Chapter 274: The Quest for Harmony
Qi Feng, who heard this, glanced at Zhuang Mingyue quite interestingly.
Although he didn't hear what Zhuang Mingyue said just now because of the sound of silk and bamboo, this did not prevent him from hearing some words.
Not to mention that Zhuang Mingyue, as the lord of a country, is an ordinary woman, how could she say such words that are similar to uncontrollable?
If Zhuang Mingyue was a man, when looking at these bewitching and moving dancing girls, it would be obscene to say this. But in Zhuang Mingyue's eyes at this moment, not only did not have the slightest obscenity, but were full of appreciation.
It's not the kind of deep lady in the noble family, the disgust and contempt for this kind of betrayal of the hue dancer, but the real appreciative gaze.
And judging from the situation just now, Qi Feng knew that Zhuang Mingyue really appreciated the dancing posture of these dancers, and it was precisely because of appreciation that she was so fascinated by it.
Qi Feng, who was thinking like this, raised his eyes again and looked in the direction of Zhuang Mingyue, "Xiao Chen thinks that the county lord of Qinghe is dissatisfied with Xiao Chen?" Otherwise, how could he be so rejected by the ministers thousands of miles away? ”
Obviously, the tone in his words was very normal, but when Zhuang Mingyue looked sideways, he saw Qi Feng's gaze with a somewhat sad look.
But when Zhuang Mingyue took a closer look at the past, she saw that the so-called sad color had not really gone deeper, and that look was just floating on the surface.
Zhuang Mingyue, who saw all this in his eyes, gradually deepened his sense of vigilance against this person in his heart. Although she didn't have any resistance to Qi Feng, she didn't like this self-familiar attitude.
Obviously, the two of them have not known each other for a long time, but this is the case, the person in front of her will still show this kind of look, even if she sees that this look is false, it also makes her feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhuang Mingyue, who subconsciously took his hand back a few points, immediately raised the wine glass on the side, "The envoy of Qi has thought about it a lot, Qinghe has never had any opinions on the envoy, if the envoy does not appreciate this kind of beautiful scenery, I am afraid that he will miss it." ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who said this, the meaning was already very obvious. But even so, Qi Feng, who was sitting next to her, never intended to shift his attention to those dancing girls.
"Lord Qinghe, why do you keep playing with the ministers to ......?"
Before Qi Feng's words could be finished, he was directly interrupted by Long Yuanxiu who came over from the opposite side, "Brother Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Qi Feng, who was suddenly interrupted from speaking, raised the cup in his hand, and after a while, he said with a smile again: "Second Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Valuing Long Yuanxiu who came over suddenly, Zhuang Mingyue's eyes lit up for a moment, and the smile on her lips couldn't help but deepen, "Yuan...... Lord Wang, why are you here? ”
Long Yuanxiu, who was also smiling, sat down beside Zhuang Mingyue with a little doting in his eyes, "I heard that Brother Qi is here, and I miss it for a long time, so I came over to take a look." ”
Long Yuanxiu, who said this, immediately set his eyes on Qi Feng's body, but the doting in those eyes had now become indifferent, even if there was still a faint smile on his lips now.
Before Qi Feng could speak again, Long Yuanxiu was the master
He opened his mouth and said to Zhuang Mingyue behind him: "Mingyue, you go to my place to rest first, I still have something to say to Brother Qi." ”
Hearing this, Zhuang Mingyue finally understood why Long Yuanxiu came over.
Seeing that Long Yuanxiu tied up Qi Feng, Zhuang Mingyue didn't want to stay here longer, "Okay, then I'll go and sit in your place first." ”
Seeing Zhuang Mingyue leave and go to his place and sit down, Long Yuanxiu took his gaze back. When he looked over again, he saw the playful smile in Qi Feng's eyes.
"Second Highness, it seems that this Mingyue sister is very different?"
Long Yuanxiu, who was being asked, didn't care if Qi Feng saw anything, or if he had any ghost ideas in his heart now, but he didn't care.
Because from the beginning of the banquet, he noticed this Qi Feng's gaze, which would fall on Zhuang Mingyue's body from time to time.
And because Zhuang Mingyue didn't ask about the world, she naturally didn't notice that someone on her side kept their eyes on her.
After Long Yuanxiu chatted a few words with the ministers of other countries around him, when he turned his head to look over again, he saw Qi Feng at a glance, looking at Zhuang Mingyue with that disgusting gaze.
It is precisely because of this that Long Yuanxiu decided to go over and replace Zhuang Mingyue to separate the connection between the two.
Qi Feng, who was separated, looked at Long Yuanxiu, who had an unkind expression, and Zhuang Mingyue, whose gaze would fall from time to time, the interesting meaning in his eyes became more obvious.
