During this period of time, Shen Yuyu listened to Ji Xun a lot about Dali's government affairs.
Emperor Jiade of the Dali Kingdom must be said to be a wise king who kept his promises, benevolent, loved the people, and loved peace. Therefore, during the period of time when the Zhou Kingdom was disrupting the Dali Kingdom, he was doing his duty honestly and abiding by the peace treaty signed that year without making any small moves.
However, Emperor Jiade suddenly fell seriously ill more than a month ago, and Prince Dongfang Peng took charge of the country.
Dongfang Peng is a true militant. After he supervised the country, he couldn't restrain himself and repeatedly caused trouble on the border.
Fortunately, Ji Xun had already taken precautions. When he conquered Niu Zhi, he sent 300,000 troops to garrison the southeastern border. If Dali dared to act rashly, Ji Xun would definitely put aside the civil strife and turn to deal with Dali.
Therefore, Dali kept making small moves and did not dare to make any big moves. Now she sent envoys to the capital of Zhou Dynasty quietly, and she was not sure what the purpose was.
"General He, go ahead." It was inconvenient for Shen Yuyu to hold up her stomach, but she was also curious about such an important matter. "By the way, remember to incognito and find out the identities of Dali and her party.'
"Okay, my subordinates are going to go now. I will definitely find out their details." After saying that, He Mang put down the curtain and retreated.
As soon as He Mang left, Grandma Liao came in holding a variety of food trays.
"Are you hungry, ma'am? Sit down quickly and eat something."
Grandma Liao was smiling and kind.
He came in with a food tray, took down five or six steaming dishes, and placed them on the table carefully.
One of the dishes is crucian carp soup. The soup is milky white and fragrant, making you salivate when you smell it.
You must know that fish are extremely rare in this winter. In order to catch this crucian carp, Grandma Liao spent a lot of time and her three sons froze in the wind and snow for several nights before catching a dozen of them.
He was raised in the house and slowly made soup to replenish the body of the princess. Pregnant women drank this soup better than anything else.
Grandma Liao took a bowl and scooped out the soup and said, "Other dishes cooked by Lao Nu are not as delicious as the ones made by the queen, but the queen must try this crucian carp soup, it is so delicious.'
When Shen Yuyu saw that Grandma Liao was satisfied with her craftsmanship, she laughed loudly and said: "Oh, Grandma Liao, please don't be modest. The fish you make is better than mine. Haha, I have to drink it." A big bowl."
She was telling the truth, she was indeed not that good at making fish, and it was normal for her to lose to Grandma Liao.
Seeing that Shen Yuyu wanted to drink a big bowl, Grandma Liao became anxious again and hurriedly advised: "Eat less and more often, so as not to make your stomach uncomfortable if you eat too much."
Aunt Liao is someone who has been here before. She knows that when you are pregnant, your stomach will be squeezed, and it will become unbearably bloated if you eat a little too much.
So I didn't dare to scoop more for her, so it was less than half a bowl.
Shen Yuyu took a sip with great pleasure, and then tasted several other dishes and praised them highly.
"No, mama, your cooking skills are progressing too fast, right? I'm afraid I have to give up my title of God of Cooking to you."
Grandma Liao beamed when she received the princess's praise, "Look at your little mouth, it's sweeter than candy!" After saying this, she happily stood aside to wait for Shen Yuyu to eat.
Besides, He Mang changed into ordinary clothes and left the palace, crowding in the crowd to watch the envoys from Dali Kingdom.
It was not that the envoys from the Dali Kingdom came to visit the Great Zhou Kingdom without greetings in advance. They just greeted the Empress Dowager and the little baby emperor. The Empress Dowager also expressed a warm welcome to their visit.
But what they didn't expect was that before they arrived at the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the direction of the Great Zhou court changed drastically.
I heard that Emperor Qi Heng had returned to the Great Zhou Palace under the escort of the Night King and had taken control of the political power of the Great Zhou Kingdom, so their trip seemed a bit embarrassing.
Of course, the most important thing is that there are three important figures in the envoy team, the third prince and two princesses of Dali Kingdom.
Dongfang Peng arranged for them to come here with the purpose of getting married.
Of course, only he knew what Dongfang Peng had planned in private. In short, Xia Luoluo and 'Prime Minister Zhou' were in favor of the marriage at that time.
Xia Luoluo and Wei Xuanyuan's analysis of the situation at that time was as follows: as long as Zhu Xiangyu defended Jinzhou, the Zhou Kingdom would most likely split into northern and southern countries.
Since the Night King has the backing of Daqi, they must seek the backing of Dali.
Therefore, when Dali extended an olive branch to them, Xia Luoluo and Wei Xuanyuan's group also happily agreed.
That's why today's envoy from the Dali Kingdom made this trip.
"There is not even an official to greet us, so we are treated so lightly." On the gorgeous carriage, the pretty woman in purple complained to the woman in green, "Brother Emperor, too. He should have said something like this when he heard this situation."
It was so embarrassing to go back home.
She is the third princess of Dali Kingdom, Dongfang Yan, and the girl in green next to her is her imperial sister, the fourth princess, Dongfang Qi.
Although the two of them are not direct children, they are Princess Dali after all. They go everywhere without shouting and hugging each other. They are actually being ignored today, which makes them angry and helpless.
Dongfang Qi'an helped, "That's all, why are you angry? Besides, they didn't mean to be lazy. Maybe Emperor Qi Heng didn't even know that our envoy was coming.
Dongfang Yan pouted and said nothing.
The third prince Dongfang Hong, who was riding in the sedan chair, raised his chin high, looking aloof.
He is the younger brother of Prince Dongfang Peng, and his status is not insignificant.
He deliberately asked his subordinates to hold the flag of Dali and go to Beijing with great fanfare to publicize their status as envoys of Dali Kingdom.
No administrator to greet him? Being ignored? So what? This is the effect he wants.
Unifying the Central Plains was the crown prince's grand ambition. Didn't he need a reason to break up the peace treaty with the Zhou Dynasty? He wished he had suffered all the humiliation and neglect in the Zhou Dynasty.
There were a lot of people watching. The wells of Dazhou and Dali were not in contact with each other, and there was little business exchange, so everyone was full of curiosity about the Dali people.
"Look at their clothes? The flowers are big, red and green, just like a small moving garden. They are so eye-catching."
It's true that the costumes of the Dali Kingdom are all embroidered with large flowers, which are very exaggerated and gorgeous, representing their wild and enthusiastic character.
The other differences are not big.
The group of people walked slowly through the streets. Since there were no officials to greet them, they simply checked into an inn and checked in.
Dongfang Hong did not forget to tell his subordinates to place the flag of Dali in a conspicuous place outside the inn, and then sent someone to deliver the note to the palace.
After He Mang mingled with the crowd and watched the excitement, he found out clearly the identities of the envoy and his entourage, and then returned to the palace to report to Shen Yu.
When Shen Yuyu heard that a prince and two princesses were coming, he knew that there would definitely be a stir.
But she didn't take it seriously. Her family, A Ran Ding, was capable of handling it well.
At this moment in the palace, Ji Xun had arranged everything in the palace and was about to leave the palace. At this time, a chamberlain father-in-law hurried over with a poster.
"Your Highness, the envoy from Dali Kingdom has arrived and is now trapped in an inn. How should we arrange this?"
