Chapter 256: The Emperor Who Met for the First Time
"Naturally, I don't doubt Madame's mind, it's just that the form is compelling, and I also believe that Madame has such an ability, she can do it."
Speaking of which, since Su Jiao came to this world, it was opened with an acting, and pretending to be crazy and stupid is naturally a compulsory course in acting, and it is not difficult for Su Jiao, but after being sworn by Xiao Huai'an like this and confidently said it, the feeling between them has changed a little.
"This fool, of course, is very simple, compared to acting, I can easily do it compared to anyone else. But I have to emphasize a few more words to you, don't think that I am acting in my true colors, and don't look at me with such eyes, I always feel weird. ”
"Admittedly." Su Jiao pursed her mouth, although she didn't look very happy, but in order to become a big person, Su Jiao had to wronged herself first.
However, it would be good if she didn't specifically point it out, so she emphasized it so specifically, and when she looked at Xiao Huai'an's meaningful smile, it made Su Jiao's already unhappy mood become more and more depressed.
Su Jiao hummed and bit her lower lip, don't look over her head, this delicate appearance, seeing Xiao Huai'an's heart becoming more and more unbearable, she couldn't help but stand up, and quietly held back all her emotions by watching the dusk outside.
Then, after the morning star on the horizon became brighter and brighter, the palace was finally coming, and the petite sedan chair invited Xiao Huai'an and a few of them to enter the palace to attend the banquet.
Speaking from ancient times to the present, whether it is to express sincerity, or to ask someone to do something, the interpersonal communication is all based on the meal, which can be solved together, but the shape of the sedan chair carried out in the palace is too peculiar.
Not to mention the boxy, it is difficult for people to raise their heads to go in, so they can only grit their teeth and endure the pain from the stiff legs that have not been stretched for a long time, waiting for these four vain uniforms to be carried into the palace staggeringly.
Su Jiao furrowed her brows, looked out through the curtains, and even envied Mu Hibiscus and Mu Rong who could walk freely next to the sedan chair.
Finally, I don't know how long I walked, Su Jiao took several deep breaths in the sedan chair one after another, and the sedan chair finally stopped, Xiao Huai'an was very gentlemanly and helped Su Jiao up from the sedan chair.
It's strange to say that he has sat with such a strong body for so long, and there is nothing to do at all.
Su Jiao pursed his mouth, if it weren't for his image in front of outsiders, but he wouldn't have endured the discomfort on his feet so hard, he held Xiao Huai'an tightly with one hand, and kept his mouth closed all the way, so as not to moan accidentally.
"Lord and Madame, please come over here, there is the library of the palace and the Yu Garden, and this is the reception banquet prepared by His Majesty for the two of you."
When Su Jiao was dizzy for a while, I don't know when, yesterday's Mrs. Park came to her at the right time.
With a smile on his face, he briefly explained and then walked in front of him as a leader, Xiao Huai'an took advantage of the fact that he didn't look at this side and whispered a few more words to Su Jiao.
"I feel better now, and after a while, remember to smile a little more so that I don't miss out."
"Of course I know that, and I'm not stupid. Don't talk! Although the feeling on her feet felt much better, Su Jiao's irritable mood did not ease at all, but because of Xiao Huai'an's reminder, it was as if the fuse was ignited.
Xiao Huai'an gave her a pause, and it was difficult to say anything later, so she had to close her mouth and lead her to follow behind Mrs. Park.
Seeing this, Liang Xin was also stunned, not knowing why Su Jiao suddenly lost her temper, while Mu Hibiscus and Murong on the other side could understand one or two, and they both laughed quietly in the back a few times unceremoniously.
"Today, in order to welcome the arrival of the two, my majesty also specially invited the Chinese military officials of the DPRK and the local resurrection to the banquet together, which can be described as an unprecedented grand occasion, and I also invite the two to enjoy this banquet well."
As he spoke, Mrs. Park happened to have walked in front of a courtyard gate that was naturally more modest than the Daze Palace. Su Jiao immediately resisted Fang Cai's anxious mood, put on a dignified smile, and nodded politely.
Then I saw that this Mrs. Park pushed open the courtyard door, Su Jiao poked her eyes and took a look inside, and found that everyone's seats were actually arranged in the open air.
"This ......" Su Jiao almost blurted out under the difference, but fortunately she held back in time, and Mu Hibiscus and Mu Rong behind her also didn't understand what kind of strange custom this was.
However, although it is indeed a little strange to say that the banquet is arranged in the open air on this big night, but then again, each of these seats has been specially renovated, and there is a simple wooden pavilion on it, which looks quite charming.
