215. Chapter 215: Studying Medicine and Hiding in the City 17
After a moment, Cang Jingtian ordered: "Go and invite them in immediately. Don't neglect them. I will meet them at the court hall."
"Yes!" Eunuch Xu hurriedly went to do it and went to the palace gate in person to welcome the envoy of Xijiao and the prince of Xijiao into the palace.
------------------Boundary Line-----------------
The solemn and magnificent palace.
The officials kneeling outside the court hall had already left. Cang Jingtian put on his dragon robe, stepped onto the dragon chair and sat down.
The next moment, a sharp announcement that penetrated the sky sounded outside the empty court hall, "The prince of Xijiao and the envoy of Xijiao have an audience!"
As soon as the sound fell, a handsome and sunny young man and a rugged and sturdy middle-aged man were seen entering the hall one after another, wearing Western clothes that were different from those in the Central Plains.
"Meet the Emperor, please forgive us for our presumptuous arrival." The two people who came in put their right hands on their left shoulders and bowed to Cang Jingtian on the dragon chair. This is the etiquette of Xijiao, equivalent to the Central Plains.
of salute.
"Prince and envoy, please excuse yourself!" Cang Jingtian immediately said with a smile, majestic and calm yet approachable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them thanked each other and stood up. The next moment, Prince Xijiao spoke again, "Your Majesty, about half a month ago, the Huns suddenly sent people to secretly enter Xijiao to ask for an audience with their father, but they were intercepted by his father.
I refused and was kicked out of Xijiao by my father. After that, my father immediately organized a team and ordered me to lead the team to pay tribute to the emperor. I wanted to know more about the culture of the Central Plains and promote exchanges with the Central Plains. At the same time, I also wanted to learn more about the culture of the Central Plains.
I want to marry a princess of the Celestial Dynasty and be forever friendly with the Celestial Dynasty."
With that said, Prince Xijiao bowed again.
Cang Jingtian watched and listened, frowning slightly. Unexpectedly, the Xiongnu actually sent people to enter Xijiao. Fortunately, the king of Xijiao did not agree. As for the marriage, he had this intention, and he had thought about giving away the princess not long ago.
In the past, I tried to win over Xi Kuo. Now, this is a coincidence. However, since it is a marriage proposal, why are there only two people here now? "That's very good, very good, and that's what I mean."
"It is my honor to marry the princess of the Celestial Dynasty." Hearing what Cang Jingtian said, the prince of Xijie bowed again, and then changed his tone and said: "Your Majesty, on our way here, I happened to hear
He said that the emperor wanted to kill Xin Moge, the crown prince of Xin. Back then, Princess Xin was kind to my father. Now, many years later, I didn’t expect that Prince Xin would cut off the father-son relationship with Prince Xin. The envoy and I broke away from the team and rushed all night
I came here just to ask the emperor to be accommodating and let Prince Xin go, which would be considered as repaying the kindness of Princess Xin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cang Jingtian's expression suddenly changed, and the hand covering the handle of the dragon chair suddenly tightened, but it quickly returned to its original state, too fast for anyone to notice. Unexpectedly, the prince of Xijiao and the envoy of Xijiao would arrive today.
It was because of this. At the moment, the procession of Xi Yao asking for marriage and paying tribute is still on the way. If he does not agree, it will be too small for the team to retreat. They are afraid that King Xi Yao will think that he does not even give him such a little face and turn into enemies.
, colluded with the Huns...
"Your Majesty, my king values Princess Xin's kindness very much, and I hope that for the sake of my king and the prince who came here day and night, he can be generous." The envoy from Xijiu spoke helpfully.
Cang Jingtian was silent...
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall changed obviously...
At this time, Eunuch Xu from outside the palace suddenly walked in quickly, bowed to Cang Jingtian first, then walked up the stairs next to Cang Jingtian, walked to Cang Jingtian, and said to Cang Jingtian in a voice that only Cang Jingtian and himself could hear.
