He will never let this situation happen, so he will never let it go.
But the current situation was very unfavorable to him. No matter how angry he was, he still endured it!
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Your Majesty, no matter what, the marriage between the wise king and the princess cannot be held without the consent of the Marquis of Huaiyang.
Now the princess is my fiancée, and I will never give up on her."
Emperor Hongyuan left no room for doubt: "The wedding date of the princess and the wise king has been decided. It will be on the 28th of this month. I have spread it throughout the world and cannot change it. I will also invite the prince to come.
The prince is a talented person and knows people well. I believe you will find another beautiful woman."
Seeing Emperor Hongyuan's tone being so cold and hard, Dongfang Wuxiang clenched his fists tightly, and a deep coldness flashed in his eyes.
The atmosphere in the main hall became very awkward. Seeing this, Xue Tianxiang hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.
She smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Wuxiang has come all the way. You have organized this banquet specifically for him. Why don't we sit down and have a drink and talk slowly?"
The fragrance of snow lightened the atmosphere, and a smile appeared on Emperor Hongyuan's face.
He looked at Dongfang Wuxiang and said with a smile: "Concubine Xue is right, Prince Wuxiang is a guest from afar, so we can discuss the wedding later.
Prince, I have prepared fine wines and delicacies for you, as well as singing and dancing to entertain you. Sit down and taste the delicacies of my country of Chu and feel the culture of my country of Chu.
Come, please give me a seat."
"Prince, Second Young Master, please come this way."
Immediately a eunuch came over to take Dongfang Wuxiang to the table.
Seeing that Emperor Hongyuan was stepping down for him, Dongfang Wuxiang also took a step back. He said politely: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has given you such hospitality. Wuxiang is very honored."
With that said, he took Nalanxuan to his seat.
Concubine Xue said quickly: "Come, let's sing and dance."
After Concubine Xue finished speaking, the beautiful dancers filed in.
The sound of silk and bamboo was heard in the stands, and along with the sound of silk and bamboo, the dancers came on stage one after another and began to perform.
Suddenly, the hall was filled with music, singing and dancing.
At this time, Emperor Hongyuan picked up the wine glass in front of him and said to everyone: "My dear friends, welcome Prince Donglin to the Chu Kingdom. Let us all toast to him first."
Everyone raised their glasses.
Dongfang Wuxiang stood up, raised his wine glass, and said politely: "Thank you for your majesty's concern. Wuxiang also wishes your majesty good health and all the best.
Your Majesty, Wu Xiang will do it first as a courtesy!"
As he spoke, he drank down the wine in his hand.
Emperor Hongyuan and others also raised their heads and drank.
After drinking this glass, everyone sat down and started drinking, eating, and chatting. The atmosphere at the scene relaxed a lot.
After drinking for three rounds, Dongfang Wuxiang suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hospitality.
The State of Chu is a country of etiquette, and it is not polite to come or go back. In return, I would like to give you another gift."
As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at Dongfang Wuxiang warily.
He had already given gifts at the beginning, and now he wanted to give gifts again. What was he going to do?
Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes shrewdly, and he could tell at a glance that Dongfang Wuxiang had a deeper meaning to this gift.
He didn't want to accept such a gift, so he said calmly: "The prince has already given me many Donglin specialties, so there is no need to be polite."
Dongfang Wuxiang said: "Your Majesty treats me with such kindness, allowing me to taste the fine wines of your country and enjoy the peerless singing and dancing.
Of course I will offer you a better gift for your majesty, and please don’t refuse."
Seeing Dongfang Wuxiang's persistence, Emperor Hongyuan said lightly: "Okay! Then I will open my eyes!"
Dongfang Wuxiang smiled and clapped her hands, "Come here, bring the gift."
After he finished speaking, several warriors wearing Donglin costumes walked in from outside the main hall. The leader of them held a long and narrow brocade box in his hand.
Everyone was stunned. The gift must be in this brocade box!
This brocade box is so long and narrow, I wonder what is inside?
At this time, the warrior had already respectfully raised the brocade box in front of Dongfang Wuxiang.
Then he knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness, the gift has arrived."
Dongfang Wuxiang glanced at everyone, and then said: "Abu, show me the gift!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Abu finished speaking, he stood up and handed the brocade box to a warrior behind him.
Then, he gently opened the brocade box, and a ray of silver light shot out from the brocade box.
When everyone saw the silver light, they stood up one after another and wanted to know what was in the brocade box.
At this time, Abu had already respectfully taken out the contents of the brocade box. When everyone took a look, they found that it was a fine iron sword with a cold light.
Abu placed the sword flat in his hand, turned around, and slowly faced Emperor Hongyuan.
Emperor Hongyuan looked puzzled when he saw the sword, "Prince, what kind of sword is this?"
Dongfang Wuxiang raised his eyebrows. He pointed at the sword and said with great pride: "Your Majesty, this is called the Dragon Bird Sword. It was made by Zhongzi, the most powerful swordsmith in our country..."
Zongzi?
When Yun Ruoyue heard this, she couldn't help but laugh. How come someone's name is Zongzi?
Are they sweet rice dumplings or salty rice dumplings?
"I wonder what you are laughing at?"
Yun Ruoyue was smiling when Dongfang Wuxiang's cold voice sounded.
She quickly raised her eyes and met Dongfang Wuxiang's sullen eyes.
Only then did she realize that the whole place was so quiet, and she was the only one who burst into laughter.
He was about to brag, but she laughed, which seemed a bit hurtful.
Chu Xuanchen sat on the edge and looked at Yun Ruoyue with a half-smile.
Seeing that the situation was a bit awkward, Yun Ruoyue hurriedly said: "Well, Prince, I didn't laugh at you.
I just thought of a delicious food and couldn't help but laugh, sorry!"
As he said this, others also laughed.
"gourmet food?"
Dongfang Wuxiang's face has turned into black coal.
How dare this woman laugh at Master Zhongzi's name?
Who is this woman?
Who gave her the courage?
He raised his eyes and saw this woman sitting next to Chu Xuanchen, who was looking at her lovingly.
He suddenly realized that this must be the world-famous miracle doctor Yun Ruoyue.
Unexpectedly, it was Yun Ruoyue who laughed at him.
Very good, this woman is very brave!
Emperor Hongyuan also wanted to laugh when he heard the word "Zhongzi".
Especially when Dongfang Wuxiang raised his head and said the name seriously, he really wanted to laugh, but he still suppressed it.
He believed that everyone present wanted to laugh, but everyone was holding back for the sake of Dongfang Wuxiang. Unexpectedly, Yun Ruoyue actually laughed, which made him feel relieved.
He said: "Prince, what kind of sword is this? Please continue to introduce it to us."
Dongfang Wuxiang took a deep breath, stared at the sword, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, this is called the Dragon Bird Sword.
It was made by Zhongzi, the most powerful swordsmith in our country. This sword is a brother's sword, not a delicacy."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Ruoyue out of the corner of his eye, then coughed slightly and got to the point, "Due to the rapid development of iron smelting and blacksmithing in our country in recent years, the master was able to create this new type of peerless sword.
It cuts iron like clay, blows hair and breaks hair, and is a hundred times more powerful than an ordinary sword.
It is a real magic weapon. A magic weapon is worthy of a king, and only this kind of sword is worthy of your majesty, so I will dedicate it to your majesty."
