Chapter 331 Slave as a maidservant
Generally speaking, today's trip to Ningbi Pool is quite happy. From Zhao Huan, an official, to every general, he was in a relaxed mood. In the past few years, the turmoil of the Song Dynasty has been in danger several times, and today it is finally a little more peaceful. Although Chu Tianya doesn't particularly like this kind of happy days of singing and dancing, he doesn't mind letting others relax for a short time and enjoy some fun in life.
Therefore, when the officials rewarded the generals with gold and silver treasures and beautiful maids, Chu Tianya did not express any opinion. These men come and go in the blood, and they are born and die with meritorious deeds. It is also appropriate to get this reward. However, neither Chu Tianya nor Xue Yu received any beautiful women. The former is not needed, and the latter is not rare.
When the officials saw that Chu Tianya refused the reward of the beautiful woman, they immediately thought of Princess Xianfei and said to Chu Tianya in private, "Aiqing, this princess from Xixia, you can take it back as soon as possible!"
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to listen to Weichen's truth or lies?"
Zhao Huan was curious for a moment, "How to tell the truth and how to speak?"
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "The lie is that Weichen does not want to mix the personal interests and gains and losses of Weichen in the diplomatic relations and major military affairs of the two countries. Previously, the King of Xixia sent envoys many times and presented jade seals, but the Song Dynasty has never sent troops. Now as soon as Princess Xianfei was sent here, the Song Dynasty immediately sent troops. If this spreads out, won't outsiders let outsiders say that your majesty and Weichen are both lustful people?
"Uh?" Zhao Huan was stunned, "Aiqing's words are reasonable! ...Well, this sounds like the truth!"
Chu Tianya still smiled and said, "In fact, there is no particularly obvious difference between true and false. The real thought in Weichen's heart was that no matter whether Xixia sent this princess or not, it was time for Song to send troops to help. In any case, we can't let Xixia perish in the hands of Yelu Dashi, so that Xiliao can dominate the Western Regions and erect a powerful enemy for the Song Dynasty.
"Well, Aiqing is very worried!" Zhao Huan nodded repeatedly, "Yelü Dashi is an ambitious man. Speaking of which, he is indeed a little talented. At the beginning, his bereaved minister established a country in the Western Regions with more than a hundred people. Up to now, he has dared to invade Xixia, which has been a hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It really can't be underestimated. I think that for Western Liao and Western Xia, it is just 'far and close attack', and the Song Dynasty supports Western Xia and Western Liao behind the scenes, so as to check and balance the two countries. In this way, there is no harm in every way. Now the battle situation in Xixia is tight. Aiqing sent 50,000 elite cavalry with Liu Ziyu to help. It's really wonderful!"
"Your Majesty is overreputed." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Listen to what Weichen said, your majesty should also understand that the Song Dynasty sent troops to help the war, which was actually out of interest, not Princess Xianfei herself. In addition, from the perspective of a man, Princess Xianfei is a little beautiful; but Weichen newly married Roufu Diji, and the two are in love with each other without care. Compared with Roufu Diji, Princess Xianfei is not much better. And in Weichen's opinion, the princess Xianfei's chest was full of resentment and disdainful. Weichen doesn't lack women, and he can't take her home to get angry.
"So, doesn't Aiqing want this Xianfei Lord?" Zhao Huan's straight eyes were full of incredible: No, I have three thousand beauces in the harem, and I still feel itchy when I see this Princess Xianfei. How could he abandon Princess Xianfei?
"Your Majesty likes it, just take it!" Chu Tianya didn't care.
"No, no, no!" Zhao Huan waved his hand in a hurry, "A gentleman doesn't take away people's love. How can I do such a thing!" It's just that this Princess Xianfei is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. If Aiqing Ruo retreats her, the face of the King of Xixia needs to be not good-looking. If she accepts her, she is not convinced and picky, and she is a little wronged. What's wrong with this?"
Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, "It's very simple - put it on the shelf!"
"Ah?" Zhao Huan was stunned, "What Aiqing means is that she should neither return nor accept it, but to keep the cold palace?"
