The faces of the crowd immediately changed.

To tell the truth, it has always been a matter of time to speculate on the holy will without authorization, and as the sons and daughters of the ministers of the DPRK and China, they have been by their father's and mother's side since they were children, speculating on the minds of all kinds of people.

If you want to be a high-ranking official, you have to learn to guess the minds of others, distinguish who is the enemy and who are the allies, and if you want to have a worry-free future, you have to guess the thoughts of the saints, know how to stand in line, and how to cater to the wishes of the saints.

Like now, it is not unheard of to find someone to verify the so-called rumors, but they are looking for either a certain prince or a certain princess.

As a child of the saint, everyone hopes that they are the most special one, the most favored and powerful one in the eyes of outsiders. So as long as it doesn't involve the secrets of the palace, anyone who is questioned will say something ambiguous on the shelf, and no one will say these things as "righteous and strict" as Qin Wan.

So for a moment, everyone didn't know how to react.

After all, he is a child, although he has been taught to be straightforward since he was a child, but his heart is not as good as that of an adult.

"The banquet has begun." I don't know who whispered, and everyone hurriedly returned to their seats and breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Yong appeared with the old emperor, such an honor, in addition to the protector of the country, Bai Yong is the second, a person with a heart, began to wonder, does the old emperor want to support Bai Yong to deal with the king of Zhenshan?

However, even the protector of the country has to be a little jealous of the king of Zhenshan, a Bai Yong with no background and no helper, why?

Before everyone could figure out whether the old emperor had taken Bai Yong to the banquet together, he was simply rewarding him, or a hint of ulterior motives, the old emperor had already taken his seat.

Zhang Ruishun is still the crown prince, so this toast still has to be said by him.

Qin Wan tilted his head and looked at Zhang Ruishun, who was full of red light and gentle and elegant.

I have to say that Zhang Ruishun's skin is good, the old emperor is not as handsome as the legend, and the queen can only be regarded as dignified, but he just combines the advantages of the two, coupled with the pampered life since childhood, his innate nobility can indeed attract a lot of people.

The old emperor has also been cultivating him really hard over the years, so he has the awe of a superior in his gestures, but he is young and the momentum on his body is not enough.

In this regard, Qin Wan admires Zhang Ruishun very much.

He is a good imitator who can imitate everything that is good for him. Just as he imitated the old emperor's speech and demeanor now, he didn't feel stiff at all.

Bai Yong still had a cold face as always, but he did not refuse anyone's toast, and poured it into his stomach cup by cup like drinking white water.

After three rounds of drinking, I finally got down to business.

The old emperor glanced around majestically, and everyone tacitly stopped laughing and looked at him seriously.

"This battle with Nanli, thanks to the great help of Koksu, this time we not only joined forces to hit Nanli hard, but also expanded the territory, I believe that for a long time, our two countries can breathe a sigh of relief."

"Nanri is aggressive, and because of the barren land in our country, our border between our two countries is always a target for harassment. This time, Nanli ceded the land and compensated, and it hurt his vitality again, and it will take a long time to recover. ”

It was an envoy of Kocsu who spoke, and as a diplomat, he always spoke with great artistry, neither flattering the Allies too much nor belittling himself.

The old emperor was very happy, nodded frequently, and even took over the conversation, saying: "No matter what, this victory is the beginning of the friendship between our two countries. ”

"What Your Majesty said is," the envoy bowed his hand and said respectfully, "This time the Ninth Princess and General Bai walked to Longdu, which is to show goodwill to Longdu on behalf of the Khan, and hope that the friendship between our two countries will last forever." ”

Is this going to be an alliance?

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Now that the Three Kingdoms are in power, if they can ally with Kekesu and contain Nanli to a large extent, it would be a great thing for Longdu.

The old emperor naturally said two words with joy.

The envoy of Kekesu secretly glanced at the high position, and said stubbornly: "In order to express the sincerity of our Kekesu, when Weichen was envoy to your country, the Khan said that if necessary, you can leave the nine princesses behind. ”

Wow.

With such straightforward words, everyone was shocked!

Is this to take the ninth princess hostage, or to forcibly ask for marriage?

At the banquet, everyone's meaningful eyes looked at the ninth princess.

This is the first time Qin Wan has seen the person she had always wanted to make friends with in her previous life.

There are not many people who can arouse her interest, even Xiao Jingxing's powerful character, she doesn't have the slightest idea of wanting to get close to her, and the ninth princess Lazhen is the only character she wants to befriend.

Speaking of which, Rajan is also a legend.

She has always wanted to know what kind of person can be beaten into the cold palace by her biological mother, without any background, and used as a pawn by her father and a tool for marriage, and become the iron-blooded queen of Coquesu!

