The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Chapter 265 Riot

"These two are envoys from Gaul. They love the culture of Dayong very much. They also brought many overseas specialties with them. However, they did not bring them into the palace for the palace banquet today..." The Minister of Rites said to Su Tang and Qi Lingheng.

Perhaps he had received instructions from Emperor Jing in advance, because when the Minister of Rites introduced these foreign envoys, it was obvious that he was introducing Su Tang.

He introduced the foreigners standing next to him to Su Tang one by one.

These foreigners either spoke ancient Spanish, ancient English or other ancient foreign languages.

Although these ancient foreign languages are somewhat different from modern foreign languages, Su Tang can understand them better than the Dayong officials present.

But Su Tang did not communicate with these foreigners in a foreign language on the spot. After all, Su Tang's previous identity was that of a country girl. The sudden appearance of her ability to communicate with foreigners smoothly would arouse Emperor Jing's suspicion.

The emperor was suspicious, and Su Tang didn't want to make Emperor Jing feel wary of her.

Su Tang listened to the Minister of Rites's lame introduction with a smile on her face, and finally said to him, "I will go to the inn where they are staying tomorrow, and I will trouble you to help introduce them."

"Hehehe, this is my duty. Tomorrow I will go to the inn where they are staying and wait for the Grand Princess." The Minister of Rites and Su Tang bowed and said.

The cannon in the hands of the King of Qi was researched by Su Tang, and several ministers in the court were aware of it.

Therefore, the Minister of Rites also respected Su Tang very much. After all, they had all seen the power of the artillery. The eldest princess was smart and could understand rare things that men like them could not understand. This alone made these old-fashioned ministers dare not underestimate her.

Separated from the Minister of Rites, Su Tang and Qi Lingheng returned to their own positions.

"How is the shipping level of our Dayong?" Su Tang looked at the foreigners in the distance.

"The farthest we have been is the nearby Ryukyu Islands. Ships cannot withstand strong winds and waves if we go any further. Even the fishermen along the coast who have made a living by fishing for generations only dare to fish near the coast."

Although Dayong has a long coastline, the ancient navigation technology was relatively backward, and the ancients were afraid of the wind and waves at sea. The risks and benefits were not proportional, so ocean sailing was naturally ignored.

Su Tang was not surprised by this result.

Su Tang was thinking that when she had time in the future, it would be best if she could go to a coastal city in person to see the ships along the coast.

There was a commotion at the entrance of the hall.

Su Tang and Qi Lingheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Royal Guards entering the hall.

"Let's go and see what's going on." Su Tang looked like she was eager to watch the fun.

Qi Lingheng shook his head helplessly and walked over there with Su Tang.

"How dare you bring poisonous insects into the palace!!" someone shouted.

"We people in southern Xinjiang have been carrying the Gu on our bodies since childhood. This insect has never left our bodies. If we don't carry it with us, do you think you can carry it for me?" An arrogant female voice came.

"Well, you can't bring the poisonous insect into the palace no matter what. Please leave first."

"We came to Dayong to submit the letter of alliance. Why do you want me to leave?"

"Leave the letter here. Your Majesty will make the final decision on this matter."

"Is this Dayong's way of entertaining guests?"

"It depends on whether the other party is a guest." Su Tang's voice sounded from outside the crowd.

The crowd naturally made way.

An official saluted to Su Tang and said, "Greetings to the Grand Princess."

"Heh, since when did Dayong ask a woman to speak out?" The rude woman opposite was actually someone Su Tang knew.

Su Tang raised her eyebrows and looked at the man with a smile, "I am the Grand Princess appointed by His Majesty. How can I not speak when I am standing in the palace of Dayong? But then again, from what you said, you women in Southern Xinjiang are not allowed to be on the stage? You don't even have the right to speak in public? Or are you not a woman?"

After Su Tang finished her last sentence, she looked the man up and down, especially staring at his chest for several times.

This person was none other than Ana, whom Su Tang had met when she went to southern Xinjiang. Unexpectedly, the person sent by southern Xinjiang to deliver the letter of credence was her.

Women in southern Xinjiang are always thin, and Ana's figure is like a paper-thin person, with almost no figure to speak of.

Su Tang's words were a humiliation to Ana.

Ana's face suddenly turned red. She pulled out a long whip from her waist and chopped towards Su Tang.

“Ana!!”

"Princess!!"

"Escort!!"

"Everyone get out of the way!!!"

For a moment, the hall was in chaos, with all kinds of noises rang out at the same time.

