Zhao Wenlu sprinkled all his anger on the housekeeper and his subordinates, originally thought that everything was arranged seamlessly, but now because of Dongfang Yi's intervention, things have become complicated.

Zhao Wenlu even swaggered to prepare for what happened after the death of the old emperor, and the contacts with some officials became closer.

Those officials were waiting for the addition of officials to the knighthood, and they were called to be the founding fathers of the country with good morals.

I also want to record a great achievement in the history books in the future.

But now their shamelessness has turned into a dream, and all criticism has disappeared.

When the officials of the DPRK and China saw the old emperor's childish face and radiant all day long, they knew that their affairs were exposed, and they broke off their relations with Zhao Wenlu.

Zhao Wenlu sent people to the door several times, but they all pretended to be sick and found all kinds of excuses to stay away from Zhao Wenlu, feeling like avoiding the plague.

However, unlike the plague, the plague still has a way to suppress it, but the work of cooperating with Zhao Wenlu is unavoidable.

In the matter between them, once Zhao Wenlu has an accident, all the officials will be affected, and the loss of official affairs is small, and the loss of life is big.

"My lord, someone from the Three Princes' Mansion has come up." The housekeeper reported to him.

"Hurry up, just say I'm sick and it's not easy to see guests, go quickly." Lord Liu hurriedly went back to the house in a panic and lay down.

"Master Liu wants to live in the dark like this until the end of the day, your frame is quite big." The cold voice of the person who came made Lord Liu discouraged.

He beat the person and thought that he had heard it wrong, and when he turned his head, he saw that the person was violent, and took off the black cloak on his head.

"Three...... The third prince, the lower official...... Xia Guan has been unwell lately. Lord Liu panicked and fell to his knees tremblingly.

Zhao Wenlu turned his head and glared at him, and sat down in the upper hall. beat people and quickly let the housekeeper serve tea and snacks.

The housekeeper asked the maid to prepare good refreshments, and then retreated, and the hall was quiet, leaving only Zhao Wenlu, his cronies and Lord Liu.

Lord Liu rarely had personal contact with Zhao Wenlu, and when he suddenly saw his true face of Lushan, he was really a little timid.

"I don't know if the third prince suddenly came, what advice do you have?" Lord Liu asked cautiously.

"There's no need to be polite, but this king wants to ask, what is the reason why you avoid seeing it and don't go to court?" Zhao Wenlu took a sip of tea gently.

Lord Liu knew that Zhao Wenlu came to the door in person, and he must have come to the door in person, so he could only serve carefully.

"The three princes misunderstood, and the lower officials were miserable......" Lord Liu wanted to explain.

"Okay, you officials with fat brains, don't think that this king doesn't know what you are thinking, play tricks with this king, you can practice for a few more years." When Zhao Wenlu heard this, he immediately put down the teacup and became angry.

Lord Liu was frightened and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "Xiaguan...... It's not that the lower officials are evading, it's really old, this is ...... It's going to be a head-off. ”

Lord Liu is a timid person, stealing, cheating, and opportunistic things, but he does a lot of things, but he is cowardly in things that really endanger his life.

"You're worried about your life, aren't you?" Zhao Wenlu walked in front of Lord Liu, "If you offend this king, you will be put to risk your life now, you had better honestly do nothing that happened." ”

Zhao Wenlu is really a ruthless character, and a few words made Lord Liu sit on the ground with weak legs in fright.

"Third prince, the lower official is old, please let me go." Lord Liu was in tears, crying and pleading.

"In a few days, a foreign envoy will enter the palace, as long as you help me complete this matter, this king will let you get your wish." Zhao Wenlu lowered his head slightly and looked down at Lord Liu.

After Zhao Wenlu left. Lord Liu sat on the ground for half an hour, staring blankly at the dark night sky, as if there was a demon standing in some bottomless darkness.

Although he can't be seen, he is in control of his life and death, monitoring his every move.

Lord Liu has been submissive all his life, and he wanted to have a good reputation and get an income that was enough for him to worry about when he returned to his hometown.

With a wife and children, the old and the young are raised for the rest of the year.

It seems that he thought too well, and from the moment he moved to participate in the struggle of the imperial court, his life could no longer be left to him.

"Jin'er, there are foreign envoys coming to the court tomorrow, you can go with me." Dongfang Yi changed into his official uniform and said.

"Receiving foreign envoys is the business of you officials, what am I going to do? Again, these are not in order. Nalan Jin felt a little puzzled.

"The foreign envoys brought a few female dependents, and the emperor ordered the court to order the women to have a banquet, which also showed etiquette." Dongfang Yi frowned slightly.

"In that case, I'll prepare."

It is the first time to attend such a big banquet, and etiquette and etiquette are still indispensable.

Nalan Jin specially prepared a dignified and generous dress, with exquisite makeup and accessories, and low-key status.

The appearance of Dongfang Yi at the banquet at the same time immediately made people's eyes shine, especially the foreign women, who felt very happy when they saw Nalan Jin.

