Yeluyan looked like he had seen a ghost, but because Mu Mingtang listened to it often, he didn't think there was anything wrong. She said, "I didn't know you were already seated. Besides, didn't I stumble on the outside?"
"Then do you think those people outside are more important than me?"
Here again, Mu Mingtang rolled his eyes, completely ignoring him.
After all, this banquet is just a political form. The banquet is fake, and it is true that it provides opportunities for the two sides to contact each other. After a banquet, there are praises everywhere. The bigwigs are staggering and courteous. They are very busy, but to outsiders, it is a bit boring.
This was the case with Mu Mingtang, no one paid attention to the food and drink during the whole banquet, and even the singing and dancing at the banquet, because they were in line with the scene of negotiation, were well arranged, so it was really nothing to watch.
Halfway through the banquet, the atmosphere gradually weakened. Yeluyan, who had always been quiet, suddenly stood up, everyone moved, and the whole audience looked at him.
Yeluyan made a Khitan ceremony to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty Emperor Ye, I have come from Beirong with the sincerity of negotiating peace, as well as my father Khan's blessing to Emperor Ye. When I left Shangdu, my father Khan once Repeatedly told me that when I meet Emperor Ye, I must pass on the sincerity of our Khitan to His Majesty."
The emperor smiled when he heard this: "The prince has a heart, and Beirong has this heart, and I am happy to see it succeed."
Mu Mingtang felt that Yeluyan had something to say, but she didn't think that Yeluyan came out on purpose just to flatter the emperor. Sure enough, immediately after, Yeluyan clapped his hands, and a group of women dressed in alien costumes filed in, saluted the emperor according to the Khitan etiquette, and bowed down to the ground.
Everyone didn't know why, so Yeluyan continued: "This is a gift prepared by the father Khan to give to allies, all of these beauties are our Khitan beauties, among them Wanyanduo is the pearl of the grassland, the daughter of the Khan of the Tayan tribe, I don't know. She is the dream of many Khitan warriors. Now these beauties are dedicated to Emperor Ye, I hope the friendship between our two countries will last forever, intermarriage will continue, and the friendship between Qin and Jin will be forever.”
Mu Mingtang knew from the beginning that if something went wrong, there must be a demon, and Yeluyan couldn't say good things about the emperor for no reason, but she didn't expect that Yeluyan's plot was even bigger than she thought.
Mu Mingtang looked at the beauties, all of them had bright eyes and white teeth, high noses and deep eyes. They were obviously aliens, and Wanyanduo, who stood in the first place, was even more dazzling. Mu Mingtang looks good-looking from an outsider, but it is conceivable that Wanyanduo is a very rare beauty within their Khitan tribe.
Yeluyan, or the Beirong Emperor, had a big picture.
These beauties are definitely not just for the emperor and others to enjoy, especially Wanyanduo is a tribal princess, no matter who enters, it is impossible to give a low-ranking position at will.
When the Beirong Emperor sent a beautiful woman, the emperor could not always give it to his courtiers. Wouldn't that be beating the Khitan Emperor's face in public? Class equality, most of these women can only stay in the royal family. And so many beautiful emperors may not be able to digest it alone, and they have to give a few more to the kings.
The days of the founding of the Ye Dynasty were still short, and the clan was not huge. Apart from the emperor's sons, there were only Xie Xuanchen left by the deceased Xie Yi, and several other side branches of the Xie clan. The emperor's harem is easy to say, there are many people in the palace, and a few exotic beauties can't turn the water, but other palaces may not.
Because of Beirong's face, the palaces of the princes had to hold these exotic beauties. If it took a long time, they would give birth to the heirs of the royal family of the Ye Dynasty, and even come into contact with the power center... Mu Mingtang didn't dare to think that the emperor of Beirong wanted to doing what.
Mu Mingtang can understand, and the emperor and others obviously understand. However, the overall situation of peace talks between the two countries is ahead, and they have to accept this gift even if they do not accept it. The emperor pondered for a while and said, "I appreciate the kindness of Emperor Beirong. However, Wanyanduo is a tribal princess after all. If I arbitrarily refer to marriage, it may be abrupt. It is better to let the princess choose by herself. Who?"
Wanyanduo is the daughter of a tribal khan, not a clan woman at the national level. The emperor called her a princess to give her face. Everyone had a headache when they heard the emperor's words. The emperor didn't want to offend people and started to play football.
