Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.

Chapter 257 The Emperor’s Tea Party

Zhou Xiaocheng led hundreds of civil and military officials to welcome envoys from various countries.

The envoys from the Northern Wei Dynasty were led by the eldest prince Yuanrong, the eldest princess Yuanying and their consort Murong Fenghuang.

Yuan Rong came with him in a luxurious carriage. In the carriage was a woman, dressed in Central Plains clothing, covering her veil and keeping silent.

The eldest princess Yuanying and the consort Murong Fenghuang are both riding horses. Many people on the streets of the capital know Murong Fenghuang. The people with complicated moods can't help but curse Murong Fenghuang when they look at Murong Fenghuang on the horse: "Dog thief!"

Emperor Murong Feng was not angry either. He waved his riding whip and pointed at the people and cursed: "I am now the consort of Wei State. If any of you dare to disrespect me, I will have your Majesty the Emperor kill you."

"The dog thief is still murderous!"

He scolded and scolded, always in a low voice and cherishing his life. This man was a murderous demon who never blinked an eye.

There was another group of people behind them, hanging the national flag of Japan. They were the Crown Prince Kameyama Na and the Prince Kameyama Komatsu of Japan. The two brothers are not as good-looking as Murong Fenghuang, but they are definitely considered handsome men in the Tang Dynasty. Their beauty is not as aggressive as Murong Fenghuang, but extremely delicate. Yes, handsome men, like women!

The last team is the royal carriage, a majestic bronze carriage, majestic royal guard of honor, and tall and solemn guards.

"See, that's His Majesty the Emperor of Song."

"Have you heard about Sihai Pavilion? It used to belong to Lord Song."

"Wanghai Pavilion also belongs to him."

"Very kind. The Song Dynasty is now the richest. I heard that their grain seeds are all given by the Lord of Yongning County."

"Yes, our county boss is very powerful."

"What's the use of being awesome? I kidnapped His Highness the Crown Prince and went to Lingnan to open up wasteland."

Envoys from the three countries arrived at the palace, and Zhou Xiaocheng welcomed them into the hall. The banquet had been set, and the maids and eunuchs were busy serving tea, food and wine.

Zhou Xiaocheng sat at the top with a smile on his face.

The guests and hosts exchanged pleasantries and took their seats.

Because there were female relatives among the guests here today, Zhou Xiaocheng invited the Empress, Vice Empress Zhuge, Imperial Concubine Chen Yuanyuan, Concubine Shu Zhang Yanyan, Shunrong Li Tiantian, Concubine Shen Yangyang, and the family members of the ministers to attend the banquet.

For the great cause of His Majesty the Emperor, the Queen and other empresses are all smiling.

As soon as he sat down, Zhou Xiaocheng met Murong Fenghuang's pair of wickedly beautiful eyes.

He was not afraid either. He was originally a military commander and was not afraid of fights. Besides, Murong Fenghuang was his defeated general and he was also a man's favorite. Bah!
Emperor Murong Feng had already walked around the entire palace twice, and saw that the entire palace was still in tatters, and the so-called harem at the back was just a few rows of bungalows.

Next to Yuanrong knelt down, the veiled woman pouring him wine.

He groaned and screamed twice, and finally pointed his finger at her mouth and said, "Your nails are too sharp, what if you prick my baby? Use this!"

The woman lowered her head
Many courtiers and family members in the hall had their brows furrowed into knots. This Northern Wei Dynasty really acted without regard for the general order.

Zhou Xiaocheng did not expect Yuan Rong to be so dissolute, which was quite embarrassing, but the visitor was a guest, and the barbarian tribe was so vulgar and barbaric. The empress and the four new concubines couldn't stand it. They were all from the same clan. How could they have ever seen such vulgar behavior, worse than that of a brothel maid, even brought to a royal state banquet?

Especially since there are so many female relatives here, doing this is clearly an insult to the female relatives of the Tang Dynasty.

The food and wine were delicious, and Zhou Xiaocheng gave a welcome speech, especially Liu Yu, the leader of Song Dynasty, who praised and welcomed them greatly.

He welcomed Liu Yu, then welcomed Yuanrong and Yuanying, welcomed Kameyama Nai and Kameyama Komatsu, and said many kind words.

After a round of welcome, he also raised his glass and nodded to Murong Fenghuang.

Yuan Ying was unhappy when he saw that his consort was being looked down upon, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Lord Tang, I think your country in the Central Plains is nothing more than this. The palace is in tatters and there is not even a decent palace. The so-called harem is just a row of cowsheds. The same bungalow is really shabby, no wonder my prince-in-law doesn’t like it.”

The queen had to stand up and confront her.

"Princess Yuanying doesn't know something. Our Majesty is different from His Majesty Wei. Our Majesty is kind-hearted. In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, we couldn't bear to waste people and money. It doesn't matter whether we live well or not. As long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, that is the greatest satisfaction."

"Oh, your Majesty is really kind-hearted. Your beautiful wife lives in a stable. Is it for the sake of the people of the world?"

Princess Yuanying said unceremoniously, "But along the way we saw people in the Tang Dynasty dying of freezing and starvation on the roadside. They dragged their families and begged me, the border soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, to flee to our country, the Wei Dynasty!"

The Empress looked at Yuanying and said unceremoniously: "It's a severe cold in the world. Which country has not frozen to death? What your Highness the Princess saw was only a few scenes of the extremely cold places in the north. You should know that even a desolate place like Lingnan has been frozen to death by my prince." Transform it into a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River!"

When she finished speaking, Liu Yu, the leader of the Song Dynasty, was the first to express his approval: "The wild land in Lingnan has been developed into a prosperous land. To be honest, the rapid development of the Song Dynasty and the prosperity of the country and the people are all due to the eldest prince Zhou and his family." With the help of the head of Yongning County, the crop yield was originally 1 stone per mu, but now it is as low as 10 stones.”

Yuan Ying was a little dissatisfied: "Are the Lord Song and the eldest prince Zhou friends?"

"Yes!"

"Just because they are friends, Lord Song will lie on behalf of the Tang Dynasty?"

Liu Yu looked at Yuanying and said calmly: "Is Princess Yuanying doubting the national power of the Song Dynasty?"

When Yuan Rong heard that this was wrong, could it be that the Song Dynasty wanted to attack Wei on behalf of the Tang Dynasty?

He suddenly said "Ah", kicked the busy woman out, and cursed: "You cheap maid."

The woman was slapped in the face by him, and the veil on her face fell off. Yuan Rong looked at the two words tattooed on her cheek, the word "ugly" on the right and the word "slave" on the left. His disgusted eyes flashed with lust. The fierce light of blood.

Then put on the veil calmly.

The empress frowned, and Vice Empress Zhuge pinched her throat desperately. The imperial concubine Chen Yuanyuan couldn't hold it back and ran out of the hall, vomiting outside to the point of darkness.

The queen said lightly: "Take it to the harem, it's useless."

Chen Yuanyuan's mouth was gagged and she was taken directly to the harem.

Suddenly someone in the main hall recognized the woman: "Isn't that Concubine Xiang? How did she become the slave of the eldest prince of Wei?"

Not only did he become a slave, he also got a tattoo on his face: Ugly slave!
