When Hsieh Hyun-chen turned hostile just now, many people were complaining about him. Why did Hsieh Hyun-chen mess up the peace talks? Five hundred thousand was not a lot. Why did he anger the Northern Tribes for such a small amount of money?
The conversation between Hsieh Hyun-chen and the Yelv Yan became more and more tense. In the end, it was almost like they were about to fight. No one in the hall dared to speak. They thought that the talks were going to fail. How would Ye Chao dare to go to war with the Northern Tribes? But they did not expect that Hsieh Hyun-chen's deterrence in a foreign country was greater than they thought.
In the end, it was the Northern Tribes who did not dare to take the risk.
But no matter what, the result was good. Prime Minister Song quickly came to mediate and changed the topic. He did not dare to talk about national affairs anymore. Today's result was much better than they expected. It would not be too late to talk about the rest later.
Singing and dancing resumed in the hall. The dancers of the Musical House trembled in fear and began to dance the colorful dance again. The people under the stage seemed to have forgotten what happened just now. They continued to drink and chat.
But no one could return to their previous state of mind. No one dared to show it. But there were people in the hall who secretly glanced at Hsieh Hyun-chen.
Hsieh Hyun-chen changed his wine cup and drank with his head lowered. He was like a different person from the murderous person who wanted to go to war just now. Mu Mingtang took the initiative to pick up the wine pot and filled Hsieh Hyun-chen's cup. "Calm down. They don't dare to mention the annual coin anymore. Don't be angry. "
"I'm not angry anymore." After Hsieh Hyun-chen finished speaking, he sighed softly. "There are no eternal friends between the two countries. No matter what the Northern Tribes do, I won't be surprised. But I'm more angry at my own people. "
The Northern Tribes and the Ye Chao did their own things. Hsieh Hyun-chen could understand that the Yelv Yan wanted to take advantage of the Ye Chao. However, he could not accept that the people of his own country were actually so submissive and willing to be slaughtered.
The emperor and prime minister agreed to use the annual coin to ask for peace. What else could they expect from the Northern Tribes? If he couldn't even stand up for himself, how could he blame others for bullying him?
Mu Mingtang sighed silently when he heard that. This topic was heavy, and there was no solution. No matter how much the officials spilled their blood, what was the use if the higher-ups didn't listen? Mu Mingtang filled Hsieh Hyun-chen's glass and said, "You can't drink too much. This glass is enough for today."
After she finished speaking, she casually added, "Don't I still have you?"
The Emperor and the Prime Minister are foolish and weak, but there is you.
If the imperial court is muddleheaded, then change the imperial court. If the current ruler was incompetent, then they would change to another ruler.
Mu Mingtang's voice was quick and soft. Hsieh Hyun-chen was still sitting upright, as if he did not hear him. However, Mu Mingtang knew that Hsieh Hyun-chen had heard it.
The two of them did not continue this topic. Mu Mingtang stared at Hsieh Hyun-chen and drank a glass, then immediately had the palace maids take away the wine. Hsieh Hyun-chen was still cooperating with the young Daoist priest's treatment. Things like wine should not be touched too much.
Mu Mingtang saw that Hsieh Hyun-chen was still gloomy and wanted to tease him, "You're especially handsome today. When you spoke just now, I was shocked by you."
Hsieh Hyun-chen was originally expressionless, but when he heard Mu Mingtang's words, he couldn't help but laugh. He lowered his head and glanced at Mu Mingtang, saying, "Zhong Wuyan when there's something, Xia Yingchun when there's nothing. You were disdaining me just now, and now you're changing your tone. Too fake. "
"This is true." Mu Mingtang said, "These two things don't conflict. When you make trouble for no reason, it's really annoying, but when you say that you won't be married, give up land, or pay tribute, you're really unyielding and handsome. In any case, every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart. It's up to you to believe it or not. "
After being praised by his wife, Hsieh Hyun-chen felt both physically and mentally refreshed. Even the filthy things from just now seemed unimportant. No wonder male peacocks spread their tails when they were courting. Hsieh Hyun-chen could understand this feeling very well.
To be able to receive these words from her, he would do anything.
In the latter half of the banquet, other than Mu Mingtang, everyone else ate without tasting anything. Their minds were elsewhere. After the banquet ended, the Emperor and Empress left one after another. Everyone else also walked out one after another.
Mu Mingtang had been outside for an entire day, and now he was a bit sleepy. Hsieh Hyun-chen brought Mu Mingtang home. When they walked out of the hall, everyone saw them and avoided them from a distance.
Too many things had happened today. After today, they looked at Hsieh Hyun-chen differently.
Hsieh Hyun-chen turned a blind eye, and Mu Mingtang also ignored them. At the door, they met the Yelv Yan and Prime Minister Song's group. The Emperor was the ruler of a country. It was impossible for him to condescend to send a Yelv Yan prince out. Therefore, the matter of receiving the Yelv Yan and the others had always been handled by Prime Minister Song and Xie Xuanji.
Prime Minister Song was a wily old fox for many years, and his speaking skills were excellent. Prime Minister Song was amiably exchanging pleasantries with the Yelv Yan. The Yelv Yan was also patiently listening. They were exchanging greetings when they saw Hsieh Hyun-chen come out.
Everyone was quiet. The two sides greeted Hsieh Hyun-chen one after another. Hsieh Hyun-chen casually nodded, which was considered a response. After the Northern Tribes saw Hsieh Hyun-chen, everyone's expression was not very good. Even the Yelv Yan barely suppressed his expression. He casually greeted him and left.
