Chapter 481 Like an old friend The one
who came to greet her was not the Emperor of Dayan, nor the Queen Mother of Dayan, but the Grand Tutor Jing and the little prince who stood on the city tower and looked down at her.
The old and the young both had icy faces, and they stood straight as they stared at the Queen Su in the carriage.
Damn it!
Not only did they fail to shock Jiang Xinyue, but she also gave them a show of power. The importance of the prince and the Grand Tutor was not low either, and she still couldn't express her dissatisfaction.
Because the prince was the next crown prince, receiving her, the queen of another country, was already a face for her.
But this was not what Su Yanran wanted. What she wanted was for Jiang Xinyue to come out in person and welcome her into the palace.
"Welcome the Queen of Jin to visit Dayan. Our Emperor and Queen Mother have already held a banquet in the palace. Please invite the Queen
of Jin and the envoys to the palace for an audience." As soon as Master Jing opened his mouth, he had already defined Jin as a small country under Dayan.
In terms of speaking skills, if Jiang Yankun dares to rank first, he dares to rank second.
"Queen!"
The envoys of Jin were a little unhappy. They were all equally powerful countries. Why did they use the word "audience" to refer to them?
Su Yanran raised her hand to stop him from speaking: "We are here to make an alliance, not to make an enemy. There is no need to bother with them about such a small matter."
She came to kill Jiang Xinyue. As long as she could avenge her family, it would be okay to endure it for a while.
To enter the palace, the guards brought by the Jin Kingdom can only bring four into the palace, and the others must stay in the inn and wait.
"Wait!"
Outside the Shenwu Gate, the guards stopped a figure in a black robe: "Why are you sneaking around? You are not allowed to cover your face in the palace. Take off your cloak."
The people of the Jin Kingdom just like to play tricks. The Queen Mother said that from the moment they stepped into the palace of Dayan, they would not be allowed to be comfortable.
It's a nuisance for others, and their guards are the best.
Su Yanran took a deep breath and winked at the black cloak. The man took off the cloak, revealing an ordinary face.
The guard was silent for a long time, and finally said nothing, waved his hand and let him go.
No!
What does he mean?
It would be better to just call someone ugly, which would also make the people of Dayan look uncultured. Who was he doing that hesitation for?
Before Su Yanran met Jiang Xinyue's people, she and the people around her were already furious.
But those people were very subtle, which made the Jin people want to get angry, but they were afraid that others would think they were unreasonable.
This year's New Year's banquet was particularly grand and solemn because it was to receive envoys from the Jin Kingdom.
Jiang Xinyue and the emperor sat side by side on the upper left, and under the high platform were civil and military officials and their families.
The seats were lined up from the direction closest to the emperor and empress... to the door of the palace banquet hall.
Before stepping through the door, Su Yanran took a deep breath, straightened her back, and tried her best to show her majesty and nobility.
"The Queen of Jin and the envoys are here—"
When they come on a diplomatic mission, they will not come empty-handed. With the entrance of Su Yanran, a long list of gifts was also announced.
Rare treasures, precious cultural relics, local specialties... everything is available.
"Thank you, our friend, the Emperor of Jin. Someone, please prepare a seat for the Queen of Jin!"
What does the Emperor of Dayan mean?
He sent so many good things, but didn't even prepare a seat for the Queen Mother of Jin in advance?
The seat is just below Jiang Xinyue's left hand, and on the right sit Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang.
There is basically no one else in the palace except these two concubines.
Concubine Liang wanted to be arranged to leave the palace, but it was impossible. She had given birth to a child for the emperor and was the mother of the eldest princess. She could only wait for the emperor to die, and then ask the Queen Mother of Heaven for grace to leave the palace.
Concubine Shu nudged Concubine Liang with her elbow: "I asked you to look at the Queen of Jin! Why didn't you respond? Why are you always staring at the Emperor?"
Concubine Liang touched her chin and took a deep breath: "I see that the Emperor's forehead is black, his cheeks are blue, and his eyes are dull. It seems that his time is coming... cough cough cough... No, I mean that the Emperor may be in big trouble."
She couldn't leave the palace until the Emperor died!
The eldest princess had given birth to her little granddaughter. She brought her into the palace last time to show her. She was so sweet, soft and adorable. She wanted to leave the palace even more.
Concubine Shu didn't understand what she was talking about, and pulled her sleeve again: "The Queen of Jin is Su Yanran. Why do I feel that she looks a bit like our Great Yan people? She looks a bit familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere."
But she couldn't remember where she had seen her.
Concubine Liang narrowed her eyes: "Hiss——"
Concubine Shu: "What's the matter? What did you find?"
"She is so beautiful! No wonder the new emperor of Jin refused to select beauties for her."
I heard that there was only Queen Su in the harem.
"Tsk!"
"I thought you found out who she looked like!"
On the high platform, Jiang Xinyue's eyes met Su Yanran's, and an inexplicable spark spread between the two.
Jiang Xinyue was the first to laugh out loud: "Empress Su looks like an old friend of mine."
"Oh?" Su Yanran also laughed: "I wonder which old friend the noble Queen of Dayan can't forget?"
Jiang Xinyue raised her lips and said lazily: "Since she is an old friend, she must be a deceased person. Let's not mention such an unlucky thing on such a great festival as the New Year's Banquet!"
Her nonchalant attitude almost broke Su Yanran's expression!
Jiang Xinyue, this bitch, killed her sister and killed so many people in the Su family. When she mentioned the old friend, she still looked nonchalant and unlucky.
It's really...
hateful!
Damn it!
With her fingers clenched into fists under the table, Su Yanran forced herself to smile: "The Kingdom of Jin intends to make friends with Dayan, and our emperor specially asked me to bring gifts to the emperor of Dayan."
She clapped her hands, and a group of dancers in gorgeous and revealing clothes came in. The sound of melodious music came from somewhere, and all the dancers were stunning.
Their faces were charming, their figures were enchanting, and their dancing was seductive. Soon, many officials of Dayan who lacked self-control were immersed in the singing and dancing.
No!
Perhaps it could be said that they were immersed in young and beautiful bodies.
Suddenly, the music became urgent, and a woman in a black robe, revealing her slender waist and snow-white thighs, fell from the sky. The bells on her wrists made a rhythmic "bell" sound.
She also had a red rope tied around her waist, and there were small bells on the red rope. As her waist swayed, the bells on her wrists complemented each other, which was extremely charming.
The emperor shook his head and felt dizzy. The black-robed woman's hood fell off, and under the light, it was Jiang Xinyue's face.
This is impossible!
The emperor shook his head again, thinking that he was a little drunk from drinking too much.
The dancer danced closer and closer. Jiang Xinyue closed her eyes and shook her head. As the world spun around, she felt a familiar feeling.
Could it be that... I had run into... a senior in the same profession?
