Chapter 1319 The Treacherous Minister

The lights are on.

The light moon in the sky has just climbed up, and the palace lanterns have been lit everywhere in the palace, which is magnificent.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is brightly lit, singing and dancing.

The envoys from various small countries who came to pay tribute exchanged cups and chatted happily.

When Yuan Yunqiao arrived at the main hall, the dancing girl had just stepped back.

In the main hall, apart from the tribute envoys from the vassal states, there were also many high-ranking officials from Nanling.

Such as the cabinet minister, the minister of the six departments, and the university scholar Liu Zhixia who is about to enter the cabinet.

Turning her gaze away from Liu Zhixia's body without a trace, Yuan Yunqiao went to bow in front of the hall, "My concubine kowtows to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Pingshen." On the high seat, Feng Mohan pretended to introduce to the envoys, "This is a talented person who has just been drafted into the palace. She is also a leader among the aristocratic families in the capital. This time, I will let Yuan Cairen show off her talents and open your eyes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, so we must appreciate it, hahaha!"

All the envoys immediately agreed, especially when they heard Feng Mohan say that the woman was the great-granddaughter of the Nanling Three Dynasties patriarchs, they cast more eyes on her and praised her falsely.

Liu Zhixia picked up the wine glass and sipped it lightly, her eyes seemed to pass by the person who answered first, and then looked away.

The zither zither sounded, flowing clouds and flowing water, and the rhythm was beautiful.

The sound of the piano is beautiful, and the beauty who plays the piano is also beautiful.

Light yellow neon clothes, slender and graceful, with slender fingers playing the piano.

Hearing and watching are all mesmerizing.

Yuan Yunqiao was among the top ten women selected this time, so she had this opportunity to show herself in front of the emperor.

Those eyes that fell on her as if they were glued to her body showed her success.

But in the same way, some people like it, and some people don't know whether they like it or not.

Like the emperor sitting on a high seat, like Liu Zhixia quietly tasting wine with downcast eyes.

The faces of both of them were indifferent, showing no emotion for Yuan Yunqiao's display.

After one song, the hall was full of applause.

The emperor flicked his sleeves and waved Yuan Yunqiao back.

The moment she turned around and left the hall, Yuan Yunqiao felt humiliation in her heart, and her eyes flickered coldly when she looked at the front.

She is the great-granddaughter of the elders of the three dynasties, and a well-known noble daughter in the capital, but here, in front of the emperor, she is a plaything that can come and go when she is called.

It's not a show of talent, it's humiliation.

Which noble lady who has not left the cabinet will show herself in full view and be judged by others?

That's what a brothel prostitute would do!

Behind him, the bustle was still there, and envoys from all over the world complimented the emperor frequently. But those voices fell in Yuan Yunqiao's ears, but they seemed to be sarcasm, piercing her heart with pain.

The emperor did it on purpose, Liu Zhixia did it on purpose!

They are using this method to damage her pride!

"How?" Feng Mohan leaned slightly to ask Liu Zhixia while the attention of the people around was on the new dancer.

As the emperor's most trusted and closest minister, Liu Zhixia sat in the first position under Feng Mohan's hands, with only one person's walking distance between them, enough for the two of them to whisper something that others could not hear.

"Those who are arrogant will lose their minds." Liu Zhixia smiled, held up the wine glass and toasted the person opposite.

Feng Mohan didn't continue to ask further questions, he savored Liu Zhixia's words just now, and chuckled twice, "Why are you so arrogant, it's clear that you think highly of yourself."

He had never met Yuan Yunqiao before, and he had never even heard of her name.

It was the first time he had heard of this name when some rumors came from outside the palace that it was related to Uncle Zhixia.

At that time, he still ridiculed Xia Shuwang Taohua.

Looking at it now, the rotten peach blossoms are almost the same.

The beautiful girl who has already entered the palace is equivalent to being stamped with the emperor's label, but after Yuan Yunqiao entered the palace just now, her eyes fell on Liu Zhixia quietly several times, and she thought she didn't know anyone.

How many fools can sit in this temple? Due to the occasion and the identity of the other party, it's hard to say anything.

Tsk, I didn't expect that he, Feng Mohan, would have a day of being cuckolded in full view.

"This time I sacrificed a lot, so I have to increase it."

"The minister is poor, and I can't afford it anymore."

"I don't want your money, how poor are you? The monthly salary is enough for ordinary people to eat for a year, and I haven't counted the dividends given to you by the emperor's aunt! Cry poor in front of me!" Mo Han snorted coldly.

Aunt Huang has cooperated with Qian Wanjin for more than ten years, and has put the Qian family on the throne of the richest man in Nanling. Does she really hold less money than the Qian family?

not necessarily.

Aunt Huang just made a fortune silently.

Rich people don't go around saying they are rich.

On the contrary, the rich love to cry poor.

"Your Majesty, this subject is Feng Yi, the second prince of Fengyue Kingdom. This time I came to Nanling in person, one is to deliver tribute, and the other is because I have heard about the Emperor's name for a long time, and I really want to make friends. I will take this opportunity to come and see the beauty of the sky. Your subject is here. Toast the emperor with a glass of wine in person!" Someone stood up from the table, holding a wine glass with a loud accent.

"My Nanling and the surrounding countries have always been friendly neighbors. I am also very happy to get to know you and promote the harmonious relationship between the two dynasties. Come, raise your glasses and have fun with me tonight!" Feng Mohan He raised his glass to the people present and drank the wine in one gulp.

"The emperor is refreshing! We will have fun with you!"

"The emperor has such courage at such an age, good! Have fun with you!"

Feng Mohan laughed heartily, "Come here, continue to serve wine!"

Liu Zhixia sat in his original position, quietly watching the young man and the people present having a drink, his eyebrows were light.

Neither dissuade nor help.

During the period, Feng Mohan winked at him several times, but he pretended not to see it.

The emperor was drunk and someone helped him back to the palace, and he was going to sleep in the study when he got home drunk.

How could it be possible to block the wine for the emperor?

Anyway, there are many people around who take this job, and there is no shortage of him.

Feng Mohan glared at Liu Zhixia from behind his robe sleeve while binge drinking. This was supposed to be the time for him to show his loyalty in front of the officials, but he didn't want the opportunity, so he ran away?

Be unfaithful when you should be loyal, and treacherous when you should not be treacherous.

Feng Mohan secretly kicked a certain uncle into the ranks of treacherous ministers in his heart, and he was number one.

Liu Zhixia pretended not to see the emperor's villainous expression, while enjoying the wine leisurely, he quietly looked at the envoys in the whole hall.

He has just been an official in the capital for two years, and he has never seen any of these people present, and it is precisely because he has never seen them that he can feel the subtle changes in the eyes of these people more clearly.

They would come to Nanling to pay tribute in person, largely because they were shocked by the Xiliang incident. Apart from coming to see Nanling's current strength in person, he also desperately wanted to deepen the relationship between the two dynasties.

In the past, the strength of the four major powers in the entire continent was between equals.

However, since Xiliang was stepped down by Nanling, eight cities were expanded, and the friendly relationship with Dongyue and Beicang was revealed, the momentum of Nanling has become unstoppable.
