The situation was completely reversed in the end. Even Emperor Xuanren, who had not cared much at first, was very pleased - after all, he had expected to lose before the start and was mentally prepared. Such a reversal was a big surprise - Emperor Xuanren was happy and liked to share it with others. As a meritorious official, Wei Tingyu naturally had to be rewarded.
Wei Tingyu accepted it without hesitation, thus firmly directing Liu Qi's hatred towards himself.
Originally, Liuqi was sure to win, but Wei Tingyu showed up, someone he got from nowhere to mess things up. How could Liuqi not hate him? In fact, Wei Tingyu had attracted much attention since Emperor Xuanren's birthday banquet, but his status, how should I put it, seemed a little high and low in front of the envoys of other countries. Even if they visited deliberately, he simply ignored them. Besides, no matter what purpose these people came with, it seemed to have nothing to do with Wei Tingyu.
That's it, every time he appears, it's hard for you to ignore him.
At this moment, the people of Liuqie were looking at him with eyes that seemed to want to eat someone, but Wei Tingyu remained motionless, which made people extremely annoyed. However, the more you glared at him, the more he smiled back at you. However, that smile seemed so sarcastic no matter how you looked at it, which almost made you furious and made you feel greatly inferior.
From Qi Chao's point of view, it was quite satisfying. At almost the same time, Emperor Xuanren coughed, telling Wei Tingyu to restrain himself a little and not to make others angry.
When they ate the food again, it didn't taste good at all. Qi Chao was in high spirits and frequently invited the people of Liuqi to eat more. After all, the variety of food in Liuqi was relatively scarce, which was a well-known fact. When they returned, it would not be so easy to eat again.
It is a common practice to attack the opponent's relatively weak point.
When the banquet was over, everyone in Liuqi had gloomy faces and looked quite unhappy. However, during the entire banquet, Xichi just became a guest and had no intention of making his presence felt at all, which was really surprising.
However, both Emperor Xuanren and the officials of Qi Dynasty all responded to changes with the principle of remaining unchanged. It would have been fine if Xichi did nothing, but if he insisted on doing something, it would be hard to say whether he would suffer a loss or succeed.
Xiao Yu had already left with his people, but after a while, he seemed to have thought of something and turned back to say goodbye to Li Ruoshui. His originally gloomy face unconsciously softened several degrees, indicating that he had a very pleasant time with her in Xiangtan today.
I don’t know whether Xiao Yu did it unintentionally or he had already seen through Li Ruoshui’s true nature, but in the end, he definitely touched Li Ruoshui’s soft spot, making her blush and her heart beat fast, as if she had met love.
So much so that as they were walking on the way out of the palace, he thought, “Wasn’t the behavior of the Prince of Pingyang a bit too much? After all, they are guests who came from afar. It is unworthy of our Qi Dynasty to humiliate them like this.” Thinking that Prince Xiao had been in a bad mood for a long time, he felt distressed for some reason and wanted to comfort him at that time.
Pingjin Hou walked in front with big strides, while Li Ruoshui and Hua Bochen walked behind. Hearing what she said, both father and son stopped. Hua Bochen looked at her in disbelief, while Pingjin Hou turned around with eyes as sharp as knives, and he really wanted to torture Li Ruoshui to death.
Under his gaze, Li Ruoshui couldn't help but tremble. Was she wrong
Pingjin Hou didn't say anything and just walked away.
"You are so fickle and mean. You can be so confused and talk nonsense just because a man praises you. Your father-in-law is now the commander of the Dingbei Army. Before he came back, he was fighting with Liu Ge. There were countless casualties in every battle. Liu Ge is the enemy of Qi Dynasty and they are irreconcilable. Not only are you shameless enough to flatter their prince, but now you are even saying that you will deliberately give in to them. Facing such unmannerly words, I must ask your Li family how they taught you to be such a person."
Hua Bochen might be easily confused by love affairs, but when it comes to major issues and family interests, he is clear-headed and has a clear stance. At least at this moment, he has no feelings for Li Ruoshui. I had to clench my fists to suppress the urge to strangle her to death.
When we hear those poems with noble sentiments again, it is no longer a matter of appreciation, but of doing all kinds of evil!
Although Hua Bochen's attitude towards her had changed a long time ago, it had never made her as frightened as it was now, causing her to subconsciously step back.
But perhaps because someone was coming later, Hua Bochen did not attack immediately like Pingjin Hou did and just left.
Li Ruoshui's heart was pounding wildly and couldn't calm down for a long time. He still didn't think he had done anything wrong. What could the enemy do? They were envoys and guests now. Qi Dynasty was a country of etiquette and should have been more polite.
Over there, Wei Tingyu was in front of Emperor Xuanren. Of course, there was not only him, but also several military generals. To put it bluntly, they wanted to ask for people for him.
"Among the four people I brought with me, five are my men, and five are Princess Anguo's Black Armor Guards. Their martial arts skills are also due to Princess Anguo's credit."
Probably no one expected that there was something about Xiaocao involved here.
Everyone became interested at once.
