On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

It was midsummer in Linzi, the capital of Qi State.

Although there are constant frictions and undercurrents on the border between the two countries, on the surface, a top-level meeting concerning the fate of the two countries is still being held in the magnificent "Tianshou Hall" of Qi State in an extremely strange and tense atmosphere.

The purpose of these talks was nominally to ease border tensions, but in reality they were full of murderous intent and a direct clash of the wills of the two sides' supreme rulers.

Inside the Tianshou Hall, the golden and magnificent decoration was evident, with towering dragon pillars. All the civil and military officials of Qi State stood in a solemn and depressing atmosphere.

The King of Qi sat high on the golden dragon throne above the nine jade steps. He was nearly fifty years old, with a dignified face and sharp eyes, and exuded the majesty of an emperor who had been in power for a long time.

However, if you look closely, you can find a subtle solemnity and fear between his brows.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the palace entrance. They were waiting for the legendary Empress Daqian, known for her extravagance and brutality, who had just crushed the southwestern barbarians with ruthless force.

The bells and drums rang, and the palace door slowly opened.

In an instant, the entire Tianshou Palace seemed to have stopped breathing.

Murong Yan was not wearing the imperial robes or military uniforms that symbolized the majesty of the emperor. Instead, she was still wearing the extremely gorgeous, light as a dream, but incompatible with the solemn and dignified court of the enemy country, and even had a provocative and extremely luxurious black and gold Su Jin cotton nightgown - the Divine Phoenix Descent Skirt, and walked in slowly.

She is not alone.

Lin Zhen was wearing a dark-colored uniform embroidered with coiled dragons. His face was as calm as water. He followed closely behind him at one step, like the most loyal shadow.

His existence itself is a silent declaration.

The extremely dark black Su Jin base material, illuminated by the dazzling palace lanterns of the Qi State Palace, absorbed the light, presenting a bottomless yet shimmering ink color. The golden cotton wool and the thin gold thread woven into it madly reflected the flowing, cold and dazzling dark golden waves under the light. It was mysterious and noble, with an overwhelming and unquestionable majesty, instantly surpassing the splendor of the Qi State in the palace!

On top of the "Divine Phoenix Descent Skirt", the overwhelming giant phoenix is ​​embroidered only with red gold thread. In the palace of a foreign country, it looks even more scorching and oppressive. The phoenix feathers are layered, as if flapping its wings in flames, and its noble majesty reveals a murderous aura that looks down on everything!

The black diamonds in her phoenix eyes pierced through with cold clarity, sweeping across the princes and officials of Qi with undisguised contempt. Her wide, light, trumpet-shaped sleeves cascaded down her sides, the gold tassels at the cuffs motionless yet shimmering, forming a stark contrast to the wide sleeves of the Qi officials' court robes.

The translucent black jade ring on her left thumb shone with a cold luster under the light, adding a sense of alienation and arrogance.

The most astonishing thing was that the five-meter-long Su Jin tail was dragging directly on the mirror-like golden brick floor of the Tianshou Hall, which was carved with coiled dragons and auspicious clouds!

The extremely luxurious train, inlaid with gems, madly reflected the light in the hall, like a flowing, aggressive dark gold river, arrogantly flowing over the royal floor tiles of Qi. The cotton softness formed a tactile contrast with the hardness of the ground, and the visual luxury formed a silent crushing!

She had a stunning appearance, but her expression was one of extreme laziness and indifference, as if the mighty majesty of Qi and the gazes of the officials before her were as insignificant as dust.

She walked calmly to the center of the hall, and the five-meter-long train spread out behind her, occupying a huge space, as if turning Tianshou Hall into the outer palace of her bedroom.

The King of Qi's pupils shrank slightly, and the veins on the back of his hand, which was gripping the armrest, became visible. The faces of the Qi ministers in the hall were filled with astonishment, anger, and even a hint of uncontrollable fear.

This outfit is not just disrespectful, but a naked humiliation and provocation!

"Your Majesty the Emperor Daqian has come from afar, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person." The King of Qi's voice was steady, but with a hint of coldness. He did not stand up to greet him, maintaining the majesty of the monarch.

Murong Yan stopped and didn't salute. She simply raised her chin slightly and met the King of Qi's gaze calmly. Her voice was cold and emotionless, "King Qi, please don't be polite. My time is precious."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in uproar! The ministers of Qi glared at them angrily!

The King of Qi's face darkened, and he suppressed his anger. "Since that's the case, Your Majesty, please take the seat and discuss the great plan for maintaining peace on the border between our two countries."

He pointed to the guest seat that had already been set up in the hall, which was slightly lower than the dragon throne.

Murong Yan didn't even look at the guest. Instead, she leaned slightly aside, her eyes sweeping across the hall's exhibits. Finally, her gaze landed on a gigantic jade sculpture in the corner, a symbol of peace. A hint of sarcasm played at the corner of her mouth. "An Ning? Is the King of Qi joking?"

She paced towards the jade sculpture, her five-foot-long tail sliding along, rolling across the smooth ground. "My southwestern border was recently bathed in the blood of the rebellious barbarians, but it's still peaceful."

