Chapter 343

Lengsa has participated in this similar state banquet, but she has never participated in such a simple state banquet.

Because in the past, if you attended such a banquet, there was obviously only one reason - task.

If there were no special tasks, professional agents at their level really had no reason to appear at such a party.

However, lengsa doesn't care. In her opinion, such a state banquet is no different from other banquets she has attended. It's just that the identity of the participants is higher and more complex, and there are more intrigues or games between the parties, but these can't be bothered by her.

Because the king had not yet arrived, all the guests just gathered together to talk.

In addition to some people with specific goals and objectives, most of them are still with their own people or Naga officials in charge of reception. After all, we really don't know each other.

Now, the top leaders are responsible for both diplomacy and anything else. In the past, the young marshals who used to be independent are idle, so a group of people also found a quiet place to sit and drink.

However, it is impossible for them to be really idle when they make such a grand debut.

After a while, many ladies in gorgeous dresses came to chat up.

It's not that these ladies really want to do with them, but they are also idle at the party. It's also a pleasant and proud thing to have a handsome male companion with them, isn't it?

First, they came to the banquet hall. Zhang Huizhi excitedly urged Zhang Jingzhi to play with his beautiful foreign little sister. His brother pressed his face into the sofa without expression.

He had to huddle in the sofa and mutter that Zhang Jingzhi was old-fashioned, boring and uninteresting. He deserved not to get a wife.

Carlos came over with two women in Naga clothes and said with a smile, "why don't you go and play? Is it because we don't entertain well?"

Zhang Jingzhi said with a smile, "the second prince is joking. The banquet tonight is very grand and interesting."

Carlos shrugged and said, "I heard that Anxia people are very conservative. It seems that they are right."

It's not necessarily conservative. Some banquets in China must be much more interesting than this too formal banquet. What have these young marshals never seen? They're just not interested in playing with little girls who don't know their intentions.

Zhang Jingzhi changed the subject with a smile, looked at the two women who followed Carlos and said with a smile, "I don't know who these two are?"

Carlos took one of the women in bright red embroidered robes and said with a smile, "this is my wife Asha and this is my sister Leia. Leia has also studied abroad. She is also very curious about Anxia. I heard that two beauties came to Anxia tonight, so she begged me to take her to have a look."

The girl in the light blue dress is very cute. Her deep facial features look like a pair of big eyes, especially bright and lovely. Compared with Leng SA and Zhang Huizhi, who are naturally fair skinned women, her skin color shows a light wheat skin color because of the perennial sunshine, but it does not affect her beauty and loveliness. On the contrary, there is an exotic style that Anxia women do not have.

"Leia, this is Mrs. Fu and this is Miss Zhang." Carlos introduced Princess Leia very smoothly. Obviously, he knew lengsa and Zhang Huizhi very well.

Princess Leia's Anxia language is obviously not as fluent as her brother, but she has obviously learned it. She greeted lengsa and Zhang Huizhi with a bright smile.

I'm used to seeing princesses like Xiao Nanjia. Zhang Huizhi is very fond of Princess Leia, who is cheerful and has no lack of affinity. They also responded enthusiastically. The two girls of the same age seemed to be very congenial.

As for the princess who followed Carlos, it was obvious that she did not understand Anxia language at all. Carlos introduced the people to her in Naga language in a low voice, and greeted the people with a decent smile on her face.

Among the people of Anxia, together with Fu Fengcheng, there were three or four people who knew Naga and said hello to the princess one after another.

Zhang Huizhi and Princess Leia soon got familiar, so Princess Leia took Zhang Huizhi up and played. They had intended to pull lengsa, but lengsa said she was a little tired and wanted to have a rest.

Princess Leia didn't care either. With a smile, she took Zhang Huizhi and left.

When they were far away, Long Yue asked thoughtfully, "what does Carlos mean?" worried that Zhang Huizhi and lengsa were bored, he specially asked the princess to accompany them? I don't think so.

