Chapter 840 You Beixiao Nation are late for the wedding banquet
At the same time, three figures, one big and two small, were practicing swordplay in the yard on the bluestone ground of Kunning Palace. Jiang Fenghua, wearing a red outfit that outlined her tall figure, had a sharp gaze and the sword light was like water cutting through the hazy morning mist, causing the two children to cheer frequently.
Jiang Fenghua stopped his sword and said, "Xian'er, You'er, try the moves that mother used just now."
The two little men, holding wooden swords in their hands, also imitated the movements.
Jiang Fenghua then said, "Keep your wrist steady, follow the sword with your eyes, and don't be distracted..."
She walked in front of Xie Zixuan again, and used her arm to thrust forward fiercely, "Xun'er, your posture is very good, but your strength is too weak. You need to use more force when you draw your sword."
She said to Xie Hongyou: "You'er, your sword moves are too hasty, remember to keep your lower body steady..."
The two little guys nodded repeatedly and learned very seriously.
At this time, Wuxin sent a eunuch to report what happened in the Golden Palace: "Your Majesty, Wuxin sent a servant to report to you that three people who claimed to be envoys from the Northern Xiao Kingdom suddenly came to the Golden Palace, and their attitude was arrogant."
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "I know."
She didn't expect that the Beixiao Kingdom she saw in her dream would appear so soon. There was no Beixiao Kingdom in her memory of her previous life, and even if such a country did not appear in the next ten years, she didn't know why, but she dreamed that the Beixiao Kingdom destroyed the Great Zhou after a few decades.
Many things in this life have changed and are no longer following the trajectory of the previous life.
Bei Xiaoguo suddenly appeared, and what did her dream mean?
Jiang Fenghua always felt that this dream was not because she took the medicine to restore her memory, but was related to the recent appearance of assassins in the palace, and even the assassin's murder of Zhang Yurou, as well as the Disha Sect's pattern of the waning moon and whale.
She asked again: "What reason did the people of Beixiao come to Dazhou?"
The eunuch said, "I heard that they came to congratulate the Emperor and His Majesty on their wedding."
Jiang Fenghua sneered, "Congratulations on your wedding? It's been more than two months since you came to congratulate me. I'm afraid you're just a weasel wishing a happy new year to a chicken."
She turned to the children and said, "That's all for today. You'er, Xian'er, go back to your room first!"
Xie Hongyou asked: "What kind of people are the people of Beixiao?"
Jiang Fenghua didn't know what they looked like, "You'll know once you go and take a look. You should stay in the palace and don't go anywhere."
She then said to Lian Ye, "Send more people to guard the princes and princesses. No one is allowed to approach them, including the concubines in the palace."
She didn't want to be too cautious, but the dream she had was that the Northern Xiao Kingdom would destroy the Great Zhou in the future...
Although it was several decades later, many things in this life have changed.
Jiang Fenghua hurried back to the bedroom and quickly changed her clothes. Hongxiu changed her clothes while asking, "Your Majesty, why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?"
"There are envoys coming to the Great Zhou, and I have a feeling that something is going on, so I am going to take a look at the situation in the Golden Throne Hall."
Jiang Fenghua changed her clothes quickly. The palace maids put on the Nine-Phoenix Crown and the gorgeous phoenix robe for her. The woman in the bronze mirror changed from a heroic warrior to a graceful queen in the blink of an eye. A red spider lily between her eyebrows showed that she was still sharp, and a sharp look flashed in her eyes.
Jiang Fenghua looked at herself in the mirror, her slender fingertips gently stroking her hair, "Hongxiu, bring that silver hairpin over for me to wear."
Hongxiu naturally knew what the silver hairpin that the Queen was talking about. When she heard this, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. Didn’t the Queen lose her memory?
Jiang Fenghua glanced at Hongxiu and said in a deep voice, "Go ahead. I haven't worn it for a long time. Did you forget where you put it?"
Hongxiu was stunned and didn't dare to say anything else. She hurried to get it.
Just wait for her to take out this specially made silver hairpin from the storeroom, "Madam."
"Put it on me!"
Hongxiu said: "Yes."
She glanced at Hongxiu in the mirror. In her previous life, this girl died only two years later than Lianye. In the end, she was the one who let them down.
This silver hairpin looks ordinary but is actually a hidden weapon. With a light press it can shoot out three poisonous needles as thin as cow hair.
She didn't want to wear it, but she always felt like someone was watching her, and with so many things happening, she had to be on guard.
She suddenly took Hongxiu's hand and said, "You and Lianye are the people I trust the most. It has not been easy for us to get to where we are today."
Hongxiu's eyes were red, "My Lady."
Jiang Fenghua placed his finger between her lips and said, "Shh! Please accompany me for a walk!"
"Yes." Hongxiu immediately understood what she meant.
-
Jinluan Palace.
Xie Shang suddenly sat up straight from his seat, his brows furrowed even deeper. He swept his eyes over the ministers in the hall and finally landed on You Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. "I have not received any report of the visit of the envoys from the Northern Xiao Kingdom."
Minister You hurriedly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I was about to report to you at the morning court today. I just received the news. According to the post station, in addition to the Northern Xiao Kingdom, envoys from the Fan Kingdom, the Western Regions, the Chaoxi Kingdom, the Dandong Kingdom, and other 16 countries have arrived in the Great Zhou. Their unified statement is to congratulate Your Majesty and the Queen on your wedding."
Xie Shang's eyes flashed with a sharpness. He and Jiang Fenghua got married five years ago, and this wedding was also held to welcome the queen to the palace for the coronation ceremony. More than two months have passed, and now they suddenly come to congratulate, which is a bit strange.
The killers of the Disha organization all have the pattern of a waning moon and whale pattern, while the totem of the Beixiao Kingdom is a whale pattern. They also have no actual evidence to prove that the killers of the Disha organization were created by people from the Beixiao Kingdom. The two may just be a coincidence.
Xie Shang retracted his gaze and said in a calm voice, "Come in, Xuan!"
He wanted to see what the Beixiao people who lived north of the extremely cold Arctic glaciers looked like.
Soon, following the eunuch's call outside the door, three burly men wearing wolfskin cloaks and carrying scimitars on their waists walked in. They did not kneel down, but bowed slightly, "The envoys of the Northern Xiao Kingdom greet the Emperor of the Great Zhou."
Following them in came the Imperial Guards. Shangguan Li said, "Your Majesty, I asked them to hand over their weapons, but they refused."
Xie Shang looked cold and waved at them, signaling them to leave.
The civil and military officials in the palace were shocked by the attitude of the three men. The Left Censor-in-Chief Liu Yong shouted, "How dare you not kneel before the emperor!"
The envoy grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "As a Beixiao man, I only kneel before Changshengtian and the Khan. Coming here today to congratulate His Majesty the Great Zhou on his wedding is the highest etiquette for me."
When the ministers in the court heard this, they all whispered to each other, "This... this... is arrogant, too arrogant."
Xie Shang raised his hand to stop the anger of the ministers, and looked at the envoy of Beixiao Kingdom calmly, and said in a deep voice, "The wedding ceremony of the queen and I has ended. You, the Beixiao Kingdom, are too late to attend the wedding banquet of the queen and me."
