Chapter 84 It’s Really Ridiculous

"I remember that the Nan Zhao envoy came to Yong State for help. Why does it seem like we are asking for help?" Princess Pingyao turned to look at the Prime Minister You, "Xie Tinglan, you Are you sure we are not the ones who lose the battle?"

Xie Tinglan calmly handed over his hands as a gift: "Please rest assured, eldest princess, I will never dare to deceive the regent and the eldest princess at the expense of the safety of our family and country. Besides, if we have anything to ask for, it should be our envoys who go to Nan Zhaocai." yes."

"Oh." Princess Pingyao chuckled, "I thought that Nan Zhao's 800,000-strong army was pressing down on the border and was planning to give us a disincentive."

"Nothing."

They sang and coordinated very well, which made Nan Zhao's envoys look embarrassed, and they all looked at Marquis Zhongyong with scornful expressions.

Han Xun's face turned even more ugly.

He used to be a person who was very good at disguising and hiding, but after the eldest princess Zhaohua married him, she became seriously ill and rested, and was never able to go out to lead troops in war.

He no longer needs to live under her halo, no longer needs to be forbearing and pretending.

He had just been proud of himself for the past two years, but he didn't expect...

"The Marquis is a rough man and doesn't know how to speak. Please forgive me, the eldest princess." Mr. Ji, who had just been scolded, apologized, "We are sincerely here to make friends with the Yong Kingdom, and we dare not be disrespectful to the eldest princess."

Han Xun took a deep breath, with a smile on his face: "Yes, I just spoke rashly, please forgive me, Princess."

"I don't take it to heart, princess." Princess Pingyao smiled faintly, with a hint of condescending contempt. "Since you are a rough man, we will deal with it later in a rough man's way. You can choose the location and the weapons." , how about a three-hundred-round battle?”

Han Xun clenched the wine cup: "I'd rather be respectful than follow——"

"The Prince Regent has arrived! The Princess Regent has arrived!" High-pitched singing and cheering suddenly sounded in the hall.

All the officials put down their wine glasses and stood up to greet him. Nan Zhao's envoys also stood up.

When entertaining envoys at a state banquet, it is rare in any country for the official host to arrive late and wait for the envoys to line up to greet him.

Han Xun's dissatisfaction deepened. Although he knew that Nan Zhao's current national strength was not as good as that of Yong, they had requests from others and should lower their posture.

But the regent of Yong State was really arrogant.

The Duke of Zhen Guo was among the ministers. He was standing with the prime ministers on his left and right. He lowered his eyes to greet the arrival of the regent and the princess. His eyes fell on Shen Ning's face, and a complex color flashed across his eyes.

Ji Yucang and Shen Ning came side by side and walked through the center of the hall.

Ji Yucang's face was cold, dignified and intimidating, and his python robe made him look dignified and intimidating.

Shen Ning has a stunning appearance and a condensed aura. Although her daughter's figure is much slender and smaller, she is not inferior to Ji Yucang in aura.

How could an ordinary woman of her age have such momentum?

Duke Zhen Guo's eyes flashed with deep thought, and he felt that Shen Ning had changed too much during this period and was not the daughter he knew before.

Han Xun's eyes fell on Shen Ning, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he also felt that Shen Ning's aura was too strong, and even felt an inexplicable and strange feeling of familiarity.

Ji Yucang and Shen Ning walked to the front and sat down at the main seat without saying a word.

The moment she saw Han Xun, Shen Ning's hands hanging on her sleeves had already been clenched tightly. Hatred swept through her heart, and she could hardly restrain the urge to cut him into pieces.

"Everyone, please sit down." Ji Yucang glanced slightly and glanced over Han Xun's face, "Is this the famous Zhongyong Marquis of Nanzhao, the consort of the Princess of War?"

The atmosphere in the main hall was tense.

Han Xun's face froze, and there was incomprehensible embarrassment on his face.

Although no one knows what he is embarrassed about...oh no, Princess Pingyao knows.

"Uncle Emperor." She spoke lazily, "This Zhongyong Marquis from Nanzhao is indeed famous, but he said, 'My wife is deceased and I don't want to mention it.' This sentence of the Emperor's uncle touched on his pain point. "

"What?" Shen Ning raised her gaze slightly, her eyes pointed straight at Han Xun like sharp knives, "Does it embarrass you to mention your wife? Doesn't Marquis Zhongyong not want to admit that he got his title through his wife?"

The ridicule and malice in this sentence were completely unconcealable.

The Nan Zhao envoys all looked at Shen Ning in astonishment. They didn't understand how the Princess Regent of Yong State could be so hostile to them when they met for the first time.

Don't they want to help Nan Zhao?

Duke Zhen Guo was also shocked and looked at Shen Ning in disbelief, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Does she know what the occasion is today? With the important ministers of both countries here, it was her turn for a female prostitute to talk nonsense here?

"The Princess Regent has misunderstood." Han Xun's face was mixed with blue and white, and his smile looked extremely stiff. "I don't want to deny my wife's ability, but she is no longer here, and I want to give her some peace."

"Really?" Shen Ning smiled coldly, "The Princess God of War is famous far and wide. Generals from all over the world have heard of her reputation. Even if Marquis Zhongyong doesn't want to mention it, he can't stop others from praising her."

A flash of anger flashed in Marquis Zhongyong's eyes, and he lowered his eyes and said coldly: "The princess is right, I am too narrow-minded."

"I, the princess, are both women. I would also like to ask, is your title based on your own ability, or is it based on the merits of Princess Zhaohua?" Shen Ning stared at him for a moment, her eyes as sharp as Look at using a knife to poke through his inner defense and his fragile self-esteem, "If Marquis Zhongyong really loves his wife, I hope you will answer this question truthfully."

Han Xun was extremely angry and didn't understand why they kept pursuing the issue of Princess Zhaohua from the very beginning.

That bitch is dead!

She's dead!

What's there to say about a dead person?

He tightened his hand around the wine cup, not daring to openly break up with the Regent of Yong State, so he could only squeeze out a smile from his teeth: "My wife has made outstanding contributions. She has made great contributions to Nanzhao in the seven years of war, but she has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, which has caused her injuries, so..."

"It's ridiculous." Princess Pingyao suddenly sneered, "It turns out that Nanzhao Zhongyong Hou is a person who doesn't understand what people say. He doesn't even understand what the Regent Princess asked. How can such a person be sent to us for marriage? Envoys, you should pack up and go back. If such a person can be named "loyal and brave", I'm afraid that after the death of the war goddess Princess, Nanzhao will only have a group of old and weak soldiers, and there is no need for marriage at all."

After the voice fell, Han Xun's face was completely frozen.

The other envoys of Nanzhao looked at each other, feeling uneasy for a while.

However, they had something to ask of others, so they naturally wouldn't get angry because of being laughed at.

Another middle-aged man in black armor put down his teacup and spoke to ease the atmosphere: "You may not know, Princess Regent, Princess Zhaohua has made great military achievements and is a rare and extraordinary woman in Nanzhao. However, Marquis Zhongyong himself is not incompetent, otherwise Princess Zhaohua would not look down on him, right? It can only be said that compared to Princess Zhaohua, the Marquis may be inferior."

Paused, "But looking at the entire Nanzhao, there are very few people who can match Princess Zhaohua's abilities, not to mention that Marquis Zhongyong and the princess are husband and wife, so there is no need to compare who is better."
