Chapter 28 one

Salai City. Batu paid close attention to the results of the Khan election meeting. He knew that the kings would choose one of the descendants of Ogedai Khan to succeed Khan.Although deep down in his heart, he knew that no matter how young Shi Liemen was, or Guiyou, the eldest son of the Great Khan, they were definitely not suitable candidates for successor.However, limited by the oath he made in front of Wo Kuotai Khan, he didn't know what choice to make for a while, so he had to wait and see. Unsurprisingly, most of the princes and nobles were dissatisfied with the successor appointed by Wokuotai Khan, and Queen Naimazhen was in the way. The Khan election conference did not achieve any results.The kings decided to let Empress Naimazhen supervise the country for the time being, and wait until next year to hold the Kuliltai Assembly again.

Urduo and Xiban returned to the city of Sarai in the summer and autumn of the following year.Accompanying them were Nuo Min, Bai Ling, and Qi Nilansa. Orduo told Nuo Min to visit his uncle and aunt first, and he asked Nuo Min to tell Batu that after he and Xiban had arranged a banquet for the evening, everyone would meet at the banquet.Erduo did this not only to let Nuo Min get acquainted with Queen Bing Ji first, but also to surprise his second brother Batu. Zini Lanza accompanied Nuo Min to the Khan Palace. Taking advantage of Batu's focus on his niece, Tsiniranza quietly withdrew from the palace.He stood in front of the palace gate for a long time, trying to calm down his heart that was like a wave.If someone saw him at this time, they would definitely see his strange expression.It is not that he has not imagined the scene of meeting that person, and he has warned himself countless times to be calm and calm, but at that moment just now, when he saw that person for the first time, he suddenly found that all his previous preparations were not in place Useless, his eye sockets were sore, his cheeks were hot, and a heart beat as if it was going to pop out of his throat.If it wasn't for that person not paying attention to him at all, he might really lose his composure.

Fortunately, he still has a chance to avoid it, and he still has a chance to straighten out his expression. Nuo Min, who is seventeen years old, is small and exquisite, pink and delicate, as delicate and lovely as a girl from the south of the Yangtze River.Her personality is lively and cheerful, simple and transparent, and her mother, Princess Weixuan, is already the only female general in her husband's army at her age. Nuo Min didn't know that she was born. After seeing the ceremony, she ran to Batu and Bingji and sat between them. Bing Ji took Nuo Min's hand affectionately.Nuo Min turned her head slightly, stared at Bing Ji for a moment, and smiled brightly: "Aunt Queen, why do you look so good-looking?"

Bing Ji smiled and pinched Nuo Min's nose: "You are pretty too!" "Really? But I think my forehead is too big. Also, the Queen's aunt's eyes are like gems, bright and can see my shadow. I can't do it anymore. My eyes are a bit small, and they don't look like Auntie's so smart. Am I right, Uncle?" Batu just laughed, but didn't answer. "You really know how to flatter people! With such a sweet little mouth, who do you want?" "It's definitely not following my dad. His mouth is so stupid. My younger brother Ashu didn't follow him either. Eji said that Ashu is like an uncle, and he will definitely be promising in the future."

"I haven't seen Ah Shu for many years, he must have grown up a lot, right?" "Well, he is sixteen years old. These years, he often went out with my father and Er Ji, and even my father said that his brain is very easy to use. And, don't look at his young age, he has won many battles What about it?" Nuo Min introduced her younger brother with all her heart, her pride was beyond words. Batu sighed: "The old general Subutai's family has been a family of two generations of military geniuses. Now there are successors. It is really my luck in Mongolia."

Nuo Min didn't know at the time that her mother, Princess Weixuan, found out that she was pregnant after she left. The pregnancy of this child was a little unexpected, and she suffered a lot for it.The next year, the child was born, and Wu Lianghetai's middle-aged daughter was overjoyed. He loved this daughter who fell from the sky like a treasure. He named his daughter Qingfeng. Whenever he was free, he would hug her and play with her. Train her to be a female general.As for Nuo Min and A Shu, he never seems to have such a carefree mood. Princess Weixuan would occasionally complain about his partiality, but he ignored it and enjoyed it.Later, Qingfeng met Kublai Khan's sons and eventually became a princess.Of course, this is something.

