I rely on gossip to save the country

Chapter 116 Master Fanyin comes with the 5th prince

When Xie Chuyue met Beiqi Kingdom, she gnashed her teeth in hatred and didn't give any face at all, "This princess despises you, you'd better not come."

Princess Jianing: ………This little princess is really as difficult to deal with as the rumors say. She doesn't even give me any face at all.

Although Princess Jianing thought so in her heart, she had a gentle smile on her face, and it seemed that she was not annoyed by Xie Chuyue's words at all.

"Princess Chunyang is really kind. This princess just wants to offer a glass of wine to Princess Chunyang. Why is Princess Chunyang so defensive?"

As Princess Jianing spoke, she handed the wine glass in her hand to Xie Chuyue, looking at Xie Chuyue with a smile in her eyes.

But Xie Chuyue thought it was just a drink and didn't think much about it. She took it and was about to drink it. At this moment, the system reminded her.

System: [Host, I think you should still give it a try. Be careful that someone may have poisoned this wine glass! ]

Xie Chuyue's hand holding the cup was in mid-air: [This Princess Ning shouldn't dare to poison me, right? After all, this is also our Nanyue country's territory. ]

Hearing Xie Chuyue's words about poisoning, all the civil and military officials of Nanyue State and Emperor Mingde looked at Xie Chuyue and the other person.

Everyone thought: Could the Beiqi Kingdom be so stupid as to poison their little princess in front of them?

Everyone looked at Xie Chuyue nervously.

When Princess Jianing saw that Xie Chuyue didn't drink, she was stunned. She thought, would she really not give her face?

Xie Chuyue handed the wine glass to the phantom behind him and ordered, "Phantom, test for poison!"

"Yes!" Phantom responded, took the wine glass from Xie Chuyue's hand, and started to test it openly in front of everyone.

Princess Jianing finally reacted and chuckled.

This smile dazzled Xie Chuyue. Princess Jianing was very beautiful, with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. She looked at Xie Chuyue with a resentful tone and said,

"Princess Chunyang, drink without worry. I just want to make friends with you. Princess Chunyang is too defensive."

This is when Phantom finished the inspection and replied respectfully to Xie Chuyue, "Master, it is not poisonous."

Xie Chuyue finally felt relieved. She touched her nose awkwardly and explained, "There are quite a few people who want to kill me. I have to be on guard. Princess Jianing, please forgive me."

Princess Jianing's mouth twitched slightly, and she only said, "I understand."

Then, after watching Xie Chuyue drink the wine, she left and returned to her seat.

Xie Chuyue: [Tong, what does Princess Jianing want to do? Ever since she came to our Nanyue Kingdom, she has been looking for me all over the capital. Now that she has seen me, does she just want to toast me a glass of wine? Why do I feel like she has bad intentions towards me? ]

Everyone in Nanyue Kingdom also thought that Princess Jianing from Beiqi Kingdom must have come to provoke their little princess, but they never expected that she would just toast them with a glass of wine and leave, leaving everyone confused.

Originally, they had been prepared. If the people from Jianing County dared to bully their little princess, they would definitely drown her with their spit.

As a result, he just toasted me with a glass of wine and left.

Civil and military officials were so angry that they couldn't vent it.

The system was also a little confused at this time. Why is Princess Jianing playing with her heartbeat here? [Host, maybe she really doesn't have any bad intentions. Let's observe her first.]

Xie Chuyue: [Okay, let’s ignore her for now. It would be best if she behaves herself. Otherwise, I will let her die in a foreign land.]

Xie Chuyue said, and then she picked up the cup on the table to drink water. The system quickly stopped her, "Host, you got the wrong cup. Drink tea, not wine. Envoys from various countries are here. If you get drunk at this time, you will not be famous throughout the country, but famous in various countries."

Xie Chuyue also knew that she could only drink water today. She accidentally took the wrong drink just now and put it aside.

Xie Chuyue: [I know, I know. Don't worry, I won't drink. It would be bad if I made a fool of myself after drinking.]

Emperor Mingde was relieved to hear this, as his precious daughter did not let him down at the critical moment.

Hearing this, the brothers Xie Yunqing and Xie Yunshen were obviously relieved. They had seen their own sister drunk before, so as long as she didn't drink today, they would be relieved.

Just when everything was back to normal, a young eunuch ran in from outside the palace and reported, "Your Majesty, Master Fanyin has come with the Fifth Prince and the First Prince."

Hearing this, the three brothers of the Xie family glanced at their father inadvertently.

Emperor Mingde seemed surprised, "Oh——"

Then he said, "Pass it on!"

Xie Chuyue: [Tong, my eldest and fifth brothers are here, how come I didn’t know? Why didn’t you tell me? Why are you so useless? ]

System: […Host, it’s not that I’m useless, it’s that you’re too busy. You’ve been keeping an eye on Beiqi Country for a while, and they’re coming anyway, so it’s useless to tell you.]

Xie Chuyue thought so too. It seemed that whether they came or not had no effect on her.

While Xie Chuyue was talking to the system, an old monk wearing a gray Taoist robe and with a kind face came in with a little monk, and beside him was the eldest prince in military uniform.

Emperor Mingde watched Master Fanyin enter the hall, then he stepped down from the main seat and looked at the newcomer with respect, "Master Fanyin, why didn't you inform me in advance that you were coming? I could have sent someone to the city gate to welcome you."

Master Fanyin put his hands together, bowed to Emperor Mingde, and finally stood up, "Amitabha, this poor disciple misses your majesty very much, so I brought him here to find his relatives."

At this time, the eldest prince Xie Yunli and the fifth prince Xie Yunjing, who were following behind Master Fanyin, knelt down together and saluted to Emperor Mingde, "Your son pays respect to your father!"

Emperor Mingde looked at the two of them and said in a calm voice, with no emotion to be heard, "Stand up!"

After the two stood up, Xie Yunjing spoke, "Father, I came back when I learned that your birthday was approaching. I was traveling and heard that there was a kind of spice that could instantly calm people's minds, so I found it and gave it to you as a birthday gift."

As Xie Yunjing spoke, he took out a square box from the sleeve of his Taoist robe.

When Fu Yuande saw the gesture from his Majesty the Emperor, he took it.

"Well, Laowu is thoughtful. I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have grown a lot taller." Emperor Mingde looked at the little kid who was no more than six or seven years old when he left, and now he has grown into a gentle and elegant young man.

Xie Yunjing smiled gently.

Only then did Emperor Mingde slowly look towards his eldest son, as if he had just seen the eighteen-year-old Xie Yunli. His face was as cold as frost, and even when facing Emperor Mingde, he did not show the slightest smile.

"It's your father's birthday. I'm giving you a big gift." Xie Yunli said he was giving a big gift, but the expression on his face didn't change at all, as if he was just talking about what to eat for dinner.

Emperor Mingde did not reply, but instead said coldly, "You returned to the palace without permission, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"

Xie Yunli was neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone was still cold and indifferent, "Father's birthday is such a big event, all the brothers are here, if I don't come, wouldn't it be unfilial?"

Xie Yunli paused for a moment, then continued, "I have captured three cities at the border. I will use these three cities as gifts to wish my father a long life!"
