Chapter 34: Take off your mask
Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan bowed together: "See the emperor." "In front of so many people, there should still be politeness. Although Liu Qingyan had a lot of reluctance in his heart, he still saluted and said goodbye together, just as he gave Xuanyuan Yichen a little face.
"Excuse me, flat." From above, Xuanyuan Yixing didn't even want to hide the cold voice. That's all he said.
Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan raised their heads, stood up straight, and at a glance, they saw that Xuanyuan Yixing's hands clearly had a table and two chairs, and there were already delicious and delicious wines on the table, and this position was obviously arranged for the two of them. But Xuanyuan Yixing didn't say about giving a seat, and the two of them didn't want to walk over and sit down rashly in front of so many ministers. But it's impossible for them to just stand here like an exhibit and let so many people visit!
Xuanyuan Yichen is famous anyway, and there is nothing to be afraid of, just seize this opportunity to let everyone see with their own eyes how mixed he is. Of course, Liu Qingyan, who was his princess, had to be dragged into the water by him. Fortunately, Liu Qingyan also has the reputation of "straw bag", and he happens to hate Xuanyuan Yixing so much, and it is not impossible to cooperate with Xuanyuan Yichen.
The husband and wife thought of one place, held hands, and walked towards the place that belonged to them. All of a sudden, even if they don't want to be exhibits, they are still exhibits, and they are still alive. When the two of them arrived at the table, they were not in a hurry to sit down, and even stretched out their hands at the same time, but Xuanyuan Yichen aimed at the wine on the table, while Liu Qingyan made a black hand on a plate of food that looked very delicate and beautiful and couldn't tell what it was made of.
Xuanyuan Yichen personally got a glass of wine, took a sip, called "good wine", and then drank the wine in the cup. Then he poured another glass, and it seemed that he would not stop for a while, but would not think about sitting down first. And Liu Qingyan directly twisted a little food with his hand, lifted a little veil with his other hand, put the food in his mouth and tasted it, and immediately spit it out in a blink of an eye, and kept spitting, "Phew! Bah! Phew......" behavior is quite exaggerated, but there is also a real component, and she can't be blamed for this. She thought it looked good, and it must be delicious, but the appearance and imagination were not the same thing at all!
The two of them were so ugly in front of so many people, not to mention that Xuanyuan Yixing, who was already very unpleasant to them, couldn't stand it, but all the ministers, palace maids, and eunuchs present couldn't stand it. The two protagonists are not embarrassed, they themselves feel embarrassed in place of the protagonist. Only the noble concubine couldn't hide her snickering, and secretly scolded in her heart: "Yes! The uglier the better! ”
"Hahaha! Hahaha! A burst of abrupt but heroic laughter suddenly rang out, so loud that it almost shook the banquet hall. As a result, everyone's attention was successfully shifted from Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan to the two people who were laughing.
Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan naturally saw it, and they noticed it when they came in, just when they came in, it happened to be face to face with them, sitting two people with extremely burly figures, and the dress was obviously different from Daliangguo, no need to guess to know, it must be the envoy of the Mongolian State. The most special thing about these two people is their blond hair and brown eyes. Liu Qingyan only felt that they looked very much like people from modern Western countries, but he didn't know which Western countries they belonged to compared to modern times.
Now, by these two Mongolian envoys, laughing without any scruples, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan finally felt a little embarrassed. However, in other people's territory, the prince and princess who mocked others like this, the upbringing and etiquette of the two Mongolian envoys can also be seen. Liu Qingyan couldn't help but look at the lofty Xuanyuan Yixing, if he was really a responsible emperor and cared about the dignity of his country, he would never allow the envoys of Mongolia to do such an insult to the Great Liangguo. Although in the final analysis, this matter was provoked by himself and Xuanyuan Yichen, but whoever let Xuanyuan Yixing provoke them first, naturally it should be Xuanyuan Yixing, the emperor, to clean up the mess.
All the ministers and the palace people present frowned, feeling that the performance of these two Mongolian envoys was very inappropriate, and even the noble concubine, who had always been the best at only being jealous and calculating, also gritted her teeth, and couldn't wait to scold these two envoys.
Xuanyuan Yixing turned the spearhead to Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan, and shouted: "You two, just sit down, don't be embarrassed here!" If he wants to say so, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan will do it, and they want to wait and see, the most embarrassing thing is who it is.
Xuanyuan Yixing then turned to the topic, and said to the two Mongolian envoys: "Two, let's taste the wine of my great good country and enjoy the beautiful songs and dances of my great good country." When it came to the word "beauty" again, Xuanyuan Yixing's tone was obviously different, and there seemed to be an ambiguous chill, and the faces of the women dancing below changed, but they didn't dare to make a sound. On the contrary, the two envoys seemed to have understood what Xuanyuan Yixing meant, and the eyes of the women who looked at the dancing women obviously became obscene.
