Chapter 36: The Envoys

Because this banquet was presided over by Empress Xun, the monarch of Qi gave her the power of "host" -- she could speak past him, entertain guests, send eunuchs or palace maids, etc., while he himself "willingly" acted as a "green leaf" and did not interfere.

Dressed in colorful clothes, dignified and elegant, Queen Xun sat beside Qi Guojun with a smile, and glanced at Murong Jin who was lower, and the condescending sense of looking down has never been as strong as it is today, and even hate to step on it.

"Princess Murong Jin, today's banquet is all stained with Your Majesty's light in this palace," Queen Xun turned her face away, and smiled charmingly at Qi Guojun, that sweet and soft voice was really Su to the bones of people, and then turned back and said, "The day before yesterday, Your Majesty set up a celebration banquet for General Jin, and the palace thought that the princess was also Your Majesty's honored guest, and she should have a formal banquet, so she implored Your Majesty to personally host a banquet to welcome Princess Jin, which is also to share your Majesty's worries, and I was worried that Princess Jin would think that this banquet hosted by this palace was not good enough and refused to attend, Now it seems that Hongu is overthinking. ”

A very ordinary polite words came out of Queen Xun's mouth, but how awkward it sounded, it made people panic.

Murong Jin got up and replied unhurriedly: "The queen mother is the lord of the six palaces, and she is feasting a little foreign person, what 'specifications' do you need to talk about?" The little woman Rong said bluntly, don't say that it is such a feast, it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and the little woman will come by order, or how dare she disobey and not come? Queen, you are indeed too worried. ”

Murong Jin's slap was loud enough, and the smile on Queen Xun's face did not change, and a touch of ruthlessness was fleeting under her narrow phoenix eyes.

"It's good that Princess Jin doesn't mind," Queen Xun smiled slightly, with kind eyebrows, "You have been in Daqi Country for nearly half a year, I believe you have become more and more accustomed to and familiar with Daqi, I wonder if everything here can be liked by the princess?" ”

"Back to the queen, don't dare not dislike it!" Murong Jin replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, a pun.

Empress Xun suppressed the evil anger in her heart and said with a smile: "Princess Murong is really super adaptable, and this palace is really salty and eats radishes and worries lightly, so in the future, this palace can put a hundred hearts." ”

Murong Jin just smiled faintly and said that he would return the salute, but he was a little anxious in his heart: Murong Hui said that he would assist her in taking the lives of the envoys of the Yue Kingdom, why has there been no sign of making a move until now, when will he do it? !

"Louvre has seen Princess Murong," Louvre's slightly flirtatious voice sounded in the hall, "look up for a long time." ”

Murong Jin and everyone's eyes looked towards the source of the sound together, and saw Lu Fu, dressed in strange costumes, standing in place with a bow, describing the five big and three thick, but the roe head rat seemed to feel good about himself, and frequently cast a "friendly light" to Murong Jin.

Murong Jin only glanced at it hurriedly, then lowered his eyelids and said, "The little woman is just a captive, how can He De let you know and even 'look up for a long time'?" ”

"Ben...... I have admired Princess Murong Jin for a long time, and before you became a 'distinguished guest' of the Qi Kingdom, "Although Lu Fu said vaguely, he did not mention the death of Xie, but the word "honorable guest" was extremely humiliating, Murong Jin clenched the hand in his sleeve, his eyes were cold, and Queen Xun finally showed a satisfied and vicious smile.

Seeing that Murong Jin's face was getting worse and worse, Queen Xun woke up as if in a dream:

"Look at the memory of this palace, I forgot to introduce to the princess, these are envoys from the Yue country, during the service to Your Majesty, I heard that the famous Princess Murong Jin is also in our court, so I begged for permission to participate in this banquet, to see the princess's beauty and demeanor, I forgot to inform the princess in advance when I was busy preparing for the banquet, and I asked the princess to forgive me."

"The queen mother and the envoy Lu have a reputation," Murong Jin doesn't want to depreciate himself this time, since this one in front of him will eventually turn into ashes, what is he polite, "Fang Cai is still wondering why the envoy would say 'admire' the little woman for a long time, and now I remember that one year the Yue Kingdom invaded the Xie Kingdom, the little woman went out with her brother, and after a few battles, the Yue Kingdom fled in the wilderness, and retreated in embarrassment, presumably the Lu envoy knew the little woman's 'prestige' at that time. ”

From time to time, snickering sounded in the Weiyang Palace, and the faces of several Yue envoys turned the color of pig liver, and their dead fish-like eyes bulged out, glaring at Murong Jin viciously. And Louvre only had a hint of gloom between his eyebrows, and instantly hummed with relief and smiled:

"Princess Murong is really a generation of heroines, I thought I would see a princess who was described as emaciated, mentally depressed, and depressed, but after entering the Weiyang Palace and seeing the princess, I realized that I was wrong - Tianzi and country, peerless, round and jade, and imposing like a rainbow, I thought that Princess Murong must be 'happy' under the kindness of Daqi's Zhao'an," Louvre paused, pulled his lips and sneered, "But after listening to the princess's words, I suddenly regretted that I was really wrong, Princess Murong never forgot the past glory of Xieguo, Don't forget your past in Xie's country--what's 'not to think about', it's clear that it's-"

"Envoy Lu, please use tea," as if a sharp weapon suddenly cleaved, Qi Guojun slowly but decisively interjected, "After saying so long, I must be thirsty, and it is not too late to have a cup of tea to moisten my throat." ”

Louvre heard the sarcasm and warning in Fu Xuan's words, so he had to sit down with a dry smile, and drank tea and wine.

"Your Majesty is really careful and thoughtful, this palace is ashamed," Empress Xun was waiting for Lu Fu's words, but unfortunately she was cut in half before she finished speaking, and she was angry at Fu Mian's protection of Murong Jin, and the smile on her face was still the same, "Princess Murong also please use tea." ”

Murong Jin returned the salute and sat down, didn't drink the tea, just touched her lips with the porcelain cup and put it down, thinking that it was good that the monarch of Qi was not a suspicious person, otherwise it would be even more difficult for her to act in this Daqi Palace in the future, she finally understood where the trap of this banquet was, and why Murong Hui killed a few envoys of the Yue Kingdom, maybe there was some agreement between Queen Xun and the Yue Kingdom! Before thinking about it, Murong Jin decided to take the initiative to lead the snake out of the hole, and as soon as the thought came out, Murong Jin immediately stood up, faced Fu Mian and Queen Xun, and said: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, the little girl implores you to go out for a 'convenient'." ”

Fu Mian agreed, and not long after Murong Jin and Hongxing withdrew from Weiyang Palace, Empress Xun squinted in the direction of the envoys of the Yue Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother," Lu Fu stood up and said apologetically with a smile on his face, "The wine and wine are intoxicating, and it is also unavoidable that there are 'three urgency's. ”

"Go ahead," Fu Mian said coldly, "It's dark, find someone to follow." ”

Louvre thanked the monarch of Qi Guojun and was led out of Weiyang Palace by a eunuch.

The thatched house of Weiyang Palace walked in the corridor of the east and west walls, and Murong Jin and Hongxing walked on the road with lanterns.

"Princess, there seems to be someone in the back, be careful." The red apricot attached to Murong Jin's ear, whispering vigilantly.
