52【Tribute】(1/2)

Those women in white who were still standing still and like wooden men started to move at this time... The so-called movement is like the body swaying gently, or there is some shaking. In short, it seems that they are not very at ease, but they don’t have any movement. (This chapter is uploaded by netizens on the Internet)

The girl who looked very similar to Xing'er was staring at Bai Yutang, her eyes were not as empty as before, and she seemed to have something to say.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao are not familiar with medical skills, but it can also be seen that these girls are inappropriate.

As a miraculous doctor, Gongsun was almost unable to hold it in, but he couldn't go over and say, "Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll take your pulse..."

Just then, a very beautiful maid came over with a large food box and said a few words to the white-haired Eunuch Chen.

Eunuch Chen smiled and whispered to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "My dear friends and all of you are here to envoy. My concubines have personally made some snacks from hometown and shared them with you."

The ministers knew that Zhao Zhen and these concubines had always been smart and well-behaved, and they were used to it. However, they were surprised that they could taste the pastry made by the imperial concubine?

The maid carried the food box and walked to the nearest table of the Eighth Prince and the others.

When I saw Xiao Sizi, I specially gave him two more pieces.

Zhao Pu poked the little Sizi who was holding the pastry, "Little Sizi, give you snacks for uncles and uncles."

The little Sizi blinked and saw Zhao Pu winked at him and whispered at the women in white there.

The little Sizi got up and gave a cake with a piece of cake in his mouth. I don’t know if he understood it.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang - Zhao Pu asked Xiao Sizi to test those women in white?

Bai Yutang frowned slightly - Xiao Sizi understood his meaning?

Zhan Zhao subconsciously looked at Gongsun.

Gongsun held his cheek and shook his head at the two of them - how could that little fool understand such a profound hint, just don't make a mistake.

The little four sons shared pastries at a table, and his mouth was sweet, and his uncle called him.

All the ministers now know that this is the little prince, and the little fourth son is very cute, and they are all smiling, so they are so polite.

When they were divided into envoys, the envoys also knew that they were Zhao Pu's godson and were very kind.

After getting to Yao Susu's table, the little Sizi reached out and handed the pastry on it, calling the person "Auntie".

Yao Susu reached out to take the pastry, thanked him, and asked, "Little Sizi, where are you from?"

The little fourth son replied, "Where are people from Shaoxing."

"Oh..." Yao Susu nodded, "Like Zhan Zhao, he is a native of Jiangnan."

Opposite, Bai Yutang frowned slightly - Yao Susu was trying to draw Zhan Zhao's ancestral home by saying that he wanted to draw Zhan Zhao's ancestral home.

The little fourth son smiled, "Yes."

Yao Susu and the fourth son said something else, but the little guy was absent-minded. While dividing the pastries here, he secretly looked at the woman in white behind Zhao Yan.

Zhan Zhao's mouth moved slightly - it didn't come out.

Gongsun held his chin and curled his lips - his little son doesn't like to talk nonsense with strangers.

Seeing that Xiao Sizi was not caught, Yao Susu continued to ask, "Little Sizi, how old are you this year?"

"It's five years old." Xiao Sizi replied, muttering to himself - in fact, if you are over four and a half years old, you can be considered a five-year-old...

"I can't tell." Yao Susu smiled, "Some people look much younger than their actual age. I know one, who is over 100 years old, and they look only in their thirties."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao - Does she know your grandfather or my master?

Zhan Zhao frowned. Could it be that Yao Susu really has something to do with the Demon Palace? I don’t know if it is a loyal or a traitor, and if the little fourth son will be trapped...

When the little Sizi heard this, he nodded, "Yes, that's called "Guyanzhi."

After saying that, the pastries were divided here and they ran to the table next door.

Gongsun lowered his head and held the cup and held back his laughter. Yao Susu grinded his teeth - this little fool's mouth is so tight.

The little fourth son arrived at the table of Muzhaotang and the others. Zhao Pu just turned his eyes at him. The little fourth son was there before and knew that everyone said that there was a girl here who looked like a maid who had lost to Bai Yutang's house, and she seemed to be named Xing'er.

Xiao Sizi naturally didn't understand what Zhao Pu said to Xiao Sizi just now, but he felt that since he was an acquaintance, he should divide it into two parts!

So, Xiao Sizi kept stuffing pastries into her hand to the girl who looked like Xing'er.

Xing'er's hands were full of pastries. The little Sizi raised her face and smiled at her, but saw Xing'er's mouth open and close, as if she wanted to speak, but she couldn't make a sound.

The little Sizi thought to himself——Isn’t it a mute?

But Xing'er's face twitched, and it seemed very painful. Xiao Sizi felt that it wasn't a disease, so she reached out to press her wrist and stumbled her pulse to see...

Xiao Sizi just pressed his finger to Xing'er's wrist, and the other side of him came over quickly, "Little Prince, have you all the pastries?"

Xiao Sizi looked down at the empty food box and nodded, "It's all done."

"Then go to have a meal quickly, I'll bother the little prince." Wei Zhaoyan made it clear that the little fourth son was driven away.

The little Sizi looked at Xing'er again, and saw that she had changed back to her previous dull appearance, standing still without reaction.

