It was still morning, and brightly dressed guards came out from the palace, spreading straight from the gate of the palace to the north gate of the imperial city.

The streets where they stood guard were cleared and ordinary people were unable to wait to get close to them.

The red feathers on each guard's helmet are so glamorous. Each guard looks majestic.

The people surrounded the guards, almost surrounded by water, and they all wanted to see the true appearance of the Empress of the Western Xia.

This is an extremely rare female emperor in this era. The stories about the empress that have been circulated in recent years have also made the people of the Song Dynasty quite curious about her.

Some people say that this empress has three heads and six arms, so that she can become the Emperor of Xixia as a woman. Some people say that this empress successfully ascended the throne by relying on her bed skills.

In short, there are many different opinions.

And the more these strange statements, the more curious it makes people feel about her.

"Here, come!"

As the people gathered at the city gate suddenly became noisy, Li Xiushu's team finally appeared outside the city gate corridor.

The Western Xia flag flutters in the wind.

There were dozens of burly soldiers in front of them, each holding a flag, as if he was singing a big show.

The Xixia imperial guards that stretched out later were all full of energy and looked quite good.

This made the eyes of some insightful people look a little surprised.

The Western Xia imperial guards can have such a formation. It seems that the Western Xia empress does not only have methods in governance, but also in governance of the army.

The empress's chariot was in the army.

All the chariots guarding the chariots in front, back, left and right were burly men, and there were several gray-robed swordsmen following them, which looked extraordinary.

The crowds are full of noises.

The people all stood on tiptoe, raised their necks, and their eyes fell on Li Xiushu's chariot.

This chariot is a bit different from Zhao Dongting's. Perhaps because Li Xiushu is a woman, there are not only dragons on the chariot, but also many phoenixes are carved.

Dragon and phoenix show good fortune.

Suddenly, the curtains of the chariot were opened.

Li Xiushu smiled slightly and nodded to the people who were stopped by the Song Dynasty guards.

This smile can't see any cold and arrogant look, it only makes people feel like spring breeze.

This made many people confused.

Someone said: "Why is the empress not three heads and six arms?"

I don’t know what Li Xiushu would feel if she heard these comments.

During the Song Dynasty, the State Councilor Lu Xiufu, as a representative, personally welcomed Li Xiushu at the city gate.

This is naturally a very high specification.

Lu Xiufu was wearing court uniforms, with wings shaking on both sides of the official hat.

Behind him, there were several officials of the State Council. Of course, the special envoy of the Western Xia to the Song Dynasty, Zhongsun Guge, was also among them.

Seeing that these officials of the Song Dynasty, Li Xiushu's guard of honor stopped slowly and made way for Lu Xiufu and others.

Lu Xiufu and others walked directly to Li Xiushu's carriage.

Zhongsun Guge immediately knelt down on the ground, "My minister Zhongsun Guge welcomed the emperor."

Lu Xiufu just bowed, "The State Council of the Song Dynasty ordered Lu Xiufu to welcome the Emperor of Xixia."

The curtain of the carriage door was pulled open from inside.

Two maids first showed their faces, and then Lee Soo-sook also showed their faces.

As a concubine of the Yuan Dynasty, she naturally had noble spirit. Now, as the empress of the Western Xia, she is even more noble and arrogant.

His current expression is completely different from when he was taken to Changsha as a hostage.

Noble, elegant, and indifferent. This is the temperament that can be seen on Li Xiushu's face at this time.

She smiled slightly on her face and nodded slightly at Lu Xiufu, "Thank you for your hard work."

His eyes never fell on Zhongsun Guge from beginning to end.

But Zhongsun Guge didn't dare to think there was anything wrong with it, so he just stood up slowly.

Lu Xiufu looked at Li Xiushu, who had changed a lot from the past, and was afraid that Mo would sigh in his heart.

After a few seconds, he said: "The emperor of our dynasty has already held a banquet in the main hall and invites the Emperor of Xixia to enter the palace to attend the banquet."

As he said that, he looked at the Xixia soldiers behind the chariot who seemed to be out of sight and said, "As for the Xixia warriors, our dynasty has prepared a banquet in the military camp."

"Um……"

Li Xiushu nodded slightly, then opened the curtain on the right side of the carriage, and said to the general who was standing outside the window: "Liangcheng, you will take the soldiers to the military camp. I will bring the enthronements into the palace."

"emperor……"

Heliancheng was a little hesitant.

Li Xiushu frowned slightly, "Don't you understand what I said?"

In just this moment, her majesty was fully revealed.

"The last general takes the order."

Heliancheng didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly bowed his order.

It is conceivable how deep the majesty has left in Li Xiushu's heart after he ascended the throne.

Li Xiushu smiled again and looked at Lu Xiufu again, "Then please ask the State Councilor to take me into the palace!"

He murmured, "I have seen you Emperor Song for a while."

When she returned to the old land of Changsha, she must have felt a little complicated. However, others could not guess what she felt.

Lu Xiufu bowed again, "Please!"

He led the officials to pass through the Xixia guard of honor again, got on the horse in front, and took Li Xiushu's carriage to the palace slowly.

Lead Miao Youli, who was in the Tianshang Army’s imperial capital, to Helian City, “General He, please follow me to the barracks for a banquet.”

Nowadays, except for the Yuan Dynasty, the general circles of various countries are small, but not big. For Heliancheng, a young and powerful general in Xixia, even if Miao Youli is a veteran, he seems quite polite. Therefore, he seems quite polite.

Heliancheng didn't dare to neglect, "Thank you, General."

Thousands of Xixia soldiers followed Miao Youli to the military camp.

At this time, Zhao Dongting, Zhang Ru, Le Chan, and many civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty were sitting in the hall.

Zhao Dongting and Le Chan whispered.

Le Chan, wearing a golden hairpin, also showed a bit of nobility.

Zhao Dongting still didn't know why Li Xiushu suddenly visited the Song Dynasty. Logically speaking, the situation in Xixia now should be slightly better than that in the Song Dynasty, because the Yuan Dynasty and Dali both regarded the Song Dynasty as the number one enemy, and the Xixia national strength was weak, so no one was interested at this time.

Not long after, a eunuch hurried to the palace and knelt on the ground and reported, "Emperor, the Emperor of Xixia has entered the palace."

Then when Li Xiushu and others arrived at Zhengde Gate, which was closest to the hall, another eunuch came to report.

Zhao Dongting took Le Chan, Zhang Ru and all civil and military officials to leave their seats and greet them at the palace gate.

In fact, there was no need to do this, but the Song Dynasty and Xixia were allies, so Zhao Dongting naturally had to be a little polite.
