My Princess Has Been Reborn

Lu Qipei asked Qi Yang to check the background of Rongguo boy, but he never expected to have the answer before the palace banquet started.

The name Xie Hongyi was very unfamiliar to Lu Qipei, and he would not associate it with it after hearing it, but it was not the case for Qi Yang.Her Royal Highness has lived two lifetimes, so she always knows more than Lu Qipei.

Hearing Lu Qipei say the boy's name and seeing the boy's clothes, Qi Yang almost immediately made a judgment: "He should be the son of the third princess of Rongguo, and his father is Xie Yuan, the prime minister of Rongguo."

Lu Qipei was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately thought of something: "The counselor who assisted Emperor Rongguo in founding the country?"

When Qi Yang heard her words, a trace of annoyance suddenly flashed across his eyes, thinking of Rongguo Xinjian now, he wondered if Xie Yuan had ascended to the position of prime minister?But fortunately, Lu Qipei didn't know about the news that even she didn't know, so he bit the bullet and nodded: "Well, Xie Yuan is originally from the Central Plains, and for some reason he was living in Rongdi. He was taken in by the tribe and appreciated by the leader. The two hit it off immediately. Today."

Speaking of this, seeing that Lu Qipei listened seriously, he continued: "Xie Yuan took his servants to live in Rongdi alone. More than ten years ago, the tribal leader betrothed his daughter to him in order to win him over. Now the upper-class nobles of Rongguo Among them, he is the only one with the surname Xie."

Not only was he the only one with the surname Xie, in fact most of the Central Plains people in Rongguo became captives and slaves, and if there were few merchants, they were regarded as high-status.Among the nobles, only Xie Yuan was from the Central Plains.

Speaking of Xie Yuan's life, it can be called a legend.From the embarrassment of living in a foreign country to the current Zaifu who has power in the government and the public, making him famous all over the world, it only took him more than ten years.And he didn't climb up to the position of prime minister by relying on court battles, but he personally assisted an emperor, and came here through blood and fire, and the Rongguo he built behind him was his meritorious service!

When Liang Guoren heard of his reputation, although they often accused him of defecting to the enemy and treason, how could they ever deny his ability and courage?

Qi Yang introduced this person with a few words, but after hearing this, Lu Qipei asked, "How much does Your Highness know about this Xie Yuan? For example, when did he go to the Northland, and how old is he now?"

Qi Yang is really not very clear about these things, even if Xie Yuan was famous in his previous life, but he is far away in Rongguo, how could Qi Yang have the heart to investigate him?He shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know much about it, I only heard that he is very young, and he is not yet forty."

Lu Qipei nodded after hearing this, and didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, the emperor finally came slowly, and everyone in the hall stood up to greet him.

Lu Qipei came back to his senses after being reminded by Qi Yang, and followed her to stand up.Inadvertently, he glanced past the person in front of him, and looked at the boy of the foreign race opposite him.Xie Hongyi seemed to be aware of it, and looked back. The two looked at each other for a moment, and he looked away in disdain.

This reaction made Lu Qipei startled, before he had time to think about it, the emperor had already stepped into the hall, so he could only bow down and salute.

After the emperor walked through the main hall and sat down at the head, he raised his hand and told everyone that he was excused, and then everyone sat down again.As soon as the palace banquet started, all the looseness before had subsided, and everyone in the hall sat upright, and the scene was solemn.

A palace banquet is indeed not a good place to talk about love, especially a palace banquet for receiving envoys from other countries.

Because of the previous letter of credence, the emperor was obviously very dissatisfied with Rong Guo's envoy.He didn't pay attention to it for a few days, and he didn't expect to see many people at the palace banquet today.With the emperor's attitude, even if the singing and dancing are complete, it is doomed that the atmosphere of this palace banquet will not be relaxed.

Sitting in the front row, the crown prince had a straight back, a serious face, and the majesty of a prince.But right behind him blocking the way, although the young couple did not dare to be as unscrupulously intimate as before the banquet started, a few whispers came from time to time, because it was difficult to get close this time, a few words fell into the ears of the prince... …

Qi Yang picked up his chopsticks and ordered a plate of mutton on the counter table, and said to Lu Qipei: "I'm tired of all the palace banquet dishes, but this broiled mutton dish is not bad, it tastes delicious and has no smell, ah Give you a taste."

Hearing this, the prince's eyes fell on the grilled mutton in front of him, and he became a little interested after being told by Qi Yang.

Lu Qipei who was behind him smiled when he heard the words, picked up the chopsticks and tasted it kindly, then said softly "delicious", then moved the roasted mutton in front of him to Qi Yang's table next to him with a natural expression.

Qi Yang was slightly startled, and immediately said: "You can keep it if it's delicious, why bring it to me?"

But Lu Qipei said: "The rest of the dishes are enough for me, but His Highness has no choice but to have this one, so I will give it to you naturally."

The young couple seemed to get sticky again as they talked, and the prince looked away from the roasted mutton - listening to the two people talking back and forth behind him, he suddenly became obsessed with all these dishes. Lost interest, even inexplicably feeling a little bit full?

Of course, support is an illusion, but the prince really doesn't want to listen to the young couple getting tired of it.He raised the wine cup and took a sip, then moved his eyes to the hall, and decided to focus on the silk and bamboo singing and dancing.

