Chapter 76: Jin Feng, Invite
Liu Qianwen's face sank instantly, and in front of everyone's eyes, she almost injured others with her sword, and now she can still shamelessly sue, is it really abnormal?
"Your Majesty!" Liu Qianwen stood up and walked slowly to the stage to salute, "Can the emperor let Qianwen say a few words to the princess, after all, Princess Yuyan's injury is also related to me." ”
"What do you want to say to me, if it's an apology, you don't have to, I don't accept it!" Jin Yuyan glared coldly, obviously trying to play tricks.
Seeing this, Liu Qianwen sneered, "Princess Yuyan's words are wrong, it's not that I want to apologize, but you should apologize to the emperor." ”
"I am the one who was hurt, why should I be asked to apologize!" Jin Yuyan said hatefully, his eyes full of anger.
Liu Qianwen directly ignored her eyes, and only continued: "First, the princess invited herself to perform sword dancing but was not proficient in learning, and the performance failed, which frightened the emperor, which is disloyal; Second, in front of everyone's eyes, the princess's lack of learning almost hurt me, which was a sabotage of the friendship between the two countries, and was disrespectful; Third, Emperor Beiyue sent Her Royal Highness the princess to come to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries, but now you are deliberately making things difficult on the main hall, which is unfilial. ”
"Three crimes, if you change my country, I am afraid that at this time, I will already be sent to the prison pending trial." As she spoke, Liu Qianwen paused, "However, for the sake of the friendship between the two countries and the princess's young ignorance, I only ask you to apologize in public, and the matter will be stopped." ”
"You!" Jin Yuyan was immediately angry when he was said like this, but he opened "you" for a long time but didn't say a word, which made the guests feel even more ridiculous.
The courtiers in the audience immediately stepped forward with eyes, "Your Majesty, the ministers think that Concubine Liu's words are reasonable, if Princess Beiyue apologizes for this, my country will not embarrass friends." ”
Having said this, Jin Yuyan's face was even more red and white, now that she is in another country, no one supports her, looking at the courtiers in the audience obviously watching the play, she has to swallow this breath alive.
"Okay, I apologize, I did something wrong today, please forgive your majesty the emperor." As he spoke, Jin Yuyan bowed down and saluted Beiyue in the direction of the emperor, but his face was full of unwillingness.
The emperor is also a clear-eyed person, so he can naturally see that Jin Yuyan's sword is likely to be intentional, but after all, this is related to the relationship between the two countries, so he has never spoken.
Now, since Liu Qianwen's words have made her bow her head, it is enough.
Besides, he and Nan Wuyang planned to use the matter of Beiyue to attack the Bai clan, so they had to turn a big thing into a small thing.
With such a farce, the atmosphere of the banquet has weakened a lot, but for the sake of the royal face, many courtiers still pretend to be celebrating, but the topics of conversation are all speculations about Liu Qianwen and Jin Yuyan.
The banquet continued, and Jin Yue's face at this time was completely overcast, so that the two of them watched Jin Yuyan closely, and ordered her not to leave her seat, so they went out to blow the wind and breathe under the pretext of being drunk.
It's just that as soon as he left the temple gate, a figure followed him silently, and stopped him until he walked into the back garden.
"The eldest prince stays, and further on is the inner palace, and the ministers are not allowed to trespass without being summoned." Listening to this voice, Jin Yue turned his head suspiciously, and soon he recognized the person in front of him, Nan Zichu, the king of Chu!
Before coming here, he also did some investigation on the matter here, and knew that this King of Chu was the only person among the princes who had the strength to sit on the throne.
It is said that this person seems to have a lot of disagreement with King An.
Now seeing that he intends to talk to him, he roughly guessed his intentions in his heart, and then raised his hand and saluted: "It was the King of Chu, thank you for reminding me." ”
"The eldest prince doesn't have to be polite, I think we will have a lot of times when we need to help each other in the future."
The banquet continued, although everyone's interest was focused on speculating about the grievances between Princess Beiyue and Concubine An Liu, as long as the emperor did not speak, no one dared to leave first.
The atmosphere of the banquet gradually became awkward, and no one dared to say a word at this time, for fear that they would inexplicably become cannon fodder in the aftermath of the war just now.
However, this atmosphere was very interesting for the other person in the banquet, who was the envoy of Beiyue who had been defeated in this battle.
Nan Wuyang, like Liu Qianwen, was the most disliked to enter and leave this kind of banquet, but today he rarely did not slip away in advance, in order to see what the purpose of Beiyue's generals attended the banquet from Beiyue under such great pressure.
Sure enough, in the middle of the banquet, Jin Feng stood up, walked slowly to the center of the main hall, bowed to the emperor and said, "Beiyue envoy Jin Feng sees His Majesty the Emperor. ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present were attracted, and even Liu Qianwen couldn't help but look at the person in front of her, she knew that the general who was defeated in Beiyue was the focus.
