Emperor Shen's charming wife

At the palace banquet not long after, the lights were brilliant and the music was melodious. However, the leader of the Dongyi delegation pretended to be crazy under the influence of alcohol, trying to destroy this harmonious atmosphere. His face was flushed, his eyes were blurry, and he staggered to the center of the hall, pointing at Shen Yu, openly questioning the legitimacy of his rule, and his words were vulgar and full of insults. "Your Majesty, do you think you are qualified to sit in this position?" The leader of the delegation glanced at Shen Yu, his tone full of disdain, and his arrogant attitude seemed as if this palace was his territory. As soon as these words came out, everyone present gasped and was shocked. The originally lively banquet suddenly became silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Yu and the leader of the delegation. Shen Yu's face turned ashen in an instant, and his hand tightly grasped the wine glass, and his knuckles turned white due to the force. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said coldly: "I am the one chosen by heaven, what's wrong with that?" The leader of the delegation sneered and raised his voice: "Your Majesty, do you think you are really the one chosen by heaven? You are just a usurper, a despicable villain." Shen Yu's face became uglier and uglier, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he still suppressed his anger. "I am the orthodox, don't talk nonsense." Shen Yu's voice was low and majestic. The leader of the delegation seemed not to hear it and continued to laugh: "Your Majesty, don't deceive yourself anymore. Do you think I don't know how you ascended to the throne? You are just a usurper, a despicable villain." Shen Yu's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out. The wine glass in his hand trembled slightly, and the anger in his heart was almost out of control. But as the king of a country, he had to remain restrained. "I am the orthodox, don't talk nonsense." Shen Yu said again, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice. At the palace banquet not long after, the lights were bright and the music was lingering. However, the leader of the Dongyi envoys lost his mind under the influence of alcohol and wantonly destroyed the originally harmonious and joyful atmosphere. His face was flushed, his eyes were bleary, and he staggered to the center of the hall, waving his arms and pointing at Shen Yu wantonly. His mouth was full of words questioning the legitimacy of Shen Yu's rule. Those words were vulgar and full of extreme insults. Shen Yu's face suddenly became gloomy as water. He clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. He tried hard to hold back the anger that was about to burst out. He said in a low and majestic voice: "How dare you! I am destined by heaven, how can I allow you to talk nonsense here!" However, his inner anger and humiliation were difficult to completely conceal. His slightly trembling body and tightly pursed lips revealed his emotional excitement at the moment. The envoys from various countries present witnessed this scene, and their faces showed complex expressions. Some were a little gloating, some were full of worries, and some were indifferent. Just when everyone thought that this farce was about to end, Ning Yao stepped forward. She moved lightly with lotus steps, her figure was graceful but with an inviolable majesty. "Dongyi envoy, do you know what you are saying?" Her voice was cold and powerful, like a cold spring hitting a stone, and it was clearly audible in this noisy banquet. The Dongyi envoy looked at her contemptuously, his eyes full of disdain, "Who are you?" "I am Ning Yao, the concubine of your majesty." Ning Yao raised her head slightly, her expression firm. The Dongyi envoy laughed wantonly, "So you are the woman favored by His Majesty. It's a pity that such a beautiful woman married a tyrant." Ning Yao's face suddenly became gloomy, and there seemed to be a cold light flashing in her beautiful eyes, "Who do you say is the tyrant?" "Of course it's your Majesty. He doesn't care about the lives of the people and only cares about his own selfish desires. What else can such a person be but a tyrant?" The Dongyi envoy glanced at her, and his words became more and more arrogant. Ning Yao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and her chest rose and fell slightly. "Your Majesty is a wise monarch, and his achievements are obvious to all. He built water conservancy projects to save the people from the suffering of drought; he reduced taxes and levies so that the people can live and work in peace. Don't talk nonsense here." The Dongyi envoy sneered, "Humph, you people only know how to sing praises, but don't know the true face of His Majesty.
