You don't have to argue, but you still have to eat.

Xia Tong listened to Jin Jina's talk about Beirong customs for a long time, and was enticed by the rumored bonfire party. She happily mixed half a bowl of rice with barbecue sauce. She originally wanted to try the sweet kumiss, but

Seeing the emperor's cold expression, Xia Tong timidly retracted his hand - it would be better to wait until after giving birth before having a drink.

Although today's banquet was hosted by Jiang Bilan, she didn't have much appetite herself. Seeing that everyone was a little tired after drinking and eating, she came out at the right time and said: "Your Majesty, how wonderful is it to have friends from far away? Let's also let the distant people come.

Your distinguished guest, please open your eyes."

Liu Zhang nodded.

Jiang Bilan ordered people to remove the stove where the barbecue was being cooked and clean up the scattered charcoal blocks. Then she opened the corner door of the animal garden, and a dozen tall and strong men came out carrying a huge iron cage.

Xia Tong straightened up immediately.

She had only heard people say how novel and lively the animal park was, but it was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes. She could only distinguish a few types, such as the lions from Siam, the giant elephants that came from the country to eat, and the ashes donated by Goguryeo.

Bear. These alone are scary enough.

The beasts had been ready to move when they smelled the aroma of meat, but thanks to the iron cage, they had no chance to escape.

Empress Dowager Jiang was old and mentally weak, so naturally she couldn't hear the roar. When she was about to go back, Jiang Bilan comforted her and said, "Please look, Empress Dowager, there are a pair of cranes there. I heard that they flew to the animal garden on their own. They must be to protect me."

A sign of great prosperity in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Empress Dowager Jiang was attracted by the two cranes strolling in the garden, and did not say anything about leaving - seeing more of them might prolong her life.

Xia Tong felt that it was not good for him to be too calm at this time, so he pretended to be afraid and hid in the emperor's arms, "Your Majesty, I am so scared. Can you ask them to retreat?"

Liu Zhang gently stroked her palm, seeming to enjoy this gesture very much, "If you are afraid, just hold on to me, I will protect you."

Everyone felt a little uncomfortable in their stomachs, and the barbecue rice just now had a vague feeling of welling up - this was too nauseating!

Concubine Wen De and Concubine Xu Xian both stood up and resigned - even if they could be promoted to the throne because of Xia Tong's contribution, but one code is the same, this kind of scene will still make people panic after seeing it too many times.

Jiang Bilan did not persuade the two of them to stay. Originally, the focus of today was not on them.

She quickly glanced at the emperor and the queen mother on the high seat, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Seeing that Feng Yuzhen was still sitting upright, Jin Jili really admired the fairy's courage, "Isn't Mrs. Feng afraid?"

Feng Yuzhen forced herself to smile, but she didn't know that her legs were too stiff to move.

Of course she was afraid, but what could she do? The emperor was so far away, and she couldn't ask this stupid prince to protect her. If they hugged each other in public, in order to calm the dispute, she had to marry to Beirong.

.

She doesn't want to settle in a place where birds don't lay eggs - and she doesn't like eating barbecue rice that's so hard that it bites your teeth.

Facing Jin Jili's earnestness, she could only force herself to be calm and said: "I've seen a lot, so I'm naturally not afraid."

Feng Yuzhen's image in Jin Jili's heart immediately rose to a higher level. Unexpectedly, the fairy looked weak, but was actually extremely strong inside, and she was no less generous than the women on their grasslands.

This also made Jin Jili more interested in pleasing this beauty. He clapped his hands gently, and two warriors dressed as foreigners came over leading two huge animals.

Xia Tong strongly suspected that these Beirong people grew up eating golden garbage. At first glance, they were almost two meters tall, and the two wild beasts (or domestic animals?) were also terrifyingly big.

This looks like a wolf, but can a wolf grow so big? Xia Tong expressed doubts.

Maybe it was the fluffy fur belt that gave people the wrong impression, but even so, it was far beyond Xia Tong's understanding.

Jin Jili cherished and touched the heads of the two animals and introduced: "These are the snow wolves that are abundant in Beirong, one male and one female. My father brought them back to the camp when he was hunting last year. One is named Baishan, and the other is named Baishan."

For black water."

Xia Tong thought to himself, why don't you call me Baiyun Heitu? You can make a sketch out of it.

However, the two wolves are indeed heroic, majestic and good-looking. According to Jin Jili, although the snow wolf has a snowy name, most of them are still the same as ordinary wolves, with jet black skin color, and the white one is a mutant species - although

I don’t know why this change occurs, but it seems to be related to courtship, so as to attract the attention of females.

Heishui was indeed very attached to his spouse, and would rub his head against his wife's ears from time to time. Baishan looked cool, looking sharply ahead, and didn't pay much attention to his wife - but he didn't resist his wife's closeness either.

.

Xia Tongguang could imagine an article about a domineering president just by looking at it.

Feng Yuzhen was so frightened that she couldn't stand up. If she hadn't drank much water just now, she thought she might have peed her pants.

I have never heard that wolves can be tamed. Is there something wrong with these Beirong people?

Jin Jili paid no attention to her fear, but asked attentively: "Do you still like it, madam?"