The seating platform below is also like a simple small palace, and the positions of the master and slave are layered and clear, which is also very convenient for watching the performance.
But the only bad thing is that if someone leaves their seat halfway, it is easy to attract the attention of others.
Su Jiao withdrew her gaze, and Xiao Huai'an beside her didn't have any other expression, it seemed that it was completely expected by him. As soon as Mrs. Park made a gesture to invite in, Su Jiao hurriedly put Fang Cai's polite and polite smirk on her face.
"Master Taifu, you can be regarded as coming, if it is any later, we don't know who to talk to."
As soon as he entered the door, a big-bellied old man with a very good appearance walked over and took the initiative to say hello.
Although it is said that Nankang is more beautiful, not everyone is the peak of appearance, at least Su taught them to come all the way, and they didn't see many handsome guys and beauties, but fortunately, they are all quite passable, but the brightly dressed old man in front of him is very ingenious in dress and appearance.
Because his body is too heavy, he has a horizontal face, and his skin is still oily and slippery.
The dress is also a little vulgar, which highlights the tyrant temperament of his daily life, especially the small square left in the middle of the person under the nose, and the beard looks more and more laughable and unappreciative.
Su Jiao couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly, and her fake smile couldn't help but want to burst out.
"Lord Sunshang, it's too much for you to talk like this." Mrs. Park waved his hand embarrassedly, and then started a conversation with the old man in front of him, and you blow each other in business.
Xiao Huai'an took advantage of Mrs. Park's lack of time, and ignored his own side to sweep all the people at the banquet, as well as the setting position of the performance stage, and judged the order of getting on and off the stage, and suddenly saw Su Jiao next to him, and the smile on his face developed more and more in the direction of the robot standard.
He raised his eyebrows, and then noticed that the people in the seats in front of him had already cast their eyes here, so he gently stabbed Su Jiao with his hand.
"Laugh at it."
"Aren't you laughing?" Su Jiao gritted her teeth and squeezed out this sentence from between her teeth like a ventriloquist.
"Have a good laugh."
"My heart is already blooming."
"Show it."
"By the way, Lord Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, I haven't had time to introduce to you this old man of the sun, the head of the three imperial merchants of my country, the fireworks on the sun, very valued by His Majesty, I have heard of the two names for a long time, so I came to visit."
"Hahaha." Mrs. Park had just finished the introduction, just in time for Su Jiao to laugh out loud for Xiao Huai'an's request, and immediately shocked this Mrs. Park.
"This is-" Mrs. Park looked stunned, and glanced at each other with the fireworks in the back, Xiao Huaian didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and turned his eyes away a little awkwardly.
"I don't know what Mrs. Xiao finds particularly funny?"
"Well," Su Jiao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, if she said that she was indeed forced to open for business, but as soon as the name came out, there were too many slots, and I didn't know where to start.
Su Jiao paused, the handkerchief gently wiped the tip of her nose, and replied with a smile, "I'm really embarrassed, I just heard this old man's surname, which is actually called Sunshang, and I feel a little novel,"
"After all, it's the first time I've come to Nankang, so I don't know the customs here, but I subconsciously feel that this surname is very similar to the surname on the side of the Wa Kingdom, so I'm a little surprised, don't mind the two of you."
"Ah," Mrs. Park suddenly realized, the sun was burning around him, and he looked a little sullen, and he opened his mouth and left with an excuse.
"Actually, what Mrs. Xiao said is not wrong, this old man is indeed from the Wa Kingdom, but he is more capable, plus he is the head of the imperial merchants of our dynasty, and the power and industry in the family are all over Nankang, so it can be regarded as our Nankang people."
"Oh." Su Jiao nodded: It's really faceful, people who have a little ability to say that they are from their own country, it's really not polite at all.
But this identity, thinking about it, Su Jiao gently held Xiao Huai'an's palm, Xiao Huai'an also knew very well in his heart, Sun Shanghuahuo is a merchant in Nankang as a Japanese national, so with the convenience of his identity, any private transactions between the two countries are just a gesture.
"Let me see, Lord Xiao and Mrs. Xiao, please come here, this seat next to me to His Majesty is specially reserved for the two of you."
Mrs. Park took a look, Fang Cai was just a businessman, but he dared to come and leave if he wanted to, he didn't get angry at all, and now it was as if nothing had happened, so he only led Xiao Huaian and them to sit down.
Xiao Huai'an agreed, and when he saw that the main seat in the upper left was still empty, and was about to say a few words to Mrs. Park, he saw a young man in a yellow imperial robe, with a pair of hands on his back, a wingless black gauze hat on his head, and a cynical smile coming from the other side.
