Fan Yugan’s despicable appearance makes one want to hit him, yet unable to, which almost made the Minister of Revenue of the Yan Kingdom, who is of upright character, faint from anger.
It’s said that when a scholar meets a soldier, reasoning becomes futile. This time, coming to Zhou... the Minister of Revenue of the Yan Kingdom truly experienced that when a scholar meets a shameless yet talented soldier, reasoning indeed becomes futile.
Bai Qingyan also understood after reading the records of the negotiations between the two countries sent by the eunuch from Honglu Temple, why Liu Rushi needed Fan Yugan. Besides sympathizing with Fan Yugan himself, it was probably because Fan Yugan, compared to scholars who pride themselves as gentlemen, has a thicker skin. This is not intended to belittle Fan Yugan, but during the haggling between the two countries, someone like Fan Yugan, who can set aside dignity and pride, can indeed make the opponent so angry they lose their composure.
At today’s flower banquet, Commandant Lu did not come... he and Lu Fenglang and Fan Yugan, along with a group of court officials negotiating with the Yan Kingdom, were still at Honglu Temple, discussing the nation’s wager with several important envoys of the Yan Kingdom.
Therefore, in the Yan Kingdom’s envoy group, apart from Xiao Rongyan, only two or three insignificant people came.
Lu Fenglang was specifically named by Liu Rushi, but yesterday he didn’t speak from beginning to end, though he did record a lot. Bai Qingyan was hoping that today Lu Fenglang could bring her some surprises.
The singing and dancing have stopped. Mrs. Wang, the fourth wife, with Buddha beads wrapped around her hand, was raising a teacup to drink tea when Mrs. Wang Liu, sitting diagonally behind her, lightly tugged on her sleeve, indicating that Mrs. Wang should take this opportunity to go to Bai Qingyan and discuss the marriage between King Zhongguo Bai Qingjue and her daughter, to strive for a bestowed marriage, which would ease her mind.
Mrs. Wang, the fourth wife, glanced at the platform, where Wei Zhong was whispering something in Bai Qingyan’s ear, and felt very nervous. She didn’t actually want her niece from her maternal family to marry her own Ah Jue, but... if she didn’t agree to Mrs. Wang Liu, she feared her mother would have a hard time in the hands of this black-hearted couple.
Bai Qingyan opened the letter from Bai Qingqi.
In the letter, Bai Qingqi mentioned that the Tianfeng Kingdom wanted to send envoys to make peace with Zhou.
She couldn’t quite understand what Tianfeng Kingdom’s intentions were.
To prevent any unexpected events, Bai Qingqi sent Cheng Yuanzhi to the passage between Tianfeng Kingdom and Xiliang to seal it, but they did not intend to attack Tianfeng Kingdom. So what was Tianfeng Kingdom planning by wanting to send envoys at this time?
Bai Qingyan put down the letter and whispered instructions to Wei Zhong to invite Commandant Lu, Minister Shen, and Minister Dong to her study for a discussion after the flower banquet.
Just as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, she heard the sound of porcelain breaking in the hall. Looking in that direction, she saw Nanny Guan kneeling beside her fourth aunt, using a handkerchief to wipe her clothes.
Mrs. Wang Liu, who originally looked at Mrs. Wang, the fourth wife, as if her gaze was venomous, seemed to retract her gaze hastily upon noticing Bai Qingyan looking their way, feigning concern and saying: "How could you be so careless."
Nanny Guan’s eyes seemed to want to devour the black-hearted lady alive, but considering her own madam, she feared that provoking them now would lead to this couple secretly tormenting her madam later. So, she suppressed her anger.
