Chapter 397 Gift

Everyone hurried forward to greet them.

Nan Yan was also in the crowd and saw a bright red blanket spread on the ground, extending all the way to the door of the warm room. Zhu Feng's bright yellow dragon boots stepped on the soft blanket.

Walking alongside him was a pair of thick leather boots.

She raised her head cautiously.

Arslan!

It’s him!

He stood next to Zhu Feng. Two equally tall men walked over. As soon as they reached the door, they almost blocked out the light from outside.

Nan Yan hurriedly lowered her head.

Zhu Feng glanced at them and waved his hand calmly: "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone stood up and returned to their seats. Zhu Feng saw the petite figure in the crowd at a glance, with a serious expression on his face.

However, he did not linger too much, but turned to Arslan and raised his hand: "Special Envoy, please."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Like him, Arslan's hunting eyes quickly found his target in the crowd, but he stayed there longer. Then he followed the direction of Zhu Feng's finger and walked to his seat.

The guests of honor took their seats one after another.

Not only the concubines in the palace were accompanying the emperor in the warm room, but also officials of the third rank and above in the court were present.

On the surface, everyone was chatting and laughing, but in fact, everyone was in a bad mood.

Not to mention that the Neng Kingdom had been harassing the northern border of the Yan Kingdom some time ago, causing countless casualties; just today, New Year's Day, when everyone could finally stay at home and enjoy their peace and quiet, he suddenly went on a diplomatic mission, forcing everyone to go to the palace, which was enough to arouse hatred.

Even Zhu Feng's expression didn't look very good.

No matter who you are, it is not a happy thing to be woken up from a rare good sleep and sweet dreams on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

However, he still maintained the demeanor of a king.

In particular, after seeing Arslan sit down, a large group of people following him also stood on both sides, with a faint smile on their lips.

Although Nan Yan said that he only brought Su He to the Si family yesterday, he knew very well that as the King of Nanli of the Neng Kingdom, he would not take risks easily.

He did that just to hide his identity.

I just don't know what the purpose of his mission this time is. However, since he is already here, this question will be clarified sooner or later.

At this time, Eunuch Yu, who was standing aside, waved his hand gently, and suddenly, the sound of drums and music came from the side halls on both sides of the warm room. A group of dancers came forward and danced gracefully in the open space outside the warm room.

As the dance and music started, everyone began to toast.

The atmosphere became lively as people drank and chatted with each other.

Zhu Feng, holding a wine glass in his hand, looked at Arslan and said with a half-smile, "It has been a long time since I and the special envoy have met."

Arslan also smiled and said, "Yes. The last time I had a quick meeting with His Majesty was in the army."

“…”

"I haven't seen you for several years, Your Majesty is still as elegant as ever."

He said this quite politely.

The actual situation is that a few years ago, the two countries fought each other on the battlefield, but after that, both countries had changes of dynasties and problems with the succession to the throne, so they began to tighten their military; especially after Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he began to reduce the power of the princes, so there were few wars during that period.

Of course, there was no chance for the two of them to meet.

And now…

At this time, Arslan stood up with a wine glass in hand and said to Zhu Feng, "Your country's new emperor has ascended the throne. My king specially sent me here to congratulate you and present you with gifts."

"Oh? A gift?"
