Chapter 17
The matter of the stranger was solved, and Emperor Lu was very happy, so he wanted to make Lin Yan the national teacher of Lu State, but Lin Yan immediately refused, saying that he didn't want to involve Lu Guo, so he couldn't accept Emperor Lu's kindness. Seeing that Lin Yan was so persistent, and knowing Lin Yan's worries, Emperor Lu no longer insisted on making Lin Yan a national teacher.
Huang Puyao was also very happy when he saw that Lin Yan had solved the three abilities, but he was more disappointed, he claimed to be the pride of the sky, but in front of Lin Yan, he was like an ordinary person, which made him very uncomfortable.
Lin Yan didn't know what Huang Puyao thought, she was now ready to continue to pass through the time and space gate, ready to continue to accept the punishment of heaven.
In order to avoid being punished by heaven in rags like last time, and having neither eaten nor drunk, this time Lin Yan knew that she was ready, she had to bring clothes, dry food, and silver, this time she promised not to suffer again, Lin Yan thought very confidently.
However, before Lin Yan said goodbye to Huang Puyao, she got the news that Huang Puyao would be sent as an envoy to Hu to participate in the Six Nations Alliance, and Emperor Lu hoped that Lin Yan could accompany Huang Puyao to participate in the alliance, so that he could also help Huang Puyao, and also help Lu and the people of Lu State.
Lin Yan looked at Emperor Lu's kind and expectant eyes, so she had to nod and agree, who wanted her to eat and drink Huang Puyao, wear Huang Puyao, and live in Huang Puyao, but she paid for it, Lin Yan handed over all the 100,000 taels of gold she earned to Huang Puyao, and it was regarded as the accommodation fee in Duanwang's mansion, which was more than enough.
But after Lin Yan saw Emperor Lu's eyes, she looked at Huang Puyao's longing gaze at her, and it was even more difficult to refuse, alas, who called herself so soft-hearted!
Huang Puying saw that Lin Yan had agreed to participate in the alliance, and he was also clamoring to see the excitement; it turned out that this alliance was held once every four years, and every time there was a competition at the alliance, all countries would send talented people and talented women to participate in the competition, and the winner would be rewarded, and the reward would be different each time, which could be said to be a grand meeting of talented people and talented women.
Lin Yan saw that Huang Puying was so innocent, and she couldn't say anything, after all, this ninth princess was soaked in honey, how could she know what major events in the family and country were in the world.
Lin Yan somewhat understood, Emperor Lu asked her to accompany her in order to win the victory for herself, this is for the prestige of the Lu country, or to show the strength of her abilities to various countries, but these scales must be grasped by herself, Emperor Lu did not make it clear to himself, alas, it is not easy to be an emperor, especially to be a Ming monarch who wants to serve the country and the people.
After Lin Yan cleared her thoughts, she no longer had any resistance, and this time she should help Huang Puyao do one more thing, and she should return the favor.
There are six countries on this continent, Lu was originally a very strong and rich country, but because of the family problems left by the emperor, it was a good country to be ruined, and now it's okay, King Zhao is already stupid, and the internal problems of Lu can also be alleviated, and now the remaining foreign problems are the marriage with Hu Guo, and now she has become the eldest princess of Hu Guo and the second sister of Lu Huang.
It's really a headache for a family, for the sake of a throne, they don't hesitate to make their country into a miasma, I really can't figure out the thoughts of these ancients.
After some preparations, the envoy group of Lu Guo set off for Hu State, and those young talented women were very excited, because the League stipulated that the age of talented women participating in the League competition must be under twenty-five years old, and this time the half-hung talented girl Liu Yuzhu also went to Hu Country together.
Now, this Liu Yuzhu's title as the first talented woman and beauty in the capital has been terminated by Lin Yan, which really annoys her, but Liu Yuzhu is angry, but other talented women are very happy, that Liu Yuzhu is no longer surrounded by those talented people holding the moon, it is really fun for them.
For this result, Lin Yan didn't want to take the blame, in fact, she was too lazy to care about Liu Yuzhu being possessed by a dead soul at first, because this Liu Yuzhu was just a small person after all, not enough to change the course of history, she could have been her first talented woman and beauty in the capital, but she just died by herself and wanted to provoke Lin Yan, so it was no wonder that Lin Yan pulled her down from the altar.
Liu Yuzhu was very unhappy that Lin Yan also went to Huguo together, because with Lin Yan here, her Liu Yuzhu became a negative teaching material, she wanted to take advantage of this alliance to turn over, but she didn't think that Lin Yan would also go to Huguo, this is blocking her Liu Yuzhu's way, how can she be happy.
And the most important thing is that Lin Yan went to Huguo together, and her Liu Yuzhu had no chance to get close to Duanwang Huang Puyao, and coupled with the dissatisfaction of the ninth princess Huang Puying with her, this was even more cut off her chance to enter the Duanwang Palace, it seems that this time she must act according to her father's orders, anyway, the queen of Nahu is the sister of King Zhao, and Princess Zhao is her aunt Liu Yuzhu, this is the last chance, and this Lin Yan must be ruined. Liu Yuzhu thought hatefully.