Bing Ji asked softly: "This time, why don't you let Ashu come with you?" "He is now Prince Kublai Khan's guardian. Because the prince likes my younger brother, my father asked my brother to follow the prince and inherit the teachings." "Kublai Khan is..." "He is the fourth son of my fourth uncle Tuo Lei, and also Meng Ge's younger brother. Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, Xu Liewu, Ali Bu Ge, they are all born to my fourth aunt Mrs. Su Ru, Meng Ge, are you I'm familiar with it, my fourth aunt is good at teaching her children, and her four sons are not ordinary people."

"Yes, my father and Erji also said the same thing as my uncle. However, among all the princes, my father admires Lord Kublai Khan the most. He said that Lord Kublai Khan is a dragon and a phoenix among men." "Listening to you, I want to see him." "There will be a chance." Batu shook Bing Ji's hand. "By the way, uncle, aunt, I almost forgot to tell you that this time I came, Abba and Erji asked me to bring you many gifts, each of which was selected by Erji. " "Your father and Eji really bothered. Thank them, and thank you." "Nuomin, tell uncle, have your father and Erji been stationed in Sichuan all these years?"

"That's right. After Grandpa Khan died of illness, we went back to Mongolia with Prince Kuoduan for half a year. Later, Abba and Erji went back to Sichuan." In the first month of 1234, the Mongolian and Song allied forces captured Caizhou, and the Kingdom of Jin perished. The Mongolian and Song courts divided Henan equally according to the agreement.Afterwards, Meng and Song respectively withdrew their troops. The withdrawal of the Mongolian army made the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty feel that they had an opportunity.Some courtiers suggested to Emperor Song (that is, Song Lizong) that since Mongolia retreated northward, the defenses in Bianjing and Luoyang would be empty. It is better to take the opportunity to recover the three capitals (Bianjing, Luoyang, Shangqiu) and expand the territory and influence.Most courtiers expressed their opposition, fearing that a light war with Mongolia would lead to the destruction of the country.Emperor Song devoted himself to using troops.

Due to the unpreparedness of the Mongolian side, the Southern Song army quickly captured Bianjing and Luoyang.Wo Kuotai Khan learned of the Southern Song Dynasty's occupation of Henan in Mongolia, and immediately sent a large army to retake the second city.The Song army in Luoyang collapsed at the first touch, and countless soldiers fell into Luoshui and drowned on the way to escape.There was no food in Bianjing, and the imperial court was repeatedly urged to transport food but it took a long time. The Mongolian army flooded the city with water from the Yellow River.So far, the Southern Song Dynasty's attempts to recover the three capitals have all failed, and they have to tighten their forces and switch from offense to defense.

But during the reign of Wokuotai Khan, the iron hooves of the Mongol Empire always set foot on the west, and there were only some small-scale wars against the Southern Song Dynasty.After the death of Wokuotai Khan, Mongolia was busy with the battle for the position of Khan, and even less cared about the demise of the Song Dynasty and the unification of the country. These objectively created prerequisites for the Song Dynasty to strengthen its armaments, control obstacles, and prevent the Mongolian army from going south. The coach of the Sichuan theater is Kuoduan, the second son of Wokuotai Khan.With Wulianghetai as the pioneer, Kuoduan gradually established a strategic base in Shu to control Sichuan after years of war.After Wokuotai Khan died of illness, Wu Lianghetai returned to Mongolia to mourn, and returned to Sichuan half a year later.Batu knew about these situations through the battle reports between the Khanates. He only wanted to know the recent situation of his relatives whom he missed. "You have lived in Mongolia for half a year, whose camp have you been in?" "Grandma. Grandma Su Ru." "So, you must have seen Xiumei and Sister Xuexue often?" "Well. Uncle, you have been fighting all these years. You must not know that sister Xiumei married Prince Xu Liewu, and their children are two years old. The two of them live happily, after all, they grew up together Sister Xiumei was very accurate about Prince Xu Liewu's temper. Sister Xuexue was not as lucky as Sister Xiumei. I heard from grandma that Sister Xuexue was originally betrothed to the son of the leader of Sahamu, but the two of them Before the people had time to get married, the son of the leader of Sahamu was killed in