Ji Xun took the note handed over by the chamberlain's father-in-law, opened it, looked at it, and then closed it again, with a smile of unknown meaning appearing on his face.
While holding the note, he clapped his palms rhythmically and ordered the eunuch. "There is no need to report this matter to the father. I will handle it properly."
"Yes, I understand." The chamberlain's father-in-law nodded respectfully and retreated.
After the father-in-law left, Lin Yi asked Ji Xun, "Your Highness, who are the envoys from Dali?" The matters in the court were left to Wang Chang and Niu Zhi, and Ji Xun took Lin Yi by his side to help handle important matters.
"The third prince Dongfang Hong, the third princess Dongfang Yan and the fourth princess Dongfang Qi." Ji Xun answered as he walked to the palace gate. This was the name written on the greeting card.
"Two princesses are here? It seems that their original intention is to come and get married."
"Yes, but they should have given up this idea at this moment." Ji Xun said calmly.
Ji Xun was not unfamiliar with Dali Prince Dongfang Peng. When he was the general of the Red Flame Camp, he had fought against Dongfang Peng many times. That guy was not only ambitious but also resourceful, so he was not an easy person to deal with.
It is true that although Dongfang Peng is far away in the Dali Palace, he knows the internal affairs of the Great Zhou Kingdom very well.
He repeatedly encouraged Emperor Jiade to take advantage of the civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty to capture the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Emperor Jiade hesitantly refused.
Dongfang Peng thought about it and proposed marriage with Da Zhou.
Marry two princesses first, and then if one of them dies in the Great Zhou Kingdom for no reason, hey, won’t there be any excuse?
Dongfang Peng had a good idea, but unfortunately he underestimated the power of the Night King.
He originally thought that the Great Zhou Dynasty would be split into North and South countries, but he tried to find a way to dissolve it.
I never thought that the Night King would easily conquer Jinzhou and completely disrupt Dongfang Peng's plan!
Of course, Dongfang Peng has not received the news yet. He is still happily waiting for the news of the marriage to come back from the Dali Palace.
However, his good intentions were clearly understood by Ji Xun. Seeing Ji Xun thinking about it with the post, Lin Yi took the initiative to speak.
"Your Highness, a prince and two princesses have arrived. If you are too indifferent, it may affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. How about not letting your subordinates go to entertain them and place them in the royal villa?'
"No need, let them wait for a few days before talking." Ji Xun replied calmly.
"Leave it to dry? Doesn't this seem disrespectful?" Ji Yi looked puzzled.
"They have no respect for my father or me, and we have no right to respect them." Ji Xun said and handed the note to Lin Yi, "Just take a look."
Ji Yi took the note and looked at it, his face darkened, "This third prince is really real. Did he do this on purpose?" Who do you think he handed the note to? The Empress Dowager, the new emperor!
There was no way that Dongfang Hong and his party had not received the news that such a major event had happened in the capital. He knew that Emperor Qi Heng had returned to the palace, and that the capital was now in the hands of the Night King, yet he deliberately wrote the visit note like this. It was definitely
Deliberately provocative.
Even so, it would be polite to leave them alone, and it would be reasonable to drive them out of the capital.
The two of them left the palace while talking and took a carriage back to the Night King's Mansion.
On the way, Ji Xun looked out of the car window and saw that the street was full of joy, and all the passers-by had relaxed expressions and smiles on their faces, brimming with joy and joy.
Ji Xun was quite relieved to see him.
After walking a little further, an inn appeared. Outside the inn was a conspicuous national flag, the national flag of Dali.
"Don't Dongfang Hong and his entourage fall into that inn?" Ji Xun said.
"It must be." Lin Yi lifted the car curtain and took a few glances, "What does the third prince mean? He even planted the national flag on purpose, for fear that others would not know that they were staying in an inn? But what if they hadn't handed a sticker to the palace?
We didn’t even know about their visit.”
"He is deliberately stirring up trouble. He wants to label us as being disrespectful and not treating us well." Ji Xunyun smiled lightly and said to Lin Yi: "Spend some money and find a few more inns.
They also planted the Dali flag at the door."
Didn’t Dongfang Hong want to tell everyone that the Dali envoy was staying here? In that case, let other inns also plant the Dali flag.
In this way, you can pretend to be deaf and dumb, and you will pretend that you don't know that Dali's envoy has arrived in the capital of Zhou Dynasty.
When Lin Yi heard this, he thought this was a great move and immediately asked the driver to stop.
"My subordinates will do it right away so that they will have no excuse to blackmail us.'
So not long after, most of the inns in the capital had their national flags planted outside.
There are also rumors circulating that someone pretends to be an envoy from Dali and delivers a message to the palace to meet Xia Luoluo, the criminal who murdered Emperor Qi Heng. If he meets someone claiming to be an envoy from Dali again, it will definitely be Xia Luoluo.
The emperor ordered his accomplices to be killed without mercy.
After hearing these two things, Dongfang Hong was so angry that he almost vomited blood and smashed the table.
"This damn Night King is so insidious and cunning."
Dongfang Yan said hurriedly: "Brother, why don't we go back? It's so cold in the capital city of Zhou Dynasty. I don't want to marry here." Dongfang Hongtie's face was livid.
"Go back? You have the shame to go back, but I have no shame!"
"This prince represents the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince. If he goes back in such a dejected manner, it will be a disgrace to the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince."
"Besides, you haven't even met the Emperor of Zhou, so you shouldn't be treated as a laughing stock by other princes?"
The overt and covert struggles in the royal family are the same no matter which country. On the surface, the Dali Kingdom is a harmonious country, but secretly it is probably even worse than the Great Zhou Kingdom.
"Then what should we do? Do we just have to wait here?" Dongfang Yan said impatiently, "My hands are so cold that I have sores on them. I have suffered a lot."
"Wait a little longer and see what happens." Dongfang Hong narrowed his eyes as he spoke, with a smile on his face, "There are so many things happening in the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but there is something good to see. Let's not be patient.
Take it easy and watch the excitement before making any plans."
Since Dongfang Hong was interested in watching the excitement, he didn't send any more notices to the palace. He even took down the national flag planted at the door of the inn and waited patiently to see the excitement.
After washing up that night, Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu went to bed to rest.
Ji Xun put three pillows on his wife's back and held Shen Yuyu in his arms, gently combing her long hair.
"Yu Yu thinks, how should Charlotte deal with it appropriately?"
He and Emperor Qi Heng had discussed this question in the palace for a long time, but they could not get a proper answer, so Ji Xun asked Shen Yuyu at this moment.
Not to mention anything else, Xia Luoluo is the princess of Daqi, and most of the things she has committed are private and unspeakable.
For example, the little milk baby who has been the emperor for several months is not of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty. This kind of thing can never be publicized to the outside world.
Therefore, it was impossible to tell the truth to Emperor Jing Yuan. In this case, Xia Luoluo's crime would be much lighter, which was really difficult to deal with.