Zhang Jingzhi said with a smile, "well... This is about the Naga royal family. Long Shao should ask Prince mu or the third prince."

Song Lang looked back at the other side of the hall. Xiao Yiran, the second prince and Xiao Nanjia were all with Prince Mu and talked to a middle-aged man who didn't know his identity.

Song Lang winked over there and asked, "who is that?"

Lou Lanzhou looked up and said, "that's Naga's finance minister and Prince Carlos's uncle, but it is rumored that his relationship with Prince Carlos is not very good recently."

Hearing the speech, song Lang touched the bridge of his straight nose and thought about something.

Fu Fengcheng looked up at Zhang Jingzhi and Lou Lanzhou. "Does Naga want to marry Anxia?"

Everyone is stunned. Marriage... In ancient times, it should be called harmony.

But the word marriage is also very common now, but it is not common to be married to the royal family.

Because the symbolic significance of the Anxia royal family is greater than reality, it is better to marry a senior official with an important official than the Anxia royal family and relatives. But the problem is that the person in charge of the highest power in Anxia changes every few years, which greatly reduces the timeliness of this marriage.

Carefully calculated, the last time the Anxia royal family made peace with other countries was decades ago.

As for a country so far away from Naga, it has never been.

People looked at Fu Fengcheng one after another. Lengsa was also curious, "is it necessary to make a peace?"

Fu Fengcheng looked at Zhang Jingzhi's way, "Naga's own opinions are obviously not very unified. The Naga weighted GUI force represented by the chancellor of the exchequer... Should want to marry the Anxia royal family, while the Naga royal family... Would prefer to marry the real power faction, such as... Zhang Shao or Lou Shao?"

It is rare for Fu Da Shao to say such a long sentence in one breath, and the content is even more amazing.

Others looked at the two protagonists named by Fu Fengcheng. Lou Lanzhou quickly got rid of the relationship, "Fu Shao, don't talk nonsense. My grandfather will never agree with me to marry a foreign girl. The old people are more conservative when they are old, and our Lou family doesn't mean that."

Then it can only be Zhangjia.

"Brother Zhang?" Song Lang looked at Zhang Jingzhi with a smile, his face full of ridicule.

Zhang Jingzhi was very calm, and his Phnom Penh glasses made him calm and almost sharp.

Holding the glasses, Zhang Jingzhi said with a smile, "Fu Shao is joking. It's always a royal tradition to have a friendly marriage. Where can we worry about ordinary people?" Zhang Jia was not interested in the princess of Naga.

Zhangjia really needs the support of powerful people, but it is not Naga thousands of miles away.

On the contrary, if the heir of Zhangjia marries a foreign princess, it will shake the status of Zhangjia.

"Tut, I think the little princess is pretty and lovely. Brother Zhang is too ruthless." Song Lang sighed and Zhang Jingzhi smiled. "I can't afford it, otherwise... Brother song, please?"

Song Lang touched his nose and stopped talking. Others were not interested in teasing Zhang Jingzhi. Long Yue frowned, "Naga and Anxia are thousands of miles away. What's the meaning of making peace? Is Princess Leia Carlos's sister? What's the benefit of marrying the future crown prince, even the king's sister, to Naga?"

They were also puzzled that whoever Princess Leia married Anxia would not be good for Naga in the short term. In terms of trade, the two countries are interdependent. There is no need to sacrifice a princess to make peace. If it's not for short-term interests, it's for long-term interests?

Fu Fengcheng leaned against the sofa, drooped his eyes and thought for a while before he said faintly, "God bless the island."

Dragon Yue frowned and said, "brother Fu said that Naga people want to use peace as the basis for negotiations with Anxia? To reap benefits from God bless island?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "it's not impossible. Even if it's not for God's protection of the island, it should have something to do with this."

"For example?"

Fu Fengcheng rubbed his eyebrows and said, "what kind of person do you think Carlos is?"

Dragon Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at others and said, "ambitious people."

