The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her
Chapter 286: Audience with the Envoy of Nanyue Kingdom
Everyone was talking at once, and the level of discussion about the return of Prince Ji Wuwang of Zhenbei to the capital far exceeded that of the Nanyue Kingdom, as if the person being welcomed at the palace banquet was not the envoy from the Nanyue Kingdom, but Prince Ji Wuwang of Zhenbei.
"Your Majesty has arrived! Your Majesty has arrived!"
As the eunuch chief Wang Fuhai's shrill and loud voice rang out, the noisy imperial garden suddenly became silent.
Everyone present knelt and saluted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Amid the sound of people kneeling, Ji Wuyuan, dressed in a black dragon robe with gold weaving, and Jiang Wantang, dressed in a gorgeous red dress, walked side by side, passed in front of the crowd, and walked towards the platform step by step.
Ji Wuyuan sat on the dragon throne, looked down at everyone, and said, "Stand up!"
After everyone stood up, when they saw Jiang Wantang in her gorgeous red dress and makeup, they all showed shock in their eyes. Even her brother Jiang Huaizhou had a look of surprise in his eyes.
At this time, Wang Fuhai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the envoys from the Nanyue Kingdom have been waiting outside for a long time..."
Ji Wuyuan nodded slightly and said calmly, "Xuan."
Wang Fuhai's shrill voice rang out again: "The envoy from Xuannanyue Kingdom is here to see you!"
Jiang Wantang narrowed her eyes slightly and looked into the distance. The envoys from the Nanyue Kingdom, so she should be among them, right?
At the entrance of the Imperial Garden, several figures slowly appeared, but they were all men. The two in the lead were dressed in luxurious clothes. One had a stern face and a bit of rebelliousness. His eyes were sinister and revealed a bit of viciousness.
The other one looked gentle as jade, modest and polite, with a faint smile always on his face, an upright and elegant posture, and calmness and composure in his every move.
When Jiang Wantang was in Jiangnan, she heard Xie Zhiyan talk about the most powerful princes of Nanyue Kingdom. The two she recognized at a glance were the eldest prince Baili Yufeng and the second prince Baili Yuyan.
Several people stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Imperial Concubine!"
Ji Wuyuan sat upright on the high platform, his face indifferent, his expression imposing without anger: "No need to be polite!"
"The two princes have come from afar. You might as well stay in Dasheng for a while, so that I can show my hospitality."
Ji Wuyuan's eyes swept lightly over the two princes, and his voice was as concise and cold as ever.
The eldest prince, Baili Yufeng, was the first to speak. Although his voice was respectful, it still couldn't hide his inherent arrogance: "Your Majesty is so kind, so we will respectfully obey your command."
"I've heard about the prosperity of Dasheng for a long time, and this time I'm here, I can really experience it."
After saying this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. However, when he saw Jiang Wantang sitting next to Ji Wuyuan, he suddenly froze, and there was a bit of surprise and greed in his sinister eyes.
He didn't expect that there was a woman in the Great Sheng Dynasty who was more beautiful than his little Liuli.
Baili Yuyan, who was standing by, noticed something was wrong with him and was also shocked when he looked in the direction he was looking.
At this time, Ji Wuyuan's cold eyes were already looking over. Baili Yuyan reacted quickly and pulled Baili Yufeng beside him.
Then, he met Ji Wuyuan's gaze with a smile and said humbly and politely, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality. I hope our visit this time will enhance the friendship between our two countries and promote peace."
Every word he said was like a trickle of water, soothing and natural, making people feel good about him.
Jiang Wantang's lips curled up into an almost imperceptible sneer. If she hadn't heard about what kind of person Baili Yuyan was, she would have been deceived by his hypocritical appearance.
Then Baili Yuyan waved his hand, and several envoys from the Nanyue Kingdom came in with a group of palace servants. Each of them was holding or carrying the tribute from the Nanyue Kingdom.
The first thing that catches your eye is a jade mountain carved from a whole piece of mutton-fat white jade. The jade is warm, delicate, pure white, as if condensed mutton fat, emitting a soft luster under the sunlight.
There is an exquisite landscape painting carved on Yushan Mountain, with undulating mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, waterfalls and springs, pavilions and towers scattered around. Every detail is lifelike, as if presenting a miniature fairyland before everyone's eyes. The exquisite craftsmanship is breathtaking.
Then there were some silks and brocades unique to the Nanyue Kingdom, South China Sea dragon pearls, rare spices, rare gemstones of various colors... and other rare treasures.
In addition, the BMW horse was not brought up.
I don’t know whether it was out of guilt or for some other purpose, but the tribute items sent by the Nanyue Kingdom this time were very generous and full of sincerity.
There were faint whispers of conversation coming from the banquet, most of which were praises of the tributes.
Ji Wuyuan didn't even raise his eyelids, his expression unmoved, his dignified and cold features remained unchanged. "Thank you for your kindness. Go back and give your father my regards."
After these words were spoken, the expressions of Baili Yufeng and Baili Yuyan froze for a moment, and then they said yes.
But Jiang Wantang almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
Everyone knows that the emperor of Nanyue Kingdom is only hanging on to his last breath, and it is not certain whether this person is still alive.
Ji Wuyuan is more cruel, not giving any face at all.
Obviously, he still remembered the collusion between the Qi family and the Nanyue Kingdom.
Ji Wuyuan's words, coupled with the white chrysanthemums that filled the imperial garden, instantly made the atmosphere awkward.
Baili Yufeng dared not to show his anger, and Baili Yuyan almost couldn't maintain the smile on his face.
Seeing this, Wang Fuhai, who was standing by, hurried forward and invited everyone to take a seat.
As the music started, dancers filed in, dressed in gauze-like, colorful dance costumes. They flexed their soft waists and danced gracefully...
In the past, when there were such performances, the always romantic and lustful Baili Yufeng would have watched them intently, but today he didn't even look at them. His cold eyes were secretly studying Jiang Wantang who was sitting in the main seat.
It's not just him, Baili Yuyan is the same, but he does it more covertly than him.
There were many such looks, but Jiang Wantang didn't care. The only question on her mind now was: Why didn't Nangong Liuli show up?
Suddenly, the music changed and the dancers on the stage retreated one after another.
A woman in a crimson dress and a golden veil appeared in the center of the stage. Only a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes were revealed on her face, but these charming eyes alone attracted the attention of all the men present.
Following the rhythm of the music, she took light lotus steps, her figure graceful, like a willow swaying in the wind. Her slender waist seemed so thin that it seemed impossible to hold it in one hand, but as she twisted her body gently, she showed her gentleness and charm.
Jiang Wantang raised the corners of her lips and smiled. It's finally here...
