After the high priest got the letter from the eldest princess, he did not stay at the banquet on the pretext of checking it. King Sangnan said, "The eldest princess left Beining because of the internal fighting in Sangnan. She was still young and did not leave much writing. , The high priest is serious about his work and needs to check the handwriting and letters in detail, King Yan, please understand."

"It doesn't matter!" Xie Jue didn't care. His mind was still on the letter left by the Marquis. His love for his children was ready to come out. Although his father was loyal to the emperor, he also loved his sons. The reason why they didn't want him to return to Ningzhou for help was because Emperor Jianming didn't have any tricks to cook a rabbit to death. The Zhenbei Hou Mansion was naturally willing to maintain each other's face. But if Yu Wenchao really failed them, his father also hoped Hope that his sons can escape and live peacefully, even if they come to Sangnan.

"The Marquis and I have written frequently, and the Yuwen Dynasty has repeatedly blocked the supplies. We, Sang Nan, are the ones behind the plan. The Sangnan royal family has always had a close relationship with the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. I believe His Highness King Yan is also aware of it. Back then, the Marquis gave half of the His property was transferred to Sangnan because he was afraid that one day his descendants would not be able to live in Sangnan. Although these properties belonged to the Su family business, Gu knew that the owner behind them was the Marquis of Zhenbei. Over the years, Gu and his son had never After coveting this property and waiting for it to be returned to its original owner, we sent troops to attack the twelve states. It was indeed a mistake. Of course, it was because we were too ambitious and wanted the fertile territory in the south of the Yangtze River. We solemnly paid tribute to the soldiers who died on the battlefield. They apologize."

"If they apologize, can they survive? Countless soldiers died in the Sangnan Poison Formation. There were also many soldiers whose bodies were damaged by the Poison Formation. They never left their hands with the soup and medicine and needed to rest in bed. Life was worse than death. Not only were the tortured It’s me, including my family. Can your gentle apology save everything?” Fang Chuning did not accept King Sang Nan’s misfortune. “Of course, you can say it is compensation. How much compensation should you pay to be worth their lifetime of pain?” Torture?”

There was silence.

King Sangnan's face turned red and he was extremely embarrassed. Han Ziqi said, "You can't look back on the past. Big mistakes have been made. We can only try our best to make up for it. General Fang, this is the meaning of peace talks."

Xie Jue nodded and agreed with Han Ziqi's words, "Yes, this is the reason why I came to Sangnan. It is not to dwell on my life experience, nor to take away someone's throne. I am here for the heroes who died in vain on the battlefield. Sang King Nan, do you want to take the wind and wash away the dust tonight, or do you want to get straight to the point?"

"No rush, no hurry. King Yan is already in Sangnan, and there is no rush. Tonight, the royal family of Sangnan will take care of the mission. We will not return until we get drunk. We will discuss the peace talks tomorrow. How about that?"

"Okay!" Xie Jue was also very cheerful and did not embarrass him. Fang Chuning lowered his voice and said, "This King Sangnan does not sincerely want to talk, but he is very good at betraying him."

"I know!" Xie Jue also saw through King Sang Nan's plan and said that he could give up the throne of Sang Nan.

In the middle of the banquet, King Sangnan said that in order to welcome the envoys, he had specially prepared songs and dances for them.

It is common to have singing and dancing at banquets. Literati and elegant guests all love to appreciate the singing and dancing of Jiangnan, which is charming, enchanting and full of entertainment. The orchestra's main tunes are pipa and harp, and occasionally there is a flute ensemble. The melody is soft and lingering. More than a dozen dancers wearing gold veils come slowly. Their bare feet are wrapped in red silk, and their waists are ringed with gold. The water-red dance clothes make the dancers' skin as white as snow, making them ethereal.

The dance is the most famous drunken fairy dance in Jiangnan. The dance postures are ever-changing and flexible. Although the dancers are covered with veils, they are as charming as silk, especially the girl who leads the dance. The golden veil cannot cover her stunning appearance. The flowers are as bright as peaches and plums.

Most of the envoys were young men with strong blood. They were all men who had been fighting for many years. They couldn't hide their true natures. They were all absorbed in enjoying the singing and dancing. Only Fang Chuning was drinking wine with a look as cold as ice.

Xie Jue glanced at him and asked jokingly, "How does this compare with the singing and dancing in Chunfeng Tower?"

"The songs and dances specially dedicated to His Highness King Yan are not comparable to Chunfeng Tower." Fang Chuning's tone can even be said to be yin and yang, Xie Jue suppressed the smile in his heart, "This is dedicated to the mission, not to Yan The king’s.”

"Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart." Fang Chuning snorted coldly, "This prince has no knowledge at all. He has clearly seen through the relationship between you and me, and he arranged such a song and dance without fear of offending me." "I will always offend you." Than offend King Sangnan." Xie Jue's tone was calm. The girl leading the dance was the tenth princess of King Sangnan. She was sixteen years old and unmarried. She had a beautiful face and was the most beautiful girl in Sangnan.

Peony City produces beauties, and these ten princesses are even more famous, and are praised by everyone in Peony City for their beauty.

In Beining, the rules for clan girls are very strict. It is a great shame and humiliation to dance in public. That is something that only singers and dancers can do. However, there are no such rules in Sangnan. But no matter how there are no rules, the purpose of the princess's dance must be impure. How can a princess dance for the men of the envoy at a banquet? It is simply an insult to the princess.

Although Sangnan and Beining were once the same family, the status of women in Sangnan was far inferior to that in Beining.

In Beining and Kyoto, the status of clan wives and girls is very high, and they are not inferior to the men in the family. However, it is different in Sangnan. Women respect their husbands and their sons, so they are raised in a boudoir and are not familiar with worldly affairs. Nor can he resist the orders of his father and brother. This is a purely male-dominated Sangnan.

At that time, the only direct bloodline left was the eldest princess. The ministers in the court and the central government rebelled because they were unwilling to submit to the queen's rule. The eldest princess also knew what her future would be in Sangnanmei, so she fled to Beining.

The singing and dancing were accompanied by the sound of golden bells, lingering and soft. After the singing and dancing, King Sangnan was very happy and gave generous rewards. The ten princesses took off their veils, revealing a face that would captivate the country.

Many men present were astonished, and even several young soldiers in the mission were amazed by the beauty of the tenth princess.

The tenth princess smiled and saluted King Sangnan. King Sangnan was also very satisfied with his daughter's performance and gave her a seat. The seat was next to Xie Jue. She is graceful and graceful, just like the Jiangnan woman who walked out of the book, with a weak willow supporting the wind and a face like a peach and plum.

"Ling'er has met my cousin, and my cousin is blessed." The tenth princess bowed to Xie Jue delicately.

Xie Jue said calmly, "Princess, please don't marry me. My identity is still in doubt. I am not your cousin!"

The tenth princess was startled. She had lived in Sangnan since she was a child and had never left the palace. In her opinion, Sangnan was the one in the world and the royal family was the most noble existence. How could anyone deny the identity of the royal family?

"Father said you are, you are!" The tenth princess responded quickly and was not frightened by Xie Jue's momentum.

Xie Jue said indifferently, "I have the final say who I am!"
