720 Partic.i.p.ating in the Banquet
King Liang’s att.i.tude immediately changed completely. “Lord Ning Caichen, I solemnly invite you to partic.i.p.ate in the banquet as an honored guest of the Daliang Kingdom.”
He said earnestly, “It was me who offended you just now. I hope you won’t blame me. I am willing to apologize and give you whatever you want.”
King Liang had already understood.
The people around Ning Caichen were all important figures, and he could not offend them.
If he were to do something wrong, he would be the one suffering.
Jiang Ming was a little surprised to see King Liang’s att.i.tude change so quickly.
He did not expect the princess to be so useful. King Liang had changed his att.i.tude so much.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming did not make things difficult for King Liang. He said directly, “Then let’s go to the banquet. I hope that you won’t change your att.i.tude. It’ll be fine as long as it stays like this.”
“Lord Ning Caichen, don’t worry. My att.i.tude will never change. As long as you come, you will be a distinguished guest of the Daliang Kingdom.”
King Liang promised him.
When the banquet was about to start, everyone began to wait.
However, they did not wait for the envoy to appear.
“Prince Qiqihar and his subordinates pay their respects to His Majesty.”
His voice had already entered everyone’s ears before he arrived.
Everyone looked around, wanting to know where the foreign envoy was.
When King Liang heard the name of this envoy, he could not help but feel odd.
Why did the Qiqihar Kingdom send their prince to the banquet?
During all his previous negotiations with the Qiqihar Kingdom, they had never allowed his prince to come. Why did things change now?
Moreover, they had even sent their most precious prince to meet them.
It was said that only the royal family knew the prince’s real name. Even the ministers of the various countries did not know his name. It was enough to show how much the Qiqihar Kingdom valued their prince.
When Liang Sisi heard his voice, she was a little happy.
She was very curious about this prince of the Qiqihar Kingdom. Now, she finally had the chance to meet him.
Seeing that no one had appeared for a long time, the ministers began to discuss among themselves.
“Why is this envoy from the Qiqihar Kingdom only speaking and not showing his face? How is the Daliang Kingdom going to speak to this envoy?”
One of the ministers whispered to another minister sitting next to him.
The other minister replied, “Right? Isn’t this envoy from the Qiqihar Kingdom too disrespectful to the Daliang Kingdom? I’ve never seen this envoy from the Qiqihar Kingdom act like this before.”
Another minister followed up, “To be honest, although the envoy from the Qiqihar Kingdom was very disrespectful to the Daliang Kingdom, he only brought two people along. Usually, he brings three.”
“It’s strange this time. There are actually three envoys from the Qiqihar Kingdom.”
Jiang Ming listened to them and felt a little confused. He could not help but complain.
What did these ministers want? Why did it matter whether there were two people or three?
Zhu Asi wanted to laugh as he listened, but he held himself back.
This was the first time he heard that the number of envoys sent by a country was actually an issue.
The people of the Zhuyan Palace would never come with this few people by their side.
The Qiqihar Kingdom was considered a pretty good kingdom. Why would they only send out so few people?
It was so strange! Why were they acting poor in front of another kingdom?
Liang Sisi also heard the conversation between the ministers and could not help but smile.
This was the tradition of the envoys of the Qiqihar Kingdom. Unfortunately, the Qiqihar Kingdom liked to be mysterious, so they would not tell others about this.
It was only because she had accidentally overheard the conversation between her father and King Qiqihar that she knew about this strange tradition.
Although she was confused as to why the Qiqihar Kingdom had such a strange tradition, she still chose to respect it.
At the same time, Prince Qiqihar put his hands behind his back and walked in slowly.
The head eunuch then called out, “The envoy of the Qiqihar Kingdom has arrived!”
King Liang immediately sat up straight. His eyes were shining.
Prince Qiqihar finally appeared before him.
Prince Qiqihar was wearing purple robes and a white jade crown on his head. He had delicate features and a serious and focused expression.
His eyes were very bright. Those who did not know better would think that he was a heartbreaker.
This was Liang Sisi’s first time seeing Prince Qiqihar, and she could not help but carefully size up the person in front of her.
She had been to the Qiqihar Kingdom once before, but she did not see Prince Qiqihar. She had always regretted it. Now, she could finally see him.
Prince Qiqihar looked at the people in the seats and could not help but feel better.
His trip to the Daliang Kingdom was indeed worth it.
All kinds of people were present at this banquet.
What piqued his curiosity the most was Jiang Ming, who was sitting on the right.
He had an indescribable desire to get to know him.
However, since he was at the banquet now, he could not go over and chat with him so suddenly.
After thinking for a moment, Prince Qiqihar came up with an idea.
Later, he would call Jiang Ming out and chat with him.
“Lord Qiqihar, please sit down. The journey must have been hard on you.”
King Liang made casual conversation and raised his hand to signal Prince Qiqihar to take a seat.
He had originally wanted to address him as the prince, but after some thought, he knew that the Qiqihar Kingdom did not want his ident.i.ty known, so he changed his address.
“Your Majesty, may I get to know some of the people at this banquet? As an envoy, I’m very curious.”
Prince Qiqihar could not wait to get to know Jiang Ming. He stared straight at him.
Jiang Ming felt his pa.s.sionate gaze and could not help but look at him curiously.
When he saw this, he happened to meet Prince Qiqihar’s gaze.
Jiang Ming noticed the meaning in his gaze.
King Liang also noticed Prince Qiqihar’s gaze and could not help but be surprised by Jiang Ming’s influence. He immediately raised his hand in Jiang Ming’s direction. “This is Lord Ning Caichen, a doctor with superb medical skills and an honored guest of the Daliang Kingdom.”
With just these words Jiang Ming’s status in the Daliang Kingdom was solidified.
