Now everyone was looking at her, and Xie Hailan felt like a joke.
She gritted her teeth and agreed: "Yes, then the servant will step back."
When she was about to avoid embarrassment, Xie Shizhu interrupted her with his eyelids slightly closed.
"The seventh day after King Zhou's death hasn't even passed yet. As his daughter, it's really hard for you to play such a cheerful pipa piece."
The woman's voice was lazy, as if she was speaking casually.
But many ministers couldn't help laughing.
The musicians kneeling on the ground were also a little happy.
After all, this pipa music is played only at happy occasions, which is the opposite of funerals.
If someone plays it before the seventh day after death of his family, it is likely that he has a deep hatred for the deceased.
Xie Hailan's back stiffened as he heard the mocking laughter of other ministers.
Her face looked extremely ugly.
Because she didn't know the deep meaning of the song, she only knew how to play it.
Xie Shizhu looked down upon Xie Hailan's distressed expression and smiled, "It seems that Sister isn't too sad about King Zhou being murdered."
Xie Hailan was trembling all over.
The woman's voice was like a slap in the face.
She condemned Xie Shizhu for not taking his father seriously, and then she played a ridiculous song.
Isn't this just shooting oneself in the foot?
Xie Hailan accepted the pointing and criticizing of his ministers and returned to his seat in frustration.
Xie Shizhu lazily said to the musician, "Continue."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The scene became lively again.
Xie Shizhu leaned back and looked up at Fan Miaozhou.
The other person's eyes were full of surprise, and after looking at Xie Shizhu, he looked away unnaturally.
When he lowered his head, his opinion of Xie Shizhu changed.
Because Xie Shizhu seems to be really powerful.
Such moments can also change other people's opinions in public.
Directly shift the target of public criticism to others.
I can still get away.
He thought Xie Shizhu was the kind of person who was willful, capricious, and unreasonable, and had no ability at all.
But, he seemed to be wrong.
Xie Shizhu is really suitable for the throne.
Two hours later, the reception ceremony for Fan Miaozhou ended.
After the ministers left, Xie Shizhu returned to his palace.
She had just taken off her coat when the eunuch outside the hall said that Prince Zhou wanted to see her.
Xie Shizhu was getting ready to go to bed. She was too lazy to put on her coat, so she let Zhou Wang in.
Fan Miaozhou came to Xie Shizhu Palace alone.
Xie Shizhu asked Ming Ruzhen to come in again and bring in the jewelry and silk.
After Fan Miaozhou entered the palace, Xie Shizhu turned around, looked at him calmly, and asked, "Why did Prince Zhou come to the palace to see me?"
He was about to mention the cancellation of the engagement, but before he could utter a word, Xie Shizhu's personal guard rushed into the hall.
He also brought a few guards, each carrying a box.
Afterwards, Ming Ruzhen let the box down gently, bowed to the King of Zhou, and then said, "Your Majesty, the things have been brought."
Xie Shizhu nodded slightly.
Fan Miaozhou's attention was attracted by these boxes. He took a closer look and found that the words on the boxes were the language of the Fan State, and the jewels and silks placed on the boxes were gifts sent by his father when proposing marriage.
Xie Shizhu said slowly, "I also have something to say to you. Take these things back with you, and by the way, tell Emperor Fan that I don't need a marriage alliance..."
When Fan Miaozhou heard this, his mind went blank.
From the very beginning, Xie Shizhu showed an expression of disgust when he learned that he was the King of Boats.
Now that he came to the palace in person, Xie Shizhu rejected his marriage proposal in person.
Fan Miaozhou suddenly forgot the purpose of his visit and stared at Xie Shizhu.
The man's voice was hoarse, with a hint of strangeness and even a hint of anger: "Is this too little?"
