A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

Lin Yiran applied the ointment evenly on the injured and swollen areas. She instantly felt a cool and refreshing sensation on her feet, and the pain was relieved a lot.

After letting it dry for a while and feeling that it was almost absorbed, Lin Yiran put on her socks. When she was about to put on her shoes, she was stopped by Liu Yu.

"Ran'er, don't go out yet. Rest here for a while. I'll come find you when I need your help."

"Brother Liu, I feel much better after applying the ointment. I also want to see how the Da Qi delegation will make things difficult for our Da Xuan Kingdom." Lin Yiran looked eager to try.

Liu Yu knew that this girl would definitely join in the fun, so he did not try to stop her. He helped her put on her shoes and then carried her to the door and put her down. If he was not afraid that people would see her and gossip about her, affecting her reputation, he would have wanted to carry her out directly.

The body fragrance exuded by Ran'er was very special, and he liked to smell that smell very much. He wished that the two of them could be tied together all the time so that they could stay together all the time.

Lin Yiran frowned when he saw Liu Yu standing next to him, "Brother Liu, we are too close to each other. If people see us two grown men squeezed together, people will gossip about us. I'm afraid that rumors will spread that the dignified War King is actually a homosexual."

"Ran'er, what a mess you have in your little head. Let's go. I'll just stay away from you." Liu Yu said helplessly.

Lin Yiran made a face at him, opened the door and walked out.

Liu Yu shook his head and laughed. After all, he was still a child. Seeing Lin Yiran walking quickly forward, Liu Yu had to warn him. "Ran'er, slow down. Your foot is still injured."

Liu Yu met several groups of familiar faces along the way, including his half-brothers and sisters who were not on good terms with him, as well as some court ministers and palace maids.

Without exception, their eyes fell on Lin Yiran who was beside him. They all speculated on the relationship between this dark and thin boy and Liu Yu.

You have to know that King Zhan is usually very cold to everyone except his mother, including his father.

Liu Yu brought Lin Yiran to the main hall, where a state banquet would be held to welcome the Da Qi delegation coming from afar.

At this time, quite a few people had gathered in the hall and were greeting each other.

At this time, a feminine voice sounded, "The Emperor and Empress have arrived."

The people who were just greeting each other immediately knelt down and shouted in unison, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the queen, a thousand years and a thousand years."

Lin Yiran stared blankly at the middle-aged man and woman on the podium. These were the supreme rulers of the country she lived in.

The man looked to be around 50 years old, mighty and domineering, with an extraordinary bearing, like the top of a mountain that people looked up to.

Liu Yu inherited only about 30% of his looks. It's hard to describe the queen's appearance. She can barely be considered dignified and elegant, but she has nothing to do with beauty.

Liu Yu tugged at Lin Yiran's sleeve, and she finally reacted and knelt down as well.

"My dear ministers, please stand up. The delegation from Da Qi has arrived. I believe you all know the reason why I invited you here today. Da Qi has been controlled by us for so many years and has long been dissatisfied. Their purpose for coming this time must not be simple. Do you have any way to deal with it?"

When the emperor saw that no one spoke, he knew what was in their minds.

With a cold snort, aren't you just afraid of taking responsibility?

"Lord Li, can you please tell me?" Minister Li was suddenly called out. I was shot even when I was lying down!

But since the emperor had spoken, he had to obey.

"Your Majesty, from what I have seen, we can stop the enemy with our troops and block the water with our earth. How can a great country like ours be afraid of a tiny country like him?"

"My dear minister, do you have any better suggestions?" The emperor at the top was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

There was silence in the audience; apparently no one wanted to be the first to speak out.

The emperor shook his head and looked at Prince Chen who was cowering on the side.

"Xiaowu, tell me."

Prince Chen thought to himself: I've hidden so far away, how could you still notice me?

There is no way. My father has spoken, so I have to say a few words even if I don't want to.

"I think what Minister Li said just now makes sense, but we should draw up a specific charter. I heard that the Da Qi delegation this time sent the Da Qi emperor's most beloved princess and the most valued sixth prince. I dare to guess that their purpose may be to form an alliance with our Da Xuan country and make the relationship between the two countries more inseparable."

The emperor, who was sitting at the top, nodded. His son had some brains, but not much.

The emperor continued: "Do you have any other suggestions?"

There was silence in the audience again.

He has raised a bunch of good-for-nothings! They can't help at all at the critical moment. He glanced around the audience. Suddenly his eyes lit up, "Seventh Brother, tell me something."

Liu Yu originally didn't want to be in the limelight, but since the old man named him, he had to stand up.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on him. The Seventh Prince was so outstanding. Perhaps only he could give an answer that would satisfy the Emperor.

The other princes looked at him with eyes full of reluctance, anger, jealousy, and a hint of fear.

Liu Yu turned a deaf ear to all this; he was already used to such looks.

He liked to see them getting frustrated because they couldn't stand me but couldn't get rid of me.

"Father, based on the information I have found out, the Da Qi delegation brought their country's sacred beasts and top talents from various industries. I think they may want to suppress the morale of our Da Xuan Kingdom through competition, so as to force us to sign some unequal treaties. I remember that my grandfather left behind a legacy that as long as those vassal states can defeat our Da Xuan Kingdom, we must agree to their independence. Now that Da Qi has been self-cultivating and recuperating for so many years, its national strength is much stronger than before. They have long since stopped wanting to submit to us." As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, there was a burst of applause.

The emperor's usually serious face also showed some joy. His youngest son had never let him down.

Only he is the most suitable person for this position, and only he can lead the Great Xuan Kingdom to a more glorious future.

"Has Xiaoqi come up with a way to deal with it?" The emperor looked at Liu Yu expectantly.

"I have found the most cutting-edge talents from various industries, and they are waiting outside the hall now," said Liu Yu.

"Okay, okay... I didn't expect my son to have made preparations for a rainy day. He has prepared everything in advance. This is up to me." The old emperor smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

Lin Yiran...

You really are good at flattering yourself.

Liu Yu said respectfully: "Father praised me immediately. It's mainly because you are a good teacher."

Lin Yiran didn't expect that Liu Yu would also flatter.

In this cannibalistic palace, it is not easy for anyone to survive.

At this time, a chorus of voices came from outside the palace, "The Third Princess and the Sixth Prince of the Great Qi delegation have arrived."
