Chapter 217: A Banquet to Welcome the Three Princes
Qiu Jue remembered Concubine Shu not long ago, who was sent to the Celestial Empire because of her marriage.
It didn't take long for the three princes of Tanglin to want to come here, didn't he want peace between the Celestial Empire and Tanglin?
Or does Tanglin already have the strength to confront the Celestial Empire?
She wanted to see what tricks this Tanglin Three Princes could play?
I saw the three princes of Tanglin stand up, walk to the central position, salute to Moshi and say: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, we don't want to hurt the harmony of the two countries because of the marriage of the concubines. ”
"What the three princes said is right, the country is peaceful, and the people can be happy, and no one wants to hurt the harmony between the two countries." Moshi said calmly.
The third prince said: "Since the emperor said so, it would be great, this time I came here for the marriage, more than a year ago, the Celestial Empire was strong, although the country was not stable, but also because of the emperor's residual power to deter the countries." ”
"In order that we may be united forever, I will marry your country to form a brotherly and friendly nation."
"Now in the eyes of the world, Tanglin will always be short of the sky, but is this really the case?" The third prince looked at everyone as he spoke.
Everyone didn't speak, and the regent looked at Moshi, and then said, "The third prince laughed, since it is a brother country, how can it be divided into high and low?" The strength of your country is also obvious to the world. ”
Prime Minister Zuo also stepped forward and echoed: "What the prince said is right, don't be too careful about the three princes, today's banquet specially prepared for the three princes, I hope to enjoy it." ”
"Humph! In this case, this prince has a request, if your country agrees, then it is really as you said, brotherly countries, no high or low, otherwise there is no sincerity at all, my father and the emperor have made all preparations, and our army has also sharpened its swords. ”
"Hmph, who are you scolding? It's a thing that doesn't know whether it's alive or dead. Qiu Jue was very angry when he heard the words of the third prince.
Mo Shi raised his hand: "Don't be angry, the third prince, you speak first, what we can do must be treated with sincerity, if you don't say it, it's not good for us to make a decision!" ”
The regent nodded: "Yes, third prince, please speak first." ”
The third prince said: "The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty should have heard some news, this prince came here this time to marry, to marry a woman from your Celestial Dynasty and return to the palace, so that it can be regarded as peaceful coexistence." ”
"Haha, what do you think is going on? There are many beauties in our Celestial Empire, don't you know which girl the third prince has fallen in love with? Moshi laughed when he heard this.
The third prince looked around in the back garden, and then pointed to Qiu Jue: "I want to marry her." ”
Everyone gasped when they saw the direction pointed by the third prince, and they all began to discuss.
The smile on Mo Shi's face stiffened a little, and then slowly disappeared, and he said in a cold tone, "Third Prince, do you know who she is?" ”
"Of course you know, isn't she the queen mother of your Celestial Empire?" The third prince is still very arrogant.
Mo Shi said fiercely: "Since you know, then you can't make this kind of joke, for the sake of the Celestial Empire and Tanglin are allies, you can bear whatever you want, but if you are joking with the Queen Mother, don't blame me for being polite." ”
"Really? Is the emperor of your Celestial Empire very powerful? It's okay if you don't agree, then let's go to war, I hope you don't regret it. The third prince said and was about to turn and leave.
Prime Minister Right immediately stopped the three princes: "The three princes, don't worry, this matter is placed on the Son of Heaven of any country, and it is impossible for the entire Heavenly Empire to agree to this, I hope to sit down and talk slowly." ”
The right prime minister came to Moshi again: "Emperor Qi, the third prince is indeed talking too much, as a member of the Celestial Empire, it is impossible to let him mess around, but ......"
"But what?" Inkstone is running out of patience now.
The right prime minister said: "Your Majesty, Tanglin is strong, the territory is the widest, the soldiers are strong and the horses are good at water warfare, no country wants to go to war with it, not to mention that it needs to recuperate now." ”
"If the Queen Mother is willing to marry for the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire will always be grateful to the Empress Dowager."
"Humph! Right Prime Minister, what did you say? Step aside. Moshi said impatiently.
The right prime minister looked at Mo Yu, and then retreated.
At this time, the envoy beside the third prince stepped forward and said: "Emperor of the Heavenly Empire, the third prince has never seen such a good-looking person as the Queen Mother. ”
"Hmmm! After all, there are still people in Tanglin who know etiquette. Moshi nodded slowly, "Messenger, please take a seat." ”
After the envoy sat back, he whispered a few words to the three princes, and the three princes stood up and saluted to the ink stone, although they looked very disdainful on their faces, they still said: "The emperor atoned for his sins, this prince is too anxious, but no one in the Celestial Empire can compare to the queen mother." ”
The third prince said: "We have always said it, and we have never heard the meaning of the Queen Mother." ”
Moshi cast a meaningful look at Qiu Jue, and he told her that she was his alone.
