Shen Ao put the coconut fruit into the copper basin, but said unhurriedly: "The juice of the coconut fruit, if it is chilled, is the most delicious, but it is a pity that the sky is not beautiful, at this moment, it is cold, it only needs to be chilled for a moment, and it can be eaten." ”

He waited for a moment in front of everyone, then took out the coconut fruit from the copper basin, groped his fingers on the coconut fruit for a moment, smiled slightly, and pressed it lightly, the coconut fruit suddenly revealed a hole, probed the reed rod into the hole, and sucked it gently, and the juice in the coconut fruit brought a strong coolness and coconut fragrance.

Everyone was stunned, weird, really weird, this coconut fruit was obviously invulnerable, and everyone couldn't open it by many means, why did Shen Ao press it lightly, but easily opened it?

Among the ministers present, some of them used to sit tall with a calm appearance, and some of them saw the humiliation of the officials and were embarrassed. At this time, they all followed suit, their fingers stroked the coconut fruit, and under the careful touch, they found that there were a few weak points, so they pressed it with their thumbs, and the coconut fruit broke a hole.

The attendants sent reeds one after another, and the people in the palace poked the reeds into and sucked them gently, which was indescribably elegant and natural.

Zhao Ji was overjoyed, tasted the coconut water, and said to Prince Surya with a smile: "Aiqing, this stone fruit ...... No, the coconut fruit really has a different flavor, please sit down. ”

Prince Surya smiled slightly, his eyes fell on a wine table not far from Shen Ao, Shi Shiran went over and sat down cross-legged, his two servants obediently lined up behind him, and the two pairs of eyes fell on Shen Ao, revealing hatred.

Shen Ao didn't bother to care about them, he was just a prisoner of the country, what diplomacy had nothing to do with him, others didn't dare to offend this prince, what was Shen Ao afraid of, the emperor couldn't say that he had insulted the country, as long as the emperor didn't condemn him, as for what bullshit prince, he didn't care about it.

There are many princes in the depths of this kind of mountain, and others are rare, but Shen Ao knows that in the southern Xinjiang of this era, there are many small countries, and there are more princes than dogs, who is afraid of whom?

After drinking a few sips of coconut water, Shen Ao frowned, and stopped eating it, in the winter, this group of bastards invited people to eat coconut water, this idea is too creative.

The banquet officially began, the music suddenly sounded, and the embarrassment seemed to have changed the happy scene all of a sudden, that is, the prince of Nasurya, who was also smiling, raised his glass to congratulate the emperor for a thousand years, and then, poured a full glass of wine, walked to Shen Ao's case, looked at Shen Ao deeply, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, you and I seem to have a relationship, right?" ”

Shen Ao smiled and said, "If my guess is correct, it seems that the student has indeed met His Highness in a silk shop." ”

Prince Surya said enthusiastically: "I see, no wonder Xiao Wang thinks that Brother Shen is familiar, come, Xiao Wang will do it first as respect." ”

After that, Prince Surya really drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and looked at Shen Ao with a pair of dark eyes.

Shen Ao smiled and drank his glass.

Prince Surya said again: "Brother Shen's wisdom is admired by Xiao Wang, and the amount of alcohol is also excellent, haha, compared to the warriors of Mubara, Xiao Wang really admires Brother Shen, admires." "He looks very sincere like a spring breeze, if outsiders see it, they don't know and think that these two are old friends, and now they are reunited here!

A person behind Prince Surya suddenly stepped forward with his hands in his hands, with a slight sneer on his lips, and said a few words to Prince Surya.

Shen Ao looked at the person who was whispering to Prince Surya, seeing that this person was thin and dark-faced, and his lips were turned up, but he looked at Shen Ao with disdain, and said with a slight smile: "Your Royal Highness, I don't know what your squire said?" ”

Prince Surya looked very embarrassed and said, "My squire is just talking nonsense, Brother Shen don't be surprised." ”

Now it is said that Prince Surya is the protagonist in the banquet, which naturally attracts the attention of many people, and seeing him staying on Shen Ao's side, many people also pay attention.

Shen Ao continued calmly: "Students like to hear people's nonsense the most, why don't His Royal Highness the Prince translate one or two for students." ”

As soon as the words fell, Surya's subordinates chattered again, as if they were arguing with someone.

Prince Surya looked at Shen Ao with great embarrassment and said, "Brother Shen, this servant of mine is named Keha, and he just said that the Song people are still good at weaving, but when it comes to drinking, they are not as good as the men of the mud bharata." Brother Shen is not strange, he said it unintentionally, but his surname was a little more straightforward. ”

Isn't it strange? This is clearly a provocation!

Ten ** is still instructed by this prince, thanks to this prince Surya still making a peaceful old look, you must know that such a hypocrisy can be understood by anyone.

This kind of thing is just tacit, at least the two sides still maintain friendship on face.

Shen Ao smiled and said, "Huh? Do the Mubarats also like to drink? Yay, great! It's just that when it comes to drinking, the Song people can't compare with the Mumballa people, even the Turkic people, the Huns, and the Karasuma people. ”

When these words came out, there was a snickering in the hall, Shen Ao This guy is really bad, he always links the mud Bharats with the Turks, the Huns, these recognized barbarians, the mud Bharats prince wanted to punch several times, but he fought hard, but it was like a hammer on the cotton, and he couldn't get it back.

