Fortunately, Celestial Thearch Ying did not continue to make things difficult for them, and the banquet proceeded smoothly.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. The domineering Heavenly Emperor Ying was too terrifying. Furthermore, he had the powerful Qin Country behind him.
Han Fei finally came after washing up.
Han Fei and Red Lotus sat on either side of Celestial Emperor Ying.
This was also Han Wangan's arrangement. Celestial Emperor Ying specially brought Han Fei to Xinzheng, so the relationship between the two must be extraordinary. He also received the news that Celestial Emperor Ying had two peerless beauties by his side, and his daughter, Hong Lian, was indeed pretty. With the two of them helping him, the current situation might be eased.
After three rounds of wine, Han Wangan looked at the dancing beauty in the hall and spoke again," What do you think of our Han Country's dance, Crown Prince?”
"Elegant and luxurious, decadent music. Although it looks good, it's also the easiest to wear down one's will.”said Heavenly Emperor Ying faintly.
Han Wangan's mouth twitched involuntarily at this merciless evaluation. Although he was a little embarrassed, he still smiled." I heard that the singing and dancing of the Qin Country are heroic and magnificent. It's a pity that I haven't had the chance to witness it. It's really a great pity!”
Celestial Thearch Ying did not know what Han Wangan wanted to say. He could only nod his head symbolically.
You want to see the song and dance of the State of Qin? Do you want me to perform a song for you?
Han Wangan coughed awkwardly and continued," Cough cough…I think these vulgar songs and dances won't catch the Crown Prince's eye. Why don't you let my daughter, Hong Lian, dance for you personally? How about that?”
"Princess Red Lotus?"
Heavenly Emperor Ying slowly nodded his head," That's good too. Then, I shall wait and see!”
Han Wangan was delighted. It seemed like this honey trap was still effective. He immediately waved his hand to dismiss the dancing people.
"Hong Lian, today you will dance to liven things up!”
Although his words were calm, there was an undeniable meaning in them.
"You want me to dance for him?"
Hong Lian was unwilling to become a tool used by her father to please Celestial Emperor Ying.
"Father, I don't want to dance!"
"Hong Lian, your dance is one of the best in the palace. It just so happens that father hasn't seen you dance for a long time.”
Although Han Wangan revealed a smile, his expression was already somewhat unnatural. After all, it was still a little embarrassing to be rejected by his daughter in public.
Therefore, his words were somewhat forceful.
"Father…"
Han Fei didn't want his sister to be wronged, but he was interrupted by Han Wangan.
"Ninth Brother, entertain the Crown Prince well!"
"Your Highness!"
In desperation, Han Fei had to seek help from Celestial Emperor Ying.
However, Han Wangan did not give him a chance.
Red Lotus knew that she could not hide from him, so she stood up again and went to the center of the hall. She randomly chose a dance and started dancing. However, his cold expression also made her feel unhappy and helpless.
But even so, one could still see that her dance was much better than those people from before. Looking at the beauty who was dancing like a butterfly, a smile appeared on the corner of Celestial Emperor Ying's mouth.
When they had first met, he had only felt that the other party was unruly, but he had not expected him to have such a skill. Although he knew that Han Wangan had done this to pull the cage for him, it did not affect his admiration.
Soon, the dance ended. Hong Lian bowed perfunctorily and returned to her seat without any hesitation.
"Alright, haha!"
Han Wangan was the first to applaud, looking like he was giving his daughter face. The ministers in the hall also opened their mouths to respond.
"What does the Crown Prince think of my daughter's dance?”
"The dance is beautiful, but the person is even more beautiful!"
Celestial Thearch Ying was not stingy with his praise. He also understood Han Wangan's intentions.
Han Wangan's face became even happier." The Crown Prince is a natural born saint, and now he's even more heroic. My daughter Hong Lian will be 28 years old soon, and it's time to find her a suitable partner.”
"I'm not boasting, but with my daughter's looks, I'm afraid only the Crown Prince is worthy of her. I also hope that the two countries can become good friends.”
Hearing this, Celestial Emperor Ying frowned and then looked at Red Lotus, glancing at the latter and Han Fei from time to time.
Red Lotus was also a little shy from this gaze, but her heart was unusually uncomfortable.
She had just met Heavenly Emperor Ying today, why was he already talking about marriage?
When Han Wangan saw this, he thought that Celestial Emperor Ying liked Hong Lian. He was extremely happy. If the marriage between the two countries could really be promoted, not only would the matter of the envoy being killed be resolved, but it would also be a good thing for the Great Han Country.
However, what he didn't know was that at this moment, what was on Celestial Emperor Ying's mind was…
Red Lotus and Han Fei were very close. If he married Red Lotus, would Han Fei accept his previous invitation to join Great Qin?
However, no matter how much Han Fei loved his sister, it was unlikely that he would betray the Han Kingdom and return to Qin for her.
Moreover, if there was an additional princess of the Great Han Kingdom, who was the Crown Princess of the Qin Kingdom, sandwiched between the two countries, it was very likely that it would cause a lot of trouble when they plotted against the Han Country in the future. The gains would not make up for the losses.
However, that was not the case. Han Wangan's coercion had already made Red Lotus feel disgusted. As long as he manipulated it a little more, perhaps he could make Red Lotus completely give up on Han Wangan.
With the persuasion of Xun Zi and his beloved sister, Han Fei would be more likely to join the Qin Dynasty.
Celestial Thearch Ying said," This Crown Prince is grateful for King Han's good intentions. However, marriage is something that requires the consent of both parties. This Crown Prince does not wish to make things difficult for others. From what this Crown Prince can see, Princess Red Lotus does not seem to have any intention of marrying. Let's forget about this matter.”
When Han Wangan heard this, he could not help but feel a little anxious." My daughter, she…"
Just as he was about to say something, he heard an embarrassed and angry voice.
"Father!" Hong Lian looked straight at the former.
Looking at Hong Lian's stubborn gaze and the emotionless gaze of Heavenly Emperor Ying, he knew that there was no hope for this matter for the time being. Even if he could be Hong Lian's master, he did not have the ability to control Heavenly Emperor Ying.
"Han Wang, if Princess Red Lotus and I are truly in love, I will naturally ask Han Wang to marry the princess!”
Heavenly Emperor Ying was overjoyed. The more Han Wangan forced him, the more dissatisfied Red Lotus would be with Han Wangan. At the same time, he would be able to leave a good impression.
