Chapter 176: State Banquet Negotiations
After tossing all night, several people naturally didn't sleep well, and on the second day of the state banquet, they all had dark circles under their eyes, especially Fei Guchen.
Although it is said that Tanran has come to pay compensation for the land as a defeated country, the overall situation still has to be sufficient, and the state banquet of Fengguo is extremely grand, which is better than the brothers and sisters who welcome their friends.
"Isn't this for fear that others won't know that the compensation for the land cut-off is coming?" Yu Xi whispered to Feng Yiyang.
Feng Yiyang held hands with her and secretly clenched it.
"See through it, don't say it." He chuckled.
Yu Xi was happy. Although Feng Guo is strong and powerful, he is also atmospheric, but Feng Yiyang and Feng Huaijin's uncles and nephews are narrower than the other in their bones, and they love to watch others eat deflated.
Seeing her smiling like a flower, Feng Yiyang's heart jumped.
It's been so long, and he hasn't gotten used to her beauty, and every time he sees this fox-like delicate and charming face but too cold, his heart will tighten and let go.
It's so beautiful, such a beautiful person, it belongs to him.
Although it was a state banquet, Yu Xi did not dress up deliberately. Not only did he not dress up, but the only two hairpins in his hair were maliciously confiscated by Feng Yiyang, for fear of attracting the attention of others, and someone would stare at his princess again.
Yu Xi made trouble with him, and said, "I am not the only woman in the world, and others are rare if I don't see you", but what he thought in his heart was "It seems that Lao Tzu's beauty depends on those two hairpins", so he went out like this.
Before the state banquet officially began, Yu Xi saw Qu Huaixu and his party again, and was startled when he saw Fei Guchen's dark circles.
"What's wrong with you, such heavy dark circles, kidney loss?" When passing by, Yu Xi couldn't help but tease.
"Although you are a wife, it is not appropriate to make such a joke."
Fei Guchen smiled indulgently, but his mouth was back.
Not to be outdone, Yu Xi said: "I'm a doctor, and it's your health that looks at your health, but it's your own impurity and crankiness." ”
"It's my own lady who is wronged in the lower kidney, and I don't have to worry about the princess." Fei Guchen continued to scold, but there was still a smile in his tone.
After coughing twice, Yu Xi obediently sat down beside Feng Yiyang.
Feng Yiyang reached out and hugged her waist, full of possessiveness.
"Pay attention to the impact, so many people." Yu Xi reminded him in a low voice, his face flushing slightly.
The big hand on her waist tightened, and she pinched it badly, her waist was so thin that she couldn't win a grip, and she was pinched tightly, and it hurt slightly.
Yu Xi glared angrily, and Feng Yiyang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Seeing Yu Xi and Fei Guchen just now, the kid didn't know what he was muttering, Fei Guchen was still smiling so happily, his heart was sour for a while.
The banquet was the same as before, Feng Huaijin sat on the dragon chair in the center, Feng Yiyang Yuxi sat on the left side of Feng Huaijin, and the position on the right side was reserved for the Empress Dowager.
As usual, the Empress Dowager refused to attend on the pretext of being unwell. These days, she seems to be deliberately delegating power and not very involved in court politics.
Especially after Feng Yiyang's wedding, the so-called "knowing son Mo Ruomu", she knows Feng Yiyang too well, and knows that he will slowly release power sooner or later, and let Feng Huaijin be in charge of Fengguo's Jiangshan Sheji alone. Even so, she let go first for Feng Huaijin's sake, so that he could become successful as soon as possible.
The Empress Dowager doesn't look down on Yu Xi, but in her eyes, Yu Xi is the same as Chu Qingci, but Zhiyong Shuangquan will never be a virtuous and prosperous wife, she is unwilling to let her be Feng Yiyang's princess.
Even Fengguo's daughter-in-law came to the palace on the fifteenth day of the first month to invite an attendant of tea, and the empress dowager also exempted Yu Xi, on the surface, she was afraid of Yu Xi's hard work, but she was naturally too lazy to see her.
Yu Xi was already worried about the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the court, and seeing that the Empress Dowager was too lazy to see her, she was happy to be at ease.
Feng Huaijin and Feng Yiyang Yuxi sat in the middle, on the left hand side was the tanned Qu Huai Xuyi Jie Jie, and on the right hand side were the courtiers of the Feng Kingdom. Although the Fengguo Kingdom is a dynasty that has not been seen in the history books of Yuxi, the etiquette is very similar to that of ancient China.
As a hostage, Qu Cangming sat on the right side of the seat with Chang'an Shen Lunong, and when he saw Qu Huaixu and his party, he just nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth were hooked, full of pride and disdain, Qu Huaixu knew that the assassination of Qu Cangming was exposed, and he was a little stupid for a while, nodding slightly in return, and did not greet him.
"I am willing to use three cities, 10,000 cattle and sheep, 50,000 taels of gold, and 30,000 acres of fertile land in exchange for the safe return of the second prince." Donnie Yen is in charge of Tanran's foreign affairs, the equivalent of a diplomat in the 21st century. Naturally, he will come forward in the negotiations.
The conditions given by Tanran are reasonable, after all, in the past, there were only cities and fields, and this year there are cattle, sheep and money, which is not too petty.
This is also Qu Hengzhi and Qu Huaixu showing their attitude to Qu Cangming: We must want to take people back, and Lei Wanjun's assassination has nothing to do with us.
Feng Guo's negotiation Shi Zhu Ziqing's eyes swept back and forth on Feng Huaijin and Feng Yiyang's faces, hoping that the emperor and the regent Jiu Qiansui could give a clear indication.
This condition was already unexpected by Feng Huaijin, he knew that he used two cities to exchange for Hulan Cheng back then, and now although Qu Cangming is the prince, he is also the chief general of the army, and he ransomes him with three cities plus cattle and sheep, money and 30,000 acres of land, which is much more than Feng Huaijin imagined.
He seemed to be silent, but his eyes glanced at Feng Yiyang and his wife, wanting to see what it meant.
Feng Yiyang had intended to let Feng Huaijin be the master, and seeing that the conditions given by Tanran were quite generous, he naturally had no objections.
Yu Xi looked at the two men, one big and one small, knowing that the two of them were satisfied with this condition, he slowly dusted his sleeves and said: "Which three cities are there, how big are the cattle and sheep, and where the land is, dare to call it a good field, let's hear it." ”
Tanran has been nomadic for generations, where is there any fertile land that can grow crops. Feng Huaijin and Feng Yiyang are both nobles, and they still don't know so much about farming. She has been a commoner for thirty-four years in her two lives combined, and she still understands.
As soon as Yu Xi said this, everyone looked at each other, they were ready to be checked and interrogated by the Emperor of Fengguo and the regent, but this princess should not be underestimated.
"As far as the foreign ministers know, Fengguo has always had a national law harem that is not allowed to interfere in politics, but I didn't expect Princess Jing to be an exception."
Yang Duan was humiliated in King Jing's Mansion the day before, and today he is bent on getting it back, and Yu Xi is interfering in politics, which is a good time for him to make trouble.
Yu Xi didn't know that he was deliberately sarcastic, and sneered in his heart. Before he could speak, Gong Chengyun, who was as calm as water on the right side, grabbed Bai and said: "Gong Yuxi is a general in our army, and our army has won a great victory Gong Yuxi has contributed a lot, so he naturally has the right to speak." ”
Yu Xi almost forgot about her brother's appointment of her acting general, but she didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.
