Chapter 404: Madam's Escape Almost Cost Me My Life 1
At that time, the empty wine jugs on Mengjiao's desk filled up half the table.
Faced with the emperor's hint, she stood up unsteadily, clasped her fists with a wooden face, but her voice was very loud.
"Your Majesty, I am not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting!"
He responded so calmly, and in the eyes of others, his tone even carried a hint of pride.
The tense atmosphere in the hall seemed to be dispelled by her shout.
Some ministers and their families were drunk and couldn't help but gather together and whisper to each other when they saw her like this. When they looked up at Meng Jiao who was sitting upstairs, there was inevitably a bit of contempt in their eyes.
The emperor at the top of the table half-closed his eyes, looking at the shaking Meng Jiao with disdain.
"My dear minister, you are joking. You are the Prince of Chang'an appointed by me personally. It's just that you lack the tenderness of a girl. What's the problem?
When the peace talks are over, he will retire and return to the countryside. As a woman, I will inevitably have to worry about my future life."
The scene fell silent again. The meaning of the emperor's words was self-evident. Not only did he mock Meng Jiao for not behaving like a woman, he also used her marriage as an excuse.
Meng Jiao was not at all upset about this. She had no expectations in the first place, so how could she be disappointed?
"Wei Chen dare not."
Don’t dare? Don’t dare what?
Not only the emperor was puzzled, but even the empress dowager and Chu Chenyi who were watching from the sidelines could not help but cast their eyes on her.
Thinking so, the emperor asked the same question, but he had lost some patience and his tone was filled with obvious impatience.
Taking the wine from the palace maid again, Meng Jiao drank half of it again despite Nan Xiao's "obstruction" behind her.
Finally, before the emperor's patience ran out, she stretched out her hand and gestured to the air.
"I dare not think about it. How can a man withstand this palm from me?"
Everyone laughed when they heard her voice, and seeing that she even shook her head in self-approval, they just thought that she was drunk and started talking nonsense.
The emperor also remained silent, but he hoped that she would make a fool of herself in public. Now her prestige as the King of Chang'an was unmatched among the people.
So, under the countless pairs of eyes watching the show, Meng Jiao looked at her hands with dark eyes, and said in a calm tone,
"In the 49th year of the Zhou Yuan Dynasty, the battle of Guyi Mountain took place on the border. I was only eight years old when I began to remember events.
I only remember that I shot an arrow and it just happened to pierce the heads of the two barbarians!
The following spring, when the grassland was being threshed, tens of thousands of men in Xicheng were taken captive, and all the women and children were killed. My elder brother died on the spot while trying to save the people.
I have no time to worry about the funeral. Although I am still young, I still have strength.
I am here, busy working as an ironsmith!
The ding-ding-bang-bang sound is indeed not as nice as the sound of a piano...
Zhou Yuan...
The area where the Huainan and Xianghe rivers meet should have been a rich land of fish and rice, but it was occupied by the enemy and used as a training ground.
I could not sleep at night, and worked day and night until I finally dug up the lush grasslands when the thaw came next year.
Buried inch by inch are the remains of the people of Zhou Yuan.
I can't quite remember how old I was at that time. I was only about two years away from coming of age.
Zhou Yuan...”
Meng Jiao continued, but as she spoke word by word, the crowd, who had initially been whispering and watching the show, fell silent.
Although there are still a small number of people who disagree and think she is exaggerating,
Just because they were born in the capital and did not witness the suffering of war with their own eyes, they do not realize how hard peace is to come by.
But in the end, most people still witnessed the process of Zhou Yuan gradually moving from a small war-torn country to being free from aggression.
Listening to Meng Jiao's words again at this time, they felt that every word she said was like a heavy hammer, hammering those who always claimed that women should be gentle and kind, making them feel ashamed.
After just a few words, most of the people in the audience started to look at him with gleaming eyes.
The emperor looked unhappy. Not only did he not see the joke on her, he even felt embarrassed.
