After waiting at the inn, the frustrated eldest prince of the East China Sea Mermaid finally received his order, ordering them to go to court to pay homage the next morning.
After receiving the order, the eldest prince's expression was still solemn.
The envoy looked at his prince's mouth and comforted him: "Your Highness, please don't be anxious. There is still hope that the Queen will agree to receive us."
"Hope? What hope? Marry me? How is it possible? Didn't you see that the Queen's imperial decree when she appointed the emperor spread all over the world? She is a god, how can she take us, the mermaid clan, seriously? "The eldest prince said, "Poseidon, you are really our good Poseidon. You dare to use the Ruyi Pearl to overcome the tribulation. It's really abominable."
"The matter has come to this, there is no other way, and we have no other solution." The envoy said: "Your Highness, what did the high priest say to you this time?"
"There are three ways. The first is to be accepted by the Queen as a noble king and give birth to a new Poseidon. But this way may not work and the Queen cannot agree. The second way is to sneak into the Phoenix Temple and steal the Phoenix Divine Essence. This has It may be successful, but the risk is extremely high. I can't talk about the third method." After the eldest prince finished speaking, he stopped talking and stared at his fingers in a daze.
But the envoy saw the viciousness in his master's eyes. This master was different from others since he was a child. He was ruthless but thoughtful. He was brought up by the high priest and was deeply appreciated by the high priest. However, the high priest was also the same person as the eldest prince. The envoy rolled his eyes. This couldn't be done. The third method mentioned is definitely not a good thing. It may be a matter of losing your head. You must leave yourself a way out to avoid being implicated. The Queen of the God Clan is no ordinary person. You must prepare yourself early.
The two people in this room were silent. They were each thinking of their own plans, and for a while they had their own secrets.
In the early morning of the next day, after the court bell rang, the morning court began. The eldest prince and envoys of the Sharman tribe were finally led into the Zhaoyang Palace by the Minister of Rites.
On the high seat, the royal goddess, dressed in a dragon robe, was looking at the people below with lowered eyes. Just that one look made the eldest prince of the Shark Race stunned. The Shark Race was born with the aura of the sea and was already the most beautiful creature in the world. But when he saw the Queen of the God Clan, he discovered something. It's beauty.
Her beauty is aura, majesty, magnificence, solemnity, tenderness and fortitude, that flawless face, those extremely agile eyes, and the golden sparkle around her neck. The phoenix, accompanied by her radiant crown, sets off the majesty that cannot be underestimated, exudes the alluring magnificence, and tells the story of unparalleled grace.
The eldest prince of the sharks was stunned for a long time, and then he came back to his senses amidst the singing of the ceremonial officers, and knelt down to the queen who was sitting high up: "The sharks of the East China Sea Leng Xiaoran pays homage to the queen of the gods. Long live your majesty. Long live long live.”
Nalan Fengjin lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell on Leng Xiaoran's green head without a trace of color. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said slowly in a voice that was completely devoid of any emotion: "Pingsheng."
After hearing this, Leng Xiaoran stood up and looked up at Nalan Fengjin who was sitting on the high seat, but saw that she still had her eyes lowered, unable to see any emotional changes, and there was no expression on her beautiful face. The atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward for a while.
Nalan Fengjin waved his hand: "Luo Shangshu, if you continue to receive foreign ministers, do you still need me to teach you?"
When Luo Jinli was called by his master, he was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "The envoy from the East China Sea is presenting."
The envoy knelt down again, holding a delicate box in his hand. He opened it gently, and colorful light flowed out: "This is the most precious treasure of the Shark Clan, a glazed bead, specially presented to Her Majesty the Queen."
Xuan Ruo on the side was just about to reach out and pick it up when he heard a voice: "Glazed beads are made by gouging out the eyes of the South China Sea sharks, but such a bloody thing is said to be a treasure? Sir envoy, are you trying to entertain my emperor?"
Nalan Fengjin raised his eyes and saw that it was Nalan Hanyi who was speaking, and couldn't help but smile.
Then Nalan Hanqi also spoke: "Killing the South China Sea sharks and gouging out their eyes, your hobby is a bit strange."
