Chapter 230 Why not let General Bai do it?
Bai Lian only reacted after hearing everyone's scolding, and quickly waved his hands to explain: "No, that's not what I meant!"
Although Ouyang Ming's veil did not reveal any displeasure, he looked at her unkindly and asked, "What does the concubine of Prince Qi mean?"
Bai Lian was speechless and could only kneel on the ground.
Ouyang Ming frowned and looked at Ouyang Qi and said, "Prince Qi, take good care of your concubine and don't lose your sense of proportion."
Ouyang Qi wanted to slap Bai Lian again, but he felt that everyone was looking in his direction, so he didn't do it after all, and just said, "Yes, father."
Originally, Ouyang Ming had decided to take advantage of this without making a sound, but now that Bai Lian had pointed it out, if Feng Lin really listened and raised objections, he would have no choice but to deal with it fairly: "Lian'er was rude just now, but what she said is not unreasonable. What do you think, Prince Feng?"
Feng Lin smiled and said, "Dong Qin is indeed a country of etiquette. However, Feng Lin said that this matter was proposed by Feng Lin, and the Emperor of Dong Qin also wanted to cooperate with Feng Lin. It doesn't matter if the prize is a little less. After all, friendly talks between the two countries are the most important!"
After hearing this, Ouyang Ming was obviously relieved.
Everyone said that Feng Lin was bloodthirsty, brutal, arrogant and willful, but he did give me some face, so I guess he came to the negotiations with sincerity.
"Since Prince Feng wants to compete so much, then let's compete. However, Dongqin and Nanjiang are good at different things. I really don't know what kind of competition can be fair."
Feng Lin smiled very evilly: "It is indeed as the Emperor of East Qin said. East Qin and South Xinjiang are good at different things. For the sake of fairness, none of us wrote two competition items. We can draw three of them and win two out of three games. How about that?"
Ouyang Ming thought that he had taken advantage of the prize, so he wanted to give Feng Lin some opportunities in the competition. However, he did not expect that Feng Lin did not seize this opportunity, but chose a fair choice: "Just follow what Prince Feng said!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the competition between Dongqin and Nanjiang was settled.
Soon, Eunuch Gui took out a red lottery stick tube with four sticks in it. Two of them were written by Fenglin and the other two were written by Ouyang Ming.
From the outside, the four sticks look no different.
Eunuch Gui handed the lottery ticket box to Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming smiled and spread his hands, saying, "Since this idea was proposed by Crown Prince Feng, let Crown Prince Feng shake it."
Dong Qin had already taken advantage. If he shook the lottery and got two lots written by himself, Feng Lin would have some ideas.
Eunuch Gui hurriedly came to Fenglin with the fortune stick box.
Feng Lin smiled and said, "Since this lot was written by the Emperor of East Qin and this prince together, it would be inappropriate for this prince to do it if the Emperor of East Qin doesn't shake it. How about this prince choosing someone to shake it? What does the Emperor of East Qin think?"
Ouyang Ming didn't expect Feng Lin to say that. Could it be that... Feng Lin's subordinates were experts in drawing lots? Could they draw the right questions for the written test that he wrote 100% of the time?
Even so, Dong Qin had already taken advantage and couldn't ask for more at this moment.
"Of course you can, but I don't know who Prince Feng is going to let shake the lottery stick?"
Feng Lin seemed to have made up his mind long ago. He stood there, shaking and looking at Bai Wei not far away: "Why not let General Bai do it!"
"General Bai? Which General Bai?"
"When did a general named Bai appear in Southern Xinjiang? Why have I never heard of him?"
"No, is it possible that this General Bai from Southern Xinjiang is actually General Bai from Eastern Qin?"
"General Bai from Dong Qin, isn't that..."
"The daughter of Minister Bai, and the only female general in Dongqin!"
"..."
For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Bai Wei, but Bai Wei, who was called out, had not anticipated the situation at all. She was holding a roasted chicken leg in her hand and eating it happily.
I have to say that the royal chefs in this palace are very good. This roast chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth.
However, she felt embarrassed when she was suddenly stared at by so many people, no matter how thick-skinned she was.
Ouyang Ming was also a little surprised: "The General Bai that Prince Feng mentioned is the granddaughter of the Prince of Zhennan, Bai Wei, General Bai?"
In his mind, Feng Lin should choose someone he trusts to draw the lot, preferably someone with some special abilities to ensure that he can draw the event he wants to compete in.
But I didn't expect that he would actually choose Bai Wei.
Feng Lin smiled slightly, his eyes curved into a crescent shape, making that bright and beautiful face even more fascinating: "Yes, Feng Lin is talking about her."
The chicken leg in Bai Wei's hand suddenly lost its fragrance.
Is Feng Lin sick? Why is he cueing her for no reason?
Ouyang Ming's eyes flashed with deep thought, but he pretended not to show any emotion. He smiled gently and kindly, and even looked at Bai Wei with a hint of kindness that only an elder could have: "It's rare that Prince Feng trusts Wei'er so much, but... can I know why Prince Feng chose Wei'er to shake the lottery?"
Feng Lin smiled and said, "To be honest, this is the first time I've met General Bai. We just hit it off right away. Before the Taiping Banquet, she argued for herself, neither humble nor arrogant, and was impartial. This made Feng Lin feel that if she were to shake the lottery, it would definitely be fair."
After saying that, he turned his head from looking at Ouyang Ming to Bai Wei and continued: "Of course, the most important point is that Feng Lin really thinks General Bai is very handsome!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xing saw that the silver wine cup in his prince's hand had changed shape, and the wine slowly fell along the bony fingers and dripped onto his silver and white robe.
"..."
No, Your Majesty, even if you are unhappy, you should be careful about the place. If others see it, won't it be troublesome again?
He quickly bent down to help Ouyang Yi clean up, and in the process, he dropped the deformed wine glass on the ground, stepped on it twice, then picked it up and said to the maidservant not far away, "Sorry, please bring another wine glass for my prince. The wine glass fell over and I accidentally stepped on it."
The maid took the wine glass blankly and nodded, "Yes."
Unexpectedly, the guard beside Prince Yi looked young but was actually quite strong. He just stepped on the wine glass twice and broke it into this shape.
But it doesn’t matter, the things are still there, so it’s easy to get back to the task.
So, I took the wine glass to exchange it.
On the other side, Ouyang Qi couldn't sit still. "Feng Lin, what do you mean? You said such frivolous words in public, openly teasing my noble lady from Dong Qin. What's your intention? You must remember that you came to Dong Qin to negotiate on behalf of Nanjiang. Don't stir up any trouble. My noble lady from Dong Qin is not someone you can covet at will!"
Feng Lin raised his eyebrows: "This prince only admires and praises General Bai, how can it be said to be teasing or coveting him. Moreover, General Bai himself has not spoken, what position does His Royal Highness Prince Qi have to say these words to this prince?"
