It turned out that Dongfang Ning thought that Yan Wuzhan and herself were not good at entertaining guests, so she couldn't count on Yan Wuzhan's brothers, who were all ruffians. Thus, she came up with this idea and told this woman to go chat while she and Yan Wuzhan sat at the side watching.
"Imperial Concubine Liu, Imperial Advisor said that you will decide the matter later, so I asked them for the purpose of their visit."
"Me?"
Everyone was even more uneasy. Although they lived in the palace, they had never seen anything of the world. Now, they were sent to receive foreign envoys. Just thinking about it made them scared.
"Imperial Advisor said that women are no worse than men when it comes to proper business. He told everyone to go ahead and do it without fear of blame even if they did something wrong."
The journey was not short at all. The eunuch tried his best to explain to everyone what Dongfang Ning had told him. He was afraid that the less he said, the more trouble he would be in.
"Imperial Concubine Liu, you go ahead, Left Concubine Concubine will follow …" "You …"
As they approached the Imperial Garden, the seven of them lined up according to their status. They made up their minds to follow along when Imperial Concubine Liu said anything, so they wouldn't fall into chaos.
"If only the empress was here! I'm a little afraid of Liang Shuyi!"
Now that we are Battle King's seniors, he has something on his mind, so we have to do our best to help him speak up. Using Imperial Advisor's words, we have to use our jealous means, and since Sea Nation's purpose is good, we will properly entertain them.
"…"
There were already more than ten tables in the imperial garden, surrounded by a semicircle. Although it was called a palace feast, it was actually more like a family feast. The scene was not big, but the atmosphere was very serious, the reason being that Yan Wuzhan's cold face never relaxed.
There was only Yan Wuzhan, the Lord of this place, and the rest were all here as emissaries. Was this called a banquet guest?
It was natural for one to drink and drink alone, but the others didn't know what to do. They raised their heads and looked at Yan Wuzhan countless times, but Yan Wuzhan didn't say a word nor had any intention of responding to them. They just didn't know what to do.
The Sea Nation envoy did not dare to speak up in front of Yan Wuzhan, who was sitting like this for the time it took to make a cup of tea. The melon fruits on the table were very rich, but since the owner did not eat it, no one else dared to move.
"That... "Please wait a moment, Imperial Concubine Liu is already on her way. She'll be here soon, she'll be here soon …"
The court lady on Yan Wuzhan's side could not bear to watch any longer. She bravely said something as she risked being burned by Yan Wuzhan's anger. After she finished speaking, she peeked at Yan Wuzhan from the corner of her eyes, wanting to know what he meant.
Yan Wuzhan remained expressionless, as if he didn't hear what others said.
Speaking of which, there were a few reasons why it was difficult for him not to doubt these Sea Nation people coming to visit at this time.
Firstly, Qin Zixuan had sent people to Shanyang City for reinforcements. Along the way, they did not encounter any Sea Nation envoys.
Second, the Sea Nation Envoys were like suddenly appearing in the capital of the Shan Nation, there was no news of them at all. Yan Wuhen had also told him, it had absolutely nothing to do with Sea Nation, so where did these people come from?
Maybe the Sea Nation envoys thought that they came too suddenly, so they didn't say anything and waited for him to speak first. When they greeted him, Yan Wuzhan only nodded to show that he understood, how were they supposed to play the game and sing this attitude?
Seeing that Yan Wuzhan did not express any dissatisfaction, the court lady heaved a sigh of relief. She quietly stood to the side and stopped talking. This was not a palace banquet, it was more like a Hongmen feast.
Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about it for long. With Imperial Concubine Liu leading the way, they reached the scene.
"Imperial Concubine Liu has arrived ~"
"Imperial Concubine Li has arrived ~"
"Bai …"
The eunuch announced a few names consecutively, and when the Sea Nation envoys heard him, why were they all concubines?
The highest rank of concubine was only that of a consort, so what did they come here for?
He had come here to discuss the affairs of the country, what right did it make to let some girls come here?
What is Yan Wuzhan doing?
Not waiting for them to have enough doubts, the young eunuch announced the position of imperial concubines to the harem women and explained to them:
"My esteemed guests have come at a unfortunate time, the Emperor of Shan Nation has yet to return, the affairs of the palace have been handled by Imperial Concubine Liu, if any of you have any matters you wish to discuss with her in detail, this servant will take his leave first!"
The air here was very cold. It was a cold day and Yan Wuzhan had people come to the imperial garden for dinner. Although it was surrounded by brazier, it was still very cold.
No wonder the Imperial Advisor didn't come, it must be because Battle King was afraid that she wouldn't allow it …
"Battle King, for you to have a group of harem women come to receive us, it's clear that they do not put my Sea Nation in their eyes!"
Among the envoys, there was finally someone who couldn't take it anymore. It was you who wanted to see us, came and didn't say a word, but now, you're asking a group of women with no status to accompany you?
Was there any need to be careful with Yan Wuzhan since he had humiliated him to such an extent?
Yan Wuzhan raised his head and looked at the man in green clothes, who was about 40 years old. He had a white face and a small mustache.
Without waiting for Yan Wuzhan's response, Imperial Concubine Liu, who had accepted the mission, spoke. This person's tone was not kind, so she didn't mind speaking carelessly. Imperial Advisor said this before, it's not their fault that he said something wrong, right?
"Yo, this envoy doesn't know his name, how can an ordinary person meet Battle King from our family? The emperor isn't here, I'm the biggest senior in the palace. Battle King treated you so courteously in exchange for your rudeness. Everyone, are you here to cause trouble?"
As soon as she finished speaking, another concubine immediately echoed:
"Sister is right. Although we are women, we are Battle King's elders. Could it be that your mother is not a woman?"
"Normally, we only see Your Majesty. Could it be that Your Excellency's status is higher than the emperor of your country?"
"…"
The group of women had already made an agreement. Each of them spoke a sentence, and this entire place became chaotic in an instant. The Sea Nation envoys were all dumbfounded, and were unable to reply at all. Too terrifying!
The men could only listen, and they didn't dare to speak a single word.
"Cough!"
Yan Wuzhan was secretly happy. Ning'er's method was really effective. She just said that these people did not come for a good purpose and there was no need to treat them with respect. That's why he just sat there and let these women handle everything.
Who knew that when they started talking, they didn't even play around. It was even noisier than the market, so he had no choice but to cough lightly to show that it was enough.
He didn't ask Dongfang Ning why she knew that they were here for no good reason. In any case, he believed what she said without a doubt.
There was a short silence as he coughed, then Imperial Concubine Liu thought for a moment before starting to interrogate him.
"Everyone, come far. Since the emperor is not here, this concubine will personally welcome you. If you still feel that you cannot talk with this woman, then please leave. We, Battle King, are too busy to sit with you."
