Even the Queen Mother couldn't say anything at this moment.

After all, one of them has made great military achievements, and the other has benefited the people, so their prestige among the people must be extremely high.

And there was no situation where his achievements were too great to threaten the emperor, because Shen Shaoyu did not have any real power in his hands. He handed over power immediately after the war. Not only did he gain the emperor's complete trust, but he was also not short of money.

Moreover, this also improves the status of women and is beneficial to women.

She had been opposing them before only for other purposes, but now that her purpose had been achieved, she could just take advantage of the situation to back off. After all, they took advantage of the opportunity of their visit to Southern Xinjiang to prevent her from opposing them.

Things went smoothly and Yuan Junyao was very happy.

Seeing that no one objected, Xia Nanxing happily ordered a meeting with the envoys from Southern Xinjiang.

The whole place was indeed silent and no one objected, but some people had extremely ugly expressions, and they looked at Yuan Junyao as if they wanted to eat her.

This person is Yang Yaoyao.

She never thought that the emperor would grant Shen Shaoyu a marriage.

She never expected Yuan Junyao to be so powerful. This huge gap made her feel extremely unbalanced. No wonder Shen Shaoyu looked down on her.

How come Yuan Junyao is so powerful?

Why is she so powerful?

She is not only a princess now, but also an official in the court.

Now the emperor has granted her a marriage with Shen Shaoyu.

So what should she do?

Is she going to be a concubine like her aunt?

She looked at Shen Shaoyu infatuatedly, her heart and eyes filled with him at this moment. She would not marry anyone other than Shen Shaoyu in this life. Looking around the entire capital, there was no better man than him.

In her heart, even the princes could not compare to her.

The prince was just lucky enough to be born into the royal family, but the outcome was unknown until the fate of the country was decided.

If he cannot ascend the throne, no one knows what the outcome will be.

Shen Shaoyu is different. He has reached where he is today entirely through his own strength, and he is indifferent to fame and fortune. His free and easy attitude fascinates her.

If she wanted to marry a prince, she could only marry the fifth prince. It would be impossible for her to marry other princes because of their family power.

The fifth prince had little hope of ascending the throne, so she didn't want to take the gamble.

"The Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang has arrived~The Princess of Southern Xinjiang has arrived~"

Even after what happened on the palace road, they still had to bite the bullet and attend the palace banquet.

Otherwise, if they leave, it will be considered as being scared away, which will bring shame from Southern Xinjiang to Beiming. All the civil and military officials in Beiming will laugh to death.

Gu Kui had adjusted his mentality along the way and his complexion looked normal, but Guli was different. Her little face was so pale that it made people feel distressed just by looking at it.

The brother and sister no longer had their previous arrogance, and bowed obediently to Xia Nanxing.

The smile on Xia Nanxing's face grew wider, and he couldn't help but glance at Yuan Junyao and the bouquet. He must have felt relieved.

He had been tortured by the poison in southern Xinjiang over the years, and now he could finally get some relief.

Although he couldn't do anything to the brother and sister, it was still satisfying to be able to severely strike a blow to their arrogance.

Besides, he also killed the eldest prince of southern Xinjiang that year.

Even though he was dying, at least he was still alive and had lived for so many years.

Xia Nanxing smiled and said, "No need to be polite. Please take a seat."

The worst thing is that the position assigned to the people from Southern Xinjiang is below Shen Shaoyu and Yuan Junyao.

The bouquet was lying between the two tables.

At this moment, everyone in the hall was looking at the brother and sister.

It would be a great disgrace if they didn't dare to go over.

Guli's legs were weak, but she also understood that she couldn't embarrass herself at this moment.

Gu Kui walked calmly towards the bouquet and motioned Gu Li to go to the other side.

No matter what, Yuan Junyao didn't dare to do anything to them in this big scene.

But every step closer is terrifying, but you still have to go forward.

It was not until he sat down successfully that he realized how weak his legs were. But Huaqiu was lying there lazily, her tiger eyes slightly narrowed as if she was half asleep, and she didn't even look at him.

Eunuch Zhao observed the expressions of the guests, flicked his whisk, and the palace banquet officially began with the sound of brass music.

Amid the melodious music, the dancers came in with their clothes fluttering, adding a touch of elegance and joy to the banquet. The palace maids went in and out in an orderly manner and served wine and food.

Guli was listless and had no interest in eating, singing or dancing. It was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the shock.

As the crown prince of a country, Gu Kui naturally cannot be limited to this level of courage. Even though he has lost his arrogance at this moment, he has not forgotten his purpose.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the singing and dancing ended, and Gu Kui stood up with his wine glass.

"Your Majesty, I offer this glass of wine to you and wish you good health."

Hearing his profound words, Xia Nanxing smiled slightly and raised his glass in response.

"Then I'll borrow the prince's good words..."

Gu Kui curled his lips into a smile, tilted his head back to drink the wine in his glass, and after sitting down, he smiled and said, "The genius doctor of Medicine King Valley is indeed amazing. Yesterday, my little sister was naughty and competed with the genius doctor of Medicine King Valley in poison techniques. This morning, two of my subordinates in Southern Xinjiang who were poisoned are dead."

Xia Nanxing pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Gu Kui looked at Yuan Junyao with a smile.

Yuan Junyao raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm not from Medicine King Valley, and I don't know much about medicine and poison techniques, but my fiancé's cousin is the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley. I just don't think anyone from Medicine King Valley needs to participate in this competition."

Gu Kui's smiling face froze for a moment, and he really wanted to strangle the woman in front of him.

Huaqiu sensed the malice and suddenly stood up.

The stiff smile on Gu Kui's face disappeared immediately.

But Huaqiu just stretched, changed her position and continued to lie down.

There was a meaningful smile on Yuan Junyao's face. She reached out and stroked Huaqiu's head. Anyway, the damage was not great, but it was very insulting.

In the entire hall, who among the people from Bei Ming would not feel relieved?

But Yuan Junyao felt an unfriendly gaze. The person was not from southern Xinjiang. She looked around but couldn't find out who it was.

Gu Kui adjusted his mindset and said with a smile, "There are many hidden talents in Beiming. I have finally seen them today. In fact, we came to Beiming for another important matter."

Yuan Junyao narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had guessed what he was going to say.

Xia Nanxing and Shen Shaoyu remained calm and waited for what would happen next.

Gu Kui's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he smiled and said, "Many years ago, Bei Ming and Nan Jiang fought a great war. My uncle was defeated by the emperor and lost his life. But before he died, he risked his life to give the emperor my Nan Jiang poison..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the quiet hall suddenly exploded with people talking about it.

At the same time, spies from various palaces outside the palace also went to deliver the message.

Concubines are not qualified to attend such formal palace banquets.

Gu Kui stared at Xia Nanxing's expression.

Unexpectedly, Xia Nanxing just raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and there was nothing unusual.