a battle with Bianjing in the Southern Song Dynasty. When the bad news came, sister Xuexue told her grandma that she would stay by her side and serve her all her life. Later, she didn’t know What's going on, Prince Guiyou's son Hucha fell in love with sister Xuexue and insisted on marrying her. Aunt Hai Lost asked Empress Naimazhen to propose marriage to Grandma Su Ru. Empress Naimazhen proposed many times, Lord Guiyou I also went to find my grandma in person. Grandma really had no choice. When asked about sister Xuexue’s wishes, sister Xuexue didn’t want to embarrass grandma, so she agreed. However, Hucha is still young and will only get married next year. When we talked about this incident, we all said it was very funny, where Hucha wanted to marry a wife, it was clear that he wanted to marry a nanny to take care of him at home." Bing Ji heard Nuo Min come up with a string of names after a while, and explained the matter quite clearly in a few words, so she couldn't help laughing: "This child is not only sweet-mouthed, but also very eloquent." Batu smiled and nodded. "Is Grandma Su Ru okay?" "Okay. Grandpa Tuolei passed away early, and she has to make decisions on major and minor matters in the tribe. Even Grandpa Da Khan respects her very much, and often discusses many important issues with her. Now that Prince Mengge is back, grandma will Handed over the power of the tribe to him. Once, I heard Abba and Eji talk about grandma, saying that grandma is the most caring and intelligent woman in the world." Bing Ji had heard about Madam Su Ru more than once. Although she had never met her, she admired her very much in her heart.Listening to Nuo Min talking about it now, there is a sense of identity. Bing Ji looked at the sky outside the window, turned around and said to Batu: "Khan, you and Nuo Min chat first, I'll go and see the child. If the child wakes up, I'll bring him here." "Great. Is it brother or sister? How old is it?" "It's your younger brother. It's almost his first birthday." Bing Ji patted Nuo Min's face lovingly, got up and left. Batu suddenly remembered the young man who came with Nuo Min: "The young man just now was..." "His name is Zinilansa, and he is my bodyguard." Nuo Min replied readily. "Is he also in your father's army?" "Well. He was taken in by my father when he was stationed in Sichuan three years ago. At that time, I thought the barracks was too boring. One day I went to play in the mountains without telling my father and Eji, but was bitten by a poisonous snake. Fortunately, Qi Nilansa passed by and rescued me. Abba admired him very much, so he left him in the barracks. Ziniranza didn’t talk much, but he was very good at martial arts. Abba taught him horseback riding, archery, wrestling, and said that he was good at these aspects He is simply a genius, and he knows everything. When Abba returned to Mongolia to express condolences, he left Tsinilansa to assist in guarding Sichuan. He did not go to Mongolia with us. Later, Abba planned to send me to visit my uncle and aunt. , I begged my father to come together. My father was worried about me, and I had already meant this, so I agreed." "Where's his family? Are they in Sichuan?" "When he was in Sichuan, his Eji passed away. He also had a sister who came with us. However, she refused to come to the palace and lived in the post house temporarily. She said, wait until we settle down When we come down, let Ziniranza go out and inquire, see if he can rent or buy a house in the city, even if it is a small one, he will have his own home." "So, she and Zinilanza are planning to settle down in Sarai City?" "I didn't think about it. Tsiniranza and his sister are a little queer in everything they do, but they're really nice people." "What does their father do?" "No idea. They never mention it either." "Really? What about you? How long are you going to stay with uncle?" "Abba and Erji mean that they want me to stay in Sarai City for a while longer and stay by your side to take care of you for them. But..." "But what?" "I don't know how long Zinilansa is willing to stay in Sale..." Nuo Min had a simple mind, and said whatever she thought in her heart. Batu looked down at Nuo Min seriously: "Do you like Zini Lanza?" "He always treats me like a child, and doesn't care about me at all." Nuo Min sighed, then smiled again, "Whatever, I will pester him anyway. Worry him for the rest of his life, what will he do?" Batu was amused by Nuo Min's firm tone. "Really? Uncle needs to pay attention to this young man. Since you are here with Uncle, you have to check on your marriage. If Ziniranza is really as good as you said, Uncle can do it for you." This