Saleh coughed for a long time with an extremely embarrassed look on his face, but the two people who were tired of being together didn't think he existed at all. They were still hugging each other like air, talking to each other from the bottom of their hearts.
"That's almost it. Yeyue, you are my Dashi princess. Can you act like a lady? And you, can you not act like a pervert! Can you act like a gentleman?" Saleh looked at Li Hong. His irregular hands were stroking up and down Yeyue's lower back, and he turned away and said viciously.
"I have to go back to the palace. If my father finds out, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the welcome dinner my father will prepare for you tomorrow." Yeyue said to Li Hong shyly, her face flushed.
Then after taking a look at Saleh next to him, he remembered that Brother Wang was sitting next to him when he was with Li Hongni.
"Have you always been here?" Yeyue, who was held by Li Hong's little hand and reluctant to leave, looked at Saleh and asked strangely.
"Nonsense, I came in with him." Saleh's forehead was covered with black lines. It turned out that he had been ignored by the queen from the beginning.
"Oh, then I'm going back, and you're not allowed to tell your father." Yeyue pointed her finger at Saleh and warned.
Saleh sighed helplessly, glared at Li Hong again, and then continued to ask Yeyue: "Can you tell me how you ran out of the palace?"
"Qingqiu." Yeyue Ying spoke softly, and after saying the eunuch's name, it floated away from Saleh's eyes and Li Hong's hand like a white cloud.
"What a good thing you did! If my father finds out that you two are already close to each other, just wait." Saleh stood up, looked at Li Hong, who was waving at Yeyue's tall back, and continued: "You'd better be more honest during the feast. I'll pretend I didn't see what happened today. This is not the Tang Dynasty. The defense between men and women here is even worse than in the Tang Dynasty. I didn't see her put on a veil as soon as she went out. !”
"If I don't tell you, if you don't tell me, do you think your father won't know? Don't forget, when we were in Chang'an, there was another person who knew about my affair with Ye Yue." Li Hong waved his hand for Saleh to sit down Next, he also sat down on the main seat and said lightly.
Now he has moved into the other courtyard of Tanglou, and here, Li Hong behaves like a master in every move, and Saleh, the prince of big food, still feels that he is the same as in the Tang Dynasty. The identity of a guest.
"He won't say it. After all, he still hopes that Yeyue can marry him. If the affair between Yeyue and you becomes known to everyone, if he marries him in the future, his face will be..."
"There is no such thing as a contingency. This time I come, I will not let him have any hope. But having said that, now I am already in your big food capital, whether it is the Sultan or several other families, It's time to send someone to contact me, right?" Li Hong watched the door open and Fang Zhan walked in with a letter in his hand.
"Your Highness, the Sultan of the Hashemite family wishes to see you."
"How's it going? It's really easy to say, whoever you say will come. Invite him to come." Li Hong waved his hand to Fang Zhan and looked at Saleh and said.
"In your Tang language, he is just a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken, and he has no good intentions." Saleh had no intention of leaving on his own after Sudan came over.
He is a prince with a legitimate reputation for eating. There is no need for him to choose to avoid Li Hong just because the Sultan visits him. And Sultan must also know that he is currently accompanying Li Hong in this tenement house.
Since he has nothing to care about himself, why should he care about his arrival? Moreover, he still wants to see what Sultan can talk to Li Hong in front of him today.
Of course, Sultan also knew that Saleh must be in the tenement building, and Yeyue might even be here, so he was mentally prepared when he came.
"Does it look like you are in my manor in the Tang Dynasty?" Li Hong, together with Saleh and Sultan on the left and right, walked out of the main building and walked in a more exquisite garden, pointing to the corridor with the gurgling water in front of them. Ting said.
"What a paradise! This is the Tang language I learned when I went to the Tang Dynasty last time. I am able to own such a large area of land in the capital of my great food, and then build a building full of oriental charm. I wonder why His Highness the Prince doesn't know about it. ?" Sudan chuckled.
Since returning to Dashi, the relationship between the two people had eased somewhat, but due to the competition between the families, it has returned to its former state again. Although it is said that because of the existence of Yeyue as a medium, the heads of the two major families began to test To ease the relationship.
But because Saleh knows better than anyone else, if nothing happens, the marriage between the two families is likely to be destroyed by Li Hong, and he also supports the marriage between his family and the Hashemite family to be destroyed by Li Hong.
