Seventh Master, Madam didn't go back to the mansion today.

Today, Qi Yutao woke up very early, and even specially asked the servant girl to take out the official uniform specially worn for receiving foreign guests, and she was dressed very energetically.The envoy from the Izumo Kingdom is visiting today. As a reception envoy, you must not neglect it.

Song Yitao also ran to his room early in the morning, and seeing Qi Yutao's extravagant dress, asked suspiciously, "Where are you going?"

The anger in Qi Yutao's heart did not dissipate, he just gave her a cold look: "Go and meet the envoy."

Song Yitao walked around in front of him: "I want to go too!!"

Qi Yutao glanced at her: "What are you going to do? Besides, I punished you to copy books in the room, have you finished copying?"

"100 times! Do you think I'm a printing machine?" Song Yitao stood on tiptoe and replied.

"Then you don't even think about going out. I managed to tell you to copy the books to get rid of the concubine's anger. You can just copy the books at home obediently!"

"Take care of Madam, don't let her run around." Qi Yutao gave an order and left without looking back.

"Hey!! You asked me to copy the books at home and you go out by yourself, why?!"

Song Yitao rushed to the door and shouted at Xiao Qiye's back, just as she was about to step out, she was stopped by servants, she was so angry that she jumped on Xiao Qiye's bed with her shoes on and stomped back and forth: "You lock me up! ! Let you shut me up!!"

"Seventh lady!! Seventh lady!! Come down quickly! You have trampled on Xiao Qiye's pillow and quilt!!" Lianqiao urged anxiously.

This time to welcome the envoy, the court appointed Li Ruyu, the son of the Minister of Rites, to accompany Qi Yutao.Originally, this mission was undertaken by Xiao Qiye and the sixth elder brother Qi Yuxun who was in charge of naval missions, but Qi Yuxun had a bad stomach temporarily, so he had to entrust the son of Master Li, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, to go.

Li Ruyu was about the same age as Qi Yutao, and he was a handsome young man with a handsome appearance.

The two met at the ferry crossing.Li Ruyu came from afar and bowed to him: "Your Majesty Tao is very polite, today I am here to welcome the distinguished guests on behalf of Lord Xun. I am young and not talented, and this is the first time I take on this important task. Please give me your advice!"

"Hey! Brother Ruyu, we haven't seen each other for many years, why are you so polite!" Xiao Qi put his shoulder on his shoulder and smiled, without any pretensions of a prince. "Look at you, you've grown so tall I don't even recognize you!"

While the two were still greeting each other, several officers in military uniforms came down from the boat not far away, followed by a woman in a pink foreign skirt and foreign hat. She was holding a little white dog and was escorted by a group of soldiers down.It seems that this is the princess of the Izumo country mentioned in the document.

Suddenly, seeing so many people, the little dog panicked and moved on the princess's shoulders, struggling to jump off.

"Hey! My Xue'er!!" The princess slipped her hand, causing the puppy to jump off her shoulders and crawl around in the crowd.

"Quick!! Help me chase Xue'er back!!"

Seeing that the dog got in front of Qi Yutao and the two of them, both of them were in a hurry, they squatted down to catch the dog for her, accidentally, they bumped their heads and kissed.

"Oops! My head! Ruyu! Go there and look for you!" Qi Yutao shouted, covering his head and pointing to the other side.

"Hey! Master Qi! That dog is behind you!" Li Ruyu also shouted.

Xiao Qiye hurriedly turned around: "Where is it!!"

Li Ruyu was speechless, and simply ran up to catch it by himself.The little white dog was very light, and he was walking around in the crowd. Li Ruyu just bent down and lowered his head to catch the dog, and bumped into Xiao Qiye without paying attention. Going into the sea: "Ah!!"

Li Ruyu hugged the puppy and was about to send it to the princess, and the princess just ran over.

As soon as Li Ruyu took a step, he heard Xiao Qiye's cry for help behind him, turned around in surprise, and saw Xiao Qiye already struggling in the sea.Li Ruyu stuffed the dog into the princess' arms, and ran to rescue Xiao Qiye by himself.

"Little Qiye, here I come!!" Li Ruyu jumped into the sea.

"Hahaha!!" Princess Izumo hugged her dog and laughed while pointing at the two people in the sea.

After a farce, Qi Yutao and Li Ruyu got into the carriage, and the two of them had grown unlucky. Qi Yutao wiped the water off his face with a cloth and handed it to Li Ruyu: "Here, wipe it off."

"Qi Ye, do you want to change your clothes? How can you look like this when you have to meet the empress dowager?" Li Ruyu asked.

