Chapter 54: The Debate Competition

It was just some basic polite ceremonies for the diplomatic relations between the two countries, Antuya smiled and praised it to her face, and then turned her eyes back and ignored it, but found that Wei Xuanmo's eyes had been following the woman who had just entered the banquet.

She thought in her heart, and immediately sat down in a chic posture, and said again: "The women of the Celestial Empire are really capable, but the joy of the boudoir can also be so admirable." ”

Boudoir delights? How harsh this sounds. Yue Yao frowned.

Qi Nanshan also heard that something was wrong with Antuya's words, and asked, "What did the princess say this?" ”

"Jokes." Antuya was stunned, pretended to break her promise, and prepared to cover up with haha.

Her behavior made people think more carefully about the deep meaning of her words, and the ministers at the table also talked about it one after another.

"Since it's a joke, why don't you talk about it?" Qi Nanshan wouldn't let her go over like this.

The first emperor also noticed this scene, and did not stop Qi Nanshan.

Antuya glanced at the emperor on the throne with a slight apology, and then explained, and said in an extremely proud tone: "Our women in the Western Regions are all versatile, can sing and dance, can fight and kill enemies on the battlefield, and can herd horses and sheep on the grassland, and you ......" She paused, and looked at Yue Yao back and forth with disgust, and with a hint of teasing, "It seems that she can only work and farm, and she is weak and powerless, even if she wants to make a career, such as being like this chef, she will only make a fuss about housework." ”

Antuya's words resounded word by word in the Changyin Pavilion, the emperor's smile stiffened at the corner of his mouth, the sound of silk and bamboo gradually stopped, and the dancing girl also quietly withdrew under the guidance of the eunuch Li Yide's eyes.

Seeing the ever-changing expressions of everyone at the table, Yu Jiang frowned and looked at Antuya, got up and put his hands on his chest to salute the emperor, his voice was rough and loud: "The emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty please, Princess Tuya is reckless for a while, and has no intention of offending, please forgive the emperor." ”

The words of pleading echoed in the ears of every minister, but they did not stir up the slightest wave, Antuya still held her head high fearlessly, and the emperor's face did not soften.

"The grasslands of the Western Regions are vast, and women are all familiar with horseback riding and archery, and I have heard of it a little, but I am not weak against women." The emperor smiled and looked at Antuya on the table, but the smile on his face did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

Clear-eyed people know that the emperor has something to say, so that Yu Jiang has been giving Antuya a little restraint, but she still seems to be a strong temper, the kind that ten cows can't pull back, she stood up and replied: "I have always admired the culture of the Celestial Empire, but I have also studied the customs and festivals of the Celestial Empire. ”

"The woman's husband and son are the avenue in my court, three guards and sixty lines, and the line is the champion, not like the princess thinks that my court woman will achieve nothing." Qi Nanshan retorted.

The ministers nodded in agreement when they heard this.

Antuya was not afraid, and raised her voice: "Who said that women must have husbands and children, we grassland women can also be as famous as men!" She spoke proudly, with her own spirit in her chest, and shook her head as she spoke, "The women of the Celestial Empire are very different, they can only stay at home to teach their husbands and children, cook and farm, and it is useless!" ”

She looked at Yue Yao and asked with a serious face: "Are you like this, why are you women of the Celestial Empire willing to endure this kind of life?" "He looked innocent, as if he didn't know what he had just said.

All four were shocked.

Yu Jiang's heart also jumped, and he couldn't wait to block Antuya's mouth.

The emperor was about to slap the table and get up, only to hear Qi Nanshan's face of indignation, and he was about to reply, but was blocked by Antuya's mouth and said: "Men and women are different, no matter how eloquent they are, they can't empathize. ”

This is clearly a battle with Yueyao.

The eyes of the audience converged on herself, and Yue Yao felt that Alexander, in fact, in terms of conscience, she also envied Antuya's chic and self-entertaining lifestyle of riding horses and archery, but if she admitted that she had to reject and eliminate another life for no reason, it would be a big mistake.

"Princess Tuya is only partially right." Yue Yao smiled slightly, not intimidated by Antuya's momentum, and calmed down, "Even if you grassland women ride horses and shoot arrows, you are very happy, and you have the pleasure and enmity of the children of the rivers and lakes, and we are also envious." ”

Speaking of this, she deliberately stopped talking, and sure enough, she saw Antuya smile in victory, and she sighed in her heart, I don't know if I want to suppress it first, this is still but. Halfway through the words, he was triumphant, and it seemed that he was not his opponent at all.

She continued, "But we also deserve to be envied by you. We have the ability to weave beautiful clothes by hand, we can also make delicious dishes, we can also let our husbands and children make their own husbands and daughters, every successful man has a successful woman behind him, don't princesses understand this truth? ”

Qi Nanshan smiled dumbly, and the emperor and the ministers also smiled much more calmly as if they were relieved.

"Sophistry, my father is heroic, and my mother will not stay at home as weak and incompetent as you, but only do some work to make clothes and cook." Antuya immediately retorted.

Yue Yao laughed after hearing this, "What the princess said is very true, you are a nation on horseback, and my dynasty naturally can't compare with it in this regard." But," she said after bowing to the emperor, she continued, "the Western Regions have paid tribute to my emperor with horses, cattle and sheep, and my emperor has returned the gift of gold and silk, and as far as I know, silk is exactly what your country lacks, right?" ”

Antuya couldn't help but tug at the corners of her clothes, the clothes on her body were made of the best Yunjin, and the Western Regions didn't have this weaving technique at all. It was this question that she opened her mouth slightly and couldn't speak.

The envoy on the side also glanced at Antuya, the envoy abroad represents the face of the country, and the face she lost is the face of the Western Regions.

"That's all knitted by our women, if we don't do this, then everyone in the world will have to run naked, right?"

As soon as Yue Yao's words fell, the people present at the table laughed, and the stiff atmosphere was broken at once.

Wei Xuanmo lowered his eyes and smiled when he saw this, Yue Yao had a lot of ideas and could tell a lot of truths, he knew that Yue Yao was not so easy to admit defeat, and he ran naked, and she came up with it.

Yue Yao waited for everyone to laugh, and then slowly added: "Of course, we will only do this kind of trivial things of weaving and cooking, and those who go into battle to kill the enemy are not as good as the women of the Western Regions, we can only rely on me to shed blood and tears, they are well-deserved heroes!" ”

At this point, Wei Xuanmo left his position, stood up, and arched his hand and said, "Please reward the frontier soldiers." ”
