Chapter 153 Are You Okay?
Fortunately, everyone knew that this was a formal occasion and at most they would chat privately for a few minutes, so they still focused on the banquet.
After three rounds of drinks, the second prince of Goryeo, disguised as an envoy, raised his glass to toast Jiang Hetang. "I have heard that the Emperor of Great Zhou is a true gentleman. Now, after three years of marriage, the Empress is the only one in his harem."
Not knowing what he was up to, Jiang Hetang just smiled at him and said, "Men in this world should always respect their wives who take care of the household and bear children for them. I am the Son of Heaven and I should set an example for everyone."
"That's right, that's right. No wonder our Goryeo princess came all the way here to pay her respects to Your Majesty." As he spoke, he gestured for the two princesses to come forward.
Who wouldn't understand this? It was obvious that they were going to offer them to Jiang Hetang.
Many people were happy to see this, and some were even eager to try. After all, if Jiang Hetang agreed, it would be equivalent to breaking his original promise to the Queen of "a lifetime of one couple", and then their daughter would have hope of being sent to the palace!
At this time, Jiang Hetang held Yuan Tianzhen's hand tightly with a gloomy face, not only because of the shamelessness of the Goryeo envoy, but also because it was an insult to himself.
The two of them shyly approached Jiang Hetang, their voices as if caught in a door. "Greetings, His Majesty. Huihui is the sixteenth princess of Goryeo, Park Sunhui. I'm delighted to be in the Great Zhou. As soon as I saw Your Majesty, I felt as if I'd seen her somewhere before. Do you remember?"
Jiang Hetang: "Sixteenth Princess, you are joking. I have never been to Goryeo, so how could I have seen you?"
Who would have thought that the sixteenth princess would not give in, "That must be our fate in the previous life"
This caused a burst of laughter in the hall.
She was completely unaware of this and was about to say something when her sister, Princess Seventeen, pushed her away with her butt.
"Emperor of the Great Zhou, I am Xiao Shiqi, the youngest princess of Goryeo. I am younger than your sister and my body is softer than hers. But in other places," she secretly glanced at Jiang Hetang, then shyly twisted her hips and shook her chest, "my breasts are bigger than your sister's."
Everyone was shocked by her bold statement, which was really disgraceful and disgraceful.
As the ruler of a country, Jiang Hetang couldn't say anything that would be disrespectful; Yuan Tianzhen was the mother of a country, so at this moment, anything she said would be inappropriate. If he went along with the compliments, he couldn't bring himself to do it, and there was even the risk of being blackmailed. But if he directly called them shameless, he would be branded as jealous.
It was the first time that the Queen Mother had seen such shameless people. They even boasted about it in public.
Although the ministers below were also annoyed by their outspokenness, they still held their breath and waited for the emperor's response.
There were even many men with bad intentions who stared at their private parts, saying, "Let me see how different we are."
Mingyue doesn't have so many concerns. She is still young and a naughty child. Anything she does can be forgiven.
She stood up and screamed, "Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor! Someone come! An assassin has sneaked in!"
Many people huddled together in panic.
The next moment, the Imperial Guards rushed in and protected the Emperor, the Empress, and the Queen Mother. They then followed the direction pointed by Mingyue Xiaopang's hand and took the two princesses and the Goryeo envoys away.
Everyone was stunned by the commotion, and even the three of them forgot to "quibble".
Mingyue was still trembling, tears about to fall, she stretched out her hands towards Jiang Hetang, "Uncle, Mingyue is scared QAQ"
Jiang Hetang didn't understand the situation either, and subconsciously took Mingyue in his arms and comforted her softly.
After a while, nothing happened, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and slumped in their seats, no longer caring about manners or etiquette.
The second prince of Goryeo was the first to react, but he forgot that the identity he had fabricated for himself was just a small envoy.
"What the hell are you talking about, you little girl? I order you to throw her to the wolves!"
Jiang Hetang raised his head and stared at the man in front of him. When no one noticed, he said something, "Come here, drag this treacherous man out and behead him!"
"Yes!" The commander of the Royal Guards had been fighting with Jiang Hetang since childhood, so he understood what he meant. He immediately stepped forward, covered the mouth of the second prince of Goryeo, and dragged him out.
Fortunately, the second prince of Goryeo came to the Great Zhou without telling anyone, and even changed his appearance. It is ironic to say that except for the two people who followed his orders to spread rumors of marriage in the streets and alleys of the capital at the beginning and were finally killed by him, they were his people, and the other one was the one who presented the gift today.
He was originally trembling, afraid that he would at least be missing an arm or a leg when he returned. Now, the second prince was captured.
The two princesses trembled, fearing that they would be the next one. They raised their hands and said, "I am not, I did not, I am a princess of Goryeo, please don't kill me!!"
Mingyue poked her head out from Jiang Hetang's arms and pointed at her viciously, "You're lying! How could a princess be as dissolute as you?"
"My mother is also a princess, a princess of the Great Zhou. She is elegant, beautiful, gentle, generous, and full of nobility. And you, on the other hand, are just like the girls in the brothels that the aunties on the street talk about!"
They were speechless, "I, this, you, wuwuwuwu"
Yuan Tianzhen stepped forward at this time and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. My Mingyue is still a child. She is just thinking about everyone's safety."
Everyone expressed their understanding and said, "Since you said so, what else can I say?"
Only the two princesses of Goryeo changed their silly look and stared at Xiao Mingyue fiercely.
So, Goryeo originally wanted to stuff both princesses into Jiang Hetang's harem, but after Mingyue's disturbance, an ordinary person would have given up.
But it was obvious that the two princesses were determined to keep pestering him. After the imperial guards withdrew, they knelt in front of Jiang Hetang and cried bitterly. Yuan Tianzhen's face was frozen.
"Emperor of the Great Zhou, please take us in. Our king said that if we fail to stay in the Great Zhou, we will be given to an eighty-year-old general upon our return."
What? Are you playing the victim now?
Jiang Hetang looked at them speechlessly, and an idea came to his mind. "Queen, these two princesses are truly pitiful. All they want is to stay in the Great Zhou for a refuge. How about that?"
Yuan Tianzhen said with a forced smile, "I will obey the emperor completely."
When the two heard this, they thought it was a good opportunity! They knelt down hurriedly and thanked the queen again and again, "Thank you, sister. Thank you, sister."
Mingyue looked at the two in shock. Are you okay? Are you okay?
