So when Ye Jinyun was still doing high-leg exercises in the room, a maid opened the stone chamber and came in.
"Madam, the king invites you to a banquet tonight. The servants are here to help you wash and change your clothes."
Attending a banquet?
What kind of plan was Helian Rongxia coming up with? But that was fine. She might as well go out for a walk. Otherwise, she wouldn't even know which way the door of the Beirong Palace faced.
Since Ye Jinyun never liked being dressed up, when the two maids tried their best to dress her up in the gorgeous style that Beirong women liked, Ye Jinyun refused.
She just let them dress her up a little casually. As a prisoner now, how could she dress up so extravagantly in front of the enemy?
But she was extremely beautiful in herself. After such simple decoration and wearing the black gauze dress that was the favorite of the women of the Northern Rong Kingdom, she had a unique charm that even the maids who were doing her makeup were mesmerized.
They knew that the woman brought back from Da Qi was outstanding in appearance, but she had never deliberately dressed up in the past, so when they saw her they just thought she was very beautiful. They didn't expect that after dressing up, she would be so stunning.
The black veil worn on her snow-like skin and her otherworldly and stunning face formed a sharp contrast with the charming black. It felt like a combination of a demon in the dark and a cold and noble fairy, exuding both charm and nobility.
Ye Jinyun ignored the looks the maids gave her. To her, it didn't matter what she wore, except that the black veil made her look both sexy and pure.
She couldn't help but feel a little surprised, as she had never tried this style before. However, she didn't think too much about it, as it wasn't her decision what to wear. So after they finished packing, she let them take her to the party.
After being brought to the dinner, Ye Jinyun looked at the scene in front of him and had only this feeling in his heart.
Jiuchi Roulin
She used to think that Mo Qiyuan was very lucky to have so many concubines, but after seeing him today, compared with Helian Rongxia's enjoyment, it was really bland.
The mist, the stringed instruments, the soft music, and the beauties in the veil are the true portrayal of this dinner party.
After looking at the scene in the hall for a while, Ye Jinyun lowered his head and stopped looking at these confusing scenes. He was led to his seat with his head lowered and sat down.
But even so, the moment she appeared at the door of the hall, she still amazed everyone in the hall, and even after she sat down, there were still bursts of gasps coming from all around.
Helian Rongxia's eyes flashed with surprise when he looked at her. He knew that Ye Jinyun was very beautiful, but she looked even more radiant and charming after being dressed up like this today. Even if she lowered her head, it was difficult for people to take their eyes off her.
Ye Jinyun knew that everyone in the hall was looking at her, but she seemed unaware and just lowered her head to eat her food.
She wasn't here to join in the fun, and she didn't know what Helian Rongxia asked her to do. Anyway, that wasn't the purpose of her coming out, so she might as well just enjoy her own food.
Just as she was struggling with a piece of eight-treasure duck in her bowl, someone's words caught her attention.
Only a rough voice was heard:
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Da Qi is truly treacherous. He had already seen through our intention to send troops. When we pretended to attack, he took the opportunity to counterattack and captured two of our cities. This humiliation is unbearable. Your Majesty, please send a large force for an all-out attack on Da Qi."
Ye Jinyun saw that the person who spoke was a tall and burly man with a face full of murderous aura, which was the expression that only came from someone who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
Helian Rongxia didn't reply when he heard this, but spoke slowly to Ye Jinyun:
"Mrs. Yun, how do you think Beirong should deal with this situation?"
Ye Jinyun complained in his heart, what do I think?
I think you should just surrender! Hand over the Northern Rong kingdom to the Great Qi. The key is, do you listen?
But he smiled and said:
"If Your Majesty considers the people of Beirong, I believe a ceasefire should be called."
Anyway, since you asked me to talk, I'll just say whatever I want. It's up to you to decide what you want to do. You're just asking me for fun.
Unexpectedly, Helian Rongxia smiled softly, and said with a somewhat ambiguous look on his evil face:
"What Lady Yun said resonated deeply with me."
Ye Jinyun couldn't help but look up at him, only to see that he was smiling at her.
Are you sick? Are you afraid that you are the biggest undercover agent of our Great Qi in Beirong?
The tall man disagreed and glared at Ye Jinyun angrily.
"Your Majesty, how dare this woman interfere in the affairs of the court? Please don't treat it so frivolously."
Hearing this, Helian Rongxia put away his smile, and a cold expression appeared on his handsome face:
"General Murong, retaking the city is certainly important, but if you suggest sending troops without considering the current national conditions of the Northern Rong, won't you be putting the Northern Rong in dire straits?"
Murong Kui is a typical brave but foolish soldier. After receiving the battle report from the border today, he felt that as a real man, he could not swallow this humiliation and was determined to beat the soldiers of Da Qi into a pulp, so he petitioned the king to send troops at the banquet.
However, they forgot that famine had been afflicting many parts of the Northern Rong since last year, and that the situation had only recently eased. The national situation was unstable, and the food and fodder stores were insufficient, making it completely unsuitable for war.
Thinking of this, he immediately realized that he had acted rashly, and immediately knelt down with a plop and said:
"I was careless and acted rashly, so I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. However, I, Beirong, and the cities we fought two years ago will never be surrendered to Daqi. Your Majesty, please make plans soon."
Helian Rongxia did not answer him, but stood up from his seat and walked to Ye Jinyun, lifted her chin, and said jokingly:
