Fast wear: lying down life, so delicious

"Whoa!" A sharp horse neigh sounded, and the leading knight suddenly pulled the reins, the horse stopped and raised its front hooves. He turned and looked behind him, with a flash of majesty in his eyes. This knight was Tuoba Hong, the King of Beidi. He was tall and straight, wearing a black cloak, and his expression was serious and firm.

"Your Majesty!" The guard beside him rode closer and asked respectfully, "What do you want?"

Tuoba Hong glanced around, thought for a moment and said, "Send a message to the back, and rest here!"

The guards took the order and left. Soon, the whole team stopped. People started to get busy. Some dismounted to stretch their muscles, some checked the condition of the horses, and some were busy packing their luggage.

After Tuoba Hong got off his horse, he gazed quietly into the distance, with a feeling of emotion welling up in his heart.

I remember the last time I came to the capital of Daqi, it was 20 years ago. At that time, he was still young and full of ambition and aspirations. Now that he came here again, the years have left deep and shallow marks on his face, but the ambition in his heart has never changed.

"King, we are not far from the capital of Daqi. The emperor of Daqi should have received the letter!" The speaker was Tielemu, an envoy of Beidi. He was not only a confidant of the King of Beidi, but also a fierce general. At this time, he was riding a horse and walking side by side with the King of Beidi, Tuoba Hong.

Behind the two men, in addition to the busy soldiers, there was also a carriage that was more noble and luxurious than the other carriages, which was still in place.

The carriage was pulled by four white horses. The body of the carriage was carved with exquisite patterns, and the curtains were embroidered with golden silk threads, shining brightly.

Sitting in the carriage was a young woman, wearing gorgeous clothes, a golden crown on her head, with a pretty face, but her eyes revealed a hint of indifference and arrogance. This was the most beloved youngest daughter of the King of Beidi, and also an important bargaining chip for his diplomatic mission to Daqi.

The King of Beidi stood in front of the carriage, looking ahead, his heart full of anticipation. He had invested heavily in this mission to Daqi, not only bringing a large amount of treasure, but also preparing a generous gift - marrying his most beloved youngest daughter to the Emperor of Daqi as a concubine.

The King of Beidi knew very well that although the Emperor of Da Qi was wise and brave, he had never had a son. If his youngest daughter could give birth to a prince for Da Qi, then the future Emperor of Da Qi would have a close relationship with Beidi.

In this way, Beidi could take advantage of this opportunity to establish friendly relations with Daqi and even control Daqi's government. Thinking of this, the King of Beidi couldn't help laughing.

"Father, are we really going to see the Emperor of Da Qi?" A crisp voice came from the carriage.

The King of Beidi turned around and said with a smile: "Of course, my dear daughter. This time we want to let the Emperor of Daqi see the strength and sincerity of our Beidi. As long as you can win the favor of the Emperor of Daqi, we Beidi will be able to get more benefits."

"Hmph! I don't care about it! I only like the grassland, not the palace." The woman in the car said disdainfully.

The King of Beidi quickly comforted her, "My dear daughter, don't be so willful. This time we go to Daqi not only for your personal happiness, but also for the future of our Beidi. If you can become the queen of Daqi, then we Beidi will get more support and protection. Besides, haven't you always wanted to see the outside world? This time you can go to Daqi to take a look. It is much more prosperous than our grassland."

"Okay, since my father has said so, I will reluctantly agree. However, if the Emperor of Da Qi treats me badly, I will not be polite." said the woman in the car.

The King of Beidi laughed and said, "Don't worry, my daughter. With your beauty and intelligence, you will surely conquer the heart of the Emperor of Daqi. Then, you will be the Queen of Daqi and enjoy all the glory and wealth."

The King of Beidi also warned: "Remember, when you meet the Emperor of Daqi, you must behave gently and generously, and don't lose your manners."

"I know, father." The woman in the car replied impatiently.

The King of Beidi nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and continued to walk forward. He believed that as long as his little daughter could successfully enter the palace of Daqi, they, Beidi, would be able to realize their dream of unifying the Central Plains.

However, he did not know that at this time, Da Qi had undergone earth-shaking changes, and his plan was about to face huge challenges.

At the same time, far away in the imperial palace in the capital of Da Qi, Yuwen Ze was sitting on the dragon throne, listening to the ministers reporting on the situation in various places.

When he heard that the Northern Di envoy came to ask for peace, Yuwen Ze frowned slightly. He knew very well that the Northern Di king was cunning and must have some ulterior motive in asking for peace.

But he was not panicked as he had Tuoba Yan, the favorite son of the King of Beidi, in his hands. He knew that if an enemy came, he would fight back; if a flood came, he would block it with earth. It was not certain who would be more powerful!

After pondering for a moment, Yuwen Ze decided to meet the Northern Di envoys in person to see what their intentions were. If they had bad intentions, he would let the Northern Di people know that the Great Qi was not easy to bully.

Therefore, Yuwen Ze ordered preparations to welcome the arrival of the Northern Di envoys, and a diplomatic contest concerning the fate of the country was about to begin.

"Bang!" When Concubine Gao heard that the King of Beidi would bring envoys to the capital soon to discuss peace talks, she was so frightened that her hands trembled and she lost her grip on the teacup in her hand, which fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"My Lady Concubine?!" Caiyun exclaimed, her face changed drastically, and she hurried forward to check, fearing that Concubine Gao had been burned.

"Nothing!" Concubine Gao came back to her senses from her shock, waved her hand, and signaled Caiyun to leave.

Caiyun had no choice but to pick up the debris on the ground and quietly stepped aside.

Concubine Gao held her chin with her hand and stared at the moon outside the window, her mind constantly echoing with the news she had just heard - the King of Beidi was coming to the capital.

King of Beidi...

Her messy thoughts surged into her mind like a tide, and she couldn't calm down for a long time. This familiar yet unfamiliar name made her thoughts involuntarily drift back to that midsummer twenty years ago.

At that time, she was still a young girl who had just begun to fall in love, innocent and carefree. However, fate accidentally involved her in a political marriage. And the object of this marriage was Yuwen Ze. In other words, it was not called a marriage, but a refuge.

In order to gain wealth and power, her father and brothers sent the young Gao Yueru to the backyard of Yuwen Ze, who was a prince at the time.

Yuwen Ze had already married Princess Gu Qingshu at that time. He was not a lustful person and there were not many people in the backyard, so he seldom lingered there. Therefore, the backyard of the palace was very quiet at that time.

Most of the time, Gao Yueru was alone in her empty room, with no one to chat with, no playmates, and she was all by herself, and she didn't see Yuwen Ze for a long time.
