Chapter 1215 No One Can Catch up with You (4)

"It's true that Mr. Yuan is a veteran of the three dynasties. I also respect him as a man. I learned a lot from him, but every time he invites me over, he asks me to drink tea and play chess with him." Liu Zhixia said helplessly.

"Don't you maintain the relationship between officials by drinking tea, eating and playing chess?" the woman teased, not sympathizing with his experience, but rather gloating.

A man is a prudent man. The longer he stays in the officialdom, the harder it is to see his true emotions on his face, which can make him show helplessness. Old Yuan is also a strange person.

This topic was revealed, and when the woman lowered her eyes and couldn't see, a gleam of darkness quickly flashed across the man's eyes.

In Yuan Mansion, in the huge flower hall, the dinner has just been served.

A large square table for two people.

The old man with white beard and hair sat opposite to the young girl, eating quietly.

During the period, the girl raised her eyes several times to look at the old man's face, and finally couldn't help it anymore, and said softly, "Great-grandfather, didn't you ask someone to invite Mr. Liu, did he not come?"

"The King of Nanling is back, and he invited people to the palace first," the old man spoke slowly. He was too old, and his eyes seemed to be unable to open. He couldn't see the emotion in his eyes, but he could hear his dissatisfaction. "Hello, great-grandfather." It's easy to find a chess player who can play chess, hum, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

The girl smiled slightly, "How about Yuner accompany you to the next game?"

"You? Forget about your little chess skills. If you play chess with you, the old man will be angry."

"Strange rhyme is not good at chess."

"It's not good, I will be more diligent in the future."

"good."

The dinner fell silent, the great-grandfather and grandson didn't speak any more, the girl's eyes were half-downcast, and her mind was out of order.

On the sixth day of August, the delegation of Xiliang envoys arrived at the wharf in the suburbs of Beijing. The leader of the mission was Banian, the new emperor of Xiliang.

Nanling got the news in advance. Before the group of people went ashore, they sent someone to meet them in advance. They sent a palace eunuch, just one person, and several carriages.

Neither the Emperor Nanling nor the courtiers came.

After the Xiliang envoys went ashore, they looked at the empty pier and saw no one from the Nanling official, and their faces were livid with anger.

"Your Majesty, Nanling's behavior clearly despises me, Xiliang, and intentionally humiliates us!"

Ba Nian seemed not to be affected at all, and said calmly, "Now I am weak in Xiliang, and I want to ask others. It is normal for others to be arrogant. Let's go."

"Emperor Xiliang, all ambassadors, please get in the car." The eunuch of Nanling smiled but did not smile, but his tone was respectful.

Before coming here, the emperor specifically explained that he should not be too rude to the other party, but he must not treat the other party as a guest of honor, and he must combine the domineering and politeness of the master to fully demonstrate the prestige of our Nanling country.

He understands. He dare not say anything else, but when it comes to pretending to be coercive, he is well versed in this.

The carriage took the group of people to the post house, and after arranging them to stay, there was no further news.

The envoys were put on the air for three days, and on the third day, when they submitted the booklet again to ask for an interview, there was a verbal order to allow the Xiliang envoys to enter the palace for an audience.

Except for Ba Nian, the envoys were full of resentment.

They have never been out of Xiliang before, and they have never dealt with other dynasties. In the capital city of Xiliang, they were all high-ranking officials and ministers, and they were treated with courtesy and flattery wherever they went, and they had never been treated like this before.

It is inevitable that you will not be able to hold your breath.

Ba Nian didn't persuade them, nor stopped them from complaining.

Their dissatisfaction always needs someone to help spread it to Nanling Emperor's ears.

Although Xiliang is currently at a disadvantage, it cannot swallow everything.

When the envoys entered the palace, Feng Qingbai was still in the palace, painting with his little girl.

"You really don't want to go into the palace to have a look?"

"Need not."

"Ban Nian is a man of the city, so don't underestimate him. Xiao Feng'er may not have a chance of winning against him."

"If there is a city, he still has to ask for help." Feng Qingbai smiled, "Just let Xiao Feng'er receive him, I will go in person, I think highly of him."

Liu Yusheng was silent, she had never realized that a man had such an arrogant side before.

His eyes are higher than the top, and he still looks down on the Emperor Xiliang.

"When we were in Xiliang, we seemed to be hunted down by others."

"Occupying such a great geographical advantage, and using so much manpower and material resources, we were not able to keep us in Xiliang." The man raised his eyes and stared at Liu Yusheng quietly, "What do you think is so good about him?"

"..." Are you jealous like this? Liu Yusheng flattered him calmly, "Speaking of which, I really don't think he is so good, he can't catch up with my husband in anything."

"Where is where?"

"It's too much. I don't look as good-looking as my husband, my eyes are not as narrow as my husband, my nose is not as tall as my husband's, my lips are not as beautiful as my husband's, my body is not as tall as my husband's, my temperament is not as elegant as my husband's, and my brain is not as good as my husband's." My husband is smart, but his kung fu is not as advanced as my husband..."

The flattering was smooth, but the man narrowed his narrow eyes, "You look so carefully?"

"I'm looking at you, no one can catch up with you."

"Keep that in mind in future."

"Must be remembered."

Only then did the man lower his head again, his hands kept moving, and his sketching movements were smooth, "I'm done with things this time, can I take you to the Red Maple Forest?"

"Okay, let's go to the osmanthus forest by the way?"

"Yeah." She likes it, and she can go anywhere with her.

Sitting in one position for a long time, Liu Yusheng couldn't hold back, stretched her neck to look at the painting in front of the man, it was her in the painting, simple black ink on white paper, a simple sketch, but it brought her charm to life on paper The above is lifelike.

Especially the eyes, which are vivid and full of emotion, seem to be looking at the painter.

After finishing the last stroke, Liu Yusheng only had time to appreciate it. After the man dried the ink on it, he carefully rolled up the painting and put it in a wooden box on the bookshelf behind him.

Taking a closer look, there are many scrolls inside.

"You draw a lot? What are you drawing? Show me."

The man reached out and easily pushed down the woman who was peeking on tiptoe, "The picture is all about you, if you want to see it, you can look in the mirror."

Liu Yusheng wrinkled her nose and bared her teeth at the man, still hiding it, so mysterious. Find a chance for her to come over and take a peek by herself.

"There will be a palace banquet in the evening. I will come back after staying for half an hour. You don't have to wait for me to eat."

"I don't need to go?"

"You are not allowed to bring female relatives."

Liu Yusheng nodded, she actually didn't like this kind of entertainment either.

The palace banquet started at night, but Feng Qingbai came late, when he arrived, the banquet hall was already full of people, just waiting for him to start the banquet.

All the powerful and important ministers in the court, all accompanied by their female relatives, came to meet the occasion.

With female relatives around, the atmosphere will be more relaxed, preventing men from only talking about state affairs when they get together.

"Uncle Huang, where is Aunt Huang? Why didn't you bring her along? I... I specially ordered the imperial chef to make her favorite emerald balls."

Feng Qingbai took his seat, looked at Xiliang Huangba who was toasting him from a distance, and said, "She doesn't like to make noise, so she won't come, let's have a feast."

Sure enough, it was past twelve o'clock. Although it was a little late, it was considered to have made up. Little fairies, see you tomorrow.
