"The princess' words are really interesting..." Wei Zixuan only met Princess Hou Yan once and already felt good about her. She smiled lightly and said: "In the future, if the princess is free, you can come to the Prime Minister's Mansion more often."
!”
"Of course!" Murong Lanying also wished to make more friends, nodding and smiling without hesitation.
When everyone arrived, the ministers entered through the Yunlong Gate and the East Zhonghua Gate, and came to sit under the East Pavilion. Amidst a burst of drum music, Xiao Heng slowly walked out, and everyone knelt down and worshiped.
The sound of the drums stopped, and all the officials presented gifts and congratulations in order of rank. Finally, the envoys sent by the Northern Wei Dynasty also sent rich and precious congratulatory gifts to express the sincerity of the Northern Wei Dynasty's willingness to make peace with Dayin.
"This time Gao Mou came to Dayin to attend the Zhengdan court meeting on the order of our emperor. This is to show our sincerity in the Northern Wei Dynasty and Dayin's marriage. Our emperor appointed Gao Mou as an envoy and also wanted Gao Mou to meet Dayin.
The princess is so beautiful, I wonder if your majesty can invite her to come out and see her?"
Xiao Heng frowned slightly. He did not expect that this envoy from the Northern Wei Dynasty would directly ask to see their princess of Dayin. Even when he responded to the Northern Wei Dynasty with some evasive words, the Northern Wei Dynasty did not hesitate and instead sent an envoy to send such a gift.
Many gifts!
Even so, Xiao Heng did not want his daughter to come out like this, and said with a faint smile: "Envoy Gao, my beloved daughter is still on the sickbed, so it is inconvenient to come out to see her. When she recovers, I will prepare a sufficient dowry for her.
Send her to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it won’t be too late to meet again then!”
The envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty seemed to have expected that Xiao Heng would make such excuses. He subconsciously glanced at Murong Lanying, the princess of Houyan, who was standing next to Chen Guogong Li Yuanzhe, and said quietly: "I, the Northern Wei Dynasty and Houyan are also Xianbei
My clan, your country is so quick to make peace with Hou Yan, but you have repeatedly shied away from making peace with me in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and is even unwilling to let the princess come out to meet you. Could it be that your Majesty has some prejudice against me in the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
When the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty said this, the expressions of all the ministers present changed slightly, and Prince Xiao Changgong also frowned in displeasure.
When the envoy mentioned Hou Yan, the contempt revealed in his words made Princess Murong Lanying of Hou Yan even more indignant!
It is true that Hou Yan was far inferior to the Northern Wei in terms of national strength and military strength, but as the princess of Hou Yan, she could not remain indifferent to the disdainful expressions of the Northern Wei envoys when they mentioned Hou Yan.
Murong Lanying ignored Li Yuanzhe and secretly grabbed her hand. Without waiting for Xiao Heng to speak, she responded loudly: "Although Hou Yan and Northern Wei belong to Xianbei, they do not belong to the same branch. They have long intermarried with Han people...
And I, Hou Yan, have always treated people warmly, and the marriage agreement is a matter of good relations between the two countries. It is a natural thing, how can it be compared with the marriage agreement in the Northern Wei Dynasty? "
The meaning of her words is very obvious. The first sentence is still insinuating that the Northern Wei Dynasty is a tribe of barbarians, and the second sentence directly points out that the Northern Wei Dynasty is sincere and friendly, but in fact it is aggressive!
When the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty faced the overt and insidious sarcasm of Princess Hou Yan, Murong Lanying, his expression did not change at all. Instead, he sneered and replied: "Princess Hou Yan's words are wrong. Although I, the Northern Wei Dynasty, cannot compare with Hou Yan, I am willing to take the city to compete with the Great Empire."
We have a good relationship with Yin, but this marriage is also sincere!"
When he said this, he paused and added slowly: "As for what the princess said about different branches, Gao also agrees. After all, our men in the Northern Wei Dynasty are all powerful and brave, and they never flinch even in battle.
Where can I compare to Hou Yan who still needs the princess to fight in person?"