Lord." "Really? Uncle, can you count on what you say?" "Of course it counts. Since this Ziniranza will be my niece and son-in-law sooner or later, he will not be an outsider. Why don't I send someone to help his sister find a place in the city." "Oh, forget it, I don't think the two of them will accept it. However, when Miss Bailing stays, I can take you to play chess with her. Miss Bailing can play chess very well." "My sister's name is Bailing?" "Hmm. It sounds nice, doesn't it?" "Yeah, it sounds good. Let's just leave it at that. For my precious niece, when I can be used later, I will definitely condescend once." "Thank you uncle." Batu has always been a man of his word.Although the complex affairs of the Khanate involved a lot of his energy, but he heard that Bailing really bought a house outside the city to live in, so he still found time to visit Bailing's hut with Nuo Min. He didn't tell Bing Ji about this.It's not that I deliberately concealed it, but I didn't think it was necessary.During the recent relationship, he had a good impression of Zini Lanza, and he also acquiesced in his status as the future niece and son-in-law. Now that he has this relationship, he really wants to do his best to provide some help to Zini Lanza's sister , this is a piece of cake for him.As for playing chess, it was just an excuse. Bailing's hut was unlocked, Batu and Nuo Min pushed the door open and found no one in the house.Nuo Min walked to the door, poked her head out and shouted: "Sister, Sister Bailing, where are you? I brought you a guest." Then she turned her head and smiled at Batu, "Maybe someone else I have invited Sister Bailing as a guest, don't think that Sister Bailing has only been here for a short time, everyone here likes her very much. Please wait a moment, uncle, I will look for it." Ba did not answer.Nuo Min, who has always been careless, didn't notice the sudden change in her uncle's face. A faint fragrance lingered in the room, and Batu's heart beat violently. As if a distant but forever unforgettable old scene suddenly reappeared, he was completely hit by a wonderful feeling. At some point, a young girl quietly appeared in front of the door, her cheeks were flushed, and her black eyes sparkled. Batu looked at her in amazement. In the first moment, Batu thought that he had returned to Yulong Jiechi's castle, back to the basement that he treasured deep in his memory.When he woke up from the endless darkness, he saw the basement door opened, and a beautiful figure was walking down the wooden ladder step by step... "It's here." Erin whispered, pointing to a small house at the westernmost end. When Bing Ji and Batu got married, Xiban sent the witty and diligent Yilin to her second sister-in-law out of respect for her. Since then, Yi Lin has been serving Bing Ji and Mrs. Nataja faithfully.Over the years, Mrs. Nataja has treated Irene like her own daughter, and Bingji has treated her like her own sister.Not long ago, Erin heard a rumor, and she secretly told Bing Ji about the rumor.Right now, she is taking Bing Ji to visit the rumored mysterious figure. The wooden door is bronze and has just been painted.Bing Ji's heart beat strangely, then she came to her senses and walked to the door in a few steps.Just as she was about to knock on the door, she suddenly thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and quickly reached out and grabbed the doorknob.The door of the hut was not locked at all, Bing Ji just turned it slightly, and the door opened quietly. This is a typical Oros-style cabin. The space is not large, but because of the simple furnishings inside, it doesn't look messy at all, but it feels simple and bright.On the left side of the hut are neatly placed a small wooden table and a few armchairs, which look like newly purchased ones. On the right side are two 20-centimeter-high brackets. Long wooden box.There is a very narrow small wooden bed in the back of the house. There is a chess table and two drum stools on the corner of the bed, presumably it is used by the owner of the house to play chess with others.There is nothing special about the cottage, but it is spotlessly clean.What's even more amazing is that as soon as you step into the room, a faint fragrance comes to your nostrils, which is refreshing.However, this is definitely not the fragrance of flowers and plants, Bing Ji soon remembered the rumors, and this is the reason why she came here today. Bing Ji looked around the hut for a week with hostility, and then she set her eyes on a young woman in simple clothes on the bed.At this time, the woman was concentrating on her needlework, and she didn't notice anyone walking