Concubine's true colors

Chapter 347
Guo Yi is now just a mere fourth-rank imperial censor, laughing so unscrupulously is already an inappropriate death penalty in front of the palace.

And because he was recommended by Zhou Xianrui to become an official, everyone regarded him as a member of the prince's party.

Therefore, an official sent by the prince immediately stood up and accused Guo Yi of behaving like Meng Lang, so he should be thrown out of the palace immediately, so as to save him from staying embarrassing and conspicuous.

But after hearing more than a dozen ministers yelling at him to leave the Jinhua Palace, Guo Yi stopped laughing, and suddenly slapped the table, then pointed at these people and said:
"I feel that I am inappropriate in front of Guo Yi's palace. From my point of view, it is you gentlemen who are embarrassing. When did I have to exchange the peace of my Dazhou border with a woman? Don't colleagues think that hiding in a woman's skirt handkerchief Now, it is a cowardly act to exchange for ten years of peace. Such a shameless act is even listed as the mouth of the minister. It is hard for me, Guo Yi, not to laugh when I hear it."

Guo Yi's mouth has always been known to be tricky in the court, and almost no one can speak against him.

Therefore, seeing that they were kneeling on the ground, those ministers who asked the Emperor Ming for permission to send Xiao Jinxuan to Beirong all showed red faces.

Guo Yi laughed, and still refused to let them go lightly, and continued to criticize them sharply:
"Let's not talk about the cessation of the war in exchange for a woman. This matter is not ashamed. Just talking about my colleagues, are you so eager to agree to the proposal of the third prince? Is it implying that you have no confidence in our country's soldiers and horses? What's more Princess Zhaoyang is the biological granddaughter of Marshal Xiao. He is defending the territory of Da Zhou in the frontier, but you people are behind the scenes and want to send his granddaughter to another country. As a result, the army mutinied, can you take responsibility for this?"

After Guo Yi's words, he even pointed out several fatal key points, and immediately the whole hall fell silent, and even Emperor Ming's expression turned ugly.

And at this moment, Meng Mian, who was the servant of the household department, also stood up, and then looked at Xiao Yunyan neither humble nor overbearing, but said with a very solemn expression:
"If the lower officials seconded Guo Yushi, the princess of Zhaoyang must not go to Beirong with the third prince. Except for the points mentioned by Guo Yushi above. Now His Majesty has already given the marriage to the Yuwang first. , if the decree is changed from day to day and spread among the countries, wouldn't it make the countries mistakenly think that I am incompetent, and I can't even protect the queen-to-be. Such behavior is simply insulting to the country, so I ask the emperor not to agree to Bei Rong. Disrespectful request."

Seeing Emperor Ming's expression, he seemed to have fallen into silence. Xue Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, who was Empress Xue's brother, immediately pointed at Guo Yi and said:
"Princess Qingxiang, when the swans danced together, Guo Yi, you called it a sign of auspiciousness and advocated marriage. Now that you are Princess Zhaoyang, why did you change your rhetoric immediately? In my opinion, you are simply grandstanding. There is another purpose."

Hearing this, Guo Yi immediately saw Guo Yi, and immediately snorted with great disdain, and then immediately retorted without giving in:
"Between Da Zhou and Daliang, there is a country of covenant. The marriage of a princess is called a marriage, not a bargaining chip in exchange for the cessation of the war. I said Master Xue is so simple and easy to understand. You are the Minister of the Ministry of War. Do you still need Guo Yi to speak out before you can understand, it is really ridiculous."

Looking at the scene where Guo Yi was restrained by one person, the officials and ministers in the hall were blushing and unable to refute.

Xiao Jinxuan, who was silent from the beginning to the end, couldn't help but secretly smiled.

Xiao Yunyan's proposal that she would go to Beirong with her in exchange for a ten-year contract was actually unexpected. She never expected that the other party would say this in public.

Originally, she wanted to refute right away, but seeing Guo Yi below, she kept giving her winks.

Xiao Jinxuan was a transparent person, and knew that Guo Yi had a way to deal with it.

That's why she chose to keep silent and leave all the troublesome matters to the other party.

Seeing Guo Yi and Meng Mian's words clearly made Ming Emperor cautious, Xiao Yunyan saw it, but he couldn't help secretly anxious.

Immediately after frowning slightly, Xiao Yunyan seemed to have made up his mind, then he cupped his hands to Emperor Ming and said:

"If ten years of fighting is not enough to call Princess Zhaoyang to return to Beirong with His Highness, then I am willing to add [-] horses and cede three cities. Your Majesty should be satisfied with this condition, right?" .”

The reason why Beirong Iron Cavalry became famous in all countries is because of the fatness and vigor of the war horses.

Now that Xiao Yunyan opened his mouth, he was willing to give away [-] horses, plus three cities. If it wasn't for his expression not being weird, everyone in the hall would have thought him crazy.

After all, Xiao Jinxuan is just a woman when she is alive.For a woman, he was willing to pay such a high price.

If this is written into the history books in the future, I am afraid that future generations will criticize Xiao Yunyan's frivolous act.

But this time, Xiao Yunyan almost finished speaking, and Emperor Ming hadn't recovered from the huge bargaining chip to answer.

Zhou Xianyu, who had heard the smoldering energy in his chest for a long time, completely exhausted all his remaining patience.

