To take it seriously is to admit that you are deaf.
Although she was furious, she could only lift the curtain and smiled at Murong Qingyu, "It's the Prince of Zhennan. My apologies. I was talking to Princess Ya just now and didn't hear your voice. Please forgive me. What did you say just now?"
As soon as Mo Yunfang finished speaking, Murong Qingyu and Murong Qingyun's faces darkened.
The title of King of Zhennan being taken back by the Emperor did not make much difference to those who had lived in Nanyue for many years. In their minds, the Grand Marshal was already second only to the emperor, so whether he was the King of Zhennan or not was of little importance to him.
But the title of Prince of Zhennan was an honorary one after all, and now the emperor had revoked his title because he was found to have secretly stored troops. And now Mo Yunfang was bringing up this matter, clearly reminding everyone that the Grand Marshal was harboring evil intentions by secretly storing troops.
Seeing his father's expression suddenly change, Murong Qingyun reread his words for the third time and then said, "Also, the beast that Crown Prince Yelu is riding must remain outside the palace. Although its front teeth are missing and it resembles a white cat, it is still quite large. We hope that our distinguished guest from Xiliang will cooperate."
Upon hearing this, Yelu Jingcun instantly became furious and roared, "This is my Xiliang sacred beast. Who dares to call it a cat?"
After hearing what Yelu Jingcun said, Murong Qingyun led the group in laughing.
"Can a divine beast have its teeth knocked out by an inkstone? Prince Yelu, look at the beast beneath you. Calling it a cat is already flattering it. In my opinion, this thing looks more like a spotted pig."
Everyone present saw the arrogance of the Xiliang royal family. At this moment, everyone was united in praising Murong Qingyun's words and laughed in unison.
Yelu Jingcun wanted to say something, but was shouted back by Mo Yunfang.
After everyone had laughed enough, Mo Yunfang smiled and said, "Since Master Qingyun thinks this beast is worse than a cat, why not let my son take it in? Although Nanyue is not a martial nation, at least they wouldn't be afraid of even a pig, right?"
Facing Mo Yunfang's general, Murong Qingyun didn't know how to respond for a moment. Murong Qingyu clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Since Da Yanshi thinks that your country's prince is riding a pig, then please let Prince Yelu ride your pig in.
"But the pig is stupid and brainless, so please, Prince Yelu, take good care of it. If this pig offends a distinguished guest, it would be disastrous if Prince Yelu was accused of being unable to control a pig."
After being relentlessly rebuked by Murong Qingyu, Mo Yunfang's expression changed dramatically. Anyone familiar with her would have known that this was a sign of Da Yanshi's extreme anger.
"The Emperor of Dongyang has arrived—Princess Dongyang has arrived—"
Following another loud shout at the palace gate, Emperor Feng Wenzhuo of Dongyang, located in the northeast of the Jiuzhou Continent, arrived at the gate with his elder sister Feng Luoran, along with Dongyang's envoys and merchants.
Murong Qingyu and Murong Qingyun tacitly abandoned the Xiliang Da Yanshi and his entourage and headed towards the Dongyang Emperor with smiles on their faces. The Xiliang royal family was left with only a small official from the Ministry of Rites to greet them and arrange their entry into the palace.
Knowing that she could not get any good results in front of Murong Qingyu, Mo Yunfang snorted and flicked her sleeves before entering the palace gate.
She had disliked Murong Qingyu twenty years ago. The reason she disliked him was that someone had once compared him to that person.
