Diana's appearance undoubtedly pushed the popularity of the exchange meeting to its highest peak.
However, this Roman princess' unusual respect and enthusiasm for Liang Xiao undoubtedly broke the hearts of many men present.
After Diana exchanged greetings with Liang Xiao, she walked down the steps and, under the arrangement of the palace officials, chose the most conspicuous table and sat down.
In the blink of an eye, talented women from both countries swarmed towards her, full of enthusiasm.
Mu Qinxue saw this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This exotic girl is so beautiful that even she likes it very much when she sees it.
With Diana attracting the whole crowd, she was happy to be quiet.
Liang Xiao just gave a brief speech and then walked off the stage.
When Tuoba Jun saw this, he immediately winked at everyone in the Duanmu family.
The Duanmu family monopolized the official positions in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites, and were the most powerful. They did their part and became the vanguard against Liang Xiao.
Duanmu Yuncheng could no longer hold himself back and rushed to Diana's table first, only to see Liang Xiao walking towards Mu Qinxue.
Mu Qinxue stood up slowly and looked at Liang Xiao tenderly.
"Qinxue, would you mind sitting at the same table with us?"
Liang Xiao's inquiry made Mu Qinxue happy, and she nodded without thinking: "Okay."
Under the angry gazes of Duanmu Yunqing and his wife, the two came to Zhuge Cheng's table.
Qin Baili and others drank tea instead of wine, and after toasting Liang Xiao, they went to the next table to find Lin Xiu and others, making room for Liang Xiao and Zhuge Cheng to talk.
Liang Xiao asked Zhuge Cheng in a low voice: "How will Baili and the others behave here?"
Zhuge Cheng replied: "Neither humble nor arrogant, very good."
"They were no longer as comfortable as before when they were talking to me just now." Liang Xiao said helplessly.
Zhuge Cheng explained: "You are now the Marquis of Lanling and a popular figure of the Emperor. They just want to avoid suspicion. In fact, they still respect you in their hearts as always. They praise you in every word, but they don't I will just praise you in front of you."
Liang Xiao couldn't help but laugh, and felt much better.
Zhuge Cheng also studied in Taixue, and he had a good relationship with these poor people and knew a lot about them.
Most of these people, especially Qin Baili, are slow in speech but quick in action. Since Zhuge Hui is optimistic about them, he can rest assured.
Liang Xiao asked again: "Brother Zhuge, I am very likely to become a county governor or a prefecture governor in the future, and let them help manage the prefecture and county. What do you think?"
Zhuge Cheng praised: "That means people can give full play to their talents, but the Duanmu family will definitely object!"
Liang Xiao looked at Duanmu Yuncheng and others in the distance, smiling and saying nothing.
This Duanmu family must be brought down by him no matter what.
As for the other companies, from the perspective of onlookers, it seems that they are just at odds with him and just fighting over ideas.
But he is too aware of the methods and schemes of these aristocratic families, and eradicating the roots cannot just be the exclusive preserve of the enemy.
After talking with Zhuge Hui, Liang Xiao also deeply understood the old man's good intentions in asking him to be loyal to Da Zhou.
Liang Xiao and Diana became the focus of the entire exchange meeting, and even Xing Feng did not have such a big spotlight.
“Mr.
Someone on Dachu's side expressed dissatisfaction.
Xing Feng said without hesitation: "The talent, learning and structure of Marquis Lanling are ten times better than that of you and me. Naturally, a capable person will preside over this meeting. I, a great Chu scholar, should have a broad mind. How can I be like some people?" The party is united and opposed, and jealousy is always burning, and the corpse is left to eat nothing."
Even Xing Feng lamented that he was inferior, and other great Chu talents had nothing to say. Everyone glanced at Duanmu Yuncheng and Duanmu Yunqing in the distance.
Xing Feng didn't say anything, but in fact he almost named him.
Without Xing Feng's approval, they would not dare to attack the Zhou people.
This time, Li Xinwen did not express dissatisfaction with Xing Feng, but just stayed with Gongsun Yue with a heavy heart.
