Chapter 554: Banquet for the Envoys
In the dormitory, Jin Yantang told Shang Kelan about the incident he had met with Master Chi Yuan in the wine shop before.
"Because of this, I am worried that Master will hurt you, so I want to avoid you for a while."
As soon as his voice fell, Shang Kelan was silent for a moment, and then raised her eyes to look at him: "Your Majesty, it can be seen that you have feelings for your master and sister......
Before Shang Kelan finished speaking, Jin Yantang hurriedly held her hand and interrupted: "Don't get me wrong, I am the only one in my heart, and I will never have any feelings with other women!" ”
Having said that, after all, Chi Yuan and Chi Miao have accompanied Jin Yantang to grow up and taught him a lot of things, if she let Jin Yantang fall out with her master and sister because of herself, Shang Kelan feels that it is not worth it.
But......
Thinking of this, Shang Kelan's eyes showed a look of struggle, and she couldn't help but shake her hand.
But if she just agreed to let Chi Miao enter the palace as Princess Loulan, she didn't agree from the bottom of her heart, no woman would be happy to share a husband with other women, even if this is the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is an empty dynasty.
Seeing Shang Kelan's hesitant expression, Jin Yantang couldn't help frowning slightly, looked at her firmly, and said, "Lan'er, don't worry, since I said that I wouldn't marry my junior sister, I would definitely not let her enter the palace, and I have already figured out a way to deal with my master and junior sister." ”
Shang Kelan couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head: "But your junior sister has already come to the Great Zhou Dynasty as a princess of harmony, what else can we do to prevent her from entering the palace?" ”
It's not that Jin Yantang hasn't thought about this matter, he had already thought about it when he summoned Shang Kelin and Chen Shilang into the palace before.
At this moment, seeing Shang Kelan asking, Jin Yantang's eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear it: "Loulan sent her junior sister over to make peace, but I don't necessarily have to marry her into the palace." ”
"Besides, there are so many young talents in the court, I canonize a prince and then marry her, it is not a loss of face for Loulan Kingdom, nor is it a violation of the rules of my Great Zhou Dynasty, is it?"
Hearing this, Shang Kelan looked at him in some surprise, with an undisguised look of surprise in her eyes.
Since ancient times, not every princess who is friendly must marry the emperor, Loulan just sent her over to be peaceful, as long as she is married to a young talent in the court, it will be considered a success.
As soon as Jin Yantang's words came out, Shang Kelan roughly understood what he meant.
It's just that the imperial examination has not yet been held in the DPRK, where did the young talents come from to canonize her and relatives?
For a while, Shang Kelan shook her head a little helplessly, lowered her eyes and looked at Jin Yantang, and tried to make her voice appear calm: "Your Majesty, let's let her enter the palace, although Loulan is small, my Great Zhou Dynasty has always had economic and trade contacts with them, and I have a bad relationship with them, and I don't know how many ways to cut off the lives of the foot merchants." ”
It didn't seem to expect Shang Kelan's answer to be like this, and Jin Yantang was a little stunned.
Immediately, he shook Shang Kelan's hand and explained: "They won't have no way to live, it's just that there is one less place to make money, after my junior sister enters the palace, Lan'er, I can't guarantee what will happen after she enters the palace, do you understand?" ”
Chi Yuan is a formidable existence in the rivers and lakes, and the pair of disciples he taught will not be far behind.
If Shang Kelan accidentally offended Chi Miao one day, how Chi Miao would retaliate was still unknown.
Shang Kelan's eyes flashed slightly, nodded, slowly raised her eyes to look at him and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so embarrassed, I have been through so much with you, I believe in you, so I don't want to see you so embarrassed, besides, isn't Your Majesty's heart on me?" "The end
As soon as these words came out, Jin Yantang was silent for a moment.
He shook his hand, indeed, what Shang Kelan said was the best way to solve the current problem, and marrying Chi Miao to others might only deepen the contradiction between him and his master.
After a while, Jin Yantang gently hugged Shang Kelan and whispered in her ear, "Thank you, Lan'er." ”
Shang Kelan smiled softly and patted him on the back soothingly: "Don't be like this, after so many things, I finally returned to you and Qi Lan, as Qi Lan's biological mother, I will not leave the palace because of your junior sister." ”
After Jin Yantang nodded in agreement, he didn't speak again, but a dark glint flashed in his dark eyes.
The position of queen can only be his Lan'er's, even if his junior sister Chi Miao wants to enter the palace, he will not back down half a step!
But what neither of them noticed was that outside the door, a small figure happened to hear the words "biological mother" in their ears.
For a while, Jin Qilan was stunned in place, looking at the inside of the dormitory with his eyes wide open, and seemed to see Jin Yantang and Shang Kelan sitting together through the door.
How so? How could Lanco be his biological mother? Isn't he the Queen's child?
Jin Qilan's eyes gradually lost his mind, he glanced in the direction of the dormitory with some fear, and then ran away from here as if fleeing.
The next day, the palace held a palace banquet in the Jinluan Palace, which was held to welcome the arrival of Loulan.
At this palace banquet, Chi Yuan appeared in the Jinluan Hall as a pro-envoy, accompanied by Jin Yantang, Chen Shilang and Shang Kelin, and some Loulan envoys sat opposite them.
And Shang Kelan and Chi Miao did not appear in the main hall, and those who were about to be canonized could not appear in the public eye.
Originally, it was a sure thing that Shang Kelan was canonized as the queen, but now that there is such a variable as Chi Miao, most people think that the person who is canonized as the queen must be Chi Miao.
Jin Yantang sat on the dragon chair, wearing a black embroidered dragon pattern court dress, wearing a crown of hanging beads, showing the majesty and the air of the emperor between his demeanor.
Chi Yuan put on Loulan's unique court clothes, and the long robe was a little curly, which looked very exotic.
Jin Yantang's expression was indifferent, the corners of his lips seemed to have a smile, and he raised his hand in a calm and friendly tone: "Loulan's move of sending Princess Heqin has made me see your determination to make friends with my Great Zhou Dynasty, but the position of the queen has been decided earlier, even if Loulan sends the princess and relatives, I will not canonize Princess Loulan as the queen." ”
"Besides, how can the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty be the daughter of a Hu person? I have this in mind, and I will explain to you here today, so as not to have anything you do not understand in the future, which will affect the friendship between the two countries, and I hope that the ministers will understand that the exchanges between Loulan and the Great Zhou Dynasty are not about peace, and the exchanges between the two sides should pay more attention to the trade between the people. ”
As soon as these words came out, in the main hall, the Loulan envoys looked at each other, but no one took the lead in answering Jin Yantang's words.
On the contrary, it was Chen Shilang and Shang Kelin, both of whom were a little surprised.
They really didn't expect that Jin Yantang still insisted on canonizing Lan Ke as the queen.
What everyone didn't notice was that at this time, at the gate of the Jinluan Palace, a slender chamberlain trembled all over after hearing this.
Immediately, the waiter gritted his teeth and raised his face slightly, only to see that she looked bewitching, but it was Chi Miao's appearance!
