Chapter 57-2: Broken Hair (Part II)
"Oh?" King Jing seemed a little surprised, "The princess also prepared a gift?" ”
"Not bad!" He stood up suddenly, raised his hands, and presented a golden knife in front of everyone. My gaze swept lightly, my lips pursed tightly, the golden knife was the one I returned to Ouray on the grassland. It also brought it, it seems that this time Oulei's envoy, in addition to congratulating the emperor on his birthday, really had other thoughts, not a whim. I looked at Uray steadily, and when he saw Qiqige take out the golden knife, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and then he frowned and scolded: "Bao'er, don't mess around!" Put the knife away! ”
Qiqige glanced at Ulei, ignored his scolding, and looked at King Jing with a smile and was silent, the knife was presented to her hand end-to-end, and the colored gems on the scabbard reflected the brilliant pearlescent light in the sun. "This is ......" King Jing was slightly stunned, and there were already courtiers on the side who were showing off their knowledge and offering treasures, "Lord Jianguo, this is the golden knife that symbolizes bravery, ability and wisdom at the Yaoyue Kingdom Horse Racing Conference, and the most heroic Baturu on the grassland can take this knife." ”
"This lord is so knowledgeable!" Qi Qige's eyes rolled slightly, and he called the guards beside him, and what he said next was very meaningful, "Don't present the knife to Lord Jianguo yet." ”
Urey's face was pale, and he glared at him fiercely, but he couldn't attack in front of everyone. Because King Jing had already smiled and said, "Okay, Xuanhu, present it to this king!" ”
In the Imperial Palace, except for the Ouchi guards, no one else in the palace is allowed to bring a knife into the palace. The people they brought with them were not allowed to wear knives, and this golden knife was not allowed to be hidden in her body and brought into the palace, presumably because of her noble status that made people dare not search carefully. King Jing would not let her guards get close to the knife, so he called his henchman guards to go down and take the knife. King Jing took the golden knife, looked at it for a long time, pulled out half of it, under the sun, the blade flashed coldly, King Jing smiled: "What a beautiful knife." ”
Qi Qige said proudly: "This is a golden knife that has been sealed by the Immortal Heaven, and my third brother brought it to your country in the hope of giving this knife to Attila in his heart." Lord Supervisor, your country is a country of etiquette and pleasure, and you will not let us return with regrets, right? ”
My eyelids jumped, but I didn't expect to stabilize King Jing and stop mentioning forced marriage, but I couldn't help it. I looked at her lightly, she glanced at me with unwillingness and resentment in her eyes, slightly stunned, I have been in contact with this little princess back and forth for two or three times, and I have no deep friendship, why does she hate me so much? I only listened to King Jing and said: "Listening to Her Royal Highness the Princess's words, could it be that Her Royal Highness the Prince has any regrets?" The words were said to Qi Qige, but King Jing's gaze turned to me with a smile, and I was expressionless and looked at me coldly. I just laughed and said, "Lord Jianguo won't know it, right?" Now everyone in the capital of your country knows that my third brother has a soft spot for Mrs. Ronghua. The prince is not as good as the beauty of sincerity and benevolence, and he will give this golden knife to Mrs. Ronghua, and fulfill the good relationship between my Yaoyue Kingdom and Tianyao Kingdom! ”
King Jing looked at his character and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, 'the sword is given to the hero', and Mrs. Ronghua is the husband of the woman, and she deserves the golden sword of His Royal Highness the Prince." But ......" his eyes flickered, his eyes fell on me, and he smiled: "Mrs. Ronghua's status is extraordinary, her marriage is inconvenient for even the emperor, and she has opened Chrysostom, and she needs the consent of Mrs. herself. After speaking, he inserted the golden knife back into the scabbard, but did not let his subordinates return it, but gently put it on the desk.
I was silent, sneering in my heart, act, act, see what else you can perform. Knowing that I have the emperor's Chrysostom to protect me, and I have just formed an alliance of interests with you, although I will not really agree to it, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to deliberately sell my personal favor to me, which is really shameless. Seeing that my face was not good, Wu Lei hurriedly said: "The prince misunderstood, although Wu Lei admires Mrs. Ronghua, but he knows that Mrs. Rong has a deep affection for her deceased husband, and she never dares to rashly use a golden knife to easily surprise Mrs., and her sister is reckless, please don't worry about her!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince's words are wrong." A court official didn't understand the situation in front of him, and said loudly, "Heroes and beauties have always achieved good stories. His Royal Highness the Prince is heroic, Mrs. Ronghua is elegant and virtuous, and she is a talented woman, she is a good couple, how can she be abrupt? ”
I watched coldly, these court officials didn't know that King Jing and I had reached an alliance of interests, and they would definitely help King Jing to tie up with Ulei, what a bunch of fools. The other court official said: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince is the prince of Yaoyue Kingdom, and Mrs. Ronghua is the first-class wife of my emperor's seal, which can be described as a comparable status and a ...... family."
Status: Equivalent? Marry your daughter to the grassland with the title of a princess, isn't her identity also comparable? I sneered in my heart, but my face was still calm. Another official said: "It is really a match made in heaven, the marriage between the two countries can promote friendly diplomatic relations between countries more than opening border trade, and Mrs. Ronghua is highly virtuous, and can be described as the messenger of the prosperous culture of our dynasty, and will be able to bring a new look to the grassland......"
What about my Peace Ambassador? And what about Athena, who still holds an olive branch? I looked coldly at the ugly faces of these men in front of me, and listened to the gossip of the court officials with an expressionless face. These court officials, as ministers, do not know how to use their own talents to stabilize the country, and for their own selfish interests, they can buy and sell innocent women as livestock goods, let a weak woman sell her body in exchange for peace between the two countries, in exchange for their own comfort, and find some high-sounding reasons for their ugly behavior, don't these men feel ashamed? What's even funnier is, why are they? Why do you think I should be at their mercy? It's ridiculous!
Everyone who was talking was secretly watching my expressions, but my calmness made them feel weak and uneasy, and their voices involuntarily changed from big to small. I looked at Ulei, and I was really a little annoyed in my heart, Ulei, Ulei, you did this scene, did you really think that I would rely on you? However, I didn't see the smugness in his eyes, only a trace of helplessness and a little begging for forgiveness, and I was stunned, and then I understood that this farce may not have anything to do with him, but I am afraid that his brutal sister is making a private claim, but the arrow is already on the string, and things have reached this point, he can neither reprimand him in front of everyone, nor can he follow her nonsense, and it is also a dilemma for a while. The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, it seems that I still have to be this ugly person by myself? It's just that I have made your face ugly, no wonder I, after all, it was your sister surnamed Ren who provoked it first. He seemed to read the meaning in my gaze, and smiled slightly, with a hint of banter in his eyes, but his face calmed down, while I understood the smile in his eyes that was playful. I smiled in my heart, it seems that everyone is a spectator of the play.