The little fourth son ran back to Gongsun.

Gongsun hugged him to his legs and asked in a low voice, "What pulse?"

The little Sizi touched her chin and "made her pulse."

After hearing this, Gongsun nodded, as if he was confused.

Zhao Puke, who was beside him, didn't understand what pulse was or didn't, so he went over and asked Gongsun, "What's the situation?"

"The qi is a sign of disorder, blood and qi are stagnant, and there is a disease." Gongsun looked at Xiao Sizi and saw him staring at the spoon in his mouth, and asked, "What else have you found?"

The little Sizi tilted his head—Yeah…

Gongsun didn't force him to ask him. After all, it was only a short while, and it was already very good to be able to get a vein.

Bai Yutang looked at everyone behind Wei Zhaotang again. After the brief uneasiness just now, he regained the expression of the stone man, changing back and forth. What is the mystery?

Just as he was confused, he saw the black shadow running in hurriedly, leaning into Zhao Pu's ear and whispering a few words.

Zhao Pu raised the corner of his mouth, "Here you come?"

The dark shadow nodded.

Zhao Pu winked at Zhao Zhen above.

Zhao Zhen smiled faintly and continued to drink.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - Zhao Pu and the others said early in the morning that they wanted to prepare something, and they also said that there was a good show to watch. Could it be this?

Just as he was thinking, a guard came to report that the envoy of the Western Xia was coming.

The important minister looked at the seat where the Xixia envoy was in confusion. Several people had already arrived, so why did they still come?

Looking at the Xixia envoys, their faces were so pale and their expressions were so embarrassing.

Zhao Zhen pretended not to know and asked, "Is there two envoys of Xixia?"

The guards reported, "The one who came was the General of the Western Xia Dynasty's National Protection, Min Tuoluo."

"Oh..." Zhao Zhen's face was clear, but to the eyes of the ministers who were familiar with him, the emperor's eyes were full of smiles.

He was basically not a high-ranking official, but Min Tuoluo was the general of the Western Xia Dynasty, whose status was equivalent to Zhao Pu's status in the Song Dynasty. The only difference was that the other party was not a royal relative.

Zhan Zhao frowned - he is not unfamiliar with the name Min Tuoluo. This man must be in his fifties this year. He was the most powerful general of the Western Xia Dynasty. When Zhao Pu was not there, he was the most powerful in the entire border. All the border residents immediately fled when they heard the name of "Min Tuoluo".

However, after Zhao Pu was born, Min Tuoluo's life was difficult to bear. He lost three consecutive games and was almost wiped out. The King of Xixia also had a lot of opinions about him. Many people thought that he was old and no longer as brave as he was, so Min Tuoluo kept breathing.

Although I don’t know why he came this time, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang roughly understood what Zhao Pu and the others were preparing for.

It was related to this general that he had not done many good things, but he had done a lot of bad things. In the past few battles, many Song generals died at his hands. Although Zhao Pu defeated him several times on the battlefield, he was timid and afraid of death and fled very quickly, so he did not die under Zhao Pu's sword. Now the two countries have already negotiated peace and no longer fought, and Zhao Pu couldn't cause trouble for him anymore, so he always felt that it was too cheap.

Earlier, Zhao Zhen sent someone to tell Zhao Pu that the spies had returned, and in addition to sending envoys, Xixia also came to Min Tuoluo. It is said that Min Tuoluo had arrived just a few days ago. It seemed that he heard that Zhao Pu had returned to Kaifeng, so he came here specially, probably because he was not at ease.

Min Tuoluo entered the garden and gave Zhao Zhen a gift, saying it was a gift, but he curled his lips and held his fists for 20,000 or 80,000 yuan, but he didn't look like he was here to salute.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand gently. Just as he was about to speak, Min Tuoluo ignored him and turned around and bowed to Zhao Pu, "Ninth Prince, don't be fine."

Zhao Pu held his chin and said, "You are so good." Before the emperor finished speaking, you turned your face away, and your neck would be discounted for a while."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the general. He was indeed tall, dark-skinned, with beards on his temples, and wearing soft armor. The weapon should have been removed. In addition to saying that he was mighty, he was more arrogant.

Zhao Zhen looked at Min Tuoluo who didn't take him seriously, and did not speak out, so he picked up the wine glass to drink.

After Min Tuoluo greeted Zhao Pu, he turned around and swaggered to the Xixia officials.

The original envoy had to give up the front seat to sit for him.

As soon as Min Tuoluo sat down, a maid came to pour him wine.

After taking a few sips, Min Tuoluo began to look around.

Zhan Zhao saw that the man looked fierce and seemed to be inappropriate, and he was a little curious about his purpose.

Sure enough, after three glasses of wine in Min Tuoluo, he put the wine glass on, "Come on, bring my gifts and present them to the Emperor of Song."

His voice was like a bell, and he suddenly said something, and many civil officials were scared by him.

Zhao Zhen smiled, "The Western Xia envoy has already presented tribute, why are there any?"

"Those were given by them. I gave this gift myself, how can it be the same?" Min Tuoluo laughed, and looked at Yao Susu sitting beside him, frowned, "Why are there women in the place where men eat and talk about state affairs?"
