Chapter 889 Send the Beauty First
This location is exactly Shilipo Pavilion. When they arrived here, the envoys must have been tired from the journey, after all, there was no place to rest on the way here.
This section took at least a day's journey.
I'm going to the capital, so I have to dress up and put on makeup so that I can enter the city with high spirits. After all, I will attract the attention of the people of the capital, and who doesn't want to look good?
So this is the use of Shilipo Pavilion.
Le Jiagui was a minor official in the Ministry of Rites. He was a little annoyed that he couldn't get the job of welcoming the guests.
So he went to the palace to ask for help from Concubine Le, who gave him an idea, which was to send tea, snacks and other things to Shilipo Pavilion first.
This is equivalent to preemptive reception.
Anyway, if the envoys from the State of Min can remember him and let him be more responsible for receptions in the following days, he may be able to make a name for himself in the Ministry of Rites.
Le Jiagui put a lot of thought into this. The tea he brought was of imperial quality, the snacks were all of imperial quality, and he also brought some small gifts for the envoys, making sure they had a deep impression of him.
Now Prince Jun wants him to get out of the way?
Why?
"Before entering the city, they will eat and drink the things they bring with them. If they get an upset stomach when they arrive in the capital, who do you think will be responsible?" Xiao Lanyuan's words came over lightly.
Lejia is very noble.
"These are all royal products. I spent a lot of effort to find them. They are not dirty things. How could I get sick from eating them?"
This is simply looking for trouble!
If you want to get rid of him, don't use such a ridiculous excuse.
"Just in case." Xiao Lanyuan said.
"Where do so many what-ifs come from? Prince Jun——"
Xiao Lanyuan lost his patience and said, "Go away."
Hearing that he was angry, the guards immediately took action, took away everything in the pavilion, and drove away the beauties.
Le Jia was so arrogant that he jumped up and down, his neck flushed, and shouted, "Prince Jun, you can't be so overbearing, can you? This is not a place for you alone. I am from the Ministry of Rites. What's wrong with me coming here to greet the envoy of the Min Kingdom? Ahhh!"
Before he could finish his words, he was picked up and taken away by the palace guards.
Seeing Le Jiagui and the people he brought with him being driven away, Xiao Lanyuan sneered and leaned back on the soft pillow.
Concubine Le is really very active. She even needs people in her family to make her presence felt in such a matter.
"Your Highness, we still don't know what the purpose of the envoys from the Min Kingdom is." Qing Yi was a little worried.
"Well, you want to curry favor with the other party without even knowing their purpose. You must have been kicked in the brain by a donkey." Xiao Lanyuan looked down on Concubine Le for this reason.
He actually has no opinion on women themselves, but he dislikes stupid women, such as Concubine Le.
She was originally petty-minded, with no vision or pattern, but she insisted on thinking that she was a charming concubine who could manipulate the entire court. She wanted to get involved in everything and control everything.
What a petty person! Who knew that the envoy was coming, so he brought a few beauties to welcome him?
Don't lose face for Zhaoguo.
Those beauties were also ordered to hide in Le Jiagui's carriage, not to make a sound or come out.
They were shivering a little in the carriage.
Prince Jun was still wearing a mask, and I didn't know if his face was still as scary. Le Jiagui had told them on the way here that if they showed up in front of Prince Jun and had a chance to seduce him, they must seize the opportunity to stick to him.
Now none of them dared to have any thoughts.
Prince Jun is too cold-blooded and heartless. He even had Lord Le dragged away by the guards. How dare they stick with him?
I might get kicked away, so scary.
Xiao Lanyuan waited for a while and finally heard some movement coming from afar.
Here it comes.
Seeing the long procession from afar, he jumped off the carriage, walked to the pavilion and sat down.
Min Guo's troops arrived at Shilipoting and stopped.
Of course, they also saw Prince Jun's carriage and the solemn Dragon Shadow Guards.
A servant went to the carriage to report, and soon the carriage door was opened and someone was helped down.
Qing Yi and his friends saw Min Guo's carriages. These carriages for long-distance journeys were built bigger and stronger. The doors of the carriages were also solid wooden doors, carved with flowers, plants, birds and animals, and were extremely luxurious.
The horses pulling the carriages seemed to be of a different breed from those from Zhao State; they were taller and more majestic, with strong hooves.
There were a total of sixteen carriages and dozens of guards.
Their clothes are mainly dark blue, with silver blue embellishments, which makes them look grand and noble.
Looking at those guards, they were all tall and strong, with three-dimensional and firm facial features. Compared with the relatively gentle appearance of Zhaoguo men, they were full of masculinity.
Such a team of envoys can easily bring a sense of oppression.
Over there, Le Jiagui and others saw this scene and subconsciously held their breath.
At this moment, they felt what it meant to be the strongest country.
"It's over, it's over. If Prince Jun is still that arrogant, will he offend the envoys from the Min Kingdom?" Le Jiagui is a little worried now.
His attendant stood on tiptoe and looked over there, "Sir, I wonder which one is the envoy?"
"Nonsense, isn't that the one who just got off the carriage? They walked towards Prince Jun."
Le Jiagui walked a few steps toward that side, wanting to see it more clearly. He didn't know if they would have a conflict as soon as they met.
"If Prince Jun offends the envoy of the Min Kingdom, wouldn't that be perfect? You can go to the palace and complain to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely blame and punish Prince Jun." The attendant quickly offered advice.
Le Jiagui glared at him.
"When have you ever seen the emperor actually punish Prince Jun?"
"Yes, sir. Didn't you put Prince Jun in jail last year?"
Tsk, it was agreed that Prince Jun would be imprisoned for two months, but he was released after three days and returned to the palace on his own. The Emperor didn’t even dare to call him into the palace to scold him. What kind of punishment is that?
"You know nothing."
Now we can only wait and see the attitude of the envoys from the Min Kingdom. If the envoys from the Min Kingdom put pressure on the emperor, perhaps the emperor will dare to take real action against Prince Jun.
Another possibility is to see if they will directly conflict and fight now.
If a fight really breaks out, Prince Jun won't be a match for the tall and mighty guards of the Min envoys, right?
Over there, Xiao Lanyuan watched the person approach him and he slowly stood up.
Several guards came over with two people, one of whom might be the envoy of the State of Min. He was also very tall, with calluses on his knuckles. It was obvious that his lower body was very stable when he walked. He had a neatly trimmed moustache and was about forty years old.
This is a person who practices martial arts.
Xiao Lanyuan was quite surprised. Usually, envoys sent to other countries were civil officials, but this one looked like a military general.
The other party looked at Xiao Lanyuan and spoke.
"Prince Jun of Zhao State, Xiao Lanyuan?"
The other party called out his name as soon as he opened his mouth.
"It is this king."
