Chapter 318: Shangshu Shilang
But in fact, it means that the emperor should put Murong Xuekite's marriage on the agenda this morning.
"You go and call the King of Qi."
"Huh?" Ah Fu opened his mouth wide and nodded helplessly. Anyone can think that it will be a good thing for the emperor to call King Qi over at this time, but he is just a subordinate, so it is better not to have too many things.
A few days later, another pair of people came from Fengying's envoyship, and the emperor received them with a solemn face, and held a grand banquet that night.
This time, a caravan led by a Shangshu squire headed by a man named "Wenqi" came.
Wenqi people are as their name suggests, they are really reasonable, and the white robe with that humble and polite smile is really unbearable, and the emperor's original ugly look is also reduced little by little in his smile.
"I have heard that the Emperor of Shun has been extraordinary, and today I see that it is truly famous." The white-robed man smiled mildly and said, "This time it should have been my country's Lord Shangshu who came in person, but unfortunately Lord Shangshu occasionally felt the wind and cold, and he was sick in bed and has not yet woken up. ”
"How could it be, as the saying goes, there are friends from afar, and it is a pleasure to be able to come, and I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and Lord Shilang is invited."
The emperor waved his hand magnificently and said, and the maids in the pale pink palace gauze skirts neatly presented a tray of clothes.
Because of the rush all the way, Wenqi and the others were still dressed in Fengying to serve, and when they arrived in Shunguo in mid-autumn, they were sweating profusely and the heat was unbearable. After taking them to wash up, they changed into a decent Shunguo service, and the banquet almost began.
"The eldest princess has arrived—"
"The three princes and the three princesses have arrived—"
The eunuch's announcement, facing the eyes of admiration or jealousy below, Lin Yue grabbed Shao Sijin's wrist.
It was not the first time she had attended the palace's welcome banquet, and she followed the man next to her to sit on the right side of the main seat, next to Shao Ningyan's table.
"Did you hear that?" The banquet hadn't started yet, so everyone on the floor was chatting with themselves. Shao Ningyan didn't know when she came over and asked quietly.
Lin Yue didn't know why.
"This envoy is Fengying's Shangshu Shilang, and the official position is not big or small. That Shangshu is a fragrant and spicy seat, and he is a big celebrity in front of the emperor. ”
"So what the hell are you trying to say?" Unable to stand her hanging appetite, Lin Yue rolled her eyes unceremoniously.
"Hey, I just want to say that this Shangshu Shilang suddenly came to our Shunguo, and it must be no good thing!" Shao Ningyan swore to a conclusion.
Lin Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Isn't that for sure?" ”
Feng Ying has always been eyeing Shunguo.
Shao Ningyan didn't seem to hear her sharp complaints, and her eyes swept around the banquet. The eunuch's shout silenced the rest of her words.
"Welcome to the arrival of the concubine, the emperor, and the queen."
Three gorgeously dressed figures slowly appeared at the door of the main hall, and everyone, including Lin Yue, knelt on the ground, welcoming the arrival of the three with their most devout respect.
Murong Xue Kite followed behind the three of them, and her gaze almost fell on Lin Yue's head.
Damn woman, if it weren't for her, how could she attract that terrible man!
She cursed with hatred, but fortunately everyone lowered their heads at this moment, and no one saw the hideous distortion on her face. A must-read book
Wen Qi smiled lightly and looked at the beautiful woman next to him, and something flashed in his eyes.
"See the concubine, the emperor, and the queen."
When the three of them sat down, Murong Xue Kite was dressed in a light purple veil, and her graceful figure twisted gently, just a salute revealed infinite style.
The concubines below couldn't help but hate and grit their teeth, for people who are more beautiful than themselves, women in the world have the same idea.
The emperor pretended to inadvertently look away, but just raised his hand and laughed heartily, "No need to be polite, please take a seat." ”
Including Murong Xue Kite's seats, they were all arranged on the left side of the table, just opposite Lin Yue's table, and Murong Xue Kite raised the wine glass in his hand to Lin Yue as soon as he sat down.
Interesting.
Raising his eyebrows, Lin Yue had just drunk a glass of wine for himself, and suddenly a big hand on his left side snatched the cup directly. Shao Sijin drank it all, and then commanded Lin Yue viciously in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "No matter what time you are allowed, you are not allowed to drink alcohol!" ”
He had seen this woman's drunkenness once, and it was not just an ordinary drunken madness, and he certainly couldn't let anyone other than him see that lovely appearance.
Murong Xue Yuan tightened the wine cup in her hand, almost subconsciously rising a little angry, but she quickly pressed it down.
She knew this woman was cunning, didn't she?
Elegantly hooked the corners of his mouth, and Murong Xue Yuan looked away as if no one was around.
The atmosphere at the banquet has become more serious since the arrival of the emperor, and the concubine has been making a straight face since she entered the door for some reason, which makes the atmosphere in the hall even more depressing.
In the center, there are graceful dancers waving in the wind on the stage, and the light tulle is danced by them as if it is alive, but it still can't arouse everyone's interest.
Ah Fu immediately raised his hand to hold them back.
The emperor is nothing more than saying something to welcome the arrival of the envoys, presumably Murong Xueyuan, Wenqi is obviously more calm and decent, and his sleek way of doing things makes the emperor and empress smile.
Even the impression of Fengying's caravan is also much better.
"Venerable Emperor Shun, we are all obeying the orders of the monarch, and we hereby open trade between Fengying and Shun. I am rich in mineral spars and other materials in Fengying, and Shun is a developed country in the center, and many of these materials are something we have never seen, so I feel that this trade is absolutely unprecedented! ”
"It will definitely bring more honor and prosperity to our two countries!"
He said it in high spirits, and many guests began to talk about it. Those who can participate in the banquet are naturally big shots, but it is the first time I have heard an outsider tell them about a win-win situation.
Does Feng Ying have such a good heart? No one knows, but human greed is something that everyone has.
The nature of a businessman is to pursue profits, and after being in the business for so long, the leader is naturally more able to grasp the opportunity than ordinary people, and the atmosphere on the field is still climaxing. As soon as he raised his hand, several followers carried up large boxes of Western Regions tribute.
"I heard that Wen Shilang is here to Dashun, this is ...... A little bit of contemptible and Wen Shilang's heart, I hope Emperor Shun can accept it! The merchant said loudly, looking shy, but in fact wishing everyone present could hear it.
The chests were gorgeous and precious on the outside, with a beautiful ruby in the middle.
Everyone straightened their heads in curiosity, and the merchant did not hesitate, and after ordering someone to raise his hand to open the lid of the box, a strong fragrance emanated.
"Gross." Lin Yue frowned, almost subconsciously retching.