Along the way, Huang Puyao took care of Lin Yan very much, although he was out of the house, it was not as good as the conditions in Duanwangfu, but Huang Puyao still arranged things tightly and orderly, he sent lotus, Hexiang accompanied Lin Yan to take care of her, and sent the two secret guards lent to Lin Yan that day to act as Lin Yan's guards to protect her, worried that Lin Yan would not be used to eating crude meals, and even brought a cook from the Duanwang Mansion to cook for Lin Yan, even if she was out of the house, she still spoiled Lin Yan like a princess, which made Lin Yan the object of envy and jealousy of those talented women.
And Lin Yan didn't refuse pretentiously, because she has long been used to this kind of life, she has been so spoiled by her senior brother Mu Feng since she was a child, and now she is so spoiled by Huang Puyao, and she doesn't feel anything wrong, if someone says that Lin Yan is greedy for vanity, it is a big mistake, Lin Yan has lived such a day since she was a child, she has long been accustomed to it, and she doesn't feel flattered at all, so what strange things those talented women say, Lin Yan should just listen to it, and there is no unhappiness.
Huang Puyao saw that Lin Yan was not half displeased with the strange words of those talented women, and his heart was relieved, he just wanted to be able to take good care of Lin Yan, and he didn't want Lin Yan to suffer, other senior brothers can do it, why can't he be a dignified Duanwang, if that's the case, he's too useless as a Duanwang.
Huang Puying knows her brother Huang Puyao's mind very well, although she is only fourteen years old, she also understands the truth.
Huang Puying asked his brother Huang Puyao: "Brother Huang, have you told Sister Yan?"
Huang Puyao shook his head: "No, the imperial brother doesn't dare to say it, I'm worried that Yan'er will refuse, if that's the case, maybe it will be difficult to see Yan'er in the future, let's get along like this first, and talk about it when your sister Yan'er has made up her mind and won't travel around anymore." β
Huang Puying saw that her brother said this, so she agreed, originally she wanted to help her brother Huang Puyao to ask Lin Yan, but fortunately she asked her brother first, otherwise it would be a good thing to do a bad thing.
After a long journey, the envoys of the Lu State finally arrived at the capital of the Hu State, the capital of the Hu State is very prosperous, and the Hu State is now the most powerful country among the six countries.
Lin Yan looked at the old post house, the furnishings in the house were very old, exuding a smell of rotten wood, how could people live, anyway, Lin Yan didn't want to live here, the smell was too pungent.
So, Lin Yan said to Huang Puyao: "Ah Yao, it's too bad here, just let the envoys go to the guest house, you look here, smell this smell again, in a few days, our people will be sick, I think this Hu country deliberately treated our Lu country envoys like this, since he Hu Guo can do the first year of junior high school, then our envoys can also do fifteen, what do you think?"
Huang Puyao also knew that the post house assigned to them in the country of Lu was very bad, but now that he was in the country of Hu, some things could only be endured, but he didn't expect that Lin Yan didn't want to be patient at all, and even proposed to go out directly to live in the inn, which only Lin Yan dared to think so.
It's great that Yan'er can agree to come to Huguo together, and Huang Puyao is very pleased.
In this way, the envoys of the Lu State refused to stay in the post house arranged by the Hu State, and actually chartered a luxury inn as a post house in the capital of the Hu State, which has never happened since the opening of this alliance, and now there is such an unimaginable thing, is this a counterattack launched against the dissatisfaction of the host country of the alliance?
But at this time, there was an incident in the streets and alleys of the capital of Hu Guo that Hu Guo deliberately embarrassed the envoys of Lu State, saying that the post house arranged by Hu State for Lu State was very bad, the houses were old, the furniture was tattered, and the food was tattered and rottenγγγγγγ For a time, how Hu Guo made things difficult for the envoys of Lu State, it was said that he had a nose and eyes, and for a time it was in an uproar in the capital of Hu State.
This is to attack the enemy's shield with the enemy's spear, it is really happy, Lin Yan, Huang Puyao, and Huang Puying are eating melon seeds in a luxurious inn to watch a play.
At this time, in the palace of Hu Guo, Hu Huang was furious at the queen: "Look at what good ideas you came up with, it's good now, Hu Guo has become a laughing stock among the six countries, how did you come up with this bad idea." β
Queen Hu didn't expect things to turn out like this, in the past, it was arranged like this for Lu Guo, but it was never rejected like this time, it seems that Liu Yuzhu is right, all this is because of that Lin Yan, saying that Lin Yan is not an ordinary woman, but a woman who is against the world, this time the Lu State envoy refused the arrangement of the post house, it seems that Lin Yan instigated it, it is really too bold and unforgivable, and it is absolutely necessary to destroy that Lin Yan.
It turned out that as soon as Liu Yuzhu arrived in the capital of Huguo, he found an opportunity to leave the envoy group of Lu and entered the palace to see the queen of Huguo, and said a lot of bad things about Lin Yan to the queen of Huguo, that is, he wanted to destroy Lin Yan by the hand of Huguo, and now with the refusal of the envoy of Luguo to stay in the Huguo Post House, this is even worse for Lin Yan.
