Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 393.2

When Le Cheng Emperor learned of this matter, he naturally didn't have a good face.

Luo Pei Shan rather perceptively stood out, volunteering to go handle. Receiving the various countries' envoys was also the Ministry of Rites' matter to begin with.

And during this period, Li Hong Ming went to Jin Qinwang Manor. Because they'd already reconciled, Li Hong Yuan naturally didn't have him blocked outside the gates. However, even so, it didn't mean that Li Hong Yuan liked him. Knowing his purpose in coming to Jin Qinwang Manor, he just directly let someone have him taken to go see He Shi Hai.

Li Hong Ming's expression on his face somewhat changed, but didn't say anything either. Li Hong Yuan may not want to see him, but he didn't necessary want to see Li Hong Yuan either. However, this in the end was two separate matters. The other party not meeting with him meant that Li Hong Yuan was not giving him face, but this kind of thing, he really had no way of arguing.

When Li Hong Ming saw He Shi Hai, He Shi Hai was getting ganged up and beaten by the people of Jin Qinwang Manor. The ordinary guards of Jin Qinwang Manor were also considered well trained, and moreover, Li Hong Yuan had ordered He Shi Hai to not retaliate. If he were to injure the guards of Jin Qinwang Manor, then in the future, don't come to Jin Qinwang Manor ever again. This for He Shi Hai was a true and honest threat. That's why, this while, he was pitifully getting ganged up and beaten.

Li Hong Ming was shocked, “This, what's going on?”

An Yi stood to the side, his face expressionless, “Replying to wangye, our master said, even though Gentleman He had fought the other party, the other party was still able to properly stand, thus it can be seen, Gentleman He's fists are just like cotton balls, so need to properly train. And to want to beat up someone, one must first take a beating.”

Li Hong Ming couldn't help but tug the corner of his mouth. To be able to pull out twisted logic from the mouth, and even unconditionally implement what was said, aside from Li Hong Yuan, there was no one else. Thinking back to that Former Wei fifth prince's miserable appearance, that can even be called 'properly standing'? Could it be that only when one was unable to crawl up, unable to move, can it be called 'not good'?

However, he had no way of interfering. “Since Gentleman He is currently training, then this prince won't disturb him.” If he was able to have the person taken away, then he probably wouldn't have needed to come in. “The servants of the He family, at the time, were also present, so towards the previous matter's whole story, they should also be clear about. This prince will ask them.”

“Those people were quite injured, so currently getting treated, afraid will have to ask wangye to change locations.”

“No matter, lead the way.” Since the words were already said as such, could Li Hong Ming still put on airs and say no? Although he was quite displeased inside.

Actually, this matter was quite simple. The cause, the process, the outcome, all added together, was also just a matter of a few words. There weren't any sinister schemes, no ups and downs.

Li Hong Ming had also heard Former Wei's version of the story, and comparing the two, Li Hong Ming didn't know what kind of expression to make. In his eyes, it was just He Shi Hai picking a fight. Merely an ordinary commoner, even if humiliated, so what? But, since this has escalated into a diplomatic problem between two countries, then without a doubt, he must firmly hold the standpoint of 'how can Qi Yuan's citizens be easily insulted', and absolutely cannot change this.

Thus, on the surface, he was exceptionally solemn, “This matter, this prince will report to imperial father in detail, so as to let the people of Former Wei know, Qi Yuan cannot be insulted.”

Alright, with one line, he just had the matter escalate from the face of an ordinary commoner to the entire Qi Yuan's face. That's why, people like Li Hong Ming really were something.

Regardless of how fake these words were, as someone of Qi Yuan, one still needs to firmly hold this standpoint together, and Qi Yuan will no longer falter.

Li Hong Ming left Jin Qinwang Manor, his dislike towards He Shi Hai ascending to a new height. Picking a fight for no reason, specifically looking to stir up trouble, things were already very busy to begin with…………

When Li Hong Ming entered the palace, Luo Pei Shan had already left.

Luo Pei Shan didn't go to argue with Princess Yi Ning either. He was man, a subject, while the other party was a woman, a princess of another country. In terms of etiquette, one must not make a mistake no matter what.

Whoever was the main person in charge on Former Wei's side will naturally just be the one he will look for.

When the Former Wei first prince learned that a Head Minister of Qi Yuan came over, he naturally knew that he can't casually slight, quickly inviting the person in.

Luo Pei Shan very much had an elegant bearing, even carrying a bit of an immortal air, treating the Former Wei first prince with the respect that one should have in treating another country's prince, also vaguely carrying a bit of care that an elder had towards someone of the younger generation.

Under normal circumstances, for a person in power, towards someone of a lower status putting on the airs of an elder, regardless whether the other party was relying on old age to flaunt, or just purely showing concern, all would feel disgusted. Their thoughts were just one: 'Who the hell are you, to dare display this kind of attitude!'

