Section IX Diplomatic Situation (1)

"Virded Viscount Coomley, please go here, your old friends Baron Keelli and Viscount Yulan are waiting for you here."

"Oh, Mr. Sharif, look, who is here? They are all friends in your business, and they are all waiting for you."

"Earl Claus, please wait for you here. Viscount Sadu is waiting for you here. He and a lady are in the small hall over there. Who else? Oh, don't worry, they are all your acquaintances. Don't worry, you have no idle people to disturb you."

If receiving guests is an art, then as several waiters in Liuyunxuan who are specialized in receiving affairs are undoubtedly the best in this art. With the help of the staff of the Embassy of the Sithro Empire in Beijing, they brought each guest into their own small circle just in a good way, so that they would not feel lonely and embarrassed. Of course, some particularly important guests need to be arranged by the host.

The exquisite saxophone and black tube were already on their lips, and the violinists had already taken their place. The drummers stood quietly aside, but the Earl of Huaxili, the Minister of the Sithro Empire in Beijing, seemed to have not announced the beginning of the cocktail party. The guests knew that there must be some more important guests who had not been present. They were all talking about the anecdotes and interesting things that happened in the imperial capital recently in their personal circles, and patiently waiting for the start of the cocktail party.

"Sir, do you need me to urge me again?" The business counselor saw that his boss was a little anxious and followed the count and whispered.

"No, I believe they will come. Although the Tanghe people are not polite, I think what they promised in such an occasion, it should not be a mistake. This is just an ordinary celebration party. The Tanghe people should not refuse it in terms of emotion or reason." The Earl of Huaxili shook his head and rejected his subordinate's proposal.

"The Duke of Marco is here, the Marquis and Marquises in the Well Zezhong are here, and Miss Angel is here." The three consecutive roll callers finally welcomed the three most important guests.

The Earl of Huaxili had already come forward, hugged the two in front, then kissed the lady's finger respectfully, and politely invited the three of them to enter.

A melodious song immediately sounded in the venue, and the guests automatically dodged a passage and welcomed three distinguished guests into the venue.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we will take this place to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ascension of His Majesty Philip V, the Emperor of the Sithro Empire. On behalf of the Sithro Empire, I would like to express my personal gratitude to all the guests who attended this reception,—"

Angel stood among the guests bored and took a glass of champagne from the waiter. She didn't want to attend such a meaningless cocktail party at all. The 20th anniversary of the emperor of the Sithro Empire ascended the throne, but she couldn't stand the persuasion of her uncle and the kindness of the Marquis who came to invite her, and had to suppress her displeasure.

Of course she knew that her uncle had close business dealings between the Sithro people, and Uncle Jing and his wife were also friends of her father's generation, so she was not able to refuse. Fortunately, on the way she came, the deputy foreign minister of the Empire had clearly told her that if the Sithro people asked some difficult questions, she could completely refuse to answer.

With the end of the nonsense of the Count of Huaxili, the cocktail party finally officially began. Groups of red men and green women either raised their glasses or chatted and laughed. Guests had already appeared in the dance hall on the right half of the ballroom. The cheerful melody and the stimulation of alcohol made many guests quickly become slutty.

"Miss Angel, can you please dance?" The Count in a tuxedo greeted him politely after saluting like a knight.

"Of course, Earl of Huaxili." Angel politely accepted the invitation with a charming smile on her face.

The thick and powerful song of "Arc de Triomphe" is really one of the best dance music for Fox Steps. It can be seen that the Earl of Huaxili should have been born in an aristocratic family. Compared with Angel's superb dancing skills, they are not at all inferior. The two cooperated very well. If it weren't for the Earl of Huaxili's silver hair, I'm afraid many people would think that this is a couple dancing to the fullest. Of course, those who know Angel would not think of this. Almost no one is unaware of the woman of Li Wufeng, the Northwest King.

"Miss Angel, I can get you here, and this celebration will add a lot of color." The Earl of Huaxili's eloquence is no less than his dancing skills, and Angel has heard of this.

"Mr., you are too proud. Angel is just an ordinary woman. How can you afford to praise you like this?" Angel knew that this was just the beginning. The other party must have some purpose to use herself to achieve, and she needs to deal with it carefully.

