Just as he was about to say something, Xue Baochai had already come out from inside. She said to the crowd, "Everyone, let's compare our piggies and tidy up our appearances. We will be entering the palace soon. The Empress has summoned us."
"The Empress is summoning us?" The group of people were puzzled.
Xue Baochai pulled everyone aside and explained in a low voice, "I don't know what's going on either. But it's not a bad thing. It proves the goodwill of the Western Xia authorities toward our Great Song. You're all going to be the Emperor's son-in-law. It'll be more helpful for you to get acquainted with the people in the palace."
"Yes, what if we see Princess Yinchuan in the palace?"
"I've heard that Princess Yinchuan is incomparably beautiful and has an unparalleled appearance. But no one has ever seen her. It's hard to say that the Xixia people are just blowing their own trumpet. If they find out that she's a bitch when they marry her, they'll be done for."
"Not bad, not bad. It's better to inspect the goods first."
Xue Baochai wished she could tear their mouths apart. She thought that the Crown Princess of the Western Xia Country was still talking with the yellow-robed woman in the hall. If she heard what they said and heard it, wouldn't the Princess have an extremely bad impression of them?
"Why is the Empress summoning us and not the Emperor? Xixia is really a barbarian land. The womenfolk of the palace show their faces in public all day long. What a scandal! " In the Southern Song Dynasty, Confucianism was very popular. Many young ladies were not even allowed to come down from the attic after they turned a few years old, let alone meet strange men. So when they heard that the Empress summoned them, a group of outsiders, they felt it was a bit unbelievable.
"Your news is too outdated. Although Emperor Li Liangzuo managed to quell the civil strife during the Western Xia Country's rebellion, he was also seriously injured. So, he has been living in seclusion to recuperate. So, the Empress is in charge of the state affairs."
"I heard that the Empress is also a beautiful girl. She just got married and her husband is bedridden for a long time. Isn't she a widow? Now that he's in power, who knows how many cuckolds he'll make the Emperor wear in the future. "
"Do you think that she summoned us into the palace this time to choose a male escort?"
"Hehe, then I have to dress up properly. I have never tasted the taste of an Empress in my life, let alone a beautiful girl. Aiyo, who hit me?"
…
Black lines appeared on Song Qingshu's face. He said coldly, "It's not a gentleman's behavior to talk about people behind their backs."
"Hey, what kind of gentleman are you? Don't think that we don't know what you're up to. You're always thinking about other people's families … "
Song Qingshu raised his eyebrows. It seemed like many people in the circle knew about Jia Baoyu's hobby.
Xue Baochai also shot a fierce glare at Song Qingshu. Obviously, it was impossible for her to not have heard about it since she was a member of the Imperial City Guards. However, she didn't say anything. Instead, she stopped them and said, "All of you, shut up. The Crown Princess of Xixia has come out."
A beautiful woman walked out. She was dressed in the unique clothing of the Western Xia, and there were many gold and silver ornaments hanging on her clothes. Not only did she not have the slightest sense of incongruity, but it also made her skin look even more white and tender.
Song Qingshu couldn't help but sigh. Yelu Nanxian was becoming more and more charming. Not only did she retain the innocence of a young girl, but she also occasionally revealed the charm of a young married woman. Her identity as the Crown Princess and the Hua Residence made her even more noble. At the same time, she also had a hint of exotic charm. It was no wonder that these Southern Prince Song brothers were all drooling.
Yelu Nanxian clearly noticed the passionate and lustful gazes of these good-for-nothings. She couldn't help but frown, feeling quite displeased. However, she still patiently looked at the crowd. When she saw Song Qingshu, her eyes suddenly lit up and the corners of her lips curled up into a shallow smile. Good network!
"Everyone, please!" Yelu Nanxian made an inviting gesture and left with her subordinates. She returned to her carriage and led the way.
The Southern Song Family did not need Xue Baochai's greeting. They all followed behind her.
On the way, Xue Pan and Song Qingshu were in the same carriage. Xue Pan bumped his shoulder and winked, "What do you think of the Crown Princess? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"She is indeed quite beautiful." Song Qingshu also smiled warmly.
"This Crown Princess is too pitiful. I heard that she is the princess of the Western Xia Kingdom. In the end, her father participated in the rebellion. In order to protect the family, she had no choice but to marry the Crown Prince of the Western Xia Kingdom. Halfway through, she was snatched away by Li Yuanhao. In the end, the Western Xia Kingdom was plunged into chaos.
"Eh?" Song Qingshu looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect Xue Pan to be a soulmate. Yelu Nanxian's fate was indeed a bit too bitter. But why did these words sound so strange coming from Xue Pan's mouth?
As expected, Xue Pan's true nature was revealed in the next second, "This pitiful woman is waiting for me to save her from the abyss of suffering. I've decided. I don't want any princess in the Western Xia Kingdom's marriage selection. I will go and comfort this Crown Princess!"
Song Qingshu was speechless, "Weren't you determined to get the Dual Cultivation Princess? Why did you change your target so quickly?"
Xue Pan laughed, "How can you ask such a stupid question? Who said I gave up on the Dual Cultivation Princess? What kind of man are you if you don't love? "
"Get lost!" Song Qingshu was not interested in discussing his woman with him. He closed his eyes and began to think about his next move.
At this time, in another carriage, Xue Baochai asked the yellow-robed woman, "Big Sister Yang, what is the Western Xia's intention? Could it be that you have some kind of relationship with the Western Xia Empress? "
The yellow-robed woman shook her head, also puzzled, "No, I don't know either. Could it be that the Western Xia is planning to ally with our Great Song and choose one of us as the Emperor's son-in-law? Have they decided to first look at their appearance and character? "
"I don't think so." Xue Baochai shook her head. She had been in the Imperial City Department for many years and had many dealings with the Class One Hall. "The Western Xia Empire has been at war with our Great Song ever since it was founded. Although our relationship has eased in recent years, it has never reached the point of an alliance. If they really want to ally with us, they should choose the Jin Empire. The relationship between the Western Xia Empire and the Jin Empire has always been good. Even Liao is fine. After all, he is the Crown Princess. However, Liao is like a sun setting in the west, so the Western Xia Empire won't bet on them. "
The yellow-robed woman looked distressed, "This is also the thing that puzzles me the most. Apart from Mongolia, the Jin Empire is the most likely choice for the Western Xia Empire. But why did the Jin Empire only send a young princess dressed as a man? Will the Western Xia Empire really dare to choose her as the Emperor's son-in-law? Do they think that the people of other countries are blind? "
"I don't understand either. I keep feeling that there is a big conspiracy behind this." Xue Baochai lifted the curtain and looked at the Crown Princess's support. "We can only take one step at a time."
While the two women were worried, the Lv brothers in the other carriage looked excited. Lv Shisheng said, "Big brother, our chance is here. The Empress of the Western Xia Empire was born in the Qin Family. The Qin Family left the Southern Song Dynasty and sought refuge with the Western Xia Empire. We have a natural connection with them."
Lv Shidao nodded and said, "Yes, the Qin Family was badly purged in the previous turmoil of the Western Xia Empire. Now their power is greatly damaged. The Empress has just come to the court and is in urgent need of external help. This is our chance. God is really helping us!"
Lv Shisheng suddenly said with an ambiguous expression, "What's more perfect is that the Empress is still very young and beautiful, while the Emperor is sick and won't live for long. In the future, she is likely to follow the story of Empress Wu. Can't we take this opportunity to be Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong?"
Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong were Wu Zetian's male favorites. They were favored by Wu Zetian and could be said to have great power.