Now that he is the heir to the Kingdom of Dashi, he can naturally inherit the throne of the monarch after his father's death and become the next monarch of Dashi.
But if his father marries the Hashemite family, he will inevitably make some concessions in order to secure his throne. What worries him most is that several major families, especially the Hashemite family, most want his father to agree to one condition. That is, from the beginning of the succession of the next monarch, the twelve nobles must jointly choose from the twelve nobles, instead of inheriting the throne from father to son like a hereditary system.
Therefore, if the father agrees to their conditions in order to relieve the pressure on himself and consolidate his throne, then his position will inevitably plummet in Dashi, and he will lose the noble status that he has been accustomed to for so many years, and thus become became a potential successor.
Li Hong glanced at Saleh, who was silent, and said with a smile: "This is all because your monarch is particularly gracious and specifically granted it to us for the sake of the friendship between Datang and Dashi. Here... naturally... Yeyue's contribution is indispensable. If she hadn't said good things to her father, the Tang Tower would not have been able to be built on such a large scale. "
"You came to eat with me this time, so you came because of Ye Yue? Or do you have other purposes?" Sultan was injured at the Central Army barracks outside Chang'an City. Unexpectedly, after he recovered, he was not injured. The arm was crippled, and now it is no different from ordinary people.
"What is the purpose of my coming here for a feast? I said I was sincerely invited by your prince, do you believe it?" Li Hong sat down in the pavilion. The gentle wind was not as strong as the legend, blowing It also gives people a comfortable feeling on the body.
The Sultan was not angry at Li Hong's answer. Instead, he reached out and took a delicate wooden box from his servant's hand, handed it to Li Hong, and then said: "These are the many things that I and my family have prepared for you." One of the gifts, I think you will like it very much, so I can’t wait for you to see it as soon as possible.”
Li Hong was not polite. When he saw Sultan put the wooden box on the table and pushed it towards him, he smiled and reached out to open the wooden box. He saw a shining golden sword inside, which was very characteristic of Dashi!
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a sword. The scabbard is entirely made of gold, and is inlaid with various dozens or hundreds of gems. The first time you open the wooden box, you will be impressed. A dazzling feeling.
The hilt of the sword is made of white jade, which was favored by the Tang Dynasty people. It gives people a warm and translucent feeling. The first thing I feel is that I want to put my hand on it and touch it.
Li Hong knew that this kind of sword was just for decoration and was not a sword used on the battlefield at all. In today's Dashi, it was just a way to show off wealth and status. The more expensive a sword looked, the more expensive it was. The more they can demonstrate their status.
And after the Sultan met Li Hong in Dashi for the first time, he was able to send such a great gift regardless of the previous suspicions of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. It is enough to imagine that the Hashim family seems to value His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty very much. .
He didn't pick up the sword immediately. After looking up and down, Li Hong looked up at Sultan, smiled and nodded, then slowly picked up the sword and held it in one hand. The hilt of the sword, under the expectation of Saleh and Sultan: "Don't tell me that the blade of the sword is also made of gold?" Li Hong looked at the expressions of the two people and said suddenly.
"Your Highness, you will know after you take it out." Sultan smiled politely, but began to evaluate again in his heart whether the gifts he brought could impress the equally wealthy and prosperous Prince of the Tang Dynasty.
After all, when he handed the sword to Li Hong just now, he thought Li Hong's first reaction after opening the wooden box would be to exclaim.
But to his surprise, Li Hong only nodded slightly, and didn't even touch the treasure in the wooden box immediately. Instead, after looking at it carefully, he picked it up without even a word of praise. Sword.
This series of actions and expressions are enough to show that this treasure, which would be immediately sighed even if it was placed on the body of the monarch Aviye, obviously did not play its due role in front of the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
It also explained that this gift of his, including other gifts, could not completely impress Li Hong, nor could he win over the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Hong slowly pulled out the sword. The sword body was not made of gold. The bright sword body was as bright as autumn water, and the blade was also extremely sharp.
However, looking at its material, it does not have the obvious characteristics of the so-called Damascus knife: it has the same pattern.
So Li Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief after taking a closer look at the sword and vaguely seeing that Dashi's forging technology had not surpassed that of the Tang Dynasty.
He can be sure that since the scabbard and hilt are so exquisitely made and forged with gold and jade, the sword body must also be made with their most advanced forging techniques. Now it looks like it is lagging behind the Tang Dynasty. In Li Hong's opinion, this made him happier than getting a sword with a sword full of gold.