"Haha, although I am from Xisluo, I have heard of Liming from the Three Flowers of the Imperial Capital for a long time. The lady is too modest. What's more, the confidante of the governor Li Wufeng, can it make Li Wufeng bow down to the girl under the pomegranate skirt? "The Earl of Huaxili grinned, and her snow-white teeth made An Qier suddenly feel that the old-fashioned gentleman in front of her is not that annoying. I wonder if his compliments made An Qier's feeling change.

"Sir Earl, you may have misunderstood. Lord Li Wufeng is just a relatively good friend of mine. My relationship with him is not as close as you imagined. Please do not misunderstand me." Although I had a slight affection for the other party, An Qier knew that the other party was coming with a promising situation and was also defending step by step when she spoke.

"Is that so? It seems that Miss Anqier still doesn't trust me very much. According to the reliable information I have obtained, the lady and Lord Li Wufeng should have a marriage agreement?" The old gentleman still had the smile on his thin cheeks.

Angel was shocked. Except for some important people in the northwest, not many people in the imperial capital knew about this news. Of course, many people in the Huey family also knew about it. However, Angel had always said that she was just a friend of Li Wufeng. Everyone could guess it, but no one thought that Angel and Li Wufeng had a marriage agreement, because the Seventeenth Princess of the Empire had held a grand engagement ceremony with Li Wufeng in the imperial capital. No one expected that Li Wufeng, who was the son-in-law, would dare to have a marriage contract with other women. After all, it was the same thing that you had a woman, but if you talk about marriage, you need to be careful.

"The Earl is really good at joking. The one who got engaged to Li Wufeng is His Highness Seventeenth Princess. How could it be me? Did the Earl drink too much?" An Qier, who came to her senses, immediately denied it.

"Miss Angel, you don't have to be too careful. I have no other intentions. I just want to convey the kindness of our Sithro Empire to Lord Li Wufeng through you." The dance music was over, and the two walked side by side outside the field. The old gentleman shrugged and spread his hands open, and his two beautiful beards raised high.

"Good intention? Earl, you are joking again. Although I don't know much about politics, I also know that your country sent troops to attack the northwest not long ago. The battle between the two sides was famous in the Ganlan Fortress. This is probably difficult to explain as a manifestation of kindness, right?" Although Angel smiled like a pearl, her sharp and mean sarcasm made the thick skin of Earl Huaxili.

"This, Miss Angel, today I want to ask the lady to convey our apology to Lord Li Wufeng for us. Prince Mecardo and General Kidman privately provoked the northwest without the permission of His Majesty the Emperor. This is a serious mistake. His Majesty the Emperor has been determined to punish the two of them seriously, so I hereby express my apology to Lord Li Wufeng on behalf of the Empire, and hope that Lord Li Wufeng can accept our sincere apology with a broad mind." The Earl of Huaxili looked serious and looked solemn.

"I'm sorry, Count, I can't understand. You can express your 'sincere apology' directly to Li Wufeng. Why should I go far and let me, a corpse-free person, convey it?" An Qier looked at the old gentleman in confusion and asked.

The old gentleman didn't know how to answer the other party's straightforward question. Li Wufeng didn't accept his own explanation at all. Even Su Qin and Wang Liao refused to receive the special envoys sent by his own party. However, the autumn harvest was a foregone conclusion. This year, the empire will tighten his waist and spend the second half of the year. Not to mention war, even the normal guarantee of the soldiers will be difficult. Even the food needs to be imported in large quantities. If Northwest has a slight slut behind his back, the empire will have a harder life. Thinking of this, the Earl of Huaxili would not have to curse the damn Kidman secretly. How could he choose to provoke Li Wufeng, a hornet's nest, but let himself beg others in a low voice.

"Uh, this, Miss Anqier, I don't tell lies in front of the real person. Lord Li Wufeng seems to misunderstand us a little. He doesn't want to receive our special envoy, so I want to ask you to come forward and explain it to us. Please don't refuse. Uncle and I have been old friends for many years, and Lord Jing Zezhong has a good relationship with me. For the sake of the two, please do me a favor." The old gentleman decided to be honest. He didn't want to affect the other party's perception of himself because of this.

After thinking for a while, Angel was a little embarrassed. Although Wufeng gave her a lot of power, she had never made any decision without authorization. She was not sure how much substantial damage the Xisluo people caused to the northwest in the battle of Yinchuan. She didn't know whether Wufeng ignored Xisluo people deliberately took airs or something else, but this did not seem like Wufeng's approach.