However, Luo Pei Shan right now didn't make one dislike in the slightest, instead it was like bathing in the spring breeze. When the Former Wei first prince realized this bit, he'd already been happily chatting with Luo Pei Shan for a while, and naturally just became alerted inside. In reality, there wasn't any use, because Luo Pei Shan wasn't really prying into anything, merely just casually chatting, that's all.

Once the foundation was laid, it was just entering the main topic.

“Great Wei and Qi Yuan have the same traditions, and Great Wei has always considered oneself to be the most orthodox. In this aspect, Qi Yuan is actually somewhat lacking……………..”

Hearing Luo Pei Shan say this, the Former Wei first prince naturally felt a bit proud, even modestly replying. For instance, saying something like, at the time, many things had all gotten taken away, especially the various books, and Qi Yuan didn't appear until much later, so for there to be gaps in certain things, it was also understandable.

Although it was said like this, if one were to truly argue, then it was just a joke. The Wei Emperor at the time, along with his subjects, had hastily fled the capital city, so the things they took with them naturally would be limited. Things such as gold and silver were more practical. Besides, even if taking away many books, for a country that big, what did that bit of books in the capital city count as? If this was all able to sever certain traditions, then that would truly be funny.

Luo Pei Shan carried a smile on his face, neither vexed nor angry, even agreeing somewhat, and afterwards, very naturally just turned onto the subject of the etiquette between man and woman. After several hundred years of change, Qi Yuan in the end wasn't that strict towards women, unable to compare with Former Wei. Even if this time Princess Yi Ning set out along with them, presumably it's also a rare exception. The various matters this time certainly must be because Princess Yi Ning was extremely pampered, and Great Wei's Emperor and Empress both couldn't bear to be harsh towards her. Pity the hearts of the parents in the world, everyone all knows and understand. As long as on important matters, it won't cause problems, it was fine. It was just spoiling a person, that's all, small matter.

The Former Wei first prince's expression this while was a bit stiff. That's why, everything was all waiting for him here? He should've long known, how could he have been blinded by pride?

On the surface, it was saying Former Wei was good everywhere, but in reality, it was nothing more than mocking them for saying one thing, but doing another. To be able to casually take a princess out of the country, in terms of etiquette between man and woman, who knows what the hell it was like. Since the Emperor and Empress were able to limitlessly spoil a princess, then did it mean that they can also commit muddled acts without principle?

The Former Wei first prince mind immediately spun and was just about to open his mouth to 'retort', but Luo Pei Shan this while still wasn't finished.

Former Wei was a country of etiquette and very much emphasized on the ancient etiquettes, to inform of one's coming. This time to have not informed Qi Yuan that Princess Yi Ning was accompanying along, not informing how many people were brought along, presumably must be because of being overly busy, momentarily forgetting. However, it isn't that big of a deal. Occasionally for something things to not be thorough, everyone all understand. Having not prepared a place for Princess Yi Ning, speaking of which, was also their fault, “…………..That's why, for the sake of expressing our apologies, Qi Yuan is willing to arrange another place for Princess Yi Ning. It's also within the borders of the inn, just it's on the side closer to the palace. From the perspective of the entire inn, perhaps it's a little remote, but the scenery inside is even more charming. Additionally, being closer to the imperial palace, in terms of security, one further doesn't need to worry, and it's also more convenient to come and go. Right now, it may not seem like anything, but in a few days, when the other countries' emissaries arrive, the one residing next to Great Wei usually won't have womenfolk. Since Great Wei pays attention to these things, letting the princess avoid a little should be better. After all, we can't forbid the princess from going out, no? And the other emissaries, all came for my Emperor's birthday celebration, and even more so for the sake of the friendship between two countries, so further can't forbid from going out, right?”

Luo Pei Shan spoke neither quickly nor slowly, having everything spread out, openly praising and secretly mocking. However, he has already shouldered the responsibility for your 'negligence', and further considered for your princess's reputation, so if you still don't go down along the ladder he built, then he will have to express his doubts towards certain doctrines of yours. And without a doubt, this was just slapping one's own face.

The Former Wei first prince was actually speechless. At first, it was wanting to cause trouble and nitpick, but in the end, it was instead having oneself thrown down a pit?

“Your words are correct. Previously, it was indeed this prince not being thorough in one's consideration, and now even needing to trouble minister, asking for minister to please forgive.” Since things have come to this step, it was better to just bluntly acknowledge. After all, to firmly refuse no matter what, the one to lose face won't be Qi Yuan, but rather Great Wei. As he person in charge, after going back, he will be the first to suffer the consequences.

“Humans are not saints, so who can have no faults? Moreover, first prince has very little experience, so overlooking a little is also understandable.”
