Chapter 181 The Princess of Sangyou Country
In the palace
"Mother, the Queen of Lanxi Country is embarrassing Father like this. It's really too much!"
The Queen smiled contemptuously: "Who can blame them for having better weapons than us? Chen'er, one day when you sit in this position, you will also experience the feeling of being above everyone else. Only when you stand on the top of the mountain will others look up to you!"
"Mother, I understand!"
Suddenly, the Queen asked, "I heard that the envoys from Sangyou Kingdom will arrive tomorrow?"
Helian Chen nodded. "They say they'll arrive tomorrow at noon! They'll be led by Sangyou's eldest prince, Huerya, and with him is a princess who wants to marry into our Yueqi Kingdom! But I don't plan to go pick them up. Sangyou is a defeated nation, and it would be too much of an honor for them if I went!"
The Queen shook her head and said, "Chen'er, take someone to pick him up and give the eldest prince enough face!"
Helian Chen asked in surprise: "Why should I give him face?"
"Although Sangyou is a defeated nation, it has now ceded cities and land to become a vassal state of Yueqi.
The monarch of Sangyou will definitely not swallow this humiliation. His current concession is just a chance to recuperate! Unless all of Sangyou's territory is completely incorporated into Yueqi, there will be another war sooner or later!
So if you give them enough face during their difficult times now, they may become a sharp knife in your hand one day!
The game between the two countries has always been a back-and-forth. You are now the crown prince, so you should make friends widely in private instead of sowing hidden dangers!"
Helian Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly understood: "What the Queen Mother said is true. If Sangyou Country can help me, then it is a powerful helper at the moment!
However, there is one thing I don't understand. Why is your Majesty so certain that there will be another war between Sangyou and my Yueqi Kingdom? "
The queen's dignified face curled up her red lips as she sneered, "The people of Sangyou are tall, brave, and naturally warlike. Do you think they can remain obedient? And completely submit to the Yueqi Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty is right! Your Majesty's wisdom is truly admirable!"
"Chen'er, you've already grown up and established your own household. Your mother can't be there every day to urge you to improve. You should work harder in private, study more, practice martial arts more, read more, and especially master military books!"
"Yes! Your son will follow your mother's instructions!"
"Well, go back and make the arrangements!"
…
In the evening, in the backyard of the Royal Palace
Yun Li asked, "Mother, are you really not going to attend the palace banquet tonight? I heard that Sangyou Kingdom has brought a princess to marry, maybe there will be something exciting to watch!"
Murong Qingling was holding two babies in her arms and said without even raising her head:
"No, I'm tired of dealing with this kind of situation! I'd rather spend that time here with my two adorable grandchildren! You can represent Lan Xi Country!"
Yu Wenting on the side couldn't help laughing out loud. His mother almost said out loud the national quintessence. She was still the same as before, impetuous and impatient, without changing at all!
In the past, my mother also disliked attending various business banquets with my father. She found all social activities boring.
Yun Li said angrily: "Okay, then my brother and I will set off!"
"Well, go ahead, go early and come back early!"
Helian Chi, Yun Li and Yu Wen Ting took a carriage to the palace.
Arriving at the palace gate, the three of them entered the palace separately. Yunli was to go with the Lanxi Kingdom envoys, while Yuwen Ting was to go with the Yu Kingdom envoys.
The palace banquet began, and everyone entered the hall one after another under the eunuch's announcement.
Led by the palace maids, everyone sat down one by one. The last to arrive were the envoys from Sangyou Kingdom, headed by the eldest prince of Sangyou Kingdom. Next to him was a woman wearing a red gauze skirt and a red veil. This woman must be the princess who was to be married.
"The Crown Prince Huerya and the Fifth Princess Huliya of Sangyou Kingdom are here with their envoys!"
Following the eunuch's sharp announcement, everyone looked towards the door.
The envoys came forward and saluted Helian Tian, who was sitting at the head of the table. "The envoys of Sangyou Kingdom greet His Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"
Helian Tian was in a good mood and said loudly: "Good! The envoys from Sangyou Kingdom are invited to sit down!"
When all the people were present, Helian Tian picked up the wine glass and looked at everyone in the hall, saying:
"It is not easy to gather everyone together for the Crown Prince's wedding. Once again, I warmly welcome the envoys from Lanxi, Yu, and Sangyou!
Come! Let us drink this cup together and celebrate this joyous occasion! "
Everyone raised their glasses and stood up to drink the wine in the glasses. After they sat down, the singing and dancing performance began!
Everyone started toasting each other and chatting with each other.
At this time, among a group of dancers, a woman in red with a veil was dancing in the center of the hall. As the string instruments played, her movements rose and fell, and her dance moves changed from slow to fast. She was so beautiful that she attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
Although it was a thin veil, the delicate face beneath the veil was faintly visible, adding a touch of mystery to her. Her charming dance posture attracted everyone to find out what kind of beauty was underneath the veil.
At this time, Huerya was holding a golden wine pot in one hand and a golden wine cup in the other. Unlike the rough-looking people of Sangyou, he had a demon-like and feminine face. At this moment, he was looking at Helian Chi with a hint of evil smile and walked towards him.
"Your Highness, I hope you are well!"
Helian Chi's dark eyes sank slightly, and he maintained his original posture, supporting his head with one hand, without even looking at him.
Hu Erya was not angry. He poured himself a glass of wine and reached out to the glass on the table in front of Helian Chi, clinking his glasses.
Then he said, "Is this how the King treats guests who come from afar?"
Helian Chi glanced at him nonchalantly and said lightly: "This king does not drink!"
Hu Erya drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, looked at Helian Chi meaningfully, and then walked to his seat and sat down.
After the dance, the dancers retreated one after another. The woman in red slowly walked forward, bowed upwards and said:
"Hu Liya dedicates the Red Plum Dance to Emperor Yue Qi!"
Helian Tian clapped his hands and cheered: "The Fifth Princess's dance is so graceful that it really opens my eyes. It is so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful dance before."
Hu Liya said softly: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty! Liya still has room for improvement."
Helian Tian asked curiously, "Fifth Princess, you are too modest! I see you have finished your dance, why are you still wearing your veil?"
Hu Liya raised her head, and slowly took off her veil with her slender hands, revealing her exquisite and beautiful face to everyone.
Her appearance is the kind of unrestrained beauty, just like the people of Sangyou, unrestrained and passionate, especially her eyes that seem to be able to seduce people's souls.
At this time, Hu Erya stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I brought the fifth sister here to find a good husband for her. What do you think?"
