I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Cui Shuyan nodded and responded: "Yes, she was just pretending."

Since the Daliang delegation chose to come to the capital of Daqi, it means that they attach great importance to this mission.

For such an important matter, we must be extremely cautious.

So, how could a princess who was able to enter the capital with the Daliang delegation be an impulsive and irritable one?

Unless, impulsiveness and irritability are just superficial symptoms.

Such appearances have always been the most deceptive.

"But she was about to whip you just now."

You know, a whip is not so easy to control.

"This is the imperial palace, and there are many guards, both overt and covert. Putting all that aside, you are with me. Princess Zhuyue is quite skilled, so she can naturally tell that you know Kung Fu. You are so close to me, and you have every chance of stopping me. So, in the final analysis, she is not afraid of hurting me at all, but can take this opportunity to test your skills."

"This Princess Zhuyue has a deep mind. What exactly does she want to do?"

"I don't know. It's not a good thing anyway. We must be careful. It's always right to be careful about everything."

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the venue for today's banquet - Nuanfeng Pavilion.

This Nuanfeng Pavilion is located in the northwest corner of the Imperial Garden. It is a very large place with underground heating, so it is very warm.

In addition, there are many precious flowers and plants placed here, emitting bursts of fragrance.

When Cui Shuyan came over, she saw that the wife of Duke Zhao, Zhao Simin, Madam He and Princess Yun had already arrived.

Cui Shuyan went over to greet them one by one, then returned to her seat and sat down.

As per the rules, her seat was next to Princess Yun's.

After sitting down, Cui Shuyan did not notice the figure of Princess Heshuo.

At this time, Princess Yun came over and said, "Shuyan, according to His Majesty's order, the eldest princess and all the princesses will not attend today's banquet."

Cui Shuyan nodded: "Okay, thank you for telling me."

She found that today's banquet was different from previous ones.

In the past, according to the rules, male and female relatives would not appear in the same place.

But today is different. Perhaps to show hospitality, a lot of screens are placed in the center of the Nuanfeng Pavilion.

On the other side of the screen are the male relatives.

At this time, there were a lot of footsteps coming from next door.

Among them, Cui Shuyan heard Xie Xingyuan's voice.

He seemed to have come with the Daliang delegation.

I heard that this time, the highest-ranking person in the Daliang delegation was the regent of Da Qi, whose surname was Yelu and name was Wei.

Yelu Wei is the younger brother of the current Emperor of Daliang. He has been the regent since the Emperor of Daliang ascended the throne. He is now a very important figure in Daliang.

Not long after they sat down, the eunuchs outside came to announce: "Your Majesty has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"

In an instant, everyone present stood up to welcome the arrival of Emperor Zhaowu and the Empress.

After the Emperor and Empress arrived, everyone bowed and took their seats one by one.

At this moment, Princess Zhuyue in red walked in from outside.

Now, she did not have a whip in her hand. After coming in, she bowed deeply to Emperor Zhaowu.

When she raised her head again, there were already traces of tears on her face. She said sadly, "Your Majesty, Zhuyue has something to ask for your help."

Emperor Zhaowu could not help but be a little surprised: "I wonder if Princess Zhuyue has anything that needs my help?"

"Your Majesty, I know that when Prince Xie of your country was in the northern border, he and I secretly agreed to spend our lives together. But after he returned to the capital, we never heard from each other again. Zhuyue knows that it is not appropriate to bring up this matter now, but Zhuyue has sought him out privately, and he completely denied what happened back then. Zhuyue has no choice but to seek your help."

"Is this true?" Emperor Zhaowu was stunned and looked at Xie Xingyuan on the other side. "My dear Lord Xie, what do you think about this?"

Hearing this, Cui Shuyan felt a little uneasy.

This may seem like a trivial matter, but it is not.

This matter concerns Princess Zhuyue, and now is the first time that the Daliang delegation has come to the capital. At this time, any small matter may turn into a big one.

From the other side of the screen, Xie Xingyuan's resounding words came: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case. When I was in the northern border, I did meet Princess Zhuyue, who was dressed as a man. But at that time, I didn't know she was a woman, and I didn't know she was Princess Zhuyue of Daliang. If I had known, I would never have had anything to do with her."

As soon as Xie Xingyuan finished speaking, before Emperor Zhaowu said anything else, Princess Zhuyue started crying: "Xie Xingyuan, what you said is so simple. Can you clear yourself of everything by saying you didn't know? After all, you are a man, and I am the one who suffers!"

The sentence "I am the one who suffers the loss" makes people think a lot.

It goes without saying what kind of disadvantages women suffer when they confront men.

When Xie Xingyuan hears this, he will definitely refute it.

But, at this time, no matter what he refuted, it would only make things more chaotic.

So, after Princess Zhuyue finished speaking, Cui Shuyan did not give Xie Xingyuan a chance to speak. Instead, she sat there and asked leisurely, "Princess Zhuyue, please tell me, what loss did you suffer?"

Princess Zhuyue's eyes drifted over coldly: "You are Princess Xie, right? I know you are not happy about what happened today, but I have deep feelings for Prince Xie, so I came all the way to Da Qi to ask him for an explanation."

Cui Shuyan smiled faintly: "He can't give you this explanation."

"Why?"

"It is said that men are responsible for the outside affairs, while women are responsible for the inside affairs. When a man gets involved in any romantic affairs outside, it is always the mistress who has the final say. So in this matter, he has no say, and it is up to me, Princess Xie, to have the final say."

Cui Shuyan's words turned the conflict onto herself.

No matter what, Xie Xingyuan couldn't come out in person to prove anything.

If he had said something harsh, he would be openly trampling on Princess Zhuyue's face.

If he speaks lightly, he will not be able to prove his innocence.

Besides, Xie Xingyuan is of great importance to Da Qi, especially at this critical juncture when the Daliang delegation is here. Nothing can be elevated to the level of major issues between the two countries.

Therefore, she had to say this to turn this major event concerning the two countries into a domestic matter.

Princess Zhuyue reacted quickly. She looked at Cui Shuyan and asked, "I wonder what explanation Princess Xie is going to give me?"

"That depends on what explanation Her Royal Highness wants to give."

"Since he provoked me, he must be responsible for me. I want him to marry me."

Cui Shuyan smiled suddenly: "If Princess Zhuyue says so, then I can only say sorry. He has already married me. If there is another woman, she can only be a concubine."
