The envoy from Wei Country, Yuan Lu, bowed to the Emperor of Yan Country, but the Emperor did not dismiss him or offer a seat; instead, he raised his hand and waved gently:
"Play the music."
The next moment, beautiful and melodious music filled Zhonghe Hall.
The eunuchs within the palace served fine wine to the seated civil and military officials, as well as envoys from various regions, one by one. A group of dancers dressed in light purple gowns emerged in a line, looking shy and beautiful, akin to blooming peach blossoms, lightly dancing to the music.
Yuan Lu was almost knocked over by the suddenly dancing performers, leaving him awkwardly standing aside.
He had nowhere to sit and nothing to say.
The excitement was shared by everyone, yet the embarrassment was solely his.
Gu Lan curled her lips: "He thought that coming in with Tang Zhan might help showcase the might of Wei Country, but unexpectedly, Dayan paid him no heed."
