The regent princess is strong and cool, and the beautiful prince loves her every day

Su Yueqing and her group followed Helan Ci into the Xiling Palace, where they were treated to delicious food and drinks and waited for the palace banquet in the evening.

As for Helan Ci, after returning to the palace and settling Su Yueqing and others, he went into the study, met with the ministers, and conveyed the matter of the Hundred Years Truce Covenant to the ministers.

When the ministers heard that the Regent Prince and Princess Regent of Beiming were coming to visit in person, they did not dare to raise any objection.

After all, the Regent of Beiming is a threat to the four countries of Dongli, Xiling, Nanjiang and Beiming.

In addition, in the battle between Beiming and Dongli, Beiming Regent Princess Su Yueqing was extremely brave and was in no way inferior to Beiming Regent.

Now, in addition to the Regent Xiao Mochen, the four countries are also wary of the Regent Princess Su Yueqing.

They, Xiling, were originally sandwiched between the two great powers, Dongli and Beiming. Now that Dongli has been defeated and signed a truce agreement with Beiming, they naturally dare not make any small moves.

This hundred-year truce treaty must be signed.

Because the ministers of Xiling were all people who knew the times, Helan Ci did not hear any opposing voices.

The sun was setting, the light was dimming, and night was gradually falling. The entire Xiling Palace gradually became lively, with lights and decorations everywhere, a brilliant scene.

At the palace gate, ministers came in one after another with their families for the banquet.

Su Yueqing and Xiao Mochen also changed their clothes, appeared at the palace banquet, and sat at the top seats.

Jiang Biechen and Leng Qingqiu, as messengers from the North Sea, sat next to Su Yueqing and Xiao Mochen.

Baizhi and Baishao still stood behind Su Yueqing as maids to prevent any accidents.

As more and more ministers and their families took their seats, the palace became more and more lively, with whispers of discussion rising and falling.

Because the ministers had been notified early in the morning that tonight's banquet was specially held to welcome the Regent Prince and Princess Regent of Bei Ming, they were not surprised to see Xiao Mochen and his wife at the table.

Seeing that the seats were full and all the ministers who were supposed to attend the banquet had arrived, Helan Ci stood up and said, "The Prince Regent and the Princess Regent of Beiming have come from afar and have worked hard on the journey. I would like to offer you a toast first."

As he spoke, Helan Ci picked up the wine glass beside him and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Yueqing and Xiao Mochen also raised their glasses, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for hosting the banquet."

After saying that, the two of them also picked up their wine glasses and drank them all.

The banquet hadn't officially started yet, but Helan Ci had already toasted, showing full respect to Xiao Mochen and Su Yueqing.

When other Xiling ministers saw this scene, they knew that the emperor attached great importance to the Beiming Regent and his wife, and they felt even more awe in their hearts.

There was toasting and singing at the banquet, with dancers wearing fluttering clothes and singing melodiously.

The glazed tiles reflect the magnificent palace, and joy is everywhere.

After three rounds of drinks, Helan Ci saw that the time was almost up, and said, "My dear ministers, the Regent and his wife are here to discuss the 100-year truce."

"During the day, I have discussed this with the ministers. If the ministers have no objection, I will sign the treaty on behalf of Xiling and promise not to start a war within a hundred years."

"If you disobey, you will die a miserable death!"

After Helan Ci finished speaking, the eunuch held the truce agreement in both hands and handed it to Helan Ci.

The ministers in the audience looked at each other, then stood up and saluted in the direction of Helan Ci, "Your Majesty, we have no objection. Everything will be arranged by your majesty."

"Okay!" This is what Helan Ci was waiting for. "Since all the ministers have no objection, I will sign the treaty."

As Helan Ci spoke, he picked up the pen handed to him by the young eunuch, waved his hand, and signed the covenant.

Su Yueqing watched Helan Ci's actions, and when she saw him sign, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Next, only southern Xinjiang remains.

After Helan Ci signed, he took another look at the covenant, then closed it, "Prince Regent, Princess Regent, I have signed the covenant. From now on, Xiling and Beiming will be friends forever!"

As he spoke, Helan Ci signaled the eunuch to give the signed covenant to Su Yueqing.

Su Yueqing looked at the covenant that had been signed again, raised her head to look at Helan Ci, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, and it is a blessing for the people of Xiling!"

