In the prince's palace.
Liu Mo was upset by the sound of drums. From the musician's balcony in the hall, the wailing of the flute, the trilling of the xun, the shrieking of the guqin and the roar of the horn could all be heard at the same time, but the most disturbing thing was the sound of the drum, which gave him goosebumps all over his body.
Miscellaneous tunes echoed in the room. At first, Liu Mo questioned whether the eldest prince was deaf and could tolerate such terrible and bad music.
But later, Luo Shou told him the truth. These so-called musicians were not professional musicians at all, but subordinates of the eldest prince.
"So, tonight's banquet is basically a banquet for the eldest prince to entertain his subordinates, and by the way, the Xingluo envoy can have a meal!" Liu Mo thought to himself, "What a fucking bully!"
Not only that, the seats were arranged so that even Liu Mo couldn't stand it.
The senior generals under the eldest prince were separated from Liu Mo by the entire hall. Daxia regarded the east as the most respected place. Therefore, these senior generals sat on the east side, only one seat lower than the high platform where the eldest prince himself sat.
Liu Mo, Luo Shou and other officials from the Ministry of Rites were in the west, while Zhao Da and Tang Qingfeng were guarding behind. And all the Xingluo envoys, including Princess Xingluo, were arranged at the entrance of the hall.
Not only that, some envoys were even arranged to sit outside the hall with the servants of the prince's palace.
As for the dishes, Liu Mo was even less able to complain.
The eldest prince, like a general, eats chicken, duck, fish, and delicacies from the mountains and seas. The first dish of Xingluo Envoy is stir-fried bean sprouts.
Then came the white radish, cucumber and unknown green leafy vegetables, a mountain of winter pickles, and a mung bean soup that went cold before it was served.
How are these things worthy of entertaining envoys?
Out of etiquette, Liu Mo and Luo Shou went to toast and taste a few dishes, but felt their stomachs were churning.
Prince Xingluo and Ayina did not complain at all and ate meticulously, which made Liu Mo even more unhappy!
The eldest prince sat in the center. He was tall and tall. His face had wrinkles left by the years and thin eyebrows. He had eyes as dark as eternal night, and his nose and forehead were very pointed. The black hair is shiny, but there are a few silver strands.
Since the dinner began, he had been shouting and laughing at his subordinates below, laughing loudly with their answers, but he never looked at the Star Luo envoy next to him from the beginning to the end.
After about an hour, one of the half-drunk generals stood up, holding a jar of wine, and staggered to Prince Xingluo. "Come on, do one!" he said.
Prince Xingluo smiled, stood up politely, and handed over the wine glass in his hand.
However, the general did not appreciate it and deliberately shook the wine jar while pouring the wine. The wine in the jar splashed all over Prince Xingluo.
"drink!"
Without apologizing or smiling, the general picked up the wine jar and took a big gulp.
King Xingluo showed a bitter smile and drank the wine in the cup.
"Hahaha!" the general laughed, "Brothers, do you want to see what a drowned rat is?"
Good guy, what do you want to do? Liu Mo felt uneasy!
The next second, something happened that made Liu Mo furious.
I saw the general lifting the wine jar over Prince Xingluo's head, shining it on his head, and poured the wine down.
It was already the end of November, Jizhou was in the north of Daxia, and the weather was very cold.
The water washed over his face, soaked into his hair, stung his eyes, flowed down his chin, and wet his clothes. "How do you feel, Prince Xingluo?" the general laughed.
This jar of wine was like a sword of wind and frost, piercing the chests of all the envoys of Xingluo.
"Hahahaha!" The eldest prince's generals burst into laughter, sharp and cruel, like whipping with a whip.
Prince Xingluo's eyes almost burst out with fire. He wiped his face with his sleeves and blinked, trying to clear his vision again. With a bitter smile, maybe he had already expected it before setting off.
A weak country has no diplomacy! This moment is the best proof.
"This is very inappropriate." Liu Mo heard Luo Shou say quietly.
