Chapter 1176 (2/2)
”My princess has heard that your imperial grandmother, Empress Dowager Renyi, was originally from the Central Plains. Presumably, Princess Yan has also been influenced by our Central Plains culture.” Lian yuesuddenly said.
Yelv Yan was slightly stunned and said, ”the princess is right. My imperial grandmother was originally from the Central Plains, but she has been a complete Khitan for decades in Khitan.”
”Do as the Romans do, marry one person and be loyal to one city, which should be the case.” Even the moon remained silent. Yelv Yan wanted to read something from her face, but he couldn't see through anything.
After a while, Mammy Li was ordered by the queen to bring some cakes, including Golden Jade chestnut cake, hibiscus cake and jade cake.
”Princess Yan, this is the dessert of the Zhou Dynasty. Try it.” The queen motioned to bring these cakes to yeluyan.
Yeluyan picked up a chestnut cake with the brightest color and put it into his mouth. After tasting it, he thumbed up and said, ”I don't like sweets, but this cake is sweet but not greasy. It melts in the mouth. Everything is just right and delicious.”
”There are so many delicious foods in the Zhou Dynasty. This little chestnut cake is just the most insignificant one. Princess Yan tasted it more during her stay in Beijing.” Said the queen.
”Thank you for your kindness. After the outcome of the matter at hand, you will stay for a few days to eat the delicious food in Kyoto. I wonder if Princess Hengqin can accompany you?” Yelv Yan said.
”It's an honor.” To Yelv Yan's surprise, Lian Xiangyue agreed. She once heard that the women in the central plains are controlled by courtesy and morality. They don't step out of the gate. The princess Hengqin may refuse her.
”It's so good that I'm waiting to invite the princess.” Yelv Yan seemed very happy.
From the beginning to the end, the queen didn't mention the peace talks with Yelv Yan. Women in the back palace were not allowed to do politics. What she had to do was to meet Yelv Yan in the etiquette of the back palace.
”By the way, when I came here, the emperor's grandmother also ordered me to send our Khitan treasures to the empress, and asked the empress to smile.” After a while, Yelv Yan suddenly said and motioned the mammy standing at the door of the store to come over.
”This is the reclining Buddha, presented to the empress.” Yelv Yan said.
The mammy lowered her head, raised her hands above her head and presented the reclining Buddha. The reclining Buddha was made of pure gold and had a compassionate and lifelike look.
The queen smiled and said, ”this Reclining Buddha is lifelike. I didn't expect that Khitan also has such a skilled craftsman.”
”Empress empress, this Nairen should be carved by the Empress Dowager herself. She wants to give it to the empress. I hope that after this war, Khitan and Dazhou can be friends for a hundred years and coexist peacefully.” The Reverend Mother who offered the Buddha said. The queen picked up the reclining Buddha and said, ”I didn't expect empress dowager Renyi to have such patience and skills. I've received her intention. If Princess Yan reaches an agreement and reconciliation with me on this trip, I also hope to stop the war between the two sides. The war will always bring misery to life, and those ordinary soldiers will suffer
And the people. ”
”The queen is merciful every year. My grandmother's Reclining Buddha is really the right gift.” Yelv Yan said.
But even the moon like eyes fell on the Mammy's hand. There were wrinkles on her hand and even some spots on the back of her hand. A hint of meditation flashed across the bottom of her eyes and said to herself, did she read anything wrong?
After delivering the Buddha, she had retreated back and stood where the maidservant should stand, waiting quietly. Yelv Yan exchanged greetings for a while before leaving. After leaving, the queen asked, ”yue'er, what do you think of Princess Yan?”
