I am His Majesty's favorite

Lin Heng still went wearing his favorite apricot-colored gown.

However, although the color of the clothes is light, in addition to the embroidered osmanthus flowers outlined in silver threads, the lapels and sleeves are also embellished with gemstones with golden thread and blue eyes.

Therefore, the whole person does not look as lonely and indifferent as usual, but with sporadic tranquility and ease.

This made all the courtiers, who were used to seeing the majesty of the monarch, secretly astonished.

Lian Xizhuo stood at the forefront of the civil servants, and was slightly taken aback when he saw his nephew's clothes.Then she raised her eyebrows and winked at him, indicating that she did a good job.

Lin Heng remained calm on the face, but in fact he paused when his eyes fell on the seat on the right.

——Mu Chen actually came.

His Highness the Crown Prince's appearance was already outstanding, but with the black long satin lining, his facial features were particularly eye-catching, cool and relaxed.

Looking at it, Lin Heng's heart suddenly seemed to be fiddled with by something.

Shouldn't it be just a coincidence?

He and Mu Chen...both wore each other's favorite colors.

Lin Heng accepted the courtiers' worship as usual, and when he was about to talk to others after taking the seat, he heard the servant eunuch say, "Your Majesty, the Monarch Xichuan is already waiting outside Tangli Palace."

In front of everyone, the emperor had no choice but to give up chatting for the time being and deal with serious business first.

"Xuan."

The servant sang the newspaper loudly, and soon the monarch of Xichuan entered the main hall with several entourages.

"The minister Ha Ke Saqing brought pearls, jade and pearls, a fine horse and a BMW, and congratulate your majesty for a long life." The king of Xichuan raised his hands and bowed his body with their royal etiquette, showing respect to Lin Heng.

Since ancient times, the two countries have had good relations and have sent envoys to communicate with each other. Very few monarchs have personally sent envoys.

Especially for Xichuan, Nanchang is a victorious country, and to appease such a militant tribe, there should be extra preferential treatment.

"You don't need to be too polite, Ha Keqing just sit at the table." Lin Heng nodded, and the palace servants immediately greeted him, leading Ha Kesaqing to sit on the prepared seat.

As a monarch, even if he came to Nanchong to pay tribute, his status was much higher than that of ordinary envoys, so Dong Zi'an arranged for him to be on the left side of Lin Heng.

Then it is unavoidable to have a face-to-face meeting with the opposite Mu Chen.

Hake Saqing is the new monarch of Xichuan, only 24 years old.

Probably due to living in the windy and sandy land all year round, his face is extremely deep and three-dimensional, as if carved with a knife and an axe.

There is also a strong look of prey in the eyebrows and eyes, and there is a sense of oppression for no reason after looking at him for a long time.

........... to ordinary people.

Mu Zhen only glanced at him briefly when he entered the hall, and for the rest of the time he was either staring at the wine glass in a daze, or sneaking glances at the bad-headed Emperor.

He was not willing to give half of it to the rest.

Ha Ke Saqing didn't know exactly how Mu Chen was living in Nandun Palace.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to find a sense of superiority in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. After all, they were both defeated countries. Lin Heng tolerated Xichuan in every possible way, but he did not hesitate to humiliate Huaibei.

How can such a person who has been reduced to a male favorite, deserve to sit at the same level as him?

Unexpectedly, he looked over mockingly, and instead of being ashamed, the latter fiddled with the bowl and spoon more calmly, completely ignoring him.

During the period, His Majesty the Emperor lowered his voice and said softly: "The Ministry of Rites has prepared a lot of fashionable fruits. You can try which one suits your taste. I will send more to Chiqing Palace later."

Ha Ke Saqing: The clown is actually me?

How can you say that the current monarch of Xichuan is smarter than the previous one?

Seeing the way the two got along with his own eyes, he immediately understood that things might not be as simple as he thought.

He didn't dare to find Mu Chen's displeasure any more, but sat upright and said: "I have carefully prepared a song and dance for Your Majesty, please watch it with Your Majesty and other ministers."

After all, when Lin Heng agreed, he patted his palms and dozens of men and women stepped in one after another.

Those women are graceful in figure, unique in costume, and veiled on their faces.

He couldn't see his appearance clearly, but his exposed eyes flickered with water, stopping and moving, which was very seductive.

A man with a strong physique beats a waist drum, half-opens his chest, and sings a nomadic love song in a high-pitched chorus.

Really exotic.

All ministers above the third rank in the court were ordered to attend this banquet, Ji Huaichen was the general of the central government, so the row he was sitting in was naturally all military officers.

The military officer who is good at wielding knives and guns is not very interested in beauties. He chats in twos and threes in low voices, and the content is nothing more than discussing which horse has the best overall quality, or agreeing where to go to learn martial arts in his free time.

On the other hand, among civil servants, appreciation belongs to appreciation, and most of them are restrained and reserved.

Shan Lian, a senior scholar, stared straight at the slender waists of the girls, and didn't even care about spilling most of the wine in his hand.

Lin Heng did not know how many programs like this he had watched, and because of his manners, he had no choice but to put on a posture of sitting upright, but his hands had already reached the table of His Highness the Crown Prince restlessly.

Mu Zhen was originally watching the excitement seriously, but suddenly he noticed that his lower back was being slapped.

He looked sideways, and saw Lin Heng quietly handing over a pastry wrapped in honey.

"I don't want it." His Highness the Crown Prince kept his lips still, gouging out his eyes with half anger and half resentment. "The crown prince is already in ruins, so he deserves to be served by His Majesty himself?"

Lin Heng pursed his lips. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of all the courtiers watching the song and dance. Fang moved his waist closer and said, "Just take a bite, it's delicious."