Fu Fengcheng said, "when he was in school, he once gave a speech on how to build a powerful empire around based on the island. At that time, he was only in grade one. People in school didn't know his identity, and many people laughed at his whimsical." lengsa blinked, "have you heard?"

Fu Fengcheng nodded and said, "yes, I remember. And... I think if Naga's shipbuilding industry is more developed, this idea is very feasible. If I were Carlos, I would do the same."

"We......" Long Yue was about to say something when he saw Prince Mu coming with Xiao Yiran's three brothers and sisters. Dragon Yue calmly swallowed half his words and the wine in the cup into his throat, "talk later."

"Prince." Prince Mu came and everyone got up. Prince Mu himself was a very kind man. I am familiar with all the elders here. I am naturally like a nephew to the young marshals.

He smiled and waved to them to sit casually. He glanced at Zhang Jingzhi and said with a smile, "where is Miss Hui?"

Zhang Jing said, "I went there to play with Princess Leia of Naga."

Prince Mu nodded and said with a smile, "sure enough, these young girls can play together. Nanjia, go and see Miss Hui Zhi and Princess Leia. Mrs. Fu Shao?" he looked at lengsa interrogatively.

Lengsa smiled at him, "I just drank some wine and felt a little dizzy, so I won't go with Princess Chaoyang."

Princess Chaoyang looked at the crowd, her eyes stayed on Fu Fengcheng for a moment, snorted and whispered, "I don't want to go either."

Prince Mu shook his head reluctantly. Obviously, he was used to Xiao Nanjia's willfulness.

He still had something to do and didn't have time to dally with the these young people. He reached out and patted Xiao Yiran on shoulder, motioned him to look at Xiao Nanjia, and then said to everyone and turned away.

"Second prince, Third Prince, please sit down."

Xiao Yiran knew these people very well and sat down in the empty seat next to Loulan boat.

In contrast, the second prince seemed alienated. He thanked song Lang before he sat down in the empty seat on the other side. In this way, there is no room for Xiao Nanjia.

Shen Sinian hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and said with a smile, "princess, sit here?"

Xiao Nanjia looked at the crowd. Except Shen Sinian, obviously no one cared whether she sat or not.

Her face was a little gloomy, she bit her teeth and didn't speak until Xiao Yiran handed her a warning look. Xiao Nanjia snorted and turned around and left with high heels.

The second prince, who had just settled down, was a little embarrassed. After hesitating, he stood up and apologized to the people, and then chased after him.

The atmosphere in the originally peaceful corner was a little awkward for a time.

Xiao Yiran smiled apologetically at Shen Sinian. She wanted to crush Xiao Nanjia to death.

The Shen family is not as good as the three families of Fu Longsong, but even if they are not as good as others, they are also powerful. How can you be so confident to throw face at others, a princess who has nothing but a name?

That is, Shen Sinian is interested in you and is willing to let you. If song Lang had changed his temper, he might have kicked it long ago.

Besides, Xiao Yiran can see that Shen Sinian has not been so enthusiastic about Xiao Nanjia since the marriage between Xiao Nanjia and sun Rui began. After all, Shen Sinian, who can become the heir of the Shen family, is not a simple licking dog. You know you are not interested in yourself, and you have to be engaged to others. What's wrong with you?

Unfortunately, Xiao Nanjia has big eyes, but she can't see the situation clearly at all.

"Third prince, the Naga royal family wants to marry the princess to you?" Song Lang asked curiously.

Xiao Yiran's smile stiffened, and she coughed and said, "this... No, Naga people don't see me."

Song Lang raised his eyebrows with great interest. Lengsa had a little eyebrows, "is it the second prince?"

It's impossible to say that Naga people don't like Xiao Yiran. Naga people can't know that Xiao Yiran is the de facto crown prince, so Xiao Yiran doesn't want to marry Princess Naga.

Also, the cost performance of marriage is too low these days.