Although Zhuang Mingyue was faintly relieved in her heart after leaving Na Qi Feng's side, she found that after she reached the position of Long Yuanxiu, she couldn't hear anything more from the two people opposite, and there was another one not far away, Long Zhengning, whose eyes had been falling on her.
In order to avoid the body being too stiff and let Long Zhengning see something, Zhuang Mingyue, tried to avoid it slightly sideways, and kept talking to Long Sitong beside him.
Long Sitong, who didn't know what was going on, was still chatting with Zhuang Mingyue with great interest.
After waiting for a pillar of incense, the singing and dancing in front of him finally stopped.
And at this moment, it is the highlight of this time that all countries specially came to the Tiansheng Dynasty to present peacekeeping.
Because under the abundance of the Tiansheng Dynasty, other small countries, whether it is land or manpower, are a little too thin at the moment.
Especially after the envoys presented all the items, Zhuang Mingyue saw the Qi Feng that made her feel a little uncomfortable, and then she deeply realized why this Qi Feng would have this kind of attitude towards everything when she entered the palace.
Not because of anything else, but because of the Shunqi country where Qi Feng is located, whether it is the territory or the manpower of the people, although it is not completely comparable to Tiansheng.
But if the two countries do go to war, it is really impossible to say who will lose and who will win.
Just thinking like this, soon Qi Feng, who always had a warm smile, had already stepped forward, "Your Majesty, this is the treasure that the Shun Qi State has specially ordered the ministers to offer. ”
As he spoke, Qi Feng clapped his hands, and then saw a group of guards rushing in, each on their shoulders
Or maybe they all have something that looks like they're heavy.
"Smack." With Qi Feng clapping his hands again, the guards who put the things down raised their hands again and opened those things.
In an instant, the many rare treasures brought by Qi Feng directly suppressed the light of the gifts of other small countries.
Listening to the exclamations caused by these rare treasures, the smile on the cover became more obvious.
But any person, even if he is not interested in these gold, silver and jewelry, but when he sees this rare treasure, he naturally does not feel disgusted.
The emperor, who was quite happy on his face, raised his hand slightly, "Shun Qi has a heart, I really feel this heart, since your country's heart is so heavy, then I naturally can't take it back, and someone will bring the things I prepared before to ......the envoy of Shun Qi."
However, before the emperor could give the reward, he saw Qi Feng take a step forward, "Your Majesty, this time Shun Qi specially ordered the ministers to come to Tiansheng, what they asked for was harmony, and these rare treasures are naturally the heart of His Majesty of our country." ”
The emperor who was interrupted was not annoyed, after all, when other countries sent envoys, there were also people who wanted to be close to him.
So when the emperor listened to the words, he didn't ask too much, but just nodded, "Okay, since Shun Qi wants to marry me Tiansheng forever in this way, then I naturally can't refute this joy of marriage." ”
Seeing that the emperor agreed, the smile on Qi Feng's lips became more obvious, "The minister came this time, and he knew a person in the palace, and he felt that King Shun Qi would be happy, and I hope that His Majesty can fulfill it." ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who was sitting on the side, suddenly stiffened her hand holding the cup when she heard Qi Feng's words.
She subconsciously looked in the direction of Long Yuanxiu, but the other party's gaze also happened to fall from Qi Feng's body into her eyes.
Zhuang Mingyue, who saw Zhuang Mingyue's worry in her eyes, nodded at her, signaling her to rest assured.
"Oh? I wonder who your fancy is? I didn't expect that this person already had the emperor who had a fancy for him, and asked with some doubts.
As if he was waiting for the emperor to ask, as soon as the emperor finished speaking, he heard Qi Feng answer a little impatiently: "Lord Qinghe!" ”
When Qi Feng told Zhuang Mingyue's name, not only the emperor was surprised, but the entire hall gasped.
The people here, except for some envoys from other countries, who don't know that this Qinghe county lord is now a red man on the emperor's side.
Not to mention the great pleasing of the emperor, just out of a series of suggestions on political affairs, that is, even some ministers cannot compare.
And in this case, no matter what you think, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to send the county lord of Qinghe to the enemy country to make peace.
If it is an ordinary person, but if a smart person like Zhuang Mingyue is sent to the enemy country, wouldn't it be equivalent to sending an army to the enemy country?
Just when everyone was thinking like this in their hearts, sure enough, the emperor above the high position had a somewhat uneasy face.
Since these ministers can analyze clearly, if Zhuang Mingyue is sent to the Shunqi State, it is even more impossible for the emperor, who is the supreme of the Ninth Five, not to understand.