The tone was indescribable, like coaxing a child.

Mu Lin's cheeks couldn't help getting slightly hot, he opened his mouth lazily, and proudly tapped the silver plate with his long chopsticks.

Lin Heng couldn't help but smile at this behavior, and he didn't forget to take the plum wine in front of him while putting the pastries. "Drink less of this one, it has great stamina, and it will hurt your head when you go out and be blown by the wind."

Although I don't know what method the little uncle used to invite people here, but since Mu Chen is willing to come, Lin Heng is already very happy.

So His Royal Highness the Prince's wine was taken away and threw the pastry back angrily. He could only sigh inwardly, and the smile in his eyes became clearer immediately.

The singing and dancing stopped in the middle, Ha Ke Saqing stood up and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, singing, dancing and vocal music are not the most distinctive performances in Xichuan. For this tribute, I have another priceless treasure to present, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it."

After talking, not only the civil and military officials present, but even Lin Heng all got a straight expression.

The tributes Xichuan sent this time are already precious, and I don't know what kind of rare treasures can be called priceless treasures.

If it is an exquisite and rare thing, it would be good for His Royal Highness to watch it.

Lin Heng thought to himself.

"I'm lonely."

Ha Ke Saqing smiled heartily, and shouted at the gate of Tangli Palace: "Princess Wen Ze, Your Majesty welcomes you."

Well, it turned out to be a princess.

Princess? !

Lin Heng subconsciously looked at the person on the right side of the table, Mu Chi was still pinching the wine cup with two fingers, sniffing the sweet fragrance of green plums inside.

They were all high-ranking people, and everyone present knew the intention of the subordinate country to bring a princess.

It's a pity that you are not joking, since His Majesty the Emperor agreed to Ha Kesaqing to present the treasure, there is absolutely no reason to reject it on the spot when he sees that it is a living person.

As a last resort, Lin Heng had no choice but to let someone show up first, and then find an opportunity later to refuse and finish the matter.

As soon as Princess Wen Ze stepped forward, the courtiers at the banquet burst into discussions one after another.

No wonder.

When mentioning the Western Regions, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the graceful waist and various styles.

But this princess's name sounds gentle and graceful, but she is heroic, graceful, and her gestures are capable and neat.

She doesn't look like the kind of girl who is charming and charming, but more like a female general.

"My daughter, Wen Ze, see Your Majesty. Wen Ze is not talented, and I would like to present a sword dance to congratulate you. I wish your majesty a healthy dragon body, and the country and people in the south."

Princess Wenze's voice was like pearls and jade. After she finished the salute, she took the soft sword from the attendant and began to dance.

The soldiers brought by the monarch of Xichuan played drums for fun, and used ventriloquism to imitate the galloping horses.

Someone blew the horn, killing the enemy on the battlefield, and the scene of Tage triumphantly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Princess Wenze has a soft body, showing her daughter's charming figure just right.The silver blade of the sword in his hand fluttered, and the ingenuity of both hardness and softness was mixed in it.

During the pause of the rotation, all the ministers in the audience couldn't help being dazed one after another.

Let's dance.

The rest of the soldiers left the field quickly, and Ha Kesaqing walked forward with a smile on his face: "I wonder if Your Majesty is satisfied with this priceless treasure?"

His tone was respectful, but anyone could tell that the Monarch Xichuan was clearly provoking His Majesty.

Who doesn't know that Xi Chuan tried to rebel half a year ago, and was sent to punish him not long ago, so he dared to perform such a play in public at this moment.

From the moment Lin Heng saw the princess, he knew what was going to happen, and the reason why he endured it until the end of the performance was all because Mu Chen was here today.

He didn't want to spoil His Royal Highness's appetite.

Ha Ke Saqing was still waiting for Lin Heng to express his position. He was sure that Nan Chen would cooperate with Xi Chuan in the fight against Huaibei.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor was really tricked, he couldn't be treated right away.

Lin Heng lingered on Princess Wen Ze's face for a moment, then turned his face to Mu Zhen who couldn't see the emotion and said helplessly: "Can't you just listen to me? I said that the aftertaste of drinking is strong. If you have a headache and feel uncomfortable, you have to drink bitterly." I won’t make candy for you then.”

That's called turning a blind eye.

Not only did Ha Ke Saqing, who was looking for faults, be ignored, but even the ministers of civil and military affairs under his seat were also ignored.

All the ministers: "......" We are not worthy.

Ha Ke Saqing: "???" These two people are so virtuous, they are also kings after all, do you think he is shameless?

Mu Chen clicked his tongue impatiently, showing an expression of 'speaking according to the occasion'.

"Your Majesty." Monarch Xichuan, who had suffered a cold reception, spoke again, this time with a slightly restrained expression.

"minister............"

"boom!"

As soon as he said the beginning, there was a sudden sound of slapping the table on the other side of the general's seat, followed by a figure.

"What is the meaning of the Lord Xichuan's actions?!"

General Ling Yuan glared and scolded, it seemed that he was really angry.

"My lord, you keep saying that you are here for the tribute, but you send people to perform such a play. Is it to show the bravery of the Xichuan army? Or is it a demonstration to His Majesty?"

"Your wolfish ambitions have been completely exposed. Xi Chuan was chased by Nan Chen's army and retreated hundreds of miles. Hasn't the monarch learned how to surrender to Nan Chen sincerely?"

well.

Lin Heng looked at the sudden change with cold eyes, and his previously coaxing thoughts also faded a bit.

Don't be afraid of those who don't get ahead, just be afraid, there are people who are too scheming and don't want to get ahead.
