The officials who knew about it immediately came out to smooth things over, and a war without smoke was just whitewashed, and everyone started eating and drinking again...
The banquet was halfway through, and the singing and dancing period was about to come. The emperor's words that clearly humiliated Xue Tian'ao would pop up from time to time, but Xue Tian'ao seemed not to have heard them, and he remained silent unless asked.
"The messenger from Tianli has arrived..." the eunuch's voice sounded, and except for Xue Tian'ao, no one else was surprised. They already knew today's arrangements, and this messenger from Tianli was specially reserved by the emperor to humiliate Xue Tian.
Ao and Dongfang felt at ease, because this time Tianli sent a princess, a princess who thought highly of herself and spoke openly.
"I have met His Majesty Emperor Tianyao, and I wish him a happy birthday." The envoys from Tianli were Zhang Zhengmin, Emperor Tianli, and Li Mingyan, Princess Tianli.
Princess Li Mingyan, dressed in an exquisite lake-blue palace dress, is beautiful and generous, with her head raised slightly and in a high-spirited manner, showing her unreasonable royal arrogance.
"Prime Minister Zhang will be exempted from gifts, and Princess Mingyan will be exempted from gifts. She will be given a seat..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two Tianli people happened to be sitting opposite Xue Tianao and Dongfang Ningxin, and Li Mingyan, the arrogant princess, could see Dongfang Ningxin opposite them as soon as she sat down.
"Wow, you are so ugly..." Li Mingyan's voice was crisp and loud. Everyone was silent for a moment. Someone actually said this directly. It was so awesome...
Xue Tianao didn't even react at all. When he heard the arrival of these two people, he understood what the emperor meant. The emperor planned this game really well.
He also knew the temperament of Princess Tianli Mingyan, and if Princess Mingyan spoke rudely, if he didn't care, he would lose Prince Xue's face, and if he did, it would harm the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
"Princess Mingyan is not pretty either." Ugly? Dongfang Ningxin is used to hearing this word. Didn't Xue Tianao call her ugly the first day he saw her?
"Hmph, you actually dare to say that I'm not beautiful. You are Prince Xue's concubine. Your Majesty, don't force yourself on Prince Xue's concubine." Li Mingyan once again used her unabashed words, stood up menacingly, and looked at
Xiang Dongfang Ningxin had a look of hatred on his face.
She liked Xue Tian'ao and fell in love with Xue Tian'ao at first sight. She originally came to Tianyao to get married, and the wedding partner was Xue Tian'ao, but, but... Xue Tian'ao actually married this ugly girl. It was too much.
Yes, only a princess like her is worthy of a king like Xue Tianao.
Crash... cups and plates were smashed one after another. Everyone knew about this, but Li Mingyan was the first person to say it.
Xue Tianao looked at Li Mingyan with cold eyes, but Dongfang Ningxin didn't care at all. Isn't this true?
Ahem... The emperor was a little embarrassed when Li Mingyan said it so directly. "Princess Mingyan, please sit down first."
And Prime Minister Zhang, who came with Li Mingyan, was so frightened by Li Mingyan's words that he broke into cold sweat. Xue Tianao, Tianyao was so proud, how could he endure such humiliation? Fortunately, the emperor gave him the order, and now he
I hope their little princess can go down the steps obediently and stop causing trouble.
But, who is Li Mingyan? A spoiled princess? She is noble and beautiful, and her royal aura makes her even more attractive to men. And this is also true. Li Mingyan has never been around her.
There was no shortage of suitors, but when she saw that men like Xue Tianao had caught her eye, how could Li Minglei, who was always used to being flattered by others, bear this anger.
"Dongfang Ningxin, you ugly girl, you are not worthy of Xue Tianao, you will only bring shame to her, and I want to challenge you..." If Li Mingyan is the kind of woman who will walk down the steps
That's good. After hearing the emperor's words, not only did she not sit down, but she became even more rude.
Cough cough... There was a sound of coughing, and everyone looked at Dongfang Ningxin and Li Mingyan. Now there is a good show, two women are competing for one man...
However, after Li Mingyan spoke for a long time, there was no response. Xue Tianao continued to taste the wine elegantly, while Dongfang Ningxin seemed to have not heard it.
Faced with Dongfang Ningxin's neglect, Li Ming was furious. Everyone's expectations and her own unwillingness made her unable to give up.
"Dongfang Ningxin, you look down on me." Xianxian jumped angrily. No one had ever dared to ignore her like this. Li Mingyan, Dongfang Ningxin was the first one. Of course, Xue Tianao ignored her, but she pretended not to see her.
Arrived...
"Princess Mingyan, I am Princess Xue. There is no need to accept your challenge. Even if you win, what will happen to me? I am Princess Xue given by His Majesty. It cannot be changed by two women with a private bet." Dongfang.
Ning Xinyi was sitting there, one high and one low, one angry and one calm, but each had its own merits. In other words, Dongfang Ningxin's calmness was better than the previous one.
"I don't care about you, you are not worthy of Xue Tianao anyway." The little girl Sa Bo seems to be like this. Li Mingyan is a spoiled and willful child, and she has the ability to be willful.
"This is a matter between the prince and I. I don't need Princess Mingyan to worry about it." Yi just didn't deal with it head-on. Princess Mingyan spoke freely, but the emperor let it go, and it was obvious that the situation was not good for him.
"Dongfang Ningxin, you are timid and cowardly. You are not worthy of Prince Xue. He is Tianyao's pride and he should not be ruined by a woman like you."
Dongfang Ning Xinyi didn't answer. Everyone in the world said that Dongfang Ningxin was not worthy of Xue Tianao, and she also believed that she was not worthy. But did she escape from this situation?
Li Mingyan saw Xue Tianao and Dongfang Ningxin both looking unshakable, and was furious.
