Chapter 393.2: A Fairly Unexpected Outcome

When Le Cheng Emperor learned of this matter, he naturally didnt 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 Qinw.a.n.g Manor. Because theyd already reconciled, Li Hong Yuan naturally didnt have him blocked outside the gates. However, even so, it didnt mean that Li Hong Yuan liked him. Knowing his purpose in coming to Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor, he just directly let someone have him taken to go see He s.h.i.+ Hai.

Li Hong Mings expression on his face somewhat changed, but didnt say anything either. Li Hong Yuan may not want to see him, but he didnt 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 s.h.i.+ Hai, He s.h.i.+ Hai was getting ganged up and beaten by the people of Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor. The ordinary guards of Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor were also considered well trained, and moreover, Li Hong Yuan had ordered He s.h.i.+ Hai to not retaliate. If he were to injure the guards of Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor, then in the future, dont come to Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor ever again. This for He s.h.i.+ Hai was a true and honest threat. Thats why, this while, he was pitifully getting ganged up and beaten.

Li Hong Ming was shocked, This, whats going on?

An Yi stood to the side, his face expressionless, Replying to w.a.n.gye, 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 Hes fists are just like cotton b.a.l.l.s, so need to properly train. And to want to beat up someone, one must first take a beating.

Li Hong Ming couldnt 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 princes 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 wont disturb him. If he was able to have the person taken away, then he probably wouldnt have needed to come in. The servants of the He family, at the time, were also present, so towards the previous matters 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 w.a.n.gye 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 werent any sinister schemes, no ups and downs.

Li Hong Ming had also heard Former Weis version of the story, and comparing the two, Li Hong Ming didnt know what kind of expression to make. In his eyes, it was just He s.h.i.+ 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 Yuans 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 Yuans face. Thats 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 Qinw.a.n.g Manor, his dislike towards He s.h.i.+ 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 didnt 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 Weis 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 cant 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 countrys prince, also vaguely carrying a bit of care that an elder had towards someone of the younger generation.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, 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 h.e.l.l are you, to dare display this kind of att.i.tude!

However, Luo Pei Shan right now didnt make one dislike in the slightest, instead it was like bathing in the spring breeze. When the Former Wei first prince realized this bit, hed already been happily chatting with Luo Pei Shan for a while, and naturally just became alerted inside. In reality, there wasnt any use, because Luo Pei Shan wasnt really prying into anything, merely just casually chatting, thats 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 didnt 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 wasnt that strict towards women, unable to compare with Former Wei. Even if this time Princess Yi Ning set out along with them, presumably its also a rare exception. The various matters this time certainly must be because Princess Yi Ning was extremely pampered, and Great Weis Emperor and Empress both couldnt 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 wont cause problems, it was fine. It was just spoiling a person, thats all, small matter.

The Former Wei first princes expression this while was a bit stiff. Thats why, everything was all waiting for him here? He shouldve 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 h.e.l.l 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 wasnt finished.

Former Wei was a country of etiquette and very much emphasized on the ancient etiquettes, to inform of ones 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 isnt 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, ..Thats why, for the sake of expressing our apologies, Qi Yuan is willing to arrange another place for Princess Yi Ning. Its also within the borders of the inn, just its on the side closer to the palace. From the perspective of the entire inn, perhaps its a little remote, but the scenery inside is even more charming. Additionally, being closer to the imperial palace, in terms of security, one further doesnt need to worry, and its 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 wont have womenfolk. Since Great Wei pays attention to these things, letting the princess avoid a little should be better. After all, we cant forbid the princess from going out, no? And the other emissaries, all came for my Emperors birthday celebration, and even more so for the sake of the friends.h.i.+p between two countries, so further cant 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 princesss reputation, so if you still dont 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 ones 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 ones 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 wont 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.
