I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 47 The Man’s Dowry

"Humph!"

Queen Mother Li snorted coldly and walked away.

As soon as she left, Xiang Chong seemed particularly embarrassed.

He, the former regent minister and the current Wupin Yilang, is really not qualified to stand beside the dragon chair on the imperial steps.

Fan Li pointed to the last corner of Chaoban.

"Xiang Yilang, go back to your place and stand."

Wupin Yilang is really a petty official.

Especially in the court hall of the imperial palace, it is not worth mentioning, so he barely stands in the last corner.

How could Xiang Chong be insulted like this?

He gritted his teeth and said: "My king... I am suffering from a cold due to the cold. I am going to take sick leave today and will not attend the court meeting!"

After saying that, Xiang Chong turned around and left.

I saw that his steps were steady and powerful, as if each foot could crush the floor, how could it be like an accidental wind and cold?
But no one will keep him.

Especially Xiang Ning, wishing that this cheap brother would never go to court.

The Queen Mother is gone.

Item washed away.

The Great Chu Chaotang seemed to have returned to its normal state as in the past.

Xiang Ning's eyes turned into crescent moons as he stared at Fan Li happily.

"He still protects me."

Xiang Ning was thinking about this when he heard Fan Li sigh.

"Assuming that there is no one in Chu, I wonder how many of them will be crowned emperors and how many will be crowned kings?"

Xiang Ning:? ? ?
Baiguan:? ? ?
Is it useless to scold Xiang Ning in front of all the officials?

Fan Li didn't feel that he had said something wrong, and he discussed court affairs in a serious manner.

"Your Majesty is about to marry Princess Changle, and the identity of the envoy sent by Emperor Han has been confirmed."

"Sikong Cao Cao is the main envoy, the left general Liu Bei and the hussar general Sun Quan are the left and right deputy envoys."

"When His Majesty gets married, these three people will represent the Han Dynasty and work with us to excavate the suspected tomb of Emperor Qin Mo."

Fan Li said, but shook his head in his heart.

Emperor Han Liu Xie really had no one to use, but Cao, Liu and Sun could only be appointed for important matters.

There must be no problem with the cultivation and intelligence of these three, but loyalty...

Of course, Fan Li would not look at Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan today with the stereotyped impression of his previous life.

But last time in Lucheng, Emperor Han was furious because three people went to see Emperor Jiajing, and he was bumped into by the three people who came back.

The emperor's suspicion is the most important trigger for the renunciation of the courtiers.

Fan Li was really worried that even if Cao Liusun was a loyal minister in this life, he might not be able to remain loyal to the end.

For the next few days, Fan Li went to court every day.

Xiang Chong never appeared again, as if he had disappeared.

The Great Chu court seems to have returned to its original state.

"Han envoys Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan paid homage to the Great Chu Emperor."

The three heroes of the late Han Dynasty finally arrived in Pengcheng and went to the Hajj.

Because of the marriage between Chu and Han, although the three of them were foreign ministers in terms of etiquette, Xiang Ning was also considered half of their monarchs, so the three bowed down and bowed.

Xiang Ning was in a good mood today. He was about to raise his hand to say goodbye, but saw the three people standing up turning to Fan Li.

"Meet Duke Jin."

The three of them actually took the initiative to kneel down to Fan Li.

Xiang Ning raised his right hand in mid-air, looking extremely embarrassed at the moment.

"Three adults are exempt from the courtesy." Fan Li asked: "I heard that the motorcade of the three adults was very large. When the carriage in the front row arrived outside the palace, the carriage in the last row had just entered the east gate of Pengcheng?"

Cao Cao replied with a smile: "This is the dowry prepared by my emperor for Princess Changle. Although there are many gifts, they are far inferior to the deep friendship between Chu and Han."

Fan Xin secretly laughed.

Deep friendship?

In the conflict between the Three Kingdoms, it was the Taizu of Chu and Han who fought fiercely.

