"Otherwise, let her be your imperial concubine."
"...!"? As soon as these words came out, Nan Yan felt that the whole hall fell silent, and her own eyes widened all of a sudden.
What did this person say
Let yourself be Monk's concubine
Suddenly, a burst of anger burned from the soles of the feet to the top of the head. This is no longer a joke, it is an insult to the diplomatic relations between the two countries!
She glared at Mandu angrily, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that?!"
When Mandu heard the angry words, he turned his head to look at Xiang Nanyan, but his face was very calm, and there seemed to be a little smile in the corner of his eyes, and he said, "That's what it means."
"you-"
Seeing that Nanyan was about to get angry, Monk hurriedly stepped forward, and smoothed things over and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, Concubine, and uncle Mandu, don't make jokes."
His face was still gentle, as if a smile was born on his face.
Turning his head to Nan Yan said: "Don't mind."
"..."
"This uncle of mine likes to talk nonsense after drinking a little wine."
"Hahahahahaha."
Mandu immediately laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Monk's shoulder, and said, "It's still my nephew who understands me."
Nan Yan still stared at him.
She found that although the Mandu lord was smiling, there was no smile in those eyes.
He said to Monk: "What Wei Chen said just now was indeed a joke, but there is one sentence, it is not a joke."
"Oh? What words?"
"In His Majesty's palace, there is not a single noble concubine."
"..."
"My minister selected some young and beautiful women for His Majesty, and will send them to His Majesty in a few days. Your Majesty will take a look, and if there are any you like, you might as well stay."
This is another blatant start to send women to the emperor.
Nanyan listened, only felt the smog, couldn't bear it, turned around and wanted to leave, but Monk still smiled and said: "Uncle's kindness, I will naturally accept it."
"That's good."
Man Du said, took the wine glass and turned to leave again.
However, after taking two steps, he stopped again and looked back at Nan Yan's back.
A ray of light flashed in his eyes.
Monk walked to Nan Yan's side and said with a smile, "Just now, I offended you."
Nan Yan turned to look at him.
Now, I understand a little bit what Zhu Feng and the others said before.
Although Monk became the emperor, it seemed that he was not free.
Walking this way, it can be seen that the courtiers around him are very casual with him. Except for some confidantes, other important ministers who hold great power have a subtle attitude towards him.
Same as this one.
Nan Yan felt a little sympathy for him, but she didn't say anything, she just said lightly: "It's okay, if it sounds bad, I just don't listen to it."
Monk smiled and said, "This is a good habit."
Nan Yan glanced at him.
I'm afraid, he also often hears bad words.
Monk and she looked at each other, and then smiled: "Please take a seat.
He specially placed Nanyan's seat at the bottom of his throne, and after Nanyan thanked him, he sat there.
Monk sat back on his throne.
When the emperor and the guest of honor were seated, all the people in the hall went to their seats one after another and sat down. Nan Yan immediately saw that the person sitting right next to him was Ari Silan.
Beside him, there was an elderly, charming beauty.
From the looks of it, it was either his mother or his sister.
A pair of phoenix eyes stared at him intently.
Being stared at by a beautiful woman may not always feel good, especially with such sharp eyes, as if trying to see through herself, Nan Yan couldn't help sweating a little.
She coughed lightly, raised her head, and looked across.
However, the seat opposite King Nanli was empty.
Then, should it be King Beili
He wasn't there
Nan Yan remembered that Zhu Feng and the others had mentioned that these two great kings were originally the right-hand men of the emperor of the Kingdom of Tan, but obviously, after he ascended the throne, because of Mengke's reliance on Arisilan, Beili King Axig had already separated from him.
The previous battle in Peking was fought against him.
Originally, I thought that I could meet him tonight to clarify some things, but I didn't expect that he didn't attend.
Isn't he coming to the emperor's banquet
Nan Yan was muttering in her heart when Monk, who was sitting above, stood up.
He said: "Everyone, today is the day when Si Nanyan, the noble concubine of the Yan Kingdom, first arrived in our country. I specially set up a banquet to entertain the distinguished guests. Everyone raise their glasses to respect this distinguished guest."
After speaking, he picked up the wine glass in front of him.
The other officials also raised their glasses.
Seeing this, Nan Yan hurriedly stood up, and picked up the gold cup placed on the table in front of her, which was already filled with fine wine.
Everyone toasted her, and she also said politely: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you all."
Then, covered with long sleeves, took a sip of wine.
so spicy!
In the past in Yan Country, she drank a little wine from time to time, although it was not a huge amount, but the amount of alcohol was not bad.
However, the wine in the country is too strong.
Drinking this sip is like swallowing a piece of red-hot coal, scalding it from the mouth to the throat.
Nan Yan's eyes turned red all of a sudden.
She tried her best not to cough.
Ari Silan, who was sitting at the bottom, saw her like this and said, "Are you okay?"
Nan Yan didn't speak, just smiled politely at everyone, then put down the wine glass, and sat back on the seat.
Mrs. Nuomin on the other side glanced at them, with a smile on her lips, she drank a cup silently.
At this time, Monk clapped his hands again, and heard a burst of drum music outside the hall. Everyone's attention was attracted, and when they looked up, they saw Princess Baoyin wearing a slim horse riding suit, holding a Whip, entered the hall with several women singing and dancing.
This is the dance of the country.
After all, they are grassland peoples. Their dances come from their daily life, and they are all related to horseback riding and hunting. Therefore, the whip dance reflects this kind of life.
The graceful dance is full of strength, showing not only the softness of women, but also a heroic posture.
Nan Yan was dumbfounded.
After a while, the song ended.
All the people around clapped their hands in admiration, and several young officials stared straight at Princess Baoyin, saying repeatedly: "It's so beautiful."
It's really beautiful.
Nan Yan stared at Princess Baoyin, and couldn't help but think in her mind, why isn't she as good as her
Just as he was thinking, suddenly, there was another burst of applause outside the hall.
A deep voice said: "Okay."
Upon hearing this voice, many people in the hall changed their expressions, and even Munch, who was originally smiling, had a slight flicker in his eyes.
Nan Yan raised her head and saw a tall figure appearing at the entrance of the main hall.
