Emperor Dezheng immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile, praising Dongyang Kingdom's eldest princess Feng Luoran from head to toe.
Everyone knew that as long as the princess was happy, the Emperor of Dongyang would be happy too. Therefore, with South Vietnam about to enter a civil war, gaining one more ally meant having one less enemy.
Sure enough, when the eldest princess's face flushed and she smiled sweetly because of Emperor Dezheng's deliberate flattery, the laughter of Emperor Dongyang was also heard.
As soon as Emperor Dongyang appeared, the two princesses of the Western Jin Dynasty turned their attention to him again. Although the Emperor Dongyang was young and not as handsome as Qian Yeming, he was the ruler of a country. If any of them were lucky enough to marry him, even if they couldn't become empress, being a concubine would be good!
"The Xiliang envoy has arrived—"
The envoys from Dongyang State took their seats, and after Emperor Dezheng greeted them with a smile for a long time, the envoys from Xiliang finally entered the hall.
Xiliang is the country with the strongest military strength except for the Northern Wei. Since the Northern Wei is not present at the Five Nations Chamber of Commerce, Xiliang is the most powerful one.
Furthermore, the vast Western Regions, which occupies the west and northwest, has always been a place full of mystery. Among other things, the poisons of the Western Regions are feared by all nations.
Furthermore, Xiliang Da Yanshi's reputation was resounding throughout the entire Kyushu Continent. Beautiful, austere, cruel, and vicious... In short, most people with nothing better to do would not take the initiative to provoke this beautiful, crazy woman.
The older members of the royal family were all aware that the Xiliang Emperor's love for the Northern Wei Emperor wasn't for her own emperor. To win him over, she even went so far as to assassinate her sister, the former Northern Wei Empress, who was once hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Nine Provinces.
However, the power of Xiliang had long been in the hands of this Da Yanshi, and her words were more effective than those of the king. So even if the king was cuckolded, it was not a big deal.
Emperor Dezheng had already heard about the Prince of Xiliang acting recklessly on the streets of Nanyue. In addition, the Great Yanshi of Xiliang had a close relationship with the Divine Religion, and Nanyue was now facing a break with the Divine Religion. Therefore, he would not be naive enough to think that Xiliang could stand on the side of Nanyue by just collusion.
Therefore, when the envoy from Xiliang entered, Emperor Dezheng was not prepared to stand up to greet him as he did to Dongyang.
However, a long time passed after the eunuch's words fell, and no one from Xiliang arrived. Furthermore, a quarrel could be heard outside the hall. Inside, everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering what the Xiliang envoy was up to.
Soon after, an official from the Ministry of Rites rushed into the palace and reported, "Your Majesty, Crown Prince Yelu of Xiliang has arrived riding a tiger and is insisting on bringing the tiger into the palace."
"What?"
When the envoys heard the ceremonial officer's words, they immediately became furious. Emperor Dezheng was also furious.
"Tell Crown Prince Yelu that there are many guests in the palace. To prevent the animals from hurting people, please be considerate of everyone and lock the tiger outside."
"yes."
After receiving the emperor's order, the officials from the Ministry of Rites immediately withdrew. However, after waiting for a long time, the noise outside not only did not subside, but became louder. At this moment, the officials from the Ministry of Rites came in again.
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Yelu said that if he is not allowed to bring his tiger in, he will not come in."
Prince Yelu's actions made envoys from various countries very angry and dissatisfied.
