Chapter 291 Welcome Banquet
Yanling rested for another day, and early the next morning, General Xuan put the Kang family and his entourage into a prison car and set off back to Beijing.
The people cheered the whole way, and along the way they kept throwing rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs prepared in advance at the prison car, especially Kang Yueqing, Kangfu and Kang Zixu, who were so embarrassed that they were hit one by one.
Kang Yueqing had a glorious life, but had he ever suffered such humiliation? He only hated Yan Li to his core.
The prison van moves slowly.
Yan Li, Chen Qingfeng, and Qin Shiyuan led three elites to leave early in the morning. The soldiers and horses brought by General Xuan fell behind, escorted the Prime Minister, escorted the Kang family criminals, and rushed slowly towards Shengjing.
On September 20th, Yan Li and his party arrived in Shengjing, the most prosperous city in Jin.
After Jiang Yi went down to court, he led a group of officials to wait outside the palace gate, nervously and expectantly looking at the group of Qingqi coming from afar.
When he came closer, Yan Li quickly turned over and dismounted.
"Li'er." Jiang Yi stepped forward quickly and couldn't wait to hold her in his arms, "You are finally back! I hope you are safe, I hope you are safe."
Yan Li was hugged quietly by her, but she didn't resist. She just looked through Jiang Yi's shoulder and cast her eyes on the crowd of ministers and princes in front of the palace gate. It was no surprise that she saw Yan Chen's ugly face. With his gloomy face, how could he look like a good brother to Mu Guoshi?
Yan Li patted Jiang Yi's back: "It's okay, don't worry."
Jiang Yi let her go and looked up and down her face: "Hasn't Yanling been bullied? Hasn't the Kang family been rude to you?"
"Kang Zixu wanted to be rude to me." Yan Li's voice was neither high nor low, just in time for all the ministers present to listen, "He also sent someone to kidnap me in the middle of the night with the intention of doing something wrong to me -"
"It's a crime worthy of death!" Jiang Yi lowered her face, "The Kang family has been really lawless in Yanling these years. If I don't take care of it, other major families will think that the imperial court is afraid of them!"
"The Queen, please calm down." A civil servant behind him bowed and said, "It's been too hard for the princess to come all the way. Yanling was frightened again. Please sit down in Taiji Hall first and let the princess have a sip of tea and rest."
Other ministers agreed.
Jiang Yi looked up at Ling Ning who was standing behind Yan Li, "Miss Ling."
"The Queen." Ling Ning came over and bowed to Jiang Yi, "I am escorting Princess Nanyang back to the Jin Kingdom according to my emperor's will, and bringing my emperor's long-cherished wish to be forever friendly with the Jin Kingdom."
"The Kingdom of Jin welcomes you." Jiang Yi nodded gently and raised her hand to indicate, "Please follow us into the palace. A grand banquet has been prepared in the palace to welcome Li'er and Miss Ling."
"Thank you, Queen."
Jiang Yi looked at Yan Li: "Let's go to the palace first."
Yan Li hummed.
The group turned around and stepped into the palace gate.
Jiang Yi and Yan Li walked to the front, chatting as they walked. The chamberlains followed behind with the phoenix chariot, Ling Ning walked beside Yan Li, and the four princes fell behind, with different expressions.
After arriving at the Tai Chi Hall and sitting down, 놋그 asked during the dinner: "How is the current situation of the Kang family?"
Yan Chen tightened his grip on the wine cup.
Yan Li didn't know the minister who spoke, so he simply replied: "He has been escorted back to Beijing."
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table gasped and subconsciously turned their heads to look at Yan Chen.
Although the Prime Minister and General Xuan had already gone to Yanling according to the Queen's order, they thought that the two sides had just a little conflict and that it would end with the Kang family personally coming to Beijing to plead guilty. Unexpectedly, they directly made trouble and were escorted back to Beijing.
"Sister." Yan Chen adjusted his mood and tried his best to smile, "Did the Kang family offend you?"
This question is obviously asked knowingly.
"The Kang family has offended not only me, but also dozens of innocent girls in Yanling, as well as the parents of the victims." Yan Li's voice was indifferent, with strong disgust in her tone, "I don't want to pay more for their crimes. He said that when the Prime Minister and General Xuan come back, they will clearly state their crimes one by one, and everyone will understand why the Kang family was convicted. "
An old minister sitting on the left seat said: "Her Royal Highness has just returned, so she probably doesn't know the position of Yanling of the Kang family and their contribution."
"I really don't know what their contribution is." Yan Li smiled coldly, "Who made them unlucky? As soon as I moved to Yanling, I met the eldest son of the Kang family who occupied the girl of the family? He occupied the girl. , why don't you dare to bear the reputation of occupying and have to go to the 그 family Xiu꺳's house in person to force the 그 family's father to admit that he sold his daughter to them? Why, force the 그 family to write a deed of sale, 꺳땣? Let him do whatever he wants to the girl, even if the girl is tortured and killed, he will not dare to pursue it, right? "
The old minister was silenced and his face turned slightly red: "Why is the princess so arrogant? The old minister just asked casually——"
"Is this princess arrogant?" Yan Li frowned, "I just truthfully stated the various crimes of the Kang family, how can I be arrogant?"
"I--"
"Still," Yan Li smiled coldly, "I am the princess and you are the subject. It is arrogant for you to talk to me like this. Could it be that this prince looks down on me as a princess and doesn't want the queen to take me back?"
"Imperial sister!" Yan Zheng said in a deep voice, "This is the Grand Tutor. You must not be rude."
Tutor?
Yan Li looked at the old man in front of her. Because of Taifu Jiang's relationship, her previous image of "the Taifu was highly virtuous and respected" had long been shattered.
Before returning to the Southern Kingdom, she would have reservations about the status of Taifu.
But the Jin Taifu in front of him didn't look that good.
Yan Li picked up the teacup in front of her, and said calmly: "Didn't my eldest brother love me very much before? Why are you so mean to me when you go to Jin?"
Yan Zheng choked: "I just told you that you should respect the Grand Tutor based on your brother's status, not to scold you on purpose."
"The Grand Tutor is an elder and should be respected, but there is a saying that goes 'You must respect yourself, and then others will respect you'." Yan Li raised her eyes, and a mocking arc passed through the corners of her lips, "The Grand Tutor should be respected, impart knowledge and etiquette, and know the hierarchy between the monarch and the ministers."
Yan Zheng obviously guessed what she was going to say next, and couldn't help but speak : "Royal sister——"
"Although I just came back from Mu State, I don't know the laws and regulations of Jin State very well, but I know that the monarch and the minister are in front, and the teacher and the student are behind." Yan Li looked at him with a smile, "The Grand Tutor is a teacher and a minister. Big brother, do you only remember that he is the Grand Tutor and forget that he is a minister?"
Yan Zheng's face flushed slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the queen, and then said: "Royal sister, I don't mean that."
Jiang Yi sat on the phoenix chair, holding a sheep-fat jade wine cup in his hand, turning a deaf ear to the dispute in front of him, and his calm face made it difficult to see the emotional fluctuations.
Yan Li asked calmly: "I discussed the Kang family issue with the Grand Tutor. Big Brother called me rude right away. Do you want me to shut up?" Tianlai Novel Network
Yan Zheng did not expect her to be so difficult. He was extremely angry, but he really did not want to argue with her in front of so many people. Not only would it be bad manners, but it would also make the Queen unhappy.
He picked up the wine cup and apologized helplessly: "It was my urgency. I hope that the Imperial Sister will forgive me. Big Brother, please punish yourself with three cups?"
