Nagato has such a slim waist

Chapter 254 The Emperor’s Gamble

Qi Fang was also in the small meeting hall.

This conference hall is at the other end of the conference hall, far opposite the Jin side.

Feng Ying sat on one side, serving tea and water to Xiao Cheng and the Feng elders, doing her best to serve them.

Feng Jingyao mentioned that the last peace negotiation was fourteen years ago, when the states were merged.

The envoys were puzzled.

I don't know who suddenly mentioned General Xie Xian.

"While General Xie is still alive, how dare the people of Jin not fear Qi?"

As soon as Xie Xian's name came out, the hall suddenly became silent.

The decline of Qi seems to have started from that war.

Feng Jingyao coughed lightly, took a sip of tea, and said: "It's normal to have pauses and pauses. There is no need to have too high expectations for the Jin side and to delay the war."

Everyone nodded.

Xiao Cheng's expression did not change, and he said calmly:

"I have a plan. I just want to see if Jin should do it or not."

Feng Jingyao knew that the emperor had an idea and was not a brainless person like Yanping Emperor Xiao Jue. He was even more imperial than the deceased Prince Huairen Xiao Zhuo.

The Feng family has been a family of ministers for hundreds of years, and has gone through many ups and downs. With the establishment of the country by the Xiao family, the roots are well understood.

"What's your Majesty's plan?"

Xiao Chengdao: "The peace proposal is in the word "harmony". Jin side does not agree to our proposal. Jin side does not agree to the proposal. If we fight back and forth, no one will be able to convince anyone. The peace negotiation has reached a deadlock. Is it possible to ask for it again? Going to war?"

He smiled softly and said, "If Jin doesn't want to fight, then we have to make peace. At that time, I propose that both sides bet on three questions. Whoever wins will get Xinzhou. It depends on whether Jin Fangyun agrees..."

Feng Jingyao asked: "Who came up with the title?"

Xiao Chengdao: "One question from Jin, one question from Qi, and one question from Yunchuan."

It sounded extremely fair, but Feng Jingyao thought it was child's play.

"Is Your Majesty confident in persuading Jin to approve it?"

Xiao Cheng asked back: "Is Shangshu Ling confident that Jin will make concessions and return Xinzhou to me?"

These words stumped Feng Jingyao.

Xinzhou is currently an area occupied by the Jin State. It is more difficult for people to spit out the meat in their mouths than to reach the sky.

Therefore, whether Xiao Cheng's method succeeds or fails, it is actually a glimmer of hope sought in a desperate situation. If Jin agrees, of course it is good. If he disagrees, there is actually no greater loss.

Feng Jingyao said: "The plan can be accomplished. But how to persuade Jin to agree is a problem."

Feng Jingting sat on the sidelines for a long time. As the emperor's father-in-law, he felt that he could make a statement, "In my humble opinion, I can start with both."

Xiao Cheng asked: "Master Fu, tell me."

Feng Jingting said: "First, if I want to find my unfilial daughter, I might start with Pei Madang. Second, the Queen Mother of Jin is arrogant and competitive. When I find an opportunity, I provoke her and just ask her if Jin Ting dares to bet... "

Xiao Cheng smiled.

Feng Jingyao's face dropped.

He had always looked down upon this unsatisfactory younger brother, and his tone was harsh.

"The Twelve Mothers refuse to acknowledge you, yet they are trying to persuade Pei Madang for you? That's outrageous."

Feng Jingting's ears turned red, "Brother, Ayun expressed his stance that day, and our father and daughter have also settled their differences..."

Feng Jingyao hummed, not wanting to say more to him.

But when he looked at Xiao Cheng, he showed a complicated smile.

"Your Majesty." He held his hand, "I think it would be a good idea to start with the Queen Mother of Jin..."
-

Li Sangruo walked out of the dressing room with the support of two palace ladies.

The meeting hall is a "hui"-shaped structure with a straight wooden corridor that allows you to see the opposite side at a glance.

She saw Xiao Cheng standing at the other end of the corridor, with a face like a crown of jade and eyes as bright as lacquer. The magnificence of a noble son of an aristocratic family was really eye-catching.

Li Zongxun said to the outside world that he was from the Li family in Longxi.

In fact, starting from his grandfather, they were just a side branch of the Longxi Li family. In the past, the main family had no say in the clan. It was only in Li Zongxun's father's generation that they made great contributions due to the change of dynasty, and the kite turned over and changed its face.

But the heritage of a noble family is cultivated by generations of descendants. Li Sangruo came from a noble family, but he yearned for a more prominent family, such as Yuan Xie Wang Xiao of Southern Qi.

