Gu Fengmian also stood up generously and replied, "The prince doesn't have to mind, the competition should go all out, this is the greatest respect for the opponent, as for the miss, it is inevitable." ”

Prince Basak laughed and drank the wine from his phone. And the people returned to the feast. Shen Zeyuan announced that the banquet would continue to allow everyone to enjoy it without restraint. Everyone didn't shirk it, they enjoyed dancing and music at the bottom, some drank and wrote poems, staggered and played.

Shen Zeyuan served Song Shuyan with food, and said to her with a smile: "Yan'er, you have been very tired from running this banquet these days, and you have worked hard. ”

Song Shuyan smiled and said to Shen Zeyuan: "Your Majesty, you are serious, these are all matters within the concubine's responsibility, and they are not hard." ”

Shen Zeyuan still smiled and served her vegetables, and Song Shuyan did not refuse, eating the dishes he gave himself with peace of mind.

Ouyang Xue and Liu Xi both raised their glasses and drank together, Gu Fengmian raised his glass and compared it to Ouyang Xue, Ouyang Xue also returned it, and the two of them also drank a glass of wine across everyone.

Just when everyone was enjoying themselves, an envoy from the Baiyi Kingdom came forward again and performed a ritual to Shen Zeyuan of their Baiyi Country: "Your Majesty, the holy daughter of our country came this time to marry the Great Li Dynasty. ”

These words brought everyone's thoughts back, and then they remembered the real purpose of the Baiyi Kingdom coming to the Great Calendar Dynasty this time. Shen Zeyuan didn't look up, he continued to pick up vegetables for Song Shuyan, and said after a while: "I already know about this matter, don't be in a hurry now, I can talk about it in detail after I finish picking up the wind for you." ”

But the envoy did not seem to appreciate it, and said, "No, Your Majesty. I am very grateful to Your Majesty for your kindness, but I still want to settle the matter first. ”

Shen Zeyuan snapped his chopsticks, Song Shuyan knew that some people in the court wanted Shen Zeyuan to abolish the queen a while ago, and set up the holy woman of the Baiyi Kingdom as the queen, although he had not mentioned it too much in front of him, but Song Shuyan also knew that this matter was still a little tricky.

Song Shuyan gently patted Shen Zeyuan's arm and signaled him not to get too excited. Shen Zeyuan also accepted the unhappy look on his face. He calmed down and asked the messenger, "Then I wonder if your holy woman has a favorite person?"

The envoy was obviously frightened by Shen Zeyuan's moment just now, and now that he saw him asking himself, he hurriedly sorted out his emotions and said as firmly as possible: "Our lord hopes that Your Majesty can abolish the queen and make the holy daughter of our Baiyi country the queen." ”

As soon as these words came out, the air pressure on the spot was instantly reduced by a few degrees. Ouyang Xue and Liu Xi both looked at Song Shuyan with some concern, but Song Shuyan didn't seem to be so flustered.

Shen Zeyuan didn't speak, everyone in the hall stopped moving, and suddenly quieted down, and after a while, it was Song Ling who stood up first to speak, "Your Majesty, please think twice about this matter." Then several ministers also stood up one after another and said to Shen Zeyuan: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

The envoy obviously knew more about the situation of the Great Li Dynasty, and said to Song Ling unhurriedly: "As far as I know, this Prime Minister Song is the father of the Empress Niang, so what is the purpose of your standing up and disagreeing at this time? ”

Shen Zecang, who had been watching from the side before, pinched the wine glass in his hand at this time, thinking to himself: This good show is finally about to start. Then he drank wine leisurely and quietly watched the good scene in front of him.

Song Wanyan had already heard that the minister of the DPRK wanted Shen Zeyuan to abolish the future, but Shen Zeyuan did not agree, she thought that this matter would be settled, but she didn't expect it to be over. Song Wanyan couldn't wait to make Song Shuyan feel bad.

At this time, seeing the envoy of Baiyi Country and his father confronting him, he was very jealous in his heart, his father had not come back for her like this, and now he did not hesitate to offend the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty for Song Shuyan, this Song Shuyan was really a slut, and he hated her a little bit in his heart.

Song Ling was choked by the envoy of the Baiyi Country, and then said: "Who doesn't know that your Baiyi Kingdom has been on the verge of making a move in the past two years, and has formed alliances with border foreign countries to expand its territory. Now I want to marry with our Great Calendar Dynasty, I don't know what my intentions are this time, Your Majesty, you must think twice. ”

Song Shuyan didn't expect her father to stand up and speak for herself, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in her heart, even though she knew that maybe he was not for herself, but for her own rights and family status, but at this time she still felt that her father was really for herself.

The envoys of Baiyi Country were obviously a little weak-hearted by what he said, and Shen Zecang gave a look to several ministers who were usually good friends with him, and motioned for them to go up and "push".

When the ministers saw Shen Zecang's eyes, they immediately understood, and stepped forward to ask Shen Zeyuan: "Your Majesty, according to the ministers' opinion, this matter is feasible, at present, the people of the two countries still have trade contacts, and it can be regarded as a good story to be able to marry at this time." ”

Shen Zeyuan didn't know it, and the implication of his words was: Now there is still a lot of trade between the two countries, and if they really want to start a war at this time, the merchants and people in these cities along the way will definitely be affected by the war and displaced. The cost is enormous.

Another minister also chimed in: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Great Li Dynasty and the Baiyi Kingdom have always been good friends, and marriage is the best choice at this time. ”

The meaning of this sentence is: If the Baiyi Kingdom really wants to raise an army to attack the city at this time, it is the best way to marry their holy daughter now, the holy daughter of the Baiyi Kingdom is high and powerful, and she is the most noble woman in Baiyi, so you can also pinch one of their handles. But how did they know that the current Holy Maiden of the Baiyi Kingdom was an impostor.

"Oh, joke. The marriage between Baiyi and the Great Calendar Dynasty is certainly a beautiful conversation, but now there is no war between the two places, and it is a bit of a waste of the ancestral rituals of my Great Calendar Dynasty to abolish His Majesty's wife because of a mere saint. Another minister said.

The ministers also feel that what he said is very right, now that my Dali Dynasty has enough soldiers and horses, and is not afraid of war, and there is no war yet, I want Your Majesty to abolish the queen, which is not only a waste of the ancestral etiquette, but also makes the people of Baiyi feel that our Dali Dynasty is afraid and dare not fight with them.

After the ministers on Shen Zeyuan's side advocated that it could not be abolished, our dynasty had never made such a ridiculous move, and if the Baiyi Kingdom wanted to marry it, it must be made a noble concubine in accordance with the etiquette of the Great Calendar Dynasty.

The ministers of Shen Zecang's faction insisted on abolishing the queen.
