Chapter 323: The spirit of timelessness
Chapter 323 The spirit of ignorance of current affairs
Seeing the rising atmosphere, Junli stood up, and everyone present also stood up.
Picking up a glass of wine, he said to everyone, "All the envoys have come from afar to celebrate the birthday of the emperor, and the emperor is here to offer you a glass." As he spoke, he drank the wine in the glass. All the envoys also immediately drank the wine in the cup.
After drinking a glass of wine, the attendant at the side filled another glass for Junli.
This time, Junli did not speak to the envoys or the ministers, but to the more than 200 human beings selected in the imperial and military examinations, "You are all talents from the Beirong Kingdom. The prosperity of the country depends on the joint efforts of all of you present, and I would like to offer you a toast here, and hope that you can work together in the future to contribute to the Beirong Kingdom."
Everyone stood in awe and drank the wine in their cups with Junli.
Put down the wine glass, Junli waved his hand gently, "Sit down, everyone, you don't have to be restrained, you can do whatever you want."
Hearing the words, everyone sat down.
Soon, the meals were brought up by groups of attendants and placed in front of everyone one by one.
Jun Li looked up and looked around, seeing that no one moved their chopsticks, he knew that she was asked to move their chopsticks first. Immediately, he picked up the silver chopsticks, put a piece of fish meat into his mouth, and chewed lightly.
Seeing this, everyone present moved their chopsticks.
Soon, singing and dancing came up. It was a group of beautiful teenagers dressed in light gauze, standing in the middle of the banquet venue and dancing.
The people of the Nvzun Kingdom were admiring when they saw this. Seeing this, the envoys of the Dongyue Kingdom and the West Qin Kingdom, who are male-respected kingdoms, turned their heads away one after another.
At this moment, the Eighth Prince of Nanyan yelled, "Okay!" and applauded on the spot.
The envoys of Xiqin and Dongyue all lowered their heads to drink and did not watch the performance.
Seeing this, the corners of Junli's lips curled slightly, and he gave a few words to Eunuch Yu who was beside him. Eunuch Yu nodded and retreated.
Soon, the sound of the music suddenly changed, and the dancing teenagers in the arena also suddenly retreated.
In an instant, a group of soft and beautiful women in wide-sleeved fairy skirts entered the arena and began to dance.
It can be seen from their slender figures that these women are not women who respect the country.
The scene was instantly reversed. The envoys of the East Yue Kingdom and the West Qin Kingdom who had lowered their heads raised their heads one after another, admiring the singing and dancing in the field. But the female respected countrymen present were all dumbfounded, and some even lowered their heads directly.
Among them, the Eighth Emperor of Nanyan is the most important.
"No jumping!" The eighth princess stood up, patted the table and said.
The audience was silent for a moment, everyone looked at the Eighth Emperor, wondering if she was here to make trouble...
The envoys of the Nanyan Kingdom on the side couldn't help being shocked when they saw this, they quickly stood up, and said to Junli, "Don't blame your majesty, the eighth princess is drunk, talking nonsense, regardless of the situation. Please also Your Majesty, don't care about it."
As soon as the words were finished, the eighth princess yelled loudly, "I'm not drunk! Call these people down, I want to see beautiful men dance!"
Hearing this, everyone present was astonished.
It is said that the eighth princess of Nanyan Kingdom is a complete idiot. From today's perspective, it is true.
Of all the people present, who didn't know that the envoy of Nanyan Kingdom just now was trying to excuse the Eighth Emperor's daughter. Fortunately, she not only didn't appreciate it, but even yelled loudly to let everyone know.
The envoy obviously didn't expect the Eighth Emperor's daughter to dare to yell like this, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He tugged on the sleeve of the eighth princess, and the envoy said in a low voice, "Your Highness, this is Beirong Kingdom, not Nanyan Kingdom."
The intention of these words was to remind the Eighth Emperor to pay attention to the occasion, but he didn't want the Eighth Emperor to be a complete idiot, and he didn't understand the meaning of the envoy's words at all.
Vigorously waving her sleeves and shaking off the envoy's hand, the eighth princess said angrily regardless of the occasion, "Of course I know this is the Beirong Kingdom, if you want to tell me! Anyway, I want to watch beautiful men dance. Your Majesty, hurry up!" Let them all go down, let those beautiful men come up."
Hearing this, all the people present despised the eighth princess in their hearts, but they remained calm on the face.
It's just that Qin Muyuan, the eldest prince of the West Qin Kingdom, couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up and said to Junli, "Your Majesty, this prince thinks this song and dance is very good, so don't change it."
As soon as the words were finished, the Eighth Emperor's daughter dissatisfied her voice, "No, I have to change! What's so interesting about a group of women dancing!"
Qin Muyuan snorted coldly, "What's so interesting about a group of men dancing!"
At the moment, the two had an argument about which dance is better, a man or a woman.
Huang Zhanwu sat beside Junli, watching the two arguing like watching a good show, and turned to Junli and whispered, "Hey, did you do it on purpose?" He changed the song and dance on purpose.
Jun Li smiled but said nothing, picked up a glass of wine, raised it towards Huang Zhanwu, and immediately drank it down.
Huang Zhanwu also picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was in silence.
"Beautiful men dance beautifully! Of course, for someone like you, no one will watch after dancing." The eighth princess spoke, and Qin Muyuan's face turned livid in anger.
When Huang Zhanwu heard this, he couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering.
"Hmph, this prince is a majestic prince of a country, how can he compare with those lowly people! Let me dance? What a joke!" Qin Muyuan snorted coldly, looking at the eighth princess with cold eyes.
The reason why the eighth princess is called a straw bag is because she has the spirit of not being afraid of death and ignorant of current affairs. What's even more commendable is that in the imperial palace full of intrigues, she can still maintain a simple mind, and she hasn't been killed to this day.
So putting a cold knife on the straw bag has no effect at all.
"I'm laughing at you! With your body, you still dance? No one wants to warm someone else's bed!" The eighth princess was not to be outdone.
"You—" Qin Muyuan's face was very ugly, and his fists were creaking. But fortunately, his mind is still clear, he knows what the occasion is, and he doesn't dare to be presumptuous.
Although he was concerned about the occasion, a certain person didn't care about the occasion, so he left his seat and pushed out the women who were standing still in a daze one by one.
"I want a beautiful boy!" The eighth princess yelled, her eyes fixed on looking downstairs.
Jun Li glanced at Eunuch Yu, Eunuch Yu understood, nodded slightly, and retreated.
Soon, under the anxious eyes of the eighth princess, the men who had just retreated came up again.
Eighth Emperor's eyes lit up instantly, and her eyes were fixed on the graceful bodies of the men.
The music sounded, and a group of men began to dance.
Just after dancing for less than a cup of tea, I heard footsteps coming from below the viewing tower. Then the envoy of Dongyue Kingdom who had just left appeared in front of everyone.
Behind the envoy was Nangong Lingyan, who was dressed in black clothes and had a slightly stiff face.
