In Han Jian's opinion, the Southern Dynasty sent Princess Yongdan Xiao Zhan to serve as an envoy. After all, Yang Xi, the prince of the Wei Dynasty, was still detained by the Southern Dynasty. The Southern Dynasty actually gave a eldest princess a mission like this. Could it be that Empress Xiao of the Southern Dynasty thought that this daughter was outgoing and deliberately sent her to let the Northern Dynasty detain her too?

But after thinking again, Xiao Zhan is a woman after all, and is just a eldest princess. He will marry in the future. This is different from Yang Xi's identity and status. Everyone knows that Yang Rui, the queen of the Northern Dynasty, had no children, and he could only pass it to his two younger brothers if he wanted to pass the throne. Yang Yu betrayed first, and his qualification to succeed the throne has been deprived. Now he has only given birth to Yang Xi alone and may inherit the orthodox throne.

Perhaps because of this, the Southern Dynasties also had more say. Han Jian probably learned that the biggest bargaining chip in his hand was Yang Xi.

Han Jian asked Lin Xiaosu to pass the message, and asked Princess Yongdan Xiao Zhan to come to the Dongwang Mansion for a banquet. Originally, Han Jian thought Xiao Zhan would refuse, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhan would agree at once. This made Han Jian confused.

Although Xiao Zhan was a woman, he still had a certain connection and status in the Southern Dynasties. The main reason was that Zhu Tongjing was very close to Xiao Zhan. This time, Xiao Zhan came, and he could be said to have entered the tiger's den alone. Xiao Zhan had no idea of ​​protecting himself?

Originally, Han Jian disdained to seize a woman in order to conduct political exchanges, but in the face of politics, sometimes he had to change the principles. Han Jian thought about it carefully and felt that it was not impossible to seize Xiao Zhan and propose to exchange with Yang Xi with the Southern Dynasty. Although in the end, Xiao Zhan might be sacrificed by the Southern Dynasty, and the kidnapping of the two countries worsened, the worst result was that the two countries had fought military forces.

What I don't want to fight in this battle now is the Northern Dynasty Wei Dynasty, not the Southern Qi Dynasty.

After receiving the accurate reply from Princess Yongdan, Han Jian did not inform the ministers of the court of Shangshutai, but only held a brief meeting within the Eastern Palace. Not many people attended the meeting, except for himself, there were only Han Cuishi and Lin Xiaosu.

Han Song was not in Luoyang, so Han Cui coordinated everything about Luoyang's Eastern Prince's Mansion. After learning that Han Jian had invited the Southern Dynasty envoy to pass the mansion, Han Cui's expression was still a little nervous. After all, this invitation was related to diplomacy, and Han Jian was understated as a private banquet, which made her doubt whether this would arouse dissatisfaction from Yang Rui or the court.

"Jian'er, have you ever greeted Your Majesty in this matter?" Han Cui asked first.

Han Jian shook his head sincerely and said, "Your Majesty does not see anyone in the Taimiao, how can you say hello?"

"This matter is hard to say." Han Cui looked worried, "It would be better to tell His Majesty first. If you don't say it, if something happens to you, it will probably affect your relationship with His Majesty."

Han Jian thought to himself that it was Yang Rui who threw the entire court affairs to him, but he went to do something big. Now the entire court is the master of his family, and it is too different from the banquet for envoys in the name of the court.

"It's okay." Han Jian said, "Your Majesty had a general explanation for this matter before entering the Taimiao, but I acted cheaply. This matter is not a general matter. Even if Your Majesty knows, how can you blame me?"

Han Cui was relieved and said, "Then let the mansion arrange a banquet tonight. Jianer, have you thought about who to invite?"

Han Jian was silent for a moment.

Before, he was invited by Xie Rumo in the Southern Dynasties in private. Although it was not very formal, there were still many officials with the banquet, and they were basically members of the Xie Party. This time, he invited privately, and he had to invite some aides and confidants from the Eastern Prince's Mansion to come over, so that the banquet would be like a banquet.

"There should not be too many people invited." Han Jian glanced at Lin Xiaosu and said. "Anyway, General Lin and Mr. Lin had just returned to Luoyang and had not had time to formally welcome him. This time, he invited General Lin to come together, as a simple family dinner."

"Family dinner?" Even though Han Cui was prepared, he was still surprised. "Then... Sanniang and Xin'er, aren't they going to attend?"

It was a bit ridiculous to her inviting envoys of the Southern Dynasty to have a "family dinner".

Han Jian smiled and said, "There is no need for Si Niang and the others. Xin'er and Wen'er are originally close friends, so it is not appropriate to come out. Instead, Sanniang and Xun'er can come out to meet with Princess Yongdan. After all, Princess Yongdan is also a female relative. Since she comes, we can't be too rude."

Han Cui thought it was true. If other envoys came and invited them to their homes for a family dinner, it would be very unreasonable. Needless to say, Yang Ronger and Gu Xiner, who are the princesses of the East, were her and Han Jian’s concubines, who were widowed, how could they come out easily to see other men?

"Jian'er, have you ever thought that Princess Yongdan came alone this time? If she brought someone to her, it would be a bit inappropriate..."

After all, Princess Yongdan did not come to the Northern Dynasty alone for missions. There were many male officials around him. Princess Yongdan brought these people together, so how to entertain them will become a problem.

