It turned out that when King Anawrahta of Pagan heard that the Emperor of Great Chu had arrived in Dali Prefecture, he sent an envoy to the border, respectfully handed over the letter of credence, and requested an audience with the Emperor of Great Chu.

The humble attitude of the King of Pagan greatly pleased Nangong Qinghe.

He smiled and said, "Draft an imperial decree to invite King Anawrahta of Pagan to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is held in the palace on Yuji Island in Erhai Lake.

When the emperor was inspecting southern Xinjiang, Zhang Wanwan and three other concubines brought the eldest prince here. They were responsible for preparing the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

The Erhai Lake has beautiful scenery, with rippling blue waves and colorful flowers, which is refreshing.

Zhang Wanwan and the other two also loved the scenery here.

Lu Meiyi kept saying that she didn't want to go back to the palace and wanted to stay here forever!

Isn’t it the same for Zhang Wanwan and Cui Jin?

It's a pity that each of them has a family behind them and cannot do whatever they want.

Especially Zhang Wanwan. The Zhang family was tragically wiped out, and she was still burdened with the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Zhang family.

The eldest prince Nangong Yuanhong had a great time. The only thing that made him disappointed was that Xie’s younger brothers and sisters did not come with him.

Cui Jin comforted him, "In two days, the prince's aunt will bring them here."

Lu Meiyi also smiled and said, "Xie's brothers and sisters will also return to Beijing together. Your Highness will have a long time to spend with them."

Nangong Yuanhong was very happy and looked up at Cui Jin: "Mother, is it true? The brothers and sisters of the Xie family are going back to Beijing with us?"

“Yeah.” Cui Jin said with a smile.

She decided to summon the twins into the palace frequently in the future.

Childhood sweethearts, innocent and inseparable, with this kind of affection of growing up together, Xie Buli can't run away!

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Nangong Qinghe brought civil and military officials to the Yujishi Island Palace.

The scenery of Erhai Lake has been unanimously praised by everyone.

Most of the officials were graduates of the imperial examination system and were adept at composing poems and couplets. The talented scholars were inspired to write down countless poems in praise of Erhai Lake.

Nangong Qinghe smiled and said, "Okay! During the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, everyone will write a poem. If you can't write one, you will be fined three cups of wine."

Jiang Li was immediately upset. Isn't this bullying?

"Your Majesty, can I ask someone to write for me?"

Nangong Qinghe was a little surprised: "Ali, you can't write poetry?"

He also didn't expect that there was something she couldn't do!

"Your Majesty, no gold is pure, and no one is perfect." Jiang Li said with a bitter face.

"Hahahaha, confirmed."

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, lanterns of various colors are hung on the Yuji Island Palace, and the bright lights on the clear water are as beautiful as a fairyland.

King Anawrahta of Pagan, accompanied by Feng Wuhu and an interpreter, landed on Yuji Island.

He also brought his daughter, Princess Ruili.

"Ruili" means "beautiful flower". Princess Ruili is named just like her. Although her skin is not as fair as those of the women in the Central Plains, she is also charming and beautiful, with a unique style.

She was dressed particularly gorgeously today, wearing a golden tube top, a bright scarlet sarong, a golden crown on her head, and a layer of veil on the outside, revealing her full breasts and slender waist.

She wore a belt decorated with pearls around her waist, and the hanging tassels swayed with her steps.

She was extremely confident in her appearance, but she didn't expect that the young official who came to pick them up would not even look at her!

Princess Ruili snorted. Perhaps the Dali prefect didn't dare to look at her?

Who knew that Feng Wuhu was secretly complaining that the women in the wild lands had no shame and dressed so revealingly, which was really immoral!

In the palace hall, everyone has taken their seats.

Nangong Qinghe and Zhang Wanwan sat in the middle, with Cui Jin and Nangong Yuanhong on the left, and Lu Meiyi on the right.

Jiang Li and Xie Chang'an, as the two people with the highest titles here, sat in front of all the officials, on the left side below the emperor's throne.

At this time, the eunuch announced: "King Anawrahta of Pagan has arrived with Princess Ruili!"

Nangong Qinghe said calmly: "Explain."

King Anawrahta of Pagan and Princess Shweli, accompanied by two interpreters, walked into the hall.

The two put their hands together and bowed deeply: "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu."

"King Anawrahta has come here in person. Thank you for your hard work on the journey." Nangong Qinghe smiled slightly.

When the two looked up, they were stunned. The Emperor of Chu was so young!

But when she saw that he had clear features and was very handsome, Princess Ruili couldn't help but fall in love with him.

The concubines around him were as beautiful as spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with their own strengths, and all were rare beauties.

When Princess Ruili thought of the purpose of this trip, her cheeks turned red and her eyes were full of love as she glanced at the young emperor.

King Anawrahta ordered his attendants to present gifts, a box full of rubies and sapphires, and a box of jadeite with extremely fine water content.

Nangong Qinghe smiled slightly: "King Anawrahta is thoughtful, please give me a seat."

The eunuch then led the two men to their seats.

Princess Ruili's eyes turned and she was suddenly stunned.

Who is that person?

There is such a handsome and heroic man in the world!

King Anuruddha followed her gaze and was also stunned.

The man and woman sitting on the left side of the Emperor of Great Chu had beautiful faces and extraordinary temperaments, like gods.

Princess Ruili blushed and whispered to King Anawrahta, "Father, I want to marry him!"

The interpreter following behind them was an official from the former Dianyue Kingdom. He naturally knew who this man and woman were, and couldn't help but frowning secretly.

Why would you fall for anyone else? Why do you fall for this god of war who can “cut through the dangers of nature with one sword”?

The wife of the God of War is the noble prince of the Great Chu. She is even more difficult to mess with. Even the war elephants of the Dianyue Kingdom listen to her obediently.

You want to steal her husband. Are you tired of living?

"Who is that handsome man?"

After sitting down, Princess Ruili couldn't wait to ask the interpreter.

The interpreter whispered the identities of the two men to King Anawrahta and Princess Ruili, and repeatedly emphasized how "terrible" they were.

Especially the Prince of Jing'an, don't mess with her no matter who you try. The Prince of Nanyue and the Prince of Nanlang are lessons for us!

The two were cheated out of a huge sum of money by Prince Jing'an and almost lost everything.

When Princess Ruili heard that the handsome man was actually the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition Army, the legendary god of war who could "cut through the dangers of nature with one sword", she fell in love with him even more. She stared at Xie Changan with her watery eyes, and her eyes conveyed her affection.

Jiang Li naturally received the "signal" from the princess. She leaned close to Xie Changan's ear and whispered with a smile, "Brother Changan, it seems that the princess is targeting you."

Xie Changan snorted coldly: "Ugly people often do strange things, don't pay attention to her."

Jiang Li chuckled: "She looks good, but a little dark. She has an exotic look."

Xie Changan looked disgusted and said, "Madam, why are you looking at her? It's polluting your eyes."

Jiang Li chuckled: "After looking at her and then looking at my husband, I find him even more pleasing to the eye."

Xie Changan was overjoyed and smiled: "Only a girl as pretty as my little raccoon can catch my eye."

The two of them were whispering in an intimate manner. Princess Ruili had a gloomy face and jealousy in her eyes.
