After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

The three of them walked behind Jin Yuanyuan. Zuo Nai looked at Jin Yuanyuan with gentle eyes and a warm smile, trying to get close to her.

"Hello, Yuanyuan. I'm Zuo Ling's sister, Zuo Nai. I spoiled her at home and she has a stubborn temper. Don't blame her. If she did anything wrong, I apologize to you all."

She said this to Jin Yuanyuan. Among the people present, she seemed to only care about Jin Yuanyuan's opinion.

Zuo Nai's purpose was obvious, he thought that at their age, they couldn't see it.

But Jin Yuanyuan and He Linyuan both heard that her words were full of flattery, but they didn't know what the purpose behind it was.

Jin Yuanyuan stood up, chuckled, and pretended not to notice her little thoughts.

"Sister Zuo Nai, you don't have to apologize. Zuo Ling didn't do anything wrong. She just has a bad temper, is a little impatient, and is a little spoiled. These are nothing. After all, you are guests coming from afar. As the host, I must give in to you."

Zuo Nai's face twisted for a moment. Such obvious ridicule did not seem to hurt her much. She kept her composure and did not get angry, pretending not to understand.

He wanted to continue talking to Jin Yuanyuan and get close to her, so as to win her over to Dongying.

But Zuo Ling couldn't bear it at all. She walked over and knocked the freshly grilled meat out of Jin Yuanyuan's hand and threw it to the ground.

"Jin Yuanyuan, what's so great about you that you dare to laugh at me! You are not good people either. You reject me as an outsider and don't let me play with you. You still dare to despise me, but I haven't despised you yet!"

"You two fools, one is short and the other is lame, none of you are normal! The Emperor of Tianyuan Kingdom sent you to receive me, he is really blind!"

After saying that, she wiped her tears and ran away angrily.

Zuo Nai looked extremely unhappy. He apologized to Jin Yuanyuan and quickly caught up with the direction his sister left. Gu Xingruo also followed behind, wanting to continue watching the show.

The purpose of Jin Yuanyuan's words just now was to deliberately provoke Zuo Ling to get angry and make it impossible for Zuo Nai to get along with them.

But when she heard the word "shorty", she was really angry and pointed at Zuo Ling who was running away, her fingers trembling with anger.

"Shorty! How dare you say I'm short?! Is she blind? Tell me, am I short?"

She looked at Gu An and the other two, and they lowered their heads guiltily. She was indeed not tall.

Seeing that they were silent, Jin Yuanyuan became even more upset, "You guys, you guys really disappoint me. In your hearts, I have always been a dwarf, right?"

He Linyuan scratched his head, walked over and pulled her to sit in his wheelchair, and comforted her:

"Don't listen to her. You are short because you are young. In two years, you will definitely be taller than us. Don't pay attention to what she says. You meant to irritate her, but why are you so angry?"

Although this was true, she was still very angry when someone called her short. She was so angry that she couldn't eat. She only calmed down after eating two roasted rabbit legs.

Cheng Che sent people to protect Jin Yuanyuan. He heard the guards' reports about what they said, who they met, and what happened.

During the meal, Cheng Che deliberately brought up this matter in front of His Majesty.

"Princess Zuo Ling, how was your play with Yuan Yuan? Did she bully you?"

The emperor was enjoying his hot pot, and when he heard this, he asked perfunctorily:

"Yeah, Zuo Ling, how was your game just now?"

Jin Yuanyuan took the initiative without waiting for Zuo Ling to complain.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of little Princess Zuo Ling."

"Just now she was complaining to you, Your Majesty, about why we were allowed to accompany her. She said we were not accompanying her wholeheartedly, and that we were two idiots, one short and the other lame, and were not worthy of playing with her at all."

"I guess she also looks down on our Tianyuan Kingdom in her heart. It's all Yuanyuan's fault for not accompanying Princess Zuo Ling well."

After saying this, he took a big bite of mutton with a look of regret on his face.

If she says she is short, she will eat more meat to grow taller. She wants to grow into a towering tree and scare Zuo Ling to death!

Hearing this, the emperor looked displeased and looked at the envoy from Dongying with a smile on his face.

"Emissary, I remember that the territory of Dongying is not as big as a city of Tianyuan. Zuo Ling is so arrogant and looks down on Tianyuan. Have you expanded your territory? I would like to congratulate you."

These words frightened the leading envoy so much that he knelt down halfway through his meal. Zuo Ling and Zuo Nai also knelt down and apologized.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Princess Zuo Ling is young and ignorant. She was outspoken and did not intend to offend you."

"We, the Dongying Kingdom, have come here with the sincere intention of establishing friendly relations with Tianyuan. We have also brought millions of taels of gold, precious silk, and tens of thousands of horses to supply you. I hope Your Majesty will calm down."

The messenger grabbed his sleeve and cursed Zuo Ling in his heart. He should have not brought her out earlier. She only caused trouble.

If the Emperor of Tianyuan Kingdom gets angry and sends troops to attack, they will definitely destroy their country.

The emperor was just trying to intimidate people and didn't want to cause unnecessary disputes, as the people would be the ones who would suffer.

Seeing that he didn't pursue the matter, the messenger wiped his sweat.

The meal was dull and uneasy. The envoy from Toei Kingdom kept trying to please and test the emperor.

The emperor chatted idly, avoiding the main point and not wanting to respond to their questions.

After finishing his meal and returning to the tent, Zuo Nai looked at Zuo Ling with a reproachful look.

"Lingzi, repeat what your father told you before you came to Tianyuan Kingdom!"

It was rare to see her sister so angry, and Zuo Ling was a little scared.

"She told me to be careful with my words and actions, and not to speak without restraint and say anything. She told me that there are eyes watching us everywhere, and if we are not careful, we will be doomed."

"You still remember, I thought you had forgotten it all. Since you can't remember your father's instructions, I will keep an eye on you personally. From today on, you are not allowed to leave my sight!"

The emperor did not hold it against her even though she said such outrageous words today, but it was obvious that a rift had already formed between them. If she angered him, the consequences would be disastrous.

Zuo Ling looked aggrieved and her voice was tearful.

"I see. Then...then you keep looking at me. Are you not going to get married?"

The messenger spoke up at this time, "Princess, have you cultivated feelings for the emperor? Is there any hope that he will marry you?"

They came here this time for marriage. Marrying the emperor was the best choice. By becoming a concubine, they could give advice to the emperor and seek benefits for their Dongying country.

Zuo Nai shook his head, feeling irritated. "That emperor is stubborn and has seen all kinds of beauties. I went there and barely had a word with him before that old fox sent me to be taken care of by a concubine of one of the princes."

He would most likely not agree to marry that dog emperor, and might even firmly refuse the marriage.

The two were helpless at the moment. Their country was too weak to resist the powerful Tianyuan Kingdom.
