Chapter 850: King Loulan
In the days that followed, Xiao Ye got used to the days when Xu Qing left early and returned late every day.
He handles everything in the mission.
Xiao Ye thought that since Xu Qing was here this time, he had nothing to do with him, and he had the right to travel at public expense, but he didn't realize that, now that the envoy is not doing business, he goes to meet other princesses every day, and everything about the mission falls on Xiao Ye's head. .
Especially when Zhou Guo wanted to negotiate, Xiao Ye had to push back every time Zhou Guo wanted to talk, and he had pushed back three times in a row.
Now Zhou Guo thinks that the Chu State Mission is not here to negotiate, but to have a meal...
No, Brother Xu went out again today.
It's been like this for five days.
...
Mingyue Princess Mansion
Xu Qing was leaning against the bed, Li Mingyue was lying on the bed as usual, with her head resting on Xu Qing's arms, Xu Qing was feeding Li Mingyue and drinking medicine.
After several days, the wind and cold that Li Mingyue contracted has almost recovered, and today's medicine is the last meal.
Just when Xu Qing finished feeding the medicine and picked up a handkerchief to wipe off the residual medicine juice beside Li Mingyue's red lips, a maid's voice suddenly came from outside.
The inner house generally does not allow other men to come in. Even if the concierge has something to report, it can only be passed from the outer house to the door of the inner house, and then the maid enters the inner house to report.
The maid came outside the house and said, "Princess Qi, King Loulan invited the princess to the plum garden tomorrow to enjoy the plum blossoms."
Li Mingyue had just finished drinking the medicine at this time, and she was still in Xu Qing's arms, not wanting to wake up, so she naturally didn't want to go to admire the plum blossoms with others, and said, "I've been feeling cold recently, so it's inconvenient to go out."
The maid naturally understood what Li Mingyue meant, and responded, "Yes."
Those of them who are servants must know what the master means. The master's saying that he has a cold may be just an excuse, he just doesn't want to see the visitor.
And King Loulan was naturally the one the princess didn't want to see.
Li Mingyue in the room was covered with a quilt, and her two flawless white hands were placed outside the quilt, while Li Mingyue's hands were covered with Xu Qing's hands, holding Li Mingyue's slender hands tightly, Dispelled the coolness on Li Mingyue's slender hands.
Li Mingyue's eyes fell on Xu Qing's hands holding own, and she murmured, "Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, five days have passed."
Xu Qing said: "At least we still have thirteen days."
Li Mingyue nodded slightly when she heard Xu Qing's words: "Well, thirteen days."
After getting along with Xu Qing for a few days, Li Mingyue was no longer as shy as usual, but she still couldn't let go, and she still had a weak sense of submission when she spoke and acted.
She will never learn to be unceremonious and aggressive in front of Xu Qing like Su Qian, Xiao Ruxue and even Long Binger.
Li Mingyue is always like that, when you come, I will do my best, if you don't come, I will miss you silently, and never force anything.
When she was with Su Qian, Xu Qing was extremely passive, especially when Su Qian wanted to have a child. It can be said that Xu Qing at that time was extremely passive at night.
Being with Xiao Ruxue wasn't much better, so he was tied up to the mountain to pay homage.
Long Bing'er didn't need to sleep anymore, she just went straight to the wall, and forcibly grabbed Xu Qing's first kiss that day.
It was with Li Mingyue that Xu Qing got the long-lost initiative.
Li Mingyue would never take the initiative to take the relationship a step further, but when Xu Qing proposed to go further, Li Mingyue would not refuse, and being so unknown made Xu Qing's self-esteem as a man greatly satisfied.
In getting along with Li Mingyue, he always holds the initiative.

Outside Princess Moon's Mansion
King Loulan, who was in his prime, frowned slightly when he heard the words from the porter, but disappeared again.
Ever since he received the marriage gift from the Emperor Zhou, he wanted to see the beauty of this Princess Mingyue, but every time he invited the Princess Mingyue, he refused because of physical discomfort.
King Loulan had received news earlier that Princess Mingyue was not favored in fact, she was just a concubine princess, and there were almost zero rumors among the folks.
Of course, King Loulan also knew that the current Loulan was not qualified to marry the daughter of the Central Plains, and the daughter of the Central Plains would only be betrothed to the important ministers of the Central Plains, or used to intermarry among the three countries of the Central Plains to strengthen the relationship.
The only one who is qualified to marry the prostitute of the Zhou State is the Chu State, which even surrenders to the grassland.
Being able to marry the emperor's concubine princess shows that the state of Zhou attaches great importance to Loulan as a vassal state. Not naming some daughters of the clan as princesses shows that the state of Zhou still values Loulan. I remember that there are still some small countries in the Western Regions, the Central Plains At the beginning, they sent a few maids in the past to act as princesses for the marriage, and those small countries did not dare to have any objections, and they had to make offerings as if they were real princesses.
If Loulan can marry a real princess, she already has a lot of face.
But the problem is, it's a little too much for a concubine princess to be so big. Even if he is a vassal of Chu, he is also the king of the vassal, and he is equal to the king of Zhou in name. Maybe the power is more powerful than these The prince who doesn't even have the right to rule the fief is even more beautiful, but Princess Mingyue just doesn't see him.
Up to now, he doesn't know whether this Princess Mingyue is fat or thin, beautiful or ugly.
It was rumored that Princess Mingyue was weak since she was a child, but she didn't give her face when she went out for a walk, which really made Loulan King a little annoyed.
There are still thirteen days to get married, and at this time, is she still covered like a baby bump?
What does Princess Mingyue do all day long in the mansion?
King Loulan, who returned in vain, was rather unwilling to walk on the road. The attendant in black beside him said, "Your Majesty, calm down."
King Loulan gritted his teeth and said, "Calm down your anger? I don't even know whether Princess Mingyue is beautiful or ugly, fat or thin. Princess Mingyue is going to be my main concubine. If I marry back an ugly monster, what will be the prestige of my Loulan country?"
The attendant in black gave advice and said: "Your Majesty, I see that the guards at Princess Mingyue's Mansion are not very strict. Why don't you sneak in and find out."
King Loulan thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "In the Princess of the Central Plains' mansion, there are not many servant girls. If someone finds out, what face will I have?"
The attendant in black said: "My lord, this subordinate is willing to sneak in for the king to find out the truth."
King Loulan glanced at the attendant in black: "You?"
The attendant in black said: "Even if the subordinate is discovered, all the crimes will be borne by the subordinate, and it has nothing to do with the king."
After thinking about it for a while, King Loulan looked at the attendant in black and said, "Okay, then you can sneak into Princess Mingyue's mansion to find out the truth for this king, and see if Princess Mingyue is really ill or is she trying to play tricks on me."
The attendant in black said: "Your Majesty, go back to the post and wait for news from your subordinates."
King Loulan ordered again: "If the guards are tight, they will be withdrawn first."
The servant in black said respectfully; "Yes!"
