"Female?" Xie Yao was a little surprised by the news.
In this era, not to mention sending envoys, even serving as officials in the court and as generals on expeditions, all were men, with very few exceptions!
She had always thought this way, but she didn't expect that this time the Nanling Congress would send a woman as an envoy.
"Place her in the main hall." Xie Yao suddenly wanted to see this female envoy, and was a little curious about what kind of woman could be sent out by Nan Ling Kingdom as an envoy.
She still remembered that this envoy was born in a general's palace. He didn't like to wield swords and guns, but only liked to recite poems and paint. She thought he was a weak scholar, but turned out to be a woman.
"Your Majesty, I'll go find Wu Wei." Wu Peiya was a little worried, even though the envoy came alone.
"No, and Wufeng is not in Fengyi Palace at the moment. You can just go with me." Xie Yao didn't take it seriously.
If the envoy from Nanling Kingdom wanted to cause trouble, he would have done it long ago. There is no need to wait until now.
"Yes." When Wu Peiya heard that Wu Feng was not there, she could only nod and go out.
Xie Yao then simply tidied up and went straight to the main hall.
Because of my big belly, I have difficulty moving, so my walking speed is slower.
When she arrived, she saw many people standing outside the main hall, all of whom were from Fengyi Palace.
When I walked inside, I saw palace ladies standing on both sides of the main hall, and the density was much denser than usual.
Xie Yao just took a quick glance and estimated that the entire Fengyi Palace servants were here.
Moreover, she also saw Zi Qing next to Wu Peiya.
"Empress." Wu Peiya noticed Xie Yao's eyes looking around, lowered her head and whispered.
Ziqing also saluted together.
Xie Yao waved her hand and then looked at the woman standing in the hall.
The woman was not wearing a long skirt, but was wearing a smart outfit, somewhat similar to the clothes worn by soldiers in a military camp, but much more refined.
The most conspicuous thing is the woman's sassy short hair, which is shorter than the man's hair.
"I have met the Queen of Wanqi Kingdom." When the woman saw Xie Yao, she saluted with great courtesy and her attitude was indifferent.
"There's no need to be formal, just stay calm." Xie Yao sat down and raised his hand, "Envoy Cai wants to see me late at night. Why?"
She remembered that the envoy's surname seemed to be Cai.
Cai Tianyun cupped her hands towards Xie Yao, took out a delicate box from her arms, and asked the palace attendant to hand it over, "I heard that the queen is pregnant, and her belly is very big, so she may not have a baby. This is my only child in Nanling Kingdom.
There is a treasure, Nanling Ginseng, which is warm and tonic, suitable for pregnant women to replenish qi and blood."
"This Nanling ginseng is three hundred years old and has better warming and tonic effects."
Wu Peiya took the box and immediately began to examine it carefully.
The Queen is pregnant. Who knows the purpose of this envoy's late night visit. It's best to be careful.
After the inspection, she found no problems, and then passed it to Xie Yao, "Madam, I didn't find anything abnormal, but it's always good to be careful."
Xie Yao took the box, opened it and took a look, her eyes brightened slightly.
There is nothing wrong with this Nanling ginseng, but it is more than 300 years old. It is a rare and top-quality ginseng, and it has a good effect on pregnant women.
Now that she is good at medicine and poison, she is not worried about what tricks Cai Tianyun will play in front of her.
"Thank you very much, Ambassador Cai, for your kindness. I will accept it." Xie Yao said directly and looked at Cai Tianyun.
Seeing Xie Yao accept it so readily, Cai Tianyun raised her eyebrows as if she was a little surprised, "I didn't expect the queen to be so willing. I thought the queen was afraid and wouldn't dare to accept it."
This sentence is very straightforward!
After she finished speaking, she glanced around, and even looked back towards the outside of the hall, with a cold and disdainful expression on the corner of her mouth.
Many palace officials from Fengyi Palace were standing in these places.
She came to Xie Yao alone, but Xie Yao was so cautious.
Xie Yao saw Cai Tianyun's thoughts and did not defend herself, "Now, Wanqi Kingdom has lost three countries in a row, and its momentum is at its peak. Although there will be unscrupulous people who want to murder me, you are the envoy of Nanling Kingdom and will not be stupid.
To the point of harming me at the cost of destroying the Nanling Kingdom."
The implication is that she has nothing to fear, because the Nanling Kingdom is the defeated general of the Wanqi Kingdom, and it is the Nanling Kingdom that should be feared.
Cai Tianyun's face darkened, and she directly retorted, "Wanqi Kingdom just won by luck. If the two armies really faced off, they might not be Nanling Kingdom's opponent."
Xie Yao smiled and said nothing, looking at Cai Tianyun with a pair of dull eyes.
Xie Wenwu indeed took advantage of Nanling's unpreparedness to achieve a great victory. It seems that Nanling is not convinced!
However, if the two armies really faced off, Xie Wenwu would not be afraid of anyone in Nanling!
Seeing that Xie Yao did not continue, Cai Tianyun also calmed down and changed the topic, "I came to see the Queen today. In addition to sending Nan Ling Ginseng, I also have another purpose, which is to see the Queen with my own eyes."
"When I was in the Nanling Kingdom, I heard people say that there was a Princess Han in the Wanqi Kingdom. She was very skilled in medicine, and she attached great importance to love and righteousness. She stayed by King Han's side at all costs. Now, you are so proud of her.
When the moon shines, King Han proclaims himself the emperor, and you become the queen, which is also the result of your cultivation."
Xie Yao smiled calmly, with a graceful expression, "Now, you have met me as you wished."
Obviously, this is not Cai Tianyun's real purpose.
"This is just the beginning." Cai Tianyun also smiled, with a hint of hostility in his smile. It was as if he had made Xie Yao a rival.
Xie Yao captured this detail keenly, her eyes moved slightly, "What does Ambassador Cai mean by this?"
"Does the Queen know that the Crown Princess is going to hold a talent show?" Cai Tianyun asked without answering, with a bright look in her eyes.
"I know." Xie Yao's answer was very brief, without a single extra word or expression. She was very calm, like an outsider.
Cai Tianyun glanced at Xie Yao and was not surprised by Xie Yao's reaction, "Everyone said that the queen is a thoughtful person, and now it seems that she is. The emperor of Wanqi Kingdom is about to draft, but the queen is so calm, which is admirable."
"But there is nothing wrong with it. The Emperor of Wanqi Kingdom has just ascended the throne, and it is quite inappropriate for you to be the only one in the harem. Moreover, you are still pregnant and cannot serve. The Crown Princess is already old, and she still has to deal with such things.
It is indeed not easy. It is not appropriate for you to object, both emotionally and rationally."
Looking at Cai Tianyun's expression, which seemed to indicate that she was certain of winning, Xie Yao suddenly raised her eyebrows, "So, is Ambassador Cai going to participate in the draft and become the emperor's man?"
She came up late at night and said this, but she couldn't find any reason for Cai Tianyun to do this, except that she wanted to enter the harem and become Chu Han's woman.
Although it is a question, I already have the answer in my heart.
Then I took a closer look at Cai Tianyun. Although her appearance was not that beautiful, it was still extremely beautiful. Paired with her heroic appearance, she had a unique charm.