"Well, it's running out of time, so I'll change in the carriage." Xiao Qiye changed into the casual clothes that Li Ruyu carried with him after speaking.

Qi Yutao took off his wet coat, and put the thin silk inner garment against Xiao Qiye's body, revealing a whole body of muscles.Qi Ye then took off his underwear, exposing the large area of ​​wheat-colored skin and smooth muscle lines to Li Ruyu's eyes, a few strands of hair on his forehead dripped a few drops of water, and slid along Xiao Qi Ye's neck over his chest muscles, abdominal muscles, finally slide into...

Li Ruyu looked at it twice and said, "Wow."

"What are you doing? It looks like you haven't seen it before." Qi Yutao teased.

"Uh, no, why do you have so many scars on your body?" Li Ruyu asked.

"Oh, I was assassinated in Qiyuan County some time ago, and I was hacked by those killers."

"Who is so bold?! Why didn't you tell me and Brother Qiao? We are near Qiyuan." Li Ruyu immediately looked serious, and his tone was a little eager.

"Damn! How could you think so much at that time, besides, we haven't seen each other for many years, I don't know where you are now."

Li Ruyu looked at him helplessly, patted his chest and said with a smirk, "Are you still a child?"

At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly, and his subordinates shouted outside: "Qi Tao Tao, we are here, you have to go down to meet the distinguished guests."

Xiao Qiye hastily untied the rope on his trousers and chatted for a long time, but the clothes are still not finished!He coughed and said, "Ruyu, you go first!! I haven't dressed yet."

Li Ruyu responded and got out of the carriage.

Qi Yutao looked at Li Ruyu's back from the window, and sneered retaliatingly: "Oh, you're a child, right? I'm not anymore!"

According to the rules, Li Ruyu bowed in front of the carriage of Princess Izumo and asked her to get off the carriage.The princess opened the curtain and glanced at him: "I want that person to help me."

"He, he has something to do, so he can't welcome Her Royal Highness."

"Look, you're all wet...I dare not approach you." The princess glanced at his clothes, feeling a little disgusted.

Li Ruyu thought for a while, calmly took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and put it on the back of his right hand: "Princess, please rest assured to get out of the car, our emperor and queen mother are still waiting for you."

Princess Izumo smiled lightly, got out of the carriage, put one hand on his handkerchief, and Li Ruyu supported her respectfully.

On the way to the palace, the little princess glanced at Li Ruyu secretly.However, Li Ruyu kept his head down and didn't look at himself, with no expression on his face.

"Are all the men in your Daning Kingdom so timid? You kept your head down and didn't dare to look at me."

"Men in Daning Kingdom are not timid, but they are afraid of offending the princess." Li Ruyu still lowered his head, but his tone was neither humble nor overbearing, very secure.

The little princess said nothing on her face, she came to the gate of the palace silently, and accompanied by the envoys of the Izumo Kingdom, she entered the palace to worship.

"I wish the Empress Dowager of the Daning Kingdom a long life! I am the emissary of the Izumo Kingdom - Odagiri Igawa. This is our princess - Umemiya Yiyuki, who was entrusted by the Emperor to come to the Daning Kingdom to investigate the national conditions, and I have heard for a long time There are many talented people in your country, and our emperor intends to choose a good son-in-law in Daning to promote friendly exchanges between the two countries, and please His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress Dowager to make arrangements for our Princess."

Xi and the Queen Mother spoke first: "Okay, please sit down."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" After that, there was another round of greetings, and the princess was almost sleepy sitting up.

"This princess of the Izumo Kingdom is really beautiful. If it weren't for the youngest son of Prince Rong's family who has been married to me, the Ai family really wants to betroth this princess to Yutao. Hey, where is Prince Rong's son?"

Li Ruyu got up and replied: "Qi Queen Mother, Tao Shizi is temporarily unable to show his face due to urgent matters, so I have been entrusted to meet His Royal Highness the Princess."

The emperor remembered Song Yitao's begging to let her be with Qi Yutao that day, and wanted to change the subject: "Mother, since you have already proposed marriage to Yutao, I am afraid it is not appropriate to propose another marriage. I think the son of Mr. Li is young and promising. He's someone you can rely on."

Li Ruyu immediately kowtowed: "Please forgive me, my majesty! I am a humble minister, and I really dare not take on this important task."

"Let's put this matter aside for now. The son of the Li family is indeed too low in official position, and he has really wronged the princess. The Ai family will help the princess." Xihe said the queen mother.

Li Ruyu wiped his sweat secretly in his heart, but luckily he didn't propose marriage to him.