After the covenant was signed, the banquet continued and the noble ladies of Xiling began to perform their talents, making the party even more lively.

The so-called performance talent is to show up in front of the emperor.

If the emperor takes a fancy to you, it will be a blessing for the family.

Helan Ci looked at the ladies dancing gracefully in the audience. They were elegant, noble, and beautiful like fairies, but he had no interest at all.

He knew that these people were interested in his power and status, not him as a person.

Helan Ci felt a little depressed in his chest, so he poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Perhaps because he was a little tipsy, Helan Ci's gaze unconsciously fell on Leng Qingqiu in the audience.

Leng Qingqiu sat there quietly. Under the bright moonlight, she looked even more cold and beautiful. Compared with the noble ladies who were dancing gracefully and dressed exquisitely on the stage, she had two completely different temperaments.

Helan Ci looked a little dazed and completely forgot to hide his gaze.

Because Helan Ci's gaze was too sharp, Leng Qingqiu followed his gaze.

Their eyes met, and there was a hint of awkwardness and ambiguity in the air.

The moment he looked into Leng Qingqiu's eyes, Helan Ci's heart suddenly trembled, his breathing seemed to stop, and an unknown heat surged through his body.

Leng Qingqiu's eyes were also cold and indifferent, without any extra emotions.

When she looked at him, there was no deference or flattery, but instead a look of doubt and scrutiny.

Leng Qingqiu's heart trembled when he looked into Helan Ci's eyes.

Helan Ci's eyes were clear and pure, even with a hint of helplessness and loneliness, as well as admiration for her.

Leng Qingqiu was a little puzzled. She had never met the Emperor of Xiling before and had only met him once this morning. The look in his eyes when he looked at her seemed not quite innocent.

Leng Qingqiu didn't know the reason, nor did she want to know the reason, so she looked away and no longer met Helan Ci's gaze.

Seeing Leng Qingqiu's eyes turning away, Helan Ci felt a little lost.

He asked himself if he was a lecher who was tempted by beauty, so why did he act so presumptuous when he saw Leng Qingqiu, without any gentlemanly demeanor at all.

But for some reason, he always had a special feeling when he saw Leng Qingqiu.

This girl is cool and clean, and gives people a sense of tenacity.

Helan Ci shook his slightly tipsy head. He must have drunk too much and actually had some sexual thoughts.

Su Yueqing and Xiao Mochen were enjoying the food as if no one was around, and did not notice the sparks between Helan Ci and Leng Qingqiu.

Otherwise, Su Yueqing would be able to tell at a glance that Helan Ci fell in love with their senior sister at first sight.

As for Jiang Biechen, he also had a lot on his mind.

Ever since he heard Qingqing say 'a lifetime together' in the morning, from morning till now, his mind has been filled with the scene of Mu Qingge walking towards him in a red wedding dress.

So much so that he didn't notice what happened at the table at all, let alone the not-so-innocent looks from his senior sister and Helan Ci.

The music ended, the banquet gradually came to an end, and the guests in the hall gradually dispersed.

Su Yueqing and her group were temporarily arranged by Helan Ci to rest in the palace bedroom.

"Qingqing, Your Majesty, since we are in Xiling, you might as well stay a little longer and take in the scenery of Xiling." Helan Ci dismissed his attendants and resumed his usual way of interacting with Qingqing and the others.

As he spoke, Helan Ci glanced at Leng Qingqiu out of the corner of his eye.

Su Yueqing thought about it, then shook her head, "Southern Xinjiang has not signed the Hundred Years Truce Treaty yet, so we have to rush to Southern Xinjiang."

"It doesn't matter. There will be many opportunities in the future. My husband and I will definitely come to Xiling again!" Su Yueqing said, "Right now, we do have something important to do."

Helan Ci hesitated, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay! Next time for sure!"

"Next time for sure!" Su Yueqing said cheerfully, "See you next time. Maybe it will be the time when His Majesty marries a queen."

Speaking of this, Helan Ci glanced at Leng Qingqiu inconspicuously.

"Qingqing, when are you planning to leave?" Helan Ci did not delve into the topic and changed the subject.

"Tomorrow, to avoid any further complications, this matter needs to be finalized as soon as possible." Su Yueqing replied.

What Su Yueqing said was only one aspect. On the other hand, Su Yueqing wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and see what the third layer of space was!