"Weichen is poor, and the room in the royal palace is also crowded. Weichen doesn't plan to build a cold palace for her to live in." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother Your Majesty to arrange this matter."
"Uh...all right, all right!" Zhao Huan had to agree bravely and thought hard, "I will temporarily settle Princess Xianfei in Luoyang Palace and send a few maidservists to serve her sooner or later. There is no shortage of food and clothing, that's all we can do.
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Tianya bowed his hand and thanked him. He glanced at Princess Xianfei, who stood not far away like a Bodhisattva, with a face of indifference and superiority, and smiled indifferently.
After the banquet, the dragon boat landed, and Chu Tianya was ready to board the car and go back home. Wang Renzong hurriedly caught up and asked Chu Tianya, "Your Majesty, this Xianfei Lord..."
"My emperor has made arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it. As a prime minister, you don't focus on your children's feelings, and you'd better pay more attention to diplomatic relations and military affairs! If there is anything unclear, you can discuss it directly with Liu Ziyu. After Chu Tianya said that, he couldn't help but boarded the car and left.
Wang Renzong touched a soft nail and dared not say more. Back to Princess Xianfei, he didn't know how to answer, so he had to answer Chu Tianya's original words.
"Just right. I'm upset that I don't want to marry this unknown man!" Princess Xianfei said carelessly, "Sang Cheng, let's go back to Xixia!"
Wang Renzong cried on the spot, "Princess, what are you talking about? A woman from a commoner's house is like splashing water when she is married. How can the princess of a country around you come out and come back?
"He doesn't want me. I won't go back, so what?" Princess Xianfei said anly, "Is it possible that I still kneel at his feet shamelessly and beg him to want me?"
Wang Renzong was stunned by her for a long time, and nodded with a tight frown, "If necessary, the princess is indeed going to do this."
"Why!" Princess Xianfei was angry.
"It's just... he holds the life and death of Xixia!" Wang Renzong took a deep breath and said, "Princess, don't forget the purpose and responsibility of your trip. At this time, you should forget your identity as a princess, and even forget that you are a woman! Just like those soldiers who charged on the front line, they sacrificed their lives. Everything, for the death of the country!"
Princess Xianfei's face turned red angrily, and her silver teeth clenched and trembled gently. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, please ask the Prime Minister to send me to the Wei Palace!"
"Oh...Princess, I'm afraid it's up to Weichen." Wang Renzong whispered and bitterly, "People have to bow their heads under the eaves. When they met on the dragon boat, the princess's disdain and contempt obviously angered the king of Wei. Fortunately, the king of Wei is open-minded and focuses on the overall situation. Otherwise, he will not be able to send troops to Xixia today. Princess, now you are not in the palace of Xixia, but as an envoy of Xixia, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the country. You almost buried all this today, you know?
"I! ..." Princess Xianfei was afraid and annoyed, and she couldn't say a word in a hurry.
"Just now, Weichen also went to ask the king of Wei. He said that the Song Dynasty officials had made arrangements for you." Wang Renzong sighed and said, "Obviously, the king of Wei is not going to take you to the royal palace. He agreed to send troops to save Xixia, but it doesn't mean he accepted you. The implication is that he is not satisfied with the princess.
"How can that be!" Princess Xianfei finally got angry, "Am I not worthy of him?" Didn't you see today that his appearance is far worse than that of the general under his command? I swallowed my anger and came all the way to marry him, but he was not happy!"
"Princess, you are not young. Why do you judge people by their appearance?" Wang Renzong shook his head and sighed, "In a word... Weichen didn't have much to say. Just follow the arrangement of the emperor of the Song Dynasty and live in peace for the time being! In the future, you only need to remember that you are no longer you. You are the face of the Western Xia Dynasty in the Song Dynasty! If you show your face to the king of Wei, the king of Wei will dare to show his face to the State of Xixia!"
"..." Princess Xianfei was so angry that she was speechless for a long time. After all, she swallowed angrily and said, "I know!"
At this time, Zhao Huan's eunuch ran to Princess Xianfei's side, "Your Highness, Your Majesty invited the princess to stay in Luoyang Palace Xiangju."