When Ana pulled out the whip, Qi Lingheng had already grabbed Su Tang's waist and led Su Tang to avoid the attacking whip.

The whip hit empty air with great force and hit the gold bricks in the hall.

There was a loud "bang" and the sound like lightning suddenly resounded throughout the hall!

After missing the first strike, Ana raised the whip in her hand again, but this time she did not swing the whip. Instead, a man from southern Xinjiang beside her grabbed her wrist with one hand.

"Let me go!" Ana glared at Su Tang, her eyes full of anger.

She also recognized Su Tang and Qi Lingheng.

She didn't expect that the person who made her look so ugly and suffered such a great loss in southern Xinjiang was actually the eldest princess of Dayong.

And the man whom she had always admired and never forgot was actually still by the princess' side, protecting her again.

Looking at the anger in Ana's eyes, Su Tang knew that Ana recognized her.

How could such a brainless and temper-uncontrollable person be sent as an envoy by Southern Xinjiang? I really don't know if the people in power in Southern Xinjiang have lost their minds.

"This woman insulted me, didn't you see that? Let me go, I want to fight her to the death." Ana couldn't swing the whip in her hand, but she kept talking.

But what she said made all the officials of Dayong look gloomy.

In their view, the other party was just an envoy from a small country who came to seek peace, and he dared to disrespect the princess of their country.

The Minister of Rites was the first to stand up, pointing at Ana and shouting in a deep voice: "You are an envoy from Southern Xinjiang, and you dare to be so disrespectful to the Grand Princess of Dayong. I think you from Southern Xinjiang have no intention of seeking peace. You don't need to stay in Dayong anymore. We in Dayong cannot entertain people who are disrespectful to the royal family of Dayong!"

"Yes, these barbarians in southern Xinjiang are just a group of savages who have not evolved well. Quickly drive them out of Dayong!!" Someone immediately echoed.

"The Nanjiang people are provoking Dayong. We should bombard them with artillery to let them know who is the master of this world!!"

"Yes, they dare to be so disrespectful even when they arrive at the Dayong Palace. These people from Southern Xinjiang really don't know what they are talking about. Are they here to negotiate peace or to seek war?!"

For a moment, the court officials of Dayong were talking about it, and at this time the Imperial Guards surrounded these people from southern Xinjiang.

"For today's banquet, the people from southern Xinjiang were sent out of the palace first." The second prince also spoke at this time.

"Yes." Emperor Jing had not arrived yet, and the eldest prince was not present either. Naturally, the second prince's words carried the most weight here.

The imperial guards held their swords and stood outside the southern border. "Follow us and leave the palace."

"I won't leave. We are here to submit a letter from the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang. If you chase us away today, you are going to go to war with Southern Xinjiang..."

Ana became more and more excited as she spoke. The hand holding the long whip kept pointing at Su Tang, and the other hand held a roll of brocade, which should be the letter from Southern Xinjiang that she mentioned. "It was all her fault. Why don't you ask why she treated me like this? She went to Southern Xinjiang before..."

"Brother, don't stop me. This letter was handed to me by our emperor himself. You cannot touch it before they confiscate it..." Ana inserted the letter in her hand into the belt around her waist, then looked up and pointed at Su Tang, wanting to continue what she had just said.

However, the man whom Ana called "Brother" was obviously angry. He hit Ana on the back of the neck with his palm, and Ana's body softened, and then he stopped.

The man clasped his fists and saluted towards Su Tang, then took out the scroll of brocade tucked around Ana's waist and handed it forward with both hands, "Princess, Ana is ignorant, and what she said does not represent Southern Xinjiang. This letter..."

“I guess Nanjiang hasn’t reached an agreement on whether to submit the letter or not. Let’s wait until you have reached an agreement.” The second prince waved his hand, not wanting to accept the letter from Nanjiang. He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

After the commotion in Southern Xinjiang at the Banquet of All Nations today, if Dayong accepts Southern Xinjiang's letter so easily, will Dayong still have any face left? In the future, will any country be able to come to Dayong's palace to cause trouble?

"Please come in." One of the royal guards raised his hand and pointed to the main gate of the hall.

The man glanced at the second prince who was leaving, then glanced at Su Tang, then he picked up Ana who was knocked unconscious on the ground, and turned around and left the hall with a group of people from Southern Xinjiang.

This incident was soon forgotten by everyone in the hall. They gathered together to drink and chat.

Soon, Emperor Jing also came to the hall with Concubine Xian.

It turned out that Emperor Jing was only accompanied by one concubine, Concubine Xian, and the looks of the officials' wives immediately became gloomy.

