Emperor Jingxuan had also been on a diplomatic mission to the Western Jin Dynasty. He had seen the Longquan Sword. Even if he had not seen it, there were many picture albums about the Longquan Sword. Except for some female relatives, almost everyone present recognized it.
The moment before he was still saying that no one supported him, but at this moment he pulled out the Longquan Sword of the Western Jin Emperor. This was no longer a slap in the face, it was rubbing his face on the ground!
Xiao Duye was completely dumbfounded.
What's wrong with this guy? Why does he have the Longquan Sword of the Western Jin Emperor?
Within one day, no, to be exact, within one hour, Xiao Duye's face was slapped twice in a row by Zhuge Qing, and it became swollen like a pig's head.
While Zhuge Qing's sword seemed to be a slap in the face to Xiao Duye, wasn't it also a warning to the Zhou royal family?
The cold and sharp Longquan sword pierced into the shiny purple stone floor. How could a useless person use such a move?
Even though he no longer has internal strength, he was definitely once a top-notch warrior.
In the hall, those who recognized the Longquan Sword and those who did not were all silent.
The musicians paused.
The scene was completely silent.
"The dates are a little too sweet. Eat this."
Jing Yi, who was caught off guard, suddenly said this, and the entire side hall was filled with his serious and innocent voice.
Marquis Weiwu also came today and sat next to the seat at the Duke of Lu's mansion.
He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Jing Yi was concentrating on selecting snacks for Su Xiaoxiao and didn't pay attention to what happened. He looked back at the sword on the ground, then at the trembling musicians in the center of the hall, and said, "Why don't you play music?"
The musicians hurriedly continued playing.
As the music started, people started drinking or tea. The dancers also crowded into the center and began to dance vigorously with smiles on their faces.
An embarrassment was awkwardly covered up.
Emperor Jingxuan was drinking tea and his face looked unhappy.
Wei Qing rejected his kindness in public, which made the emperor feel a little embarrassed, but compared with Wei Qing's attitude towards King Liang, people felt that his "I don't want to" was not an offense.
Of course, it is still a bit embarrassing after all.
He originally thought that Zhuge Qing was just an adviser to the eldest prince of the Western Jin Dynasty, and that he was favored by the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty by chance only because of Yuwen Huai. Of course, he admitted that Zhuge Qing had some talents, but no emperor would bestow a treasure second only to the imperial seal on a adviser, right?
Did the Western Jin emperor go too far?
The queen said to the eunuch in charge beside her, "Pour the wine."
The eunuch in charge looked at his master in horror and said, "His Majesty has just suffered a setback and you are drinking to celebrate. You are just enjoying the fun!"
After Wei Qing stuck the sword into the ground, he did not pull it out immediately. He just left it there, facing Xiao Duye. Xiao Duye got angry every time he saw it, and his teeth were almost broken.
The way the others looked at Mr. Zhuge also changed. If they had been polite to him just for the sake of Emperor Jingxuan's face before, now they truly felt his strength.
He is not a powerful official, but he is better than a powerful official. He is second only to one person and above ten thousand people!
The daughter of the Duke of Lu is really not worthy of him.
Concubine Yu was blushing, not to mention the wife of Duke Lu. She was rejected in public, and her daughter's reputation would be badly affected if the news got out.
She said that she should have said that she was the one who kissed Su Mo, why did she look for someone from the Western Jin Dynasty? Not reliable at all!
Oh, Su Mo! Su Mo is from the Great Zhou, so His Majesty can always decide for him! As long as His Majesty grants Su Mo a marriage, the reputation of the Duke of Lu's Mansion will be restored! She opened her mouth and was about to ask for an imperial decree in public, but unexpectedly Su Xiaoxiao spoke first: "Uncle, has my eldest cousin proposed a marriage?"
The old marquis asked, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Oh, nothing. Mr. Zhuge has a sister who admires your eldest cousin's talent very much. If your eldest cousin doesn't propose marriage, maybe they can help to get married. Mr. Zhuge, what do you think?"
