Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Everyone was shocked, including Prime Minister Feng Linshang. He turned his head to look at Feng Xili who was at a loss behind him.

He could only step aside and signal her with his eyes: Go ahead, be careful.

She stepped out helplessly. Before she came, she received the formal princess's palace dress sent by the palace, and she knew that Emperor Qi Zhao was going to call her by name.

She was wearing a light purple brocade long dress embroidered with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns, full of ancient and fragrant atmosphere.

She wore an exquisite jade pendant around her waist, which was clear and translucent.

She wears a jade hairpin on her head, the body of which is carved with exquisite patterns, which makes her look noble and full of gorgeous elegance.

She had never been dressed so formally in all the time she had been here, and dozens of pairs of eyes were instantly focused on her.

Kang Jiuyi, who was not far from her, was stunned. Is this Xier?

But after not seeing each other for a while, why did she feel that Xier suddenly became unattainable?

Feng Xili suddenly felt like she was going on stage to receive an award. The various looks from the people around her made her very uncomfortable, because most of them implied disdain.

She noticed with her sharp eyes that several people were quietly tiptoeing under their clothes.

She sneered. They were engaging in such infighting when foreign envoys were visiting. They must have had enough of life!

Emperor Qi Zhao's eyes flickered on the high platform. He could see all the little movements of the people below, but he still smiled amiably and looked at Feng Xili as if she was his closest relative.

Suddenly his eyes narrowed and his gaze fell on her bandaged right hand.

Is your hand injured?

Feng Xili lifted her skirt and kicked with her toes towards the ankle that was blocking her way. The person's body tilted, and she lowered her skirt to block her kick. With outsiders present, it was not appropriate to make a scene.

"Your Majesty, may you be well." She walked to the bottom and saluted respectfully, with a frank and natural look in her eyes. Then, Emperor Qi Zhao arranged for her to sit at the second table on the right.

After that, the envoys from the State of Chu came with gifts to meet the emperor. The second and third princes of the State of Chu flattered Emperor Qi Zhao, and then the highlight came.

Among the five beautiful princesses of Chu State, the youngest is Princess Yunping, who is fifteen years old and ranks ninth.

There was also a Princess Yihe, who was eighteen years old and the fourth in line.

The remaining three princesses have not yet received titles, including the fifth princess Mu Lingyin, who Mu Lanxun pays special attention to.

The five princesses were good at playing, singing, dancing and solo performances, which dazzled everyone.

What was strange was that Emperor Qi Zhao kept his eyes half-closed the whole time, sitting motionless, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He would reward the princesses in the audience every time they finished their performances, which was a true fairness and justice.

Feng Xili bit her lip to hold back her laughter in the audience. She looked at the close relatives on the stage and knew that this emperor was not a lustful man. Just looking at his harem, she could tell that there were only four concubines and one imperial concubine, not many people at all.

There are only two princes and princesses in total, which is really pitiful.

"Your Majesty, our dynasty has recently discovered a number of rare treasures, and the King has specifically instructed us to bring them to you as a tribute."

The Chu envoy waved his hand and brought over a dozen large boxes. "We have heard that Your Majesty is handsome and elegant, so we have sent five princesses here, hoping to establish friendly relations between our two countries."

The envoy knelt and stated the real purpose of his visit.

Emperor Qi Zhao smiled kindly: "No hurry, you have come from a long way, it would be fine if you could rest for a few days."

He was practicing Tai Chi, neither saying good nor bad.

The envoys also took advantage of the situation and praised it repeatedly.

She sat with her back straight, her body stiff, trying hard to focus her eyes on the show.

Although Emperor Qi Zhao did not announce it to the world in a big way, he gave her unique care on this occasion today, which was obviously to remind everyone that this was a real princess and they should keep their eyes open when going out in the future.

The left general Xiao Ze, who was sitting at the end, had hatred in his eyes. He looked at Feng Xili, then stared at Emperor Qi Zhao, sneered in his heart, drank a glass of wine, and quietly left.

"General Xiao, are you not feeling well?" After walking out of the banquet hall, he stroked the small wooden box in his arms, but when he turned a corner, he was startled by a woman who suddenly appeared and stopped him.

He expressionlessly retracted his palm blade that had been chopped off mid-strike, took a step back, and bowed, "Miss Luo, you must never appear like this again. If I hurt you, wouldn't I be unforgivable?"

Luo Yurong blushed innocently and couldn't help but take another step closer. "It's okay. I know General Xiao won't hurt me."

Xiao Ze was speechless. Wasn't this girl too bold? This was in the imperial palace, with so many people coming and going and watching her!

However, he hadn't seen Yin'er for a long time, and she must be very lonely in this cold palace.

"General, I just saw a few new koi in the pond over there. They are very beautiful. Can you accompany me to see them?" Luo Yurong prefers pink, and today she is wearing a delicate soft gauze dress.

Xiao Ze's eyes flashed with disgust, but he smiled flatteredly: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse."

The palace banquet lasted for two hours. Emperor Qi Zhao sat in the main seat, with Concubine Xian and Concubine Liang sitting beside him. Feng Xili could only sit upright, eating some fruit and cakes from time to time, and even drank two glasses of wine for the first time.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Emperor Qi Zhao with resentment. What did he mean by putting her in front of him? She couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

"Your Majesty, when Li You came here, he saw that the lotus flowers by the pond were very refreshing and he wanted to go and see them." She really couldn't sit still and felt like she was about to take root and sprout.

Emperor Qi Zhao smiled and waved his hand casually.

She quickly bowed, turned around and ran away.

However, she accidentally caught a glimpse of another figure, and that person followed her aunt and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Hmm? These two?

When Feng Xili came back from the toilet, she walked towards the palace gate without looking back.

I haven't seen Tianxu today. What did he plan to do? He didn't even attend the palace banquet.

She felt a little uneasy, so she quickened her pace, "Xia Feng, we..."

Xia Feng was seen standing there from a distance. Before she could finish her sentence, someone covered her mouth and dragged her aside.

Xia Feng's eyelids twitched, and she turned to the other side as if she didn't see it.

"Woo woo woo!" She was startled and felt inexplicably familiar at this moment.

"Sister, it's me." The voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. Only the breath from the mouth penetrated the eardrum and instantly spread throughout the body.

She shuddered all over and instantly lost her temper. The two glasses of wine she had just drunk suddenly made her feel a little drunk.

She leaned dizzyly against the chest behind her. The steady and strong heartbeat on her back formed a sharp contrast with her own violent heartbeat.

She suddenly felt angry. It made no sense that a young man like him should always seem more stable and mature than herself.

Was it because the original owner trained him too well?

Her head was dizzy, and she turned around under the influence of alcohol and put her arms around the other person's neck.

Mu Lanxun was shocked. This was the first time her sister had taken the initiative.

"Sister?" He leaned closer to look at her, but smelled a faint smell of alcohol.

"It's so boring here, I want to go back." She muttered, why is this embrace so comfortable?

The fruity smell of alcohol hit him, and he felt a little drunk. He looked down at her with half-closed eyes and gently touched her cheek: "Sister, do you know who I am?"

Feng Xili opened her eyes, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "You are my Mu Mu!"

The next moment, he pulled his hand from her waist back into his arms, and looked directly at her with a fiery and bold gaze: "Your...what?"
