The first thousand one hundred and eighty-three chapters meet the envoy
"She said at that time that she was a noble princess, so what do we, the female dependents of the Duke's mansion, mean to us? We all have to make way for her. This is the difference between monarch and minister. What's more, she also asked us female dependents to get out and apologize to her. My grandmother also
In the carriage, don't you think this means not taking my grandmother seriously?"
"As for finding fault with my daughter, that's nonsense. My daughter and she have never met each other before. Today is the first time we meet, so how can we find fault with her? Mother, please be careful!"
Seeing that Yao Mengxian was not humble and silent, with no fear on her face and speaking clearly, Ke Shi's face became darker than before.
"You are very eloquent, but even if the princess went too far at that time, you should not have done anything to her. This matter will not end well. If you get into trouble, you will inevitably bring trouble to the house, and you will definitely be punished.
What's more, if I don't punish you first, I won't be able to explain it to the princess."
Ke's cold eyes looked at Yao Mengxian, his hawk-like eyes seemed to poke a hole in her body.
"Don't blame mother. If the government punishes you first, it will be difficult for the Daxing envoy to catch this matter again. This is all for your own good. These people are not so easy to talk to. The government will definitely punish you.
It's appropriate. This is all for the sake of the family. As the eldest daughter-in-law, you have enjoyed many benefits brought by the family, but you must also take responsibility for the family's reputation."
Yao Mengxian's heart sank, wondering what punishment awaited her today. I hope Wanxiang would be smarter, otherwise she would have to shed her skin today even if she didn't die.
Filial piety is greater than heaven. If your parents want to punish you, even if you are not wrong, you still have to endure it.
"Let's do this! First, give me twenty punishments with the cane, and then kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole day and night! After you have recovered a little from your injuries, I will punish you by copying the female precepts a hundred times, so that you will have a long memory!"
Ke Shi said it in an understatement, but in Yao Mengxian's ears it was like thunder on the ground. Twenty canes? How could she still survive?
Even though the punishment of the stick may be light or heavy, it is an order given by Mr. Ke. Do we still expect these women to be merciful?
Even Mother Liu glanced at Ke in surprise, twenty? Isn't it too heavy? If the third girl is beaten for good or bad, how should she explain this?
The third girl's fiancé is Mr. Gu, who is very popular in the court. If the marriage ends because of his wife, the old man and his wife will not let his wife go.
"Ahem! Madam?" Mother Liu coughed lightly. Even if Madam doesn't like the third girl, she can't go too far!
"Madam, Mother Liang from the Gu family is here!" The girl outside the door came to deliver the message, interrupting the voices in the room.
"Let her come in and answer!" Ke's face stiffened, and he sent someone over early in the morning, making it clear that he was here to support her.
After Liang's mother left, Ke's face became gloomier than before, but she finally calmed down.
"Madam! The old lady said that you are going to take the three girls to the palace for a banquet today. I am afraid that you will forget, so I sent someone to remind you."
Ke frowned, "Sister Xian made such a mistake, and still let her go to the palace for a banquet? Isn't this a joke in our house? When the princess saw Sister Xian, she started making trouble regardless of it. This
This is not a good thing for Sister Xian and our family."
"The steward in the old lady's house came just now and said that this was what the old lady meant. The old lady said that the third girl had done nothing wrong and there was no need to avoid people. She should go to the banquet in a fair and open manner!"
When Ke heard this, her silver teeth almost shattered. She glared at Yao Mengxian fiercely. Did she go to bring in reinforcements a long time ago?
"Since the old man said so, you should go back and dress up first! We'll talk about the punishment after you come back from the palace!" Ke Shi waved his hand and simply turned a blind eye.
She wants to punish this girl, and protect both of them, huh! She wants to see if the princess can give up?
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The ministers were originally whispering among themselves, but upon hearing the words, they immediately stood up and turned their gazes to their superiors.
It is really not easy for them to see the emperor now. They are all taking advantage of the envoy, which is really ironic when they think about it.
"I have been unwell these days, which has delayed a lot of state affairs. Fortunately, all your beloved ministers have taken care of my worries, so I can rest in peace and recuperate!" The emperor thought in a hoarse voice, and the ministers couldn't help but secretly look at the emperor again.
Yin Kun couldn't help but take a few more glances. Before, Jin Yu said that the emperor's body was at the end of his strength, but now he saw that the emperor's face was really ugly.
"Your Majesty! I have a memorial for you!" Yu Zheng, the Minister of Rites, couldn't bear it anymore. Of course he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity today.
When the others saw Yu Zheng coming out, they were also eager to try. Gu Cheng had a keen ear and naturally understood that these people wanted to seize the opportunity to participate in his own book.
After all, his recent vigorous and resolute methods have caused some people to suffer a lot.
"We will not discuss state affairs today, but summon the Seventh Prince of Daxing and the envoys!" The emperor waved his hand. His energy was limited and he didn't know how long he could stay up, so naturally he would meet with the envoys first.
"Proclaim it!"
Yu Zheng's face suddenly turned green. He reluctantly returned to the queue, glared at Gu Chengyu, and stopped in frustration.
"It is said that the seventh prince of Daxing, Ge Yuan, has an audience with the envoy!"
Gu Chengyu listened to the singing sounds coming from outside the hall, and couldn't help but think of Gu Wanqian. After acknowledging his ancestor and returning to the clan, he still changed his name.
It seems that Ge Yuan doesn't want to have anything to do with the Gu family. When he came back this time, he didn't go back to see his grandmother! I don't know if he asked for news or knew that his grandmother had passed away.
"The Seventh Prince of Daxing, Geyuan, meets the Emperor!"
"Daxing envoy Zaer meets the emperor!"
"Haha! Okay! The seventh prince and his envoys came all the way, which shows Daxing's sincerity!" The emperor laughed loudly, his voice full of energy.
Gu Chengyu cursed in his heart, the emperor has really worked hard, you should take it easy!
After the two sides exchanged a few words, they got to the main topic.
"Before coming here, my father told me to show enough sincerity. It would be great if our two countries could form a good relationship between Qin and Jin." Ge Yuan said with a smile.
His eyes unconsciously glanced at Gu Chengyu, who was standing in the left column. He hadn't seen him for many days, and Gu Chengyu was still so handsome and elegant. But the other person didn't even look at him now, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Of course! The people will suffer in this war! Since Daxing is full of sincerity, we in Dayan still hope that the two countries can coexist peacefully."
The emperor nodded. Daxing's envoy traveled thousands of miles to come to Dayan. He had already lowered his attitude. But don't make any excessive demands when the time comes. He said this to remind the seventh prince.
"Therefore, my father believes that the best way to have friendly relations between the two countries is to get married." Ge Yuan smiled with a smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart that he was still a servant. Although he did not sign the deed of betrayal, he probably
It's no different.
However, now he was standing here with his uncle. He didn't know what he felt in his heart. In short, he had mixed feelings.
