Zhao Ding disagreed with this and still picked up the wine glass in front of him calmly.
Xiao Daocheng's move was just to show Dayu's envoys to see it. On the surface, it raised his status in Dayu, but in fact, it was used to suppress Dayu's dissatisfaction.
At the same time, it also conveyed another layer of news to him, Zhao Ding.
Need more money!
But unfortunately, Xiao Daocheng's plan is destined to fail.
Although he Daqian hoped to obtain Beiliang's smelting skills, he did not necessarily need it. He wanted Beiliang to become a natural buffer zone between Daqian and Dayu.
If Xiao Daocheng really relied on this matter and deliberately waited for a price, then Zhao Ding would have enough confidence to reject this marriage today.
As for Xiao Yunu?
There are no feelings between countries.
At this point, the identities of Zhao Ding and Xiao Yunu were already determined.
If he, Zhao Ding, were the heir of an ordinary family, he might be able to compromise and seek compromise, instead of being angry for beauty. But unfortunately, since he is the prince of Daqian, he must put the interests of the country first in everything!
Zhao Ding stood up, held the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's kindness, I can't live up to it, so I only use the wine in the cup to thank your Majesty for today's hospitality."
After that, Zhao Ding drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp.
The Dayu envoy on the side also stood up and returned a toast to Xiao Daocheng.
It's just that his face doesn't look very good.
As the most powerful country in the Five Kingdoms of the Central Plains, he is not always a guest and sits at the top of the list wherever he goes on missions. But now, not only is the position arranged behind Zhao Ding and others, but even the opening remarks are done in front of others. .
Maybe outsiders don't think so.
But for the envoy of Dayu, this was nothing short of an insult.
However, Xiao Daocheng only gave him a faint reply. He even took a sip of the wine in the bottle and stopped drinking more. But for Zhao Ding, he took a big sip, and his old face was full of smiles. .
It can be said that this was completely a suppression of the envoys of Dayu.
What he also expressed was Xiao Daocheng's dissatisfaction with Dayu.
Naturally, the Northern Liang courtiers, royal nobles, and celebrities present all knew this.
After these opening remarks, the banquet naturally began.
A beautiful lady dressed in palace attire filed into the hall, bringing in various kinds of wine and delicacies.
At the same time, elegant silk and bamboo pipe music sounded, and several rows of dancers wearing Beiliang's characteristic dance costumes came and danced in the open space in the middle of the banquet.
But Xiao Yunu had no such intention at all, and from time to time looked at Zhao Ding who was chatting and laughing with other guests at the front seat.
Zhao Ding also looked over occasionally and smiled gently at her.
Just like a handsome gentleman.
This caused Xiao Yunu's face to turn slightly red, and he looked away slightly panicked.
Seeing her look like this, Concubine Chen Guifei on the side couldn't help but joked: "You haven't married yet, that's it. What if you get married in the future?"
"mother......"
Xiao Yunu glanced at her mother shyly,
After looking at Xiao Yunu and then at Zhao Ding, Concubine Chen said with a smile: "If you want to see it, just look at it openly. You are all engaged, why hide it like this."
"Your father said that Zhao Ding, the ninth prince of Zhao Qian, is a talented person. It is indeed true. Yu Nu, you have found a treasure."
Concubine Chen Guifei also met Zhao Ding for the first time.
But now looking at Zhao Ding's conversation and Xiao Daocheng's testing of him, he is still so calm and composed, indeed he has some self-cultivation.
If her daughter could marry Zhao Ding, it would be a match made in heaven.
Hearing this, Xiao Yunu's face turned red.
Although she didn't speak, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
She couldn't decide who the marriage partner would be, but if it was Zhao Ding, she would be happy in her heart.
Over there with the Daqian Mission.
Yang Fu was also a little surprised after seeing Xiao Yunu, and exclaimed: "I have always heard that the Six Princesses of Beiliang are extremely beautiful, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Such a beauty is truly rare in the world, and she is worthy of being called the most beautiful woman in Beiliang. "
Even Yang Fu thought Xiao Yunu's beauty was extraordinary.
Xiao Yunu was so dazzling today that countless people in the palace frequently looked at the sixth princess of Beiliang.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more intense.
After drinking several glasses of wine, Xiao Daocheng's face turned slightly red. He stood up and said, "Fine wine and delicious food alone are not enough. We should have beautiful women dancing with us!"
Someone comes and tells Mr. Gongsun to enter the palace!
Today I invite you all to enjoy my first sword dance in Beiliang! "
As Xiao Daocheng finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall.
"Mr. Gongsun? Which legendary Lady Gongsun is the unparalleled swordsman?"
"Your Majesty actually summoned Madam Gongsun?"
"It is said that Aunt Gongsun's sword dance is the best in the world. I didn't expect to be able to watch it with my own eyes today!"
"It's really a worthwhile trip!"
…
Everyone in the hall was talking a lot.
Everyone felt very excited and happy when they heard that Xiao Daocheng invited Aunt Gongsun to perform the sword dance.
"Aunt Gongsun?"
Listening to Xiao Daocheng's words, Zhao Ding also frowned.
In his memory, there was also a person named Gongsun Auntie in the past life. She was good at sword dancing. She was born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. She was a strange woman who single-handedly achieved the path of the Three Saints!
Zhang Xu, the Saint of Cao Cao, realized the art of Kuang Cao because he watched Aunt Gongsun's sword dance.
Painting sage Wu Daozi also learned how to use brushes from sword dancing.
In addition, there is the poet sage Du Fu, whose generous and famous poem "Watching Gongsun's Disciples Dance with Swords" was written by Du Fu when he was a boy and watched his disciples dance with swords. And hair.
It can be said that Aunt Gongsun is a very legendary woman, and her name has gone down in history with just one sword dance.
Now when he heard Xiao Daocheng mention this familiar name, Zhao Ding couldn't help but feel a sense of expectation in his heart. He had never had the opportunity to meet that strange woman during the prosperous Tang Dynasty in his previous life.
But now he was a little curious about this strange woman with the same name and surname from another world who was good at sword dancing.
He put down the wine bottle with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
He really wanted to see the peerless appearance of this first dancer in the prosperous Tang Dynasty!
Following Xiao Daocheng's summons, everyone's eyes turned to the gate of Baohe Hall.
A beautiful figure walked into the hall with lotus steps.
Wearing a purple skirt that exposed her waist, she carried a long sword on her back.
The slender waist and exquisite body are hidden under the tulle, looking vaguely visible. The skirt's bifurcation is slightly higher, revealing two snow-white long legs. The purple skirt and white legs create an extremely strong visual contrast.
Although the appearance is not very beautiful, it is extremely charming, with a slender and straight waist, revealing a unique charm.
Although she is called Gongsun Auntie, she is not actually in her forties or fifties. She looks like she is only in her early twenties.
