Chapter 355: The Demeanor of the Mu Kingdom’s Generals
The palace banquet has already begun, but the atmosphere in the palace has not been lively.
Because the main person has not arrived.
Emperor Wen and the Queen sat in the main seat in front, with several plates of snacks and fruits on the imperial table in front of them.
On the left sat the envoys of the Northern Frontier, several generals of the Mu Kingdom, and the prince and two princesses of the Yan Kingdom who had not yet left.
However, the most honorable seat on the upper left was vacant. Everyone present knew who this position was reserved for.
On the right were still the three princes and several important officials of the Jin Kingdom, and the most honorable seat at the top was also vacant.
"When the Ninth Prince of Mu Kingdom came, he didn't even enter the palace, but went straight to the Princess's Mansion. It seems that he attaches great importance to the Princess." Dugu Qingyun held the wine cup, and his tone was a bit meaningful, "The Ninth Prince of Mu Kingdom is a god of war after all. I didn't expect that in his heart, the love between children is more important than the family and country."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Wen and the Queen frowned.
"Although he is a god of war, the Ninth Prince of Mu is not very old. He went to the Western Frontier soon after marrying Li'er. After that, Li'er and her husband were separated. Until Li'er returned to Jin, they didn't see each other again." Jiang Yi said calmly, "It is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage. Besides, they are in the newlywed period, so it is normal for them to have a good relationship."
"Mother is right." Wen Jin smiled and said, "Thinking of the scene when the Ninth Prince and the Imperial Sister got married, I still remember it vividly. The Ninth Prince was really in love with the Imperial Sister."
Dugu Qingyun's eyes dimmed.
Deeply in love?
Could it be that he knew the identity of the eldest princess a long time ago, so he showed his deep love?
"Although I didn't want to agree to their marriage at first, I have to say that it's really hard to find a man as good as Mu Cang in the world." Jiang Yi's tone was full of admiration for Mu Cang, "Apart from his position, it's hard to find another one in the world for his status and ability."
"Three of the four people who are equally famous in the world are men, and the status of the Emperor of Yong should be better." Dugu Qingyun obviously disagreed with her words, "And the crown prince of Zhaoguo is also said to be an immortal. If we only talk about appearance, all the men in the world will be eclipsed in front of him."
"Zhaoguo?" A general of Muguo was displeased, "Zhaoguo has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the land and water nourish people. The beauties are the best in the world. Other countries can't compare with them in this regard, but real men compete in the ability to defend their country and the pride of standing tall. Prince Dugu thinks of himself as a woman, flirting and comparing appearance all day long?"
After the voice fell, the hall was instantly quiet.
The ministers of Jinguo were stunned and looked at the man who spoke.
Prince Dugu's face was gloomy and ugly, as if covered with a layer of frost, and he looked at the other party coldly: "Is this the demeanor of your Mu country's generals?"
"What kind of demeanor the Mu country's generals have depends on what kind of person they are." The young general looked cold, "Prince Dugu is not worthy of our courtesy."
"You——"
"Prince Dugu, please don't be angry." Emperor Wen spoke gently to smooth things over, "This young general is right, a real man is competing for the ability to defend his country and the unyielding pride, not to mention that even if we only talk about In terms of appearance, the Ninth Prince of Mu is also an extremely outstanding man, and there is no need to compare with others. "
After a pause, "Besides, the Ninth Prince is not here now. Isn't it impolite for us to discuss others in private?"
Dugu Qingyun said coldly: "I just admired the Ninth Prince for a long time, and I have no ill intentions."
"Will the Ninth Prince come over later?" A Jin official spoke up during the banquet, frowning and looking outside the palace, "I don't know how to deal with the six male favorites in the Princess' backyard. Will it cause misunderstandings from the Ninth Prince?"
Speaking of this, Emperor Wen's expression changed slightly.
Yes, the Ninth Prince of Mu is the God of War after all, with a high position and power. How could he tolerate his wife having male favorites?
And there are six at the beginning. No one can accept such a thing.
Emperor Wen turned his head and looked at Jiang Yi with some concern.
Jiang Yi was calm, sipping tea slowly, and was not worried about this problem at all.
"Although the responsibility lies with my eldest brother, my sister herself is also confused." Yan Yun looked uneasy, "She is a woman, she should have refused my eldest brother's gift to the young man. Even if she accepted it for the sake of face, she should have arranged a place for the six people as soon as possible after the housewarming party, right?"
Jiang Yi's eyes fell on his face, his face calm, not telling whether he was happy or angry.
"If the six people were sent away earlier, how could the Ninth Prince of Mu know about it? Now it's good, it's a situation that can't be explained even if you have a mouth. If the Ninth Prince of Mu gets angry, I'm afraid the relationship between Mu and Jin will deteriorate, which is not good for the diplomatic relations between the two countries."
"I have met the Ninth Prince of Mu, he is not a narrow-minded person." Jiang Yi's tone was light, and no emotional fluctuations could be heard, "They should solve their own problems, and it will not involve the relationship between the two countries."
"Mother." Yan Yun obviously disagreed, "As a man, I understand best what men don't know. What can be tolerated. The better their relationship is, the more the Ninth Prince cannot tolerate such things. If they were an ordinary couple, it would certainly not affect the relationship between the two countries, but the Ninth Prince is the God of War of the Mu Kingdom, and the Imperial Sister is the Princess of the Jin Kingdom. If there is a problem with their relationship——"
"I'm afraid that the Eighth Brother is overthinking." A cold female voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, interrupting Yan Yun's righteous words, "There will be no problem with our relationship, and there will be no problem with the relationship between the Jin Kingdom and the Mu Kingdom."
When everyone in the hall heard this, their eyes all turned towards the direction of the hall door.
Yan Li and Mu Cang walked in from outside the hall.
The man was wearing a black robe, with a tall and thin body and a cold and noble appearance. His face, which seemed to be carefully carved by God, was indifferent and distant, like a god descending from the sky, which made people afraid. ŴŴŴ.
The woman was wearing a scarlet long skirt, slender and beautiful.
The two came against the light, like the most suitable couple in the world.
The two princesses of Yan Kingdom had a stunning luster in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, Empress." Yan Li walked to the palace, nodded to Emperor Wen and Jiang Yi, and then turned to look at the ministers and guests on both sides, "This is Mu Cang, my husband in Mu State, the Ninth Prince of Mu State's God of War."
The ministers of Jin State stood up and bowed to Mu Cang: "Meet the Ninth Prince of Mu State, I have long heard of your great name, and I am honored."
Mu Cang said calmly: "No need to be polite."
Emperor Wen smiled: "Please sit down, Ninth Prince, take a seat quickly!"
Mu Cang nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty Emperor Wen."
A bad look was fixed on him from the side, and Mu Cang turned his head and glanced casually: "What advice does Prince Dugu have?"
Dugu Qingyun's expression was slightly stiff: "Do you know me?"
