"snort!"
Queen Mother Li snorted coldly and walked away.
As soon as she left, Xiang Chong seemed particularly embarrassed.
He, the former minister of the regent and the current fifth-rank Yilang, is really not qualified to stand next to the dragon chair on the imperial steps.
Fan Li pointed to the last corner of the chaoban.
"Xiang Yilang, please go back to your seat and stand."
The fifth-grade Yilang is really a humble official.
Especially in the palace hall, he is not worth mentioning, and he barely stands in the last corner.
How could Xiang Chong endure such insult?
He gritted his teeth and said: "My king... I am suffering from a cold due to the cold. I am going to take sick leave today and will not attend the court meeting!"
After saying that, Xiang Chong turned around and left.
I saw that his steps were steady and powerful, as if every foot could break the floor. How could it be like an accidental cold?
But no one will keep him.
Xiang Ning, in particular, wished that this cheap brother would never go to court again.
The Queen Mother is gone.
Xiang rushed away.
The Great Chu Chaotang seemed to have returned to its normal state as in the past.
Xiang Ning's eyes turned into crescent moons as he stared at Fan Li happily.
"As expected, he still protects me."
Just as Xiang Ning was thinking this, he heard Fan Li sigh.
"Suppose there is no one left alone in the world. How many people will be called emperors and how many will be called kings?"
Xiang Ning:? ? ?
Baiguan:? ? ?
Is it useless to scold Xiang Ning in front of all the officials?
Fan Li didn't feel that he had said anything wrong and discussed court affairs seriously.
"Your Majesty is about to marry Princess Changle, and the identity of the envoy sent by the Han Emperor has been confirmed."
"Sikong Cao Cao is the chief envoy, and the left general Liu Bei and the hussar general Sun Quan are the left and right deputy envoys."
"When His Majesty gets married, these three people will represent the Han Dynasty and work with us to excavate the suspected tomb of Emperor Qin Mo."
Fan Li said, but shook his head in his heart.
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty really had no one to use. Whenever there was an important matter, he could only appoint Cao, Liu and Sun.
There is certainly nothing wrong with the cultivation and intelligence of these three people, but their loyalty...
Of course, Fan Li would not look at today's Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan with the stereotypes of past lives.
But last time in Lucheng, Emperor Han became furious because three people went to see Emperor Jiajing, and they were bumped into by the three people who returned.
The emperor's suspicion is the most important trigger for the disunity of his ministers.
Fan Li was really worried that even if Cao Liusun was a loyal minister in this life, he might not be able to remain loyal to the end.
In the next few days, Fan Li went to court every day.
Xiang Chong never appeared again, as if he had disappeared.
The Chu court seemed to have returned to its original state.
"The Han envoys Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan paid homage to the Emperor of Chu."
The three heroes of the late Han Dynasty finally arrived in Pengcheng and went to the Hajj.
Because of the marriage between Chu and Han, although the three of them were foreign ministers in terms of etiquette and law, Xiang Ning was considered half of their monarchs, so the three of them knelt down and worshiped.
Xiang Ning was in a good mood today. He was about to raise his hand to say goodbye, but saw the three people standing up turning to Fan Li.
"Meet Duke Jin."
The three of them actually took the initiative to kneel down to Fan Li.
Xiang Ning's right hand raised in mid-air looked particularly embarrassed at this moment.
"Three adults are exempt from the courtesy." Fan Li asked: "I heard that the motorcade of the three adults was very large. When the carriage in the front row arrived outside the palace, the carriage in the last row had just entered the east gate of Pengcheng?"
Cao Cao smiled and replied: "This is the dowry prepared by my emperor for Princess Changle. Although there are many gifts, they are far less than the deep friendship between Chu and Han."
Fan Li snickered in his heart.
Deep friendship?
When the Three Kingdoms were in dispute, the great ancestors of Chu and Han fought fiercely.
If Chu and Han had not become jealous of each other, the Ming Dynasty, which was the weakest at the time, would not have taken the opportunity to rise and found its country.
