PFC Chapter 328 Yet he never felt that it was because he was too incompetent that he acted this way.
Chapter 328 Yet he never felt that it was because he was too incompetent that he acted this way.
It was supposed to be the turn of Western Chu to present beauties, but the Western Chu envoys made no move whatsoever.
Many people in the main hall expressed their surprise and confusion.
Emperor Jingzhao saw that Chu Qinglan was indeed very beautiful, at least above average.
But she was so timid and cowardly that she didn't dare to raise her head the whole time.
If someone speaks too loudly, it will startle her and make her panic.
He couldn't stand such a cowardly and weak person at all.
Moreover, he had just taken in two such stunning beauties, so he had even less interest in Chu Qinglan.
So after sizing up Chu Qinglan, he looked away.
He then looked at the envoys of the four countries and said, "Tomorrow we will formally sign the peace treaty. I hope that the envoys of the four countries will uphold their sincerity and work together to maintain the hard-won peace. All parties should keep their promises, work together to seek the well-being of the people and build peace for the world."
Upon hearing this, the envoys from the four countries all cupped their hands in response.
Chu Qinglan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When His Majesty looked her over just now, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move at all.
I was nervous, scared, anxious, and flustered.
Then I thought about it, and realized that His Majesty simply dislikes such cowardly people.
Therefore, she deliberately acted as if she was very scared.
Then, when she heard His Majesty say that a peace treaty would be signed, a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart.
This level is finally passed.
At this moment, Chu Qinglan could no longer contain her joy and revealed a bright smile.
However, her head was always lowered, so no one saw her.
Seeing this, Chu Xiyao couldn't help but smile, feeling extremely relieved.
Then he glanced at Ling Yan again, his eyes full of amusement.
As for the Xuan Yue Kingdom among the four kingdoms, everyone knows that they did not offer any beauties.
Therefore, no one paid any attention to this matter.
But in fact, Emperor Jingzhao could have taken Yun Yao into his harem; she had no right to refuse.
However, Emperor Jingzhao felt that although she was beautiful, she was too domineering and too cold.
Such women are highly capable, just like the sixth brother's wife, her mother, and the other women who have already joined the army.
He can appreciate and recognize their talents and abilities, and let them dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to the Great Zhao.
But adding her to the harem is out of the question.
The women in his harem should be gentle, quiet, elegant, respectful, humble, dignified, and beautiful.
Therefore, he only glanced at Yun Yao a few times before looking away.
Lingyan had expected this.
If it had been Yun Xiyan or Yun Shao who came today, things would probably not have turned out this way.
Thankfully it was Yun Yao.
However, Emperor Jingzhao was a man she found hard to describe.
He disliked neither timid and cowardly women nor bold and assertive women.
What on earth is going on here?
But he also particularly admires bold and assertive women, believing they have great potential and giving them the opportunity to shine.
However, he probably felt that such women would never rely on him and would never learn to be submissive.
Because Emperor Jingzhao, or many men, prefer women who obey and depend on them in everything, which is what is commonly referred to as "respecting one's husband as one's heaven."
If one's woman is more capable than theirs, then one should rely on oneself in everything.
They would feel as if they had no place to use their talents, as if they were useless, and would lose the sense of satisfaction and superiority that comes with being a man.
Therefore, they would feel that such a woman is too strong and they cannot control her, thus blaming everything on the woman being too powerful.
But they never felt that it was because they were too incompetent that they acted this way.
Lingyan utterly despised such a man.
He felt he was a good-for-nothing and unworthy of the woman, yet he thought she was too amazing.
How shameless, incompetent, and cowardly!
However, as the ruler of a country, Emperor Jingzhao was naturally more capable than most women.
Therefore, he likes women who always go along with him, not because he is incapable, but because he likes the mentality of women depending on him.
This must have given him a great sense of satisfaction and joy.
Another reason is that as an emperor, he naturally disliked anyone who disobeyed him or went against him in everything.
So it's not so strange that he would like a woman like that.
Therefore, it was only natural that Yun Yao escaped this calamity.
The Northern Li envoy was left feeling extremely uncomfortable, as if he were sitting on pins and needles, with a thorn in his back and a fishbone stuck in his throat.
Everyone else in the main hall, including the envoys from the three kingdoms, got along very well, in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
And so, the banquet ended at the beginning of Hai hour (9-11 PM).
It's not too late yet, only around nine o'clock.
Therefore, Lingyan and the others returned to the Crown Prince's residence and resumed their wonderful exchange.
…………
As dawn breaks, a new day quietly begins in the stillness.
After finishing the morning court session, Lingyan went to the post station to find Yunyao.
Some people really do feel an instant connection upon first meeting, as if they've known each other forever.
Lingyan and the others from Xuan Yue Kingdom were all like this, as was Yun Yao, whom they had just met yesterday.
Perhaps it's because they share many of her ideas and beliefs.
Therefore, after Lingyan arrived at the post station, the other envoys all paid their respects to her.
His actions and expressions conveyed awe and fear.
Lingyan smiled but remained silent upon seeing this.
He went straight to the hall and sat down to wait for Yun Yao, ignoring them.
Seeing this, everyone wisely withdrew.
Yun Yao arrived in less than fifteen minutes.
Behind him were servants carrying many boxes of gifts.
They then gently placed the box down and respectfully withdrew.
Yun Yao then took out a stack of letters from her bosom and handed them to her, saying, "These are letters from the Empress, your aunt Prince Li, the Crown Princess Yun Shao, and your sister Xi Yan."
Lingyan took it with great eagerness and anticipation.
Then he sat down and began to read.
Seeing this, Yun Yao also walked to the side and sat down quietly to wait.
This letter is so thick, it's impossible to finish reading it in a short time.
After being a half-envoy.
Ling Yan had already finished reading the thick letter, which was as heavy as a book.
After watching it, I was filled with emotion and warmth.
Everyone in the letter showed concern for her, including all aspects of her life such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
In addition to these, she was also told not to overwork herself, as her health was the most important thing.
The letter also mentioned their recent situation, saying that they were doing well, but missed her very much.
Finally, he also told her to take good care of Yun Yao, saying that she was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and that they would definitely get along very well.
Then I wished her all the best, good health and happiness.
She sensed only deep concern and longing for her in the letters.
How could it not make her feel warm and incredibly happy!
After reading it, she smiled and looked at Yun Yao, saying, "After I return to my residence, I will write a reply and send it to you. I will also bring them some return gifts. Please help me deliver them to them."
Yun Yao replied nonchalantly, "I'd be happy to help."
Lingyan smiled after hearing this.
He then carefully folded the letters and put them in his pocket.
Only then did he get up to check the gifts.
Seeing this, Yun Yao also got up.
Then, when Lingyan happily opened the boxes, gifts carrying deep affection were displayed before her eyes.