When Hsieh Hyun-chen came, he didn't even need to say anything to make the Northern Tribes people leave. Prime Minister Song's heart was also very convinced. He still wore the smile of a good old man who had been smoothing things over for many years, and greeted Hsieh Hyun-chen politely. After a series of flowery words, he said: "Prince An and Prince Jin may have something to say. This old official will leave first. Two Princes, Princess, please stay. This old official will leave. "
After Prime Minister Song left, Xie Xuanji stepped forward and cupped his hands to Hsieh Hyun-chen: "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law."
Jiang Mingwei was beside Xie Xuanji, and he followed Hsieh Hyun-chen to greet Mu Mingtang. Xie Xuanji was also very shocked today. Now that he saw Hsieh Hyun-chen, he didn't know how to face him.
Hsieh Hyun-chen dared to say "Then let's start the war" without blinking. Even the Northern Tribes people were stunned by his imposing manner. Xie Xuanji looked at himself and felt a deep sense of powerlessness and defeat.
Hsieh Hyun-chen more or less had to say a few words to Xie Xuanji. When the two of them talked at the side, Mu Mingtang couldn't help but quietly yawn.
She felt that her movements were very small, but she didn't expect that Hsieh Hyun-chen would immediately notice. Hsieh Hyun-chen turned around to look at Mu Mingtang. When Xie Xuanji saw this, he very perceptively said: "It was this younger brother's negligence. I didn't notice that Second Sister-in-law's energy was lacking. It's getting late. Elder Brother and Sister-in-law should quickly go back and rest. "
Xie Xuanji clearly remembered that this afternoon in the garden, Mu Mingtang sweetly said that she didn't have any regrets. Han women were introverted. When Mu Mingtang said this, it was tantamount to admitting that she liked Hsieh Hyun-chen.
Therefore, she was satisfied and didn't have any regrets.
These words were said behind people's backs and couldn't be faked. If she said this in front of a man, perhaps she was deliberately trying to curry favor with him. However, at that time, Mu Mingtang and the others didn't know that they were behind them. When women talk in private, they wouldn't fake it.
Xie Xuanji was also a married man. He knew that Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang would probably be very busy tonight, so he very knowingly excused himself. If he continued to delay Hsieh Hyun-chen and delay Hsieh Hyun-chen's time, he was afraid that he would be disliked.
This was exactly what Hsieh Hyun-chen wanted. He couldn't wait to hurry home. Who would have the patience to chat with this group of men? Hsieh Hyun-chen agreed without hesitation. He was just about to leave with Mu Mingtang when Jiang Mingwei suddenly seemed to remember something and said: "Oh right, Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about what happened this afternoon. It was all a misunderstanding."
Hsieh Hyun-chen's movements froze. He suddenly had a bad premonition. Mu Mingtang suddenly remembered what happened this afternoon. She secretly became nervous and asked: "Why?"
When Jiang Mingwei heard Mu Mingtang ask why, he seemed to be puzzled. She looked at Mu Mingtang and then looked at Hsieh Hyun-chen, who inexplicably tensed up, and was very surprised: "Sister-in-law, didn't Second Brother tell you?"
Mu Mingtang turned to look at Hsieh Hyun-chen and suddenly smiled. He already had a guess in his heart. Hsieh Hyun-chen saw Mu Mingtang's smile and felt goosebumps on his back, but he couldn't do anything to stop it. He could only watch as Mu Mingtang tricked Jiang Mingwei: "You're talking about what happened when we talked this afternoon? Since we're all on the same side, there's no need to pursue the matter. "
Jiang Mingwei felt that these words were a bit strange, but Mu Mingtang was still waiting for her reply. She didn't have time to think about it and said: "That's right. Second Sister-in-law, don't worry. His Highness has already bribed the other people. Those words won't be spread out. "
Very good, it's really Hsieh Hyun-chen. She was wondering who else had such good skills today. Where did the other men get the courage to eavesdrop on the three Wangfei's conversation? It turns out that it's a family thief.
Mu Mingtang was so angry that she could laugh. She smiled and thanked Jiang Mingwei: "Thank you for your reminder, Sister-in-law. Prince Jin is considerate. I thank him."
Xie Xuanji looked at Mu Mingtang and then looked at Hsieh Hyun-chen. He already guessed that they might have inadvertently revealed something. Xie Xuanji was speechless. Hsieh Hyun-chen was the commander of the three armies and had led several major battles. How could he be so childish? He heard his wife's private words and still held it in?
Xie Xuanji pretended not to know. He declined a few words and watched Mu Mingtang and Hsieh Hyun-chen leave. When the two of them turned around, Xie Xuanji clearly saw Mu Mingtang glare at Hsieh Hyun-chen.
Xie Xuanji was speechless for a moment. He suddenly felt nostalgic. These childish and pure thoughts were too far away from him.
There was no doubt that although these actions were childish, they were the most sincere.
Xie Xuanji completely believed that Mu Mingtang had no regrets marrying Hsieh Hyun-chen.
As her ex-fiancé, Xie Xuanji didn't know what to think at this time.
Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't have the mood to pay attention to Xie Xuanji's sighs. He was already too busy to take care of himself.
He originally felt refreshed and satisfied this afternoon. He didn't expect that he would be overjoyed. Now, extreme joy begets sorrow.
When he returned home and sat down in his bedroom, Hsieh Hyun-chen immediately surrendered: "It was me this afternoon. But I can explain. "
