The others have been speechless for too many times today and have no emotion at all. Everyone is looking at the main hall and the courtiers who came to attend the palace banquet with great interest. Because of this important event, everyone who comes in must say congratulations from the Lu family. , even people like Mingze and others who were not involved in the court received a few compliments.

It’s really very face-saving.

Soon the emperor and queen came. The couple and their three children looked like a happy family.

After arriving, the eldest prince habitually came to the Lu family to sit with the dog. The second princess also came to greet Jiang Jiuniang first. Only the little prince glared at Jiang Jiuniang and said nothing. He refused to forgive Jiang Jiuniang for bullying the children that day.

The smile on the Empress’s face never stopped, which showed that she was really happy. Everyone stood up to greet each other, but the Emperor excused them from kneeling and sat down after casually saying a few polite words. .

After that, the emperor began to give his real speech.

"Today, I am very angry, but also very happy. I am angry that there are so many moths in my court, which have been eating away at my court in Beiyan. I am happy that there are still many moths around me. There are humerus ministers like the Lu family, the Qin family, etc., who are paying and contributing to me and Beiyan! Although there are countless foreign enemies now, especially the envoys of the island country who are still eyeing the capital, I believe that the remaining dear friends, They are all talents who benefit the country and the people. They are the pillars of the country. They will work together to drive the foreign enemies out of Beiyan and restore stability to the people!"

"I would like to toast you all! I hope you can continue to maintain your integrity. , and continue to work hard for the prosperity of Beiyan!"

As he spoke, the emperor raised his wine glass.

“Keep working hard for the prosperity of Beiyan!”

Everyone echoed loudly, raised their glasses one after another, and drank it in one gulp following the emperor’s actions.

Although it was a banquet, it was inevitable that things in the court would be brought up during the banquet. The emperor took the initiative to talk about the envoys of the island country and said: "Now everyone who has colluded with the envoys of the island country has been arrested. But these envoys refuse to leave Beiyan. I am very troubled by this. I wonder if you have any good plans?"

Today is a banquet. There are men, women and children. Logically speaking, it is a banquet. You shouldn't say such things, but the emperor took the initiative to mention it, and the civil and military officials couldn't say anything more. They just lowered their heads and started to think of a solution.

After a while, someone spoke up: "Your Majesty, the islanders' goal is Pangu Jade and the treasure behind it. We might as well comply with their wishes and give Pangu Jade to them! Before, Mrs. Lu didn't There will be a piece of imitation Pangu Jade, which can almost be fake. Since it can deceive the people of Dongting, why can’t it deceive the people of the island country?”

“This is a good idea, I think it can be done like this!”

“I think it’s inappropriate, DaoOur country is just a small country, why should we give it to them if they want Pangu Jade? We had no relationship before, but now that we want our national treasure, we will give it to him as soon as he is asked. Aren’t we giving him face? Furthermore, their motives are impure and they have been wreaking havoc in our territory. We haven't held them accountable yet, so why should we give them Pangu Jade? It doesn’t even work if it’s fake! "

"I reconsider! ”

…

Several ministers started to quarrel, and a situation of confrontation between the two parties was formed in an instant.

One party advocated giving a holiday Yes, hurry up and send these plague gods away to reduce trouble. One party is a tough nut, and they don’t want to give it even if it is fake.

The emperor felt that what they said was very reasonable, and he didn’t know which side to take for a while. Good.

After all, giving them fake ones seems like they are afraid of the small island nation. If they don’t give them, they are worried that these little Biden will cause some trouble in Beiyan.

After all, the safety of the people is the most important thing.

Jiang Jiuniang kept her head down while working, and didn’t pay much attention to the ministers who started to quarrel. After she had eaten for a round, she turned around and asked the person next to her. Lotus: "What do you think, if this happened to you, how would you deal with it? ”

Lianhua didn’t expect Jiang Jiuniang to ask her such a question. After all, she didn’t have any official position, she was just here to make a living.

But it was just a matter of them talking in private. , it shouldn’t be anything bad, so he said: “I think I will bite you back. "

Jiang Jiuniang suddenly became interested and continued to ask: "Oh? What kind of bite? "

" Lianhua continued to lower her voice: "Just because they brought a prostitute to marry and said they wanted our Pangu Jade, we can say that they are maliciously offensive and disrespectful of our country and our country." Your Majesty, let them give an explanation. Although a poor woman was involved in this matter, since she was chosen to do this kind of thing, she couldn't escape it. Of course, we are mainly targeting the imperial court of the island country, taking the opportunity to belittle them for not being able to produce anything good and only playing dirty tricks. Third Aunt, do you think my idea is okay? "

Lianhua was careful when speaking. After all, in the entire Beiyan, other women except Jiang Jiuniang were not allowed to discuss the government affairs. She was still at the palace banquet. If someone heard about it, she would not know that she would make a fuss. If anything happens, she doesn't want to cause trouble to her family.

Jiang Jiuniang replied with a smile: "Okay, why not? Your Majesty, my wife has something to say! ”

She said, raising her hands high, drawing all the attention of the audience to herself.

Lotus was startled and felt bad in her heart. With a premonition, she hurriedly grabbed Jiang Jiu Niang quietly under the table, but it had no effect..

The emperor looked at her with expectation in his eyes and asked, "Does Mrs. Lu have any good ideas?"

Jiang Jiuniang pointed at the lotus and said loudly: "I There is no good solution, but my niece does!"

Turning to look at Lotus, encouraging: "Quick, stand up and talk!"

The surrounding courtiers instantly Dissatisfied, they were discussing business, what did the woman say?

It would be fine if it was Jiang Jiu Niang, after all, she had the strength there, and they felt inferior, but what did it mean to call a little girl to speak out?

Some people subconsciously wanted to object, but when they thought about whose family the banquet was being held today, they immediately became silent. The emperor was in the mood today, and if he annoyed people, he would definitely He is also a member who contributes to the national treasury.

Forget it, it’s better to just stick to it.

Thinking about it, no one really spoke.

The emperor had a good impression of the children of the Lu family. He knew that they were carefully taught by Jiang Jiuniang and would definitely be good, so he said, "Tell me and listen. If you speak well, you will be rewarded. It doesn’t matter if it’s not good.”

So, Lianhua stood up with Jiang Jiuniang’s encouragement.

Others thought that a little girl would be trembling with fear when faced with such an occasion, and how could she come up with any good ideas.

But Lianhua didn’t have stage fright at all. After standing up, she saluted the emperor generously and said a few nice words to make the emperor and the ministers who had previously been opposed to feel comfortable. He opened his mouth and said again what he just said to Jiang Jiuniang.