If it weren't for the fact that Chu and Han were so jealous of each other, the weakest Ming Dynasty at that time would not have been able to take the opportunity to rise and found the country.

But of course Fan Li would not bring up things that were thousands of years old at this time.

Afterwards, the three Han envoys took the initiative to invite Fan Li to accept the dowry.

Outside the palace, there was a long queue of dowry vehicles, and the dowry gifts were unloaded one by one.

"East China Sea dragon beads, Baishan snow ginseng, jade silk brocade...one hundred boxes."

"Three-color deer antler, fire bear gallbladder, and various spiritual herbs and fruits, one hundred boxes."

Fan Li yawned and listened to a report from one of Cao Cao's subordinates. At the same time, someone kept opening the dowry box to check the authenticity of the gifts.

The marriage between Chu and Han was a big deal, how could the dowry go wrong?

But this process had to be completed, and Fan Li could only endure it because it meant showing off his wealth to some extent.

By this time, the court meeting had ended.

The emperor returned to the palace, and all the officials went down to court.

Fan Li was thinking about what to eat at home when he saw a ghostly figure approaching him from a distance.

"Damn it, what does she want to do!?"

The person who came was none other than Xiang Ning, who had changed into the attire of a palace maid.

This stupid bitch thought Fan Li didn't see through her disguise.

On a whim, she took off her dragon robe and changed into a palace attire, wanting to watch the fun with Fan Li! ?
Except for Fan Li, most of them were subordinates accompanying the Han envoys.

They saw such a palace maid walking around freely in the Dachu Palace. Although they felt that she was a little unruly, they would not stop her.

"Long time no see, Duke Jin. Do you still remember Ning'er?"

Wearing women's clothing, Xiang Ning seemed to be a different person.

He completely lost his self-esteem as an emperor, staring at the dowry piled up in his eyes.

Fan Li was a little speechless, thinking: You turned into ashes, I also know you.

He nodded, making Xiang Ning even happier.

After talking to Fan Li smoothly, she can appreciate Princess Changle's dowry with confidence.

"Wow! That neon dress is so beautiful, but it's a bit thin and see-through. If you just wear it like this, don't you want to be seen by others?" Xiang Ning whispered.

Fan Li said unhappily: "Anyway, Princess Changle is wearing it, why do you care so much?"

"Oh my god! Such a big dragon pearl from the East Sea, brighter than me... brighter than the palace lanterns in this palace, it can be used for lighting at night!"

Xiang Ning saw another huge dragon bead, which emitted a soft and warm white light. He wanted to go up and play with it immediately.

Fan Li shook his head after hearing this.

If this girl keeps talking, I'm afraid she will show her original shape.

The Great Chu Emperor is a woman, and then he wants to marry the Great Han Princess Changle?

This is a complete marriage fraud!

Once it is made public, Han Emperor Liu Xie is so impatient that he will immediately cut off diplomatic relations with Chu, and the two countries may even fight.

"Shut up, this is a place where you can talk casually? If you dare to say another word, I will slap you." Fan Li could only threaten.

Xiang Ning stomped his feet in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Who made her disguise so 'perfectly', now she is a powerless little court lady, if she is really beaten, she can only stand next to her.

After another half a day, the gifts were finally counted.

Fan Li felt strange.

Although the big man sent a lot of dowry, it seems that the convoy needed to carry it is not enough to line up from outside the palace all the way to the gate of the city, right?
Just as he was wondering, he saw Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan walking towards him.

Cao Cao glanced at Xiang Ning, obviously he had something to say, but no one else was allowed to be present.

At this time, it was impossible to push Xiang Ning away.

Fan Li said helplessly: "She is mine, the three Han envoys just say what they want."

The three of them gave a knowing smile that all men understand!
Cao Cao clasped his hands and said: "Duke Jin, the three of us came to Chu with heavy gifts this time, a total of 36 carts. Among them, 72 carts of gifts are used as dowry, and all of them are here. The remaining [-] carts are my expression to Duke Jin. All the respects have been sent to Fan Manor."