"Is he the commander of the battle with you in Beiyue?" Liu Qianwen asked in a whisper in Nan Wuyang's ear. The end of the world
"Sort of." Nan Wuyang said lightly, but his gaze lingered on the hall very deeply, "He is the new general of Beiyue, and his power is monstrous, and this king can't find out his background." ”
As he was speaking, Jin Feng on the top of the main hall had already stood up, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I, the monarch of Beiyue Kingdom, have ordered my ministers to submit this letter of state, and I hope that the two countries will be reconciled from now on, and there will be no more disagreements." ”
When the national letter was handed over, the emperor's face was slightly cold, "It is best if your envoy can think about it, we are not warlike, but we will never be bullied." ”
"It's nature." Jin Feng didn't seem to hear the fierceness of the emperor's words, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned a beautifully dressed woman, "The minister sat down and saw that the atmosphere of the banquet was too serious, this woman is the most famous dancing girl in Beiyue, if His Majesty the Emperor does not dislike it, he will give her to His Majesty and play a few songs for entertainment." ”
"Exactly." The emperor opened his mouth to respond, and Jin Feng's meaning was nothing more than to offer a beauty as a friendship, but Liu Qianwen couldn't help but look at the queen who was sitting in the same hall with the emperor with some concern.
She could see that the empress was stunned for a moment when Jin Feng spoke, but quickly regained her composure, this may be the sadness of being an emperor's woman.
Le Ji took out a pipa and began to play, a song of Jiangnan memories, the music is sometimes light and euphemistic, sometimes majestic and atmospheric, sometimes like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate.
Liu Qianwen was amazed, even if Hua Zhu, who was the best at piano music in Huayue Garden, could not play one-tenth of this woman.
After the song was played, Le Ji got up and saluted, her posture was charming, and the emperor asked her to raise her head on the spot, and she looked good.
"It's indeed a beauty, I will make you Concubine Yu." With a holy message, Mai Ji immediately knelt on the ground to thank her.
Jin Feng's face was the same as before, and it seemed that everything was in his expectation.
The banquet continued, and Liu Qianwen was quite interested in this Beiyue envoy, and when she found an opportunity, she stepped forward to talk to him, "The envoy came from afar, and I am also the host, so I respect you for a cup." ”
"Thank you, Concubine Liu." Jin Feng leaned back and drank the wine in one gulp, "I have long heard that Concubine Liu has a blue heart, and now I admire it even more when I see the real person, Prince An is really a blessing, with the princess of the Bai family, and such a side concubine, it is really enviable." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, although King An was suspected of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, but without the emperor to speak, who of them dared to propose?
This envoy is really bold.
Liu Qianwen naturally knew what he meant, she didn't get angry, and chuckled: "The envoy said that he laughed, after the prince returned to Beijing, he often told me that the generals of Beiyue were brave and strategic, if it wasn't for the heaven-sent chance, I don't know how long this battle would last." ”
Liu Qianwen chuckled, her eyes swept over Jin Feng, she always felt that there was something wrong with this person, but she couldn't say it.
"Your envoy is really amazing in white, I thought it was the daughter of a family when I first came to the stage."
"Haha, Concubine Liu doesn't have to be careful, the minister has had many disasters and illnesses since she was a child, and her parents have been raising her in the house for many years, and she has not been able to practice martial arts like other men, but after a long time, she has been dyed with the sisters in the inner courtyard, and sometimes there are always bullies on the street to laugh, which is really embarrassing." Jin Feng smiled heartily and cheerfully, and didn't seem to care about her words.
Saying this, Liu Qianwen had to echo and chuckle, "I see, but there must be many young girls who are waiting for them." ”
"The young man is now just a defeated minister." Jin Feng said, a trace of gloom in his eyes.
"Don't hide it from Concubine Liu, I first entered your country, my identity is embarrassing, and there is no acquaintance to talk to, I see Concubine Liu today and feel very fateful, if you don't give up, the minister wants to go to the palace tomorrow to meet you, I don't know what you think."
Liu Qianwen subconsciously turned her head to look at Nan Wuyang, and after seeing him nodding slightly, she agreed, "That's fine, the prince is also a person who loves talents, and the two of you can also have a chat at that time." ”
But just as the two were chatting, a figure suddenly squeezed in, and when he looked at it, it was Jin Yuyan, "What are you secretly talking about behind your back?" ”
Liu Qianyu's face sank, this Jin Yuyan really regarded this place as her home, such a rude and willful appearance, I don't know why the monarch of Beiyue chose her to kiss, and she is not afraid of losing Beiyue's face.
Just thinking about it, on the other side, Jin Feng still told her about the preparation to visit the palace, Jin Yuyan was willing to give up when she heard this, and hurriedly clamored to go with her.
Although she suffered two losses in front of Liu Qianwen today, when she thought of meeting Nan Wuyang in the palace, she couldn't put down her body and go forward.
Liu Qianwen looked at her entangled appearance, and she was very unhappy, but at the banquet, if she refused, she didn't know what kind of chaos Jin Yuyan would make.
In desperation, she had no choice but to press the anger in her heart and said: "Since this is the case, then I will specially invite Beiyue and the Beiyue delegation to enter the mansion to enjoy the flowers on behalf of the prince, and at that time, I will also bother Princess Yuyan to tell the prince of Jinyue." ”
