Chapter 729: A woman disguised as a man, a proton, and a foolish marquis (4)

Beiyi Kingdom, Imperial Palace.

At this time, the palace was brightly lit, the sound of stringed instruments was melodious, and the dancers were dancing gracefully, which was a beautiful sight.

The civil and military officials in the audience had already taken their seats. They were either whispering to each other or drinking from their glasses, or looking out the door from time to time, as if they were waiting for the arrival of some important person.

Not long after, the eunuch's sharp and piercing voice came from the hall: "Your Majesty has arrived..."

Upon hearing the voice, everyone immediately quieted down, stood up, straightened their clothes, and prepared to welcome the emperor.

The Emperor of Beiyi, wearing a gorgeous bright yellow dragon robe, strode up the steps and sat on his dragon throne.

Upon seeing this, all the civil and military officials immediately knelt down and saluted, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

The Emperor of the North Wing smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand for everyone to stand up.

After everyone was seated again, the Northern Wing Emperor raised his glass and said to everyone: "Although the celebration banquet for the war with the Southern Border Kingdom has ended, I still want to raise a toast with you, my dear ministers. I have seen your loyalty and dedication. In the future, I hope that you can continue to serve the country and make our Northern Wing Kingdom stronger."

After saying this, the Emperor of Beiyi drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"We will definitely do our best."

The civil and military officials were deeply moved after hearing what the emperor said.

This is the Majesty they rely on!

Look, how humble, how gentle, and how considerate he is to his subjects.

Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor.

These things are clearly their duties as subjects, but His Majesty has kept them in mind. How can this not move people?

Among the civil officials, some sentimental old officials have already secretly wiped away their tears.

Who knows?

They have gone through three dynasties. The first two were tyrants who would kill people at will. Now they have finally met a wise monarch who is respectful to others.

The only person who didn't fit in with the crowd was probably the man in the dark green robe.

His eyebrows were like distant mountains, his eyes were like bright stars, his lips were red and his teeth were white. He was as handsome as a banished immortal.

But at this moment he looked around, and seeing that no one noticed him, he secretly tore off the chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth impatiently, revealing a satisfied smile, as if he was not aware of the occasion at all.

The Emperor of Beiyi saw his movements out of the corner of his eye and raised the corners of his mouth without showing any expression.

After a few breaths, the third prince Yu Chen, who came from the Southern Border Kingdom, was mentioned.

The Emperor of Beiyi coughed lightly and said, "The Third Prince of Xuannan State."

After a stick of incense, the civil and military officials saw a handsome man in a tea-white brocade robe walking into the hall.

His lips were bright red and he had an androgynous face, looking like a goblin who had inhaled essence.

But his temperament was cold and aloof, and his whole body revealed a sense of alienation, which diluted his gorgeousness and made him look extraordinary and extraordinary.

Yu Yan walked to the center of the hall with big strides without looking around, then bowed slightly to the Beiyi Emperor who was sitting on the throne, and said calmly: "Yu Chen greets the Beiyi Emperor."

"No need for formalities, you are a guest from afar, please take a seat quickly, Third Prince!"

The Emperor of Beiyi had a gentle smile on his face, and he looked at Yu Yan with a kind look, as if he was looking at his junior.

However, at this moment, the Minister of Rites who was sitting next to him suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of sarcasm and provocation: "Third Prince, your etiquette seems to be a little lacking! This is your first visit to our emperor, you should kneel down and kowtow."

These words were like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing a thousand waves.

Everyone's eyes in the hall instantly focused on Yu Yan, and they were looking forward to how this foreign prince would respond.

Obviously, everyone was waiting to see a good show.

After all, for the princes of enemy countries, it is a common tactic to give the enemy a show of power when they first meet.

Yu Yan's face suddenly darkened, and she said in a cold voice: "Kneel down and pay homage? Apart from my father, no one else is worthy of me kneeling down and paying homage to him."

As she spoke, she looked at the Emperor of Beiyi and continued, "Fifty years ago, your country's retired emperor was held hostage in my southern border. When we first met, he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to my grandfather. My grandfather was so kind that he refused to let him. Your country's retired emperor was moved to tears.

Take your country's retired emperor as an example. Why does the Northern Wing Emperor now want me to kneel down and worship him? What's the reason? Is he bullying me because I am alone and far away from my homeland with no one to rely on?"