If it was a Han woman, she would be so embarrassed that she couldn't lift her head when she heard this, how could she really pick on someone. However, Beirong is not bound by etiquette like the Central Plains, and Wanyanduo is very daring. Hearing that, she actually raised her head and looked straight at a person: "Little girl Wanyanduo, I have heard for a long time about King Qiyang. Da Ming, I would like to serve the prince for life."
Mu Mingtang snorted inwardly, "Hey, this is the legend of watching a play among the crowd, but finally found that his house was burnt down?"
After Wanyanduo said these words, the audience was silent, and everyone turned to look at Xie Xuanchen. Even Wanyanduo blushed and looked at him enthusiastically and boldly.
Jiang Mingwei also looked at Xie Xuanchen in amazement. If she remembered correctly, in the original book, Xie Xuanji's harem had a very high-profile member. That woman is from an alien race, can sing and dance, is warm and bold, and can stand out among so many beauties in Xie Xuanji's harem. She has a name in the plot, which shows that she is beautiful and very favored.
There are a lot of women in Xie Xuanji in the original book. Ordinary beauties are not worthy of leaving names in the book. Those who can be remembered are exceptionally outstanding. Especially in the later period of the book, Xie Xuanji ascended the throne as emperor, and accepted the harem even more recklessly, so more and more beauties were drowned in the wave of the harem. The only people who can participate in the plot in the book are Mu Mingtang, who is the substitute and wife, the interracial princess who loves and kills each other, the charming and scheming cinnabar mole, and the white moonlight Jiang Mingwei who lives in memory.
Even Lianhan, who is very favored now, actually has no role in the book at all, which is one of the reasons why Jiang Mingwei has never taken Lianhan seriously. However, Jiang Mingwei is a little confused now. She clearly remembers that the famous foreign harem of Xie Xuanji, the foreign beauty who fell in love with him and killed half a book, seems to be called Wanyan Duo. , from the North Rongtayan tribe.
Later, when Xie Xuanji began to recruit the world, it was through Wanyanduo who revolted the Tayan tribe and had a great help.
Ye Chaokong has money but no military power, but Tayan is a nomadic people in the grasslands. The men of the tribe can walk, ride horses, and drink water. After the alliance between Tayan and Xie Xuanji, Xie Xuanji provided them with salt, iron and huge amounts of money, and Tayan helped Xie Xuanji send troops. It was also from this time that Wanyanduo really stepped over the national position, followed Xie Xuanji wholeheartedly, and competed for favor in Xie Xuanji's harem.
But why now, Wanyanduo confessed to Xie Xuanchen as soon as she opened her mouth
Jiang Mingwei is not looking forward to adding people to Xie Xuanji's backyard, so that one less person can share her favor with her. Jiang Mingwei can't ask for it, not to mention that he is a known and very strong opponent in the plot. But Jiang Mingwei knew the plot behind and understood the importance of the Tower Smoke Alliance to Xie Xuanji. Compared with this kind of necessary assistance, one more rival for favor is second.
Did Wanyanduo admit the wrong person? She should love Xie Xuanji deeply. But Jiang Mingwei herself felt that this possibility was unlikely. Xie Xuanchen's reputation was so loud that Wanyanduo said that King Qiyang had a chance to admit his mistake.
Jiang Mingwei was completely confused. She looked at Xie Xuanchen, and then quietly at Xie Xuanji. She didn't know whether to wait for Xie Xuanchen to accept it or not.
As far as everyone's eyes went, Xie Xuanchen was in the focus, still calm. Hearing Wanyanduo's words, he just glanced back at her, and said casually, "No."
The atmosphere in the field was disturbed, and Wanyanduo was stunned with a flushed face, as if she did not expect a man to reject her. Although Wanyanduo was more enthusiastic and bold than the Central Plains women, she was a woman after all, and she was born with a disadvantage in the Fengyue Field. Her initiative to show her love was extremely outrageous, and she was rejected by men in public... Not to mention that Wanyanduo was a beautiful tribal beauty with all the stars and the moon, even if she was just an ordinary woman, she would be embarrassed to death.
Wanyanduo's face turned from red to white, embarrassed and aggrieved, tears glistening faintly in her eyes. The beauty is embarrassing, many people can't see it, and the man who is more good said: "Beauty matches a hero, Wang An is full of glory, so many people can't envy the beauty of this kind of beauty. The prince doesn't give face to the beauty like this. , it would be too unsympathetic to Xiangxiyu."
I don't know who was next to him and said, "King An doesn't accept beauties, but the princess manages it strictly?"
The other party was joking, but Mu Mingtang knew that this was not a joke at all. Mu Mingtang was originally the victim of murder, but when he said this in front of so many people, it seemed that everything was Mu Mingtang's fault.
