Chapter 476: No Coveting
The Dai Viet delegation was located on the left side of the red carpet at the back center.
On both sides were envoys from other countries, each with a nose higher than their eyes. They looked at the Dai Viet people with squinted eyes, as if they were looking at dirty things.
The poisonous old man waved his hand and sent a handful of ants up the tree. It was a colorless and odorless poison powder. The poisoned people felt as if millions of ants were crawling on their bodies. It didn't hurt, but it itched, an itch that could make people incontinent.
In such a solemn and dignified occasion, in order to maintain the dignity of our country, we cannot reach out to scratch the itch and can only bear it.
So much so that Emperor Nansang, who had just returned from offering sacrifices to heaven, had not yet stepped onto the red carpet and walked along the Jinxiu Road when a strange sight appeared on the side of the red carpet.
For some reason, the many envoys who came to watch the ceremony clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, with ferocious expressions on their faces.
The palace music played, the sound was majestic and refreshing, drowning out the discordant laughter of the crowd watching the ceremony.
"Baby, look quickly, doesn't that person look like a cat whose tail has been stepped on? All the fur on his body is standing on end, hehehe!"
"Grandpa has traveled extensively for decades, and once saw a dog somewhere. Its face was extremely wrinkled and ugly, and it looked exactly like that man! I couldn't help laughing when I saw it! Ehehehe!"
"Hey bro, did you choke on your food? Why is your neck stretched so long? Ouch, your face is purple! Are you having trouble breathing? Go down and have a drink of water? Hahaha, stop stretching, I really can't help it!"
Bai Yutianbao looked straight ahead and never glanced to the side, lest he lose control.
The second princess was inexperienced. After taking one look, she couldn't help but look a second and third time. In the end, she could only hold up the tails of her eyes with her hands to avoid getting more laugh lines.
Mo Liren, a rough man, couldn't bear it any longer. He laughed loudly to accompany the palace music, and leaned to one side, "Hahaha! Hahaha! Lord Gan, I admire you! Hahaha, how did you hold it in!"
"No." Gan Zhenyu's fair face flushed red, his voice strained to the limit, and he spoke through gritted teeth, "Quick! Please, pinch me!"
"……Ha ha ha ha!"
There were too many people watching the ceremony and the line was very long. Except for those nearby who noticed something, no one else knew anything.
Following the eunuch's announcement, Emperor Nansang, wearing a golden crown and dragon robe, slowly walked over from the other end of the red carpet. As he walked, he exuded the aura of an emperor, majestic and noble.
Tianbao looked over indifferently and happened to meet the young man in dark red formal suit with four-clawed dragon pattern standing behind the emperor. She was about to look away, but then she turned her gaze back without dodging or avoiding.
That's Yan Changkong.
There were at least thousands of people standing on the platform. He looked at her blatantly, telling her that he knew her identity.
Will she be afraid?
Seeing her like this, the young man actually smiled at her in such a solemn occasion, with a smile even in his eyes.
"?" Tian Bao tilted her head slightly, her lips moving as she wanted to ask the person next to her. Before she could finish her words, a hand grabbed her waist, "???"
This embrace is strong and domineering.
She froze for a moment, then held back her hand that was about to throw him over her shoulder. "What?"
"He provoked me, Jiuer, give me some courage." The young man's slightly aggrieved voice came from above his head.
Tianbao was silent for a moment and relaxed.
She did not look up and did not see the young man who spoke softly. His handsome face was cold and hard, and his peach blossom eyes, which always smiled, were sharp and cold. When his eyes met with those of the people walking leisurely on the red carpet, the message he conveyed to them was a strong possession and the idea that she would not be coveted.
An undercurrent flashed across Yan Changkong's eyes, and he withdrew his gaze from the indulgent girl's face. He followed the footsteps in front of him and continued forward, passing the envoys' viewing seat.
Throughout the entire process, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he remained expressionless, but his hands, hanging from the wide sleeves of the prince's robe, were clenched into fists.
Bai! Yu!
"He recognized you." Tian Bao also withdrew his gaze from Yan Changkong's back and hid the murderous intent in his eyes.
She expected to be recognized and was never afraid.
But if Yan Changkong dared to hurt Bai Yu, she would take off his head first.
Bai Yu's voice was filled with laughter, and he was quite proud. "You and I are inseparable. Since he recognized you, it won't be difficult for him to guess my identity."
"Be careful, don't act alone before you leave Nansang. Follow me."
"Then you must protect me, Jiuer."
"Um."
The second princess heard the coquettish voice with her own ears, and goose bumps broke out on her arms. She turned her head to look at her nephew, and was met with the young man's worthless smile, and turned back silently.
Yu'er is good in everything except this one thing. At this rate, I don't know when he will be able to get a wife.
When will she, her elder sister and her third sister be able to hold the new kid from Xiling?
When she returns this time, she will have to discuss it with her third sister. She can't just let things take their own course.
Tianbao is too numb to feelings!
At the front of the red carpet, Emperor Nansang stood in front of the Golden Throne Hall and began the succession process. After a lengthy eulogy, he took the imperial seal from the retired emperor.
Later, he announced it to the world, enthroned the queen and appointed the crown prince.
The royal family of Nansang and all the civil and military officials expressed their joy, and the envoys were full of compliments and congratulations.
The succession ceremony ended at its most enthusiastic moment. All the officials and distinguished guests who had basked in the sun for a whole morning were invited to the imperial garden for a banquet.
Tianbao and Bai Yu entered the banquet venue together, but their vigilance did not relax, and they became even more cautious.
Even the eccentric old man, the poisonous one, finally calmed down. While pretending to adjust his official hat and clothes, he whispered to the two children, "Nan Sang is cunning. The further we go, the more careful we must be. They can't let us in for nothing and then watch us leave safely."
Tian Bao pursed her lips and said, "Grandpa Du, you have to be careful too. If someone dares to commit a crime, there is no need to hold back."
"Of course. Grandpa is not the type to swallow his anger. If this really leads to a national war, we will fight back!"
The old man stood with his hands behind his back and walked with a bowed step to meet Gan Zhenyu.
Nan Sang and his group tried their best to restrain themselves. The old man was familiar with the ins and outs of all the wealthy families in Danyang, but in the end he didn't steal from any of them. It was not because he was afraid of being caught, but because of Wei Li.
Especially after knowing that Nan Sang has a magic weapon.
Dai Viet is geographically close to Nam Sang, and the northern and southern borders of the two countries are adjacent. If a conflict really breaks out and a war breaks out, Nam Sang can send troops directly to the border of Dai Viet.
Before we get the chips to compete with Nan Sang, we have to be cautious.
The old man and Lord Gan entered the banquet. Although Tianbao and Bai Yu could accompany them, due to their roles, they could not drink with them and could only stand outside the banquet hall waiting.
During this time, Tianbao's eyes never left the old man.
"The location where the unusual movement was reported that night is at the north end of the Imperial Garden," Tian Bao lowered her voice and whispered to the person next to her, "I want to go check it out."
Bai Yu raised his lips and covered his lips with his sleeve to avoid being seen. "I'll cover for you. If you find out the location, you can take the treasures back just like you took Wang Bai back then."
