C113 (1/2)
As they chatted, even without Jin Chuyi's voice, the ministers had already begun urging them to drink. Even though Sima Hong and Liu Yuanheng had two people, they were all drunk to the point where they even had shadows of their own.
Seeing Sima Hong in such a state, Yu Fei was afraid that the alcohol would mislead his, and worry filled his delicate face.
They had agreed upon this afternoon, and Sima Hong was almost drunk on the spot. How could Yu Fei not be anxious when she couldn't even utter a word.
Unfortunately, even Sima Hong was not able to clearly see what she meant.
”Yufei, are your eyes unwell?”
During the banquet, Jin Chuyi's gaze never forgot to look at Zhuang Fei twice, so it was hard to avoid seeing her winking at him. He had long known about her meeting with Sima Hong in the afternoon and knew that the things they had discussed could not be left without those few things, so Jin Chuyi did not mind.
As long as she did not speak of the matter openly, he would naturally choose to turn a blind eye.
”Chenqie!”
”If you are not feeling well, I will allow you to go down and rest.”
”Your Majesty!”
She should have known earlier that this Sima Hong didn't really want to help his, it was just that she wasn't willing to give up. And now, Jin Chuyi's tone was cold and hard, his attitude was extremely obvious, he was afraid that he would not give his another chance to speak.
Jin Chuao tightened his grip on the wine cup in his hand. Even though he knew that the chances of matriarch becoming the empress was very small, if he were to see any other woman becoming the empress, he would still feel extremely displeased.
Just as he was about to get up, he heard a familiar voice.
”What?” ”Your majesty, are you saying that my sister's eyes aren't good enough?”
Sima Hong stood up while holding the cup of wine, and then walked in Jin Chuyi's direction.
Du Decai wanted to shout for people to stop him, but he was stopped by Jin Chuyi. This was his North Jin's territory, these people should know, if they dared to harm him, none of them could leave this place alive.
Jin Chuyi squinted as he looked at Sima Hong's swaying figure standing in front of the steps.
”Your Majesty, you don't know, that in the past, my Easternum had married the most beautiful woman in the entire North Jin. You do not know, that the men of my Easternum cried for three days and three nights, until they nearly drowned the entire country. I can guarantee that there won't be any problems with my sister's eyes. ”
Sima Hong's words had undoubtedly placed Yu Fei in front of everyone. Just looking at Imperial Concubine Yu would be considered beautiful, but compared to Zhuang Fei who was sitting beside her, she instantly felt dull and tasteless.
Jin Chupei just sat at the side and drank some wine. When he thought about how he should have been sitting in the great hall and walking together with the royal father, it should have been his own Queen Mother, but now he had become a different woman.
Now that Sima Hong said this, Jin Chupei also shifted his gaze over. This Sima Hong really dared to say it. He didn't know if he wanted to say how good Jade Concubine was, or if he wanted to say whether there was no Beautiful for him.
Not to mention Yu Fei, even Zhuang Fei did not seem to be comparable to Sun Jinzi at all. Zhuang Fei looked extremely elegant and refined, but Jin Chupei felt that this person had just entered into a new world. He was even deeper than Yu Fei and was much scarier than her.
”Is that so? Then I am truly thankful to Easternum for marrying you like this into my North Jin as my concubine. ”
His gaze swept across Yu Fei's face, and when he looked at Sima Hong, there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
The ministers of the civil and military officials also chuckled softly.
Yu Fei's face alternated between green and white, she looked really good. She really doubted whether this Sima Hong had come to help her or to harm her.
”That's only natural. First of all, regardless of how I look, I still have the status of a princess and my status is very high. I am not someone that an ordinary woman can compare with.”
Sima Hong glanced at Zhuang Fei who was sitting next to Yu Fei with disdain. Only Jin Chuyi would fancy such a weak and delicate girl.
Zhuang Fei's eyes had obviously become sparkling and translucent, and when Jin Chuyi saw this, he knew why she was worried. When he looked at Sima Hong again, his eyes were filled with ferocity.
”Enough, do you really think that our great hall is the territory of your Easternum?”
When he said those words, Sima Hong instantly went into a battle with him. The fury of the Emperor was not something a little duke like him could withstand. Even if Sima Hong knew, Jin Chuyi would not be able to do anything to him. But he himself had no confidence at all.
”Hmph.”
Sima Hong let out a cold snort, and stood in the great hall as well, wanting to preserve the only dignity he had.
Looking at this battle, Jin Chuao knew that both sides could not afford to offend the Easternum, and in the future, he might even need to use this Easternum.
”royal father, Uncle doesn't mean that either. Moreover, today is a day of great joy, there is no need to hurt the peace between the two countries. ”
He knew that the royal father was old now, and he did not want more wars to break out. Regardless of whether the matriarch could become the Queen or not, he had to sit on this Dragon Throne in the future, and no one could stop him.
Jin Chuyi's expression had indeed eased up a bit. He couldn't bear to see Zhuang Fei suffer any grievances, and he had promised her that he wouldn't break his promise.
