After a while, when Lao Li almost gave up hope, he planned to eat the leftover white noodle bun by himself.

Zhang Fu's jaw finally moved slowly, and after chewing for a while, the Adam's apple rolled with difficulty and swallowed the food in his mouth.

Then the pale lips parted slightly.

Old Li sneered, then broke off another piece of bun and stuffed it into him.

"You can eat it, life is really hard, you can't die."

...

No saffron looked unhappily at the Han woman in front of her.

She frowned: "Don't hurt me again, I am afraid of you Han people. All of them are cunning and cunning. That Zhang Fu was so tired that I was reprimanded by my sister, and I dare not provoke it again. You Han people."

"Hurry up!" She waved her sleeves to drive away, "For the sake of your being a woman, I won't care about you for the time being."

And the princess of Jin who was sitting upright in front of her didn't seem to have any temper and was still smiling.

I saw that she stretched out her plain white hand and opened a small square box in front of her.

Inside this inconspicuous box sat a pearl the size of an egg. The pearl was placed on a piece of black flannel, and Yingying gave birth to a soft brilliance, which actually brightened the entire palace.

I have never seen such a big and bright night pearl without saffron. I was surprised and raised my hand unconsciously.

Then she realized that she was a little gaffe, hurriedly adjusted her expression, and pouted in embarrassment.

"How could I harm Your Highness?" The Princess of Jin said softly, "I am here for the peace between Dajin and Xirong. When Your Highness helped me, I also helped countless people in Xirong. The Empress Dowager can distinguish right from wrong, and she can only praise and thank you for you."

The eyes without saffron flicked a few times on the night pearl, and my heart was slightly loose.

She stopped chasing people directly, and asked: "You keep saying that you want to talk about peace, but your Jin army has been attacking our Xirong town one after another these days. I don't know what Ande is thinking?"

Cheng Qianye, the princess of Jin State, spoke slowly and softly, and had a charm that made people feel less hostile to her before they knew it.

"If your and our two countries become a country of state, then the fight will naturally stop. Isn't it just the same for everyone?" Cheng Qianye got up and took two steps, and placed the box gently in front of the red beads. Crossed hands and gave a junior salute.

No saffron hesitated for a moment, remembered the slap in the face that the queen mother slapped on her face, put away her love for money, and pushed the box forward: "No, no, you can find someone else, I can't take your things. ."

Cheng Qianye smiled and stretched out his hand to hold the box lightly, "Your Highness has a noble and pure character, which makes me very impressed. I have been here for the past two days, although I have not seen the Queen Mother, but the high-ranking generals and ministers have seen a few. There is no one who is as clean as His Highness."

The saffron-free eyes rolled, and the strength in his hands loosened, "Let's talk about it first, what do you want me to do?"

"I saw my sister for the first time, and I admired her in my heart, but it's just a mere courtesy, how can I trouble my sister to do something embarrassing." Cheng Qianye sat down next to the saffron flower, held her hand and shook it gently,

"It's just that I heard that the Queen Mother is known to be dignified, and I felt a little uneasy in my heart. I wanted to ask my sister to say something nice for me."

No saffron heard that, so be relieved. Finally a smile appeared.

"This, this is nothing. Tomorrow the Queen Mother will summon you, and then I will find an excuse to enter the palace and say a few good words for you from the side."

Cheng Qianye got up and thanked him and left.

After a while, Pei Zhen, the nephew who didn't hide saffron, came in.

Seeing him appear at the door without Saffron, she quietly raised her sleeves to cover it, and sunk the small box into her sleeves.

"Aunt." Muzang Pei Zhen was very casual in front of this little aunt, and sat down on the chair beside her.

He stretched out his hand to straighten his sleeves, "When my nephew came in, I ran into the princess of Jin under the porch. She came to my nephew's house the day before yesterday, and I didn't expect that even my little aunt would be spared today. "

Without saffron, she glanced at him: "Cheng Qianye, the princess of Jin, is a person who can't be provoked, so don't pay attention to her. My sister's attitude is still undecided. She has been hanging on for a few days, and she will be summoned tomorrow. "

Without hiding Pei Zhen's indifferent smile: "She didn't ask me to do anything, but just asked me to show mercy to Zhang Fu's subordinates. I think that the aunt has not yet decided on this matter, so she still has to keep it around. That Zhang Fu died. I promised her."