Feng Yuzhen's teeth were chattering, "It...are they really so obedient? You...you'd better take them back quickly."

Jin Jili mistakenly thought that the other party was using a provocation method, and became more and more expressive, "Of course, I will show it to you, ahem, to show it to His Majesty the Emperor."

So he ordered the attendant to loosen the reins, and the two snow wolves stood still.

Jin Jili said proudly: "You see, without my order, they will never do it without authorization..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as they finished speaking, Baishan and Heishui ran wildly and rushed straight to the throne. Presumably, the Empress Dowager Chiang and the Emperor were both dressed in bright yellow uniforms, which easily attracted attention.

There was suddenly silence everywhere, except for a scream as Feng Yuzhen's beauty turned pale.

Xia Tong was sitting close to the emperor and rushed towards the emperor almost without thinking, "Your Majesty, be careful!"

There was no tragic scene like the person tumbling over, but the emperor caught her steadily.

Liu Zhang looked at her strangely and said, "Have you forgotten that I know martial arts?"

Xia Tong was dumbfounded.

I always feel like I have done something stupid and feel so ashamed.

In fact, she didn't think about that at that moment, it was just a subconscious action, thinking that it should be like this - it's not that she didn't consider the risk of her life, but if she died, the emperor could still rule the world, and she would be buried with generous gifts, and her

The family will also be protected.

But if the emperor is evil, people like them will really have nowhere to go.

It's just a matter of values ​​​​choosing.

But she forgot that the emperor did not need her protection at all, and her sacrifice might be worthless.

Xia Tong was about to stand up, but Liu Zhang pinched her waist and planted a deep kiss on her lips, "I understand what you mean and I am very touched, but next time, don't take such risks again.

"

Jin Jina's cough interrupted the two's entanglement. Only then did Xia Tong realize, where were those two beasts just now?

As he looked around, he saw Baishan Heishui lying obediently on the ground with his two front paws, sticking out his tongue and humming and wagging his tail.

Xia Tong felt that his knowledge had been refreshed again. It turned out that wolves can also wag their tails!

Jin Jina said proudly: "We Beirong people never lie. My elder brother said he could tame these two snow wolves, so he was certainly not lying."

Just now, Jin Jili was just showing off his skills deliberately. When he saw the two wolves running up the steps, he whistled in time. As soon as he heard the whistle, the two of them sat down like big dogs.

Xia Tong felt speechless. He should have said this earlier. Even if he couldn't hurt anyone, what if he got a heart attack?

She couldn't help but look at the location of Empress Dowager Jiang.

The old man was fine, but Jiang Bilan was seriously injured. There was a dent on her forehead and blood was dripping from it.

My foot also seemed to be twisted, and I was limping when I walked.

Gu Mingzhu was bandaging her, but Jiang Bilan looked at her aunt affectionately and said: "As long as the Queen Mother is fine, I will be relieved."

It's a pity that Xia Tong acted too quickly, otherwise she could go to the emperor to express her merits - forget it, you won't become a big fat man with one bite, but it is good to win the favor of the Queen Mother.

Xia Tong asked in surprise: "Could this injury be caused by Snow Wolf catching him?"

It’s a pity that there was no rabies vaccine in ancient times. It must be dangerous, right?

"Uh, no," Jiang Bilan said a little embarrassed, "It was knocked out on the stone steps just now."

The Empress Dowager Jiang became angry at the mention of this. With so many guards around her, how could she still be allowed to die in the belly of a wolf? But the niece just rushed out regardless of her and was holding on to her desperately. She was not trying to save anyone, but rather dragging her away.

Don't let him escape.

When Jiang Bilan was wrestling just now, she also knocked down the Empress Dowager Jiang. Now her waist is still aching. No wonder she doesn't have a good attitude towards Jiang Bilan.

However, Jiang Bilan didn't think so. She felt that she had made a great contribution this time and was eagerly waiting to receive the reward.

Xia Tong turned his gaze away from the two aunts and nephews who seemed to be inseparable, and turned to observe the situation of everyone on the scene. Although he did not hurt anyone, I am afraid that the female relatives were shocked.

Forget about everyone else, Feng Yuzhen was in the most miserable situation. Her goose-yellow cotton silk skirt was full of wet stains. At first glance, she thought she had peed herself because of fright.

Well, it looks like she really peed... There was no tea cup around her.

Xia Tong winked at Chunlan, and Chunlan walked over knowingly, supported her arm and stood up, "Feng Meiren, I will accompany you in to change clothes."

Feng Yuzhen leaned her head on her shoulder and covered her face with her hands. She was so ashamed and frustrated that she couldn't see anyone at all.

Xia Tong felt tragic just looking at it. This was the worst kind of social death, even scarier than her aunt's scarf falling off.

Especially Feng Yuzhen, who has always regarded herself as a goddess, how could she withstand such a blow?

I hope Jin Jili never saw it... Xia Tong turned around and found Jin Jili's mouth wide open, his eyes full of disbelief.

The beauty he admired wholeheartedly, the fairy who was as spotless as a god in the clouds, actually peed his pants like ordinary people - no, ordinary people at this age would not wet their pants.