After hearing this, Qiu Jue said: "Since the third prince knows the number of etiquette, he should also understand what the position of the queen mother represents?" Is it not shy away from it that way to let the world look at our Celestial Empire? ”
"The three princes keep saying that the Celestial Empire is equal to Tangling, and now they are making such an excessive request, if they don't agree, they will attack the Celestial Empire, I don't know that Tanglin can put the lives of the people first?"
"Don't forget, the water can carry the boat or overturn the boat, don't let the people be disappointed in Tanglin!" Qiu Jue said loudly.
The third prince didn't know what to say after hearing this, if he had to marry Qiu Jue, it would be disrespectful to the Celestial Empire, such a blasphemy of the Queen Mother, trampling on the Celestial Empire, the emperor could take his life, and maybe it would also make the Tanglin people and other countries see jokes.
If there is really a war, even if they can defeat the Celestial Empire, but in exchange for the people's misery and mourning, he can't afford to take this responsibility.
Seeing the dilemma of the three princes, the ambassador stood up and said: "What the queen mother said is very true, since tonight is for us to pick up the wind and wash the dust, then we don't want to talk about other things, let's discuss this matter again, I don't know if the emperor is willing?" ”
Mo Shi nodded when he heard that the ambassador was not bothering about this matter: "That's it, drink a bar." ”
The envoy asked the third prince to take the wine and toast Moshi, and Moshi did not hesitate to take the wine and drank it all, and then laughed: "Haha, may our two countries become eternal allies." ”
After the third prince finished drinking, he put the wine glass on the table heavily.
Moshi said to Duke Pu: "Duke Pu, let them set off that firework, today the three princes of Tanglin and their envoys came to let them see the fireworks of our Celestial Empire, this kind of fireworks are specially made by our folk masters." ”
When the envoy heard Moshi's words, he saluted Moshi, and then took a glass of wine and drank it.
The envoy said to the three princes: "The three princes can't be in a hurry, otherwise our plan will be wasted, the Celestial Empire is not our opponent at all now, but after years of fighting, it is best if we can recuperate." ”
After the third prince heard the envoy's words, he could only grit his teeth and endure it, he looked at Qiu Jue: "I'm the prince, can't I choose a concubine?" ”
"Third Prince, today we have planted this seed, and when the seed sprouts, we will wait here for their answer, so it is they who are anxious and not us." The envoy whispered.
After hearing this, the third prince actually laughed: "Haha, come, drink, have fun!" ”
Mo Shi and the others saw that the three princes had changed their attitudes, as if what had just happened had not happened, and they all started drinking.
At this moment, there was a loud bang in the sky, and the fireworks dispersed, looking at the fireworks in the sky with flying immortals outside the sky, eight immortals crossing the sea, etc., which made everyone full of praise.
Even the third prince was stunned: "There are still such fireworks in the world?" It's so peculiar. ”
"If the third prince likes it, I can give you a few cars." Moshi said with a smile.
The third prince clenched his fists: "Then thank you to the emperor." ”
Everyone dispersed after the final fireworks fell, and Moshi's face immediately turned gloomy when he saw the three princes and the envoy, as well as the other courtiers leave.
Pu Gonggong came to Moshi's side: "The emperor is cold at night, take care of the dragon's body." ”
Mo Shi stood up and walked towards the imperial study, his heart was completely disturbed, originally as long as he put the Celestial Empire in order and the country and the people were safe, he would be able to be with her forever.
I didn't expect that there would be a third prince now, and he wanted to marry the queen mother as a concubine, what a big joke, he would never agree.
After Qiu Jue returned to the room, she didn't feel a little sleepy, she knew that the current situation could not make the emperor confused, and this was also the time for the development of the Celestial Empire, if she started a war again, I am afraid it would be difficult to recover her vitality.
If that happens, other countries will take advantage of it.
"Miss, you don't have to think about it, I don't think the emperor will agree, and the second son Mo Yu is very powerful in leading troops to fight, we don't have to be afraid of them One Dongling, and they don't dare to start a war." Little Pink said.
Qiu Chan leaned on the door frame with her sword and said: "That's not necessarily, we all know the strength of Tanglin very well, if we really start a war, we may not be able to take advantage." ”
"Yes, but if they really dare to bully the door, our Celestial Empire will definitely not be soft, and we don't know who will kill the deer when the time comes." The blackbird said.
The lark came to Qiu Jue's side: "Miss, don't worry, everything is handled by the emperor and those ministers, they know what to do with these things?" You'd better take care of your body, this time you went to an extremely cold place, and the recovery was very slow. ”
Qiu Jue nodded: "Okay, tomorrow after the emperor goes down to court, let's investigate the situation again, are there any suitable women in our Heavenly Dynasty's princes and ministers who have not yet left the cabinet?" ”
Xiao Taohong shook her head: "It doesn't seem to be too suitable, either you have made a marriage, or you are too young, miss, you can rest assured, the emperor will definitely not let you marry anyone, hehe!" ”
After Qiu Jue heard Xiao Taohong's words, she couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You little girl, you dare to make fun of your young lady." ”
The lark, the blackbird and Qiu Chan couldn't help laughing when they saw it, and the atmosphere at this time was a lot easier.