Xing Feng is right, deeds do not matter the heart, at least Liang Xiao is really treating the refugees kindly.
Not to mention aristocratic families such as Dazhou, including the Li family of Dachu and the Dingguo Houfu of Xingfeng, their usual aid to the refugees was mostly for political show. However, Liang Xiao was able to spend all his family wealth to treat the refugees kindly two years ago. She was speechless.
This shameless guy really has a grand scheme. He also gave away so much fine wine and gained both fame and fortune.
Almost everyone believed that Liang Xiao would recite poems at the exchange meeting and produce great works again. After all, he was recently recognized as the future Great Zhou Poet.
Especially the "Luo Shen Fu" is amazingly talented and beautiful.
Other poems are eligible to be ranked among the top fifty poems of the Zhou Dynasty.
However, Liang Xiao had no intention of reciting poems and correcting them. Instead, he made impassioned speeches to remind everyone that doing practical things was more meaningful.
Although this person was shameless, he also subverted her stereotype of the literati of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There was only one person present, who remained silent and said nothing.
Xichuan Jianzong, Jian Canglang.
As a famous swordsman in Bashu, he had already shown his face by accepting Xing Feng's invitation just now.
Jian Canglang's eyes were as bright as a torch as he looked at Liang Xiao with a calm expression.
No one knows his inner thoughts.
Under Xing Feng's reminder, people from Da Chu also came to greet Liang Xiao one after another, making them look familiar.
Tuoba Jun and others were relieved when they saw that Diana had stolen Liang Xiao's limelight, and everyone began to disperse around and talk loudly.
At least, don't let him take the spotlight!
When the talented ladies learned that Duanmu Yuncheng was coming, they all made way for them.
"Princess Diana, down here in Duanmu Cloud City, here's a toast to you!"
Duanmu Yuncheng walked in, raised his glass with a warm smile on his face.
Diana's follower Weiss reminded: "The Duanmu family is a famous family in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Diana had just arrived in Dazhou and was unfamiliar with the place. She only had an apologetic look on her face and said, "Sorry, please forgive me for having tea instead of a bar."
"Princess, please!"
Duanmu Yuncheng was elated, and after finishing his drink, he asked: "Princess Diana is from Rome, how come she can speak the Zhou language fluently and be elegant and decent?"
Diana replied: "I really like the culture of the Zhou Dynasty, and my grandfather is from Yanzhou. I am a quarter of the Zhou Dynasty."
"So that's it!" Everyone was stunned.
Duanmu Yuncheng was in a good mood and became more and more enthusiastic, saying: "My father is currently the Minister of Etiquette. I have been exposed to it since I was a child and read poetry and books. I wonder which part of the Zhou culture Princess Diana likes the most?"
Diana was stunned.
Mu Qinxue quickly reminded Liang Xiao: "You should communicate with this princess more and don't let her be abducted by the Duanmu family!"
Before Liang Xiao could answer, Diana's delicate laughter could be heard in the distance.
"Of course they are poems and songs, which are the treasures of Zhou culture. Moreover, I like heroic epics, especially the kind of heroes who care about their family, country and the world." Lying in a lonely village, I don't feel sorry for myself, but I still think about guarding the Luntai for the country. . Lying down late at night listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse glaciers come into my dream! This song by Lanling Marquis has won my heart!"
Duanmu Yuncheng's face fell instantly.
"Princess Diana is very discerning! It's just that Marquis Lanling failed to produce another masterpiece today. It's a pity..." The talented ladies praised her one after another, but couldn't help but look regretful as they looked longingly at Liang Xiao in the distance.
Diana smiled and said: "Didn't you see the new issue of the newspaper published today? The poems of Marquis Lanling are in today's newspaper. That's why I can't wait to see who Marquis Lanling of the Great Zhou Dynasty is. Yes, so chic and bold.”
Everyone suddenly became interested: "There is a newspaper today? What did Marquis Lanling write?"
Diana took the newspaper from Weiss with a clear voice, like the sound of nature.
"I don't see you, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return..."
