Crazy Concubine is very sturdy

Chapter 378 The Lie King’s Audience (1)
Leng Xia stood on the high platform, wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown, she was full of majesty, and her phoenix eyes were piercing with Chinese light, looking down at the prostrate and prostrating courtiers below.

At this moment, the king is in the world!

The following procedure was not finished yet, the eunuch in charge of rites read out the imperial edict, the grand scholar Qi Dai took out the imperial edict, handed it over to the minister of the Ministry of Rites to hold it down the steps, handed it over to the minister of the Ministry of Rites and put it in the cloud tray, and then blew the whip, and His Majesty returned it to the palace.

Afterwards, civil and military officials followed the edict out of Chengtianmen, put the edict in the Dragon Pavilion, and carried it to the tower of Chengtianmen for promulgation.

It is not true until these are over, and the enthronement ceremony is over.

Leng Xia closed her eyes and let the crowd fiddle for a while, if she was asked to ride in a chariot, she would sit in a chariot, if she was asked to walk, she would walk, let the official sing, go here, go there, cooperate honestly, she will not sell her anyway, just let her go Let them toss as they please!

Until everything was over, in front of Chengtian Gate, the Three Kingdoms sent letters of credence one after another, congratulating Empress Xiwei on her ascension to the Great Treasure.

Due to the haste of the enthronement ceremony, the envoys from various countries did not even have time to arrive. Only the credentials and gift slips were placed on the tray alone, and the rest of the envoys and congratulatory gifts were still on their way slowly heading towards Xiwei.

Leng Xia had a smile on her lips, listening to the ceremony official singing the letter of credence and the list of rites in a shrill voice.

South Korea's congratulatory gifts are nothing more than gold, silver, jade, jewelry, etc., plus twelve pairs of South Korean specialty ivory. Even if the situation between the two countries is unstable and there is a possibility of war, the obvious efforts must be made enough.

When we arrived in Eastern Chu, apart from the previous ones, a map was attached to the gift list, an extremely detailed map of the world!

Two young eunuchs spread out the map, one of them pulled a corner of the map, and stood horizontally in front of everyone. This map was as tall as a person, and it was drawn extremely finely. On it, the territories of the four countries were outlined in various colors.

"Eh?" Just when everyone didn't understand the purpose of this map, Zhou Yin exclaimed.

With a short and fat body, he trotted forward two steps, pointed at the map, and said in disbelief, "This..."

All the officials stared at it, and after thinking for a moment, Qiqi's eyes lit up, and they exclaimed excitedly.

I saw that the upper right of the map represented the blue territory of Eastern Chu, from Luofeng Pass to the original boundary of Beiyan, next to the red Senna representing Daqin, two yellow cities stood abruptly in the red and blue In the middle, which separates Eastern Chu and Daqin, are the cities of Enhesen and Manzhu, which are adjacent to Senna.

And most importantly, the colors they use...

The yellow that outlines the territory of Xiwei!

No one did not understand what this meant, but how could they believe that there were actually two cities in Dongchu's congratulatory gift!
While all the officials were discussing excitedly, Leng Xia smiled coldly.

Dongfang Run, even as it is now, one person is far away in Eastern Chu, and the other is a great treasure, across thousands of mountains and rivers, he will not forget to give him a helping hand to cause trouble.

This seems to be a gift to congratulate her on her ascension to the throne, but in fact, it is also a sharp sword inserted between her and Da Qin!

If this map is not good, it will be an opportunity for her to break with Daqin.

Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious. This is not only the nature of emperors, but also because they have to be suspicious in that position. Even if the emperor is not suspicious, all officials are suspicious.

Such two cities were sent here, right across between Daqin and Dongchu, becoming a barrier. What would Zhan Beiyan think, what would Daqin think? Watertight, close enough to share his achievements...

Could it be that there was some agreement quietly made between the two of them?
Once she accepts it, it is very likely to arouse Daqin's suspicion, but if she does not accept it, she will not be able to explain to the courtiers of Xiwei. On the day of her enthronement, Empress Xiwei actually refused to leave the city sent by Dongchu because she was afraid of Daqin. The news of her will spread all over the world tomorrow and become the laughing stock of the world!
She is Princess Lie of Great Qin, and also the Queen of Xiwei. What she does is no longer her own business, but concerns the honor and disgrace of the entire Xiwei!

Dongfang Run really made a good plan, a simple map, two dispensable cities, a sharp sword was inserted right down, creating a deep gap between her and Daqin.

One side is Daqin, where there are Zhan Beilie and Xiao Feng, that is the harbor of her heart...

One side is Xiwei, there are countless courtiers and people here, it is her responsibility...

Gradually, the Chengtianmen Square became silent. The courtiers all realized that something was wrong with her, and looked at each other in doubt. Some of them were clear-eyed, and after a moment of surprise, they gradually figured it out.

Everyone is waiting to see their queen's decision.

After these thoughts flashed through Leng Xia's mind for a moment, the corners of her lips curved slightly, and her phoenix eyes were bright.

Unfortunately, Dongfang Run's calculation was wrong!
He underestimated the trust between her and Zhan Beilie, underestimated the friendship between her and Xiao Feng, and even underestimated the Great Qin Emperor who never had any grudges against his younger brother who was far more prestigious than himself!
For these two cities that may cause suspicion, Leng Xia chooses to believe, she believes in Zhan Beilie, she believes in Xiao Feng, she believes in the country to which she once belonged, and everyone in it!

I believe that the friendship between them will not be broken easily because of Dongfang Run's little trick!
Leng Xia's heart has never felt more relaxed. It turned out that unconsciously, the trust between them has reached such a level, no doubts, no suspicions, no wild guesses!
She looked at the tense crowd and smiled proudly: "When the Eastern Chu envoys arrive, they will be received grandly by the Ministry of Rites, and I will convey my thanks!"

All the officials breathed a sigh of relief, and then happily discussed the two cities that fell from the sky. The old prime minister Zheng Koushi nodded with a light smile, and the emperor did not disappoint them.

All that was left were Daqin's credentials and the certificate of rites. The ceremonial officer took out Daqin's credentials from the tray, opened them and placed them in front of his eyes. He opened his mouth to read them out, when he suddenly froze.

He opened his eyes and read the credentials a few times, then looked at Leng Xia, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the credentials say... say..."