into the house at all.Bing Ji was attracted by the object in the woman's hand. It was a cap with a wide brim and a pointed top. The material of the cap was very particular. It was the kind of fine felt that had been carefully processed. The style was also very unique, and the color was very beautiful. Brown with a few beige streaks.Is this supposed to be a man's hat?Could it be that it was sewn for him?Thinking of this, Bing Ji's heart was once again filled with sourness and resentment. In order to attract the woman's attention, Erin knocked on the door a few times. The woman raised her head and looked at Bing Ji and Yi Lin in surprise, a trace of displeasure slipped across her face, but it was fleeting, as if the arrival of Bing Ji's master and servant was the most normal thing in the world. "you……" "I haven't seen the queen yet!" Erin couldn't get used to the woman still sitting on the bed, she was indifferent, and announced loudly. "Queen?" Bing Ji waved her hand, but Erin reluctantly stopped talking. The woman stood up: "Are you here to see me?" Before Bing Ji answered, Yi Lin said first: "Yes, we just want to meet you, the flower... the flower demon." "Flower demon?" The woman laughed dumbly, "My name is Bai Ling." "I don't care what 'Lark' is not 'Lark'! This is our Bing Ji Queen, have you never heard of it? Why are you still rude?" "Of course I've heard of Queen Bing Ji, but I really don't know why you are here. If you just want to see me, then you have already seen it. If you have something to say to me, please do so. "Bailing replied neither humble nor overbearing. "You!" Erin was so angry that she was at a loss for words. Bing Ji stared at Bai Ling coldly, and Bai Ling felt a little uneasy for no reason. The air condensed little by little, and in the awkward silence, Bai Ling got up slowly, moved a chair, and placed it behind Bing Ji. "You know me, don't you?" "I'm not sure." "why?" "I don't think anyone would dare to pretend to be a queen. But if it's a noble queen, why would she condescend to visit my humble room?" "People more noble than me have been here before." "You mean..." "Yes. I've heard all the rumors." Bai Ling was silent for a moment: "Maybe it's not what you imagined." "Even so, I cannot allow these rumors to continue." "What do you want?" "Please leave!" After a while, Bing Ji said each word with great force. "leave?" "Yes, leave Sarai City." "why?" "You should know." "I don't know. Besides, I don't understand that even if you are a queen, you have no right to make such a request." "I can give you a lot of money, as long as you agree to leave." "I don't need money. I like being here." "Don't force me." "You are forcing me." "You are too... don't you understand that as long as I don't let you live in Sarai City, there will be no place for you in Sarai City." "Of course I believe this. However, Queen, I still want you to tell me why you insist on driving me away?" "For my husband." "Sweating profusely? Oh...I see." "You understand?" Bing Ji asked suspiciously. "Yes. Queen, with all due respect, the Great Khan is a Mongolian. In the Mongolian grasslands, a capable man can marry many wives. I believe the Great Khan is no exception. As you are a queen, you should be obliged to serve the Great Khan Arrange it all." "This is a family matter between Da Khan and me. I have my own discretion on how to do it. It's not up to you, an outsider, to make irresponsible remarks. Even if Da Khan really wants to accept a concubine, I won't let you be so unknown. People..." Bing Ji realized that she had slipped her tongue, and hurriedly stopped the conversation. Bai Ling looked at Bing Ji in astonishment, feeling both funny and funny for a moment. I don't know whether it's because of excitement or pain, Bing Ji's fair face flushed red, slightly tilted up, the tip of her pretty nose also showed a kind of almost transparent pink, and her blue-black eyes seemed to be hidden on the top of a mountain. The lake water contains the cleanliness and depth of the blue sky, rippling in the silence.Bai Ling had never looked at any other girl with such a mood, and she suddenly discovered that she actually didn't hate Bing Ji at all, on the contrary, she respected and loved her a little.After all, the man Bing Ji loves deeply is also the most important man in her Bai Ling's life! "You love sweat, don't you?" "He's the only man in my life, the only love." "Many years ago, there was a woman who... loved a man like you, and then she chose to leave. Love is so different from love." "Who are you talking about?" "You don't know." "Maybe I'm selfish, but I'm willing to be selfish." "For the sake of love, even selfishness