quiet.
In the main hall, all the sounds disappeared, only Huazhi's calm but majestic words echoed.
No one expected that before the birthday banquet officially started, His Majesty the Emperor would start to call for punishment.
In an instant, countless eyes were looking at where Mr. Three was.
Beating a dog depends on the owner.
It was Mr. Third's bodyguard who made the remarks just now, and now His Majesty the Emperor wants to ask questions, which would be a slap in Mr. Third's face.
"His Majesty..."
Mr. Third stood up slowly in the eyes of everyone, raised his hands, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a voice.
"Today is the Ai family's birthday banquet. Mr. Third is here as a guest, so Your Majesty does not need to be too harsh."
It was Queen Mother Ji who spoke.
Seeing Queen Mother Ji speak, many people present breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Daxia attaches great importance to filial piety, and it is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to deny honor to the Queen Mother on such an occasion.
Even Mr. Three's expression softened slightly.
If Huazhi insists on asking for guilt, then he will not be able to keep the dignity on his face.
Just when everyone thought that the matter had been revealed, above, Huazhi snorted coldly: "His Royal Highness King You is the pillar of Daxia. How can we allow others to offend? Whoever made a speech just now was kicked out of the hall by me."
After the words fell, the hall became quiet again.
No one thought that the emperor would not even give the queen mother face.
It seems that everyone has underestimated King You's status in His Majesty's heart!
Huazhi's expression was cold, and although there was no expression on her face, anyone could feel her anger.
Her husband had been waiting hard in the wilderness for three years. When Huazhi returned to the cabin with the Snow Dragon Rider, she looked at the scars on Li Qingxuan's hands and the lifelike paintings, and she swore in her heart. , In this life, she will never let down Li Qingxuan. If anyone hurts Li Qingxuan, she will fight that person to the death.
Nowadays, the guards around the envoy of Da Li dare to be angry with her husband. If she pretends not to see it today, can she be worthy of her husband's efforts and her own conscience?
Mr. Third's expression has completely changed.
The development of things was a bit beyond his expectation.
He did not expect that the empress would choose to attack on this occasion.
This caught him, who had always been able to control the overall situation, a little unprepared.
"Mr. 3's guard just wanted to spar with General Ye, it's no big deal." Just when the atmosphere in the venue became more and more solemn, Li Qingxuan spoke.
You can take care of a guard at any time, it doesn't have to be on this occasion. After all, it is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. If word spreads, it will have an impact on Huazhi's reputation.
Li Qingxuan may not care about reputation, but he does not want his wife to be criticized by others.
"Little brother, to be honest with you, your strength is not worthy of General Ye's action. Why don't you wait for me to warm up with you?"
Hearing Li Qingxuan's words, the young man's eyes turned red with anger.
He thought Li Qingxuan was an insult to him.
As the number one swordsman in Da Li, when had he ever been so underestimated? It was simply too much.
He laughed angrily: "Okay, Your Highness King You, this is what you said. It's just fists and feet without eyes. Don't hurt you when the time comes."
"Haha." Li Qingxuan laughed loudly: "Just feel free to take action. I really don't look down on a little guy like you."
There was a commotion in the hall.
mad.
So crazy.
Since the other party was Mr. Third's bodyguard, he was certainly not bad at it, but Li Qingxuan looked down upon him so much, and even deliberately angered him with his words, which was really a bit too arrogant.
The Queen Mother sat above, watching all this quietly, with a calm expression on her face.
The third gentleman had a sneer on his lips.
Just in time to teach this King You some lessons.
Now that King You has said it himself, even if his guards are more aggressive, the people of Daxia will not be able to say anything.
Since you brought your face up to Mr. Ben to be beaten, we won't be polite.
The banquet begins.
Envoys from various countries congratulated the Empress Dowager on her longevity and happiness.
Li Qingxuan also kept drinking with Yuan Guang next to him.
Daxia is relatively open-minded in this regard. Even if the emperor is here, the ministers are very free. You come to me to toast, and I come to him to communicate with each other. It is very lively.
"I heard that Mr. San is the leading poet in Dali. I have long admired Mr. San's poems. Now that we are enjoying wine and delicacies, and it is the Queen Mother's birthday, why not ask Mr. San to compose a poem on the spot to open our eyes." A Daxia The official looked like a dog licker.
"Yes, Mr. Three, please play a song!"
"It's such an honor to witness the birth of a masterpiece today!"
Everyone in the field spoke one after another.
Mr. San was not surprised by this situation. With the name of his poem, how could no one ask him to write a poem on such an occasion.
But he didn't agree, but looked at Li Qingxuan opposite with a sneer.
This world-famous poet of Dali has only been in Daxia for a few days, and he has already developed a lot of grudges with King You of Daxia.
Noticing Mr. Third's gaze, everyone looked at Li Qingxuan who was sitting there, thinking in their hearts, could it be that the chief poet of Dali was unwilling to compose poetry because of his previous grudge with Li Qingxuan? That would be such a pity.
"I heard that His Highness You Wang is both civilized and military, so why not ask His Highness You Wang to compose a poem first."
Mr. Third spoke, which was a bit unexpected.
But everyone suddenly understood.
This third gentleman didn't want Li Qingxuan to compose a poem. He clearly wanted to make Li Qingxuan look embarrassed.
After all, although Li Qingxuan had written a few poems before and gained a little reputation, they were only circulated within Yuan Guang's small circle.
Most people don't know that Li Qingxuan has poetry talent.
Not to mention that Li Qingxuan was just a rough and reckless man in everyone's mind. Even the leaders of the great literary world such as Yuan Guang and his ilk, how could the poems they produced compare with those of the great poets?
I'm afraid no matter what kind of work I create, it will eventually be compared to others.
Originally, everyone just wanted Mr. San to compose poems, but now it seems to have been inadvertently involved in the face dispute between Dali and Daxia.
If Daxia loses, doesn't it mean that Daxia has no one.
Everyone held their breath and looked at Li Qingxuan, hoping that Li Qingxuan would not agree, lest they themselves would be humiliated and lose face to Daxia.
If Li Qingxuan doesn't agree, the other party can't force him to write poetry. After all, you are the chief poet of Dali, so you can't bully others, right?
Unexpectedly, Li Qingxuan blurted out: "Okay, just writing one poem is not enough. I might as well write hundreds of poems and let the world know that the so-called top poet in Dali is nothing more than this."
No matter how good the Third Gentleman was at cultivating his Qi, he was still completely angered by Li Qingxuan at this moment.
There are such arrogant people.
Not only Mr. San, but also the envoys from Dali were furious.
"This King You is so arrogant that he dares to compete with Mr. Third in poetry."
"Yes, Mr. Third must teach him a lesson."
"When it comes to poetry, I, Da Li, have always been firmly ahead of Da Xia."
The ministers of Daxia were even more worried.
It's okay if Li Qingxuan doesn't say harsh words. If he says such harsh words and loses, it will be very embarrassing.
Huazhi's eyes were filled with worry.
After all, the third gentleman is the chief poet, so what my husband said was a bit too full.
"A liar."
The young man stared at Li Qingxuan and thought: "This King You wants to compete with me in martial arts and also compete with Mr. San in poetry. Could it be that he wants to suffer double humiliation?"
"Then please."
Mr. Third picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He wanted to see if King You had the guts to speak arrogantly.
