes, the Xia imperial concubine's costumes and headgear worn by Cao were deeply influenced by Han women's clothing in the Song Dynasty, but they retained some of Xixia's unique national customs, making her unique.
Extremely conspicuous.
Zhao Ji looked at Cao's pretty face again, and saw that her face was extremely beautiful, with eyebrows like crescent moons, eyes like autumn waves, a straight and beautiful nose bridge, and lips as red as cherries.
Her skin was as white as snow, as if it could be broken by a blow.

Cao's temperament was noble and elegant, and every move she made was so graceful that Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel excited.
In the year since Zhao Ji traveled through time, he has seen and favored many beauties, but Cao's beauty was different.
Whether Mr. Cao is slightly nodding or raising his hand, he exudes charming charm.
"The slave family would like to ask the Zhao Guan family of the Great Song Dynasty. You violated the peace agreement between Xia and Song Dynasty three years ago and rashly raised troops to invade our country of Daxia. You also forced the emperor of Daxia to send a little girl from the slave family to your military camp! This is
How is Xing different from Jie and Zhou?"
"The Zhao Guan family, aren't you afraid that your ridiculous behavior will be recorded in the annals of history and will be infamy for thousands of years?"
"Hahaha..." Zhao Ji laughed loudly when he heard this.
He walked up to the beauty Cao who was like a rose with thorns, raised his left hand, pinched Cao's smooth face with his fingers, and at the same time used his left palm to hold up Cao's slightly pointed and beautiful chin.
, scolded:
"What a sharp mouth!"
Ms. Cao's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she was extremely throbbing.
In her opinion, although she was abandoned by the ruthless Xia Emperor Li Qianshun and presented to the Song Emperor, this was only her first meeting with the Song Emperor!
Zhao Jiguan's family did such a frivolous and obscene act, pinching the slave's face, holding the slave's chin, and teasing him in public, which is really embarrassing.
The reason why Cao took the initiative to walk out of the well-protected Siyu family, met Zhao Guan's family, and dared to scold the Emperor of Song Dynasty like Jie and Zhou was because she wanted to anger Zhao Guan's family and send her back to Xia Kingdom;
Even if he was killed for angering the Song Emperor, he might still be able to save the Cao family who were taken hostage by the Xia Emperor Li Qianshun.
Within half a day of entering Song Camp, she was searched twice. Each time she was searched, although she pretended to be calm on the surface, in fact, she was extremely frightened.
She was really scared when someone found out the vial of poison used to kill the Emperor of the Song Dynasty that Li Qianshun forced her to hide in her body.
"The officials let go!" Ms. Cao shouted in shame:
"Ah?! It hurts!"
"Please respect yourself as an official..."
"Ah?! It hurts!"
"Hehe..." Zhao Ji became more and more excited when he heard Cao's cry, and had no intention of letting go.
Zhao Ji took advantage of him physically, but he would never admit defeat verbally.
Faced with Cao's previous verbal attacks, Zhao Ji began to fight back:
"Ms. Cao, look at me carefully. I have something to say to you."
Mr. Cao, whose chin was held by Zhao Ji, had to look up to Zhao Guan's family.
At such a close distance, she looked at the majestic face of the Zhao Guan family with annoyance and shame. It was really many times more elegant and handsome than the Xia Emperor Li Qianshun of the Dangxiang clan!
Zhao Ji stared at Cao's stunning face with burning eyes and asked:
"Ms. Cao, are you Han?"
"yes!"
"Ms. Cao, is your grandfather Cao Mian, my disciple of the Song Dynasty? Are you the concubine of the current Xia Emperor Li Qianshun?"
When Cao heard this, his momentum became much weaker.
Through the gap between her white teeth, she reluctantly squeezed out one word:
"yes!"
"Humph!" Zhao Ji let go and stared at Cao's pretty face. While observing her facial expression, he asked deceptively:
"However, I see that your appearance does not look like the Princess Cao in the portrait sent back by the spies in the Xia Kingdom's palace!"
Zhao Ji stared at Mrs. Cao and found that her expression did not change much.
Zhao Ji had heard the testimonials of the Xia Imperial Guardsmen who had escorted the Xia envoys and the Cao family before, and had basically concluded that the Cao family in front of him was really the granddaughter of Cao Mian and the Xia Emperor Li Qianshun. Beloved concubine, the biological mother of Li Xiaoren, the future leader of the Xia Kingdom Zhongxing.
