After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

In the past, after the spring hunting, there would always be a night feast. However, the lantern viewing and riddle guessing at the banquet had to be put on hold because Zuozang was short of money. Although this year is not peaceful, the three towns of Heshuo returned last year, wiped out the rebels, and regained Chang'an. The feudal towns and feudal states were also invited, so all departments are racking their brains to prepare.

The bead lanterns at the banquet were specially made by craftsmen. One by one, they were placed all the way from the door to the throne. The east seats are the nobles and clan members of the Tian family, while the west seats are the three ministers, nine ministers and envoys of the vassal state. There are viewing areas in each of the two places, both equipped with pens, ink, paper and inkstones. When you are enjoying the wine, you can write poems and riddles or improvise lantern riddles.

According to custom, in the first round, all the ministers pay respect to the king first. However, just as the ministers finished their respects, they saw the Blue Immortal getting up, walking to the hall and standing still. He was wearing a crane cloak, a Huayang scarf on his head, and a swish of his tail.

"Xiao Dao congratulates Your Majesty." Lan Xianren said with a smile. He paused and then spoke, "Xiao Dao was meditating in a quiet place just now. He saw magpies gathering together and circling. He knew it was auspicious. When he counted with his fingers, he saw seven colors in the southeast. The auspicious lotus suddenly appears. Now that I see Your Highness, I finally know where this auspiciousness comes from."

Pei Jiaoran raised his lips slightly as he looked at the dancing and eloquent Blue Immortal. This man's ability to tell nonsense is really admirable.

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Wei suddenly sighed. His expression remained calm and calm, "It was my granddaughter who discovered Xiangrui."

"That's it. Your Highness, she is the reincarnation of the beautiful girl under Bixia Yuanjun, so it's no wonder that she can attract auspiciousness from the sky." The smile on Lan Xianren's face deepened.

Among the three nobles and nine ministers sitting here, none of them are the best among the best. How can you find anything auspicious or unlucky in a half-grown child? It is clear that someone deliberately guided him, but he also liked the king. The king may not believe that half-year-old children will not lie. He just thinks that the auspicious meaning is good and does not delve into the truth or falsehood.

Everyone looked at their noses, their noses and their hearts, and they all smiled and congratulated Emperor Wei. Jia Gonglu, who was sitting opposite Pei Jiaoran, raised his head and looked at her.

Sensing Jia Gonglu's gaze, Pei Jiaoran relaxed his eyebrows and smiled.

Under the repeated toasts from all the ministers, Emperor Wei couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, and his face looked slightly intoxicated. But he saw the Tibetan envoy getting up and walking out of the crowd. He quickly got up and walked aside, pretending to guess lantern riddles.

After understanding the king's intention, Zhang Rang quickly signaled to the servant to stop him, and then said a few funny words. The people of Zhangluo Palace lit lanterns to offer offerings, and all the ministers also followed to guess lantern riddles. He actually left the Tibetan envoy aside.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty, on behalf of my king, I would like to propose to your country to marry a princess of the Celestial Dynasty." The Tibetan envoy said loudly again.

After the sound fell, the monarchs and ministers who had gathered together to guess lantern riddles all turned back to look at the Tibetan envoy under the beaded lamp.

"Are you asking to marry a princess?" Emperor Wei turned to look at him, with an unexplained light in his eyes, "But I don't have a princess of the right age."

"As long as she is a princess of the Celestial Dynasty. For example, she is as beautiful and intelligent as this girl." The Tibetan envoy raised his hand and pointed at Pei Jiaoran.

All the ministers were stunned.

Someone couldn't help but said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is not the princess of our court. She is the minister of my court."

"She's not a princess? Then, Your Majesty the Emperor of Wei, can you canonize her as a princess? Our Khan needs such a princess to become a princess." The Tibetan envoy looked solemn.

Pei Jiaoran, who was thrown into the center of the discussion, glanced at the Tibetan envoy and said in a calm tone, "I think you are not used to the delicacies of our dynasty and are not accustomed to the local culture. So you are so confused."

"What do you mean?" the Tibetan envoy asked confused.

"How can we pretend to be of the blood of the Tian family? Moreover, I am the minister of the Secretariat of the Great Wei Dynasty. If I marry a princess far away, can you afford the price?" Pei Jiaoran chuckled, "Don't forget a hundred years ago, when you invaded Hexi by Tibet. The same thing happened. He was defeated by the secret order of our court, and he had sworn to surrender when he entered Chang'an. Now he has betrayed his promise and tried to marry the princess of our court, which is really disgraceful. "

As soon as he comes up, he exposes others and shows no mercy at all. He is really overbearing. Those who were familiar with Pei Jiaoran looked at the Tibetan envoy with sympathy. This person is afraid that he will be unlucky.

Stirred by Pei Jiaoran's aggressive tone, the Tibetan envoy's face turned cold and he stared at her.

"Your Majesty Wei, is this how you allow your courtiers to insult envoys?" the Tibetan envoy said angrily.

After hearing the question, Emperor Wei glanced at Pei Jiaoran, and looked at the Tibetan envoy with a smile, "Why should your envoy be angry? What Mr. Pei said is indeed inappropriate, but it is true. I don't have a princess of the right age, and I can't let my minister be a princess. Marry far away. Please change the conditions."

When he stopped talking, Emperor Wei glanced at Pei Jiaoran with a hint of admiration. What Pei Jiaoran said just now was exactly what he wanted. It not only resolved her crisis, but also severely suppressed Tubo's arrogance.

"But our king just wants to marry a princess of the Celestial Dynasty. I hope His Majesty the Emperor of Wei will allow it. Let us be friends with Qin and Jin forever." After saying this, the Tubo envoy leaned down and knelt down.

The courtiers present understood the meaning of these words very well - Tubo once again showed goodwill to the Wei Dynasty, so it asked for peace. And the so-called princess of the Celestial Dynasty only needs to have the title of princess. In this way, even if Emperor Wei did not have a daughter of the right age, he could still choose one from others. Clan relatives and courtiers are all good candidates.

Regardless of whether the daughter is regarded as the apple of one's eye, even if one does not regard one's daughter as the apple of one's eye, it is better for a daughter of the right age to marry into another family than to marry outside the vassal state.

As soon as everyone analyzed it, they all became uneasy.

"Qingjia, what do you think?" Emperor Wei glanced over.

Looking at Emperor Wei, Pei Jiaoran said: "Your Majesty, I thought today is a spring hunt and all the ministers are not at court. Is it inappropriate to mention the marriage rashly?" As she said this, she looked at the Tibetan envoy, "Why don't we just leave today? Xi, wait until you return to Chang'an and discuss this matter with Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites."

What to discuss? Tubo just wanted a princess, so there was no need to go to such trouble. These words were clearly intended to delay the process so that the Tibetan envoys would return without success.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran, Jia Gonglu frowned. He knew that Emperor Wei valued Pei Jiaoran's talent, brains and strategies. It is a pity to abandon such a minister, because no one will help him plan his interests and make the imperial power rise.

"That's true." Shen Mu stood up. Emperor Wei glanced at Pei Jiaoran and said, "Then we will disperse today as Xianggong Pei said. After returning to Chang'an, Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and Pei Qing will lead the Zhongshu Province to handle the matter. This matter."

He looked at the prince again and said, "Prince, please come too."

"Here."

After the banquet was over, the officials got up and left one after another.

"Pei Qing, stay here," the prince called.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran turned around and saw the prince handing the daughter in his arms to Wei Ruo, "I wonder if Pei Qing can go with me."

Looking at the prince, Pei Jiaoran nodded.

She knew that the prince wanted to ask what happened today.
