Chapter 128: Triumphal Banquet



"They are all useless!"

The palace maid was kicked hard by her and her face turned pale, covering her chest.

Shu Fei's face was extremely ugly, her expression changed again and again, and she became vicious and angry.

It must be that the people below are pretending to obey but actually disobeying!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Su Lijin to eat the meal and still be so energetic and lively while strolling around the Imperial Garden!

After thinking about it, this is the only possibility.

"Damn it! Su Lijin, you're really lucky!"

She gritted her teeth and flipped over the teacup.

"Good news! General Su has won a great victory!"

Xiao Shengxing suddenly stood up, his dark eyes filled with surprise: "Did Su Moyuan win a great victory?"

All the civil and military officials in the court were also shocked by the good news, and they all looked at the soldiers who came to report in surprise.

The soldier, with his weathered face, was filled with joy. "Your Majesty, General Su is invincible and valiant. The Mongols have been defeated. We have decided to send envoys to negotiate peace!"

"Ah, the Mongols have retreated, how wonderful!"

"Hahaha, Mongolia is smart and will send envoys to negotiate peace."

There was an immediate burst of applause in the court, and the ministers rushed to discuss it, all of them were extremely surprised.

Xiao Shengxing clapped his hands on the armrest of the dragon throne, his face full of confidence as he said loudly, "Okay, send a message to Su Moyuan, asking him to bring the Mongolian envoy back to see me."

The good news from the front line spread immediately to every corner of the palace, big and small, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

Su Lijin was even more delighted and ran to Xiao Shengxing without stopping.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to take charge of the reception of the Mongolian envoys."

"Oh? The Queen intends to arrange the reception this time?" Seeing her bright smile, Xiao Shengxing couldn't help but smile in his eyes.

Su Lijin nodded: "I will definitely do this perfectly."

"Well, let the Queen handle this matter. Just remember to observe Mongolian customs."

At the end of his words, Xiao Shengxing gave instructions.

Su Lijin naturally knew Mongolian customs.

She knew much more about Mongolia.

Thinking of the Mongolian conspiracy in her previous life, she retreated, quickly changed into Shiqi's clothes, and met Xiao Shengxing again.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Mongolian envoys are coming. I have something I want to remind you of."

Looking at Shiqi, Xiao Shengxing's expression remained the same as usual. After a moment of thought, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does Shiqi want to remind me of?"

He was slightly puzzled. Could it be that Su Lijin knew something about what was happening in Mongolia?

Su Lijin's eyes narrowed slightly. "The Mongolian envoys' arrival this time may not be so simple. We must be careful of them. After all, they are always cunning and scheming."

Xiao Shengxing nodded.

We really cannot take Mongolia lightly. Even if we send envoys to negotiate peace, it will not be so easy to deal with.

Seeing this, Su Lijin's heart was slightly relieved: "It's good that the emperor knows. After all, most of them don't have good intentions."

Hearing this, Xiao Shengxing suddenly raised his lips and said, "Don't worry, I can handle them myself."

"Who's worried about you?" Su Lijin glared at him fiercely, her face turning slightly red as she pouted, "I was just kindly reminding you. I'm not worried at all, okay?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm definitely not worried."

"Okay, okay, I'm not worried, I'm just overthinking it." Xiao Shengxing smiled secretly and coaxed her.

"Hmph, never mind you."

Her heart couldn't help but beat wildly. Su Lijin glared at him, turned around and left in anger.

Back in the bedroom, her face was still slightly hot, and she couldn't help but pound the table: "Damn it, he actually said I was worried about him, really, how is that possible!"

After saying that, he reached out to take a sip from the cup, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a letter.

"A letter from Mongolia?"

She quickly put down the cup and unfolded the letter with a serious expression.

"What will Mongolia arrange at this time?"

Now, the Mongolian envoys are about to arrive, and the letter from Mongolia at this time must be of great significance.

Her heart sank slightly as she quickly scanned the letter.

"Oh, nothing good indeed!"

Holding the letter in her hand, Su Lijin sneered.

In the letter, the Mongolian side asked Xiaotao to kill the Mongolian envoy!

Logically, Mongolia would not propose such a task.

Su Lijin calmed down and thought about it, and suddenly remembered that in her previous life, Mongolia was divided into two factions, one advocating war and the other advocating peace. The two factions fought each other extremely fiercely.

"Could it be that the Mongolian envoys who came this time are seeking peace?"

She frowned, her mind racing.

If the envoy is killed here, there will definitely be a disaster and dispute between the two countries. I think the ones who want to see this situation the most are the pro-war faction.

At this moment, she was not completely sure and could not easily draw a conclusion.

Soon, the army led by Su Moyuan returned to the capital.

He was accompanied by envoys from Mongolia.

Su Lijin was sitting at the banquet. She had already made arrangements for the reception. At this time, the banquet was already full of princes and ministers.

Her eyes couldn't help but look towards the entrance, and she sighed slightly in her heart.

"I really want to go to the city gate to greet my brother."

Su Lijin felt melancholy. She really wanted to rush to the city gate and greet Su Moyuan in person.

However, the phoenix crown on her head always reminded her that she was the mother of a country and the queen of the current dynasty, and her every word and action had to follow the rules.

She couldn't just go and greet her brother like a little girl would.

At this moment, she could only sit here and wait quietly for Su Moyuan to arrive.

Xiao Shengxing on the side glanced at her sideways, his dark eyes paused, but he said nothing in the end.

Su Moyuan's team quickly arrived at the imperial city, and after settling down, Su Moyuan, along with a few trusted generals, went straight to the triumphal banquet held in the palace!

Su Moyuan was dressed in silver armor, with a resolute expression on his face and the solemn aura of a general. As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Su Lijin's gaze had already followed him, and when her gaze fell on his armor, she was slightly shocked. Su Moyuan's aura became even stronger.

She looked up, and when she saw Su Moyuan's face, her eyes were suddenly startled!

There was a scar on Su Moyuan's handsome face!

The scar runs from the brow bone upwards and is very deep, which shows how fierce he was at that time!

She couldn't help but clench her fingers, feeling distressed: "Brother, how much suffering have you endured..."

Su Moyuan noticed her gaze, nodded at her, and a comforting smile appeared on his lips.

"I am honored to have fulfilled the mission and am here to pay my respects to the Emperor." Su Moyuan knelt down and saluted Xiao Shengxing.

At the same time, several people around him knelt down.

"The Mongolian envoy pays respect to Your Majesty."

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on them.

They looked at the people in Mongolian costumes with complicated expressions and all kinds of thoughts in their eyes.

"I wonder what the envoy's status is in Mongolia?"

"General Su has worked hard and enhanced the prestige of our army. I am deeply pleased."

Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes held a stern look as he raised his hand to ask them to stand up. "The envoys are tired, too. Get up."