With this kind of thought, she regarded Xiao Cheng as extremely noble.

Thinking about the relationship between Xiao Cheng and Feng Twelve Niang, I became even more thoughtful.

With a smile on her lips, she greeted him.

"Qi Jun."

With jewels and jewels and a high bun, the Queen Mother is magnificent. Compared with her grand demeanor, Xiao Cheng looks more noble and elegant.

"Queen Mother."

The two of them saluted each other on the corridor, and no one avoided it.

There were guards not far away who saw him and stood far away, not daring to come over.

Li Sangruo thought this was a good time, smiled, walked sideways to the railing of the corridor, and looked at the garden with only desk chairs and tables.

"The conference hall was prepared in a hurry, and some flowers were missing. If this garden had been full of flowers, Qi Jun and I would have been in a different mood today."

Xiao Cheng stood with his hands behind his hands and followed her gaze.

"At this time of year, all the flowers have faded."

Li Sangruo laughed and said, "This is actually not a problem for you and me. Winter flowers and summer snow, as an emperor, don't you want it?"

Xiao Cheng frowned slightly.

At the same peak of power, he and Li Sanruo have different desires.

"Does Mr. Qi know that this meeting hall was created by Feng Twelve Niang?"

Xiao Cheng looked calm and said, "I have heard a little bit."

Li Sangruo smiled softly.

"It's a pity. Mr. Qi should have had a good wife, but things went wrong..."

Xiao Cheng did not look back, "The Queen Mother came to me not to tell me these sad things, right?"

Jixiang behind him lowered his head.

It was clear that His Majesty wanted to see Li Sangruo for something, but His Majesty didn't mention anything. He just raised the Queen Mother Jin up "by chance"...

Compared to his master, the Queen Mother was still inferior. Jixiang thought about this and lowered his head, fearing that the Empress Dowager Jin would see what he was thinking.

Li Sangruo obviously wouldn't pay attention to a servant.

She looked at Xiao Cheng and said: "The Ai family originally thought that Qi Jun would defy all opinions and return Qi Fang's captives, as stated in the agreement..."

Xiao Cheng seemed to not understand her words and said calmly:

"It is customary to exchange prisoners. We have reached an agreement with your country before the peace talks. Is the Queen Mother going to change her mind?"

Li Sangruo smiled, "Qi Jun understands what the Ai family is talking about. Feng Twelve Niang was originally the wife of Qi Jun. She was taken prisoner in Jin during the war. Like her sister Xiao Rong, she should be returned after the peace negotiation. But the Ai family There is no name of Feng Twelve Niang in the list of prisoners I saw, why is that?"

Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "The Queen Mother also said that things in the world are in turmoil. Since Feng Twelfth Mother is already married, how can I force it?"

Li Sangruo sneered secretly.

Men are the best at telling lies.

Li Sangruo said: "Why don't Mr. Qi add a list of prisoners? If the Ai family is satisfied, maybe they will agree?"

Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at her, but said nothing this time. This means that Qi State gave up its claim to Xinzhou, so she included Feng Twelve Niang in Qi State's prisoner list. Once an alliance is made and signed by both parties, it will be difficult to go back on it...

Xiao Cheng: "The Queen Mother is not afraid of the General's disapproval?"

Li Sangruo smiled and said: "It's just a personal name, how could the general find out?"

Xiao Cheng's eyebrows suddenly showed a hint of smile.

He looks gentle and noble, but in fact he is extremely contemptuous.

"The Queen Mother's plan won't work. I don't even bother to do it."

Li Sangruo noticed the emotion in the other person's eyes.

This Xiao Cheng looked down upon her, so he almost put the word "stupid" on her forehead.

She was a little angry.

But it’s not good to have an attack on the spot.

He endured the tone and sneered in a low voice, "Ruhuahuabeijuan, Qi Jun, don't you miss me anymore?"

Xiao Cheng said: "How do you miss me?"

Li Sangruo chuckled, "Qi Jun has to choose between Xinzhou City and a beautiful wife."

Xiao Cheng also smiled: "The beauty wants it. The city wants it too."

Li Sangruo was surprised at his arrogance and raised his eyebrows.

"Qijun is far more arrogant than Aijia."

Xiao Cheng said: "As long as the Queen Mother agrees, you and I can get what we want, why not?"
-

Feng Yun is in his store next door.

Nan Kui and Chai Ying were like two excited little quails in front of her, circling her without leaving their eyes.

After leaving the boudoir mansion and staying outside for a long time, Nan Kui lost her softness and became more sassy. The same goes for Chai Ying. She became more capable and worked very quickly. Compared with a while ago, she was completely different.