should be appreciated." "What did you say?" "It's nothing. Empress, could it be that you have really heard some rumors that are not good for the Great Khan?" "This...not really." "So?" "Miss Bailing, I really don't know where you come from. Are you Mongolian?" "Half." "Ok?" "Like you, I heard that your mother is a Mongolian Merki. Empress, the Great Khan is a man with an open heart. He has never done anything wrong to you. My relationship with the Great Khan is really different from what you imagined. Even if you can't trust me, please trust the Great Khan." "Trust Khan?" "You are the woman he cherishes the most in this world, do you have doubts in your heart?" "No." Bing Ji stared at Bai Ling, her face became much more relaxed. "Queen, in your eyes, do I still look like a flower demon?" "Maybe more like a beautiful flower fairy. I think this should be the reason why Dahan loves you so much and likes to come here." "Although this is so, it has nothing to do with personal relationships. To me, the Great Khan is like my relatives." Bing Ji stared blankly at Bai Ling, Bai Ling's gaze was pure and open, it was by no means the gaze of a woman with a guilty conscience, could it be that she really misunderstood this woman? Yilin became more and more confused when listening to the conversation between the Queen and Bai Ling. She was especially surprised that the Queen was originally here to inquire about the crime.Could it be that this girl named Bai Ling is really a flower demon?Otherwise, how could she have such great demon skills? "Bailing, the water is rolling." Someone yelled outside the door.Bailing smiled a little embarrassedly: "I forgot. Queen, wait a moment, I will make you a cup of tea in a while. I brought the tea from Fujian, China. You can taste how it tastes." Bailing said while walking After going out, while the skirt fluttered, a wisp of faint fragrance diffused again.This is by no means the incense of the clothes, nor is it the fragrance emitted by sachets or the like. Bing Ji even thinks that this fragrance does not come from the world.Erin walked to the door and looked out vigilantly. Bing Ji sat still, and she didn't want to excuse herself at all. For this enigmatic girl, she really developed a strong interest, and this interest has surpassed The original suspicion. Not long after, Bailing came in with a teapot. She put the teapot on the small wooden table, and went to the box to take out the saucer and teacup.This is a valuable tea set.The teapot is baked into the shape of a crown, and the paintings on it are bright in color, and the patterns of golden pheasants and distant mountains and clouds are uneven and lifelike.The saucer is a solemn purple-blue color, set off by four flat-bottomed round-mouthed teacups, the teacups are as thin as jade, with two narrow and one wide three purple-blue stripes painted on the mouth of the cup, which is very harmonious with the saucer. Bai Ling poured tea into the teapot, and immediately, bursts of tea fragrance diffused, a bit like the fragrance that Bing Ji smelled when she first entered the door, but not quite the same.Bailing rinsed the teacup with hot tea first, then poured the tea repeatedly with another teacup until the color of the tea soup turned green, and then respectfully offered the first cup of tea to Bing Ji.A glass of "green mountains and green water" is enough to tempt you. What's even more amazing is that the flying feathers that are baked at the bottom of the cup seem to surface little by little with the rising mist, bouncing off the pipa, and the clothes are fluttering, which is wonderful. Peerless.Both Bing Ji and Yi Lin were stunned. They could never have imagined that there is such a superb skill in the world. Even though Bing Ji has traveled to various places with her husband these years and saw a lot of handicrafts in the world, but like this This is the first time I have seen porcelain that can be called a masterpiece. Bai Ling saw Bing Ji's envious expression, and smiled lightly: "This tea set is a family heirloom of my family, and I don't usually use it very much. Queen, would you like to taste this tea? I always prefer this tea set." The taste of growing tea. That year, when my brother and I left Wuyi Mountain, we went up to the mountain to pick it. The locals called it Wuyi Yunwu. There is not much left, and I am reluctant to drink any more, and only use it to entertain the most distinguished guests." "You have a younger brother?" "Yes. We are twins." "Why haven't you seen him?" "He's working in front of the princess, and he won't be back for ten and a half months." "Which princess?" "Princess Nuomin. We came to Sarai City