Emperor of the Northern Wing: “…”

Damn you, with your chatterbox, you're almost tearing off the face of his deceased father and throwing it on the ground and stepping on it.

Now you're asking if we're bullying him because he's far away from home and has no one to rely on?

Do you realize now that you are a hostage in another country?

The ministers looked at their Majesty's face, which was as black as pot ash, and wished they could crawl into the ground.

Oh my god, is this something they can listen to?

That would be bringing up the disgrace of the retired emperor!

Seeing the gloomy face of the Emperor of Beiyi, as if a storm was about to come, Yu Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Before leaving, my father told me that the Emperor of Beiyi is the most gentle. I think even if I did or said something, the Emperor of Beiyi would not care, right?"

Ministers: "..."

First he criticized me, then he praised me.

First he called himself "this master" all the time, and now he calls himself "me" and acts like a junior. He is really adaptable!

What else can I do? I can only smile and forgive, after all, His Majesty is the first to forgive and be kind.

As expected, after hearing what Yu Yan said, the Emperor of Beiyi adjusted his mood, put on a gentle smile again, and said, "Young people should be reckless and ignorant. All right, Third Prince, please take your seat! I have specially ordered people to prepare our Beiyi's fine wine and delicious food. You will definitely like it."

"Thank you, Emperor of the Northern Wing."

Yu Yan nodded and sat below the Emperor of the North Wing.

Everyone looked at each other, and after they had an understanding of the Third Prince, they continued to toast each other.

After the palace banquet ended, Yu Yan walked out with Hongye and two guards.

Hongye walked briskly and was in a good mood. She had thought that the Third Prince would be troubled at the palace banquet today, but she didn't expect that their Third Prince was so powerful and could easily resolve the problem.

Hehe, he really is worthy of the prediction of the national master, the person who can unify the world!

That’s right, the Third Prince Yu Chen would be able to unify the world. This was what the Imperial Preceptor said to the Emperor when he and the Fourth Princess Yu Yan were just born.

At that time, Hongye's aunt was a little palace maid, responsible for cleaning the imperial master's palace.

On the day when the third prince and the fourth princess were born, the imperial teacher sent someone to invite the emperor over.

He said: "When the Emperor Star descends, he will surely unify the world and create unprecedented achievements that will be passed down through the ages."

So, Hongye's aunt knew this big secret, but she was afraid of death and dared not tell it to anyone.

But he wanted to seize this opportunity, so he brought his niece, Hongye, to serve Concubine Shu.

Of course, Aunt Hongye told Hongye about this before she died.

But he asked her to swear and keep it to herself, and also explained the interests involved. Hongye was so scared that she nodded quickly and didn't dare to say another word.

In fact, Aunt Hongye’s worries were in vain. After all, Hongye was so timid that she would be scared to death if she knew about this matter. How could she dare to tell anyone?

Thinking of this, Hongye couldn't help but look at Yu Yan again.

The Third Prince is so handsome! He is indeed the future overlord.

At first, she didn't understand why her aunt kept trying to get her close to Concubine Shu, and even spent half her life savings to build relationships.

Later she found out and began to feel relieved.

Empress Shu Guifei is the future empress dowager, so we must hold on to her tightly.

Now, she has been sent by Concubine Shu to serve the Third Prince, which makes her even more powerful.

Although, Hongye didn't know why Concubine Shu didn't use the servant that His Highness used to use, but sent her here instead.

But this is exactly what she wants! This is the Third Prince.

Hongye secretly made up her mind to protect the Third Prince, even if it cost her her life.

After all, even if she died, she would definitely be posthumously honored!

Oh my, then she will have to write the first page of the family tree!

Yu Yan tilted her head and looked at the maid who was smiling silly, feeling a little helpless.

I knew what she was laughing at, and I was drooling with joy.

Yu Yan shook her head helplessly and continued walking forward.

As they walked, Hongye noticed that Yu Yan suddenly stopped and her eyes fell on a group of people not far ahead.

Following her line of sight, one could see in the distance a group of noblemen surrounding a man in a dark green robe.

The leading man looked at the ignorant man in front of him with a playful expression, and asked maliciously: "Hua Yanliang, do you want to be friends with us?"

At this moment, Hua Yanliang heard that someone wanted to make friends with him, his eyes lit up, and he nodded impatiently, "Yes, I want to be good friends with you."