Nalan Fengjin shook his head in a funny way. The two of them were the most unhappy with Donghai's marriage this time. Nalan Fengjin was actually very confused. In this matter, the most unhappy person should be Xu Yan. Why are you two unhappy?
The envoy was even more embarrassed when he heard this.
Nalan Fengjin raised his hand, and the glazed beads flew up. It fell into Nalan Fengjin's hand. Nalan Fengjin pinched the bead with the index and middle fingers of his right hand. He looked at the light and found that the bead was brilliant and crystal clear. Then he smiled and said, "Bloody is bloody." It's a little bloody, but it's still a treasure, let's play with it." With that, he put the glass bead in Nalan Xuyan's hand.
Leng Xiaoran narrowed his eyes when he saw this scene. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was not because of the bead, but because of the empress's expression when she looked at the empress, that smile was so bright.
Nalan Fengjin turned around and said again in a voice that could not hear emotion: "Tell me, what do you want? Let's see if I can meet the needs of the guests who have come from afar."
"The eldest prince of our family has admired the grace of Her Majesty the Queen since he was a child, so he traveled thousands of miles just to serve Her Majesty the Queen. Even being a concubine is a blessing to our family." The envoy knelt down and spoke again.
"Well, I have admired you since I was a child. Envoy, are you not telling the truth? I was not in the palace when I was a child. I have been away from Beijing for fifteen years, and even my own parents thought that I died in a foreign country. You But you say you admire me, how do you say you admire me? Do you admire that little girl who was about to die of illness?" Nalan Fengjin said this in a tricky way. The fact that she was seriously ill and came out of Beijing was exaggerated by Du. Rumors spread all over the world. Before she appeared in public, no one in the court knew that she was still alive. The whole Tianque even thought she was dead. When the envoy said he admired him, what did he admire? He admired a "dead man"?
The envoy was choked by Nalan Fengjin, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel sad, what a powerful woman.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty is the Queen. I, Donghai, am willing to serve the Queen forever." Leng Xiaoran knelt down.
"Well, this is pretty cool." Nalan Fengjin nodded, and then continued: "Concubine, ah, I just want to be a concubine. I feel a little wronged, Your Highness."
"Being able to serve the Queen is a great blessing for me." Leng Xiaoran said.
"Well, you are a sensible person." Nalan Fengjin's voice still contained no emotion: "There is just one thing that I need His Highness to answer my questions about."
"Your Majesty, please speak." Leng Xiaoran said.
"Can Donghai receive the edict for my ascension to the throne?" Nalan Fengjin asked.
"Return to your majesty, and the whole world will benefit from your majesty's grace." Leng Xiaoran said.
"Since you share Mu Zhen's favor, why did your highness resist the decree?" Nalan Fengjin said this with a hint of coldness in his voice.
"Your Majesty, why did you say this? I am terrified." Leng Xiaoran said in horror.
"It seems that my edict was not written clearly. This is my fault." Nalan Fengjin smiled slightly: "Then I will go to the trouble of saying it again: My emperor and empress is Nalan's Xuyan. You. If you don’t understand, I’ll explain it more clearly. Nalan Xuyan is my only empress, and I won’t have a harem. Do you understand me?” When Nalan Fengjin said this, he leaned forward and stared intently. Staring into Leng Xiaoran's eyes.
When Leng Xiaoran met her eyes, Nalan Fengjin smiled, but Leng Xiaoran shuddered for no reason.
"You have come all the way. I won't make it difficult for you. You can stay in the palace and I will do my best to be a landlord. As for your affairs, if you want to tell me when you want to, come see me again." Nalan Fengjin stood up and said: " Luo Jinli, you are so kind to receive His Royal Highness the eldest prince." Then he smiled and stretched out his hand to Nalan Xuyan, pulling him out of the palace without looking back.
"Your Majesty withdraws from the court." Li Yu's voice came.
After all the ministers knelt down and worshiped, they also left one after another.
Leng Xiaoran was stunned. What did the queen mean by her last words? Did she know anything?
