Seeing that the emperor was still not satisfied, the Minister of Rites immediately said, "Speaking of which, these Hu girls are also good at singing and dancing, and they have unique exotic styles. If they can stay in the palace for a few months, they can also learn from the palace dancers, which is a good thing!"
The emperor agreed to this matter very readily.
The emperor's every move and the entire incident were seen by the envoys from southern Xinjiang.
The two of them looked at each other secretly many times and whispered to each other for a long time when the banquet was about to end.
One of the envoys stood up and said, "Now that we have brought the sincerity of Southern Xinjiang, I wonder if the emperor is willing to reconcile with Southern Xinjiang?"
The emperor smiled without saying anything, just gently shaking the wine glass.
The prime minister at the side took over the conversation and said: "The current situation between the two countries cannot be treated as a child's fight. We can discuss it from the beginning. The two envoys should not be anxious."
I have to say that the Prime Minister is very capable in observing people's words and expressions.
Being able to figure out the emperor's thoughts so quickly, he is indeed worthy of being above everyone else.
When the two envoys heard this, they looked at each other, and the other envoy stepped forward and said, "We are now full of sincerity. In addition, our princess from Southern Xinjiang has recently come of age. Our king of Southern Xinjiang intends to marry the princess to the Celestial Empire, to the most noble person in the Celestial Empire. We also hope that the two countries can restore their close relationship!"
At this point, the emperor frowned slightly.
Although the emperor has the same thoughts as all men now, he does not refuse everything.
Moreover, the emperor was very clear that if he agreed to this marriage, it would mean that there would be a second woman from southern Xinjiang in his harem.
The emperor had experienced all kinds of tricks used by the people of southern Xinjiang during this period, and to be honest, he was a little scared.
After all, Southern Xinjiang is synonymous with mystery in the eyes of most people.
Which man can accept that the person next to him has so many tricks?
So the emperor just smiled and said, "Princess, you are so young, you should find a young man in southern Xinjiang, but there is no need for you to travel thousands of miles away from your hometown to come here!"
When the envoys from Southern Xinjiang saw that their proposals had been rejected time and again, even the most insensitive ones could sense that the Celestial Empire's attitude was ambiguous.
The situation had come to this, and the emperor of the Celestial Empire was not willing to listen to anything they said, so the two envoys from southern Xinjiang were not as active afterwards.
After the banquet, the envoys were arranged to stay in a mansion outside the imperial palace.
This mansion is specially used to receive these foreigners and can be regarded as their embassy.
Although China's attitude is ambiguous, it still maintains relatively high standards in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
This made the two envoys from southern Xinjiang even more confused.
Zhao Ji wore a nightgown at night and sneaked onto the roof of the two envoys from southern Xinjiang. To put it bluntly, he came to find out what the two men meant.
The two envoys looked worried as soon as they returned to the embassy.
"The mission assigned by His Majesty is impossible to complete. The Emperor of the Celestial Empire is too cautious and basically doesn't trust us..."
"Is it because of what happened to the Saint? So many years have passed, and there is no news about the Saint. I'm afraid she died in the palace fight!"
"Is it because of the Saint?"
The two envoys looked at each other and pondered for a moment. One of them shook his head and said, "I don't think this is the right question. You know, the Saint's incident happened a long time ago. So many years have passed, and the Emperor has hardly mentioned it."
"We decided to come over to visit just in the past two months. I think the emperor's attitude is ambiguous. I'm afraid he still doesn't trust us."
The two envoys looked worried.
"By the way, I seemed to see some of my tribesmen on the street today."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did the other envoy's expression change slightly, but even Zhao Ji's expression became serious.
The next step is to see whether these envoys have any connection with the group of people from southern Xinjiang who arrived in the capital first.
"How is that possible? Southern Xinjiang is full of miasma all year round. Without the detoxification pills from the Lord, how could anyone escape from the miasma? I know very well that the Lord only let the two of us out in this batch."
"But I am sure I saw him on the street. That person had tattoos of our Southern Xinjiang tribe, and the smell on his body was also the smell of living in Southern Xinjiang for many years."
"You know, I have a very sensitive nose, there's no way I could have smelled it wrong!"
As soon as this was said, another envoy frowned: "But if this is really the case, why did they come to the Celestial Empire?"
Zhao Ji was listening with great interest.
After a while, I suddenly felt the presence of a stranger around me. When I turned around, I saw Yueying's familiar face.
"Don't talk, listen carefully, there are clues below!" Seeing that the person who came was a familiar person, Zhao Ji relaxed his tense body?
Yueying also had something to ask Zhao Ji this time.
However, no matter how important the matter is right now, it is not as important as the conversation between the two envoys below.
"Who knows what these people are doing in the Heavenly Dynasty? If they are not His Majesty's people, then there is only one possibility left!"
"The people who came out must be the traitors of the Saint's lineage. They must have the pills that the Saint had made before, so they were able to sneak out quietly."
"But why did they come to China?"
Another envoy with a sharp mind thought for a moment and speculated, "So is it possible that these people came to the Celestial Empire first because we were going to the Celestial Empire?"
The envoy next to him thought about it and nodded, and he could not rule out this possibility.
In a sense, this may even be the truth.
At this time, an envoy snorted coldly: "Their group has now hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and they are still dreaming of causing trouble. It is really because of your majesty's mercy that he let them live!"
The envoy next to him didn't say anything, but his expression showed approval.
"This makes some sense. They must have caused some trouble in the capital, so the emperor of the Celestial Empire is so cautious and ambiguous about what we are discussing!"
At this point, the two envoys sighed, feeling regretful and remorseful.
"This time I came here to repair the relationship with the Emperor of the Celestial Empire. Otherwise, the position that the Emperor has just secured will be unstable. The situation in Wu Jing's Southern Xinjiang is much more complicated than that of ten years ago..."
When the two talked about the inside information of Southern Xinjiang, they switched to the Southern Xinjiang dialect.
Zhao Ji could not understand what was said afterwards, but he could tell from the expressions of the two envoys that they were just reminiscing about the fulfillment of the glorious past.