Wei Qing smiled slightly: "I couldn't ask for more."
He is unwilling to do so towards Emperor Jingxuan, but is eager to have Su Xiaoxiao and the Su family. This is complete double standard.
The old marquis pretended to be serious and said, "Oh, no problem!"
The wife of the Duke of Lu felt a breath of foul air stuck in her chest.
How could she ask His Majesty to arrange a marriage when they had already announced their engagement in public? His Majesty couldn't just force a couple to break up. It was possible in the past, but... Wei Qing even pulled out the Longquan Sword from the Western Jin Emperor today, and he hasn't put it back yet.
As expected of her grandson, he should be so tough.
The Wei family was loyal to the emperor and served the country, and they were worthy of the heavens and the earth, and the common people. However, in the end, they ended up dying on the battlefield and their military power was divided.
When the men of the Wei family died in the war and only Wei Ting was left, how did those snobs in the capital look down on the Wei family? It was time for them to be humiliated.
Wei Ting picked up the wine glass and was about to stand up.
Old Lady Wei: "Sit down!"
It’s fine for the second brother to show off, but at least he has an identity from the Western Jin Dynasty. Why are you jumping out here to cause trouble?
Wei Ting opened his mouth.
"You are not allowed to speak either."
She loves her grandchildren, and just by looking at their butts she knows what they are going to fart.
If this kid starts to act up, there’s no way we’ll get through tonight.
Wei Ting sighed regretfully. He also wanted to show his talents and couldn't let his second brother always steal the limelight.
The three little ones couldn't sit still in their seats. Old Madam Wei was worried that Wei Ting might do something wrong, so she asked Wei Ting to take them out to play.
Emperor Jingxuan's thoughts were disturbed by Wei Qing today, so he didn't pay enough attention to the little guys.
A small incident occurred at the banquet. The dance that the dancers were rehearsing required the use of a tripod, but the prop tripod was broken, so they had to urgently bring in a real large tripod.
It was already a struggle to lift it, and when it came to crossing the high threshold, the guards simply couldn't lift it.
Chen walked over and lifted the tripod with one hand easily, shocking all the guests in the hall!
…
Western Jin Dynasty.
Inside the palace, the Emperor of Western Jin, wearing a thick fox fur coat, picked up a memorial and coughed heavily for a long time.
He and his father-in-law hurriedly brought in a bowl of medicine, placed the bowl on the table, raised their hands and gently patted the back of the Western Jin Emperor to help him calm down.
The Emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty coughed so hard that he was sweating all over.
He ascended the throne at the age of twenty-five, and it has been more than forty years since then. He, who once fought on the battlefield, has lost the vigor and vitality of his youth.
He is old, his hair is white, and his back is a little hunched.
He Gonggong picked up the medicine bowl distressedly: "Your Majesty, drink the medicine first."
The Emperor of Western Jin coughed for a long time. After he calmed down a little, he frowned and drank the bowl of bitter medicine.
"Your Majesty didn't like taking medicine in the past." He took the empty bowl from the eunuch.
The Western Jin Emperor said, "I am old now, not like when I was young."
He Gonggong said: "The imperial physician said that you are worrying too much, which has caused evil spirits to enter your body. Are you worried about Mr. Zhuge?"
The Western Jin Emperor looked out the window and said, "It's been two months. He should be in the Great Zhou by now."
He smiled at his father-in-law and said, "Mr. Zhuge is blessed to have such great love from you."
The Western Jin Emperor paused and said, "No, it is my good fortune to meet him. In this vast world, he is the only one who understands me."
A gust of night wind blew, and the Emperor of Western Jin started coughing again.
The eunuch patted him on the back and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"
The Western Jin Emperor sighed softly: "I will take care of myself. If I die, who will support me?"
I would like to recommend a good infrastructure article to you, "Doomsday Game: I Become a Landlady by Building Territory" by Xile Yixia. It is now on the shelves. Those who are interested can go and take a look.
