Chapter 403: Madam's Escape Almost Cost Me My Life 1
In the magnificent hall, with the lively atmosphere of toasting each other, Meng Jiao remained calm in the face of the emperor's sudden concern and care, waiting for the show tonight.
As expected, when the atmosphere of the palace banquet reached its climax, Zishu Zhuojun slowly stood up and spoke to the people at the banquet below.
"My dear ministers, today's banquet, in addition to rewarding the merits of our border soldiers, has another matter that I need to announce to you. Come, summon the envoys from Southern Xinjiang and Xiling to enter the palace."
Compared to the small number of officials who had already known about the foreign invasion of Beijing, most of the lower-ranking officials or their families were shocked when they heard the emperor's words.
If he hadn't been concerned about being in the imperial palace, he would have found it difficult to conceal his disgust.
So when Chu Chenyi and the others were summoned to the palace, everyone they passed by stared at them in silence.
Seeing this, Yu Mengli, who was surrounded by several people, nervously pinched the soft flesh on her palms, trying to suppress the fear in her heart.
Ever since this group of people entered the palace, everyone, including the emperor at the top, couldn't help but look at Meng Jiao who was drinking alone.
But from beginning to end, Meng Jiao looked calm and composed.
But the attendant behind her had a fierce look on his face, as if he would suddenly attack and kill someone at any time.
Seeing Meng Jiao calm and reserved, without making any moves, the emperor could not guess what she was thinking, but he just smiled secretly and continued to act according to the plan.
In short, whether she chooses to protect herself or get involved today, it will be beneficial to him in taking back the military power.
"My dear ministers, as the ruler of a country, I have seen that our great country, Zhou Yuan, is devastated by the flames of war.
Now our country’s power is declining and people are still displaced by the endless wars. Because of this, I cannot sleep at night and cannot enjoy my food.
If this continues, the country will be destroyed and people will suffer.
Therefore, this time the envoys came to ask for peace and gathered in our court, not to fight, but only to discuss the great plan of world peace.
I hope that you, my dear ministers, will help me and offer advice to achieve peace in the world."
His words were full of righteousness, expressing the suffering of war and the magnanimity of a ruler.
However, even with the approval of the court officials who had been arranged long ago, the atmosphere on the scene was still weird.
The Queen Mother's party, who had known about today's palace banquet drama since early morning, saw that both the Queen Mother and Zishu Hexuan at the top were expressionless, so they also followed suit and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Except for the envoys and the emperor, the only one left was the prince who had been spoiled by the emperor.
While glancing at Yu Mengli in the group of envoys in a self-proclaimed secret manner, he shouted "Father, your majesty is wise".
As the palace banquet was halfway through, the atmosphere gradually became cold due to the non-participation of the two major parties.
In particular, no matter how they negotiated, even the most impulsive generals in the past chose to turn a deaf ear.
It would be a lie to say that they were not in a hurry. It was just that all the generals were headed by the Qin family. Before they came, they were still worried that a young girl would not be able to take responsibility. However, they did not expect that she was more calm than them.
Seeing that even she was not anxious or impatient, how could these generals who had lost the Qin family and could see the future at a glance dare to stand out?
Seeing this, Chu Chenyi's eyes turned dark, and he secretly made a gesture to the person behind him.
He had already found out the situation in the capital, and the emperor was just using these envoys as a raft.
If he succeeds, he will take over the vassal state; if he fails, he will suppress the Qin family and regain control of the military power.
The emperor has made such a clear plan, but don't these people want to take advantage of the emperor's stupidity to delay Meng Jiao, the King of Chang'an?
Yu Mengli got the hint and her mind revolved around her father's words before she came here, telling her to obey Chu Chenyi. She bit her lower lip unconsciously, took a deep breath and took a step forward.
At this time, the topic in the hall was also directed to the time when the envoys showed their sincerity.
Yu Mengli walked past the envoy from Southern Xinjiang and stepped forward, crossing her hands in front of her chest and bowing her head slightly to show respect.
"I, the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang, Mengli, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is kind and willing to care about the people of the world, which is a blessing for all people.
We are here to seek peace and to show our sincerity. We are following the order of our father and are seeking marriage with Zhou Yuan to show Southern Xinjiang's desire for peace."
Noticing that Meng Jiao's expression had finally changed, Chu Chenyi stepped forward and knelt respectfully, indicating that the Xiling Kingdom did the same.
Everyone was surprised after hearing this, everyone knew that Xiling had no princess, so the so-called marriage of the Xiling prince was just condescending to rely on a woman?
But how could the Zhou Yuan royal family have a princess of the right age? The oldest was only a little over ten years old...
Everyone saw that the emperor agreed and even arranged Chu Chenyi to sit next to Meng Jiao,
After the wine went down her throat, Meng Jiao, who heard that the woman from southern Xinjiang was going to dance, finally turned her eyes away from the wine cup.
A side glance, just right to meet someone's eyes,
"General Qin, long time no see."
Meng Jiao frowned, bent one leg and leaned back, raised her hand to cover her lips and nudged Nan Xiao who was pretending to add more wine.
"Who is this?"
Nan Xiao was stunned as she poured more wine. When the boss came, he only asked her to accompany him, but he didn't say that he had to remember her face.
Apart from her own people, she only remembers what the elbow looks like. Who else remembers where it came from...
"I don't know~"
Chu Chenyi's face turned black. The distance between their seats was less than three feet, and he was not deaf!
Sitting diagonally opposite, Zishu Hexuan glimpsed Meng Jiao's smiling face, who did not avoid the man, and looked thoughtful. His jade-like fingers tightly grasped the teacup, tightening it continuously.
At this time, Yu Mengli, who was standing in the audience, had already walked slowly to the center of the hall after the eunuch shouted loudly.
She was wearing a moon-white gauze that fell to the ground, her waist was slender enough to be held in one hand, and she was adorned with silver necklaces and gems, which rustled every time she walked.
As the music started, Yu Mengli spun around and danced. Her waist was slender and soft as if it had no bones. People couldn't help but worry that she would break it every time she twisted her waist.
Unexpectedly, not only did she not do that, she even danced faster and faster.
It is like a frost flower that is enduring the ravages of the strong wind. It is about to be crushed into mud in the next moment, but it still stubbornly accuses the injustice of fate...
When everyone's attention was focused on the dance,
"boom"
The jade teacup shattered quietly under the sound of ritual music. The Queen Mother, who was sitting on the throne, was close by. She frowned slightly when she heard the sound and whispered to him, "What happened?"
When Zishu Hexuan noticed that the person opposite him was also looking at him, he let out a sigh of relief.
He gently picked up the broken jade that was stuck between his fingertips, and when their eyes briefly met, he opened his lips and replied, "Nothing."
At the same time, the emperor noticed Meng Jiao's reaction and thought that it was Chu Chenyi who had arranged for her to stimulate him.
After all, what he wanted more than anything else was to take back the military power after Meng Jiao obediently went to Zhongshu to reduce the power of the vassal states.
After so many years, regaining control of the military power has become his obsession.
So when Yu Mengli finished dancing, Zishu Zhuojun first raised his cup with his subordinates, and then directly mentioned Mengjiao's name.
"The saint is graceful and elegant, and is truly a role model for women. I remember that the Prince of Chang'an has already passed the age of marriage and entered his twenties.
Do you feel any emotion when you see this magnificent scene? "
