Chapter 213: Remember the Entrustment
This time to welcome Tuoba Yun, the emperor not only asked Li Han to receive him as the eldest princess, but even allowed Li Han to use the people of Huayun Pavilion to prepare the dishes for this banquet, which can be regarded as letting Li Han take full responsibility for this matter.
After all, being able to make dishes at this kind of royal banquet is an excellent opportunity for Huayun Pavilion, not only can he take this opportunity to promote Huayun Pavilion, but he may also be able to develop his Huayun Pavilion to the Western Regions through Tuoba Yun.
Thinking of this, Li Han couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, after all, this kind of good thing is not something that can be encountered every time, you can develop Huayun Pavilion to various countries, not only can you expand your own power, but the most important thing is to be able to make more money, this is what Li Han is most concerned about, after all, who would dislike having more money.
"When you cook, you must be cautious, this banquet is not an ordinary banquet, if something goes wrong, it will definitely fall to the ground, even if it is me, I can't protect you, do you know?" Li Han said solemnly to the people in the imperial dining room in front of him.
Of course, everyone knows the seriousness of this matter, and if everything goes well, it will be glorious, and if there is a business trip, it will be full of beheading, so these people should be cautious, after all, no one will joke with their lives, so they replied in unison: "The princess's entrustment must be remembered, please rest assured!" ”
Li Han nodded with satisfaction, after all, whether her Huayun Pavilion can go out of the Li Kingdom and go to the Western Regions depends on this performance, Li Han suddenly thought of one thing: "By the way, you must remember when you cook, you can't put lemons, the three princesses of the Western Regions are allergic to lemons, and the border envoy specially explained, if there are lemons in the dishes you prepare or lemons are added to the flavoring, they will be removed for me, and you must try the dishes before serving, just in case!" ”
Li Han had good intentions for this banquet, and specially went to the envoys of the Western Regions, and asked them about Tuoba Yun's taste preferences and whether there were any taboos, etc., after all, prevention is better than prevention, but fortunately, Li Han's preparation was not in vain, so she knew the news.
"The third princess of the Western Regions, Tuoba Yun, see Your Majesty!" Tuoba Yun came to the palace and saluted the emperor respectfully.
"The third princess has been tired and hard working all the way, Li and the Western Regions are friends, since you are here, we will take good care of you, you should treat Li as your own home, if there is anything that you don't take care of, or if you encounter any trouble that can't be handled, you can find me, I will definitely help you!" The emperor said politely.
In fact, the emperor didn't look down on the Western Regions at all, just as the people of the Central Plains felt that the Western Regions were all barbaric and reckless, and the Emperor of Li Guo thought the same, on the surface, it was just to give the Western Regions a face, after all, about the friendship between the two countries, superficial efforts and polite words still have to be done.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your love!" Tuoba Yun turned his hand and waved his hand, and a group of maids from the Western Regions walked up behind him: "Your Majesty, these are all tributes from our Western Regions to the Li Kingdom, in order to ensure that our two countries have always coexisted harmoniously and helped each other, please also ask Your Majesty to smile!" ”
"These tributes have our unique medicinal materials and some rare treasures in the Western Regions, which are not common in the Central Plains, and there are also some cloths, which are woven by the people of our Western Regions in a shuttle, although they are not as varied as the Central Plains cloth, smooth and delicate, but they are still extremely light and comfortable to wear......
Tuoba Yun introduced the tributes paid by the Western Regions to the Li State for the emperor one by one, looking at so many tributes, the emperor smiled: "The king of the Western Regions really has a heart, the Li State and the Western Regions have been friends for a hundred years, and they will definitely continue to be friendly and harmonious in the future!" So saying, he let the tributes be carried down.
After all, the more tribute, the more you can see the sincerity of the king of the Western Regions to the Li country, and the greater the sincerity, the stronger the Li country, so the emperor is naturally happy.
"Third princess, since you have come to our Li country, do you want to consider our men in the Central Plains, different from the roughness of the Western Regions, our men in the Central Plains are also dashing, all of them are extraordinary, definitely not worse than you men in the Western Regions!"
The emperor naturally has his own ideas when he says this, and the marriage between the two countries is the best way to promote friendly relations between the two countries, although it is not impossible for the Li State to directly send troops to attack the Western Regions, but this is not very good for the reputation of the Li State, and the war is too laborious and costly, which is easy to lead to the boiling of public resentment, which is not what the Emperor of the Li State wants to see.
Therefore, harmony is the best choice, you can firmly control the Western Regions without spending a single soldier, and leave the three princesses who are the most favored by the king of the Western Regions in the Li Kingdom, you are not afraid that he will not comply, ruthless is the most emperor's family, as an emperor, thinking about all aspects, and choosing the best solution from it.
Tuoba Yun originally refused, but she saw Lu Yuan next to Lu Li at a glance, the two of them looked so similar, but this person and Lu Li gave people a completely different feeling, which made Tuoba Yun have an inexplicable impulse, she couldn't say this feeling herself, but her intuition told her that this person should be the "him" she had been looking for.
Tuoba Yun changed his mind and said to the emperor: "Since Your Majesty has said so, Tuoba Yun will not refuse, then I will marry him!" Tuoba Yun pointed his finger at Lu Yuan.
Looking in the direction of Tuoba Yun's finger, the emperor said with a little surprise: "Lu Li? The emperor's face changed greatly: "Lu Li can't do it, he already has a marriage contract with my eldest princess Li Han, and he can't marry you!" ”
Tuoba Yun shook his head: "Your Majesty, I'm not talking about Lu Li, it's the person next to him!" ”
As soon as Tuoba Yun's words came out, Lu Yuan was also surprised, he was originally forced to come by Lu Li, that is, to accompany Lu Li to hang out, he didn't expect that he would be favored by the three princesses of the Western Regions, and he was a little flattered.
Lu Li looked at Tuoba Yun's expression, felt that she didn't seem to be joking, stepped forward, blocked in front of Lu Yuan, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this person Lu Yuan is my new personal guard recently, he has strong martial arts and unparalleled strategy, and has become my right-hand man, I believe he will definitely be able to protect the third princess!" ”
Although he heard Lu Li say this, the emperor still felt a little strange, it was always inappropriate for the princess of the Western Regions to marry a guard of unknown origin, after all, this is a matter of friendly relations between the two countries, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.
However, before the emperor could speak, Tuoba Yun spoke first: "Your Majesty, this is my marriage, I want to have a good talk with this person named Lu Yuan, and please allow Your Majesty!" ”
Although Tuoba Yun was talking to the emperor, her eyes were staring at Lu Yuan all the time, as if she wanted to see flowers on his body, and Lu Yuan also felt a little stunned by her staring.
