Empress Dowager: Husband, please lie down

Chapter 279 Is This Provocation? !

No matter how stunned everyone looked, Ruan Eryue sat down calmly, nodding and smiling obediently at the Queen Mother, Shun and Mrs. Tai.

Unusual, the Empress Dowager also smiled back at Ruan Eryue, and ordered the maids to take good care of Ruan Eryue.

Everyone below had different expressions, and there was no one whom Ruan Eryue didn't know.Almost everyone knew that she, as Mrs. Shun and Mrs. Tai, had a daughter.

But why did she arrange for her to sit next to Mrs. Shunhe tonight, and even Concubine Shu and others just sat under Mrs. Shunhe.Eleventh princesses, whom the queen mother loves the most, are also sitting on the princess seat.

Why did Ruan Eryue sit beside the Queen Mother, Shun and Mrs. Tai?She is so liked by the Queen Mother, Shun and Mrs. Tai, is she valued? !

For a moment, everyone looked a little complicated.

The maids lined up neatly and neatly in two lines, and served cakes, fruit plates, and fine wines for everyone in turn.

The vacant seat next to Xiahou Yin was specially reserved for the Mengnan envoy.

At a quarter of the hour, the Mengnan envoy entered the palace on time, led by Xia Hourui himself, and entered the Hall of Preserving Harmony.

Headed by the third prince of Mengnan, there are two middle-aged men who look like Mengnan officials behind them. The group salutes Xiahou Zhu in the way of worshiping in Mengnan, and after nodding with everyone, Xiahou Zhu smiles all over his face. Arranged to sit down.

However, I don't know whether the smile on Xiahou Zhu's face at this time is a warm welcome from the heart, or a forced support.

"I've heard that the people of Beijun are rich and prosperous. Today I saw it and it really lives up to its reputation! The palace in Beijun is even more resplendent!"

Tuobaye, the third prince of Mengnan, stretched out his hand to caress the beard on his lips, and laughed boldly in his slightly unfamiliar Beijun language, "Look, the women in the Beijun palace are also a Saibi is a juicy one! Look at this thin skin and tender meat, it's really hard to put it down! Hahahaha."

Tuobaye said in a low voice to a little maid who was standing in front of him and pouring wine for him.

She even stretched out her hand to pinch the little maid's fair and tender cheek!
The little palace maid blushed with shame, and stepped aside holding the jug.

Xiahou Zhu still thought the previous words were very pleasing, so he nodded with a smile on his face.His expression was quite proud, and he even thought about how to answer Tuobaye's words in his heart.

In order not to hurt Tuobaye's self-esteem, and not to disgrace the small country in southern Mengnan, he even organized a pertinent language.

However, after hearing the next sentence, the smile on Xiahou Zhu's face froze instantly.

Not only Xiahou Zhu's expression became ugly, but everyone present also gradually became unhappy when they heard what Tuobaye said.

Hello Tuobaye!You, Mengnan, are just a small barbaric country. You have already bowed your head to the North County and paid tribute to the North County for decades.Up to now, how dare they be so presumptuous in Beijun, uttering wild words and not paying attention to them!
Is this provocation? !

Seeing that everyone's expressions were ugly, I was afraid that it would be bad if the war started before the meeting showed the sincerity of the two countries.

Therefore, Xia Hourui hurriedly smiled to smooth things over, "Hehe, I have long heard that the third prince of Mengnan is a hero with an open-minded personality. When I saw him today, he really deserves his reputation! The joke just now is really funny."

Saying that, Xia Hourui raised the wine glass in his hand, and said enthusiastically to Tuobaye, "This king, on behalf of Beijun, first toast the third prince!"

Someone gave it down the steps, but Tuobaye didn't want to be too stiff.It's just that, I didn't expect these white-faced scholar-like men in Beijun to be so incapable of making jokes, and change their faces with a single sentence, it's really boring!

Therefore, Tuobaye also accepted Xia Hourui's kindness, still smiling, and raised his glass, "That's right, King Zhou understands my thoughts! Haha, it's done!"

Originally, Xia Hourui had good intentions and wanted to save the situation, but his friendly relationship with Tuobaye fell into Xia Houzhu's eyes, which was not a pleasant feeling.

Xia Houzhu has always been sensitive and suspicious, even his brother Xia Hourui who trusts him the most on the surface.But just now Xia Hourui's every move, every word and deed, fell into Xiahou Zhu's eyes, and successfully made his face even more gloomy.

You are nothing more than a prince, relying on my trust in you and reuse of you, how dare you go overboard like this?

Why do you, a little prince, welcome this barbarian instead of the whole North County? !I can still sit here!You pompous, ambitious bastard!

The above are all from Xiahou Zhu's heart.

The wine glass in his hand was also slightly cracked by his squeeze.

After Xia Hourui and Tuobaye sat down, Tuobaye turned his head to look at Xiahouzhu who was displeased again, and his smile was also reduced by one point, "Although what I said just now was a joke, it wasn't all a joke. This time, the king came to Beijun on behalf of Mengnan, but in fact, there are two other people who also came with the king."

As he said that, Tuobaye clapped his hands towards the outside of the hall, and said with a smile, "If you don't dislike it, you can enjoy a piece of Mengnan's dance!"

Tuobaye's attitude towards himself and Xia Hourui was obviously different just now, which made Xiahou Zhu feel even more turbulent.Looking at Xia Hourui, there was also a hint of warning and obvious displeasure.

Seeing this, Xia Hourui was very innocent, and he didn't know where he had offended this unstable emperor brother.

Just now, he helped him out of the siege, it's fine if he doesn't appreciate it, but he still stares at him like this!Humph, the baby is angry...

Xia Hourui turned her head arrogantly, and stopped looking at Xiahou Zhu.

Xiahou Yin and Ruan Eryue, who had been looking at the audience silently, looked at each other and smiled.

Concubine Shu also glared at Tuobaye secretly with some displeasure. Now that the back seat is vacant, she was planning to hold a palace banquet this time, so that Xiahou Zhu and the queen mother could see her ability, so that she could be on the queen mother's seat. bit is.

Therefore, I have to do everything by myself, and I can't finish my heart.This opening dance was supposed to be performed by her niece of her natal family, who was supposed to perform the dance in person, and after showing off, she also got the attention of other famous sons-in-law, so that she could choose a satisfactory husband-in-law.

Who would have thought that Tuobaye would have given him a preconceived idea?Isn't this, preposterous? !

There was a strange musical instrument sound outside the hall. Although everyone had never heard of it, they put aside their prejudice against Mengnan.The sound of this instrument sounds really good. Although it is not as exquisite and detailed as Beijun's music, it has a heroic feeling!
Afterwards, two women with half-veiled faces, dressed in Mengnan dance clothes and Mengnan headgear, quickly spun into the Palace of Preserving Harmony accompanied by music.

With a strong exotic flavor and a peculiar fragrance, everyone is paying attention to their graceful figure.
