Quick Wear: Saving Three Thousand Matches

In the spacious hall, palace servants led the court officials to their designated seats according to their respective ranks.

The melodious and graceful sound of stringed instruments flows in the hall like the gurgling of water, crisp and pleasant to the ear; the light and graceful dancers have fluttering clothes and dancing moves that are moving, like fairies descending to earth.

The whole scene was extremely lively and dazzling, presenting a scene of prosperity.

At this moment, a sharp and long announcement sounded: "Princess Lai Huang has arrived!"

The singing and dancing stopped, and the dancers quickly stepped aside.

In an instant, everyone present turned their gazes towards the entrance of the hall.

I saw a woman in an extremely luxurious gold brocade dress walking towards me.

The woman had a delicate face, as beautiful as a blooming peach blossom, and like a fairy descended to the mortal world. She was breathtakingly beautiful and unparalleled in the world.

Especially her beautiful fox eyes, which are smart, cunning, clear as water, and the slightly upturned corners of her eyes carry a subtle charm that seems to be able to captivate people's souls, making people fall in love with them at first sight and unable to extricate themselves.

"Is this the legendary Princess Laihuang?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

"Princess Laihuang is so beautiful, she looks like a person walking out of a painting." Another person echoed.

"The Queen is already a beauty, but I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess is no less beautiful." Others sighed with emotion.

"That's right. Princess Lai Huang is so stunningly beautiful that all those noble ladies pale in comparison to her."

"Look at those ladies over there. Look at the way they're looking at the princess. It's as if they want to eat her alive."

"Haha, I wonder what kind of dragon among men can be worthy of this beautiful lady."

People were whispering to each other, praising Princess Laihuang's beauty and temperament.

"Lai Huang pays homage to Your Majesty, the Empress." Jin Jiusi stood in the palace and saluted Feng Qiansu and Qi Lingyue.

"Xiaojiu, come here quickly." Qi Lingyue waved to her happily and said softly, "You, you, your brother and I thought you were having fun outside and didn't want to come back."

Then, she asked Jin Jiusi to sit closest to her, opposite Yun Chenyu who was below Feng Qiansu.

"Continue playing the music..." The eunuch gave an order, and the singing and dancing continued.

The food at Jin Jiusi's table was the most abundant. Hong Que knelt behind her, staring at the snacks on the table from time to time.

She had already noticed it, so she smiled and picked up a plate of date paste cake and put it in Redbird's arms.

This smile made the elegantly dressed ladies at the banquet pale in comparison, and the young men from aristocratic families could not take their eyes off her, their eyes becoming more and more obsessed.

It was also the first time that Hongling saw her own princess smile like this, and she was so stunned that she forgot to react.

It wasn't until Jin Jiusi stuffed the date paste cake into her mouth that she came to her senses.

"Um, Your Highness..."

"Shh, be careful, don't get discovered."

Jin Jiusi stretched out his index finger, pointed at his lips, and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Only then did Hongque blush and silently swallow the date paste cake in her mouth, lowering her head and saying nothing.

Seeing that all the men around them were dazzled by Princess Laihuang, the noble ladies were so angry that they almost bit their teeth.

There are jealous, resentful, envious, and obsessed...

"Greetings to the King and Queen of Donghua. On behalf of the King of Beiyue, I congratulate Donghua on the successful hosting of this court meeting. I offer a special gift. May Donghua and Beiyue enjoy an everlasting friendship."

The North Vietnamese envoy was the first to step forward. Feng Qiansu raised his eyebrows and asked An Xi, who was standing below, to accept the gift.

"Then I thank the King of Beiyue for his kindness. The journey has been long and tiring for me, so I will go down and rest for a while. I have specially prepared some fine Donghua wine for you to enjoy."

"Thank you, Lord Donghua, for your hospitality. I am deeply grateful!"

The North Vietnamese envoy bowed respectfully and then slowly retreated.

The North Vietnamese envoys were the first to arrive. Upon seeing this, the envoys from other countries also hurried forward and presented their carefully prepared gifts one by one.

For a moment, the entire hall was bustling with activity.

However, at this moment, a deep and cynical voice suddenly rang out: "Lord of Donghua, I, Beiyue, have come this time. In addition to presenting generous gifts to Donghua, I also hope to marry your Princess Laihuang, thus establishing a friendly relationship between Qin and Jin."

Hearing this, Feng Qiansu, who was sitting on a high seat, suddenly had a cold look in his eyes, and stared at the person who spoke like a sharp sword.

The man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding a folding fan. He looked good, but his temperament was too turbid.

"Who are you?" Feng Qiansu asked coldly.

"To the Lord of Donghua, I am the Crown Prince of Beiyue, Nangong Huai."

The man just smiled and answered calmly.

After saying this, he gently waved the jade fan in his hand, looking very elegant.

"Humph! My Donghua nation is now at its peak, with well-trained soldiers and abundant food supplies, and a multitude of brave generals. Why should we even consider a marriage alliance with your North Vietnam? It's simply wishful thinking!"

A hot-tempered general couldn't contain his anger and started cursing on the spot.

"What does the King of Donghua think?" Nangong Huai ignored him and continued to look straight at the emperor on the dragon throne.

Feng Qiansu said with a cold face: "Lai Huang is my biological sister, a daughter of heaven, of unparalleled noble status. As long as she is willing, she can sit in this chair behind me. How can you marry her just because you want to?"

"Your Majesty, your words are wrong. Many rumors have been circulating about Princess Laihuang lately. Over time, I'm afraid they will undermine the foundation of Donghua. I, Beiyue, have come here today to propose marriage for the sake of the princess's reputation and Donghua."

These words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.

Everyone in the hall turned their gaze to Jin Jiusi. They were talking among themselves, with different expressions, but their eyes all revealed contempt and suspicion.

There have been no less than ten versions of rumors circulating among the people recently about Princess Laihuang.

Yun Chenyu looked at the various faces in front of the palace, his eyes changing from one to the next. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I have heard that the Crown Prince of Beiyue has a homosexual fetish. I wonder if it is true? If so, isn't it time for you, the Crown Prince, to stop?"

Nangong Huai's mind flashed, and his expression instantly turned gloomy. He tightly gripped the folding fan in his hand and said through gritted teeth, "Prime Minister Donghua, you can't say such things! This prince has always been a clean and self-disciplined prince. How could he have such a habit?"

"Oh? Then how could I, Princess Donghua, allow you to speak so recklessly here? The common people don't know right from wrong and don't understand reason. Are you, the Crown Prince, worse than the common people? If so, I think it's time for North Vietnam to appoint a wiser Crown Prince."

Yun Chenyu spoke calmly, raising the wine glass in his hand and looking at it carefully.

Nangong Huai stood up angrily, looking at Yun Chenyu viciously, "You..."

"Okay, let's call it a day on this marriage." Feng Qiansu said coldly.

Nangong Huai's face looked very ugly, but he didn't know what to say, so he bowed and sat down.
