Killer Pretty Queen

Chapter 119 Envoys from Neighboring Countries

Coming to Tianshou Palace again, Xiao Li had no choice but to marvel at the ostentation of the royal banquet.And this time, it was the emperor's [-]th birthday, which was naturally a bit grander than the empress empress's birthday banquet last time.

The last time the queen's birthday banquet was held, the guests were nothing more than the family members of the harem, as well as the family members of various dignitaries in Beijing.But this time the emperor's [-]th birthday is another kind of ostentation.

Not to mention that all the dignitaries in the capital have already been included in the banquet, the princes from all walks of life and the envoys from the friendly countries who came from afar have already occupied a lot of seats in front of Tianshou Palace.

Fortunately, the great general was originally an important minister in the court, and Xiao Li was also a general protecting the country who had just returned from a big victory.So this time, both of them had seats at the front.

It was also for this reason that Xiao Li also discovered that besides the Empress Empress on the high platform, she was probably the only female family member who could sit in front.Even the few princesses in the court did not have this opportunity.

However, it was precisely because of this that the moment Xiao Li sat down, she attracted the curious eyes of everyone around her.Especially those people who came from afar, at this time they have already whispered in private.

A short, fat man with a mustache stared at Xiao Li for a long time, and finally couldn't help reaching out and poking a tall, thin, white man sitting beside him: "Hey, Mr. Dacheng, see Is that woman over there? It is said that she is Xiao Li, the female general protecting the country who led an army of 20 to the north by herself a while ago."

Hearing the words, the little white face couldn't help turning his head to look at Xiao Li, and at that glance, a fascinated look of admiration had already appeared on his face: "Oh? Is what Lord Aoi said true? Ah, it seems This young lady is really not simple! Look at her, she is only young, but she can have such courage. She really deserves to be the daughter of General Ling! If I, Goguryeo, can have such a heroine, then My King will definitely not let her go easily, she must be accepted as my Majesty's Mrs. Ru."

The short fat man couldn't help sighing after hearing this: "Yoxi, there are many female warriors in my Fusang country, but it's a pity that none of them have such an alluring appearance like this lady, otherwise our emperor wouldn't have specially sent me to participate His Majesty the Emperor of the Ling Kingdom's birthday banquet."

The little boy was very surprised when he heard that: "Oh? It seems that Mr. Aoi has other purposes for this trip!"

The short fat man narrowed his eyes even more when he heard this: "Yo Xi~ Ben Taijun, please tell Dacheng Lord the truth. This time, Ben Taijun is here mainly to propose marriage to Emperor Ling for our emperor." Said After finishing, he couldn't help taking a peek at Xiao Li again, the look in his eyes was as disgusting as he wanted.

It's just unfortunate that because Xiao Li's ears are too sensitive, she heard all of what they said.For a moment, Xiao Li couldn't help but sneer again and again.

nnd this little dwarf, judging by his appearance, he is not afraid to speak big words and flashes his short tongue!If this is not Tianshou Palace, my aunt will never let him go so cheaply!

Anger is anger, depression is depression, but at this moment, under the singing of an eunuch, Tianshou Palace suddenly fell silent.

"The emperor is here-" With a high-pitched song, the sound of Sheng and music was played in an instant, and the emperor was dressed in a grand and luxurious attire, wearing a flat sky crown, and twelve white jade beads on the front and back, majestic and magnificent It is natural.

"Congratulations to my emperor—long live my emperor!" Suddenly, after seeing the emperor coming out, all the ministers in Tianshou Palace hurried to the front of the table, bowed down and prostrated themselves on the ground. The voice of shouting long live has been heard for a long time.

Emperor Hui climbed onto the high platform, turned around, waved his hands at the people kneeling down in the hall and said, "Everyone is flat!" After that, with the support of the chief deacon, he sat down on the high platform.

After the emperor sat down, he spoke again: "My dear friends, although today is my birthday, it is still a rare and good opportunity. In the blink of an eye, 60 years have passed. And I am already old. It is said that the older a person is, the easier it is to miss the past, and I am no exception to this. Especially in the past few years, whenever I think of the old people around me, they have already occupied their own side. Throughout the year, more It is rare to meet me. My heart will be filled with melancholy involuntarily."

After the emperor said something, a few older people suddenly came out from the seats, and they walked to the high platform one by one, and then prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting long live, they couldn't help but burst into tears .People can't help but feel sad when they see and hear it.

When the emperor on the high platform saw him, he even raised his sleeves and gently wiped the corners of his cloudy eyes: "Everyone, please be flat! In fact, I know in my heart that on weekdays, everyone occupies one side. It is also for the stability and prosperity of the four directions of my Daling Kingdom. How can there be any time to travel back and forth between the capital and the network?"

Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly laughed again: "However, today, everyone can take advantage of this opportunity to gather together, and to reminisce about the past with me, which makes me very happy."

After saying this, the emperor nodded to the envoys who came from afar between the seats: "The envoys have come from a long way, it has been a hard journey."

When the short fat man, the little white face and the others saw it, they also quickly got up from the banquet, knelt down and saluted: "I, the lord, will naturally come to congratulate the emperor of the Shangling Kingdom on his [-]th birthday. For this reason, our lord I also specially selected precious items from our country as gifts for the emperor. I hope the emperor can accept it."

The emperor smiled slightly after hearing this: "I am already very happy that several envoys have come from afar. Now that they have brought me a gift, I want to open my eyes and see what your lord sent me. What kind of gift."

