Chapter 124: Just give it away like that?
He was a little confused, for Sun Ce knew that the person in charge of welcoming guests from various countries this time was the Regent of the Tang Dynasty.
But I didn't expect that the regent was so young.
This guy looks younger than himself, probably in his early twenties at most.
He became the regent of the Tang Dynasty at such a young age?
Either the other party had done something that was enough to change the destiny of the Tang Dynasty, or this guy must have a close relationship with Wu Zetian.
Apart from these two reasons, Sun Ce really couldn't think of any other reasons.
Moreover, Wu Zetian didn’t have any relatives, so it was obvious that she was not a clan relative of Jiang Mingche.
Just like her elder brother’s reaction, Sun Shangxiang was also very surprised.
It is unheard of that such a young regent is not from the royal family.
"Everyone, how about we raise our glasses together and toast to the Regent?"
A middle-aged man with a big belly, dressed in a brocade silk robe, stood up from his seat and spoke with a faint smile.
"Yes, let us raise our glasses together to toast the Regent."
"To the Regent..."
The middle-aged man's words were immediately agreed by everyone present.
Guests from various countries in the hall stood up from their seats and began to toast Jiang Mingche.
Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang also quickly stood up from their seats and followed suit.
"Everyone, drinking too much is harmful to your health, just enjoy yourself."
Jiang Mingche drank the wine in the glass and spoke slowly.
No matter who toasts him, Jiang Mingche will always accept the toast.
Anyway, he can drink a lot, so he's not afraid of getting drunk.
If all else fails, you can use your inner strength to neutralize the alcohol, so you can drink all night long.
The banquet to welcome guests from various countries lasted for more than an hour.
After drinking for more than an hour, the group of people returned to their respective rooms with the help of the servants.
Jiang Mingche stood up from his seat, shook his dizzy head, and used his internal energy to dissolve some of the alcohol so that he wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.
"It's hard to bear, right? I made you drink so much."
Jialuo came to Jiang Mingche with a bowl of ginger soup. Seeing Jiang Mingche's look, she gave him a displeased look and said with a mixture of anger and resentment.
Although I know that Jiang Mingche has a high level of cultivation and excellent physical fitness, he will be fine no matter how much he drinks.
But every time Jiang Mingche drank, she couldn't help but try to stop him.
After all, drinking is always harmful to the body, but in Jiang Mingche's case, this harm is infinitely reduced.
"hey-hey......."
Jiang Mingche laughed dryly twice and did not continue the conversation.
After taking the ginger soup from Jialuo's hand, he slowly drank it.
"My dear wife, you care about your husband the most."
Putting down the soup bowl, Jiang Mingche said with some sigh.
After drinking a big bowl of ginger soup, he felt warm all over, and even the drunkenness was much gone.
"I don't care about you, so am I waiting for those vixens outside to care about you?"
After spending some time with Jialuo, Jialuo left the Honglu Temple and returned to the palace.
Jiang Mingche came to the martial arts field outside the main hall, intending to stretch his body.
The International Lantern Festival will officially begin the day after tomorrow evening. He has nothing else to do during these two days. He just needs to keep drinking with these guests from various countries.
The group of people who came at noon were just those from small countries in the Heluo area. In the afternoon, envoys from other countries arrived. As the host, he also had to entertain them with drinks.
Jiang Mingche was strolling around 287 Honglu Temple, admiring the beautiful scenery around him, when an unexpected person suddenly appeared in front of him.
Dongfang Jing walked in front of Jiang Mingche with a pair of charming long legs.
She was wearing a pair of black leather pants today, which perfectly set off her long and straight legs.
The legs are all below the neck, and that's Dongfang Jing.
Dongfang Jing is about 1.76 meters tall, and his legs are about one meter long.
"Your Majesty..."
After arriving in front of Jiang Mingche, Dongfang Jing bowed slightly.
Originally, as an envoy, she didn't need to bow to Jiang Mingche, but because she needed a favor from him, Dongfang Jing was very respectful.
Dongfang Jing was wearing a white short skirt that just reached her thighs.
Jiang Mingche was about a head taller than Dongfang Jing. As Dongfang Jing bent down slightly, Jiang Mingche could see the bulging bag clearly.
Although she was wearing a short skirt, Jiang Mingche, who had seen countless women, had probably guessed the size of this aloof and cool lady... "It turns out to be an oriental girl..."
"You and I met once at Jixia Academy, so we can be considered old acquaintances."
"Oriental girls don't need to be so polite..."
After taking a look twice, Jiang Mingche withdrew his gaze and said with a faint smile.
The first glance is instinct, the second glance is desire. If you keep staring at someone, it would be really impolite.
After all, he is the regent of the Tang Dynasty, and to a certain extent, he also represents the face of the entire Tang Dynasty...
"When did the Oriental girl arrive?"
Jiang Mingche asked curiously.
"I just arrived in Chang'an City..."
Dongfang Jing spoke in a cold tone. No matter who she was facing, she always looked cold as ice.