"Luoyang Palace, Anju Hall?" Princess Xianfei was stunned, "What's that place?"
"Imperial Palace."
"I know it's a palace... I mean, what kind of palace is that?" Princess Xianfei asked.
"To the princess, it is a very quiet palace that few people will disturb. It is located in the northwest corner of the palace. There are only trees within a radius of 100 feet, and there is no other hall." The eunuch answered and waved to the four maidservant, "From now on, they will serve the princess's diet and living. If the princess needs it, she can mention it to them.
After saying that, the eunuch said a crime and actually went away.
Princess Xianfei was completely stunned. It is not difficult for her to hear from the eunuch's words that it is a very desolate and remote palace, which may be used to "detain" the palace women and concubines who have committed crimes. Looking at these four maidservants, the youngest is almost 40 years old. Princess Xianfei, who grew up in the palace, naturally understood that in the harem, the color of the maidservant is actually the face of the master. The four maidservists sent to her by the Palace of the Song Dynasty obviously looked down on her!
Princess Xianfei instantly understood a fact: she has been beaten into the cold palace by the King of Wei!
For a moment, she fell into an ice cellar, directly from her heart to her heels.
On the way back home, Roufu Diji seemed to be in a good mood, much more cheerful than before. She pulled Chu Tianya to chat all over the world. She fell down beside him and didn't want to leave for a moment.
"Wan, what makes you feel so good?" Chu Tianya couldn't help asking curiously.
"Nothing, just in a good mood!" Roufu Diji said with a smile, "Maybe... I finally found my home!" Maybe he went back to the palace today and met his brothers.
"To be honest."
"Hee hee!" Roufu Diji smiled cunningly for a while, "Do you really want to say it?"
"What do you think?"
"Okay..." Roufu Diji stuck out her tongue and made an innocent expression and said, "Because I saw you reject the invincible Princess Xianfei. I'm happy and relieved!"
"Oh?" Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing, "Why, do you think she hates it?"
"No!" Roufu Diji wrinkled her nose, "Do you know what she said to me in the dragon boat room?"
"What?"
"She should not know my identity or my relationship with you." Roufu Diji said, "At that time, she was talking to the men outside the window in the room. When it comes to you, I will say that you are not good-looking and not tall or powerful enough. I always praise Xue Yu how handsome and handsome she is. I was so angry at that time. If it hadn't been for the princess's identity and today's occasion, I really want to scold her!"
"Haha!" Chu Tianya laughed, "How are you going to scold?"
"I, I want to scold her - superficial! Childish! The rat's eyes are short-sighted!" Roufu Diji said and was a little angry, "This woman doesn't know what to do! The princess of a small country actually regards herself so highly! She didn't think that if you hadn't agreed to send troops to rescue, most of her Xixia would have destroyed the country! - Such a ignorant, short and frivolous woman is not worthy of you!"
"Wan, you told the truth." Chu Tianya laughed irrespeakably, "She is a little beautiful, but in my opinion, she is just in vain. Besides, what is her beauty in the Wei royal palace? Not to mention that the baby in my arms is more than a hundred times better than her!"
"You bad guy!" She was so happy that she bumped into Chu Tianya's arms and hugged him tightly around his waist, but she let out a "hee" snicker.
Chu Tianya stroked her fragrant shoulder with a smile and said indifferently, "Chu has a strange temper. For those who don't like me and don't know how to appreciate me, men and women, never welcome them.
"That Princess Xianfei is so stupid that she is hopeless. She seems to have forgotten that she should come to ask you and welcome you in every way." Roufu Diji said, " By the way, what are you going to do with her?"
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I'll ask someone to polish ** her, and I'll be your maidservant in the future. What do you think?"
"Ah?" Emperor Roufu was stunned, "Princess Xianfei, be my maidservant?"
"Yes." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "There is harmony and tranquility in Wei Wang's mansion. If she doesn't polish her thorns like that, it will ruin the atmosphere in the house. I don't care whether she is the princess of Xixia or Dongxia. When she comes to the Song Dynasty, I have to put down her stinky airs for me! - Otherwise, I will continue to grind it for slaves!"
