Presumably, the envoy would also tell Prince Chu Xuanyao what he just said.
Yi Qingyu smiled evilly and thought to himself.
I'll see if there's going to be a good show tomorrow.
In the court
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
All the people from Lanyue Kingdom performed their country's etiquette, and Yi Jinyi asked a few people to sit down.
This time a banquet is held to receive the envoys from the Lanyue Kingdom, which is every part of the etiquette.
Chu Xuanyao deliberately chose a position opposite Mo Yu.
When Mo Yu saw the hostile look on their faces, he immediately understood that it seemed that they had come with ill intentions.
"Someone, serve the food."
At Yi Jinyi's command, the palace maids brought out a variety of delicacies from the imperial kitchen.
He felt Chu Xuanyao's eyes fixed on Mo Yu. Although his eyes were unfriendly, he felt uncomfortable after being stared at for so long.
"Prince Chu has been exhausted from the journey. Tianyu Country doesn't have any particularly delicious food. I can only prepare some meals. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Chu Xuanyao was interrupted and shifted his gaze from Mo Yu. He picked up the chopsticks and took a light bite.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Today's delicacies are very good, and they are very surprising!"
Yi Jinyi had heard Chu Xuanyao's flattery so much that his ears were like calluses, so he nodded.
"As long as the prince likes it, eat more if you like it."
Chu Xuanyao took a few bites of food, put down his chopsticks, and spoke nonchalantly.
"Your Majesty, I was on my way to the capital and saw the prosperity of the imperial palace. The development of Tianyu Country is particularly rapid. Of course, the Ninth Prince's hospitality yesterday was also very good. I believe Yi Qingyu has made a great contribution!"
Yi Jinyi knew that Yi Qingyu must have said something in front of Chu Xuanyao.
However, he felt uncomfortable when he saw Chu Xuanyao glancing at Mo Yu from time to time, and pressed his fingertips hard on the dragon throne.
But the smile on his face remained, without any change.
"Your Highness is joking. Of course, the Ninth Prince has made great contributions."
Chu Xuanyao stood up, paced back and forth, glanced at Mo Yu, then turned around and looked at Yi Jinyi.
"But, I heard that Lord Mo is the head of all officials. I want to say a few more words, hoping that I will not offend the emperor."
Yi Jinyi knew what he wanted to say, but he could not express his feelings in front of the court, nor could he reveal his partiality towards Yu Moyu.
"But it's okay."
Chu Xuanyao smiled slightly, waiting for the emperor to say this.
"I think Lord Mo is not suitable for this position. Lord Ninth is so powerful, but he is not as good as... Haha... I am talking too much."
Chu Xuanyao said half of his words but did not continue, just to let people understand the hidden meaning he was expressing.
How could Mo Yu not understand Chu Xuanyao's obvious difficulties
It seemed that he came here just for him, but he didn't take him seriously at all.
I have been feeling unhappy recently because of my father's death. I didn't expect that this person really couldn't read people's faces and bumped into me directly.
Yi Jinyi's face looked ugly. He felt naturally uncomfortable that his people were openly insulted by a prince of a defeated country.
There was a hint of viciousness in Mo Yu's eyes, and then he smiled slightly, and said nonchalantly, with full of indifference.
"Oh? Really?"
Chu Xuanyao looked at Mo Yu, who remained calm and composed in the face of danger, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
This time the sarcasm did not achieve the desired effect, so naturally I was unhappy.
It turned out that Yi Qingyu was calmly observing what was happening in the palace in the dark.
Although what Chu Xuanyao said for him was not what he really said, it was also what he thought in his heart.
But what he wanted was not to be the head of all officials, but to be the only one in power.
He couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, and he felt a little better when he saw Chu Xuanyao making things difficult for Mo Yu. However, he looked grim when he saw Mo Yu's calmness.
When Chu Xuanyao heard Mo Yu's answer, he turned around and looked at Mo Yu.
Mo Yu originally lowered his head, looking at the food, then he stopped what he was doing and looked up at Chu Xuanyao.
The two people looked at each other, and a fierce war began in the air.
Yi Jinyi felt even more uncomfortable when he saw that he was being stared at by another man.
"Alright, alright, why is that what the prince said? Lord Mo has also made great contributions, so he is naturally qualified to take on this important position."
Chu Xuanyao was interrupted and turned around with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Your Majesty is right. I think so too. It's just an idea. I have said too much."
Mo Yu smiled gently, and there was a sense of disharmony in his eyes, but no one could sense a trace of hostility.
"Is that so? I think so too. The prince of Lanyue Kingdom is just thinking about it because he doesn't know that it was Marquis Weiwu who beat Lanyue Kingdom and made them beg for mercy."
Chu Xuanyao's face looked ugly. He was humiliated in public. His complexion became all kinds of colors, red and blue, and he felt very uncomfortable.
He stamped his feet hard, furious, and prepared to rush over.
Suddenly a hand grabbed his arm, and the envoy shook his head and signaled to him with his eyes.
Chu Xuanyao was very angry and felt uncomfortable. He had been spoiled in Lanyue Country, and he was humiliated in public, which made him feel ashamed.
"I...you...Mo Yu...you..."
Helplessly, he shook his sleeves vigorously and sat down.
Yi Qingyu saw that this prince from Lanyue Kingdom was nothing special, but it would be good enough if he could cause trouble for Mo Yu, so that some officials in the court would know how much he had contributed to Tianyu Kingdom.
Yi Jinyi felt extremely comfortable when he saw Mo Yu who fought back automatically, and Chu Xuanyao whose face was covered in bruises and reds.
However, Mo Yu still felt that what he had done was very light and not enough.
How could Mo Hexuan's death make him feel better with just a few words
I have been in a bad mood these past few days. My father's death always comes to my mind. When I think of the Lan Yue Kingdom, the hatred in my heart can't help but rise.
Chu Xuanyao was angry and sat down helplessly. Yi Jinyi saw that his people were not bullied or taken advantage of.
Looking at the current atmosphere, we must find a way to smooth things over.
"Okay, I'll ask some palace maids to prepare some meals."
Chu Xuanyao's face looked grim, and the servant behind him held him back from exploding.
"I obey your order."
Chu Xuanyao was counterattacked. Although he was furious, he could do nothing about it.
Everyone sat down, and the burning anger just now disappeared immediately. Mo Yu also sat down and tasted the wine in the glass.
The fingertips were tightly stuck to the edge of the cup, and the blue veins on the back of the hand were about to burst.
I suppressed the discomfort in my heart and thought about how ugly his face looked, and I felt much better.
