The next day, at Sifang Pavilion in the capital.
The morning sun shone into the Sifang Pavilion, where the aroma of tea wafted through the air. Foreign envoys, merchants, and wanderers from various countries gathered in groups of two or three, some whispering quietly, others discussing grand matters. The small pavilion was already packed.
In the corner, several scholars from the Great Chu were sitting around a table, looking quite proud.
"Have you heard? Her Highness the Princess followed the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor to the Pei Mansion, which is the home of Her Highness Qin's adoptive parents in Great Chu. Isn't this obviously a visit to acknowledge kinship?"
Another scholar in blue robes also nodded in agreement, "So this marriage is a done deal? I've always said it, Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Royal Highness Qin are a match made in heaven, with their talent and beauty."
"Isn't it?" The third person also said, with a smug look in his eyes.
"It's an open secret that His Majesty intends the princess to inherit the throne. When the princess ascends the throne, Qin Yuan will be the consort of our Great Chu. By then, the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor will become a member of our Great Chu. Then, the Great Qin... hehe, maybe sooner or later it will become a vassal state of our Great Chu!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of laughter at the table.
"Hahaha!"
"Who knows, in a few years, even the Qin Dynasty will have to rely on the Chu State..."
They were talking excitedly, but they didn't notice that at the next table, several men in black tights had increasingly gloomy expressions.
Especially the bearded man in the lead, with an ancient long sword on his waist and a stern murderous look between his brows.
This person was none other than the subordinate Li Linyuan brought from Daqin. His name was Meng Lie, and he was a very straightforward and hot-tempered person who hated evil.
"Bullshit!"
Meng Lie slammed the table so hard that the teacup made a ping-pong sound and the scalding tea splashed all over the floor.
He stood up suddenly, and his iron tower-like figure blocked the way of the scholars.
"My prince is the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor, what a noble status! How could he marry into your Great Chu? If we are to get married, your princess should bring her dowry and marry him to be my prince's principal wife!"
The scholar who spoke earlier was frightened, but thinking that this was the territory of the Great Chu and that everyone around him was his own people, he tried to save face and spoke.
"You...how can you talk like that? Our Princess of Great Chu is of such noble status. Marrying your Highness is already a great blessing. What do you even need to talk about dowry?"
"A gift?"
Meng Lie laughed in anger, his eyes were like torches, and his voice was as powerful as a mountain.
"My Great Qin has a vast territory and a strong army. Why would we need your kindness? Besides, yesterday, Your Highness took the princess to meet her adoptive parents. That's the custom of my Great Qin. It has nothing to do with marrying into the princess' family!"
"Once you are in the territory of Great Chu, you must abide by the rules of Great Chu! When the princess goes to the man's house, she has acknowledged the marriage, and naturally she must put Great Chu first in the future!" The other two scholars mustered up the courage to retort.
"fart!"
The guards behind Meng Lie also stood up, their eyes wide open with anger.
"My prince is the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty and will inherit the throne in the future. How could he possibly put your Chu State first?"
"So what if he's the crown prince?"
"Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. When you come to our Great Chu, you must listen to our princess!"
"How dare you call my prince a dog?" Meng Lie's eyes were red and he threw a punch.
The Han scholar was caught off guard and was hit so hard that his nose started bleeding. He covered his nose and screamed.
This punch was like igniting a powder keg.
Although the surrounding scholars and merchants were powerless, they relied on their own territory and picked up benches and teapots to smash over.
“Boom…”
“Crash…”
“Sizzle…”
In the blink of an eye, a melee broke out in the Sifang Pavilion.
The Qin Dynasty brought with it elite soldiers. After all, they were all skilled fighters who had been trained on the battlefield. They were very agile and could easily beat those scholars and merchants to the ground. However, they did not kill them. They just wanted to teach these arrogant guys a lesson.
There was chaos in the lobby.
"Stop! Stop it right there!" The owner of the museum was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He wanted to stop them but didn't dare to. He could only stamp his feet in anxiety.
"Dear guests, please calm down. If you have something to say, please talk it over nicely. Don't damage the harmony!"
But his words had no effect.
There was no other choice, so the owner had to hurriedly order the waiter: "Quick! Report to the police!"
"etc!"
The waiter was about to turn around and run when the owner suddenly thought of something and called him back.
"Let's go to the princess's mansion first and find the princess! Quick!"
The current situation involves a major issue concerning the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the ordinary Jingzhao Yi Yamen is unable to stop it.
The palace is too far away, and the servants here can't even get through the palace gate.
The only option now is to go find the princess.
Anyway, the princess is now involved in politics, which is equivalent to the crown prince.
At this moment, a patrol of the imperial guards rushed over, and the leading captain shouted sternly:
"How dare you fight in broad daylight? Capture them all!"
Seeing this, Meng Lie and others also stopped.
Although they were not afraid of these imperial guards, they also knew that they could not act too recklessly in the capital of Great Chu, so as not to cause trouble for Qin Yuan.
The people from Da Chu were emboldened when they saw the reinforcements coming. The scholar who had been beaten earlier covered his nose and cried:
"Sir, it's them. Not only did they beat people, they also insulted us, Da Chu!"
When the leading captain saw that Meng Lie and others were dressed as Qin people, he was suddenly shocked.
Oh no!
The current situation is like a red-hot iron, which cannot be touched, nor can it be avoided.
If this matter is not handled properly, not only will I lose my life, but it may also cause disputes between the two countries. That is no joke.