Historically, after Li Xiaoren inherited the throne of Xixia, he regarded his biological mother Cao as the mother of the country.
At this time, when Ms. Cao faced the doubts from Zhao Guan’s family, her face did not change and she said calmly:
"The Zhao Guan family, since they don't believe that the slave family is the imperial concubine of the Xia Kingdom, then send the slave family back to the Xia Kingdom!"
"Hahaha... Cao, you have a beautiful idea!"
"Previously, I asked Zhang Jun to send a message to the envoys of the Xia Kingdom, saying that I wanted to return the granddaughter of the traitor Cao Mian of the Song Dynasty, who is the current princess Cao of the Xia Kingdom. It was just a joke!"
In order to drive a wedge between Cao and Li Qianshun, Zhao Ji deceived him:
"Actually, my original move was just like the Xiongnu Maodun Shanyu wrote a courtship letter to Empress Lu. I just wanted to insult the enemy monarch! But I never expected that the Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was timid. Like a mouse, shameless, willing to be a cuckold, willing to be a tortoise monarch, you really brought Cao, the imperial concubine of Great Xia, to me!"
"Hahaha..." After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he laughed loudly.
After hearing Zhao Guan's explanation, Mrs. Cao hated Xia Emperor Li Qianshun extremely.
Cao, who came from a good family background, read poetry and "Historical Records" since childhood.
She knew the historical facts told by Zhao Guanjia about the Huns' Maodun Shanyu courting Empress Lu:
Not long after the death of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Maodun Shanyu of the Xiongnu felt that Empress Lu and the orphans and widows of Emperor Hui of Han were weak and could be bullied, so he wrote a frivolous, arrogant and rude courtship letter and sent an envoy to bring it to Empress Lu. , I want to wantonly insult Empress Dowager Lu, the actual ruler of the Han Dynasty.'
Cao still remembered the original text of the courtship letter to Empress Lu when she was studying history:
"The solitary monarch was born in Juze, grew up in the plains of wild cattle and horses, and traveled to the border. He originally traveled to China. Your majesty is independent and lives alone. The two masters are not happy and have nothing to worry about. They used to change their possessions to other places.
none."
Although the ancient Chinese prose from the Han Dynasty was a bit difficult to pronounce for Cao, she could understand its meaning:
In his courtship letter to Empress Lu, Maodun Shanyu of the Xiongnu translated it in vernacular as:
"I am a monarch who was born on the grassland and spends all day with cattle and horses. I am willing to visit China. Now, I am a bachelor. (Queen Lu) you are single. How about we get together and communicate with each other?"
"
Cao knew that Empress Lu in history cleverly rejected the advances (teasing) of Maodun Chanyu of the Xiongnu.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Empress Lu replied graciously: "I am old, my hair and teeth have deteriorated, and my walking has lost pace..." (I am already old, my hair has fallen out, and my teeth have lost pace...
It’s so loose that it’s difficult to walk. I’m no longer worthy of you, a young and vigorous prairie hero!)
"Creak, creak!" Cao's white teeth gritted loudly.
As she listened to Zhao Guanjia's words, she recalled how when she was studying history, she saw how Empress Lu defused Maodun Shanyu's 'wooing'; and then she thought about how the ruthless and unjust Xia Emperor Li Qianshun could really be so cruel to her.
This majestic imperial concubine of the Xia Kingdom was really dedicated to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty who was conducting the conquest in person!
Thinking of this, her hatred for Li Qianshun became even deeper.
If it weren't for the Cao family's fear that Li Qianshun held the lives of her family in her hands, she would really want to rebel now and force Xia Emperor Li Qianshun to hide her body and tell the truth about his poisonous desire to harm Zhao Guan's family, so that she could join the family.
After Song camp, he could find a way to survive.
"Woooooooo..."
The beauty Cao couldn't help but cry when she thought about the sad things.
Zhao Ji saw the beauty in front of him crying so hard that he stretched out his hand and took the initiative to wipe away Cao's tears. At the same time, he could also wipe the oil and actually touch Cao's smooth, tender and elastic pretty face.
