Lin Jinan followed Chu Chengping and Chu Chengyi into the hall, sat down behind Lin Yanqing, and raised his eyebrows at Lin Jinyan and smiled.
Feeling another line of sight, Lin Jinyan glanced sideways, looked at Chu Chengping, and nodded slightly with a smile.
Chu Chengping leaned towards Chu Chengyi and whispered:
"What kind of medicine do you think Miss Lin is selling in this gourd? She asked Si Yao to give me a message before, and just now she asked Jin An to come to me and give her instructions again. What does she want me to do with the three royal brothers?"
Chu Chengyi was also confused: "I'll find out soon."
Lu Sang sat next to Xiao Chen, his stern eyes scratched Lin Jinan's face, and then rested on Gu Ruizhou.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, Zheng Cheng's voice sounded at the entrance of the palace. The emperor, the queen mother and others entered the hall in a grand manner. Listening to the loud greetings and birthday wishes, they sat down with satisfaction and called everyone.
The emperor raised his glass, said some words of ceremony, and drank three glasses with everyone.
A glass of wine to celebrate the birth mother’s birthday.
Two cups, may the weather be smooth and the country prosperous and the people strong.
Three cups, for all the emperor's ministers and envoys from the three countries are here today to celebrate their birthday.
As the emperor took the lead in offering birthday gifts, everyone took turns paying homage and offering birthday gifts according to their status and official positions, and the atmosphere in the palace was pushed to a climax.
In the past, great care was taken in preparing birthday gifts for the Queen Mother. This year, due to the presence of envoys from the Three Kingdoms, the value has been doubled, and rare treasures have emerged one after another. The Queen Mother received the gift with a rare sincerity in her smile.
Taking advantage of the high atmosphere in the palace, Xiao Chen stood up with a wine glass in hand and made a Mobei salute to the emperor:
"Your Majesty Tianchu, I came to Tianchu this time to wish the Queen Mother of Tianchu a birthday. Secondly, I also wanted to turn our hostility into friendship with Tianchu. Mobei and Tianchu are adjacent to each other, and the men in Mobei are more straightforward. There are frequent conflicts between the two countries in the north."
"Whether the two countries win or lose in the war, it will bring suffering to the people. Therefore, my king wants to marry Tianchu so that the two countries can coexist peacefully and there will be no more disputes."
When the emperor heard this, he felt that the power of Tianchu made Mobei look intimidated. He couldn't help but laugh a little heartily, and asked about the candidate for Xiaochen's marriage.
"Your Majesty also knows that the men in Mobei are used to being free and easy, and don't like so many mundane etiquette. Originally, the marriage between the two countries was supposed to be between the prince and the princess, but unfortunately His Highness Cheng Wang fell in love with an official lady at first sight, so he just inquired about it. Only then did I learn that this young lady is actually the granddaughter of General Gu..."
Before Xiao Chen finished speaking, countless people in the hall had changed their expressions, and Gu Lin's family had even darker expressions.
The emperor's heroic spirit that filled the sky just now was extinguished in his chest. Although he was still smiling, his eyes were dark and unclear.
"The most familiar people in Mobei are undoubtedly the Gu family, the generals of the Dingbei Army. It will be a good story if you can marry a junior of the Gu family. If your majesty agrees to this marriage, Mobei is willing to give you ten thousand taels of gold and ten thousand horses of the best." War horses are hired from four cities adjacent to the north."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, there were many sounds of breathing and whispering in the hall.
Although ten thousand taels of gold is a lot, it is not too tempting, but tens of thousands of Mobei's war horses can develop into a powerful fighting force. There are also four cities adjacent to the northern border, which can guarantee Tianchu's military strength. Advancing further towards Mobei.
For a moment, many eyes glanced at Lin Jinyan. When they saw the girl sitting upright with her eyes lowered, they couldn't help but sigh that the Mobei people were really capable of spending a lot of money.
