536: Robbery (1)

Robbery (1)

Everyone present was originally smiling, but as they listened, the smile on their faces gradually froze. Huangfu Hao stared into Prince Rui's eyes, and Fu Xiuyi also looked at him in surprise. Princess Ming An's face was stiff, and her expression was almost distorted.0

The crown prince laughed and tried to ease the situation. "Miss Shen is talented and beautiful, so she naturally attracted countless heroes!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Prince Rui picked up the wine cup with a faint smile and stopped talking.

Everyone thought that he was just joking. How could Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty marry a general's daughter of Ming Qi? Not to mention that the two of them were not compatible, in this sensitive and tense situation, marrying a girl from another country was no different from plating a spy on his side. No matter how bold Prince Rui was, he would probably not dare to take this risk.

Everyone was still smiling and drinking. However, ever since Prince Rui said that, Princess Ming An had been consumed by hatred. Her eyes were filled with hostility, making Huangfu Hao frown.

All in all, the banquet held by the crown prince was considered successful. The princes of Ming Qi probably wanted to find out what kind of attitude the State of Qin and the Daliang Dynasty had towards Ming Qi. Up until now, the State of Qin had been very close to Ming Qi and had no intention of becoming enemies. On the other hand, Prince Rui was neither warm nor cold, making the princes confused.

In the end, Prince Rui was the first to leave. Because of his absence, Princess Ming An's expression became even worse. On the way back, she punished several servants. Even the subordinates who came to deliver the official letter to Prince Ding were scolded by her.

The two subordinates were none other than Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao. Fu Xiuyi reprimanded the two of them for a while before Princess Ming An stopped. When Fu Xiuyi returned, he told his advisors what happened at the banquet today. He thought for a moment and said, "That Prince Rui seems to be a little hostile to me. Is he deliberately putting me in a difficult spot at the banquet?"

Fu Xiuyi had recruited a group of capable people. Among the princes, he was not the most scheming. However, no one could compare to him in terms of recruiting talents and perseverance. In order to recruit someone, he was willing to travel far to see the person and wait outside his door for an entire night on the coldest day. Therefore, in addition to being talented, his advisors were also loyal to him. Once there was a problem, he could always get an answer from his advisors.

The art of choosing who he could trust was what an emperor should learn the most. In this aspect, Fu Xiuyi was indeed the most outstanding emperor.

While the advisors were deep in thought, Fu Xiuyi looked at the green-robed man at the front and said, "Mr. Pei, do you have any thoughts?"

Among the advisors, Pei Lang was trusted the most by Fu Xiuyi. Pei Lang was recruited by Fu Xiuyi two years ago. At that time, Fu Xiuyi was amazed by Pei Lang's talent, but Pei Lang was not greedy for power and didn't want to get involved. In the end, Fu Xiuyi spent a lot of effort and even swore that he would be a righteous and benevolent emperor before Pei Lang was convinced to follow him. Pei Liang didn't disappoint Fu Xiuyi. In the past two years, he helped Fu Xiuyi solve many problems. Therefore, now, every time he encountered something he couldn't solve, Fu Xiuyi would always think of Pei Lang immediately.