After all, what Meng Jiao said was true. As the king of a country, why would he speak out to stop her?
But at the same time, he couldn't allow Meng Jiao to continue inciting her, because although each and every incident was not elaborated on, it was directed directly at the two countries that were negotiating peace today.
If we allow her to continue, today's peace talks may end up being a joke...
Seeing this, Chu Chenyi stood up immediately, raised his glass and interrupted Meng Jiao rudely.
"Queen Chang'an is indeed worthy of being the number one female general in Zhou Yuan. She has an extraordinary demeanor. As a sign of respect, Chen Yi would like to toast you a glass."
Meng Jiao turned around, leaned on the table and moved closer to him, narrowing her eyes and looking him up and down.
Chu Chenyi held the wine glass but didn't show it on his face. In fact, he was frightened inside and kept swallowing his saliva.
Anyone who meets these sharp eyes that have experienced many battles would probably feel a chill down his spine like him.
Although he didn't know what she was going to do, Zishu Hexuan, who had witnessed everything and was already extremely distressed, instantly had a frosty face.
The hands under his sleeves clenched into fists, and he could no longer hold back and gave orders to Qi Cheng behind him.
Then a voice suddenly came from the crowd above.
"General Qin, please don't stop. What else is there?"
The Queen Mother was surprised when she heard this, and she could not help but lock her eyes on Zishu Hexuan who was drinking tea beside her.
Xiaojiu is only ten years old now. Without his consent, how could we dare to urge him to speak in such an occasion?
Zishu Hexuan did not return the Queen Mother's gaze. After all, he had been prepared to make his position clear long ago, so how could he not do it now when his heart seemed to be crushed and reassembled?
Meng Jiao's thoughts were interrupted by this voice, but just as she was about to speak again, she was stopped by the worried Chu Chenyi.
"General, are you drunk? The palace banquet is already halfway through, why don't we talk about the peace talks between the two countries? I, Xiling, came here with full sincerity this time."
Under Chu Chenyi's expectant gaze, Meng Jiao tilted her head and finally ended the previous topic.
It wasn't because she was really drunk and her train of thought was interrupted, but because she felt that she had raised her hand long enough...
"Negotiation? Xiling really doesn't want to fight anymore?"
When she said this, could it be that she had noticed something? But no matter what, Chu Chenyi had to bite the bullet and continue talking.
"Of course, I won't fight anymore."
Seeing that they were finally back to the main topic, the emperor was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he did not expect that Meng Jiao, who had been drunk and talking nonsense since the beginning until now, suddenly slammed her palm towards the banquet table in front of Chu Chenyi.
The emperor was frightened by her and could not help but scold her.
"presumptuous!"
However, although this shout was mixed with a bit of majesty, it failed to wake up the "drunk" Meng Jiao.
Everyone saw Meng Jiao's raised hand suddenly move down and press Chu Chenyi's panicked face, and then smash the banquet table next to it, causing it to crack into pieces.
The pupils of everyone present, even the few who had just lowered their heads out of boredom, could not help but dilate.
You know, even though the treasury was empty, the emperor used the finest solid red sandalwood for this palace banquet.
But even with such a strong material, it couldn't hold for even a moment under Meng Jiao's palm.
The wine and snacks were scattered all over the floor. Meng Jiao stepped on the broken porcelain and approached the nearly unconscious man.
"No wonder you said you haven't seen me for a long time. I was really drunk and my memory is getting worse.
Eight years ago, your eldest brother personally led his troops to plunder Yanmenling. It happened that Zhou Yuan encountered a blizzard that had not been seen in decades, and three cities were destroyed in succession.
I remember clearly that in July of the following year, when the weather was hot, the city was freezing cold, and the ground was full of starving people.
After we recaptured the city, we learned that your country had given the people of Zhou Yuan the name "vegetable people".
This battle of turning the tide has lasted for decades, including the entire Qin family and me.
And now you just calmly say nothing?
late! "