The musicians and dancers in the palace are all the best, the sound of silk and bamboo, and the singing and dancing are graceful, all of which are full of style.

The emperor didn't speak, and everyone in the hall didn't dare to whisper to each other, and most of their eyes fell on the singing and dancing.There is a preference for this way, and gradually became fascinated by it, until a rough male voice broke the peace in the hall: "I don't know how beautiful this soft song and dance is."

The one who spoke was of course the envoy of Rongguo, but he was not the official envoy, but a powerful and powerful man.He was holding a porcelain bowl in his hand, but the bowl was not food, but a full bowl of wine. He drank it up as soon as he spoke, then picked up the wine pot and shook it, quite dissatisfied: "You guys The people of Liang are too stingy, they only prepare this little wine for a banquet, and it will be gone after two bowls, it's really boring."

Many ministers in the palace looked unhappy, but the Prince's expression was calm.He glanced at his father who was sitting at the top, and then told the palace servants: "Go and get some jars of wine, and each envoy should prepare two jars."

The palace man retreated, and quickly brought the wine again. The wine jar was bigger than the bucket, and two jars of wine barrel were enough to drink.

The big man who made trouble earlier curled his lips, picked up a jar of Kaifeng clay and drank it with his head up.At first glance, it looks like he has gone to a street restaurant, without the dignity that a palace banquet should have.

The ministers of Liang Guo became more and more dissatisfied, and Lu Qipei heard many people muttering "barbarians are rude".

The envoy of Rongguo didn't stop him. Seeing the big man jump out of the seat after drinking, he waved at the dancers and said, "Let's go, let's go, what's so good about this soft song and dance? Why don't you let me perform it for everyone to see?" look."

The conditions in the north are difficult, the Rong and Di traditionally favor martial arts, and these singing and dancing are rarely seen at banquets, but Jiaodai is quite popular.

It is also the corner that the big man greets his companions to perform.If it is in Rongguo, this is not considered rude, on the contrary, it is to add color to the host's banquet, and it is an expression of closeness and friendliness.However, the relationship between the two countries is not harmonious. The appearance of the big man is obviously not just to add luster to the banquet. From his expression, what everyone sees is more obvious provocation.

There was a young and vigorous person who was almost so angry when he saw such a scene.

But the emperor never said a word, Rong Guozheng saw that the trouble was almost over, and called the big man back.Then he stood up and bowed to the superior emperor: "Your Majesty, don't blame me. I, Rong Guoerlang, are used to being wanton, and I can't stand the deserted banquet, so this is just adding to the fun."

This is an accusation in disguise.The emperor raised his eyelids and looked at him: "The guest can do whatever he wants, but the envoy doesn't understand?"

Zhengshi smiled and didn't bother about this matter, or he just wanted to get the emperor to speak: "Forgive me, Your Majesty, it's us rough people who don't know how to sing and dance. But singing and dancing, it doesn't matter. It's just a few days passed , His Majesty has not seen us, nor has he responded to the letter of credence, and we do not know when we will see Shengyan again after today's banquet... Sorry for the offense, His Majesty is still waiting for me to go back."

This is to ask for an explanation on the terms of the letter of credence, but it seems aggressive to say this at the palace banquet——Lu Qipei looked at Zhengshi opposite him, his face was sincere, but she looked at him. Less than the sincerity of alliance peace talks.

Not only Lu Qipei, everyone in the hall more or less felt the disobedience.But if it wasn't for the peace talks, what was the reason for these envoys to come here?In a hurry, come to Liang Guo to eat and drink? !

Many people were muttering in their hearts, including the emperor, who couldn't understand this routine.

But no matter what the other party's calculations were, the losses visible to the naked eye were unacceptable. Of course, the emperor could not agree to those ridiculous alliance conditions.He looked at the envoy of Rongguo with majestic eyes: "The envoy thought I would agree to such a letter of credence?"

Even though he was silent, he still smiled, as if he was noncommittal to the emperor's words.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and finally the crown prince broke the deadlock: "The envoy should understand that it is impossible for me, Liang, to agree to such a condition. Besides, you came here on your own initiative. Since you want peace talks, you might as well come up with some Come with sincerity."

Just as Wen Yan was about to speak, the hem of the robe was pulled.He looked down, and met the young boy's stubborn face, and his dark eyes were staring at him for a moment.Just as he was helpless, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his mouth and said: "Rongguo has just been established, and we still need to recuperate. We have come here with sincerity. It's just that everyone in the country is dissatisfied with Liang Guo. He also refused to back down."

Although this was said in a blunt manner, it was at least on point, and everyone couldn't help but be a little more solemn.

Then I heard the envoy continue: "As an envoy, it is difficult for me to come here with such a letter of credence. How about this, if His Majesty allows it, the two countries might as well compete a few times, if Liang Guo is better, we will wait for ourselves There is nothing to say."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, most of which were reprimanding the barbarians for being overconfident.

Taking advantage of the excitement, Qi Yang leaned into Lu Qipei's ear again, and asked, "A Pei thinks, what are these people from Rongguo planning?"

Lu Qipei felt a gust of hot air on her ears, causing her to shrink back unconsciously, and then replied: "I don't know. But what about competitions, I just think these people from Rongguo are child's play."

After speaking, she felt a gaze cast on her. She followed the trace and met the provocative gaze of the young man of the foreign race.
