304 Untitled (1/2)

The Second Prince smiled bitterly and dismounted, then dragged a black-faced Tenth Princess off her horse. On the other side, Zhangsun Wuji had dismounted as well, then pulled Meng Fuyao off her horse as well.

Upon touching the ground, King Meng squatted down and started wailing, ”My legs are swollen from running, they've already gone numb, I can't stand up, aiyo…”

Meng Fuyao rubbed her legs and raised her head to look at an official who looked extremely sheepish. Sighing, she said, ”You, Xuanji, must cure this…”

She shook her head, and everyone present rolled their eyes and face-palmed.

However, King Meng wasn't done. She sighed again and continued, ”The people of Xuanji have questionable morals…”

Everyone's faces fell as she pouted without continuing her sentence. However, her expression was even more tortuous than listening to her.

King Meng seemed to be oblivious to other people's feelings as she continued to be engrossed in her monologue, ”You…”

The Second Prince suddenly interrupted and said, ”Since King Meng is unable to walk, then please return to your horse.”

Meng Fuyao seemed not to have heard him as she continued, ”… King Meng has been chased by murderers and robbed, I am currently in post-trauma stress, and both of my legs have gone soft. I'll have to apologize for my lack of respect, I'll be squatting here, if it doesn't obstruct you, you guys go ahead, go ahead.”

All of the Xuanji officials looked up at the sky in disbelief…

'With you like this, how are we to continue?'

Only the honorable and calm Crown Prince Zhangsun seemed not to mind at all, pulling the Second Prince and Tenth Princess along as they completed the ceremonial greeting, completely apathetic to King Meng who was still squatting on the ground. However, the Tenth Princess had not managed to reach Zhangsun Wuji's level of apathy, and after every few sentences, she would glance at Meng Fuyao uncomfortably.

If Meng Fuyao simply squatted there and kept quiet, it would have been easier, but even when squatting, she refused to remain quiet. She suddenly raised her head to face Xuanji's Prime Minister and said a few lines.

Her mouth was moving, yet no sound came out. The Prime Minister couldn't hear her clearly and glanced at her questioningly. Meng Fuyao ”said” a few lines again, and the Prime Minister could not stand it any longer, hurrying towards her and bowing slightly as he asked, ”Dare I ask what requests the King of Han has?”

However, Meng Fuyao cupped her hands around her ears and said loudly, ”Ah? What are you saying? Ah? I can't hear you.”

The Prime Minister's mouth twitched again as he bent down a notch lower and repeated his words in a louder volume, but Meng Fuyao still tilted her head and asked, ”Ah?”

All the officials looked sympathetically at their Prime Minister, who was by now nearly kissing the floor, recalling that he seemed to have a back problem? Tsk tsk, they had heard that whoever offended King Meng would receive tenfold in revenge, and the higher the position, the more she liked to go against them, sigh… The Prime Minister's role was indeed not something anyone could take on.

”I'll say, your position is way too prestigious,” Meng Fuyao finally said after ”listening” for half a day. She raised her head and smiled. ”However, I'm a guest, so how could you look down on me while speaking? Is Xuanji used to speaking down to diplomats coming to discuss international affairs?”

Such a heavy accusation seemed too much for the Prime Minister to bear.

Hence, under the stares of everyone around, the number one most respected Prime Minister of Xuanji grimaced and squatted down carefully and faced Meng Fuyao, waiting for her to speak.

The two of them squatted facing each other, extremely quiet.

Half an hour passed by as the two of them stared at each other in silence.

Meng Fuyao: ”…”

Prime Minister: ”…”

After staring at each other for a long time, the Prime Minister couldn't stand it any longer and asked, ”Does King Meng have anything to say to me?”

”Ah?” Meng Fuyao stared at him, ”Didn't you come here to speak on your own accord? Why aren't you speaking anymore?”

The Prime Minister's face flushed red as he explained, ”King Meng, you were the one who wanted to tell me something, that's why I…”

”Did I?” Meng Fuyao looked surprised and innocently raised her hands in front of her, ”I didn't make a single sound, since when did I speak to you?”

Thud.

Xuanji's treasured Prime Minister… fainted.

After standing under the sun for half a day, bending his back and squatting for half a day, then getting embarrassed so viciously, the Prime Minister couldn't stand it anymore.

Anyone who was human wouldn't be able to stand it.

The Xuanji officials rushed over and immediately carried the Prime Minister away, not daring to stay in front of Meng Fuyao a second longer. They were deathly afraid of her opening her mouth and making them squat with her.

However, Meng Fuyao casually stood up and glanced in the direction where the Prime Minister was being carried away and said regretfully, ”Aiya, I wanted to have a good conversation with the Prime Minister, if the conversation went well, I would have written off everything that we have suffered on the way here out of goodwill, but now it seems… Tsk tsk, there's no sincerity at all.”

The Xuanji officials collapsed for the third time…

However, Meng Fuyao simply shook her head ignorantly and returned to her horse. Suddenly, her legs were no longer aching, her neck no longer sore, and even her movements became swift and light. When she was still several meters away from her horse, she gracefully leaped onto it, even giving a beautiful pose in midair. When the Xuanji officials saw it, their faces darkened.

The fourth blow…
