After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy
Chapter 223 Arrogant Attitude
And the envoy just said that this princess is the most beloved princess of the King of Nanyue. There is something wrong here!
Ye Qingyu looked at Shen Yanli opposite her.
Shen Yanli seemed to feel her gaze, looked up and saw her anxious eyes, and then saw her gaze fell on Princess Lanzhi, and a hint of coldness gathered in his eyes.
Princess Lanzhi raised her eyes to look at Emperor Jingyou, her slowly rising gaze sweeping across the Crown Prince. "Your Majesty, please forgive the loyalty of our subjects. Although our country was defeated this time, it is not out of courtesy to fight again. It is because our emperor does not want the people to be burdened by war again that he has sent Lanzhi to Daqing with such sincerity to negotiate peace. As an envoy from Nanyue, I meet you with our country's highest etiquette as a token of my utmost respect."
Her voice was soft and gentle, neither high nor low, but it had a bewitching power that made people feel that what she said was right and they had no desire to argue.
The eldest prince stood up and saluted, explaining, "Your Majesty, Princess Lanzhi is telling the truth. This is indeed the highest etiquette of their Nanyue Kingdom."
Emperor Jingyou glanced at the eldest prince in confusion before saying calmly, "I'm sorry to have frightened Princess Lanzhi. It's because our ministers have never seen your country's etiquette that we misunderstood your envoy. This is the first time I've seen such etiquette, and it really opened my eyes."
He smiled and said, "Princess Lanzhi, envoys, please take your seats."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Nanyue delegation then sat down at their seats.
Emperor Jingyou raised his glass with a smile and said, "The South Vietnamese delegation has arrived today. Welcome all the envoys from South Vietnam and Princess Lanzhi!"
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses. No matter what they were thinking, they all wore smiles on their faces. "Welcome to the envoys from South Vietnam!"
"Welcome Princess Lanzhi!"
Princess Lanzhi said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you all."
All the people who were supposed to come were present, and the banquet began. The palace maids came in one after another, carrying various dishes to each person's table.
After the dishes were served, dancers came into the hall and danced gracefully to the accompaniment of musical instruments. For a moment, the gloomy atmosphere dissipated and the hall became lively again.
People's eyes seemed to be fixed on Princess Lanzhi in front of them. This princess didn't even take off her veil when eating, which made people even more tempted. Everyone wanted to see what kind of face was under such charming eyes.
Some people who do good things have a perverse temperament, such as Princess Le'an. When she saw that everyone's eyes were on Princess Lanzhi, she felt upset and showed dissatisfaction on her face.
It's just a way to attract men's attention. This princess of Nanyue is really good at seducing men. No wonder she was sent to Daqing by the King of Nanyue to marry.
Princess Le'an looked unhappy and spoke with contempt, "Princess Lanzhi, since we are having dinner, why not take off your veil so that it will be more convenient for you to eat?"
Princess Lanzhi glanced at her lightly, her tone as gentle as ever. "This is the custom of our country. Before a woman gets married, she must wear a veil when she is outside. Lanzhi is already used to it. Thank you for your kindness, young lady."
Princess Le'an was annoyed when she saw that she didn't recognize her identity. "There are such customs? This is the first time I've heard of it. The people of Daqing are open-minded. Since you've come to Daqing, why not follow Daqing's customs? It will be much more convenient. After all, you're marrying into Daqing, so you should adapt to them in advance."
Princess Lanzhi's charming eyes cast a serious look at Le An this time, and her pleasant voice remained calm, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. However, as a princess of Nanyue, Lanzhi must naturally abide by the customs of Nanyue."
"Princess, what's the meaning of your refusal? Since you're going to marry into Daqing, it would be a good idea for you to follow Daqing's customs in advance."
Some curious people couldn't help but murmur, "Yeah, since they were all sent here to marry, why would they know so many South Vietnamese customs?"
"Hush, is it because she's not very pretty? If she were truly as beautiful as a fairy, she wouldn't have been sent here in marriage."
"Yes, if that's the case, then it's understandable that she's unwilling to take off her veil."
When Princess Lanzhi saw Princess Le'an's aggressive attitude, a rare look of annoyance flashed across her dark and charming eyes.
She glanced at the eldest prince's face vaguely. The eldest prince straightened up instantly and looked at Le An with anger in his eyes, "Le An, stop messing around!"
Princess Le'an was used to being arrogant, so how could she listen to the eldest prince? "Brother, I'm right. Since South Vietnam was defeated and she was sent here to marry us, she will live in Daqing from now on. Isn't it her duty to understand and adapt to Daqing's customs?"
She looked at Emperor Jingyou, pouted her lips and said coquettishly, "Father, isn't what I said right?"
Emperor Jingyou could naturally see that Le An was deliberately making things difficult for Princess Lanzhi. The reason he didn't stop her was that he felt that Princess Lanzhi's attitude was a little too arrogant. It was not the attitude of a princess from a defeated country. The envoys from Nanyue were the same. They all looked arrogant, as if the defeated country was Daqing.
Coming here for peace talks as a defeated country, they should have been more humble, but seeing that they were unwilling to even follow the Daqing etiquette just now, he was very skeptical about their sincerity in coming for the peace talks.
So, he watched Le An make things difficult for Princess Lanzhi just to see how they would react.
"A guest is a guest. Le'an, please observe your etiquette." Although Emperor Jingyou said this, there was no trace of blame in his expression or tone.
Princess Le'an glared at Princess Lanzhi unhappily, then bowed to Emperor Jingyou and said, "Father, I was being frivolous. I was simply curious about the appearance of the Nanyue princess. I suppose I'm not the only one who thinks so. After all, this is my first time meeting someone from the Nanyue royal family. I've heard that there are beauties in the Nanyue royal family, so I'm curious about how beautiful they are."
Lord Xiahou of Nanyue could no longer suppress his anger. He stood up suddenly and glared at Princess Le'an, saying, "Your Majesty Daqing, your princess is being quite disrespectful to our princess. Unmarried women in Nanyue must wear veils. This is a custom in our country. Since your princess doesn't know about this and our princess has already informed you, why are you still so insistent on asking our princess to disobey Nanyue's rules? What does this mean?"
The eldest prince saw that Lord Xiahou was really angry. Although he couldn't see Princess Lanzhi's expression, he could tell from her eyes that she was not in a good mood. He quickly stood up and said softly, "Lord Xiahou, it was Le An who was impolite."
