Qiu Zimo had just sat down when someone knocked on the door. He thought it was Lan Duoduo who turned back to disturb him on purpose, but who knew that it was his subordinate Zhuo Ran who opened the door.
"What's the matter?" Qiu Zimo looked disappointed and his tone was full of impatience.
"General, there is someone coming from the palace, and the general is required to enter the palace immediately to face the saint!" Zhuo Ran's voice suddenly sounded outside the room.
Aoshuang raised her head and looked at the door. Looking at her clothes, she knew she was Qiu Zimo's personal guard.
Qiu Zimo frowned, nodded sullenly, then turned around and walked to Aoshuang: "It seems that I won't be able to listen to you playing the piano today. The palace has called me urgently and I have to leave first!" There are still six days left.
It is no wonder that the emperor summoned the envoys meeting.
When Aoshuang heard what he said, she straightened up and smiled softly: "It doesn't matter, I just want to practice today, and I will listen to the new style of music for you next time."
Qiu Zimo laughed warmly and was a little pleased: "Then I'll wait and see!" However, he paused and his voice became lower: "There are a lot of trivial matters recently, so it may take a while to arrive."
"Okay!" Aoshuang nodded and smiled. Even though she was a little disappointed, her face was still calm. No matter what the situation, she always had an indifferent attitude. Except when she saw him, she would smile more excitedly.
Qiu Zimo sighed, swallowed what he wanted to say, smiled at her, and then turned and left.
Qiu Zimo entered the palace grandly, and Emperor Xiao was waiting for the person he wanted to summon in Jinyuan Palace.
Sitting on the high seat, Emperor Xiao had a serious look on his face, with anxiety on his brows. It seemed that he was a little impatient to wait.
There were two rows of people standing in the hall, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yi stood at the front, Du Zirui stood beside Xiao Feng, and other important ministers stood behind them, all waiting for the people on the high seats to give orders.
"Yi'er, why didn't Zimo come with you today!" As soon as Xiao Huang finished speaking, the eunuch outside the door shouted: "General Qiu is here!"
In the main hall, some ministers who had been waiting impatiently finally breathed a sigh of relief. If they didn't come, their legs would be broken.
"I will see you at last, Your Majesty!" Qiu Zimo half-knelt down and bowed in salute.
"No courtesy!" Qiu Zimo immediately stood next to Xiao Yi and came face to face with Du Zirui.
Emperor Xiao glanced at the main hall. There was silence in the main hall. Everyone knew that today's summons was related to the envoy conference, but they didn't know what important responsibility would fall on them.
"I am summoning you today. I believe you all know that it is for the envoy conference in six days. This envoy conference is organized by the Crown Prince and Prince Yi. I am very much looking forward to it. The ambassadors from various countries will arrive in our country tomorrow, so I have some arrangements." Xiao
The emperor raised his eyebrows and smiled. Everyone listened, but no one dared to speak except looking at each other. Because whoever spoke up would be thought by other ministers to want to take credit, so they could only wait for Emperor Xiao to assign important tasks to them.
"Yi'er, have you arranged the various venues for the ambassador's conference?" The layout of the venue is very important. It represents the appearance of a country. In every previous ambassador's conference, Emperor Xiao would focus on the venue layout.
"Don't worry, Father, everything is in order!" This year's venue arrangements are absolutely surprising, especially the martial arts competition and the women's talent show. He spent a lot of thought, manpower and material resources.
"Well, Feng'er, everything that should be provided for the envoy conference is fine!" Especially when it comes to food, he is very careful. If the envoy from any country is a prince, there will be trouble.
"It's okay to go back to my father!" How could he have a problem with such an important conference!
"Well, that's good!" Xiao Huang nodded with confidence.
Emperor Xiao ordered Prime Minister Gu to cooperate with the Ministry of Etiquette in arranging the guests, to free up the Ruyi Palace outside the palace to accommodate the envoys from various countries, and to cooperate with the Ministry of War to ensure the safety of the envoys' residence. However, Prime Minister Mu was only responsible for arranging the maids and eunuchs to serve the envoys from various countries.
The emperor's words had come down, and he had no choice but to take on such an "important task". He felt faintly unhappy. This kind of task could be completed by his father-in-law, but he was asked to take over it as a minister.
"I obey the order." Prime Minister Mu endured his dissatisfaction and stepped aside after receiving the order.
The ministers in the main hall were all thinking, and they raised their ears without daring to breathe, waiting for the next assigned task to be theirs. Xiao Huangying's angry features were filled with majestic eyes, shining with a calculating light, and there was a slight smile on the corners of his lips.
With a slight smile, it seemed that the next person to be called must have something good planned for him.
"General Qiu, come forward and obey the order!" As soon as the words fell, the hall was surprisingly quiet. More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Qiu Zimo, some were surprised, disdainful, angry and happy. In addition to Xiao Yi, other people also looked at the happy eyes.
There will be no one else.
Qiu Zimo stepped forward and stood in the middle of the hall, his heart a little nervous. Xiao Huang always arranged for Brother Yi to cooperate. What tasks would he arrange for him to complete alone this time?
"Tomorrow, Princess Luona of Yunshang Kingdom will come with her eldest brother, His Majesty King An, as the envoys for this meeting. They will arrive at Liuye Pavilion outside the city at about 3 o'clock. Zimo will be responsible for welcoming her!" After Xiao Huang finished speaking, he nodded with a smile.
"The general obeys the decree!" A discerning person will know that Emperor Xiao's arrangement has ulterior motives. This Yunshang Kingdom is a small country like Lanling Kingdom. He brought his princess to the envoy conference without making it clear that he had no intention of harming Xiao Zhanguo.
Regarding the marriage, Emperor Xiao was too fond of Xiaoyun Shangguo! Qiu Zimo was just a general, so he might not be willing to do so!
"Yi'er, you should also be well prepared to welcome your father-in-law!" Xiao Huang said with a smile, his majestic face became much kinder, giving people a sense of intimacy.
Xiao Yi had a smile on his face, "Yes, Father!" She will be very happy when she sees him tomorrow! He has been preparing this surprise for a long time.
Du Zirui, who was standing behind, suddenly darkened his handsome face. He remembered that more than three years ago, he handed Lan Duoduo into the hands of Lan Huang. He said that he would definitely repay him for this kindness in the future, but now he has become
Xiao Yi's father-in-law. Well, what can he expect from him?
Life is really like a play, but the role is not determined by him, nor is the drama arranged by him.
Emperor Xiao's dark eyes swept across the hall brightly, and after a while he said, "Everyone, please retreat! Zi Rui stays."
"Your Majesty, please retire." The ministers spoke in unison, bent down and slowly retreated. Xiao Yi and Xiao Feng glanced at Du Zirui before walking out of the hall and returning to their respective homes.
In the main hall, only Du Zirui looked up at Emperor Xiao on the high seat, waiting for him to speak. Emperor Xiao glanced at Du Zirui. The Emperor's Order created by him and his father had always been a good helper to support him. The huge court hall
The only one he can trust, including his two princes, are more or less selfish.
Du Zirui believed that Emperor Xiao loved him just because he was the young master of the Emperor's order, and ultimately it was because of his father that he was connected to the world. Maybe Emperor Xiao and his father were not friendly, but also because of their respective identities. But in fact, Emperor Xiao
