Chapter 459 Hello, hey, hey! I'm the Queen Mother. Who are you?
The last time the Barbarian King of the Western Regions was not in his right mind and dared to assassinate Shi Li, the Princess of the Western Regions confessed everything after the assassination attempt failed.
When the news reached the Western Regions, the Barbarian King felt very bad.
He had previously taken it for granted that, since the ruler of Xian Dynasty was weak and his ministers were strong, he could get rid of the empress dowager, sow discord between the ruler and his ministers, and then take over the vast territory of Xian Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Afterwards, I gradually felt that something was wrong.
He seemed to be taking things too simply.
But it was too late to say anything now. Upon hearing the news from the imperial capital that Qi Changchuan was furious and was preparing to lead his troops to conquer the Western Regions personally, the Barbarian King only regretted that he could not find a cave to hide in.
When he was at a loss, his favorite dancer offered a plan.
After hearing this, the Barbarian King readily accepted it.
Later, an arrangement was made for the Crown Prince of the Western Regions to go to the imperial capital in person as a hostage.
The Prince of the Western Regions has such a father, which can only be described as "unlucky".
In the end, the unfortunate prince had no choice but to travel thousands of miles to the imperial capital with a heavy apology.
In early spring in March, the imperial capital is in full bloom and children are everywhere flying kites in the east wind.
In the clear blue sky, kites are flying in the wind.
Shi Li walked out of Chengyang Palace, stood in the corridor and looked up at the sky.
Today's lunch included a dish of stewed pork elbow that was particularly tender and tasty. She ate a little too much and had to go out for a walk, hoping to digest the excess pork elbow in her stomach as quickly as possible.
In the clear blue sky, there were a few small spring swallow kites floating in the air. A palace maid from an unknown palace was quietly flying a kite.
The colorful kites flying freely in the sky are really pleasing to the eye.
Xin Tang was watching Shi Li from the side, mistakenly thinking that she wanted to let go too.
"I'm going to get a kite for you. What style do you like?"
"No, no, it's too tiring to put this thing away. I'll just watch it."
Shi Li quickly refused, touched her stomach which had not yet been fully digested, and continued to look up at the kite flying in the sky.
"These kites are beautiful, but they are a little small and there are not many styles."
In the city where Shi Li was born, several grand kite festivals are held every spring.
At that time, no matter what kind of kite it was, it could be seen in the sky.
When she was young, Shi Li would always choose a rooftop with a good view, bring a bunch of snacks, and sit down to enjoy the view all day long.
By the way, there seemed to be someone watching the kites with her. Who was it?
Shi Li thought for a long time but couldn't remember who that person was. Instead, his head hurt a little, so he raised his hand and knocked it hard.
As a result, the barrage of comments thought something was wrong with her.
[The anchor finally went crazy? ]
[Host, don't be like this. You managed to survive even though you were dressed as a eunuch last time. Now you've become the queen mother. What else is there to worry about? ]
[Yes, yes, yes! You still have Qi Changchuan waiting for you! ]
Shi Li: Thank you so much!
The barrage of comments always likes to mess with her.
Shi Li sighed and continued walking along the corridor, slowly digesting the full pork elbow in her stomach.
Three steps behind her, Xin Tang turned his head to look at the sky with a thoughtful expression.
A little later, news came that the Prince of the Western Regions had arrived in the imperial capital.
It was already late today, so Zhou Chenghao arranged for the man to stay outside the palace and asked him to come into the palace tomorrow to apologize.
However, Zhou Chenghao did not hesitate to send the apology gift he brought from the Western Regions all the way to Chengyang Palace at the first opportunity.
After accepting tributes so repeatedly, Shi Li felt that the private treasury of Chengyang Palace was no longer big enough.
Otherwise, why not talk to Zhou Chenghao and borrow his private vault for a while?
Shi Li looked at the thick gift list with a little worry, and her eyes fell on the word "honeydew melon".
After not having eaten honeydew melon cakes for many days, she felt like she was back to normal.
……
At dusk, the door of the study was knocked respectfully.
"Enter."
Qi Changchuan put down the wolf hair brush and looked towards the door, with an inexplicable expectation in his eyes.
