Chapter 616; Haven’t left yet?

Listening to her somewhat eccentric words, Emperor Hongwen's face darkened slightly.

He tried not to have an attack, but at the next moment, Chu Zhiyi turned his head and looked at Master Gu and his party who had already taken their seats.

"Master Gu, you made a bet with me when you came here. Now you have lost, right?"

Hearing this, Master Gu gave a wry smile, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness the Princess is right, the lower official lost."

"I never expected that His Majesty the Emperor of Dongzhou would be so kind to a person."

People on both sides knew very well that the purpose of this banquet was to negotiate reconciliation.

This was a major event related to the future of the two countries. In the end, Emperor Hongwen actually ignored the important matter and insisted on protecting Lu Yaoyao.

Isn’t it just that when we talk about the major events between the two countries, it’s not as good as Lu Yaoyao alone?

"In this case, I feel that there is no need to continue."

"Emperor Dongzhou, I just happened to come here today. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, I plan to take people back to Beichu."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of many people present turned ugly, and some people's faces were also filled with worry.

"His Majesty."

At this moment, a voice sounded, and everyone looked over.

After seeing the person speaking clearly, Emperor Hongwen frowned slightly. He remembered that this person was the Wu Shilang who challenged Lu Yaoyao some time ago.

"What does Mr. Wu have to say?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that since Her Royal Highness Princess Beichu wants to meet Princess Wanfu, why not ask someone to invite her?"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Hongwen fell silent and looked at Wu Shilang with displeasure.

"Your Majesty, I think that Minister Wu has earned a good salary. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Beichu has come all the way here. As the masters, we should not neglect it."

One after another, people stood up.

Now that Princess Beichu is talking about this, even if they know that this is a threat and coercion, they have to bow their heads.

Really, the current situation does not allow them to think too much.

Once a war breaks out in the south, if a reconciliation with Beichu has not been reached, Dongzhou may be attacked from both sides, and it is impossible to act recklessly.

"Your Majesty, you'd better send someone to invite Princess Wanfu."

Even Wen Songtao stood up.

It's not that he didn't know that Princess Beichu wanted to attack Lu Yaoyao, but things have become like this, and now so many courtiers have stood up.

If His Majesty insists on going his own way, the reconciliation with Beichu will be shelved. If any big problems arise in the future, Lu Yaoyao will be the first to bear the brunt and even become a sinner.

The lesser of two evils, he stood up.

Seeing him standing up, Emperor Hongwen was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood what he meant.

He nodded and said, "Wang De, please go and explain the situation to Wanfu."

"yes."

Seeing Emperor Hongwen compromise and so many ministers standing on their side, Chu Zhiyi felt very happy.

At the same time, he also began to think about how he should humiliate Lu Yaoyao when he saw her later, so as to show off the bad temper of being humiliated before.

"Miss, Eunuch Wang De is here."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao, who was sitting on the fire bed, raised his head in surprise, looked at Qiu Yu and asked, "Who did you say was here just now?"

"Your Majesty's beloved Eunuch Wang De."

After receiving confirmation, Lu Yaoyao quickly put down his things, put on his shoes, got off the kang and walked out.

Wang De, this was a person who had helped her many times and was also an old friend of her mother. She had a lot of respect for this person in her heart.

"I've met Princess Wanfu."

"Uncle Wang De, please come inside without any courtesy. Why are you here in such a cold weather?"

Lu Yaoyao hurriedly called Wang De to go into the house, and at the same time told Qiu Yu to prepare the stove and tea.

"Princess, please stop working. I have something important to do. I don't dare to delay. You'd better follow me into the palace as soon as possible."

"Enter the palace?"

"Did something happen in the palace?"

She didn't know about Emperor Hongwen's banquet with the Northern Chu envoys today. After all, Emperor Hongwen had no intention of inviting her from the beginning.

Moreover, it was freezing outside during this period, so naturally no one would come to her villa, and she didn't like to go out.

"Today, Your Majesty is hosting a banquet for the envoys from Northern Chu"

Wang De quickly explained the matter and explained the reason why Emperor Hongwen did not invite her.

In this regard, Lu Yaoyao was quite satisfied. At least she had done so many things for Emperor Hongwen. At the critical moment, Emperor Hongwen could still treat her like this, proving that her past efforts were not in vain.

"Then Princess Beichu clearly wants to embarrass the princess, and she also demonstrated on that occasion."

"The princess may not know that the situation outside is very bad right now."

He also briefly talked about the current situation in Southern Xinjiang, Northern Chu and Dongzhou.

Nowadays, many ministers in the court support reconciliation with Beichu, so although everyone is dissatisfied with what Princess Beichu did today, there is nothing they can do about it.

So the emperor asked the old slave to come over and invite the princess to the palace for a banquet.

"I see, then please wait a moment."

Wang De nodded quickly.

After a while, Lu Yaoyao, fully armed, left Chengyuan Villa with Wang De.

It's really too cold today.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at the palace, and Lu Yaoyao followed Wang De to the banquet venue.

"Princess, wait a moment."

Lu Yaoyao nodded, and soon there was a voice calling her to enter the palace.

As soon as she entered the hall, she immediately attracted the attention of many people.

The first time they saw her again, many people couldn't help laughing.

Princess Wanfu has gained a lot of weight today.

There was no way she was afraid of the cold, so she was fully equipped to wear cotton clothes, pants, shoes, and even gloves and a hat, but she looked a lot bloated.

"Oh, Princess Wanfu is really a big arrogant person."

Lu Yaoyao hadn't spoken yet, and Emperor Hongwen hadn't spoken yet, but Chu Zhiyi spoke first.

As soon as she opened her mouth like this, she immediately caused many people to frown.

Is this too unruly?

Is this how the royal family of Beichu has cultivated themselves?

However, Lu Yaoyao turned his head to look at Chu Zhiyi with a mocking smile in confusion, and asked blankly.

"Yours?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Chu Zhiyi's face instantly cracked, and many ministers in Dongzhou felt happy in their hearts.

While he was happy, he was also worried. With Lu Yaoyao's current attitude, he was afraid that he would have to face the Princess of Beichu again today.

Thinking about what happened in southern Xinjiang, they were a little worried that things would get messed up.

At this time, Wen Songtao hurriedly said: "Princess Wanfu, I heard that you have been very busy during this period, so you must not remember this person. She is the Princess of Beichu."

Wen Songtao's words were well said, and he could be regarded as trying to make up for Lu Yaoyao, and at the same time, he could be regarded as giving Princess Beichu a step forward.

However, after he finished speaking, Lu Yaoyao spoke again: "Oh, I think about it, why haven't I gone back yet? Are you planning to stay in Dongzhou for the New Year?"

As soon as these words came out, many people raised their eyebrows. Unexpectedly, really unexpectedly, even Wen Songtao couldn't be fooled by her. They didn't understand what happened to Lu Yaoyao today?

She is such a smart girl on weekdays, why is she so out of tune today?
