After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 221 The Palace Banquet Troubles
Not long after, officials from the Ministry of Rites came in with a group of envoys.

The first envoy was Xiao Yanzhao, the seventh prince of the Canglang Kingdom. He was the most beloved son of the Canglang Kingdom's lord.

He looked arrogant and walked proudly, followed by a group of envoys.

After a while, they stopped a few steps away from the high seat.

When he saw the young Chu Ye sitting on the high seat, Xiao Yanzhao's face clearly showed contempt, and he said perfunctorily: "The little king pays homage to His Majesty Dayan."

He said he was paying homage, but he didn't salute. Instead, he looked arrogant.

The other envoys did not dare to neglect, and saluted seriously, "We will pay homage to His Majesty Dayan!"

Upon seeing this, the officials on Dayan's side became strongly dissatisfied with the Canglang Kingdom prince.

A minister immediately stood up, pointed at Xiao Yanzhao and said, "Prince of the Canglang Kingdom, why don't you kneel down when you see my emperor live long?"

Xiao Yanzhao glanced at him arrogantly, "I have always only kneeled before the Lord of Heaven and Earth, the Lord of your country, and not the King of my country. My willingness to salute is the greatest respect for your Lord."

On the contrary, he said that if they were really angry, Emperor Dayan would certainly punish him.

He himself has a bad temper, and when he was ignored like this, he couldn't help but sneered: "Our country has always only communicated with countries that understand etiquette and respect etiquette. Your country's behavior is really eye-opening for us!"

Xiao Yanzhao narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Chu Ye, "Your Majesty Dayan, do you care about your ministers? We came here in good faith, and we didn't expect to be treated like this. It's really chilling."

The minister was going to be furious.

They have come, and it is impossible for the Great Yan State to drive them away. Otherwise, if the news spreads, what face will they have for the Great Yan State?
With such a commotion happening, Emperor Dayan still had to appease them.

Thinking of this, they deliberately said angrily: "Your country is so insincere. When we return, we will definitely report it to the king."

The other party is just a minister, and it is not up to him to decide whether he wants to interact with their Canglang Kingdom.

This prince of Canglang Kingdom is simply arrogant!

Thinking about it, he looked at the envoys and said, "It seems that we came here in the wrong way. Dayan does not welcome us. We should return to the Canglang Kingdom immediately."

Xiao Yanzhao snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored him.

The minister in front was also very angry and said forcefully: "Since you have come to our country, you should abide by the rules of our country. My emperor has a noble status, how can you not kneel down?"

Before coming to Dayan, his father had told him that after arriving in Dayan, he must keep a low profile and must not start any disputes with Dayan and affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

The minister also had an upright temper, and was not at all frightened by the other party's words. Instead, he sneered: "So, the prince admits that your country does not understand etiquette and etiquette?"

"Your Excellency, you mean that you don't want to have contact with our Canglang Kingdom?" Xiao Yanzhao didn't panic at all, and deliberately seized on the minister's words and questioned him.

The envoys all looked dissatisfied, "Your Majesty Dayan, I have come all the way here, is this how your country treats guests?"

The officials of Dayan were all angered by his words.

It was obvious that they were rude in the first place, but now they turned against him and dared to question the emperor.

It's so shameless!
Xiao Yanzhao saw the officials on Dayan's side all showing anger, but he did not dare to say anything, and he became even more unscrupulous at the moment.

The envoys of the Canglang Kingdom were also confident.

Seeing the minister's expression change, Xiao Yanzhao looked proud.

This made the minister very angry.

At the moment, it seems that my father is really worrying too much.

The subjects of the Great Yan Kingdom were nothing but mediocre, and even their emperor remained silent in the face of his provocation.
They are so cowardly, and it seems that the national strength is not as strong as the rumors. After returning, he will definitely advise his father to attack the Great Yan Kingdom and capture the Great Yan Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, he paid even less attention to the people on Dayan's side.

He was even thinking about how he would brag about this deed to his brothers after returning to Canglang Country.

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, a low and cold voice said: "I wonder if the prince and the envoys have ever heard of the saying that courtesy should be reciprocated?"

Xiao Yanzhao heard this, turned around and saw a young official sitting at the lower left corner.

Seeing that the other party was young, he thought he was just an unimportant official, so he said arrogantly: "What qualifications do you have to ask this prince?"

Lu Xingzhi was not annoyed, but said calmly, "This is not the Wolf Country."

Xiao Yanzhao narrowed his eyes, "So?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at him, his tone was gentle, but no one dared to look down upon him, "The prince, as an envoy, is standing here and should be enjoying the hospitality of distinguished guests. However, the prince is so arrogant and does not understand etiquette, so we can only Repaying the prince with the same courtesy is called reciprocity."

