Qi Wuyou rolled her eyes and didn't argue with him. She lay in the carriage with her eyes closed to rest. She couldn't explain her love-brained mind.

She just couldn't understand why such a good emperor would have a love-brained mind?

By the time we arrived at the palace, it was already the end of the time.

Led by eunuchs, the two of them came to Chenghui Hall where the banquet was held.

They arrived late, as many court officials and envoys had already arrived.

Qi Wuyou glanced around before entering the room. It was crowded with people. As soon as they entered the room, a group of people looked at them.

Qi Wuyou: “…”(⊙_☉) No, they have tried their best to keep a low profile, why are they still so eye-catching?

Qi Wuyou tried his best to ignore those gazes and walked to his seat with Xuan Yelan.

She and Xuan Yelan were seated in the front row. After all, Xuan Yelan was the ruler of a country. If she wasn't the queen and princess of Qi, Xuan Yelan wouldn't have come at all.

When he walked to the front and took a look, he could see more people. Qi Wuyou took a quick look and found that there were actually a few familiar faces.

He Yun was the Prime Minister, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, so naturally his seat was at the front.

Qi Wuyou looked at the man and woman who were keeping their heads down and silent not far away, and curled their lips. Could the Emperor of Wu be really stupid? Why did he send these two guys again?

The brother and sister Wu Bi and Wu Jin were much more obedient this time. Since the moment Qi Wuyou came in, they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of being beaten again.

Fortunately, they didn't see the palace maid who beat people, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to stay there.

Before Qi Wuyou and Xuan Yelan sat down, Ye Ershi carefully checked everything on the table from beginning to end, and only after confirming that there were no problems did the two sit down.

Qi Wuyou and Xuan Yelan sat for a while. Emperor Qi hadn't come yet. Qi Wuyou had nothing to do, so she ate the fruit on the table. If she had known she would have to wait, she would have eaten something when Emperor Qi came. Now she was hungry from waiting.

Inadvertently, Qi Wuyou looked at the people sitting opposite him and pretended to be looking at them unintentionally.

Qi Wuyou frowned, pulled Xuan Yelan's clothes, covered his mouth with his sleeves and asked in a low voice, "Who is that over there?"

Xuan Yelan glanced at it casually and drank a sip of tea. "The second prince of Zhao, Zhao Ziyu, is a scum."

Qi Wuyou frowned after hearing this and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xuan Yelan's voice was cold, his eyes were filled with anger, "Don't you think he's looking at you with lustful eyes?"

Qi Wuyou was stunned after hearing this, he turned around to take a closer look, and they accidentally looked at each other. Zhao Ziyu turned his head away first.

Qi Wuyou: "..." Tsk, look at me, you are the one who feels embarrassed first.

Qi Wuyou tugged at Xuan Yelan's sleeve again, "I didn't feel it, did you see it wrong?"

Xuan Yelan's eyes widened. "You don't believe me. Men know men best. I can tell what he's thinking at a glance."

Qi Wuyou hurriedly comforted her, "Okay, okay, believe me, believe me." She shouldn't have provoked this jealous guy. In his eyes, he would dig out his eyes if anyone looked at her for more than a few seconds.

Qi Wuyou looked again and saw that there was a woman sitting next to them. She looked weak and frail. She looked over and smiled at him in a friendly manner.

Qi Wuyou quickly turned around and asked again, "Who is this? Are there any envoys or women?"

Xuan Yelan glanced at him with a hint of disdain and a look of disgust, "The eldest prince of Qing, Li Yun."

Qi Wuyou, (⊙_☉)

Prince? Male? Qi Wuyou looked carefully again and found that his chest was indeed flat.

A man in cross-dressing? I didn't notice it just now. Good job, brother, you are really brave. Qi Wuyou looked at Li Yun with admiration.

Li Yun was shocked when he met Qi Wuyou's gaze. He had seen too many looks of disgust and contempt, but this was the first time someone looked at him like that.

Suddenly, he was filled with curiosity about the little girl and couldn't help wanting to chat with her, with an unconscious smile on his face.

Xuan Yelan stretched out his arms, embraced Xuan Yelan in his arms, and gave Li Yun a warning look.

Li Yun laughed and rolled his eyes, what a stingy person.

Qi Wuyou knew that he was jealous again, so he stopped paying attention to Li Yun.

His eyes no longer wandered around randomly, and he sat at the table concentrating on eating fruit.

After a while, His Majesty the Emperor of Qi came to the banquet with Concubine Yin.

Even though the queen had become a decoration, they were not afraid of being laughed at when they brought a concubine to such important occasions as meeting envoys.

Qi Wuyou didn't care about what they thought. Let them laugh. Anyway, she was no longer a citizen of Qi. She didn't know whether the old emperor could still recognize her.

The Emperor of Qi sat down and rolled his cloudy eyes around. Only after being reminded by the eunuch beside him did he know who was who.

"Long time no see, my dear son-in-law," the Emperor of Qi said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces lit up.

Qi Wuyou rolled his eyes in his heart, "What a good son-in-law! The banquet hasn't even started yet, are you drunk?"

He glanced at me next to him and said with satisfaction, "You have become more handsome in recent years. Good, good, good."

Qi Wuyou knew that he probably had forgotten his name a long time ago, but he didn't care. He still stood up and saluted.

Xuan Yelan couldn't stand the look in his eyes, so he stood up and blocked Qi Wuyou's figure, performing an awkward junior's salute. "Long time no see, Emperor Qi."

Xuan Yelan had selectively ignored the title of virtuous son-in-law that the Emperor Qi had just mentioned.

The old man didn't care. After all, he had to rely on others for support, and Xuan Yelan's presence was already giving him face.

He turned around and asked the envoys from the other three countries.

The next step was to present gifts. Qi Wuyou asked Mei Xue to pick a jade ruyi, the Wu Kingdom presented a painting, the Zhao Kingdom presented porcelain, and the Qing Kingdom presented a pigeon egg-shaped laughing night pearl.

Qi Wuyou didn’t know anything about porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, but as far as night-shining pearls were concerned, she had many of them the size of eggs in her private collection.

In this comparison, her jade ruyi seems to be the most expensive. What a pity, it is too cheap for the old man.

The old man was quite fair. He returned a pair of cups to each person. They were quite ordinary. I guess they were from the same batch.

Qi Wuyou looked at the cup in her hand and frowned. There was still a piece missing from it. He was giving a defective product as a return gift and getting something for nothing.

Qi Wuyou turned his head and pursed his lips, but happened to meet Li Yun's gaze. Qi Wuyou panicked and smiled awkwardly, then quickly turned his head back.

Xuan Yelan also noticed Qi Wuyou's little action, and held Qi Wuyou's hand, whispering, "Behave yourself, be patient, we'll leave soon."

Qi Wuyou nodded, stopped wandering around, lowered his head, and ate his food peacefully.

In the eyes of the old Emperor Qi, the interaction between Xuan Yelan and Qi Wuyou was full of love. As long as his daughter could please Emperor Xuan, the State of Qi would not be in danger for the time being and his throne would be saved.

Of course, Concubine Yin also saw what the old Emperor Qi was thinking, and she glanced at Qi Wuyou inadvertently.

In fact, he looked the little girl up and down. He thought it was a relief for her that he didn't kill her that time.

She also remembered that Qi Wuyou became the queen as soon as she arrived in Xuan State, while she had been a concubine for so many years, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth.
