LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 84 How ridiculous
"I remember that the Nan Zhao envoy came to Yong State for help. Why does it seem like we are asking for help?" Princess Pingyao turned to look at the Prime Minister You, "Xie Tinglan, you Are you sure we are not the ones who lose the battle?"
Xie Tinglan calmly handed over his hands as a gift: "Please rest assured, eldest princess, I will never dare to deceive the regent and the eldest princess at the expense of the safety of our family and country. Besides, if we have anything to ask for, it should be our envoys who go to Nan Zhaocai." yes."
"Oh." Princess Pingyao chuckled, "I thought that Nan Zhao's 800,000-strong army was pressing down on the border and was planning to give us a disincentive."
"Nothing."
They sang and coordinated so well that Nan Zhao's envoys looked embarrassed, and they all looked at Marquis Zhongyong with scornful expressions.
Han Xun's face turned even more ugly.
He used to be a person who was very good at disguising and hiding, but after Princess Zhaohua married him, she fell seriously ill and rested, and was never able to go out to lead troops in war.
He no longer needs to live under her halo, no longer needs to be forbearing and pretending.
He had just been proud of himself for the past two years, but he didn't expect...
"The Marquis is a rough man and doesn't know how to speak. Please forgive me, the eldest princess." Mr. Ji, who had just been scolded, apologized, "We are sincerely here to make friends with the Yong Kingdom and we don't dare to be disrespectful to the eldest princess."
Han Xun took a deep breath, with a smile on his face: "Yes, I just spoke rashly. Please forgive me, Princess."
"I don't take it to heart, princess." Princess Pingyao smiled faintly, with a hint of condescending contempt. "Since you are a rough man, we will deal with it later in a rough man's way. You can choose the location and the weapons." , how about a three-hundred-round battle?”
Han Xun clenched the wine cup: "I'd rather be respectful than follow——"
"The Prince Regent has arrived! The Princess Regent has arrived!" High-pitched singing and cheering suddenly sounded in the hall.
All the officials put down their wine glasses and stood up to greet him. Nan Zhao's envoys also stood up.
When entertaining envoys at a state banquet, it is rare in any country for the official host to arrive late and wait for the envoys to line up to greet him.
Han Xun's dissatisfaction deepened. Although he knew that Nan Zhao's current national power was not as good as that of Yong, they had requests from others and should lower their posture.
But the regent of Yong State was really arrogant.
The Duke of Zhen Guo was among the ministers. He was standing with the prime ministers on his left and right. He lowered his eyes to greet the arrival of the regent and the princess. His eyes fell on Shen Ning's face, and a complex look flashed across his eyes.
Ji Yucang and Shen Ning came side by side and walked through the center of the hall.
Ji Yucang's face was cold, dignified and intimidating, and his python robe made him look dignified and intimidating.
Shen Ning has a stunning appearance and a condensed aura. Although her daughter's figure is much slender and smaller, she is not inferior to Ji Yucang in terms of aura.
How could a woman of her age be so powerful?
Duke Zhen Guo's eyes flashed with deep thought, and he felt that Shen Ning had changed too much during this period and was not the daughter he knew before.
Han Xun's eyes fell on Shen Ning, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he also felt that Shen Ning's aura was too strong, and even felt an inexplicable and strange feeling of familiarity.
Ji Yucang and Shen Ning walked to the front and sat down at the main seat without saying a word.
The moment she saw Han Xun, Shen Ning's hands hanging on her sleeves had already been clenched tightly. Hatred swept through her heart, and she could hardly restrain the urge to cut him into pieces.
"Everyone, please sit down." Ji Yucang glanced slightly and glanced over Han Xun's face, "Is this the famous Zhongyong Marquis of Nanzhao, the consort of the Princess of War?"
The atmosphere in the main hall was tense.
Han Xun's face froze, and there was an incomprehensible embarrassment on his face.
Although no one knows what he is embarrassed about...oh no, Princess Pingyao knows.
"Uncle Emperor." She spoke lazily, "This Zhongyong Marquis from Nanzhao is indeed famous, but he said, 'My wife is deceased and I don't want to mention it.' This sentence of the Emperor's uncle touched on his pain point. "
"What?" Shen Ning raised her gaze slightly, her eyes pointed straight at Han Xun like sharp knives, "Does it embarrass you to mention your wife? Doesn't Marquis Zhongyong not want to admit that he got his title through his wife?"
The ridicule and malice in this sentence were completely unconcealable.
The Nan Zhao envoys all looked at Shen Ning in astonishment, wondering why the Princess Regent of Yong State was so hostile to them when they met for the first time.
Don't they want to help Nan Zhao?
Duke Zhen Guo was also shocked and looked at Shen Ning in disbelief, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Does she know what the occasion is today? With the important ministers of both countries here, it was her turn for a female prostitute to talk nonsense here?
"The Princess Regent has misunderstood." Han Xun's face was mixed with blue and white, and his smile looked extremely stiff. "I don't want to deny my wife's ability, but she is no longer here, and I want to give her some peace."
"Really?" Shen Ning smiled coldly, "The Princess God of War is famous far and wide. Generals from all over the world have heard of her reputation. Even if Marquis Zhongyong doesn't want to mention it, he can't stop others from praising her."
A flash of anger flashed in Marquis Zhongyong's eyes, and he lowered his eyes and said coldly: "The princess is right, I am too narrow-minded."
"I, the princess, are both women. I would also like to ask, is your title based on your own ability, or is it based on the merits of Princess Zhaohua?" Shen Ning stared at him for a moment, her eyes as sharp as Look at using a knife to poke through his inner defense and his fragile self-esteem, "If Marquis Zhongyong really loves his wife, I hope you will answer this question truthfully."
Han Xun was extremely angry and didn't understand why they kept pursuing the issue of Princess Zhaohua from the very beginning.
That bitch is dead!
She is dead!
What's there to say about a dead man?
He held the wine cup tightly, not daring to openly quarrel with the Regent of Yong. He could only squeeze out a smile from between his teeth: "My wife has made outstanding achievements. She has made great contributions to Nan Zhao during the seven-year campaign. It's just that I have been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and my injuries are getting worse, so..."
"It's really ridiculous." Princess Pingyao suddenly sneered, "It turns out that Marquis Zhongyong of Nanzhao can't understand human speech. He doesn't even understand what the Princess Regent is asking. How can such a person be sent to marry us? Dear envoys It's better to pack up and return. This kind of person can be named 'loyal and brave'. I'm afraid that after the death of the God of War Princess, Nan Zhao will only have a group of veterans and weak generals, and there is no need for marriage. "
After the words fell, Han Xun's expression completely froze.
The other envoys of Nan Zhao looked at each other, feeling on pins and needles for a moment.
However, they have something to ask for, and naturally they will not get angry because they are laughed at.
Another middle-aged man in black armor put down his tea cup and said to calm the atmosphere: "The Princess Regent doesn't know something. The eldest princess of Zhaohua has great military achievements. She is a rare and extraordinary woman in Nan Zhao, but Zhongyong Hou himself is not He is incompetent, otherwise Princess Zhaohua would not look down on him, right? It can only be said that Lord Hou may be inferior to Princess Zhaohua. "
After a pause, "But looking at the whole of Nan Zhao, there are very few people who can match the skills of the eldest princess Zhaohua. Moreover, Marquis Zhongyong and the eldest princess are husband and wife, so there is no need to distinguish between them."
