Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Even the people of Xiufeng have never seen such a pleasing totem in their own country.

It seems that these totems have a fatal magic that makes people's souls fall for them. The beauty of this radiant beauty under the sunlight cannot be described in words.

They looked satisfied, even grateful, and moved in their hearts.

It must also be a great country with etiquette, making sure the details are impeccable and providing sufficient emotional value and respect.

Alas, in this case, they all felt that the gifts they brought were a little too few.

The foreign guests' team walked across the flower carpet and entered the reception hall. Except for the princes, nobles and first-rank officials who were qualified to enter the hall, all other officials withdrew.

Officials from the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, who were in charge of etiquette, went to a side hall to await orders.

Li Zanran's face was full of disbelief.

The welcoming process has been completed, why is there no reaction from Xiufeng Kingdom?

Given the temperament of the Xiufeng Kingdom, this is absolutely impossible.

This is like slapping them in the face. How can they tolerate it?

He wanted to confirm the totems on the flags and floral carpets again. When the officials left, he pretended to accidentally sprain his ankle and rubbed it for a while.

When a seat became available, he stood up and looked towards the floral carpet.

His eyes widened as he looked at the flag and he took a few quick steps forward.

Even though he was far away, he could still see that the light on the flag was changing, which was clearly the black fire.

What's going on? He had clearly checked it yesterday, and it was black fire, clearly black fire.

He looked down at the flower carpet below, and the brilliant light amidst the darkness caught his eye.

Such a black fire pattern looks low-key and high-end. Regardless of whether Xiufeng Kingdom will get angry, they will definitely be very grateful to Daze Kingdom.

The plan was in vain. Li Zanran was furious. He felt a sweet and fishy taste in his throat, his body shook, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

If he hadn't tried so hard to keep steady, he would have fallen down.

Why, why did it turn out like this? Who could have predicted that he had such a meticulous plan, and was outmaneuvered by the other party, who won without a sound.

"Sir Li, you have lost your composure." A senior eunuch stood before him with an unhappy look on his face.

"The adults have retreated, and those who await orders are waiting. Lord Li is still here. If foreign guests see this, I don't know what they will think."

Li Zanran looked around. He was the only one in the empty square. Apart from him, there were eunuchs and maids walking hurriedly.

He looked at the flag again. Although it appeared black at first glance, he still found it so dazzling.

"Sorry, I'll be on my way."

Li Zanran stepped onto the stairs one by one, feeling as if he was dragging a heavy weight. He was in a trance and out of his mind. He entered the side hall, but without seeing the threshold clearly, he tripped and fell in.

The officials inside all frowned and showed disgust. It was okay that Li Zanran usually ate a lot and had a rosy face, but on such a grand occasion, he was so unpretentious.

Fortunately, no one in the main hall saw it, otherwise, I don’t know what the emperor’s expression would be.

Mu Xinghe looked over with a leisurely look on his face.

"Master Li, please be careful. The Emperor might summon us at any time. If you make any mistakes, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain yourself to the Emperor."

Mu Xinghe seemed to be speaking with concern, but Li Zanran felt uncomfortable.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he vaguely felt that there was something else behind Mu Xinghe's words.

When Mu Xinghe first came to the Honglu Temple to take up his post, he had clear eyes and was sincere to others. He looked easy to control. I don’t know if it was because he almost lost his life on the street last time that changed his character.

Moreover, Mu Xinghe was in charge of supervising the ceremony.

Realizing this, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck him on the forehead. Li Zanran suddenly stared at Mu Xinghe, his eyes emitting a terrifying light, and his breathing became rapid.

Mu Xinghe didn't look at him again, but just gathered his sleeves, looking a bit leisurely, as if waiting for something interesting to happen.

Li Zanran's heart was in suspense, he suspected that Mu Xinghe had some tricks up his sleeve.

If so, his fate today is hard to say——

An official saw that something was wrong with Li Zanran and couldn't help but speak.

"Alas, Lord Li, you look like you're completely unhappy. But the mission has been completed, and the foreign guests are very satisfied. What else is there to worry about?"

Li Zanran forced a smile, but it looked uglier than crying, and his hands were shaking under his sleeves.

On both sides of the hall, there are reception seats. The carvings on the tables and the arrangement of cups are different for more than 20 countries. The food is also adjusted accordingly according to the different tastes of each country.

After a series of tedious offerings, greetings, singing and dancing performances, and meals, it was already dusk and the guests were tired, so they were taken to their arranged accommodations by palace servants.

The sleeping palace was also decorated in accordance with the cultures of various countries, and the foreign guests were very satisfied.

The palace servants did not leave in a hurry, but waited for the foreign guests' opinions. Only after they received satisfactory answers did they return to report.

"Good, very good, the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites have done a good job." The emperor was very happy.

All of a sudden, the relationship with more than 20 countries has been further improved. These countries are located in the four directions of east, west, south and north. The strengthening of Daze State's diplomatic relations will also bring pressure to the Qinu State.

This is why the emperor attached so much importance to foreign guests.

Moreover, the Xiufeng Kingdom had previously been lukewarm in its attitude, but this year it seemed to be much more enthusiastic, with many friendly speeches made in the hall, which made the emperor very relieved.

"They have been waiting for a long time, let's call them in." The emperor said, and gave Eunuch Qi a wink, asking him to prepare the reward.

This year is the year that the emperor is most satisfied with, and the rewards will be even more generous.

Officials from the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites who were in charge of all etiquette entered the main hall. Generally speaking, officials below the fourth rank had to answer outside the hall, but today the emperor showed special grace and allowed all officials to enter the hall.

Lord Gu took the initiative to praise Mu Xinghe for having the heaviest task, doing the best job, and almost ruining his health.

The emperor looked at Mu Xinghe, and he remembered that Mu Xinghe was not only the son-in-law of the Qiao family, but also the top scorer in the palace examination selected by him a few years ago.

She is only twenty years old, but she has a steady temperament and looks careful and thoughtful.

I also heard that he was temporarily transferred to the Honglu Temple to replace two sick officials. Although he lacked business experience, he made up for it in such a short time and did the job so perfectly.

The emperor nodded and said, "As expected, outstanding talents emerge from youth. I will make an exception for the reward given to the shepherd official, just like I did for Lord Gu."

Other officials also received rewards of different levels.

I have been working day and night and worrying so much all these days just for this moment.

In fact, the reward is secondary. The main thing is that the mission is successful, and everyone feels relieved.

"Everyone has worked hard to receive foreign guests. I am also tired. Please leave." The emperor waved his hand.

Mu Xinghe knew that as a fifth-rank official, he was not qualified to speak at this moment.

But how could he let go of the opportunity to deal with Li Zanran?
