Chapter 573: I promised you that I wouldn’t hurt you, Uncle
When the first snow of winter came, the news that Emperor Xuan Jing of Dai Viet had established a queen spread throughout the world.
Letters of congratulations came from various countries.
On the day of the grand ceremony, envoys from various countries came.
Today's Dai Viet is no longer the Dai Viet of the past.
Even though it is still a medium-sized country on the surface, it already has a strong voice.
Under the current circumstances, except for Nam Sang, no country is unwilling to be on good terms with Dai Viet.
Even on Nan Sang's side, Yan Changkong handed over a letter to congratulate her.
However, beneath the surface of seemingly calm diplomatic relations, there are still invisible undercurrents.
The longer Nan Sang remains silent, the bigger and more dangerous his plans will become.
The countries dare not take it lightly.
The feeling of waiting for a poisonous snake to come out of its hole and spit out its venom is extremely torturous.
Time flies.
The spring sowing in the land of exile is over, followed by the ceremony of Wei Li's enthronement as queen.
Since the beginning of March, envoys from various countries have been arriving in Changjing, making it very lively.
The entire Changjing was filled with a strong festive atmosphere.
The emperor is going to appoint a queen. After so many years of silence, the Dai Viet royal family can finally have more branches and branches.
The court officials were happy, and the people were happy too.
Teahouses and restaurants in Beijing are experiencing another peak in business.
"The last time our Great Yue was this lively was seven years ago, during the coronation ceremony of the current emperor, right?"
"Yes, seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and we have finally waited for the Emperor to establish a queen."
"Grand Tutor Gan has served three dynasties and has a rich family background. It is only natural that the eldest granddaughter of the Gan family would be chosen."
"I heard that this ceremony not only crowned the Empress, but also selected the Four Noble, Virtuous and Virtuous Consorts! And it was Elder Gan who personally advised on this!"
"It's no wonder Elder Gan is anxious. Elder Gan is devoted to his king and country, and naturally hopes for the prosperity of the royal family. Shouldn't he also fill his harem?"
"This is a grand event for Great Viet! Envoys from various countries have already arrived at the posthouse south of the city, eager to congratulate our emperor! Compared to the last grand event, the sincerity of each country this time is far greater!"
"Of course, Dai Viet is no longer what it used to be! If Dai Viet didn't exist, there would still be wars going on abroad! Who would dare to look down on our country like they did before?"
In the lobby of the First Teahouse, the storyteller was telling stories in a rhythmic manner, while the tea drinkers were immersed in discussing state affairs, without disturbing each other and enjoying the fun together.
In the corridor on the third floor, several people leaned on the railing, looking at the crowded crowd below with great interest.
The old man was at the end of the line, looking down from a high vantage point. He always felt that this scene was familiar, as if he had stood in this place before and listened to the excitement.
"Baby, has grandpa been here before? Why does it look so familiar?" The old man scratched his beard.
Seeing this, Su Wu immediately stopped him in a low voice, "Grandpa Du, stop scratching! Your beard will fall off if you scratch it again!"
"The old man said it wouldn't stick to me, but he insisted on putting it on me! These three whiskers are making me itch all over!"
"There are so many people in Changjing, and if you insist on coming along, why don't you dress up? It would be bad if someone recognized you! You promised to change your clothes before leaving, and you can't go back on your word!"
The younger ones were giving him instructions.
The old man Du had a gloomy face and couldn't help but touch his forehead again.
Smooth and smooth.
His messy hair was combed up and a silver crown was put on his head, which made him feel cold.
"Grandpa has never looked so neat in his life. He has a brocade robe and a silver crown. He looks like a gentleman. Does he look like a wealthy man?"
Tian Bao was beside him, wearing a green schoolboy uniform and a square scarf tied around her black hair. She looked like a pretty schoolboy. She comforted the old man, "It doesn't matter whether I look like Grandpa Du or not. As long as I don't look like Grandpa Du, that's fine."
Poison old man, "..."
Bai Yu chuckled softly, winking at the old man. His folding fan obscured half his face as he whispered, "Grandpa Du, those who achieve great things don't pay attention to small details. You're a seasoned veteran, so how can you handle this little trick? It's a piece of cake, isn't it?"
The old man's gloomy face brightened up, he straightened his back, and the aura of a master suddenly appeared, "You're right, it's no big deal!"
He leaned down and called out, "Boss, all the tea and snacks in the teahouse are outsourced today! Just for fun! Serve the best tea to all the tea drinkers. Let's all enjoy the grand occasion together!"
The younger generation was silent for a moment and then laughed out loud.
This time when they came to Changjing, in order to prevent the news of Tianbao's survival from leaking out, the group disguised themselves.
Pretend to be a nouveau riche who has come to Beijing with his whole family to join in the fun.
Grandpa Du just spent a ton of money, acting like a nouveau riche, no need to pretend anymore.
…
In a corner of the first-floor lobby hidden by the corridor, a group of people occupied a tea table, and their appearance was clearly from outsiders.
They have high eyebrows, deep eyes, brown curly hair, burly figures and a strong and tough air.
As the tea drinkers drank tea and chatted enthusiastically, their eyes occasionally swept across this table. Although they were a little surprised by the appearance of these people, they didn't take it seriously.
During the Dai Viet grand ceremony, all the countries sent envoys to offer congratulations, and the people at this table must be part of the envoys.
When those people heard the old man upstairs generously inviting them to tea, they looked up and quickly looked away.
"The grand ceremony is in eight days. Keep a close eye on them over the next few days. They will definitely come." One of them said in a low voice.
"Emperor Xuan Jing visited the land of exile twice last year. As the rumors say, he has a close relationship with the people there. But that person is an expert in disguise. We've been waiting here for so long, and perhaps they've already disguised themselves and entered the capital."
"We will show up on the day of the grand ceremony. Please be patient and remember the purpose of our trip. Don't cause any trouble."
After a few quick words, they didn't speak again and sat in the teahouse for a long time, as if they really came there to drink tea and listen to books.
Imperial Palace.
The ceremony is about to begin.
All departments in the palace were busy but orderly, repeatedly checking and confirming every step and every item needed, leaving no room for mistakes.
"...The Luanfeng Hall has also been repaired in an expedited manner. Would the Emperor like to go over and take a look for himself?" In the imperial study, Zi Yi closed the Ministry of Rites booklet and asked the Emperor who was sitting behind the desk.
Wei Li shook his head. "Let the palace keep an eye on these matters. It's just one residence. Once the Queen moves in, if she finds anything she's not satisfied with, she can make adjustments."
After a pause, he asked, "Grandpa Du and Tianbao have already been in Beijing for two days, why don't they want to come to the palace?"
Mentioning these people, Zi Yi's stern face softened a bit, revealing a faint smile. "This time they came here disguised as nouveau riche. Du Lao's words and deeds are frivolous, but he is still very conspicuous. Wherever he appears, he always attracts a lot of attention... Bai Yu said it's not appropriate to enter the palace at this time."
"That kid is clearly still holding a grudge and refuses to bring Tianbao along."
"Who told you to provoke him?"
Wei Li rubbed his brows and said helplessly, "Uncle Zi Yi, he will have a very good life in the future, but I am going to be in dire straits. Can you please stop hurting me?"
Zi Yi put away her smile and slowly shifted her gaze to the side. "It's indeed a difficult situation. One queen and four concubines is only temporary. With Elder Gan and a group of loyal ministers here, I think the emperor's empty harem will be filled up in no time."
Wei Li, "..."
I promised not to hurt you, uncle.