"Since you want to be friends with us, then go and insult the third prince of the Southern Border Kingdom, then we can be friends." Ning Cheng continued to induce.

He is the nephew of the Queen and the youngest son of Duke Ningguo. He has a noble status, so he can gather so many noble children.

After hearing what he said, Hua Yanliang looked conflicted and said hesitantly, "But, but swearing is not good. Grandma said that those who swear are not good children."

Ning Cheng frowned impatiently when he saw how stupid he was. "The Third Prince is a bad guy. How many soldiers from our Northern Wing Kingdom have been killed by their Southern Border Kingdom? We are scolding him to avenge the dead soldiers."

Hua Yanliang seemed to understand something after hearing this and nodded, "I see, let's go and scold him together!"

As he said that, he was about to pull Ning Cheng to find the third prince.

Ning Cheng was irritated by his stupidity.

But thinking that this fool could still be useful, he patiently said, "We won't go, you go by yourself. This is our test for you. If you go and scold the Third Prince of the Southern Border Kingdom, you can be our friend."

"Is that so? All right then!"

Hua Yanliang seemed to understand, his clear and bright eyes flickered. Suddenly, he saw Yu Yan not far away, grinned, and ran towards her.

His action attracted the attention of Ning Cheng and others.

When they saw Yu Yan standing not far away, they thought something was not good, as they might have heard what they said.

But on second thought, the Third Prince is just a hostage, what can he do to them? This is the Northern Wing Kingdom.

Then, everyone saw Hua Yanliang trotting up to Yu Yan, looking at her innocently with his big eyes. Suddenly, he felt a little embarrassed and said shyly, "You, you are so pretty."

Ning Cheng and others: “???”

What the fuck are you saying?

I asked you to insult the Third Prince of the Southern Border Kingdom, not to praise him.

Ning Cheng and others were so angry looking at Hua Yanliang that they were almost dying.

It turns out that I can't rely on this fool to do anything.

He brought his men to Hua Yanliang, pretended to greet Yu Yan, then coughed violently a few times, staring straight at Hua Yanliang.

Hua Yanliang scratched his head in confusion, then he remembered what he had just promised.

He first looked at Ning Cheng, then at Yu Yan, with a troubled look on his face. He gritted his teeth and shouted at Yu Yan: "You good-looking bad guy."

Ning Cheng and others: “???”

Damn, this idiot.

A good-looking villain? Is that an insult?

Hongye: "..."

Who is this fool?

Where did it come from?

However, after Hua Yanliang thought he had finished scolding someone, his face turned pale, and he closed his eyes in fear, as if he was afraid of being beaten.

Yu Yan looked at him and slowly curled her lips, "Lord Hua, thank you for the compliment, you are also very beautiful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Yanliang's eyes opened again.

"You know me?"

Yu Yan smiled, "Lord Hua, I have heard of you. After meeting you today, you are indeed as innocent as the rumors said."

In the system space, Tuanzi nodded seriously.

That’s right, you are so good at pretending.

If I didn't know that he was a villain and was just pretending to be like this, I would have thought he was a fool!

No one in the entire Beiyi country doubted that he was not a fool, which showed how good Hua Yanliang was at pretending.

After Hua Yanliang heard Yu Yan's words, he suddenly laughed happily, and then said with some guilt: "You are a good person. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have listened to Ning Cheng and the others and scolded you."

Ning Cheng and others: "!!!"

Damn it, you big fool!!!

Just exposed it in front of them like this?

Hearing this, Yu Yan turned to look at Ning Cheng and asked coldly, "Prince Ning, do you have any problem with me? I just arrived in your Beiyi country and you found someone to insult me. Do you think I'm easy to bully? Or did someone else instruct you? In this case, I will ask your emperor if this is your way of entertaining guests."

Ning Cheng and others were all sweating profusely after listening to Yu Yan's conversation.

They really didn't expect that this fool Hua Yanliang would give them away so directly.

They were originally in the wrong in this matter. If this matter were brought to the attention of the emperor, he would certainly punish them in order to save his face.

Thinking of this, Ning Cheng smiled awkwardly, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is all misunderstanding, we definitely didn't ask Hua Yanliang to do this! And he is a fool, how can we believe a fool's words?"

Besides, Hua Yanliang didn’t scold me!

Good-looking bad guy, what kind of insult is that?
