That's incredibly aggressive, starting a fight right away!
Many of the Northern Yan courtiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful they hadn't been so tactless, otherwise they would have been the ones getting slapped in the face.
As for the short men, apart from Xun Yi who remained silent to the side, the others all looked like they wanted to kill Jiang Jiu Niang to vent their anger.
It's one thing for the Northern Yan court to disrespect them, but for this woman to suddenly appear and dare to directly attack their people is simply disregard for their dignity.
One of the short men looked at the emperor and angrily said, "Your Majesty, we expect an explanation from you! Don't be so stubborn!"
"Smack!"
A crisp slap landed on the head of the short boy who had just been forced to drink the penalty wine.
Jiang Jiuniang waved her hand dismissively: "I'll hit you if I want to, do I need any reason?"
"What are you glaring at me for? You don't like me? Then bite me!"
As Jiang Jiuniang spoke, she made funny faces, which infuriated the group of short men.
Only Xun Yi stood beside him, a doting smile on his face.
Over the years, Lan Jiu has remained the same Lan Jiu, unchanged.
So cute.
I really want to destroy her.
Perhaps his gaze was too disgusting, because Jiang Jiuniang noticed it and glared at him, saying, "What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"
The dwarfs were on the verge of anger, but the court officials stood up for Jiang Jiuniang at the crucial moment. Someone said, "Madam Lu is a first-rank imperial consort. She followed General Lu to the battlefield and won an unprecedented victory for our Northern Yan. How can she not be allowed to speak to the court? We ourselves have not said anything. When did it become your place, a group of foreigners, to point fingers?"
Once someone started, things became much easier. Many people stood up to speak up for Jiang Jiuniang, clearly showing their displeasure towards the Japanese.
"hateful!"
The islanders gritted their teeth; these Northern Yan people deserved to die, they had to be killed!
Jiang Jiuniang glanced at the people who spoke up for her. Very good, she remembered it and would help them next time they were in trouble!
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, with neither side willing to back down. Finally, Xun Yi spoke up, saying to the Japanese in Japanese, "Remember our purpose, don't mess it up!"
In short, he successfully extinguished the anger of the island nation.
Their goal is to obtain the Pangu Jade, and they will stop at nothing to achieve it.
So, the one who was forced to drink the penalty wine took a deep breath and said, "We came here with sincerity to make peace through marriage. There's an old saying in Northern Yan: 'A magnanimous person is generous.' I won't hold a grudge against a woman like you today..."
"Hahahaha..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Jiuniang's burst of laughter.
"You guys, 'magnanimous'? Hahaha, don't you even take a piss and look at yourselves in the mirror before saying such things? How presumptuous of you!"
Island nation people: ...
Is this woman never going to stop?!
The emperor sat on the throne watching Jiang Jiuniang beat and taunt him, thoroughly enjoying himself and almost bursting out laughing.
It really is more interesting to bring Jiang Jiuniang here. Before Jiang Jiuniang came, they were the ones who were so angry that they almost had a heart attack. As soon as Jiang Jiuniang arrived, the person who was in charge was replaced. That's great.
"Alright, you claim to be here for a marriage alliance, but you show no sincerity whatsoever. You keep saying you're full of sincerity, but I see no sincerity in you. Let's call it quits. It's getting late, and I'm tired. Court is adjourned."
After saying that, he got up and left, not giving these shorty people any face at all.
The dwarfs were furious, but there was nothing they could do, because they were on someone else's territory and could only bow their heads no matter how unwilling they were.
After the emperor left, the court officials were also allowed to leave. Surprisingly, the palace did not prepare a banquet as it usually did for envoys. The court officials exchanged glances, which was quite interesting.
This is clearly a disrespectful act towards the island nation. They came for a marriage alliance, but the palace isn't providing meals. What are they going to do?
Just as everyone was curious about this, a young eunuch stepped out from the crowd and said to the islanders, "Our Northern Yan Kingdom's treasury is empty, and we really can't afford to host a banquet for you all. However, our chefs are top-notch. If you would like to order a chef to cook for you, His Majesty the Emperor is willing to lend the chef to you. However, you will have to take care of the chef's salary and the cost of the food yourself."
The young eunuch spoke softly and gently, seemingly apologetic, but he treated them with the utmost sincerity. Whether they wanted to stay or not was up to them.
The courtiers who were eavesdropping nearby were speechless for a moment. What grudge did the emperor have against the islanders? How could he treat them like this?
So exciting, I love it!
The island nation's envoy was so angry he couldn't speak. He never expected the Northern Yan court to be so petty. Was this how they treated their guests?
Before one of them could speak, Xun Yi stopped him, saying, "A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. It's not like we can't afford to eat."
This idea must have come from that little money-grubber. Since she likes it, he might as well go along with her wishes. Anyway, it's the Japanese people's money being spent, so he doesn't care at all.
The islanders obeyed Xunyi's every word. Those who were initially angry immediately stopped arguing and said to the little eunuch, "Then send your cook to our lodgings."
The young eunuch replied respectfully, "Yes, may I ask where you live?"
Envoy from the island nation: !!!
"You Northern Yan people are going too far! Is this how you treat your guests? Not only do you not provide us with food, but you also won't even arrange accommodation for us?"
The island nation's envoy couldn't stand it any longer. This time, he didn't even look at Xun Yi's expression and spat directly at the little eunuch's face.
The young eunuch wiped his face, his smile perfectly timed: "I'm so sorry, you've never been here before, and we don't have an embassy for you. We'll have to trouble you to stay at an inn. Don't worry, all the inns in Beiyan are quite good, especially those in the capital. They have everything you need, and we're sure you'll have a comfortable stay! Once you've decided on an inn, we'll send the cook over."
The island nation's envoy grinned and said, "We're already staying at an inn, what use are your cooks to us!"
He practically roared, while the little eunuch was much gentler, still smiling as he said, "If you don't need it, that's fine too. We won't force you."
The island nation's envoy had no more words to say. He turned and left quickly, leaving the little eunuch far behind.
Seeing them walk away, the young eunuch knew his mission was complete and happily went back to report to the emperor.
"Great! Hahahaha..."
The emperor laughed heartily; he hadn't been this happy in a long time.
These people captured and controlled Jingwei, whom he had carefully nurtured, and even dug up so many graves in Beiyan, preventing the dead from resting in peace. It would be a miracle if he could still treat them with kindness!
It was Jiang Jiuniang who came up with this idea. Although it had some impact on their reputation, it was really great. Anyway, reputation can't put food on the table, so being happy is the most important thing.