"That's not what you said, my lord." Prince Xingluo didn't want to make a bigger embarrassment and couldn't be here in front of all the Xingluo envoys. "Not every lord is willing to come and offer the envoy a glass of wine in person. .Unfortunately, the wine was spilled.”
"I didn't spill it! I'm not here to toast you!" The general didn't understand the steps Prince Xingluo provided for him. "But since you said toast, can you help me pour the wine?"
"I'm honored." Prince Xingluo said.
"This is not an honor!" the general screamed. "Pick up the wine glass."
Prince Xingluo obeyed silently and stretched his hand towards the ear of the cup. Unexpectedly, the general kicked the cup over. "Pick it up! You Xingluo idiot is really stupid!"
Prince Xingluo crawled under the table and found something.
"Great, now pour me some wine!"
Prince Xingluo grabbed the wine jug from a palace maid and filled the wine glass two-thirds full.
"No, kneel down!" the general continued.
"That's enough!" Liu Mo couldn't bear it any longer, "What kind of status do you have that you want Prince Xingluo to kneel down to you?"
The general turned his head and looked at Liu Mo with angry eyes.
"You go down." The eldest prince spoke in a precise tone that was not affected, "This brother of mine has no sense of propriety in joking. Envoy of Xingluo, I still hope to see Haihan!"
Prince Xingluo didn't speak, he just smiled and returned to his seat.
"Damn, that's it? I..." Liu Mo was about to get up, but was held back by Luo Shou.
"Master Liu, calm down! This farce will be over soon!"
soon? Finish? Liu Mo sneered, "Master Luo, this is just the beginning."
As Liu Mo expected, the eldest prince's connivance made his men even more unscrupulous.
After a while, another bearded general came to Ayina drunkenly and said: "I heard that you are a good dancer. Come on, dance for me!"
There is no honorific, no discussion, just like a master calling a maid!
Ayina first raised her head and glanced at the other party, then forced a smile and said, "If you adults are happy, the little girl has made a fool of herself!"
Then she stood up and slowly walked to the center of the hall.
Although she tried her best to keep a smile, Liu Mo saw a tear flowing down her face. She tried her best to hide her tears because she knew all too well the mission of this trip.
I saw her taking a deep breath, and suddenly her sleeves were fluttering open, and the sleeves were dancing, as if countless petals were floating down in the sky, swaying, each petal holding strands of agarwood.
She... dances so beautifully! Liu Mo sighed.
However, at this moment, the bearded general walked up to Ayina in a very disgraceful manner.
"Look, this girl can dance really well!"
As he spoke, he pressed his body that smelled of alcohol obscenely against Ayina's delicate body.
Seeing this, the other generals burst into laughter.
One general even said some obscene words, "Hahaha, Lao Feng, I bet you don't dare to touch her!"
"Pinch her pussy! If you feel like it, just pinch her!"
"What's the point of that? I heard that all Xingluo women have two doors. How interesting it would be to go in and take a look!"
"That's right, both doors are very strong, and things aren't big enough to get through!"
The hall burst into laughter again.
At this time, a tall general jumped on the table and boasted about his "thing", "My thing is big enough! You can definitely get in." He announced, "Your Highness, why don't you go tell your Majesty and let him Give me this girl?"
"Old Hu, this girl hasn't been tested. If she's not a young girl, she'll be at a huge loss!"
"It doesn't matter, I don't like inexperienced chicks!"
"Hahaha, what do I want to do too?"
A group of people started making noises, "Your Highness, I want it too, I want it too!"
And that's not even the most outrageous thing.
Then, several generals swarmed to the center and took the lead, being extremely drunk. They surrounded Ayina, and some even started to act recklessly.
No matter how strong she was, no matter how mentally prepared she was, Ayina could not hold on when she saw such a group of villains with malicious intentions.
she cried, fear in her eyes.
I'm drafting it! Liu Mo couldn't bear it anymore.
However, it was Luo Shou who was the first to say, "Stop, stop it all!" He shouted, "We, Daxia, are a country of etiquette, how dare you do this!"