"It seems that it won't be long before the virtuous concubine will take charge of the harem." Qi Lingheng also glanced at the virtuous concubine. In his previous life, even when the eldest prince ascended the throne, this virtuous concubine was safe and sound and was even given the title of virtuous concubine dowager.

Qi Lingheng looked at Concubine Xian, who seemed to have nothing to contend with, sitting on the high seat. There was a bit more scrutiny in his eyes. It seemed that he had to investigate Concubine Xian's past.

"There are no Buddhist women in the harem. If this little white rabbit didn't fight for anything, she would have been torn into pieces long ago." Su Tang also glanced at Emperor Jing and Concubine Xian who were sitting above the hall, then picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip.

At this palace banquet, only the hot tea was hot.

Several envoys from foreign countries submitted letters expressing their desire to make friends with Dayong, and Nalan Yuelan from the northern border also came.

"Beijiang is willing to maintain friendly relations with Dayong for generations. Nalan Yuelan is willing to marry into Dayong. Please Emperor Jing grant her marriage." After Nalan Yuelan handed in Beijiang's letter, she actually knelt down.

"Oh? Which talented man in Dayong does Nalan Yuelan want to marry?" Emperor Jing did not say anything. He just flipped through the letter from Northern Frontier in his hand. Concubine Xian looked gently at Nalan Yuelan who was kneeling below and asked.

A few days ago, Qi Lingheng shocked the Northern Frontier with artillery and captured several cities in succession. The Northern Frontier not only sent horses and other compensations, but also sent two beautiful women as tributes to Emperor Jing.

However, those two were just girls from noble families of northern border tribes, so they did not get very high positions and only became beauties in the palace.

But right now, Nalan Yuelan is the apple of the eye of the tribal leader of the northern border, and she cannot be dismissed at will.

But this person from Northern Frontier is of foreign descent. Even if she is taken into the harem by Emperor Jing, Northern Frontier will not allow her to give birth to children and confuse the bloodline of Dayong.

The virtuous concubine looked at Nalan Yuelan below with a kind face. She gave a wink to the nanny beside her, who immediately understood and came down from above to personally help the kneeling Nalan Yuelan up.

"Yuelan, Yuelan wants to marry the King of Qi."

"Puff..." The tea that Su Tang had just drunk was sprayed out.

Wasn't Nalan Yuelan very afraid of Qi Lingheng at the beginning? Is she now bewitched by Qi Lingheng's charm?

Have you actually forgotten your fear of Qi Lingheng?

"Madam." Qi Lingheng seemed not to hear what Nalan Yuelan said. He took out a green handkerchief and wiped the tea from Su Tang's mouth without even looking at the other people in the hall.

"Oh." Su Tang sighed and rolled her eyes at Qi Lingheng.

Qi Lingheng had a faint smile on his face, and he looked at Su Tang as if he couldn't see anyone else in his eyes.

"You said you wanted to marry the King of Qi, but the King of Qi already has a wife, the Grand Princess of Dayong." Concubine Xian glanced at Su Tang and spoke again.

"Yuelan has admired King Qi for a long time. She was really shocked by his bravery last time. She only wants to marry King Qi and is willing to make peace with him." Nalan Yuelan turned around and looked at Qi Lingheng.

But when he saw Qi Lingheng was actually using a handkerchief to wipe Su Tang, he couldn't help but frown.

"You have also seen that the King of Qi seems to have no room for anyone else in his eyes." After the virtuous concubine said this, she glanced at Emperor Jing, but Emperor Jing still had no intention of speaking.

But Su Tang is a princess. If someone wants to share a husband with her, this must be approved by Emperor Jing, and she has no say in the matter.

At this time, Emperor Jing pressed his eyebrows with his fingers, and Eunuch Fu immediately asked Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty, is this a headache again? The imperial physician said that you can't sit outside for a long time, so why don't you go back to the bedroom and rest for a while?"

Upon seeing this, Concubine Xian quickly approached Emperor Jing and asked with concern, "Your Majesty has a headache, you should rest more. I will accompany Your Majesty back to the palace."

"Well, let's just disperse here first. You accompany me back." After Emperor Jingdi finished speaking, he stood up and took the arm that Concubine Xian extended to him. With the help of Concubine Xian, he walked down the platform to the back hall.

Nalan Yuelan looked at Emperor Jing and Consort Xian in surprise as they retreated from the platform. The old nanny beside her bowed and said, "I, your old servant, will also go and serve the master first. Princess Yuelan, please do as you please."
