Chapter 223: Your Highness, do you recognize the person in the painting?
Ji Xuan slightly side-glanced and looked towards the source of the sound.
When he saw Yili, he frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, and said in a cold voice.
"who are you?"
The temperament of the person in front of her reminded her of the third brother, who was pretentious and equally annoying.
His gaze fell on the other people beside that person, and he saw that their time-travel attire did not look like that of people from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Especially that dress, it looked familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.
Ji Xuan frowned.
Yili was not annoyed by Ji Xuan's cold and disrespectful expression: "I am Yili, the Left Prime Minister of Zangrong."
"No matter who you are, tell me what you want to explain. If you can't explain it, be careful that I will punish you."
Ji Xuan didn't know who the Left Prime Minister of Zangrong was. She only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, so why would she care about the affairs of the diplomatic corps?
Ji Yao, who was sitting on the dragon throne, frowned when she saw this and said lightly, "Xuan'er, Yi Xiang is an envoy from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty representing the Tibetan Rong. You must not be rude to him."
Hearing this, Ji Xuan was stunned for a moment, her eyes falling on Yili and the others.
Are these people envoys?
Ji Xuan knew what an envoy was. It was a matter of friendship between the two countries, so she couldn't easily provoke conflicts. Otherwise, even with the protection of her mother, the court officials would not let her go.
She understood the seriousness of the matter, so Ji Xuan slightly suppressed the impatience on her face.
Seeing this, Yili's dark eyes turned deep and he said seriously.
"May I ask whether your Highness has ever competed with anyone for the most beautiful lady in Juesefang that day?"
Hasn’t this been asked before?
Ji Xuan's face didn't look very good, but she still responded patiently.
"That's what happened."
"Then Your Highness, have you ever seen any women wearing strange clothes?"
Ji Xuan frowned and asked impatiently: "Why are you asking this?"
Yili's eyes flashed sharply: "Your Highness, just answer yes or no."
Ji Xuan said unhappily, "So what if there is? So what if there isn't?"
Yili narrowed his eyes and signaled his subordinates to present the things. After a while, a scroll appeared in front of everyone.
The painting shows a man wearing leather boots, a fur coat, a gold ribbon around his waist, and an exquisite dagger.
Her long dark hair was tied up high behind her head, she wore a rope-woven pendant on her forehead, a silver circle on her left ear, and her sharp eyes were shining with brilliance, giving her an imposing aura.
"Does Your Highness recognize the person in the painting?"
Ji Xuan looked at the person in the painting and felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.
After thinking for a while, she said, "I have met many people. Who knows who this is?"
"you……"
Huyan Zhen on the side glared fiercely and was about to lose his temper when he was stopped by Yili on the side.
"Since Your Highness doesn't remember, let me remind you. Do you remember the person who competed with Your Highness for the most beautiful woman in Juesefang?"
After Yili's reminder, Ji Xuan also remembered and her face became a little gloomy.
How could she not remember?
No one has ever dared to challenge her like this. It's really despicable that these barbarians are so ungrateful.
He must have been tortured beyond recognition by now.
Ji Xuan was pleased with herself, raised her eyebrows, glanced at Yili, and snorted coldly.
"Of course I remember that those daring thieves were disrespectful to me and even pretended to be the princess of the crown prince in an attempt to murder me!"
"Such an evil villain, this princess will not let him off easily!"
There was a flash of resentment in Ji Xuan's eyes. She glanced at Yili and others who looked unhappy, and said arrogantly.
"What? Could it be that Yi Xiang knows those spies?"
Yili's smile didn't reach his eyes: "Spy?"
Ji Xuan didn't notice the anger of Yili and others, and was still complacent.
"Yes, those ignorant people dared to pretend to be the princess of an envoy and even tried to intimidate me."
"So, I sent them directly to the Dali Temple Prison. I'm afraid they would have died by now."
