Beitang Yu was an ambitious person. Even if he looked like a cultured and refined scholar, but since many years ago, he had already made up his mind to conquer the world, especially the State of Qi. Unfortunately, three years ago, he underestimated others and overestimated himself.
He had underestimated the strength of the Jin Kingdom, thinking that the Jin Kingdom was still the same as when the old Emperor was still alive. He did not take Mo Rongzhan seriously, and the result was the defeat of his 200,000 troops, which directly led to the ongoing civil strife in the Dark North Kingdom.
However, this did not mean that he would admit defeat.
Although the State of Dongqing no longer existed, he did not feel that the Heavenly Concubine of Yuan was a threat. A vassal state was a vassal state. He only recognized this land. Therefore, when he was publicly contradicted, Beitang Yu was a little unhappy. He looked back at Tang Zhen, but he did not recognize him.
"Your Majesty, that is Marquis Jingning of the Jin Kingdom, Tang Zhen." It was someone beside Beitang Yu who reminded him in a low voice.
"I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Marquis Jingning of the Jin Kingdom. What, did your Jin Kingdom bow down so quickly and become a vassal state of Yuan?" The one who spoke was a prince of the Northern Dark Kingdom. He was the prince who accompanied Beitang Yu this time. His name was Beitang Zhi.
Tang Zhen glanced at him lightly. "Ignorant people always don't know how ridiculous they are."
"Marquis Jingning, you are wrong. It is already a very shameful thing for others to be ignorant. How can you say it out loud?" Ye Chunnan strode in. He didn't even look at Beitang Yu directly. He sat down next to Wanyan Xi and looked at Tang Zhen with a smile.
"Is this how the Yuan Kingdom treats its guests?" Beitang Zhi asked with a cold snort.
Zhao Yong took a sip of wine and said with a faint smile, "When others say that you are ignorant, it is best not to speak again, so as not to lose more face. I remind you that Marquis Jingning and General Ye are both from the Jin Kingdom. They are both distinguished guests. You want them to treat you as a distinguished guest? Who do you think you are? "
Beitang Zhi's face instantly sank. The others in the hall all bowed their heads and held back their laughter. It was clear that they were watching a joke.
"It's just a joke. Don't take it seriously." Beitang Yu smiled gently and picked up the wine glass in his hand. "General Ye, I've heard of you for a long time."
"I have also heard of your great name for a long time." He was always thinking of killing him with his own hands when he had the chance.
Beitang Yu said with a smile, "I remember now, General Ye's wife seems to be the daughter of General Jin. In this way, General Ye is half a son-in-law of our Dark North Kingdom. He is also a family."
Only today did Ye Chunnan know that this Beitang Yu who looked so noble and virtuous was actually so despicable and shameless. He was even half a son-in-law. When he killed General Jin, why didn't he think that General Jin had risked his life for the Dark North Kingdom for so many years?
"I am Great General Jin's son-in-law. As for whether or not Great General Jin is willing to be a family with you, you still have to ask him." Ye Chunnan coldly said.
Beitang Yu was still not annoyed nor angry, it seemed that he did not take Ye Chunnan's indifference to heart.
"The Heavenly Concubine has arrived." The voice of a palace servant came from outside.
The whole hall suddenly quieted down. Although they all participated in the founding ceremony this morning, they only glanced at it from a distance and did not see the appearance of the Heavenly Concubine. Now that they could see it up close, they naturally wanted to know what this Heavenly Concubine looked like. The legendary first beauty in the world still left a deep impression on them.
Ye Rou came together with Mo Rongzhan. Although she had officially become the Heavenly Consort of Yuan Country, Mo Rongzhan was still the most important person in her heart. Furthermore, she needed him by her side. She did not want to rely on him, she just wanted to stand by his side.
She was not wearing the auspicious dress she wore in the morning, but a dark purple robe embroidered with a fire phoenix. The skirt was long and dragged on the ground, showing her nobility and a bit of coquettishness. It was a perfect match for Mo Rongzhan's clothes. When the two came together, people could not help but feel moved, as if there was no husband and wife more suitable than them in the world.
Zhao Yong looked at Ye Zhen with burning eyes. He knew that she was a rare beauty. When he only saw her pregnant figure, he could not forget her for two years. Now that he saw her dressed up, he realized that he only saw 30% of her beauty.
How many lives of luck did Mo Rongzhan cultivate?
Shui Yichen had the same idea as Zhao Yong. He just glanced at her and then lowered his head. He felt that there was a beast roaring in his heart. If he did not suppress it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Brother, Sister Ye is so beautiful." Shui Miaomiao, who was standing beside him, sighed in a low voice.
Shui Yichen responded faintly.
"Will Sister Ye be like the legendary Heavenly Concubine and let the ministers enter the palace to serve her?" Shui Miaomiao blinked, really curious.
She had heard the legend of the Heavenly Concubine since she was a child.
Shui Yichen's heart seemed to be hit by something, and even his heartbeat accelerated.
"Miaomiao, don't talk." Zhao Tianji broke into a cold sweat as he listened. What ministers? If Mo Rongzhan heard this, he would definitely jump up and go berserk.
Did this pair of brother and sister not understand the rules on their side, or did they think that the Central Plains was the same as the Atlantic Ocean? No, that's not right. The emperor of Hua Country only had one concubine. Was the legendary Heavenly Concubine so … valiant? But the point was that it was just a legend.
There was no such thing as polygamy in the Central Plains.
It seemed that he had to teach Shui Miaomiao a good lesson later, lest her nonsense be heard by Mo Rongzhan. If that happened, Mo Rongzhan would certainly not let her go.
Most importantly, the terrible idea of polygamy must not exist! Even if she was talking about the Heavenly Concubine.
Shui Miaomiao was pulled back by Zhao Tianji. She looked at him curiously. "What's wrong?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhao Tianji reminded her in a low voice. Seeing that she was still very confused, he shook his head gently and looked at the Heavenly Concubine and Mo Rongzhan who had already taken their seats.
Mo Rongzhan sat in the upper left seat, and his position was a little different. It was not aligned with Zhao Yong's upper right seat, but closer to Ye Zhen. The difference could be seen at a glance. Everyone else was a distinguished guest, only he was a family member.
"Congratulations, Heavenly Concubine. The founding ceremony went smoothly. Now, Yuan Country has officially established itself in the world." Zhao Yong looked at Ye Zhen with a smile, deliberately pretending that Mo Rongzhan did not exist.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "Thank you, Emperor of Qi."
Her gaze faintly glanced over and landed on Beitang Yu who was sitting beside Zhao Yong. Sure enough, it was the same as what Ye Chunnan had said. This Beitang Yu had delicate features and it was hard to associate him with the tyrant who started the war three years ago.
While she was evaluating Beitang Yu, Beitang Yu was also weighing this Heavenly Concubine in his heart.
The smile in his eyes became more and more confident.
