Chapter 273 Who do you want to seduce at the party?
After moving into the courtyard, the envoys from the North Wing discovered that the post station not only lacked rooms, but also food.
The courtyard was small and shabby, and there was not even any food. When they went to ask for food, the post station official cried poor: "We are in a hard time in the Yuan Dynasty. We have the Qiao family, a traitorous family, and Gao Yi, a traitorous official who colluded with the enemy country. They sent all the money of our Yuan Dynasty to the enemy country, and they also stole the grain. We really have no silver or grain in the Yuan Dynasty now. The people are living in misery, and there is often a shortage of grain in the post station. Alas! It's not that I don't want to give food to the guests, but I really can't give it!"
The Northern Wing delegation was so angry when they heard this that their teeth were about to break.
If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Why are you crying about being poor?
The third princess asked everyone to continue to be patient and eat dry food tonight.
"Third sister!" The second prince came to the third princess after having a good meal and a good drink, his face full of anger: "How long do we have to endure this?"
The Third Princess looked up at the Second Prince and said, "Second Brother, you are too squeamish. Only those who endure hardships can become superior people. The reason why Emperor Yuanwu allowed his subordinates to treat us like this is only because of the Gao and Qiao families and the Yimen incident. No matter how angry he is, he will not kill us. As long as we are alive, we can continue with our next plan."
"Third sister, I know you are very capable, but can you really make Xiao Jingxuan fall at your feet?" The second prince was a little panicked. He always felt that coming to the Yuan Dynasty this time was the most wrong decision he had ever made in his life.
The third princess was very calm: "If you can't take him down, find someone else to control him."
"Replace who?"
"You'll know then."
As the brother and sister were talking, someone from the post station came to report: "The emperor has invited the Northern Wing delegation to the palace for a banquet immediately."
The second prince was stunned: "It's so late, let us enter the palace?"
He thought that Emperor Yuanwu would not meet them tonight, but he never expected that he would send someone to inform them to enter the palace late at night.
"We are not prepared!" The second prince was a little annoyed.
The third princess stood up calmly and said, "Just bring the tribute and change your clothes."
......
The banquet was held in Weiyang Palace.
Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan got off the carriage and headed towards Weiyang Palace.
When they arrived, they saw that everyone was there, except for the two of them who were the last to arrive.
When the two raised their eyes, they saw the Northern Wing delegation. The third princess and the second prince were dressed very eye-catchingly. The clothes they wore were the unique style of the Northern Wing Kingdom. The third princess had a wide open chest, and her snow-white and charming face attracted the attention of the men present.
The second prince was no less handsome. His exposed chest muscles made the women present blush and too embarrassed to even take a second look at him.
This brother and sister, the boy is handsome and the girl is beautiful, and they dress boldly, which is simply...immoral!
Ye Tang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look at the third princess twice more.
What a great figure, with a curvy figure and a slender waist. She is so envious!
She was admiring the Third Princess's good figure when she suddenly saw the Third Princess looking at her. Her eyes just glanced over her lightly, then passed over her and fell on Xiao Jingxuan.
The third princess smiled at Xiao Jingxuan: "Is this the son of the Yuan Dynasty's God of War? I have heard of your great name for a long time. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary."
Jamel Xiao frowned, "Who are you? You are dressed so promiscuously in public. Who do you want to seduce at the banquet?"
The third princess' smile froze.
Emperor Yuanwu coughed lightly and said, "Jingxuan, don't be rude. She is the third princess of the North Wing."
Jamel Xiao frowned even deeper: "Princess? A princess is dressed like... Never mind, this is too harsh to hear, I'd better not say it."
As he spoke, he turned to Ye Tang and said very gently: "My dear, let's take our seats!"
The two of them walked into the table, and Princess Mingzhu waved to Ye Tang vigorously: "Cousin, sit here with me, come quickly!"
Before Ye Tang could say anything, Jamel Xiao's face darkened. He grabbed Ye Tang's hand and protected him behind him. He glared at Princess Mingzhu and said, "Don't even think about snatching my wife away. Get out of the way."
He pulled Ye Tang to sit on the emperor's right hand side. This seat was specially reserved for them. Next to them were the prince, the princess, and the prince's two children.
Princess Mingzhu's cheeks puffed up with anger.
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan and Ye Tang behaving so intimately, the third princess' eyes dimmed slightly.
The second prince whispered, "Third sister, this Xiao Jingxuan is unruly and a bit childish. He is not suitable for you."
The third princess felt the same way, but as the princess of the North Wing, she wanted more than just Xiao Jingxuan.
As long as Xiao Jingxuan is Nangong Yan's son, she must get him.
She just couldn't believe that with her talent and beauty, she couldn't win over Xiao Jingxuan, a mere farmer in the mountains.
Here, after Ye Tang and the other person sat down, they looked towards Shangguan Zhenhua. Ye Peng was sitting next to Shangguan Zhenhua, but Ye Pingan was not there.
Ye Tang looked around and found Ye Ping'an sitting with several young men. Those people were all children of officials who came to the palace with their fathers.
Ye Ping'an was talking and laughing with them and seemed to be on good terms with them. When he saw Ye Tang looking at him, Ye Ping'an waved at her happily.
Ye Tang smiled dotingly.
My younger brother seems to have grown up a lot.
At the beginning of the banquet, the envoys from the Northern Wing brought in the annual tribute, which was counted on the spot, as was the request of Emperor Yuanwu.
This made everyone in the North Wing feel very humiliated.
A civil official from the North Wing took the annual tribute list and read it out word for word.
The annual tribute from Beiyi was priceless, and Emperor Yuanwu was not dissatisfied. He had the tribute moved to the national treasury.
Lei Zhenhao suddenly spoke at this time: "Your Majesty, I already know about the Gao and Qiao families. Everyone in the capital says that the Gao and Qiao families are colluding with Beiyi. I do not admit this. Beiyi has never colluded with the Yuan Dynasty. Beiyi came to the Yuan Dynasty with full sincerity and only wanted to make friends with the Yuan Dynasty. Those unfounded charges must have been framed by others. Who is this person? After I go back, I will report to our emperor and investigate the matter strictly."
Emperor Yuanwu chuckled and said, "General Lei, are you crying out for injustice? Fine, I will assume that you, the Northern Wing, have been wronged. Do you have anything else to say?"
Lei Zhenhao clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. To be honest, Northern Wing has always wanted to improve relations with the Yuan Dynasty. Taking advantage of the opportunity to send annual tribute, my emperor ordered this general to bring the second prince and the third princess to your country in order to form an alliance with your country."
Ye Tang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and glanced at Jamel Xiao: "If you really come here with a purpose, who do you think will be targeted by these two unlucky guys from the North Wing?"
Jamel Xiao was very confident: “It can’t be me.”
"Marriage?" Emperor Yuanwu became interested and looked at the Third Princess and the Second Prince: "Who do you two want to marry?"
The second prince swept his infatuated eyes across Princess Mingzhu's face and said shamelessly, "This prince wants to marry Princess Mingzhu."
pat!
The spicy strips in Princess Mingzhu's hand fell to the ground.
This was the snack her cousin gave her, and she and the eldest princess were the only ones eating it.
She was just eating some spicy noodles, why did the fire burn her body?
