Seeing Meng Guxue's helpless look, the wife of the king immediately spoke to comfort her:
"Xue'er, don't be nervous. Tianhe Hall is the place where envoys are entertained. Looking at this hour, it's time for lunch."
"You are the marriage princess from the Yong Dynasty. Now the envoys of the Yong Dynasty have come to announce that it is the rule for you to go and see her, so there is no need to worry."
Meng Guxue was slightly relieved after hearing this.
It turned out that I was going to have lunch, although it might have been the Hongmen Banquet...
"Mother, Xue'er has taken Jiaojiao to the banquet first. You have a good rest. After the banquet, Xue'er will come back to see you."
The lady of the country nodded gently, "Go ahead, don't worry, Qiushi Palace Youer must have someone here."
Meng Guxue carried Jiaojiao out of the main hall, where the eunuch who announced the decree was still waiting.
The two of them followed all the twists and turns and finally arrived outside Tianhe Hall.
When the young eunuch saw the person coming, he immediately went into the palace to report. After a while, the summons sounded:
"Xuan——The three imperial concubines have come to the palace to have an audience."
Meng Guxue took a deep breath, led Qiao Jiaojiao and walked in in a dignified manner.
Jiaojiao looked around calmly with her dark eyes. As soon as she entered the palace, she immediately saw the leader of the Nanli Kingdom wearing a dragon robe on the throne.
Different from the imaginary image of a bad old man, the leader of Nanli Kingdom sat on the main seat with his eyes open. He had a dignified appearance and a majestic body, but he had a warm smile on his face.
Meng Guxue pulled Qiao Jiaojiao and bowed. At this time, the voice of the leader of Nanli Kingdom rang out gently:
"Third Princess, who is this child beside you?"
Meng Guxue immediately replied respectfully: "Back to my father, this is the youngest daughter of the envoy, Mr. Qiao."
Qiao Zhongguo, who was sitting down, immediately stood up to claim it: "It made the Lord laugh. There are many reasons why I had no choice but to take my little girl with me."
"My little girl is young and has no health. Please forgive me, the Lord of the country."
Although there was no precedent of bringing a young girl with him on a mission to another country since ancient times, it was a relatively relaxed luncheon at this time, and Qiao Jiaojiao was brought by Meng Guxue, so it didn't hurt.
The king smiled and waved his hand, "Children are innocent and cute, what's the point of talking about it? The envoys have come from afar, but I hope you will feel at home."
Qiao Zhongguo stood up and took Jiaojiao over, while Meng Guxue also walked over and sat down next to Baili Chengyou.
Baili Chengyou turned his head and glanced at Meng Guxue, then gently squeezed her hand under the table.
Meng Guxue didn't know why, so she hesitated for a moment and then pinched back.
Baili Chengyou may be greeting her...
I have to quickly find an opportunity to tell him the inside story that the king’s wife just revealed to him!
Qiao Jiaojiao looked at everyone present while listening to the king's words.
The leader of the country is led by three princes respectively. Opposite them sit the envoys from the North, led by an old acquaintance, Che Hebi!
Qiao Jiaojiao glanced at each of the Northern Kingdom envoys and thought to herself:
[Shen Yuanbai and Yinzhu will definitely contact Che Hebi. I even wonder if Shen Yuanbai will hide in disguise among these northern envoys! 】
Qiao Zhongguo's eyes moved slightly when he heard this. He had just looked at it carefully, but he didn't see any clues.
However, he already recognizes these people's faces. If a strange face appears next time, he will definitely be able to recognize it!
At this time, the topic in the palace turned to the lord's wife. The lord looked happy and especially thanked Dr. Zou.
Dr. Zou stood up in fear and did not even dare to say anything.
Qiao Jiaojiao already knew the inside story of the king's wife sleeping, and when she heard this, she immediately looked at the king's expression.
It's a pity that the leader of the country is an old fox at the ceiling level. It is impossible to find any clues from his face.
Qiao Jiaojiao thought for a while and then cast her eyes on the face of the second prince sitting in the seat.
The second prince was currently drinking wine from a glass of wine. From Jiaojiao's perspective, only his resolute profile could be seen.
At this time, the king clapped his hands and signaled the luncheon to begin.
Soon, the delicacies were served like flowing water, and another dancer followed in, twisting her waist.
Qiao Jiaojiao was feeling empty in her stomach when a sudden gust of fragrant wind blew through her nose. A dancer in cool clothes came forward to serve the wine herself.
Qiao Jiaojiao glanced at it and saw that the dancer was almost leaning on her father!
Qiao Jiaojiao: ヾ(・`⌓´・)ノ゙
【Ah ah ah! father! You must abide by your masculine virtues! 】
When Qiao Zhongguo smelled the strong smell of powder, he felt uncomfortable all over and quickly raised his hand to stop the dancer.
"No need to wait here, just go down."
Qiao Jiaojiao nodded with satisfaction when she heard this, then turned to look at her eldest brother again.
【Ouch! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Qiao Tianjing was extraordinarily handsome, and there was no baby like Jiaojiao blocking his side. The two dancers, one on the left and one on the right, wanted to cling to him.
Qiao Tianjing kept a straight face and refused again and again.
The king was sitting on the upper seat and couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.
"Why do you two, Mr. Qiao, have to be so polite?"
Qiao Tianjing was not fooled, and immediately said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but I am not used to being served by others, so please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The king saw that Qiao Tianjing was serious, so he smiled and waved his hand.
"I think Mr. Qiao already has a good wife and concubine at home, so he doesn't look down on these vulgar people. It doesn't matter. It's hard to force someone to do something difficult, but it's not beautiful."
The dancers were ordered to leave, and Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing both breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally feel at ease...
Qiao Jiaojiao looked up and saw that in addition to the second and third princes, there were two beauties standing beside the king.
She suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten Nanliguo's style.
After all, even the "secret medicine of bliss" can become popular and become a means of entertainment for the princes and nobles. It can be seen that lust and pleasure are indeed put on the surface here.
Meng Guxue snorted secretly when she saw the extravagant scene in front of her. After much deliberation, she used the cover of the jade case in front of her to raise her hand and pinch Baili Chengyou!
Humph, they are all big pig hooves!
As expected, only the Qiao family has a clean family!
Baili Chengyou:?
Why pinch him? He is not interested in dancing girls.
At this time, the number of eldest princes in the crowd was the most exaggerated.
He didn't seem to shy away from the king. At this time, three dancers were surrounding him. One was pouring wine, the other was holding fruit, and the other was squeezing his shoulders, enjoying themselves to the fullest.
The king turned his head and saw this scene, he just smiled indulgently, without any intention of being harsh or disgusted.
In stark contrast to the eldest prince, there was no one around him at this time. The dancing girls seemed to know his rules, and no one dared to get close.
Qiao Jiaojiao saw it and exclaimed how novel it was.
[The three princes of Nanli Kingdom have very different personalities. The lord of the country favors the eldest prince more openly, but secretly tells the lord’s wife that he likes the third prince. 】
[This time it was obviously the lord's wife and the second prince who were rumored together, but the lord took action against the king's wife, but the second prince escaped unscathed. 】
[The water here is terrifyingly deep...]
