The tribute banquet was naturally filled with wine and everyone exchanged toasts with one another, and suddenly there was an appearance of prosperity and peace. It was just that at the VIP banquet, Emperor Wen Hui and the Crown Prince of the Qin, HuangFu Hao, had some fear in their conversation and when it fell into the eyes of the observant people, naturally they were well aware of it.
In the Qin country, Great Liang and Ming Qi. Ming Qi was the weakest, the Qin country was second and the Great Liang was the strongest. And that Emperor Yong Le's valiant style made the Qin country and Ming Qi fearful, thus they were very respectful towards this Prince Rui from the Great Liang. As for HuangFu Hao, when he was talking to Prince Rui, there were many probing sounds in his words.
Most of the female guests had their eyes glued onto this Prince Rui, and every move and action was pleasing to the eye because of this reason. In fact, there was no lack of outstanding looks in the Ming Qi's males, for example Fu Xiu Yi, but in front of this Prince Rui, they lacked the unique elegance and nobility, and seemed somewhat clumsy.
Even though Luo Tan also loved beauties, she had a quick temper and very quickly her attention was attracted by the delicacies. She tasted this, tasted that, and was very happy.
Because the tribute banquet did not differentiate between males and females, the entire official family sat together. Luo Ling also sat close to Shen Miao and when he saw that Shen Miao was not eating, he placed a piece of snowflake cake in front of Shen Miao's hands and said warmly, "Biao Younger Sister should also eat something else one would not have the strength to return."
Shen Qiu originally wanted to give Shen Miao a piece, but Luo Ling had already beaten him to it, and did not know where to place the snowflake cake in his chopsticks. His bowl was already full, moreover why would a grown man eat snowflake cake. After thinking about it, he placed it in front of Feng An Ning who was the closest to Shen Miao.
Feng An Ning was overwhelmed by the favour and after giving her thanks, she did not eat and just stared blankly at the snowflake cake.
But just at this moment, one heard HuangFu Hao suddenly speaking, "BenGong heard that the Formidable Great General, General Shen, had returned to the capital a few days ago. BenGong had always heard of the Formidable Great General's name, but do not know if there is the honour to meet him today? "
When the words were said, the lively banquet suddenly quietened down.
The Crown Prince of the Qin wanted to meet Shen Xin? What did that mean?
Shen Xin and the Crown Prince of the Qin were not related at all, but now one of them was the Great General that Emperor Wen Hui had just recalled back to the Ding capital and the other was the Crown Prince of the Qin country, thus their identities were very sensitive. Everyone involuntarily looked at Emperor Wen Hui's expression.
Emperor Wen Hui's smile did not change, as if this was a very small request before looking at Shen Xin, "Official Shen."
Shen Xin quickly stood up and bowed to HuangFu Hao, "This general greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."
HuangFu Hao smiled, "I have long heard that General Shen is brave and invincible, that even the scattered troops at the borders can form a new formation. That day when the Shen family army returned to the capital, the commoners lined the streets and cheered. Ai. "He gave a long sigh," If our Great Qin also have such a talented general, then we would not have to worry for a hundred years. "
Emperor Wen Hui's pupils shrunk unnoticeably and the expressions of the ministers at the banquet changed as they looked at Shen Xin with complicated gazes.
He said that Shen Xin could form a formation even if the army was scattered at the border. On the surface, he was praising Shen Xin's outstanding talent but he was implicitly mentioning Shen Xin's danger. The tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind. This was a logic that existed since ancient times. And for the commoners to have such a high voice, for a general who was expelled from the capital by the Emperor, it meant that in front of the Imperial family and Shen Xin, the commoners were on Shen Xin's side. No Imperial family would tolerate a subordinate whose voice was higher than their own.
As for the last sentence, it really pushed Shen Xin to the teeth of the storm. HuangFu Hao was trying to dig Shen Xin over in front of Emperor Wen Hui. No matter how the ministers of Ming Qi had ulterior motives, in the face of a foreign enemy, they would be united against them. The gaze that they used to look at Shen Xin was like looking at a general who had committed treason.