with her." "Let me think about it... Nuo Min came back to visit her relatives in August. Not long after Da Khan was selecting the guards, a young man next to Nuo Min was very good at archery. Da Khan took a fancy to him and kept him as a backup for the guards." , still accompanying Nuo Min for the time being. Are you talking about this young man?" "Yes. Through Nuo Min, we got to know Da Khan." "I see. But why do you want to live here alone?" "I am used to idleness, and I am most impatient with the red tape in the palace. Living here alone, I am free." "Really? Huh! Why is it gone?" Bing Ji looked at the teacup in surprise, through the green and clear tea, the fairy who was still dancing in the mist sank to the bottom of the cup again. "Oh, what the queen doesn't know is that this flying sky will only surface when the heat rises. Just now, we were busy talking, and the heat dissipated, and the flying sky sank." "Feitian? What a beautiful name!" "In Dunhuang in the Western Regions, there is a Mogao Grottoes. The murals there are all created according to Buddhist scriptures. Among them, the flying sky is my favorite image." "Where else have you been?" "Since I was born, I have traveled to many countries and cities with my mother and grandfather. It was not until my grandfather passed away that my mother took me and my younger brother back to Dali, where my mother was born. Later we went to Sichuan for other reasons. At that time , my mother was sick, we borrowed at my mother's friend's house, not far from the barracks of General Wuliang Hetai. Soon, my younger brother met Princess Nuomin, and Princess Nuomin and her parents have been taking good care of us since then The whole family. When my mother was seriously ill, General Wuliang Hetai and Princess Weixuan also gave her the greatest help, but her condition progressed too fast, and all the doctors were helpless. Mother..." Bailing paused, thinking of his mother She died of illness, but her pain was still the same. "My mother left a last word when she was dying, hoping that my brother and I can repay the kindness of the princess's family, so my brother became Princess Nuomin's bodyguard and followed the princess all the time." "Your mother is also a strange woman. Where is your father?" "I have never met my father. However, I know my father is enough to make me and my brother proud, because my mother has loved him all his life, never changed, never forgotten." "With a mother like that, it's no wonder you're different." "You are too much. Queen, please have some tea." Bing Ji took a sip of the tea, and it was really good tea, slightly bitter and then sweet, with an aftertaste that penetrated all organs. "How about it?" "Very good. You drink too." "Oh." Bailing agreed, and then poured a cup of tea for himself and Irene, "Queen, when you leave later, I want to give you this set of tea sets. Mother left this set of tea sets when she passed away. It was given to me, but it is rare for me to find someone to drink tea with me again. Today I was going to make tea again and put it away. It is a coincidence, so I will give it to someone who is destined. Speaking of which, this tea set It is a high-quality official kiln porcelain produced in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is hard to find, and it is suitable for you and the Great Khan." "How can this be done? Absolutely not!" "I give it to you from the bottom of my heart, please don't refuse. Or, you can just think that I am bribing you. Seriously, how lucky Bai Ling is to be able to bribe a noble queen!" Bai Ling couldn't help laughing as he said, Her mischievous look made Bing Ji couldn't help laughing.Until this time, Bing Ji seemed to have a little understanding of the reason why her husband likes Bai Ling. Bai Ling's cheerful, witty, and simple personality is really sweet.Originally, she came here full of suspicion, but at this moment, when all doubts were gone, Bing Ji had a secret hope instead, hoping that Bai Ling could become her friend.Yes, even though she is a queen, what she lacks the most is a close friend in her boudoir who can express her heart without any scruples. Erin interjected recklessly: "You don't have any other purpose for giving such an expensive gift to the queen, do you?" Bai Ling smiled, and answered wittily: "Of course." Yi Lin's eyes widened unconsciously, but Bing Ji's face showed a tacit understanding that she knew the answer long ago. "Speaking of it, there is only one purpose. Precious things need noble people to use them, so that they are worth the money." Bing Ji stood up: "Bailing, thank you for your words, your tea. It's getting late, I should go back.