Han Jian smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Sanniang, I will send an invitation to the banquet later. Yan Ming only invites Princess Yongdan. If she doesn't come, it will save trouble. If she comes, we have reason to keep him out."

Han Cui nodded, but was still worried: "I don't know what you think. The two countries sent envoys to each other, and you insisted on having a family dinner. But since it was your decision, Sanniang wouldn't say anything. If your second wife is here, see how she can make you mess around!"

After saying this, Han Jian knew that Han Cui also agreed.

Among his concubines, although Han Cui often sings bad-faced, he also lets him do it. On the contrary, Han Song, who has always been humble, sometimes stops him from doing something.

After deciding on the matter, Han Cui went down to order the Dongwang Mansion to prepare a family dinner for the evening, while Han Jian used the excuse to discuss with Lin Xiaosu and stayed in the main hall to talk with Lin Xiaosu. At the same time, Han Jian also sent someone to the inn to send invitations and sent someone to invite Lin Zhan over.

It was not long until sunset and dusk. Lin Zhan finished his business and had already arrived at the Dongwang Mansion. Yang Ronger, who also needed a banquet, was not in a hurry. After all, Yang Ronger was Han Jian's subordinate, and even if he didn't attend, there would be no problem. Yang Ronger would have attended later.

Han Jian was talking to Lin Zhan, and then he received a message from outside that it was the arrival of the envoy of the Southern Dynasty.

Looking at Lin Zhan, Han Jian stood up and said, "Let's go, Brother Lin, since the guests have arrived at the door, we still have to go out to greet him."

"Then me?" Lin Xiaosu was there and didn't know what to do.

Han Jian smiled and said, "Xiao Su, please stay, and I can go out with Brother Lin."

Lin Xiaosu nodded and stayed in the main hall. Lin Zhan went out with Han Jian to greet him.

When he arrived at the door, he saw a large sedan parked at the door of the mansion. Apart from a few sedan holders, there were no followers around the sedan. Han Jianxin said that the Princess Yongdan also knew each other and said that she was here alone.

Han Jian and Lin Zhan just walked out, and the curtain of the ventilated window of the sedan were slightly opened, and then two maids came out of the sedan chair. Only then did Han Jian know why the sedan chair was so big, and it turned out that there were more than one person inside. Han Jian looked at the four sedan chairmen around him and felt a little strange. The sedan chair was originally a big sedan chair, but there were only four sedan chairmen, but they were carrying three people. Although these three were all women, the weight of the sedan chair was heavy enough.

The maid came down and first set up a stool, then opened the curtain and asked the people inside to get out of the sedan chair.

Originally, Han Jian and Lin Zhan came out to welcome people, but they didn't expect that just a sedan chair would come up with some tricks. Han Jian couldn't help but frown.

At this time, the people in the sedan chair and each walked down. What caught my eye was a leg wearing horse boots and a long Confucian robe, which seemed to be dressed in men's clothing.

Sure enough, when the person walked down, he was dressed in men's clothes, holding a folding fan in his hands, and even his hair was tied up instead of folded up. With a flat chest, those who didn't know thought he was a heroic young man.

But after seeing this person's appearance, Han Jian couldn't help but frown. He vaguely felt that he had seen it. Then he thought, wasn't this the follower who gave the sword to the palace that day? This person was rash in the palace that day's sword to the palace that day, and was almost injured by Yang Ke, who was the prince of the Northern King at that time. However, afterwards, a young eunuch next to her was still stabbed by the sword, which caused a big and small dispute between the two countries.

Han Jian was a little suspicious. Han Jian could not be sure whether the sword dance entourage that day was Princess Yongdan Xiao Zhan, or the Xiao Zhan was faked by the entourage that day. However, Han Jian could also guess a rough idea. The reaction of the entourage at the palace banquet that day was not like an ordinary person. The appearance of the eunuch around him was not a request to ordinary colleagues, but clearly blocking the sword for the master. In addition, the temperament of the woman in front of him could not be casually disguised, Han Jian also concluded in his heart that this was Princess Yongdan.

But thinking about the rash followers at that time, it was really hard to connect with the rumored generous and decent Princess Yongdan. Han Jian thought, was it still "Is it that Princess Yongdan at that time still "not young or not"?

At this time, Xiao Zhan had already gotten off the sedan chair, but he did not get close to him, but stood arrogantly in front of the sedan chair, as if waiting for Han Jian and Lin Zhan to come forward to greet him on his own initiative.

According to titles, Princess Yongdan is a princess, while Han Jian is only a prince, so he naturally has to welcome him with courtesy. Lin Zhan is about to be named Guannei Hou, but he is only a follower of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, so he naturally has to welcome him respectfully. However, the two sides themselves are not the same country, and the official ranks between the Southern and Northern Dynasties are not common, so these are all superficial articles, both obeying and not following the past.

However, Han Jian didn't want to be too polite, so he stepped forward with Lin Zhan, bowed and bowed slightly and said, "I've seen the princess."

When Xiao Zhan heard this, he smiled faintly, revealing two rows of shell teeth, and his smile was as bright as the sunshine.

"King Dong, I'll meet again after a long time, how can I be in good health?" Xiao Zhan asked with a smile.

Han Jian heard the meaning of this, and Xiao Zhan had clearly admitted that she was the one who gave the banquet in the palace.

With a bitter smile, Han Jian hiked: "Young people rely on their hard backs and can't die."

When Xiao Zhan heard this, he smiled and said, "What the King of Dong said is so interesting!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