She has always thought that she and Lajan are the same kind of people, both are proud people, and they are both the kind of people who are destined to be high, until she stayed in the cold palace for a long time in her previous life and realized that she and Lazhen are very different.

She's a stupid person!

Lazhen is a typical Koksu person, with neutral facial features, not as feminine as Longdu women, and because of her perennial horseback riding, Lazhen's skeleton is much larger than that of ordinary women.

But this did not affect Rajan's appearance.

To be honest, Lazhen's appearance is still good, at least, in Qin Wan's eyes, she belongs to the righteous kind.

Her evaluation of a person's appearance is simple, she believes that each other is born from the heart. There are more sanctimonious people, but this does not affect her judgment, she thinks that she will not mistake the person in front of her, after all, she heard too many rumors about her in her previous life.

It's just that Qin Wan can't understand how Lazhen could have a relationship with Bai Yong, in his previous life, it doesn't seem to be like this, right?

The words of the envoy did not surprise the old emperor, on the contrary, the smile on his face deepened.

Just when everyone thought that the old emperor would give marriage by the way, the old emperor said with a smile: "The alliance between the two countries is sincerity and trust, the sincerity of your country, I know it in my heart, and in the same way, in order to show sincerity, I also have a proposal." ”

The crowd pricked up their ears.

The old emperor said gently: "Since ancient times, the marriage of the two countries is the most effective alliance, although it is a bound marriage, but it has also achieved several happy marriages, but it is ......"

As soon as the words turned, everyone's hearts sank.

Sure enough, the old emperor continued: "There are many such things, and it is easy to make a grudge, General Bai is a rising star in my Longdu, a fierce general brought out by the Protector of the Kingdom, and the ninth princess is the noble princess of Kekesu, the two are matched in status, standing together as talented and beautiful, it can be called a perfect match." However, when it comes to marriage, I still hope to let General Bai make his own decisions. ”

Wow.

What does this mean?

Is it that General Bai has become the new favorite of the old emperor, and he is so spoiled that he doesn't ask him about any personal affairs, let alone use family affairs to bind him?

Or did the old emperor use thunderous means to cut off those peeps with ulterior motives?

The envoy is in trouble, "Your Majesty ......"

After all, the friendship between the two countries depends on the integrity and restraint between each other, a marriage...... I believe that the khans of your country will not believe such a thing. ”

The disgust of the scorn is obvious.

It's also a shame that the old emperor is so arrogant and says this kind of thing so bluntly.

The so-called marriage is just a political means, since ancient times, how many women have been sent to marriage?

They are all outcasts.

This kind of abandoned son is thrown away, and if he really wants to overturn the covenant, a marriage that is tied together can be stopped?

Seeing that the old emperor said it so bluntly, the envoy did not continue, and during the entire banquet, Lazhen did not say too much, but just stayed quietly aside.

"Miss ......" was halfway through eating, Qin Wan felt someone gently tug at her cuffs, glanced back, and just saw Lychee secretly glancing at her.

Following her peripheral glance, Qin Wan saw Qin Mingrou coming in from outside, with a red face.

"Miss?" Lychee asked what Qin Wan meant again.

Qin Wan shook her head, "No, the fox will always show its tail." ”

That's right, she always knew that Qin Mingrou had a connection with someone, or some people, as for the purpose, it was very simple, either to replace her, or to replace her mother.

She is not in a hurry to find out who is behind the scenes, and for the game to be enjoyable, it has to play with the heartbeat. It's too strategic, without the thrill of a heartbeat, what's so fun?

She knew she was doing it again.

Pouted in frustration.

Qin Wan thought that she just wanted to see if it was those who were strong in their abilities or because her wrists were strong.

A palace banquet passed without danger or danger, until the meeting ended, Qin Wan was still emotional, no wonder Bai Yong was fearless, it turned out that he knew the old emperor's thoughts.

Shaking her head, the biggest person in Longdu is her emperor's uncle, no matter how much outsiders speculate, no matter how they walk the rumors, it is not as good as the emperor's uncle's words.

Well, this thick thigh, she's going to hug it.

Unlike Qin Wan's schadenfreude, Lazhen returned to the mansion, dismissed all the people around her, and went directly into the clean room, and the palace maid who followed her stood cautiously outside the door, carefully closing her eyes.

Almost at the same moment as she closed her eyes, the sound of a copper basin hitting the floor came from the clean room. had long expected this kind of scene, and the palace maid couldn't help but shudder.

Fortunately, this tormented sound did not last long, and when Lazhen came out of the clean room, she had already changed her clothes and the makeup on her face had been washed.

"Clean up inside." The emotionless voice came, and the palace maid hurriedly entered the clean room, lightly, not daring to make any sound.
