Nan Yan originally looked at Wu Yingqiu and Wu Ding, they both seemed to sense her gaze and looked over, but when they heard that the envoy from the Kingdom of Tan had arrived, they all withdrew their gazes again.
Turning around, I saw a group of people coming in from outside.
The ones leading the way were Ye Zheng who greeted the envoy at the door, and the tall Azlan.
Seeing Ari Silan, Nan Yan frowned subconsciously.
After all, the unpleasant memory of being taken away by him has not been completely eliminated, and seeing him at this moment, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
The same is true for Zhu Feng.
However, there was no anger on his face, just a calm look.
After watching them walk into the golden building, Ari Silan stepped forward and bowed to him: "Greetings to Emperor Yan."
Zhu Feng raised his hand: "Special envoy, please get up."
Only then did Azlan straighten up.
Almost subconsciously, his gaze immediately turned to Nan Yan who was sitting beside Zhu Feng.
Nan Yan also looked at him.
However, unlike Arisilan's smiling eyes, there was a little scrutiny in her eyes.
Because Wu Yingqiu and his son were sitting next to him.
However, Ari Silan didn't even look at them, as if she didn't know them at all, she just bowed to herself: "Young lady, it's been a long time."
Nan Yan glanced at him cautiously, then nodded.
Nanyan's attitude was naturally alienated and indifferent.
After all, she is a noble concubine, and on such an occasion, it is impossible to have too much communication with Ari Silan.
However, Arisilan's gaze stayed on her for a while.
Especially, seeing her protruding belly.
Although Nanyan had communicated with Monk several times before, he already knew that she was pregnant with Liujia, but it was only after seeing it with his own eyes that he suddenly had the feeling that "this turned out to be true".
For some reason, my heart suddenly felt a little empty.
Especially, recalling the last time I saw her in the Jinling Palace, she was just a plainly dressed, slender and feminine court lady, but now, she has become a noble concubine with exquisite makeup and all over her body.
This feeling made him feel a little bit of a sense of confusion.
Although Arisilan's eyes only stayed on her for a moment longer, but under the eyes of everyone, this moment has already made many people feel something.
Zhu Feng, who was sitting directly above, frowned immediately.
But before he could say anything, Ari Silan turned his head and looked at Wu Yingqiu who was sitting on the other side.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "This one seems to be someone I have never seen before."
Nan Yan's breathing tightened slightly.
Zhu Feng also glanced at him, and then said: "The special envoy has met many people before when he was envoy to our country. You have indeed never met this one. Let me introduce you."
After finishing speaking, Wu Yingqiu had already stood up.
Zhu Feng said: "He is Duke Cheng."
Ari Silan said: "I have long admired you as the great name of the Duke."
Wu Yingqiu also bowed his head and saluted to him: "I have seen the special envoy."
…
When the two met and saluted, Nan Yan was careful and watched closely, at this moment, she couldn't help frowning.
The two of them are not a little different.
Of course, she also understood that if the two of them really got along with each other in private, they would definitely not show it to others.
Perhaps, we still need to find time to find out about this matter.
Thinking of this, she reminded herself again.
Take your time.
Zhu Feng looked at this scene indifferently, as if nothing happened. Of course, nothing happened in fact. When Arisilan turned around, he looked at him again, and said, "Special envoy, Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After speaking, he walked to the other side and sat down.
As soon as the guests arrived, the ladies in the court naturally brought refreshments immediately. At this time, the Minister of Rites who was sitting below asked, "Special envoy, you just came to our country of Yan last year as an envoy. I don't know why you came this time?"
Arisilan looked up at him, and then at the people present.
However, before he could speak, Zhu Feng said: "The special envoy just arrived, so he must be very tired. Why don't you rest for a while, if there is anything, we can talk about it later."
Arisilan smiled and said, "Being obedient is worse than being respectful."
Zhu Feng clapped his hands lightly.
Immediately, there was a burst of drum music in the garden in front of the Golden Building, and a group of gorgeously dressed dancers came out from both sides with lotus steps and began to dance lightly.
Singing and dancing are of course necessary for receiving envoys.
Everyone's attention was immediately attracted.
However, Nan Yan was sitting in her seat, but she could vaguely feel that Ari Silan's eyes seemed to be watching her all the time.
However, when she looked at him, she saw that he was enjoying the singing and dancing outside.
Nan Yan looked at him.
Then, he looked at Wu Yingqiu on the other side.
Still nothing unusual.
These two people, if not really no problem, then they are too calm.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and sat up straight again.
Because it was daytime, there was no banquet and no wine. Everyone just sipped green tea, ate exquisite pastries, and watched the singing and dancing outside. It was rare to be so elegant.
After a while, a song and dance was over.
Those dancing girls were graceful, came forward and bowed down in front of them.
Even though the dance has stopped, their posture is still beautiful and picturesque. Every time they raise their hands and throw their feet, they are all like the ladies in the painting.
Arisilan said with a smile: "The singing and dancing of the Yan Kingdom is indeed the best in the world."
Zhu Feng smiled faintly.
Arisilan said again: "This time, the emissary also brought the songs and dances of our country, and made a fool of myself."
After speaking, he also clapped his hands.
Suddenly, there was another burst of drum music from the front of the garden.
And the sound of the drums was a bit different from what I heard before. The rhythm of the drums was very fast, and there was a sense of oppression in the rush.
It feels like a classic on the battlefield.
Nan Yan frowned involuntarily.
She hadn't forgotten that the last time Arisilan went on a mission to Yan Country, the song and dance he brought was Princess Baoyin, and she almost dedicated Princess Baoyin to Zhu Feng.
this time—
Just as he was thinking, a group of dancing girls walked out in front of him.
They are dancers from the Tan Kingdom. Their clothes are different from those dancers from the Yan Kingdom just now. They are dressed in animal skins, with strong arms and thighs exposed. The dancing posture is not soft, but it looks full of strength.
It's singing about war scenes.
Of course, Yan Kingdom also has this type of singing and dancing, and there are even quite a few.
The most famous one is the famous "Qin Wang Breaking the Array". It is said that when it is played, the sound is powerful and majestic, which is not inferior to this kind of drum music.
Therefore, Nanyan also looked at it with appreciation.
After a while, the song ended, and everyone was still a little indulged in the magnificent dance, but one of the beautiful dancers walked into the golden building with small steps.
All the way to Zhu Feng.