Then, everyone saw almost only an afterimage suddenly disappearing from Xiao Jinxuan's side.

And the next moment, Zhou Xianyu's figure had already come in front of Xiao Yunyan, and he turned his palm into a fist, and punched the other side directly.

For Zhou Xianyu today, he didn't know how long he had been looking forward to it, so even when Xiao Yunyan proposed a ten-year agreement, he was already so annoyed that he wanted to kill someone.

But seeing Guo Yi's sharp tongue, she deftly resolved the matter.

Zhou Xianyu didn't want any unpleasant things to happen on the day when he and Xiao Jinxuan bestowed their marriage, so he secretly suppressed all the unhappiness.

But when Xiao Yunyan kept raising his bargaining chip again and again in order to compete with Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianyu, who didn't know how to write the word "forbearance", was completely pissed off.

With this move, Zhou Xianyu acted like a cheetah, with five moves in a row, attacking Xiao Yunyan's vital points, it can be said that he had no intention of showing mercy at all.

Fortunately, Xiao Yunyan's kung fu is not weak, so he avoided them one by one.

But because he was in a hurry to respond to the enemy when he was discussing the bargaining chip with Emperor Ming just now, Xiao Yunyan still couldn't dodge Zhou Xianyu's last punch, and immediately got a solid hit on the chest.

Seeing Xiao Yunyan spit out a mouthful of blood, Zhou Xianyu's eyes were slightly scarlet, and he said in a cold voice:
"Xuan'er and I gave the marriage today. Seeing blood in the hall made it look a little more festive. Who else thinks Xiao Yunyan's proposal is good, stand up and show it to me. I want to know, too. A few who are not afraid of death."

As soon as Zhou Xianyu finished speaking, his eyes were like knives, and he glanced over the ministers in the hall who just advocated agreeing to the ten-year agreement.

And with his cold and emotionless eyes, no one dared to look at him in the slightest.

This time, Zhou Xianyu's lazy aura has disappeared, and he has become the invincible king of the generation who is invincible on the battlefield.

And at this moment, the strong bloody aura around him didn't even dare to let anyone get close, but a pair of bare hands grabbed Zhou Xianyu's sleeves without any fear, and gently tugged at his crotch. clothes corner.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jinxuan's usual cold voice, but with a hint of gentleness, rang out in the silent Jinhua Hall.

"Xianyu, don't be impulsive. You actually misunderstood the matter of the Third Highness. You go and sit aside first. Let me handle the next thing."

Anyone could see that Zhou Xianyu was in a rage, but what people didn't expect was that it was almost Xiao Jinxuan who finished speaking.

It can be seen that not only the scarlet in Zhou Xianyu's eyes receded instantly, but also the suffocating sense of oppression disappeared from his whole body.

And Zhou Xianyu nodded without hesitation after glancing at Xiao Jinxuan, and then his voice slowly returned to normal and said:

"Okay, since Xuan'er has spoken, then you can deal with it yourself. Anyway, with me by your side, I want to see who dares to touch you."

The big contrast between Zhou Xianyu's front and back, and his obedient and extremely accommodating appearance to Xiao Jinxuan's words, immediately made everyone stunned.

As for Xiao Jinxuan who was talking about this meeting, she had already walked in front of Xiao Yunyan in a few steps, and handed her brocade handkerchief to him.

"I told Your Highness a long time ago that you really shouldn't bet with me with Xianyu. You also said that you want to see for yourself how the other party will react if you invite me to Beirong. Yu is bound to be furious, now that His Highness the Third Highness has lost, you must keep your word for what you promised me before."

Xiao Yunyan, who was wiping the blood off the corner of his mouth, heard these words, and couldn't tell that Xiao Jinxuan was trying to save himself.

After all, the so-called bet has never been discussed between the two of them.

But seeing the matter of exchanging chips for Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianyu's interference was obviously unworkable.

Immediately, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Yunyan also laughed, followed Xiao Jinxuan's words, nodded and said:
"Yes, it seems that His Highness's joke was a bit too much, but I am from Beirong, and I have a bold personality. I can't make up for my jokes."

Knowing that Xiao Jinxuan would not be able to bring her back to Beirong with chips, Xiao Yunyan suffered some internal injuries in her chest immediately, and was not in the mood to stay at the banquet any longer, so she immediately got up and said goodbye.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, shortly after Xiao Yunyan left the banquet, she also temporarily left the banquet by herself on the grounds that she was overwhelmed with alcohol.

However, Xiao Jinxuan, who was still stroking her forehead in the hall and looked like she was unsteady after drinking, immediately returned to her cool look with her drunken eyes after leaving the Jinhua Hall.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who was obviously pretending to be drunk, was suddenly stopped by someone grabbing her arm after turning around a long corridor.

But regarding all this, Xiao Jinxuan did not show any panic, when she saw through the moonlight that the person who stopped her was none other than Xiao Yunyan who had just left the table.

Immediately Xiao Jinxuan said with a slight smile:

"The third prince is really sharp. Jinxuan just hinted at it just now, and you know that I want to meet with you alone to talk in detail. In fact, we should really speak clearly to each other. After all, I don't want to see the scene in the Jinhua Palace today." When it happens a second time."