"I, Li Mingyan, challenge you, Princess Tianyaoxue, Dongfang Ningxin, in the name of the Tianli Royal Family." This was originally a private fight between women, but the willful Li Mingyan elevated it to a state-to-state conflict.
Dignity issue.
"Princess?" Zhang Zailian hurriedly pulled Li Mingyan, but it was already too late, the words had already been spoken and their idiot princess still looked provocative.
Dongfang Ningxin secretly complained. She wanted to look at Xue Tianao with complaints, but she didn't dare. She could only blame the man in her heart for causing harm to others. She was so innocent...
"Your Majesty, do you, Tianyao, want to refuse?" Li Mingyan asked proudly. She had already found out that Dongfang Ningxin was a waste with no talent and appearance, and she could definitely win.
"Emperor's brother?" The emperor smiled and looked at Xue Tian'ao. He was not satisfied with the competition proposed by Li Mingyan that was related to the country, but he still decided to throw this problem to Xue Tian'ao.
The winner was Tianyao, who was full of talents, but the loser was Xue Tianao, because she was Xue Tianao's wife.
Xue Tianao stood up and looked at Li Mingyan sharply. "I agree on behalf of the princess, but I have one condition."
Li Mingyan saw Xue Tianao looking at her and talking, his eyes full of love, and his voice suddenly became gentle. "Prince Xue, please say..."
After being a bad girl for a night, she has become so charming now. Is such a remedy urgent? Li Mingyan looked at Xue Tianao lovingly, the affection in her eyes could not be ignored even if she wanted to...
Xue Tianao didn't pay attention to Li Mingyan at all, but the emperor's brother allowed Li Mingyan to appear at this time just because he wanted to give this stupid woman to him. He had already accepted Dongfang Ningxin, and this one was absolutely
He won't accept it, not only that, he will let the emperor suffer the consequences.
Losing Xue Tianao's pride would be a huge price...
"My king's condition is that there is a bet for this competition." Xue Tian'ao has never been a reckless man who only knows martial arts. As Tian Yao's pride, he is certainly a brave and resourceful man.
"Bet? What bet?" Li Mingyan asked carefully, and the emperor secretly screamed in his heart. He was afraid that this emperor's younger brother was setting up someone again.
Sure enough, Xue Tianao continued, "Princess Mingyan, if my princess loses in this competition, then I will divorce her immediately..."
"Okay." After hearing that Xue Tian'ao said that she wanted to divorce Dongfang Ningxin, Li Mingyan agreed without hesitation.
Xue Tian'ao smiled coldly, so what if such a useless woman had only a face? She was extremely ignorant. If she had not been born into the royal family, such a woman would probably have died long ago.
"What if you lose, princess?"
"I will not lose." Li Mingyan said arrogantly, looking confident.
"Since the princess is so confident, if you lose, princess, how about you marry my royal brother as your concubine?" Xue Tian'ao continued, but at this time the hot-headed princess did not hear what Xue Tian'ao said at all, only
One sentence.
"good."
"Princess?" Prime Minister Zhang was almost furious. Tianli was just such a princess. Even if she married Emperor Tianyao, she still had to discuss the issue of rank. How could she sell herself out so easily?
When Li Mingyan came back to her senses, she realized that she had agreed to the voice, but she was too confident at this time, and she believed that Xue Tianao knew that Dongfang Ningxin was losing, and just took this opportunity to get rid of the ugly girl.
"Don't worry, this princess will not lose."
After hearing Li Mingyan's words, Zhang Dixiang was not the only one who was depressed. The emperor was even more furious. What a Xue Tianao and such an emperor's younger brother were so powerful.
A bet, no matter who beats Xue Tian'ao, he will be the biggest winner. Dongfang Ning Xin wins. Li Mingyan, who loves Xue Tian'ao, is pushed to his harem, and he openly accepts a woman who loves his younger brother.
Li Ming Yan Sheng, he naturally divorced his grand marriage, no matter what the outcome was, it would be a slap in the face of the emperor.
A win-win situation, a win-win situation for Xue Tianao alone. Looking at Li Mingyan doing bad things, the emperor regretted letting such a stupid woman appear on the stage. This kind of woman can only do bad things...
And who is the happiest here about Li Mingyan's proposal and the bet made by Xue Tian'ao? It's not Li Mingyan but Dongfang Ningxin.
When she heard Xue Tian'ao said that if she, Dongfang Ningxin, lost, he, Xue Tian'ao, would divorce her, her heart skipped a beat. Maybe this was a good opportunity. Although she felt a little reluctant to let go, but...
Xue Tianao is not a good match for her.
As if he had discovered Dongfang Ningxin's thoughts, when Xue Tianao sat down, his big calloused hand held Dongfang Ningxin's small hand that was also calloused.
Her heart skipped a beat, and Dongfang Ning felt a heat radiating from the bottom of her heart, making her whole body feel red, and her mind became confused for a moment.
"You dare to lose and give it a try?" Xue Tianao wrote this sentence directly on the palm of Dongfang Ningxin's hand. The wonderful touch originally made Dongfang Ningxin a little excited and shy. The action of clenching her hands and writing on the palm of her hand.
It was really too ambiguous, but the words on her hand made her wake up instantly.
Can't lose? Dongfang Ningxin's joyful mood suddenly fell to the bottom. She couldn't escape from the man in front of her. Why didn't he get rid of her when there was such a good opportunity? Dongfang Ningxin gritted her teeth with hatred. Dongfang Ningxin married her.
He is also helpless, isn't he?
Dongfang Ningxin stood up, straightening her back, facing everyone's pointing at her face, and at the same time facing everyone's sympathy for her future fate. Everyone present thought that she, Dongfang Ningxin, was destined to lose.
