Six hundred and seventieth chapters conscience is not obliterated
The moon is bright and clear, and its brilliance is spreading.
The music is melodious and the dancing is captivating.
Everyone in the palace square happily enjoyed the graceful dance of the dancers, while exchanging glasses with their companions on both sides from time to time.
No one seems to have noticed that at this time, there was a charming lady sitting on a table and chair in the corner of the Japanese mission, drinking a drink in her hand sadly.
Sakai He and the other Japanese people may be forcing a smile, but at least they have cheerful smiles on their faces.
But this woman is different. She seems to not care about other people's opinions at all, and directly puts her bad mood on her charming and pretty face.
She was not like the others, enjoying the dazzling and graceful dance of the dancers in front of her with a smile on her face.
Instead, he drank one cup after another, as if he could never get drunk.
This woman is Sakai Hoshino.
Sakai Hoshino drank the old wine in his glass in one gulp, lowered his head and stared at the wine glass in his hand with a melancholy expression, and let out a silent breath.
The beauty's lips were slightly parted, and she breathed a breath that was as blue as a musk but mixed with a hint of alcohol. Her beautiful eyes looked vaguely at Liu Mingzhi, who was exchanging glasses with others not far away.
The words that Liu Mingzhi talked with his nephew Sakai Ga kept appearing in front of his eyes, and the confusion in Sakai Hoshino's beautiful eyes became more and more intense.
She actually didn't blame Liu Mingzhi for not agreeing to her nephew Sakai He's request, she just couldn't figure it out.
I can’t figure out why Liu Mingzhi rejected his request from the Japanese mission over and over again.
Could it be that someone from the Japanese mission accidentally offended him, causing him to deliberately embarrass the Japanese mission?
As soon as this idea came up, it was instantly rejected by Sakai Hoshino.
Looking at the entire Japanese envoy, from the envoys to the general officers, down to the servants and attendants, no one knows what the dragon means.
Even if they were lent ten courages, they would not dare to offend Liu Mingzhi, the Great Dragon Emperor.
Not even accidentally.
After all, except for himself, his daughter Sakuraori, and his nephew Sakai Ga, no one else in the mission was qualified to have the opportunity to meet Liu Mingzhi alone, the king of a country.
If you can't even see it, how can you offend it?
In fact, I knew in my heart that what Liu Jun said before could not be said to be rejection.
After all, Liu Jun never decisively rejected his request. He only said that he would make a decision after discussing with Dalong's civil and military officials.
After watching quietly for a while, Liu Mingzhi was enjoying the singing and dancing with a slight smile. The puzzled beauty silently withdrew her gaze, picked up the wine glass again and drank silently alone.
Sakai He's mind has always been on his aunt Hoshino Sakai. Seeing the confused and helpless expression on his aunt's pretty face, he felt helpless and anxious.
Auntie, auntie, don't be so sad. Even if you are pretending to be happy, you still have to pretend!
Otherwise, if Emperor Dalong sees your expression, I don’t know what unnecessary trouble will arise.
While Sakai He was worried about his aunt's mood, he was also worried that his aunt's behavior and look would make Young Master Liu unhappy.
But how did he know that Liu Mingzhi had actually discovered something was wrong with Sakai Hoshino early on, but he just pretended not to see it.
Inadvertently glancing at the beautiful lady who was sitting alone drinking, Liu Mingzhi let out an imperceptible sigh.
This silly woman seems to be thinking wildly again.
"Sister Ya."
Qi Ya, who was chewing fruits carefully, paused and looked slightly sideways at the man next to her.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
"Sister Ya, do you think my husband is a little hard-hearted?"
Qi Ya'e frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Sakai Hoshino, who was drinking wine silently in the distance, and seemed to understand the reason for her husband's question.
"Husband, are you worried about sister Hoshino?"
Liu Mingzhi squinted his eyes and sighed, looking at Qi Ya and nodded gently.
"That's right."
"Well, husband, have you done anything to owe sister Hoshino?"
"of course not."
"Husband, have you done anything against your conscience to sister Hoshino?"
"nor."
"Then, husband, do you have anything to feel sorry for, Sister Hoshino?"
"nor."
"In that case, what do you have to worry about, husband? Sister Hoshino is Sister Hoshino, and has nothing to do with the affairs between the Japanese envoys.
As long as there is nothing between you two, do other things matter?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a smile, picked up a piece of venison, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.
"Sister Ya has seen it thoroughly and has learned from her husband."
"Silly husband, it's not that I see clearly, but the thing that worries you is not just about sister Hoshino, right?"
Liu Mingzhi was blinded by the food in his mouth and lightly smacked his lips a few times.
"Yes, my husband is indeed not only worried about this silly woman Hoshino, but there are also other reasons mixed in with it.
My husband's old friend from back then, Kazuko Sakai, gave my husband such a large annual gift this time, but my husband paid nothing to this old friend.
To be honest, my husband still feels a little embarrassed in his heart.
Although I still don’t know the purpose of Sakai Kazuko’s hope that I can reward them with sophisticated military equipment, these real gold and silver cannot be faked.
It is natural for my husband to receive these annual contributions, but at the same time, my husband feels a little guilty in his conscience.
Sister Ya, what do you mean by this idea of becoming a husband?"
"Hmm~ Hehehe, it means that my husband, you are a good person with a clear conscience."
"Maybe, after all, I have always been a good person as a husband, and this is something everyone knows.
Sister Naya, tell me, as for my husband, should I agree to the request of the Japanese mission, or should I not agree?"
"Husband, you are really embarrassing me about this issue. It concerns the imperial court. It would be best for me not to interfere as a prostitute.
As for what the final outcome will be, it is up to you, husband, to decide on your own."
"Well, I can't figure out what the real purpose of the Japanese mission is, so my husband feels a little confused after all.
For something as important as military preparation, we need to take a long-term approach!"
"Yeah, husband, just think about it yourself."
"It's okay, Sister Ya, let's continue to enjoy the singing and dancing. Don't let this beautiful scenery live up to you."
"Yes, I will drink your Majesty's cup."
"My beloved concubine, let's drink together."
"Your Majesty, I respect you and your ladies."
"The ministers of the state are waiting to pay their respects to His Majesty the Emperor and your empresses."
"Okay, okay, let's drink together. It's such a good time and beautiful scenery. You and I won't be drunk until we return."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone drank a glass of wine and once again looked at the long-sleeved dancers in front of them with smiles on their faces.
With good wine adding to the fun, the dancers' graceful dancing seemed to be even more charming in the eyes of everyone.
Time passed quietly, and the dancers changed one batch after another. Under the clear light of the bright moon, the joy and laughter in the palace never stopped.
The moon was high in the sky, and the drunken Liu Mingzhi cheerfully raised his wine glass and gestured.
"My dear lords, it's getting late, and it's time for the banquet to end.
After drinking this cup, go away."
Everyone who was already drunk and confused heard Young Master Liu's words and hurriedly shook their heads. They suddenly sobered up three points from their drunkenness.
"My concubines and sisters respect your Majesty."
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"The ministers are waiting to pay their respects to His Majesty the Emperor."
"Drink together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi drank the glass of wine, put down the glass and stood up slightly, looking at the crowd with a faint smile and waving his sleeves.
"Go away, I'm going back to rest."
"His Majesty ordered, the palace banquet is over."
"We send you your Majesty's greetings. Long live, long live, long live."
Liu Mingzhi took a quick glance at Sakai Hoshino, who was slightly blushing in the distance but not drunk, and hurried towards the harem with a floating pace.
Seeing this, all the beauties hurriedly followed him with light steps.
