The mission had been arranged, and Qiao Tianjing entered the palace before Qiao Zhongguo.
Before he took his seat, he noticed a slightly strange atmosphere in the hall.
At this time, Han Mingzhe pulled Qiao Tianjing aside and told everything that had just happened.
Qiao Tianjing's expression suddenly changed when she heard this, and she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart. Fortunately, everything was kept secret from Xian'er, allowing her to take precautions in advance.
Han Mingzhe knew that Qiao Tianjing was very good to Xian'er, but he still couldn't help but warned:
"Tianjing, I gave Xian'er to you, you have to protect her well. I am just a daughter, I have no other choice."
Qiao Tianjing immediately nodded solemnly to Han Mingzhe.
"My father-in-law, please rest assured. My son-in-law has taken note of it."
When Qiao Tianjing found his seat, Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Jiaojiao were accompanying Hanya Xian.
Mrs. Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qiao Tianjing arriving.
"The banquet is about to begin. Boss, please take good care of Xian'er."
Qiao Jiaojiao immediately nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Qiao hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and returned to the front seat. After Qiao Tianjing sat down, Hanya Xian whispered about what happened just now.
"Qiao Lang, I'm fine, thanks to my little sister..."
After Qiao Tianjing heard the whole story, he turned to look at the innocent and lively Qiao Jiaojiao in front of him, full of love and gratitude.
When Qiao Zhongguo followed the emperor into the palace, he seemed to be as normal as ever.
Qiao Tianjing raised his eyes and exchanged a look with his father calmly.
After the kneeling ceremony, the chorus began:
"Xuan——Nanli State's envoy is here to see you!"
When the sound of the bell hit her ears, Meng Guxue subconsciously clenched her hands and lowered her head.
Everyone looked towards the entrance of the palace and saw a fiery red figure coming into view.
He has handsome eyebrows and a smile on his lips. His long hair is half scattered behind his back. There are bells on his headband and waistband. Every step he takes is extremely "lively".
When he reached the palace, he slowly bowed to Emperor Yong. Even in a foreign country, he still looked calm and magnanimous.
Qiao Jiaojiao raised her eyes to look at Baili Chengyou and commented secretly in her heart:
[As expected of the second male lead who can compete equally with the male protagonist. Look at this good skin. Who wouldn’t be confused after seeing this? 】
Because there was a special section for giving gifts and celebrating birthdays later, Baili Chengyou just said some auspicious words first, and Emperor Yong smiled and gave him a seat.
"Xuan——The Northern Kingdom's envoy is here to see you!"
Soon, the Northern Kingdom delegation, led by Che Hebi, entered the palace. Today, they all wore forehead wipes, which made them look particularly formal.
Che Hebi bowed to Emperor Yong, his expression neither humble nor arrogant.
Emperor Yong gave him a seat without a smile. Cha Hebi turned around and walked towards the long case. Suddenly he seemed to think of something and stopped again.
"correct."
With a smile on his face, Che Hebi suddenly turned to look at Qiao Zhongguo sitting down.
This sudden move instantly attracted everyone's attention!
"General Qiao." Che Hebi called lightly.
Qiao Zhongguo's expression was calm. He glanced at Emperor Yong first, and when Emperor Yong nodded to him, he spoke:
"Grand Master Che, I have resigned from my post a long time ago. It is really inappropriate to call me General. Grand Master Che should just call me Lord Qiao."
Qiao Jiaojiao:!
[The "attack" of the Northerners came too quickly! Are you so impatient? 】
Che Hebi nodded gently when he heard this, but the words he said were extremely heart-wrenching.
"Master Qiao, I am old and my memory is bad. I almost forgot something important."
"Before I left for the Yong Dynasty, my king specially asked me to send my regards to Sir Qiao."
"Over the years, Mr. Qiao's reputation has not faded in our country. Speaking of which, the people of our country only know Mr. Qiao's name, and they think that Yong's country also has the surname Qiao."
After Che Hebi finished speaking, there was silence in the palace, and you could hear a needle drop.
Everyone knew that these seemingly flattering words actually put Qiao Zhongguo on fire!
Anyone can see such a low-level plan to sow discord, let alone the Holy One.
However, it is such a straightforward eye medicine that can most hurt the emperor who cannot tolerate sand in his eyes!
Although Tan Hanchi was favored by the Holy Spirit, his official position was not high, so he was placed near the palace gate.
At this moment, hearing Che Hebi's provocative words, he lowered his head slightly and raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
coming......
When Emperor Yong heard this, his heart was suddenly stabbed.
Not because what Che Hebi said was so treacherous, but because he remembered the bet he made with Tan Hanchi and how Qiao Zhongguo had just been plotted against!
OK--
This northern thief is indeed dishonest!
They thought that he was so comatose that they could provoke him to kill Zhongliang with just a few words!
Qiao Zhongguo looked at Emperor Yong's face and was about to retaliate sharply when Emperor Yong suddenly laughed lowly, making everyone laugh out loud and scared.
Che Hebi's heart was slightly settled.
The young master said that Emperor Yong was suspicious and fickle, narrow-minded, and attached great importance to reputation and face.
If you want to target Qiao Zhongguo, you have to do the opposite and praise Qiao Zhongguo in front of Emperor Yong. Emperor Yong will definitely be dissatisfied with Qiao Zhongguo.
As long as this thorn is buried in Emperor Yong's heart, it will take root and sprout over time, until one day when the time is right, it will grow into a deadly blade that stabs Qiao Zhongguo!
As soon as Che Hebi's thoughts reached this point, he heard Emperor Yong say quietly:
"It seems that your country is indeed reflecting on its situation."
Che Hebi:? ? ?
Everyone:? ? ?
Qiao Jiaojiao:! ! !
Emperor Yong saw the slightly surprised expressions on Che and Bi, and became even more certain that, just as Tan Hanchi expected, this northern country was here for eye drops!
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, suddenly put his elbows on his knees, supported his chin with his palms, leaned over slightly and said:
"Back then, your country overestimated its capabilities and invaded the northern territory of our Great Yong Dynasty. After all, you learned a profound lesson from Qiao Aiqing's cavalry."
"I hope we can continue to do so, and don't forget to warn future generations to stay safe and not have evil thoughts, otherwise - you will surely suffer the consequences!"
"Of course, there are too many ignorant people in your country, and they must be educated. The people don't know my surname in the Yong Dynasty. Don't even Grand Master Che and your Northern King's court know?"
After Emperor Yong finished speaking, he drank a glass of wine unhurriedly.
When he looked up again, he saw that Che and Bi were still standing in the hall, so he turned his head and asked, "What? Did King Jinyu ask Grand Master Che to say anything else? Let's finish them all together."
"If not, it's time to take a seat."
Confusion flashed across Che Hebi's face for a moment, and his face turned pale at Emperor Yong's words.
He was puzzled as to why Emperor Yong and the young master were so different from each other.
Today, Emperor Yong put down his body and blocked him in person, which can be regarded as a full display of protection and favor for Qiao Zhongguo!
But now that they were on someone else's territory, they couldn't verbally take advantage, so Che and Bi could only sit back and look for another opportunity.
All the courtiers were also shocked. It turned out that Qiao Zhongguo's position in the heart of the Holy Emperor was so stable!
From this point of view, you must be more careful when dealing with Qiao Mangfu in the future!