Hearing that, the short fat man came out first. He waved his hand lightly, and two strong men in black and white stripes walked out behind him. In their hands, they carried a one-meter-square box.

Humpty Humpty nodded at the two of them.The two carried the box to the open space in front of the high platform, and then under the instruction of the short fat man, the two reached out and opened the box together.

After this opening, everyone couldn't help being amazed.It turned out that what was inside turned out to be a large plant of red coral like green blood stained.

Looking at the astonishment of everyone in the hall, the short fat man also had a special look on his face.I saw that he first saluted to the emperor on the high platform, and then saluted to everyone in the banquet.

Afterwards, he just heard him say: "This red coral was obtained by the most famous sailors in my Fusang country. They dived into the vast seabed and finally got it. It was originally a favorite thing of my emperor. But when my emperor got it Knowing that this year is the 60th birthday of His Majesty the Emperor of the Shangling Kingdom, I am even more envious of it, so I specially ordered my envoy to travel thousands of miles to deliver this item to the Emperor. Please accept it with a smile!"

When the emperor saw it, he couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling: "This thing looks really extraordinary..." The emperor seemed to hesitate a bit when he said this, but in the end, he still didn't say anything more, but smiled at the short man. Fatty said: "Since it is your lord's wish, then I will accept it. Please also ask your envoy to thank your lord for me after you go back."

When the fat man heard this, he was naturally very happy, and quickly knelt down to salute and said: "In this case, then the subject will definitely convey the emperor's meaning to our emperor."

The emperor nodded and said: "Well, if that's the case, please let the gentleman sit down. Today, please let the gentleman have a good drink or two."

But he didn't want to, the short fat man didn't intend to return to his seat after hearing this.Not only that, but he actually knelt down again under the high platform.

When the emperor saw it, he couldn't help wondering: "Could it be that the envoy has something else to do?"

But the short fat man saluted the emperor and said: "Reporting to the emperor, this minister came from a long distance, firstly, to celebrate the emperor's birthday, secondly, he also came to Shangguo at the order of His Majesty the emperor of our country. Here comes the proposal."

"Oh?" After hearing this sentence, the emperor suddenly smiled at him: "It turns out that this is the matter, well, I already know about it, please let the king return to the table."

"This..." The short fat man was at a loss for a moment when he saw the emperor dismissed him with just such a sentence.Just as he was about to speak again, the emperor on the high platform suddenly smiled at him and said, "Today is my birthday, so I think you and your family are here for this. As for other things, we should wait until another day." talk later."

Now that the emperor has talked about this point, if the short fat man wants to say something more, it would be too ignorant.In desperation, he could only retreat.

When he walked in front of Xiao Li with a bitter face, Xiao Li couldn't help laughing out loud.When the man heard the laughter, he couldn't help but turned his head curiously, but he didn't want Xiao Li to suddenly speak to him in the bird language of hibiscus: "It's really Japanese people from the island country. They can't think of themselves. They just want to take a broken coral." It's a joke to come to Daling Country to win prizes!"

When the short fat man heard this, he couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise.How could he know that Xiao Li is a talent who has received special training, and the cases she took over in the past were not limited to local people.Therefore, uttering a few birdsong from her mouth is just the most common thing.

Seeing that short and fat man, he was really shocked by his own words, and the smile on Xiao Li's face became even more cheerful. nnd, how dare you be so disrespectful to my aunt, my aunt will show you some color.

After returning to the seat, the little boy next to him was frustrated when he saw that he was the first to go up, and quickly lowered his posture.

I saw him Shi Shiran coming out from the seats, just like the short fat man, he called back two people who also carried a big box in their hands.

A group of people came to the stage, Xiaobailian waved his hand, and the people behind him quickly opened the big box.

"Wow--"

All of a sudden, there were exclamations in the hall, but it turned out that the box brought by the little boy contained hundreds of round and bright pearls.And among the pile of beads, there was actually a smaller box.

But this time, I saw that little white-faced person walking forward in person, then carefully opened the box, held it under the stage with his own hands, and said: "My servant, Dacheng Lord of Goguryeo, I wish His Majesty the Emperor of Daling Kingdom great blessings in the sky." , Shou and Tian Qi."

After hearing this, the emperor still stroked his beard and smiled: "Mr. Dacheng is flat." After speaking, he couldn't help looking at the box in his hand, and asked with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Dacheng is also the same as the envoy of Fusang Kingdom. , brought me an extraordinary birthday gift?"

Lord Dacheng bowed quickly when he heard the words and said: "What I am about to present to His Majesty the Emperor is the red ginseng, a specialty from my Gaomingli country. This ginseng is indeed a good product for prolonging life in the world. Being able to take this ginseng will undoubtedly rejuvenate, which is even more admirable.

When Xiao Li heard this, she couldn't help but sneer coldly, she really didn't expect that this little boy would be so flattering.It's just that this guy shouldn't use too much force, if he shoots his ass through later, I'm afraid it won't be very good.

Just thinking about this, I heard the emperor on the high platform laugh loudly: "So that's the case. I just don't know, has the lord of your country ever taken this kind of red ginseng?"

Hearing this, the little white face subconsciously continued: "The former king of our country used to take this ginseng all year round, but a few years ago, the former king unfortunately fell ill and returned home on a crane. But now the king of our country I still regard this red ginseng as a good tonic, and I have to eat a few sticks all year round."

Chihaha... I really didn't expect it, if the fat man from the island country is an idiot.Unexpectedly, the little boy Smecta from Bangzi Country is not very smart.
