In the past, Man Qin trusted Lu Yaoyao and would help her deal with the Lu family because they had a common enemy. But now, things were different. The Lu family had been avenged. What was left was … the choice between Lu Yaoyao's biological father and her adoptive father. Man Qin couldn't be blamed for not trusting her enough.
Compared with Ye Zhen's somewhat lonely mood, Mo Rongzhan in the palace seemed to be full of spring.
Yesterday, Ye Zhen kissed him for the first time, which proved that she was finally willing to give him another chance. Therefore, even if he had to meet the envoy from Dongqing today, it could not affect his rippling mood.
Mo Rongzhan's good mood was clearly passed to the ministers below. They looked at each other. They had never seen the emperor with such a smile on his face in the court. Did something happy happen last night?
"Your Majesty, the envoy of Dongqing is already outside the palace, asking for an audience." The minister of the Ministry of Rites reminded Mo Rongzhan that it was time to summon the envoy of Dongqing.
The envoy of Dongqing entered the city early this morning. They didn't have time to rest in Honglu Temple before they immediately went to the palace to see the emperor.
When Mo Rongzhan heard that the envoy of Dongqing had arrived, he suppressed the joy in his heart and put on a cold and dignified look again. "Marquis Jingning, have you seen the envoy of Dongqing?"
Tang Zhen and the Ministry of Rites had been responsible for the matter of the envoy of Dongqing. Today, when he heard that the other party had entered the city, he immediately wanted to receive them. Unfortunately, they did not receive them. They only knew that the envoy had settled somewhere in the capital.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen the envoy of Dongqing yet. I don't know how many of them have arrived." Tang Zhen said.
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. "Invite the envoy into the hall."
He sent someone to Dongqing to inquire. The prime minister, who was rumored to be like a god, was the former adviser of the emperor of Dongqing. It seemed that he had only appeared a few years ago. If it weren't for him, Li Heng, who had lost power, might not have been able to ascend the throne smoothly.
"The envoy of Dongqing enters the hall." The voice spread out and fell into the ears of the man standing at the bottom of the steps of the main hall. The man was about 30 years old. He was handsome and elegant, and his eyebrows were like a painting. Although he was almost middle-aged, his temperament was still out of this world. It was unforgettable. This man was the envoy from Dongqing Kingdom.
Hearing the summons from the Jin Emperor, he slightly opened his long and narrow eyes. A dark, cold light flashed in his amber eyes. He revealed a gentle and modest smile and slowly walked up the steps with his head slightly lowered. Behind him followed the envoy from Dongqing who had accompanied him to the Jin Kingdom.
"The envoy from Dongqing has entered the palace …"
The Prime Minister of Dongqing was already famous when Li Heng ascended the throne. There was no one in the hall who wasn't curious about him. Hearing the palace servant's song, they all turned their heads to look at the newcomer.
The man walking at the front was wearing a moon-white robe with dark patterns and silver threads. It made his body look like jade, and his temperament was elegant and out of this world. Before the crowd could see his face clearly, they were already attracted by his aura. What an elegant and noble man.
Looking at his picturesque face, everyone froze, and the expressions on their faces were brilliant.
Mo Rongzhan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the Prime Minister of Dongqing who had already entered the main hall. The moment he appeared in his line of sight, his heart had already turned cold. The joyful mood he had with Ye Zhen at King Qin's Mansion last night had suddenly dissipated.
"Ye … Ye Yiqing?" Someone in the main hall lost control and exclaimed, calling out the name that was on everyone's mind.
"The envoy from Dongqing greets the Emperor of Jin Kingdom. Long live the Emperor." The envoy from Dongqing acted as if he hadn't heard the exclamation in the main hall. He bowed to Mo Rongzhan with a normal expression.
Mo Rongzhan looked at the envoy in front of him with a sharp gaze. He had seen Ye Yiqing before. Although they hadn't met many times, he still remembered his appearance. The envoy in front of him … looked exactly like Ye Yiqing.
"You are … the Prime Minister of Dongqing?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I am the Prime Minister of Dongqing. I am also the envoy who has come to discuss the non-war agreement," the man in white replied lightly. His voice was calm and clear, sounding very pleasant.
Prime Minister Xu stood up and pointed at him. "You are Ye Yiqing?"
"Lord Xu, I didn't expect you to still remember me." The envoy from Dongqing looked at Prime Minister Xu with a smile and admitted the fact that he was Ye Yiqing.
"You …" Prime Minister Xu was shocked by this fact. For a long time, he couldn't say a word.
Ye Yiqing became the Prime Minister of Dongqing? Or a great hero who helped the Emperor of Dongqing ascend the throne? Everyone could only think of this matter at once. Was the Ye family going to become prominent again?
"Lord Ye, please rise." Mo Rongzhan felt a chill in his heart. He felt that his wish to marry Ye Zhen again had become even more difficult.
How could he make Ye Yiqing forgive him for what he had done in the past?
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Yiqing stood up. He still looked indifferent. Looking at the young man sitting on the dragon throne, he hid all his anger and hatred. He knew very well what he represented now.
Mo Rongzhan wondered if Ye Zhen had received the news. Did she already know that Ye Yiqing was the Prime Minister of Dongqing? "Lord Ye, it must have been hard for you to come all the way to the Jin Kingdom."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. For the peace of the border between Dongqing and the Jin Kingdom, this journey is nothing." Ye Yiqing said lightly.
"I heard that Lord Ye arrived in the capital today. You must be tired from the journey. Why don't you rest for two days first and then talk about business?" Mo Rongzhan only hoped to have the opportunity to talk to Ye Yiqing first before he went to see Ye Zhen.
If he guessed correctly, Ye Yiqing should not know that Lu Yaoyao was Ye Zhen.
Ye Yiqing glanced at Mo Rongzhan and felt a little puzzled. Why did he feel that the little bastard's attitude was so different from before? In the past, when he faced him, he never had a good face. But today, he did not have that kind of arrogant momentum.
"Everything will be arranged by Your Majesty." Ye Yiqing said.
Mo Rongzhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At least he could find a chance to find Ye Zhen first. No, should he apologize to Ye Yiqing first? It was he who treated Ye Zhen badly in the past …
"Then the envoys will stay in Honglu Temple first. Marquis Jingning, hold a banquet to entertain the envoys tonight. Let's end the court today." Mo Rongzhan could not wait to end the morning court.
Tang Zhen withdrew his gaze from Ye Yiqing. He did not expect that … the Prime Minister from Dongqing was actually Yao Yao's biological father.
Ye Yiqing looked back at all the people in the hall silently and left the hall with the people who accompanied him.
"It's him …" Prime Minister Xu muttered to himself, "Is the Jin Kingdom going to be in trouble again?"
