Chapter 323 Envoys come to Beijing!
Time flies like a white horse passing by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
The envoys from the frontier finally arrived in the capital.
However, when they entered Beijing, the palace gates had already been closed, and the news did not reach Bai Wutong in time.
By the time she learned about this, the envoys had already entered the palace.
Yunxiang came to report in a hurry, "Your Majesty, I heard that the barbarians really sent two princesses this time. However, they are not the daughters of the barbarian queen, but the daughters of the maid who was favored."
"There are two of them?" Bai Wutong sat up straight upon hearing this.
She originally thought there would be at most one person, but she didn't expect there would be one more person, which was really a bit unexpected.
"It is said that they are twin princesses!" Yunxiang added.
Bai Wutong's heart sank, "Do they look alike?"
"That's right. I heard that they look exactly the same, gorgeous, and dressed without any rules. After entering the palace, they walked around freely outside the palace without any hesitation. If someone looked at them a few more times, they would be very proud!"
Listening to Yunxiang's story, these two princesses are definitely not good people, and I'm afraid they will not be honest in the palace in the future.
"When does the palace banquet begin?"
Yunxiang replied, "It seems to start at noon tomorrow, but the news cannot be fully confirmed yet."
Are these two princesses going to become restless today?
However, the emperor's health has not yet recovered, and it will take at least two or three months before he can perform sexual activities.
Maybe before that, I can find a way to solve these two problems.
Wait, it is not necessary to completely eliminate them, as long as we can ensure that they cannot conceive a dragon heir.
Although Zhang Chengyan said that the sons of foreign races had impure blood and could not inherit the throne.
But more than ten years later, when these children grow up, it is unknown how the court situation will change and whether Zhang Chengyan can still hold power as firmly as he does now.
If the sons born to these foreign princesses have evil intentions and covet the throne, then Yunhe will be in danger!
Bai Wutong leaned back on the cushion, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.
She had just heard the news of the arrival of the two princesses, so she must not panic. Thinking too much would make it seem as if she was afraid first.
"Come here, help me change my clothes. I need to go to the Yangxin Palace."
After changing clothes, Bai Wutong came to the Yangxin Palace.
At this time, Zhang Chengyan was reviewing memorials at his desk. Seeing her coming, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Aren't you still in confinement after childbirth? Why are you out?"
"Doctor Ji said that my health has recovered better than expected. Also, I have been stuck in the house for a long time and I feel depressed. If this continues, I will probably feel depressed." Bai Wutong explained softly.
"Okay, then you can walk around a bit, but don't stay outside for too long."
Bai Wutong walked to Zhang Chengyan's side and asked, "I heard that the envoys from the border have arrived?"
"That's right." Zhang Chengyan stopped writing with the red brush in his hand and looked up at her. "I know what you want to say. Are you jealous after hearing that two barbarian princesses were sent from the border?"
"Your Majesty understands me best. When I heard that the two princesses were extremely beautiful and twins, I was very worried. Your Majesty, you love me the most, right?"
Bai Wutong pouted slightly, looking cute and adorable, not like a mother of four children at all.
"Of course, you are my favorite now. No matter how beautiful they are, they are just barbarians. How can they compare with you, let alone surpass you."
The welcoming banquet for foreign envoys was finally scheduled for noon the next day.
Bai Wutong stated that she had already finished her confinement, so of course she had to attend the party, and she also insisted on bringing several of her children with her to the banquet.
The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Bai Wutong got up early and dressed up carefully.
In the bronze mirror, her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, her lips are lightly red, and the luxurious palace dress makes her look even more graceful.
After everything was ready and she estimated that it was almost time, she walked towards the hall where the banquet was held.
At this time, many ministers had arrived outside the hall. They were wearing court robes and talking in low voices in twos and threes.
Bai Wutong did not show up immediately, but stayed in the inner room for a while.
Soon, Zhang Chengyan also arrived. Seeing that Bai Wutong was ready, he asked with concern, "Wutong, if you are still feeling unwell, you don't have to force yourself to participate."
Bai Wutong smiled sweetly and responded softly, "Your Majesty, I have already finished my confinement. Such a lively banquet is good for my health. I must participate."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Zhang Chengyan said no more.
As the banquet was about to start, Bai Wutong was about to leave, but Wang Decai hurriedly stopped her, "Your Majesty, the queen's position is vacant now. As the imperial concubine, you have the highest status. Please enter with the emperor later."
Bai Wutong nodded slightly, "Thank you for reminding me, Eunuch Wang. Thank you very much."
"Your Highness is too polite. This is all my duty."
After waiting for a while, Zhang Chengyan straightened his clothes and stepped out with great dignity.
Bai Wutong followed with graceful steps, and the two of them walked into the hall side by side.
"Long live the emperor!"
"May the Royal Concubine be blessed with good health!"
All the civil and military officials in the court and the harem knelt on the ground and saluted, shouting in unison and loudly.
"Everyone, please stand up." Zhang Chengyan took Bai Wutong's hand and walked towards the main seat together.
Although Bai Wutong was a noble concubine, she was sitting in the position that originally belonged to the queen.
Of the four children, only Yunhe came with the banquet, while the rest were left in Tishun Hall by Zhang Chengyan.
After sitting down, Bai Wutong looked towards the hall and finally saw the legendary barbarian envoy.
It turns out that they came from the Turkic country, and their leader was called the king.
The envoys who came this time were two tall and thin men with respectful expressions. They were followed by a group of followers, but there was no sign of the two princesses in the rumors.
Bai Wutong had a perfect smile on his face as he looked at everything quietly.
When the two envoys saw that the emperor had taken his seat, they hurried forward and knelt down to pay their respects. Their attitude was extremely humble, without any sign of resistance.
"Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The envoy stood up to express his gratitude and winked at the entourage behind him.
The attendants immediately carried up beautifully decorated boxes.
The leading envoy said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Darong, our Turkic king has long admired your majesty's prestige and virtue, and has specially ordered us to come to pay tribute and present our Turkic rare treasures to show the sincerity of our two countries' everlasting friendship!"