In addition, Nalan Jin avoided going to the Western Regions to do business, and was quite proficient in the etiquette and language of their side, and soon won the love of foreign women.

The old emperor was worried that no one would receive foreign women, and when he saw Nalan Jin chatting with them, he was calm and smiled.

"Long live the Emperor." Gentile envoys raise their glasses.

"May the two countries always be friendly." The old emperor happily returned the salute.

The old emperor smiled and chatted with the foreign envoys in full swing, the ministers and wives also drank and talked happily, and some impure people also took advantage of the rare opportunity to win over the ladies and ladies to their liking.

The people in the court have long heard that Nalan Jin has a way of doing business, and they are even more nervous when they see it today, so they all come up to toast Nalan Jin.

"Marquis Nalan is really a woman, and she is a model for my generation."

"Yes, I've heard the name thunderous for a long time."

"It's a blessing to see you today, and it's better to drink than to drink."

All the ministers had just given Nalan Jin a good image, and they rushed to toast Nalan Jin, she knew their purpose.

"Thank you, my lords, I don't have much alcohol, let my husband do it for me, I'm really sorry." Nalan Jin smoothly pushed the wine to Dongfang Yi, and he fell into a quiet place and hid aside.

Dongfang Yi helplessly hooked the corners of his mouth and shook his head, drinking with those ministers.

"Looks like you don't like them very much." Princess Zhaogui didn't know when she appeared by Nalan Jin's side.

"I don't like it or not, I just can't get used to their fake attitude." Nalan Jin didn't care about the explanation.

"I can't get used to it, and I can't save face, so I push it to others." Princess Zhaogui looked at Dongfang Yi, who was circling around.

"Attend the princess." Nalan Jin realized the people around him and hurriedly saluted.

"There's no need to be polite, this princess doesn't like them either, looking at their appearance, I finally understand their son's attitude towards this princess." Princess Zhaogui took Nalan Jin's arm.

"It seems that the princess is also a straight person."

Nalan looked at Princess Zhaogui, although her status was very different, she didn't feel Zhaogui's lofty momentum at all, but was approachable.

The two hit it off and chatted with great interest.

Zhao Wenlu drank angrily, those people have been perfunctory to Zhao Wenlu since they woke up from beating the old emperor, and they will dodge if they can, and they will never approach again.

This made Zhao Wenlu feel lonely and abandoned.

Zhao Wenlu arranged for people to stare at the officials who came into contact with Dongfang Yi and wrote them down one by one.

After the banquet, the old emperor sent someone to send the foreign envoys to rest, and the foreign ladies had to pull Nalan Jin together, as if they were talking happily, and they were still unsatisfied.

Nalan Jin explained the matter to the foreign ladies as simply and plainly as possible, and they muttered there for a long time before they nodded and agreed in a half-understanding.

"Then you said okay, you must come next time." The foreign woman reluctantly took Nalan Jin's hand.

"Okay, let's get some rest."

Nalan Jin let out a long sigh. When I returned to the house, it was already late at night, and the wine began to slowly rise, it was Dongfang Yi, who carried her back to the house and wiped her body.

Looking at the sleeping Nalan Jin, Dongfang Yi could still vaguely smell the smell of wine emanating from her mouth.

Zhao Wenlu arranged for someone to quietly visit the officials who had been in contact with Dongfang Yi at the banquet in private. Verbal warnings were given to them, both explicitly and implicitly.

"This king doesn't like to beat around the bush and doesn't care about some small details, but if someone stabs him in the back, he will definitely not spare it." The housekeeper pretended to be Zhao Wenlu's tone, and conveyed Zhao Wenlu's meaning to those officials word for word.

The officials were terrified, and everyone was in danger.

Zhao Wenluo also took advantage of the old emperor's dojo to express his gratitude to Dongfang Yi for helping the old emperor.

But Dongfang Yi just smiled slightly, and replied very officially, "Everything is for a stable world, not for someone." ”

Zhao Wenluo smiled a little embarrassed and didn't say anything, and he didn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time when he returned to the house.

After the banquet, many officials had an excuse to get close to Nalan Jin, and Nalan Mansion didn't know how many ladies of the officials' mansions to send away all day.

Nominally, he came to gossip with Nalan Jin, but every time he came over, he brought rich gifts.

"Jin'er, do you think they're a little weird?" Dongfang Yi looked at the threshold that was about to be flattened.

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. After this incident, I feel that I have to have my own strength, although we will not set off strong winds and waves, but we still need to protect ourselves. Nalan Jin made it clear.

"And what do you want to do?" Dongfang Yi echoed.

"Princess Zhaogui is good, she also knows a lot of people, and she can be wooed." Nalan Jin raised an eyebrow.

Dongfang Yi had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Just pinched his chin and looked at Nalan Jin.

People are a species that follows the trend.

Seeing that so many people are friendly with Nalan Jin, Zhao Wenlu will naturally not bow down.

But the experience of the first few times made Zhao Wenlu a little frustrated, so he did what he liked and asked Peony about Nalan Jin's character.
