My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

"I think your reason seems very reasonable. Could it be that you despise the position of concubine and want to be the principal wife?" The queen's voice couldn't help but become a little colder.

She hated people who played cunning tricks in front of her the most. She wondered if Gu Lili said this in order to retreat in order to advance?

Although, with Gu Lili's looks, she is suitable to be the queen.

But the position of the queen has already been set in stone, and no one can change it.

Therefore, Gu Lili's little plan might be in vain.

Gu Lili quickly shook her head, "I have absolutely no such idea, Queen, everyone has the life they want. When I say I like rural life, it is truly from the bottom of my heart, and there is absolutely no falsehood."

Gu Lili had already knelt three times in the Queen's Palace before half an hour had passed.

This kind of life is definitely not what she likes.

Although, she did like Yin Jiuchen, Gu Lili absolutely could not choose a life she didn't like for a man.

Seeing that there was no false expression on Gu Lili's face, his expression eased slightly.

"Girl, why do you kneel down so easily? Hurry up and get up. We will discuss this matter after meeting the Fuso envoy today."

Gu Lili nodded and sat back down.

The rest of the time was spent chatting with the queen.

For example, he recounted how he learned the Fuso language.

For example, how did I discover sweet potatoes?

The queen listened with great interest. After all, she had grown up in the boudoir and had never heard of what Gu Lili said.

After chatting like this, it was almost noon.

"Empress, Princess, please move to Chaoyang Palace. The palace banquet is about to begin."

The Queen looked outside, nodded, and stood up first.

Gu Lili also followed the queen and went to Chaoyang Palace together.

After leaving the Queen's palace, the Queen sat on the sedan chair, and Gu Lili followed beside it.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, we finally arrived at Zhaoyang Palace.

As the sedan chair landed, the eunuch's slightly harsh voice was heard at the door.

"Empress, Princess Yongning is here!"

Gu Lili followed the Queen all the way to where the Chaoyang Palace Master was sitting.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"Your servant Gu Lili pays respect to His Majesty."

"See the Queen!"

The hall was filled with the sounds of people paying respects, and it was extremely lively.

A slightly weak voice came from above.

"Your Majesty, please stand up quickly. Princess Yongning, please stand up as well. Everyone, please stand up."

After everyone thanked the emperor, they watched the queen stand up first, and then everyone slowly stood up.

Gu Lili was clearly aware that countless eyes were looking at her.

Presumably, everyone wanted to see what this legendary extraordinary woman looked like.

Most people's eyes were filled with shock.

"Princess Yongning, please take a seat." said the emperor.

After Gu Lili expressed her gratitude, she was led by the eunuch to sit down.

After sitting down, Gu Lili glanced around the hall. Because they were going to negotiate with Fuso, all the people sitting in the hall were ministers, but there were no female relatives.

However, this does not apply to one person.

That was Yin Jiuchen. Next to Yin Jiuchen sat a woman with a dignified and elegant appearance. Gu Lili guessed that this should be Yin Jiuchen’s fiancée, Liu Qionghua.

At this time, Liu Qionghua was looking at Gu Lili, and Gu Lili smiled at Liu Qionghua.

Liu Qionghua also responded with a decent smile.

When looking at Yin Jiuchen, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Gu Lili felt a little pain in her heart for some reason.

And there was sadness and guilt in Yin Jiuchen's eyes.

Gu Lili guessed that the reason why Yin Jiuchen didn't come to see her the first time yesterday was probably because he had failed to keep his promise to her.

That's why he felt ashamed to face me, and that's why he never showed up.

Gu Lili nodded towards Yin Jiuchen and stared at the snacks and fruits in front of her.

In fact, Gu Lili had already anticipated this ending.

And it was the ending Gu Lili wanted.

However, when this ending becomes true, it is inevitable to feel a little unhappy.

However, Gu Lili feels that time can dilute everything.

Yin Jiuchen looked at Gu Lili, and his hand holding the wine glass unconsciously clenched.

Just as she was feeling sad, a voice that disgusted Gu Lili reached her ears.

It must be the Fuso envoy, because the language he spoke at that moment was the language that Gu Lili hated the most in her life, no doubt about it.

"Your Majesty, I, Fusang, am willing to submit to the Nanyue Kingdom."

Gu Lili looked up and saw the envoy from Fuso with shifty eyes.

"Princess, please translate it for me."

The emperor coughed and said to Gu Lili.

Originally, he should have met Gu Lili first, but he was too weak, so the Queen received Gu Lili first.

The Queen also told Gu Lili about today's affairs.

Gu Lili quickly stood up, bowed to the emperor, and translated the words of the Fuso envoy verbatim.

At this time, Gu Lili secretly looked at the emperor.

Seeing this, Gu Lili was almost frightened.

The emperor, who was sitting at the top, was so thin that his bones were visible, and his cheeks were sunken.

At this moment, he was half leaning on the dragon throne. The eunuchs behind him were paying close attention to the emperor's movements, fearing that he would fall to the ground accidentally, so they could help him up in time.

Perhaps due to long-term illness, the emperor's hair was almost white.

However, even though he was very weak, he still had a pair of sharp eyes, just like Yin Jiuchen, which made him intimidating without even getting angry.

Looking at the Emperor like this, it is really as the Empress said, he may not have much time left.

Originally, Nanyue Kingdom could have directly destroyed Fuso. Before that, Yin Jiuchen used Gu Lili's method to make all the soldiers of Fuso unconscious, and then sailed directly to the island where Fuso was located.

But I didn't expect that the king of Fuso was so shameless and smart.

Seeing that Yin Jiuchen was unstoppable, they captured all the women and children in the city and used them as a human wall to resist the attack from Nanyue Kingdom.

This made Yin Jiuchen unable to take action for a moment.

Unfortunately, Uncle Fa Cai left after giving us anesthetics and Kongming lanterns, and there is no extra anesthetic left now.

When two armies are at war, the most taboo thing is to kill innocent civilians.

Originally, Yin Jiuchen could have directly taken over Fuso in one fell swoop, regardless of the women and children in Fuso. History books would be written by the victorious side anyway.

At worst, all the people in Fuso will be wiped out.

But looking at the women and children standing in front of him, crying miserably, Yin Jiuchen thought of the people of Nanyue Kingdom.

So, that was not done.

The Fuso Kingdom, seeing that Yin Jiuchen did not take action but did not retreat, surrendered after repeated discussions and was willing to belong to the Nanyue Kingdom.