But of course Fan Li would not bring up things that were thousands of years old at this time.
Later, the three Han envoys took the initiative to invite Fan Li to accept the dowry.
Outside the palace, dowry vehicles lined up in a long queue, and dowry gifts were unloaded one by one.
"East China Sea dragon beads, Baishan snow ginseng, jade silk brocade...one hundred boxes."
"One hundred boxes of three-color deer antlers, fire bear gall bladders and various spiritual herbs and fruits."
Fan Li yawned and listened to a report from one of Cao Cao's subordinates. At the same time, people kept opening the dowry boxes to check the authenticity of the gifts.
The marriage between Chu and Han was a big deal, how could the dowry go wrong?
But this process had to be completed, which somewhat meant showing off his wealth, so Fan Li could only endure it.
By this time, the court meeting had ended.
The emperor returned to the palace and all the officials went to court.
Fan Li was just thinking about what to eat when he went home at night, when he saw a ghostly figure approaching him from a distance.
"Damn it, what does she want to do!?"
The person who came was none other than Xiang Ning, who had changed into the attire of a palace maid.
This stupid bitch thought Fan Li didn't see through her disguise.
On a whim, he took off his dragon robe and changed into palace clothes, wanting to watch the excitement with Fan Li! ?
Except for Fan Li, most of the people present were subordinates accompanying Han envoys.
They saw such a palace maid walking around freely in the Dachu Palace. Although they felt that she was a little unruly, they would not stop her.
"Long time no see, Duke Jin. Do you still remember Ning'er?"
Xiang Ning looked like a different person when she wore women's clothes.
He completely lost his self-esteem as an emperor, and his eyes were filled with stars as he faced the mountain of dowry.
Fan Li was speechless, thinking: You turned into ashes, and I know you too.
He nodded, and Xiang Ning became even happier.
After successfully talking to Fan Li, she can confidently appreciate Princess Changle's dowry.
"Wow! Those neon clothes are so beautiful, but they are a little thin and see-through. If you just wear them like this, don't you have to be seen naked?" Xiang Ning muttered in a low voice.
Fan Li said angrily: "Princess Changle is wearing it anyway, why do you care so much?"
"Oh my God! What a big East China Sea dragon bead. It's brighter than me... than the palace lanterns in this palace. It can be used for lighting at night!"
Xiang Ning saw another huge dragon bead, which emitted a soft and warm white light. He wanted to go up and play with it immediately.
Fan Li shook his head after hearing this.
If this bitch continues to have sex, she might reveal her true colors.
The Emperor of Chu was a woman, and then he wanted to marry Princess Changle of the Han Dynasty?
This is a complete marriage fraud!
Once it is made public, Han Emperor Liu Xie is so impatient that he may immediately break off diplomatic relations with the Chu State, and the two countries may even start a fight.
"Shut up, this is a place where you can talk casually? If you dare to say another word, I will slap you." Fan Li could only threaten.
Xiang Ning was so angry that she stamped her feet, but there was nothing she could do.
Who made her cross-dressing so 'perfect'? Now she is just a powerless little palace maid, and she can only stand by if she is really beaten.
After more than half a day, the gifts were finally counted.
Fan Li felt strange.
Although the dowry sent by the big man was large, the convoy needed to carry it seemed not enough to line up all the way from outside the palace to the city gate, right?
When he was wondering, he saw Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan walking towards him.
Cao Cao glanced at Xiang Ning, obviously he had something to say, but no one was allowed to be present.
At this time, it was impossible to push Xiang Ning away.
Fan Li said helplessly: "She is mine. The three Han envoys just say what they say."
The three of them gave a knowing smile that all men understand!
Cao Cao cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Jin, the three of us came to Chu State this time with heavy gifts, a total of one hundred and eight carts. Thirty-six carts of them are gifts as dowries, and they are all here. The remaining seventy-two carts are for my great man. All the respects expressed to Duke Jin have been sent to Fan Mansion."