If it is Moro or Dayin close to Anxia, even some small countries around it can say that Naga is a little too far away. Of course, it is not a good choice for the royal family to make peace with princesses of other countries, whether they want to stay stable or restore their old glory.

Local supervisors and even the cabinet will naturally be hostile to the princess as the royal family wants to introduce external forces to provoke them.

Dragon Yue said, "I remember the second Prince getting married?"

Lou Lanzhou nodded, "yes, but it's not a problem."

It's not that you can't divorce these days. Now the crown princess is not a promising career. The compensation can still be solved in place.

In addition, although the royal family now also advocates monogamy, it has not completely abolished the wife and concubine system. It is just that it is impossible to obtain a certificate except for the regular wife, but it is still possible as long as it is recognized by the royal family.

Xiao Yiran was a little helpless. "Can you not discuss so far ahead? It's all a matter without influence. Just now I mentioned it to Uncle mu. How did you know so soon?"

Xiao Yiran looked at the crowd suspiciously, wondering who had such a good news?

Other people betrayed Fu Fengcheng impolitely, and the third prince's eyes immediately flashed, "Fu Da, do you have any information in Naga? Do you know what they plan to do? Everyone is their own people, so please provide some information."

Fu Fengcheng gave him a cold look, "you think too much, I said casually."

"..." do you say you look like a talker?

Lou Lanzhou glanced at Zhang Huizhi, who was laughing with Princess Leia in the distance, and said, "anyway... At least, Naga has differences?"

Otherwise, it would not appear. The powerful party tried to be nice to the Anxia royal family, but the second prince directly passed them and introduced Princess Leia to Zhang Huizhi.

Obviously, Naga values Zhang Jingzhi more than the royal family.

Of course, if Fu Fengcheng is not married, it is possible to choose Fu Fengcheng.

Xiao Yiran lowered her voice and said, "Naga has not been peaceful in the past two years, and the dignitaries are dissatisfied with the king's sole power. King Naga is not a tough man, and the king's brother's rebellion at the beginning of last year has shaken his authority. If it were not for the pressure of Carlos, the five nation talks might have to be postponed."

Lou Lanzhou raised her eyebrows and said, "the Naga royal family wants to win over the people in power in Anxia. If necessary, it can be their help, even if it is only symbolic. The Naga dignitaries hope to marry the princess to the royal family, so..."

The Anxia royal family can't help Naga. It can also eliminate a marriage chip for the royal family and give a good hint to the Naga royal family.

Do you think the Anxia royal family has no power and power, and is not living well?

Of course, this can't be said in front of the third prince.

The Dragon Yue picked his eyebrows and looked at Fu Fengcheng, "which side do you bet?"

Fu Fengcheng looked up at him, "Carlos."

Long Yue didn't care. He nodded and said, "OK, that's Carlos." when he turned to see the others, song Lang lazily shook the wine glass in his hand, "follow."

Zhang Jingzhi and Lou Lanzhou looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Yue Li and Shen Sinian looked at each other and shrugged to show that you played too high-end. We don't understand. Just go with the crowd and decide.

Xiao Yi sighed and drank up the wine in the glass. "I asked Uncle Mu to drag the Naga. Are you sure Carlos can win?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "70% possible."

Xiao Yiran nodded, "let's go!" there is no future in talking to the losers. The current situation in Anxia does not allow them to intervene in the disputes of other countries, so they can only choose the winning party to bet.

While they were talking, the saluter loudly announced the arrival of his Majesty the king.

The people who had gathered together to speak stood up one after another to show their respect for the king.

King Naga did look like a rather friendly man with no airs. He came in surrounded by the attendants in a gorgeous dress and didn't forget to greet the guests all the way.

The king walked all the way to the front of the banquet hall, gave a welcome speech with a smile on his face, raised a glass to drink with the guests, and then announced the official start of the banquet.

The band played the music again, and the banquet hall, which had just become a little solemn because of the king's arrival, became happy and peaceful again.