She paused before the jade silk, stretched out her slender finger, adorned with a black jade ring, and lightly brushed the cold jade disk. Her voice suddenly turned cold, "It seems the King of Qi's northern border is not peaceful. A few of my 'little birds' flew in to play, and seemed to have disturbed the King of Qi's sweet dreams?"

She was referring to the sabotage activities of the secret guards in Qi State!

This is a naked admission and provocation!

The King of Qi could no longer hold back. He slammed the armrest of the dragon throne and shouted angrily, "Murong Yan! You allowed your spies to wreak havoc in our country, plundering caravans and assassinating ministers! And you still dare to speak so brazenly in front of us?! Do you really think that there is no one in my Great Qi?!"

"Oh?" Murong Yan slowly turned around and faced the King of Qi, her wide, flared sleeves waving gently. "So the King of Qi also knows that it's 'sabotage'? Then what does it mean that the King of Qi harbored my traitors, stole my skills, armed the barbarians, and invaded my borders? Is this good neighborliness?"

Her voice was not loud, but every word was as sharp as a knife!

"You!" The King of Qi was furious, his face livid. "Yuwen Shu has abandoned the dark and joined the light! Your tyranny is known to all the world! He defected to the Great Qi in compliance with the will of heaven!"

"Destiny?" Murong Yan chuckled softly. Her laughter was crisp, yet filled with endless coldness and mockery. "I am destiny."

She swept her eyes across the furious Qi officials, and finally returned to the King of Qi: "I am not here today to listen to you talk about 'heaven's will'. I only have one question."

She leaned forward slightly. Although she stood at the foot of the palace, her aura seemed to tower over the jade steps. "Return the people and the things to me. Then, relinquish your imperial title and submit your declaration of allegiance. I may consider keeping you in the Qi State ancestral temple to offer sacrifices."

"Insanity!"

"Be bold!"

"Too deceiving!"

The ministers of Qi were completely furious!

The roars came one after another!

This condition is a humiliation that will lead to the destruction of the country!

The King of Qi laughed in anger, "Murong Yan! Don't dream! I thought you were a woman, but you were so ungrateful to meet with me! Do you really think that your Great Qian can rival my Great Qi? Don't forget, the rebellion in your country has just been quelled, and there is much to be done! And my cavalry is already ready to go!"

"Iron Cavalry?" Murong Yan seemed to have heard something amusing. She even shook her head slightly. "Are you talking about those naive horses that even my border troops can't break through?"

She stopped looking at King Qi and turned to face the palace gate, as if she had lost all interest in the negotiation.

Lin Zhen followed silently and continued to guard by his side.

"It seems we can't reach an agreement." Murong Yan said softly to herself.

At this moment, an old minister beside the King of Qi seemed to want to save the situation. He suppressed his anger and stepped forward to say, "Your Majesty! The war between our two countries has caused great suffering to the people! Why act so impulsively? Why not both sides compromise? Da Qi can promise to restrain Yuwen Shu and no longer teach your country's skills. Your country will also withdraw its spies and compensate our country for its losses. Both sides will use the existing border as the boundary and form an eternal alliance."

Before he could finish his words, Murong Yan turned around suddenly!

The movements were swift and furious!

The light and elegant five-meter-long Su Jin train was suddenly lifted up by the sudden turn, and the huge dark golden skirt spread out like the wings of an enraged phoenix, sweeping across the smooth golden brick floor with a swish!

As the hem of the skirt suddenly floated up, it suddenly revealed the gorgeous lining inside. It was made of the same dark black Su brocade as the base, but with more brilliant and dazzling red gold thread, with the ultimate craftsmanship of "weaving gold all over the ground", and was embroidered with hundreds of phoenixes facing the sun, lotus patterns and patterns of longevity and blessings!

The golden phoenix and floral patterns on the lining suddenly flashed under the bright lights in the hall. The golden light was dazzling and magnificent to the extreme, as if it was the golden light of the scorching sun that suddenly broke out in the hall of the enemy country, noble, dazzling, and with a sense of determination to crush all compromises!

The skirt falls down, and the brilliance is restrained.

But Murong Yan's anger was already tangible: "Take a step back? Make an alliance?"

Her voice suddenly rose, sharp as an icicle, piercing the clamor of the hall. "The word 'retreat' does not exist in my dictionary!"

She waved her hand from beneath her wide, flared sleeves, pointing at the jade sculpture: "Covenant? It's nothing but a piece of waste paper!"

Under everyone's horrified gaze, she actually walked a few steps to the jade sculpture, stretched out her hand wearing the black jade ring, and pushed it hard!

"Crack——!"

The crisp sound of shattering echoed throughout the hall!

The jade sculpture that symbolized peace was pushed down by her palm, and it fell to the ground and broke into pieces!

The whole hall was in dead silence!

You can hear the needle drop!

Murong Yan stood among the debris, her skirt swaying in the wind. Her gaze was as cold as ten thousand years of ice. She swept over the stunned King Qi and his ministers. Her voice was extremely cold and clear:

"Listen, Gao Zhan."

She called the King of Qi by his name!

"When I step out of this palace today, I am declaring war."

"I don't want your tribute. I want your kingdom, your ancestral temple, and your head."

"I will personally skin Yuwen Shu alive. I will raze your 'Tiangongyuan' to the ground."

"I will crush your cavalry into pieces one by one."

"I will use your Linzi City as my hunting grounds."