It's just that there are still many ministers sitting in danger, and suddenly feel that something is wrong, the dignified Heavenly Dynasty is talking about a courtesy, Prince Surya is a guest from afar, as a kingdom, he should be treated with courtesy, the guest is rude, the host should fight against each other? In this way, what is the difference between the Great Song Dynasty and the beasts? Shen Ao is just a little clever, but the two countries rely on great wisdom, how can a prisoner understand this?

As for Zhao Ji, his mood at the moment is extremely complicated, Shen Ao and the prince are competing against each other, which makes him look happy and feel a kind of pleasure from his heart, but intellectually, he understands that this is not in line with etiquette, even if the Nibora people are rude first, how can Da Song be with him.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Ji was relieved again, what is Shen Ao's identity? It's just a scholar, not an official, and it doesn't represent the imperial court, a great Song Dynasty citizen and the envoy of the Nibra Kingdom said something that shouldn't be said, and it didn't represent the attitude of the imperial court, and it had nothing to do with him; This Shen Ao wants to mess around, just let him make trouble.

made up his mind, but the face behind the crown bead showed a little coldness.

Shen Ao's words just now made the prince of Ni Boluo look embarrassed, but fortunately, his face was dark, and he couldn't see the gaffe if he didn't look closely, he looked at Shen Ao deeply, but he felt that the person in front of him was like a hedgehog, oil and salt didn't enter, and there was no way to take him for a while, and this person was unstoppable, pointing east and west, who knows what he would say in the next moment.

The reason why this prince Surya has repeatedly gained the upper hand in Bianjing is because the officials who get along with him are submissive, for fear that because of his words, he will anger the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so Surya goes further, they retreat an inch, Surya advances a foot, they retreat a foot, and now they meet Shen Ao, a guy who only relies on playing tricks, Surya also sensibly did not continue to entangle with Shen Ao for the time being, thinking about it, he returned to his seat and stopped talking to Shen Ao.

When the wine was hot, the banquet was gradually pushed forward, and the officials of the Teaching Department also entered the hall one after another, dancing and singing, which was very lively; Especially an official recorder, who sang the song that Shen Ao taught Zhen Zhen last time, and everyone put aside the battle for a while and focused on appreciating this beautiful singing voice.

With a little drunkenness, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and when the officials retreated, the Tibetan envoy held a glass of wine, and under the attention of everyone, slowly walked to the table of Prince Surya, and said in a sandwiched Chinese dialect: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Daraji has admired it for a long time, and now I say that on behalf of the leaders of the Tibetan tribes, I would like to give you a cup, and I hope that the Tibetan and Nibra will be friendly for generations and resist the strong enemy together." ”

Thirty years ago, Nibora was still a vassal state of Tibet, and was asked by Tibet to give all kinds of property and grovel. But now, with the reversal of the times, Tibet has been repeatedly invaded by the Western Xia, losing a large area of fertile land, and the contradictions between the various tribes have also erupted, fighting each other, and the glory is no longer there. Now, with the support of the Great Song Dynasty, the tribes finally reached a reconciliation and jointly resisted the attack of the Western Xia, but the country's situation plummeted, and they had to throw an olive branch to the original vassal state.

Prince Surya smiled, but did not take up the wine, and his dark eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.

The Tibetan envoy was suddenly extremely embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to drop or continue to raise the wine glass in his hand.

Prince Surya's gaze finally fell on the royal case, and those eyes were bright, as if he wanted to see through Zhao Ji behind the crown bead at a glance; Then he said slowly: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, may I ask, should Xiao Wang drink this glass of wine or not?" ”

Prince Surya's speech was extremely slow, and he kept increasing his tone word by word, and the smile on his face loomed, leisurely like an idle cloud and a wild crane.

The hall was suddenly silent, and the needle drop could be heard, and many people's hearts became nervous, and they looked towards Zhao Ji behind the imperial case.

Prince Surya's meaning couldn't be clearer, drinking this glass of wine means that the two countries of Song and Ni have made an alliance, and the mud country is a vassal to the Great Song Dynasty, and naturally it has become a brother state with the Tibetan tribes. But there is a premise, the Great Song Dynasty must agree to the credentials submitted by the Nibora Kingdom, otherwise the matter of claiming the oath of ministers will have to be delayed; Since the peace agreement has not yet been reached, it is naturally better not to drink this glass of wine.

Although it was just a glass of wine on the surface, secretly, it was a threat, and Su Erya kicked the ball to Zhao Ji's feet; If Zhao Ji nodded this head, then it means that the Great Song Dynasty recognized the conditions in the Nibora State Book; But if you don't nod your head, even if the envoys of the Tubo Kingdom want to blame, they will blame the Great Song Dynasty, which the Great Song Emperor did not allow Xiao Wang to drink.

Zhao Jicai let go of his heart a little, at this time, seeing that Su Erya took the opportunity to make trouble again, his face was already pale, if it wasn't for the presence of the envoys of Tubo, Dali and other countries, he was afraid that he would have already brushed his sleeves away, and snorted coldly in a low voice, but he said calmly: "The wine is in Aiqing's hands, whether it should be drunk or not, it should be Aiqing's own consideration." The tone was heavy, and he kicked the ball back.