On the contrary, Jiang Yin has not changed much. She is still taciturn, gentle and smiling, but her voice is basically inaudible in the store, and she is so silent that she has no sense of presence.

Feng Yun saw her choosing vegetables, walked over slowly and smiled.

"How is it? Are you still getting used to it?"

Jiang Yin whispered: "I'm very good. It's very relaxing to be with Nan Ji and Chai Ji."

"That's good." Feng Yun smiled and was about to leave when he heard Jiang Yin say: "The prince sent someone to find my concubine again."

Feng Yun asked: "Let you follow him?"

Jiang Yin thought for a while and nodded, "I refused. I said I would follow my wife."

Feng Yun couldn't help laughing.

Chun Yuyan must have been extremely angry because he repeatedly felt embarrassed in front of Lian Ji, whom he longed for.

She was suddenly in a good mood.

Thinking about the relationship between partners, I decided to help him by talking more.

"Looking at people through a mask is a bit different. Why don't you look at the prince's face first and then make a decision?"

In Feng Yun's view, a man like Chun Yuyan with extraordinary good looks was still the rich and powerful Crown Prince of Yunchuan. He wanted good looks, money, and status, and yet he liked her so much that Jiang Yin had no reason to resist. Live...

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yin shook his head.

"The prince's appearance is not easily revealed to others."

Feng Yun raised his eyebrows, "He won't show it to you?"

Jiang Yin: "I told my father-in-law."

Feng Yun shouted, and just as he was about to say something, he saw a tall figure wearing loose clothes and a fur cloak walking towards the threshold. He was dressed in luxury and was very attractive...

If not Prince Yunchuan, who is he?

"The prince came just in time..."

As soon as Feng Yun's chuckle left his mouth, two more people appeared behind Chun Yuyan.

One has a stern brow and a meticulous expression.

A handsome young man with a slight smile.

It was Pei Ran and Ao Qi who came over.

The guards were all outside. Ao Qi came in, looked at Pei Man's face, and said with a smile: "I heard that my aunt prepared delicious drinks, so I came over to eat and drink."

Feng Yun agreed with a smile, asked Nan Kui to come over to greet them, and then motioned for Chun Yuyan to follow him.

Chun Yuyan was very amused, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on his lips, he bowed to Pei Manang and followed her.

"You look good."

Feng Yun turned sideways and glanced at Jiang Yin in the distance.

"Jiang Ji wants to see the Crown Prince's face. Does the Crown Prince want to see it?"

Chun Yuyan's smile suddenly faded.

He didn't have a chance to talk to her at the banquet last night. Thinking of the hurt she had suffered, he came here to visit. Unexpectedly, the girl in front of him had a ruddy complexion and fair skin. She was not affected in the slightest and she started to help him?

Chunyu Yan looked her up and down.

"Feng Twelve, are you okay?"

Feng Yun thought his words were very strange.

"Don't be ignorant. I just checked for the Crown Prince, and Jiang Ji is still a little curious about the Crown Prince..."

She smiled softly and said, "Conquer her with your beauty."

"Yunniang." A cold voice intervened, and Pei Madang's tall body covered him like a shadow. When Feng Yun turned around, he was already standing beside him, looking at Chun Yuyan coldly, his eyes as dangerous as the enemy in front of the battle.

"The drink is cold."

"Really?" Feng Yun glanced at Chun Yuyan, feeling like the big matchmaker, "Your Majesty, go to the tea room and wait a moment."

Chun Yuyan glanced at Pei Mang, curled his lips and smiled, "Okay."

Just when I was satisfied, I heard Feng Yun's slightly helpless voice.

"Let's talk to Jiang Ji. The prince doesn't have many advantages, so he must make good use of them."

Chun Yuyan narrowed his eyes, "What did you say?"

Feng Yun pointed to the mask on his face, "Don't be stubborn, you are not that shameless. I can only help you here..."

Pei Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.

Chunyu Yan clenched his teeth in anger.

For a moment, he really wanted to kill this woman.

He had lost so many children and grandchildren for her, but she actually wanted to be his matchmaker?

"Feng Twelve, you really dare to say anything."

Feng Yun felt that he hated him for no reason and was too lazy to pay attention anymore. He turned his head and took Pei Man's arm.

"I don't care about you. Let's go or not! General, let's go."

Pei Man subconsciously opened his arms and put his arms around her waist, protecting her like a baby.

Chun Yuyan watched the two of them walking away together, and remained silent for a while with a sullen face.

With a cold snort, he actually walked towards the tea room. (End of chapter)