Liu Qingyan was very disdainful, and couldn't help but snort coldly, the sound was not loud, and the music came to mind, this voice did not reach Xuanyuan Yixing's ears, but it was listened to by Xuanyuan Yichen, who was sitting next to her. But he didn't feel too much, except that the emperor, the two envoys, and many ministers looked at these dancing women with obscene and even lewd eyes, he really felt that this was just a very ordinary and common little thing. But seeing Liu Qingyan's reaction, he didn't dare to say it.
However, these two Mongolian envoys are not so easy to fool, they seem to feel that they have been treated slowly by the emperor and prince of Daliang Kingdom, and they do not agree. First of all, the artillery fire was aimed at Xuanyuan Yichen, who let the matter be caused by him in the first place.
The envoy sitting on the left suddenly stood up, such a thick and burly body, but also a little imposing. He put his hand on his chest, bowed down slightly, and said after a salute: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Daliang Kingdom!" ”
Xuanyuan Yixing couldn't help but have a cold face, waved his hand, and the music and singing and dancing immediately stopped.
As a result, in the huge banquet hall, only the voice of the envoy could be heard.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Daliang Kingdom, I, Chagan Bala, and Lord Harbara, together with the will of my Holy Majesty of the Mongolian Kingdom, send an envoy to the Great Liang Kingdom, which represents our motherland, and behind us is our noble Mongolian Kingdom! Sending an envoy to your country, the prince and princess of your country are late, which is already a great disrespect to my Mongolian country. The prince is wearing a mask, and the princess is also wearing a veil, which is a great disrespect to my Mongolian country! Your country is known as the country of etiquette, is this how you are hospitalized? ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the ministers who accompanied them could no longer stay out of the matter, and they all whispered. Some people think that they are used to seeing the prince with a mask, and there is nothing strange about it, as for the princess, the legendary is extremely ugly, so it is better not to show her true face. Some people simply think that these two Mongolian envoys are too unreasonable, not so much that the prince and princess are rude, but that they are really rude. Of course, there are also people who have the mentality of watching the excitement, just to see how the prince and the princess make a fool of themselves. Among them must be Xuanyuan Yixing and Gao Guifei. Although they were also very dissatisfied with the attitude of the envoys, they wanted to see how Xuanyuan Yixing and Liu Qingyan made a fool of themselves, otherwise how could they deliberately find them!
Xuanyuan Yichen shook the folding fan in his hand and said, "The appearance of this king, don't look at it, forget it." ”
The Mongolian envoy, who claimed to be Chaganbala, immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, you can accept that the prince treats your guests so rudely, but we, as your guests, absolutely cannot accept it!" His companion, the envoy named Harbara, also said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Your Majesty, we cannot accept it, we are guests, you must not be so rude, and even more rude to the holy lord of Mongolia who represents us behind us!" ”
Seeing that such a trivial matter was about to escalate into a diplomatic incident between the two countries, although Xuanyuan Yixing really wanted to scold through the air: "Only those who are invited are called guests, you are uninvited, and you are not welcome at all, what kind of guest is it, I hate to hurry up and drive you away as far as I can!" Of course, he could only think about it like this, how could he really say it. If you want to blame, you can only blame him for not having the ability and courage of the previous emperor, and he can't recover the rebellious army of Mongolia in one fell swoop.
Xuanyuan Yixing could only aim at Xuanyuan Yichen: "King Xian, since the two envoys insist, take off your mask and the princess's veil." My great country is a country of etiquette, so it is natural to be courteous to guests. In fact, for so many years, he has heard that the idle king is ugly, and he also wants to see how unbearable he is. Anyway, although he feels uncomfortable in his heart, it is good to make Xuanyuan Yichen ugly.
Xuanyuan Yichen "snapped" and closed the folding fan in his hand, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, he glanced around at everyone present, and said: "Since this is the case, Weichen obeys the order." However, since Daliang is a country of etiquette, women generally cover their faces when they are outside. I don't think the two envoys will embarrass a weak woman, right? ”
The two envoys immediately looked at the noble concubine standing beside Xuanyuan Yixing, she was clenching her handkerchief, obviously angered by Xuanyuan Yichen's words. The two envoys should accept it when they see it.
"Isn't it just to see what I look like? What's so hard about that? Xuanyuan Yichen said, taking off the silver-white mask on his face. It was like a sparkling diamond, brushing off a layer of dust from the surface and revealing the sparkle underneath.