This is obviously forcing Mu Mingtang to express his position, gnawing silver teeth and swallowing blood. Mu Mingtang was furious, she was about to say something, but Xie Xuanchen had already said: "If you don't want it, you don't want it, it's my business, what are you doing with the princess? Besides, how can the princess manage strictly, and what if she doesn't manage it well? ? It's your turn to take care of me and the princess' family affairs?"
The person who spoke was choked and disgraced, and suddenly smiled embarrassedly, and did not dare to speak any more. Xie Xuanchen not only did not give face to the beauties, but also did not give face to all of them. If he scolds you, he scolds you, regardless of the occasion.
When Wanyanduo was told this, she couldn't even lift her head up, and was crumbling on her knees on the ground, and the other men felt pity when they saw it. Originally, in such a big state banquet, it was an honor for a foreigner to present a beauty, and no man would refuse it, let alone a beautiful woman like Wanyanduo, who had already fallen in love with him. The men on both sides felt embarrassed. It would be great if the people Wanyanduo said were replaced by them, but unfortunately, it was Xie Xuanchen.
It was Xie Xuanchen, he even refused to be envied by so many men.
Wanyanduo was slapped in the face one after another, and Yeluyan couldn't get over it. He sank his face and said, "Wanyanduo is the number one beauty of Tayan, and the pearl of Beirong grassland. When King An said this, did he despise the Tayan tribe or our Beirong?"
The purpose of Bei Rong's trip was to negotiate peace, and the emperor and courtiers could not ask for peace with Bei Rong. Now that the peace talks have not started, it would be really bad if you offend the Beirong messenger.
Jiang Honghao quickly glanced up and saw that the emperor's face changed slightly. With sweat in his palm, he took the initiative to stand up and said: "Princess An, it is your duty to be a virtuous wife for your wife, and to spread branches and leaves for the royal family. The official family gave you a marriage as a reward, and you must not To be spoiled and spoiled, to lose the dignity of a woman, and to live up to the grace of the Holy One."
Jiang Honghao is Mu Mingtang's nominal adoptive father. Although Mu Mingtang and the Jiang family have basically torn their faces, they are still more filial than heaven in public. When Jiang Honghao spoke to Mu Mingtang, he naturally had an ethical advantage.
When Mu Mingtang heard Jiang Honghao's words, he immediately wanted to scold him, shameless, dare to show his father's money in front of her? Why did she marry Xie Xuanchen in the first place, what is the truth of the marriage, doesn't Jiang Honghao have any points? Even passers-by knew that Mu Mingtang was sold to the Qiyang Palace as a political victim, but Jiang Honghao was so embarrassed to be kind in front of everyone
Mu Mingtang gritted his teeth in anger, but Jiang Honghao was her adoptive father after all, and Mu Mingtang was unreasonable even if he was right. She was thinking about how to refute, Xie Xuanchen lightly pressed her hand, glanced at Jiang Honghao, and her voice became cold: "Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated Jiang Zai yet, congratulations to Jiang Zai, deputy envoy Rong. It's a pity that I was ill at the time and didn't know about it. Jiang Zaizhi was kind to the princess one by one. Could it be that according to your meaning, I am recovering now, and it is all thanks to the kindness of the Jiang family? "
Everyone could see Xie Xuanchen's actions just now, and sure enough, immediately after, they heard Xie Xuanchen venting for his princess. Xie Xuanchen's words involved the emperor, which can be described as a puddle of muddy water, and none of the people present dared to answer. Jiang Honghao didn't want to pick it up either, but he was called, so he had to bite the bullet and reply: "Xiaguan dare not. An Wangji has his own good looks, and Xiaguan dare not take credit."
"So you still know." Xie Xuanchen's eyes were cold, he used to be good-looking, but at the moment he restrained his expression, and the sharp and sternness in his appearance came to his face, "If you still have some self-knowledge, don't let me hear this again. Such words. Everything about the princess is equivalent to me, and if you threaten her, you will threaten me."
Xie Xuanchen's eyes were unstoppable, and the cold air was piercing, staring at Jiang Honghao with substance. Although Yeluyan didn't understand what kind of grievance Xie Xuanchen had with this Lord Jiang, but looking at Xie Xuanchen's eyes at the moment, he finally felt the feeling of Xie Xuanchen in the rumor.
He said, how could those rumored to be one hundred and invincible God of War, the battle flag of the Ye Dynasty activities, how could it really be a harmless little white face. His feeling is not wrong, Xie Xuanchen is indeed not a good-natured good-natured.
He was just being clingy and coquettish to his princess.