Keeping Ying Zheng's instructions in mind, Dongfang Jing began looking for Jiang Mingche as soon as he arrived at Honglu Temple.
Finally, she found Jiang Mingche on the railing on the side of the corridor.
Jiang Mingche didn't care about Dongfang Jing's attitude at all. He knew that Dongfang Jing was just that kind of person.
Although she is extremely beautiful, Dongfang Jing seems to be born without the ability to smile.
If this woman suddenly starts laughing one day, then there would be something fishy going on.
"You're in such a hurry to see me right after arriving in Chang'an City?"
"What's up, Oriental girl?"
Jiang Mingche asked with a strange look on his face.
If there was nothing particularly important, Dongfang Jing would not have to do this.
After traveling for several days, I should take a good rest now.
“There are indeed some things…”
Dongfang Jing nodded slightly, turned around and shouted towards the end of the corridor.
"You all come out..."
As Dongfang Jing finished speaking, a group of young girls, no more than 20 years old, came towards them from the end of the corridor.
A rough estimate is about one million people.
"Oriental girl, what are you doing..."
Frowning, Jiang Mingche looked at Dongfang Jing with some confusion.
Although these girls are not as beautiful as peerless beauties like Dongfang Jing, they are still one in a million.
It is obvious that these women were deliberately selected by Dongfang Jing.
Does he really look like a pervert who is hungry and will eat anything?
It's true that he is a playboy, but not every woman wants him.
These women may be goddess-like figures in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Jiang Mingche's eyes they are just ordinary.
After all, he is surrounded by peerless beauties like Aligalo, and his horizons have been raised unknowingly.
"This is what His Majesty meant..."
"His Majesty told me to bring hundreds of beauties with me to present to the Regent when I attend the International Lantern Festival..."
"These beauties are all the ones who stood out from the Xuanyong Qin State's annual talent show..."
After a pause, Dongfang Jing continued.
"Although they live deep in the palace, these concubines are all virgins."
In this era, women's chastity is still very important.
Before getting married, women generally would not easily commit themselves to another man.
After all, if you commit yourself to someone and cannot get married successfully in the future, then it will be the end of you and it will be difficult for you to get married again in this life.
Even if she really got married, she would be a concubine at most.
Unless a man lives in a poor family at the bottom of society, the wife he marries in a formal ceremony is usually a virgin.
Therefore, most women attach great importance to their chastity.
Ordinary men take these things very seriously, let alone someone like Jiang Mingche who cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes.
She didn't dare to find a few women to fool Jiang Mingche. After all, in this era, there was no saying that blood loss was not a heartless thing and that it could be repaired in a hospital for eight hundred yuan.
It has been several years since Ying Zheng became emperor, but apart from a queen, he has never visited other beautiful ladies.
Ying Zheng was only interested in conquering the seven states surrounding the Xuanyong Qin State, so he didn't care about such things at all.
The reason why concubines were selected every year was due to pressure from ministers in the court.
After all, in the eyes of those old antiques, the sooner Ying Zheng has a child, the better. In this way, if Ying Zheng dies one day, the Xuanyong Qin State will have successors.
"The concubine Ying Zheng sent me?"
After hearing Dongfang Jing's words, Jiang Mingche's expression became a little strange.
Wow, it’s not surprising to give away weapons, martial arts techniques, and elixirs.
But it's really rare to send a hundred women at a time.
Although these women are not as beautiful as his own wife, each of them has a good appearance.
This old guy Ying Zheng is really willing to give up. Maybe these women will become his concubines in the harem in the future, but now he just gives them away like this?
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Mingche understood why Ying Zheng did this.
This guy must be a little anxious because he has not been to Xuanyong Qin State.
"That's right..."
"These are the beautiful girls that His Majesty sent to the Regent..."
"Your Majesty said that only a unique person like the Regent is worthy of having these beauties..."
Dongfang Jing flattered him calmly.
Although Dongfang Jing was praising himself, there was no flattering expression on his face, not even a hint of a smile.
This made Jiang Mingche feel strange in his heart. He always felt that this woman seemed to be being sarcastic to him.
"Since the King of Qin has such intentions, it would be hypocritical for me to keep refusing."
"When Miss Dongfang returns, remember to thank the King of Qin for me."
"When I have some free time, I will definitely visit Xuanyong Qin State and discuss ways to deal with the invasion of foreign species from Xuanyong Qin State."
Jiang Mingche said with a faint smile, taking the initiative to bring up this matter.
Isn't it because of this reason that Ying Zheng tried every possible means to please me?
Otherwise, he is a monarch after all, and he would not do such a thing.
Moreover, he will have to go to Xuanyong Qin State sooner or later, after all, there is a task that the system has already issued.
He was also very envious of the three hundred points.
"That's good..."
After hearing Jiang Mingche's answer, Dongfang Jing finally felt relieved.
Originally, she thought that Jiang Mingche was going to pretend to be serious and shirk the responsibility.
Jiang Mingche agreed without even thinking about it, which was really beyond her expectations.
It also slightly changed Dongfang Jing's perception of Jiang Mingche.
