Chapter 403: Only one thing, I'm afraid it won't work
Arslan clapped his hands twice and said, "Okay."
“…”
"I never thought that there were so many hidden talents around His Majesty the Emperor. Even a small court lady like him possessed such talent and such a broad mind."
“…”
“It really opened my eyes.”
Zhu Feng glanced at Nan Yan, and a faint smile appeared on his usually stern face: "Of course——"
Before he could finish his words, the queen beside him glanced at him.
He immediately frowned, coughed lightly, and said, "Well, the special envoy is too kind."
However, Princess Baoyin was a little unhappy.
After all, the sword dance she just performed was the product of her practice for a long time and was the result of years of accumulation. She felt a little unfair that the limelight was stolen by a servant with just a few words.
She said coldly, "We offered three gifts, but it seems you only gave me two in return, lady-in-waiting."
“…”
"Is this also possible?"
Nan Yan raised her head and looked at the radiant princess in front of her. In a rush of emotion, she said, "Only those who accept gifts should return them. Those who don't return gifts naturally don't—"
"Sinanyan!"
Before she could finish her words, Xu Miaoyin beside her said, "How bold!"
When Nan Yan heard this, she quickly took a step back and said, "I acknowledge my guilt."
Xu Miaoyin frowned and looked at her. She had originally thought that this girl was well-educated and well-mannered, but she didn't expect that she would dare to say such bold words in front of the special envoy.
Who gave her such courage?
She frowned and said, "How can you interrupt the special envoy's gift to the emperor? Withdraw!"
Nan Yan lowered her head and retreated behind Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng had not originally expected that she would suddenly say such "rude" words, but looking at her slightly red ears, her lower lip that was bitten so tightly that it was about to break, and her stubborn look, he suddenly seemed to understand something.
I couldn't help but want to laugh.
But there was naturally no smile on his face, he just glared at her.
Arslan also pulled Princess Baoyin and said, "Baoyin, don't be so willful."
Princess Baoyin then reluctantly retreated.
Arslan then raised his head and smiled at Zhu Feng, saying, "Your Majesty, the return gift from this lady-in-waiting is exactly what our country wants. This time, I have come here precisely to convey my wish for peace."
"oh?"
Zhu Feng raised his head and looked at him.
Peace?
You know, the war on the border a few days ago was instigated by their country of Dian.
Now, they want to express their willingness for peace?
Arslan said: "My lord wishes to marry your majesty, so that our two countries will no longer fight and the people can rest and recuperate."
…
Hearing his words, everyone around was stunned.
Peace is of course what everyone dreams of. However, no one could have imagined that this request was first put forward by the envoy of the Kingdom of Dian.
How could they want peace and friendship?
Nan Yan also looked at Arslan with some surprise - the poem she had just written did have the intention of persuading reconciliation, but she did not expect that they would bring it up first.
Moreover, when he saw Princess Baoyin, who was full of wild beauty, standing in the center of the warm room, he felt a little uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but look at Zhu Feng.
At this moment, Zhu Feng frowned slightly, and a barely perceptible gleam of light flashed in his deep eyes.
He looked at Arslan for a long time, then a smile appeared on his face: "The envoy's words are exactly what I want."
Arslan was about to say something when Zhu Feng said, "There's only one thing, I'm afraid it won't work."
Arslan asked, "What's wrong?"
