Why was he disgusted?
Was he disgusted with the Tianhan Dynasty or himself?
But didn't they just meet for the first time?
Was it because of the Tianhan Dynasty?
Yes, it must be.
Just when everyone thought that Baili Sa would be even happier and might even take her as a concubine, he didn't even bat an eyelid.
He didn't even look at Gongxi Xiaoxiao, as if the previous scene was an illusion.
The envoy of the Tianhan Dynasty couldn't figure out what the king meant, so he could only bite the bullet and repeat himself.
"Your Majesty, Princess Xiaoxiao is the most beautiful treasure of the Tianhan Dynasty. She's proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, war, and dance. She's a very intelligent woman.
"Everyone says that beauties are heroes. You're the most ambitious person in the world. It's great to have such a knowledgeable beauty accompany you and help you solve some of your daily chores."
If the envoy didn't know that the king had a strange temper, he would have been more direct.
Before he came here, the Imperial Concubine had instructed him to send the remaining orphan daughter of the late Queen Consort out.
If he succeeded, he would be a third-rank official when he returned and would be endlessly rewarded.
Just thinking about it made him excited. After so many years, he could finally see the future. How could he not be serious?
But … what's wrong with the king?
Didn't the rumors say that he liked beauties? Almost no one could match up to the people they sent.
In the Tianhan Dynasty, other than the Crown Prince, Princess Xiaoxiao was the most beautiful.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the main hall froze. The envoys from various countries looked down and weighed their options.
It seemed that sending beauties wouldn't work. Fortunately, they had other plans.
They were afraid that accidents would happen. They really had to thank the Tianhan Dynasty.
The envoy and Gongxi Xiaoxiao were extremely nervous. They didn't know what this meant.
Especially Gongxi Xiaoxiao, who had experienced it once. In her previous life, even if that person came, she was summoned to the palace.
Although she wasn't a concubine, she was his confidant. But now …
Was it the butterfly effect of her rebirth?
No, it definitely wasn't. She shouldn't scare herself. She took a deep breath and calmed down.
But she couldn't control her eyes. They kept drifting to the person on the throne.
Perhaps she didn't even realize how obsessed and lustful she was.
"I don't want disobedient eyes."
In the silent hall, Bai Li Sa suddenly opened his mouth. His deep voice carried an irresistible pressure that directly struck their hearts.
In an instant, everyone was trembling with fear as they quickly digested the meaning of his words. What did he mean by disobedient eyes?
What did they just do? Or did someone do something?
Suddenly, their gazes landed on Gongxi Xiaoxiao.
Before the monarch said those words, she was the only one who looked at the monarch with that kind of gaze, so those words were directed at her.
Gongxi Xiaoxiao also reacted and her face paled.
Biting her lips tightly, she didn't dare to raise her head. No one understood his cruelty better than she did, and no one understood that he meant what he said.
Since he said that, and in such a situation, it meant that he really wanted to gouge her eyes out!
The chill in his heart spread, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
She clearly hadn't done anything, so why did it become like this?
Not only did he not get any mercy, he did not even look at him favorably. It should not be like this.
The difference between this and her previous life was too great, and she couldn't accept it.
Suppressing her surging emotions, she felt that there must be a problem somewhere, but she had overlooked it. Where was it?
Wait, Nanmen Xun!
That's right, it was her!
In her previous life, she had appeared together with the monarch. Before she had a falling out with her and greeted her, the monarch had already found out about her identity.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that the monarch had arranged for her to enter the palace because of his love for her.
Now that Nanmen Xun didn't know the monarch, she had also become a complete stranger.
Pursing her lips, she was very vexed. She had been careless and forgotten such an important thing.
After finding the problem, Gongxi Xiaoxiao instantly relaxed.
With her understanding of the monarch, she would definitely be able to win his heart. The situation before her was only temporary.
With a mental preparation, Gongxi Xiaoxiao decided not to be so rash.
The envoy from Tianhan wasn't as mentally strong as her. He was so scared that his legs trembled.
Cold sweat kept pouring out of his forehead as he tried to think of a solution.
This was the only gift they had prepared this time. If the monarch wasn't satisfied, there was nothing they could do.
If he got angry and implicated them, wouldn't everyone be doomed?
Even if he was lucky to be fine, how would he explain it to the imperial concubine when he returned?
The dilemma made the envoy regret his decision.
Who was the one who said that the monarch liked beauties?!
This was misleading, misleading.
"Your … Your Majesty, please forgive this subject's rudeness. This subject will send Wang Chuanxin an even more precious gift to you."
Wiping away the sweat that was about to fall from his forehead, the envoy spoke in a trembling voice.
At this point, he could only try his best to salvage the situation.
Baili Sa waved his hand casually, as if agreeing to the envoy's suggestion.
The envoy heaved a sigh of relief and returned to his seat. His back was already cold.
His heart was at ease. As long as there was still room for negotiation, it meant that there was still a chance.
Gongxi Xiaoxiao's nails dug into her flesh, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
She had to find a way to stay. If she returned, there was really nothing she could do. By then, that person would definitely attract him again.
She would never allow such a thing to happen.
"Your Majesty, I, Gu Teng, present …"
After the various countries presented their exquisite treasures, the tense atmosphere in the golden palace seemed to soften a little.
However, other than Cang De's gift that was greatly rewarded at the beginning, the other countries only rewarded them.
But it was much better than the Tianhan Country that didn't receive any rewards and almost angered the monarch. They were all very satisfied.
"Everyone, you have come from afar and must be tired. Now, please go to the palace that has been arranged for you to rest. His Majesty will prepare a welcome banquet for you in the evening."
Liu An immediately stepped forward and said loudly when he saw His Majesty's signal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the people in the high seats left, the people kneeling below also left in twos and threes.
Gongxi Xiaoxiao and the envoy of the Tianhan Dynasty who walked at the back didn't like each other, but they couldn't fall out with each other.
"Lord Jin, I wonder if you are interested in making a deal with me."
Gongxi Xiaoxiao thought about it and said slowly.
She felt that she couldn't just sit and wait. If she couldn't change the monarch's mind in these two days, she would have to return to the country with the main group in three days.
A trace of gloominess flashed across her eyes. This wasn't what she wanted.
The envoy who was called Lord Jin looked at the woman beside him suspiciously and thought for a while.
"I wonder what kind of deal the princess wants to make with me."
Gongxi Xiaoxiao sneered in her heart. This old thing was really a fence-sitter. He would side with whoever the wind blew.
