Wei Muri's ears were groggy and he was shocked.
The Western Xia Kingdom was founded not long ago, and many aspects still retained their previous customs, such as love between men and women.
As long as young men and women are attracted to each other, it is common for them to express their feelings immediately and stay out all night.
However, with the cultural exchanges with the Great Zhou, marriage by transaction became popular in Western Xia, especially among the aristocracy, who also began to pay attention to betrothal gifts and dowries.
The higher the position, the more they like complicated rituals.
Wei Muri has a naturally romantic ear and a soft personality. Her heart is full of her young lover, so naturally she would not think badly of him.
But after listening to Su Yunyan's analysis, this originally pure love was covered with a layer of dust, which made it inexplicably hard to swallow.
Wei Muer didn't know how she walked out of the palace. Her mind was in a mess. Sometimes she thought of Li Yuanhao's handsome face, and sometimes she thought of Su Yunyan's wise eyes.
"What's wrong? Shit ears?"
The abnormality of Wei Muri's ears naturally attracted the attention of Wei Mu's family.
Wei Muri frowned and repeated Su Yunyan's words.
"Humph, Han people are full of tricks. She is trying to sow discord between you and Li Yuanhao."
Wei Mu Ri's ears flickered and his eyes flashed, and he asked curiously: "Is everything she said false?"
Wei Mu's father touched Ri'er's head and said lovingly, "It's true. I've been fed up with it for a long time. It's obviously Li Yuanhao who needs you, but he puts on airs and lets you rush to him. Now you're even having the nerve to play two girls at the same time."
How can the girl from the Wei Mu family be compared with the only daughter of Duke Yun?
If they all married Li Yuanhao, the one who would be wronged in the end would definitely be their own silly girl.
With the Wei Mu twins, the Wei Mu family can at least ensure prosperity and wealth for two generations.
Li Yuanhao was different. Although he was the top figure among the third generation, everything would change as long as he did not reach that position.
Especially since Wei Mu Shuangyang has more than one son, he wants to marry Wei Mu Ri Erduo in order to gain the support of the Wei Mu family.
The Wei Mu family was originally happy to strengthen the relationship and make it more stable, but Li Yuanhao's recent flattery of Su Yunyan really irritated the Wei Mu family.
Wei Muri's ears drooped and his eyebrows drooped, with tears welling up in his eyes.
The reality is so harsh that it immediately shattered the girl’s beautiful fantasy.
Beautiful love is the result of deliberate planning and acting by one party.
Wei Mu Ri Erduo doesn't want to see Li Yuanhao again in the short term. My lover hurts my heart, so I'd better stay with my good sister Su Niangzi.
…
While Su Yunyan was trying her best to sow discord between the Wei Mu family and Li Yuanhao, Mei Tang and his group arrived in Xiazhou smoothly.
Not far from Xiazhou is Tongwan City.
This rectangular city has a circumference of about 4,700 meters, and a wall separates the east and west cities.
The East City is where the government offices are concentrated, and the West City is the imperial city. In the center of the West City there is a 19-meter-high platform, the Yong'an Platform, where Haolian Bobo handled state affairs.
The walls of Tongwan City are all made of rammed earth.
The blue sky and white clouds, the green grass and the majestic white city stand together to form a beautiful painting.
No matter how many times he comes here, Battan Duluhai can't help but admire the beauty of Tongwan City: "I heard that Xingqing Prefecture is bigger and more beautiful than Tongwan City. I really want to go there sooner."
Yeli Wangrong stood at the base of the wall and looked up at the towering city wall. This was the power center of Western Xia, where Li Jiqian, the ruler of Western Xia, resided.
"Let's rest here for a few days first." Mei Tang planned to inquire about the political situation in Western Xia.
Li Jiqian detained the eldest lady for no reason, there must be some ulterior motive. Perhaps I can find some clues.
Batan Duluhai and his brothers sent Meitang to Xiazhou. Meitang was not a stingy person, so he naturally provided for their food, clothing, housing and transportation here.
Battan Duluhai was embarrassed. Before he could refuse, Meitang blocked him: "Aren't you going to buy a gift for Ma Juzi? You must spend a few days shopping."
Battan Duluhai had no choice but to accept it with a smile.
However, Yeli Wangrong raised his eyebrows. His employer was eager to go to Xingqing Prefecture, but ended up having to stay in Tongwan City for a few days?
What is there in Tongwan City that can attract them?
Yeli Wangrong regarded Meitang as a good brother, and there should be no secrets between brothers, so he asked directly.
"Aren't we going to Xingqing Mansion to look for someone?"
After spending these days together, Mei Tang realized that Yeli Wangrong was a capable man who valued his promises, so he simply leaked some information to him.
"Yes, our people have encountered some troubles in Xingqing Prefecture. I want to try to see if I can find a way out in Tongwan City."
Yeli Wangrong understood and volunteered to lead them to find a way: "You are Han Chinese, I am afraid you can't get any important information. I have a relative who is a minor official in Tongwan City, I will take you there."
Thanks to this kind of kinship, Mei Tang learned a lot of information.
For example, Li Jiqian was in Tongwan City, but Li Deming and Li Yuanhao's families were in Xingqing Prefecture.
Currently, the person accompanying Li Jiqian is Princess Ronghua, and her husband Jiang Tangwen often appears in front of Li Jiqian.
There is a rumor that Li Yuanhao will marry into the Wei Mu family.
"Mrs. Su from the Duke of Yun's family? I'm not too sure about that." Yeli Wangrong's relatives were of too low a rank to have access to many secrets.
Mei Tang sighed, knowing that there was no need to stay in Tongwan any longer, and decided to set off for Xingqing Prefecture the next day.
Xingqing Prefecture was built in the Yellow River Basin. Unfortunately, you cannot take a boat from Tongwan City to Xingqing Prefecture, otherwise the speed would be faster.
Mei Tang was eager to find the people, so he prepared gifts for Ma Juzi and Batan Duluhai's family, and then they separated.
Meitang travels west, and Battanduluhai travels east.
Holding a Hun Tuo filled with gifts from Mei Tang, Batantu Luhai and his brothers were all smiles.
"Mei Lang is so polite. I didn't want to accept it, but you forced it on me."
"Haha, what a generous Han Chinese. If I have the chance, I really want to go to Yunzhou to take a look. I think it's a great place."
"Hey, Battan Duluhai, the colt must be waiting anxiously, let's speed up."
With a roar, Hun Tuo, returning home, was like an arrow shot from a bow, breaking through the white waves.
Little did they know that their home and family members were long gone.
The further west you go, the more wind and sand there are.
The spring breeze has passed through the Helan Mountains. Thousands of trees are vying for green, the flowers are gorgeous, the water is white, the sand is cold and shallow, the grass is green, and the wind is as bright as the sky and the sun is as silver.
Running day and night, exhausted by the wind.
Mei Tang and his group finally arrived at Xingqing Prefecture.
Xingqing Prefecture has not been completed yet, but in terms of scale, it is much larger than Tongwan City.
This is one of Li Yuanhao's greatest political achievements, and it shows his ambition.
This was also Yeli Wangrong's first time in Xingqing Prefecture. As one of the agreements, he planned to take Meitang and others to visit Yeli Yuqi, his brother and brother-in-law, who was currently a small leader under Li Yuanhao.
Yeli Yuqi gave Yeli Wangrong a lot of face and invited Meitang and others to dine at Jiuxianlou, the largest restaurant in Xingqing Prefecture.
Meitang cheered up and went to the banquet. As soon as he entered the Jiuxian Tower, he was attracted by a painting.
