The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

"So that's the case. If the winner today can gain the favor of the Saint, it will be the honor of his life." Mo Wenjing said with a faint smile, but a trace of hope flashed through his heart.

Si Yao smiled slightly, her red lips slightly parted: "Your Highness Prince Xuan, you really flatter me by saying this."

Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something and asked in surprise, "Why is Princess Pingting here today?"

Although the voice was not loud, everyone's attention was on her at the moment, so everyone present heard it. Only then did everyone realize that Mu Yan was actually sitting alone in the corner.

When Mu Yan came in just now, she did not let the palace servants inform everyone, so no one noticed her.

Si Yao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Excuse me, but is the princess a member of the royal family?"

In fact, from the moment she came in, her eyes had been on Mu Yan, so she was very clear that she had not talked to anyone during this period, and concluded that Mu Yan was not invited by anyone, but had barged in without permission.

Mu Yan raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looked directly at Si Yao, and said frankly: "Saint, you are joking. I am just a princess specially conferred by His Majesty. I am not considered a member of the royal family."

Hearing this, Si Yao's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing, "Then which prince or prince invited the princess to come here?"

Mu Yan did not answer, but asked instead: "Who invited the Saint to come?"

At this point, Si Yao became more and more certain that she must have taken advantage of the palace servants' unpreparedness and barged in without permission, otherwise why would she avoid the question.

She raised her head and said, "I am the Saint of Dongfan. As a guest of Northern Qi, I can come here with the approval of His Majesty of Northern Qi."

Then he sneered again: "Princess Pingting didn't dare to look me in the face. Could she have slipped in when no one was paying attention?"

If this were true, she would surely become the laughing stock of the entire capital.

As a princess, she actually broke into the royal pleasure boat without being invited. Isn't that too unruly and shameless? She couldn't help but imagine the embarrassing scene of Mu Yan being expelled by the palace servants.

Mu Yan had a smile on her face, but her voice was unusually cold: "Saint Lady, aren't you being too presumptuous?"

"what?"

Si Yao frowned instinctively, not knowing what she meant.

"The Saint said that you are a guest of our Northern Qi Kingdom, and this pleasure boat belongs to our Northern Qi royal family. As the host family, we have not spoken yet, so when is it your turn to make a fuss?"

Immediately, her voice became even more contemptuous, "Or do you want to be the master of our Northern Qi?"

Although the sound is not loud, it is powerful.

At this moment, everyone on the boat looked at Si Yao with a little more inquiry.

Yes, just a saint from another country.

Besides, the two princes of our Northern Qi Kingdom are still present at the scene. When will it be her turn to question the princess personally appointed by His Majesty in public?

Si Yao's eyes widened, as if she was very angry. "You... No wonder the Queen of Northern Qi praised you, saying that Princess Pingting is so eloquent and all the women in the capital can't catch up with you!"

Mu Yan didn't pay attention to the sarcasm in her words, but looked at her calmly, smiling and saying, "It's better to be eloquent than some people who don't know their own identity."

What this means is that as a guest, you should fulfill your duties as a guest, know your place, and refrain from interfering in other people's affairs.

As soon as the words came out, Si Yao's face turned extremely ugly, but it was not appropriate for her to question at this time, otherwise wouldn't it confirm the fact that Dongfan was trying to suppress Northern Qi?

She came here this time to help Dongfan make Beiqi an ally, not to make it an enemy.

If the two countries became enemies or had a rift because of her, that person would definitely kill her without a burial place, but she really couldn't swallow this, so she had to look to Mo Xingchen for help.

However, Mo Xingchen ignored Si Yao's gaze and instead gave her a warning look at an angle that most people would not be able to detect.

But as luck would have it, the interaction between the two was caught by Mu Yan.

The corners of her mouth raised a scornful arc. How could a selfish and cold person like Mo Xingchen help Si Yao offend the loyal and brave mansion behind him for such a small verbal dispute? It was even more impossible for outsiders to notice the relationship between the two of them.

Instead, Mo Wenjing stepped out to smooth things over at the right time, "Since this pleasure boat is under the jurisdiction of the royal family, then I will make the decision and specially invite Princess Pingting to visit today."

After saying that, Si Yao clenched her fists in anger. She didn't care about Mo Xingchen's warning look at this moment. She stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, it's not that Si Yao intends to target the princess, but we in Dongfan have always admired the etiquette of the great country of Northern Qi."

"Now the princess has come here uninvited, without any regard for etiquette. It's really..."

Although she did not say all the following words, her meaning was obvious.

"This……"

Mo Wenjing was in a dilemma. Although he had not succeeded in winning over Marquis Zhongyong before, he did not want to make enemies with him.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Originally, today's incident was just a trivial matter and could be gotten over with vague words.

Who would have thought that the Holy Maiden of Dongfan would not give in? However, her words were reasonable and well-founded, so he did not dare to openly show favoritism. Otherwise, wouldn't he give people a reason to criticize him and cause the entire Northern Qi to be criticized by the world?

He could only ask in return: "What does the Saint think should be done?"

Si Yao did not notice the dissatisfaction in Mo Wenjing's eyes, and could not hide her excitement in her heart: "This matter is originally Northern Qi's own family affair, and it is not for an outsider like me to intervene. But since King Xuan asked, Si Yao will dare to express my humble opinion."

Then she said word by word, "The princess trespassed into the royal palace today. She must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others and to restore the order of Northern Qi."

She couldn't wait to see Mu Yan being severely punished and then kicked out of bed in an embarrassed state.

She still vividly remembered how embarrassed she was when she was driven out of the palace. Now she finally had the chance to let Mu Yan experience the same feeling.

But her joy did not last long as it was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"Who dares to severely punish the distinguished guest invited by the king today!"

The voice was as cold as if it had touched ice, but it made Mu Yan feel at ease.

Mo Yuche walked into the cabin under the gaze of everyone, and his eyes first fell on Mu Yan.

A trace of guilt flashed across those deep eyes, as if saying, "I'm late."

If he hadn't just had something urgent to deal with and had to leave for a while, she wouldn't be here alone and being blamed by others.

"Uncle Emperor!"

"Uncle Emperor!"

Mo Wenjing and Mo Xingchen both stepped forward to greet him with a very respectful attitude.

After all, their uncle holds a large number of troops. If anyone can get his support, the position of crown prince will basically be as easy as taking candy from a baby.

Mo Yuche ignored them and continued, "Just now when I was boating on the lake, I ran into Princess Pingting. We had a great conversation, so I invited her to join me on the royal pleasure boat. I wonder which distinguished guest wanted to punish me severely?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and everyone was stunned.
