The sharp explosion immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Only then did everyone realize that the person who spoke was the second prince.

Shock still lingered on Xiao Mingyi's face. He stood up quickly, pointed at Wanqi, and demanded, "You said you were the princess of Yanzhi Kingdom, so why didn't you return to the capital with Prince Wanyan? And now you're in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. What are your intentions? Did you come to our country secretly with the intention of murdering our father?"

The series of questions that came down were surprisingly logical, which made everyone look up to him.

It is really rare that the Second Prince, who has always been incompetent and reckless, suddenly had a flash of inspiration at this moment.

Wanqi turned and looked at the second prince, smiling slightly, his bright white teeth made people love him.

This smile actually made Xiao Mingyi dazed. He quickly turned his head away in embarrassment, avoiding Wanqi's gaze.

"This...prince..." Wanqi paused, not recognizing him as the second prince, but when he saw the dragon robe on Xiao Mingyi, he recognized him as a prince.

"I came to Xuanwu with all integrity and no selfish motives. If I had any selfish motives, it was to meet the brave and wise Emperor Xuan! When my father chose me as a princess for marriage, I was determined to become his concubine!"

Wanqi was so excited that she shed two tears. She raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears, then looked up at Emperor Xuan.

There seemed to be a clear spring in her bright eyes, rippling with affection. At just one glance, Emperor Xuan fell in love with her.

He slowly stood up, walked around the queen and went down the stairs. He walked straight towards Wanqi, with only Wanqi in his eyes.

Emperor Xuan stopped in front of Wanqi and asked softly, "Are you serious?"

There was a tremor of uncertainty in the voice.

"Of course it's true!" Wanqi looked up at Emperor Xuan's eyes, which were bright, as if he saw the person he admired.

There was only Emperor Xuan in her eyes, no one else.

The little daughter's admiration and surprise were genuine, she almost told Emperor Xuan her true feelings, yes, I really like you, and the marriage was for you!

I don’t know whether the others present believed it or not, but Emperor Xuan believed it anyway.

Jin You tilted his head. The affectionate gaze between Wanqi and Emperor Xuan made him unable to bear to look at it, which also made Wanqi embarrassed.

It's so pitiful that a teenage girl has to pretend to be affectionate to an elderly man!

Originally thought, the poisonous insect would have no effect on Emperor Xuan, but to Jinyou's surprise, the effect was immediate.

That’s right, Emperor Xuan was fond of women and was not a man of strong will.

With Princess Wanqi's beauty in front and the poisonous insect behind, he was attracted by her at first sight.

only……

"Impossible! You're lying!"

The second prince, like a fool, interrupted the affectionate gaze between the two and pointed at Wanqi with an angry look.

The Second Prince's Consort, Chu Lingle, with her big belly, tugged at Xiao Mingyi's sleeve and called softly, "Your Highness..."

Xiao Mingyi gently tugged at his sleeves, pulling them out of the Second Prince's wife's hands. He patted her hands but ignored her. He turned around and continued to loudly scold:

"The original intention of the marriage between the two countries was to marry you off to my third brother as a concubine. How come now it's been said that you're in love with my father? Without seeing the peace agreement between the two countries and without Prince Wanyan's personal confirmation, I don't believe what you say!"

Jinyou was slightly surprised and couldn't help but look up at Xiao Mingyi.

The second prince seems like a different person today. Has he even grown a brain?

"What are you talking about, Second Prince... How can I let you ruin my true love for Emperor Xuan?" Wanqi pretended to be a little white flower, about to cry, her body shaking uncontrollably, and she actually fell backwards, falling straight into Emperor Xuan's arms.

The woman's sweet fragrance rushed into his nose, and his palm felt soft.

Wanqi suppressed his nausea and opened his eyes. His eyes were red, like a bullied little rabbit, and he was unnaturally well-behaved.

This look aroused a soft spot in Emperor Xuan's heart.

He held Wanqi in his arms and glared at the Second Prince, and even the Third Prince was glared at a few times.

"I never said that the third brother and the princess were getting married! Where did you get this information?"

Emperor Xuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Mingyi. The second son panicked for a moment, walked out and knelt on the ground, taking the responsibility without thinking.

"No one told me this, I just guessed! My third brother is already over twenty, and there's no one in the house who understands him. Coincidentally, the Yanzhi Kingdom sent a princess for marriage, so I naturally thought it was for my third brother... All of this is just my imagination. I hope your Majesty will understand!"

"Third brother? Is that so?"

The third brother slowly stood up and bowed. "I don't know what Second Brother said. The princess came to Xuanwu for the sake of peace between the two countries. No matter what the princess chooses, it is for the sake of friendship between the two countries. In my heart, peace between the two countries is the most important thing. Personal feelings... I have never thought about it!"

Emperor Xuan nodded, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, okay! They're all my good sons! Since the third brother is still unmarried, why not pick one of the girls from the noble families who have prepared their talents today? I'll grant you a marriage!"

After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a moment and then refused one after another.

"Your Majesty! This is against etiquette! Ordinary people have to match horoscopes to predict good and bad luck before they can get married! How can the prince easily choose a concubine?"

The first to speak was still Zhao Diqing, worthy of being the Imperial Censor, he really stepped up when there was something going on!

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Third Prince's selection of a concubine can be discussed later. The one in charge now is the Princess Marriage!"

"Yeah yeah!"

In an instant, a chorus of objections was heard in the hall, and even Su Yanshen, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

"Your Majesty, now that Princess Wanqi has arrived, what do you think should be done about this matter? Should the peace agreement be with the princess, or should she return to the capital with Prince Wanyan? If there is no peace agreement, Princess Wanqi will not be allowed to enter the palace and will have to be sent back..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Xuan.

"No! I don't agree. Even if the princess doesn't have a peace agreement, she's still a princess in marriage. I've already had physical contact with her. If I don't take her into my harem, wouldn't that be tarnishing her innocence?"

Wanqi blinked and looked at Emperor Xuan with eyes full of admiration.

She said in a sweet voice, "Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty. The peace agreement is with me. I will not make it difficult for Your Majesty."

"Alright, give me the peace agreement quickly! I'll have you enter the palace today! I won't let you down!"

"Okay~ Just Your Majesty~"

Wanqi blushed and pointed at Emperor Xuan's arm that was holding her, her face full of shyness, which made Emperor Xuan laugh out loud. He then loosened his hand and let go of Wanqi.

While Wanqi was looking for the peace agreement, Jinyou used the cup to cover up the joy on his face and turned his head to look at He Zhiyi's expression.

He Zhiyi had a calm expression on her face, as if she didn't care about anything that happened in the hall.

It's just... she was too calm, so calm that it made people feel weird.

While Jinyou was thinking, he felt a pair of eyes resting on his back.

He turned around suddenly and saw Aque dressed as a young eunuch with a serious expression on his face.

Jinyou withdrew his gaze. Wanqi's entry into the palace was a foregone conclusion, but he didn't know why Aque was so solemn.

He stood up as if nothing had happened and walked towards Aque. After the two met up, they turned around the pillar and left the Hall of Supreme Harmony through the side door.

After finding a deserted place, Jinyou asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Ah Que nodded and brought extremely bad news: "The Fifth Prince was demoted to a commoner and left the palace without staying. But the Sixth Prince doesn't seem to be well. He disappeared before the banquet started. I searched the entire palace and couldn't find any trace of the Sixth Prince. I suspect he must have disappeared..."
