Emperor Hongwen's complexion was ugly.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"I heard that Xirong is a barbarian before, but seeing it today is not worthy of the name."

The one who spoke was Cheng Lixue who was sitting next to Lu Yaoyao.

"Sister princess, do you know why the name is not worthy of the name?"

After she finished speaking, she still did not forget to tilt her head to look at Lu Yaoyao.

At this time, Lu Yaoyao was not in the mood and shook his head directly.

"Because barbarians, even in barbarians, are still related to people, and what about these three?"

"If I hadn't known that they were the envoys from Xirong, at first glance I would have thought they were monkeys that ran out of the forest."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Dongzhou laughed loudly.

Cheng Lixue's words made Lu Yaoyao amused.

Before, I really didn't know that Cheng Lixue's words could be so hurtful.

First of all, the three of them are not even as good as barbarians. In the end, this monkey directly classified each other as beasts.

"Little bitch, what are you talking about?"

General Duo Yong slammed the table and stood up, waiting for Cheng Lixue with fierce eyes.

"This lady speaks human language, why? Can't the three of you understand?"

Cheng Lixue was not afraid of the other party at all, and stood up in the same way.

"Your Majesty, is this the way you treat guests in Dongzhou?"

Hu Yanlan turned to look at Emperor Hongwen.

However, before Emperor Hongwen could speak, Lu Yaoyao's voice sounded.

"It's the first time this princess has seen such a brazen person, so he can't win others, so why do you have to provoke him?"

"Three, today is my Dongzhou New Year's Day. If you don't want to stay here, then I will send you back home."

Emperor Hongwen's cold voice sounded.

"Sit down bravely."

As soon as the third prince spoke, Duo Yong was very obedient, and before sitting down again, he did not forget to coldly sweep Lixue and Lu Yaoyao.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, General Duoyong is a rough man who can't speak. My prince once again apologizes to everyone on his behalf."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and stood up, drinking it down in one gulp.

Emperor Hongwen's expression softened slightly.

"The third prince of Xirong sit down too."

"Come on, let's dance and dance."

Emperor Hongwen didn't want to continue to entangle with them.

Following his order, singing and dancing came on stage, and under the harmony of music and spirits, the atmosphere of everyone in Dongzhou also slowly rose.

As usual, after singing and dancing, there is a talent show session, which is similar to the Wenhui.

But it can be not only simple writing, but also singing and dancing.

After all, the sons and daughters of the ministers are not able to enter the palace casually, and the New Year's Eve banquet is a good opportunity to show off.

If a man behaves well and is favored by the emperor, he can also have a good future, right?

And women are similar, if they get a word or two of compliments from the empress, it's a good talk to improve their grades outside, isn't it?
However, Lu Yaoyao is not interested in these.

Before this time, she had to sigh with emotion that there were too few entertainments in this ancient times.

If it is modern, you can play a lot.

Fortunately, the venue for the banquet was all burnt with charcoal fire, so it wasn't particularly cold, otherwise, it would have been a real pain.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that there are many scholars in Dongzhou, and I have been fascinated by it for a long time. I wonder if I can participate in one or two of this essay meeting today?"

Hu Yanlan suddenly stood up and said.

"Since Prime Minister Huyan wants to, let's go together."

Soon Emperor Hongwen came up with the title, and everyone wrote poems together.

Soon the first round ended, but the result was very surprising. The final winner was not from Dongzhou, but Huyanlan, and even the third prince of Xirong participated, and the poems he made were not bad.

This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Dongzhou people.

You know, in the eyes of Dongzhou, Xirong is a proper and uncivilized barbarian. Now the barbarians have suppressed all the participating Dongzhou people in the poetry competition.

Emperor Hongwen's complexion was very ugly.

"I heard that Dongzhou's literary style was at its peak before, but I never thought of it."

General Duoyong started to taunt again.

This made the people in Dongzhou, who were already somewhat ashamed, look extremely ugly.

"Don't talk big here, you can win, it's only because my princess sister didn't participate, or else your poetry is also worthy of the first place?"

"Oh? I don't know who the person you are talking about is? Why didn't you participate?"

"Didn't His Majesty the Emperor invite all talented men and women to participate?"

After all, Hu Yanlan did not forget to give Emperor Hongwen a playful look.

It's like saying, you, the emperor, can't do it, no one listens to what you say.

"My princess sister is not as shameless as you old guy."

"Your majesty is talking about talented men and women, do you count? I think half of your feet are about to sink into the ground, right?"

Cheng Lixue contemptuously looked down on Hu Yanlan, and continued, "I see you like this, a person who loves you in his decades, compared with us young people in their teens and twenties, do you think it's quite an honor?"

"Xiaoxue is right. Your level is too low, and you are not worthy of our Wanfu princess."

"In Dongzhou, Princess Wanfu is Wen Zong, and you are nothing more than a junior in her eyes."

Someone from the male guest also followed suit.

Hu Yanlan didn't care about their ridicule at all, instead she smiled and said, "Since you speak so loudly, can I let you see the demeanor of Dongzhou Wenzong?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Yaoyao.

"Wanfu, why don't you play a song too?"

Emperor Hongwen also urgently needs someone who can suppress the arrogance of Xirong and these guys.

"Your Majesty has orders, and my daughters should obey them. It's just that this level is too low. My daughters don't want others to say that we are bullying people in Dongzhou."

She was in a bad mood, these guys from Xirong were jumping up and down again and again.

Just right, let my sister vent her anger.

"Oh? Are you the Princess Wanfu they are talking about?"

Hu Yanlan looked at Lu Yaoyao with a little contempt in her eyes.

"It's the princess."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, since you, Dong Zhou, have said so much about this princess, do you know if I can compete with her?"

"Of course, since Prime Minister Huyan wants to compete, you can compete with him."

"But people come from afar and are guests, remember to save some face."

When Emperor Hongwen said the word face, he bit it very hard, and Lu Yaoyao immediately understood what he meant.

This is to save face for him, and this is simply to ask her to step on him hard.

"Your Majesty has an order, and the courtiers must obey it."

"What does Prime Minister Huyan want to compete?"

"Then poetry, how about the pair?"

Hu Yanlan asked back with a smile.

"Anything, you are a guest, you ask the questions first."

"How about the old battlefield on the edge of the way here?"

"Your Excellency, I can do whatever you want."

Lu Yaoyao waved his hand, looking at his confidence, everyone in Dongzhou smiled.