He touched his chin, remembering that he had just passed by under the porch, the princess was neither arrogant nor humble, and gave him a slight nod with a slight smile.

Without saffron, he said, "Don't have any crooked thoughts. Men in Jin are as cunning as foxes, and women must be as sinister as venomous snakes. According to me, our men in Xirong are only worthy of our women on the prairie. "Pei Zhen, don't imitate your uncles and marry a Han woman."

"I don't have any idea. I just think that although this woman looks as gentle and submissive as a Chinese woman on the surface, it gives people a feeling of indescribable." Pei Zhen squinted and thought for a while, Finding the right words, "It's like an aunt, even if she can't be angry, she has an aura in her bones."

The next morning, Cheng Qianye was finally received by the Empress Dowager Xirong Mizang.

When the Empress Dowager Buzang looked at the young Princess of Jin who came slowly from the door of the main hall, she actually suppressed a wave of anger in her heart.

The lord of Jin, Jinyuehou, sent his sister to come to negotiate with him, but sent two generals under his command to attack the border towns of Xirong.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Buzang had just imprisoned her son, intending to support a new king, and the Xirong Dynasty was in chaos. I really can't take it out to start a war with Jin, and I really need this negotiation.

However, she was forced to bow her head half-heartedly and shake hands with the enemy who had just attacked her own city, which made her feel aggrieved after being smooth for a long time.

After the princess of Jin arrived as an envoy, the Empress Dowager didn't deliberately not summon her immediately, just wanting to cool her down, so that the young princess would also be confused and arrogant.

The princess began to visit everywhere, and in just a few days, she visited almost all the important officials in the court.

In the past few days, the wind in the court has changed subtly. The courtiers began to believe in the sincerity of the Jin State's negotiation, and many people advised her to meet the Jin State princess.

The Empress Dowager has not been in control of the government for many years, and she is a true statesman. Although she is angry in her heart, she still gives Cheng Qianye a seat without losing her grace.

She hit Rang Qianye up and down and said, "Isn't your Jin state so unmanned? You actually sent a delicate princess like you as an envoy?"

Cheng Qianye laughed: "It would be fine if someone else said it. It really surprised me a little when I said it from the Queen Mother. Our women are only bound by the world, and there are many inconveniences when we do things, but in fact we are not Nothing worse than a man."

"I heard your name of the queen mother when I was very young. I have always admired the queen mother's behavior, and regarded you as a model for me and other women. If the mother said this today, it must be just a joke with my junior?"

Although she knew what Cheng Qianye said, she deliberately gave herself a hug, but these words really cut into the heart of the Queen Mother who did not hide. As a woman, she has experienced many hardships along the way, only she knows, she has always been the most difficult Look down on those arrogant women.

This princess is really good at talking. The Queen Mother reminded herself in her heart that she was a very stable person. Don't underestimate her because she was young.

"You Jin Kingdom just robbed me of Zhengzhou and hurt the lives of many warriors in my Xirong. Now I have sent you to negotiate, how can I trust your sincerity?" The Empress Dowager didn't pick up Qianye's words, and went directly to the topic.

"The Empress Dowager, have you ever heard a sentence?" Cheng Qianye said, her voice was clear and her words were clear, and she uploaded it in the empty hall, "There may be a dead end that cannot be resolved between people. But between countries, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.”

"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests?" The Empress Dowager Bu Zang chewed this sentence in her heart. If you haven't been in the political arena for many years, you can't really appreciate the deep meaning of this remark.

"What's more, there is no deep hatred between our two countries. Zhengzhou is the land of my Han people. We are just asking for it back. Now, my brother only wants to let the subjects in the country rest and live and work in peace and contentment. Sincerely sent me as an envoy. The country, I want to rule the land with the Queen Mother, so far, good neighborliness and friendship, and the state exchanges."

The empress dowager did not hide the potential meaning behind these high-sounding words. Jin State is an emerging and rising country. It has just expanded a large area of ​​land. It needs time to stabilize the results, cultivate people's livelihood, and strengthen its national strength.