Before Xiao Yanzhao realized what he meant, he pointed to the VIP seats in front and told the palace officials: "What kind of etiquette corresponds to what position? Move the envoys' positions to the end." ”

Seeing that the emperor had no objection, the palace officials immediately took action.

They had long disliked the prince of Canglang Kingdom. WTF?

When they arrived at their territory, they dared to act like a prince in front of their emperor.

The VIP seats should be moved to the back and let them sit on the bench.

Xiao Yanzhao finally understood what Lu Xingzhi meant, and was shocked and angry, "What do you mean?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at him, "I thought I had made it very clear just now. Why, the prince didn't understand?"

"You!" Xiao Yanzhao's face turned red with anger.

He couldn't believe that an official dared to treat him with such contempt.

He turned to look at the emperor on the high seat, but saw that the emperor didn't even look at him. Instead, he lowered his head and talked to the empress dowager, ignoring him the whole time.

The corner of Lu Xingzhi's lips curled up, and he said again unhurriedly, "This time your country is sending an envoy to our country, all countries are watching. The prince represents your country. His words and deeds should be reflected soon." will spread to all countries.”

After hearing this, the other envoys who originally wanted to wait and see finally did not dare to hold on anymore, and quickly whispered: "Prince, this is another country after all. Since we are here, we should follow their rules."

Xiao Yanzhao's face turned livid, "They are so rude, why do we have to stay here and suffer from this cowardice? Let's just leave!"

The envoy secretly thought, weren't you the one who was rude first?

Moreover, there was no turning back. They were all here. If they left directly like this and spread the word, what dignity would they have in Canglang Country?
I am afraid that before they return to Canglang Country, news of their arrogance and rudeness will spread throughout the countries.

When the time comes to go to other countries as envoys, I am afraid that they will not be welcomed.

When the envoys thought of this, they felt resentful in their hearts.

It's all the prince's fault for causing this trouble. Wouldn't it be better if he saluted respectfully?

It's fine now, the people in Dayan are laughing at me.

Moreover, the other party said it politely, but his words were full of threats.

As long as they dare to mess around again, tomorrow, every move they make here will be spread to other countries.

The envoys held back their anger and continued to advise in low voices, "Prince, don't forget the purpose of this trip, and be sure to endure your anger for a while, otherwise the other princes will laugh at you if you go back like this."

These words were very effective. After taking a deep breath, the furious Xiao Yanzhao finally reluctantly knelt down towards Chu Ye and said, "Xiao Yanzhao, the little king, pays homage to His Majesty Dayan."

The prince knelt down, and the envoys could only kneel down one more time with him, "We will pay homage to His Majesty Dayan."

A smile appeared on Chu Yejun's face, he raised his hand and said: "Prince, there is no need to pay such a courtesy, please get up quickly. Come and give me a seat!"

Xiao Yanzhao had a dark look on his face, why didn't he do this great gift? What did you do early?
He said aggrievedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty Dayan!"

Chu Ye glanced at Lu Xingzhi appreciatively.

Others also felt happy.

The prince of Canglang Kingdom was so arrogant just now, but now he has to kneel down and salute obediently.

This round, they, Dayan, won.

The minister who had been so angry before finally felt refreshed.

Qiao Jingjing looked at her man with admiration.

The man in her family is worthy of being the future prime minister of Dayan. His ability to control the situation is admirable.

In a few words, the prince put away his arrogance and bowed obediently.

Among the envoys, there was a minister who knew that he was in the wrong. In order to resolve the embarrassment, he took the lead and said: "It is the birthday of His Majesty Dayan. On behalf of the Canglang Kingdom, we would like to offer several congratulatory gifts to His Majesty Dayan and wish His Majesty Dayan a long life and endless happiness." Forever and ever.”

After finishing speaking, he asked people to open the several large boxes he brought one by one.

Several large boxes were opened, containing gold and silver utensils, silk and satin, rare jewelry, spices, ginseng, sesame oil, etc. The tributes were so numerous that it was dazzling.

However, these were nothing unusual to everyone present.

It wasn't until the Canglang Prince opened the last box in person that a stench filled the garden and penetrated into everyone's mouths and noses.

"What is it? It smells so bad!"

The officials of Dayan Kingdom covered their mouths and noses one after another when they realized what was happening.

The emperor, empress dowager and others on the high seats also frowned.

They had reason to suspect that the prince of Canglang Kingdom did it on purpose.

This guy must still be taking revenge on them for what happened just now!
