As is tradition at the annual party, after watching the performances and having eaten and drunk our fill, the party doesn't really end there. Since it's a rare opportunity to get together once a year, we've prepared a lot of games.

"My esteemed subjects, today is a fine day, and with plenty of time to spare, how about we play a game?"

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Tiancheng made a suggestion.

"If Your Majesty is in such a good mood, we will gladly oblige. May we ask what game Your Majesty would like to play?"

The veteran actors, of course, knew this procedure, so they had been waiting for His Majesty to speak.

"Otherwise, let's play musical chairs and the winner has to perform a talent show."

"good idea."

To ensure fairness, Li Tiancheng had a guard beat a drum outside the palace, thus guaranteeing impartiality.

"Dong dong dong~~~"

As the drumbeats begin, a delicate ball is passed around. In this game, the receiver is the most nervous, as everyone is afraid of ending up with the ball. After the drumbeats stop, everyone is looking for who will be the first to go on stage.

"It's the Ninth Princess."

"It actually fell into the hands of the Ninth Princess."

"It actually fell into the hands of Sister Xixue."

The prince was also just watching the spectacle, curious about what kind of performance his usually mischievous younger sister would put on.

"Oh dear, what bad luck! There are so many people, why me of all people?"

Li Xixue made no attempt to hide her feelings, but still went to the center of the main hall.

"What kind of performance is Xixue preparing for us?"

Li Tiancheng was also very much looking forward to seeing what kind of performance his daughter would give.

"Let me dance for you all."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Li Xixue mention dancing, but as subjects, they dared not show it. Everyone in the court knew that the Ninth Princess was unruly, and they never expected that she could dance.

"Good, good, good! Xue'er can actually dance! Father is really looking forward to it."

Speaking of which, I don't know why, but Li Xixue's temperament has become more and more restrained lately. She has even temporarily started learning needlework, and she recently found a professional dance instructor to teach her the dance.

As the music began to play softly, Li Xixue started moving to the rhythm.

It's easy to see from the music and dance that this is a dance with a story, and like all little girls, it's a dance about love.

Although Li Xixue is a beginner, she is able to express the meaning of the dance through her perfect dance moves.

Everyone was mesmerized. The Tubo envoy roared inwardly, "It's her! It's this Ninth Princess! We must arrange a marriage between the Tubo and the Ninth Princess!"

Before coming, I had discussed it with King Uganbu. Although the Great Dragon had many princesses, the Ninth Princess was the most favored. Moreover, I heard that the Ninth Princess was not only the Great Dragon Emperor's favorite daughter, but also the most beautiful one.

When the Tubo envoy saw the real person, he was immediately astonished and thought he was a celestial being.

After the song ended, Li Xixue's dance drew cheers from the audience.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

The drums sounded again, but unfortunately, just as the drums stopped, the exquisite ball was in the hands of the earthen envoy.

"Envoy of the Land, what kind of performance do you plan to give everyone?"

I never expected it to fall into the hands of foreign envoys. I wonder what they will perform. But it is obvious that what these foreigners perform will not be comparable to what Da Long has done. However, everyone will still applaud politely.

The Tubo envoy was actually well-prepared. There was another major reason why he was able to successfully serve as the dragon envoy: in Tubo, he was the official who understood dragon culture the most.

He always believed that the main enemy of Tubo in the future would definitely be Dalong, so he had always been quite knowledgeable about Dalong culture. At this time, if he could write a good poem that would impress everyone, there might be hope for the marriage alliance.

"How about I compose a poem?"

"Oh, I didn't expect the Envoy of the Land to be able to compose poetry. I'll have to listen carefully when the time comes."

In truth, Li Tiancheng's words were merely out of curiosity, but the Tubo Envoy felt mocked and insulted. He gritted his teeth, preparing to surprise these people later.

"Millions of rampagers,"

They marched on like dust in the wilderness.

Living beings do not care about where they are.

How many people can be won over?

"Damn, this bastard's got some skills."

Even Zhou Wu had to admit that this land envoy's poetry skills surpassed those of many great dragon literati.

"Good, good, good poem."

Li Tiancheng also praised him generously.

The people present gave him a warm round of applause, and the Earth God ambassador smugly enjoyed the praise and compliments from everyone.

"I never expected that the envoy was not only knowledgeable about poetry, but also so proficient in it."

Li Tiancheng usually enjoys poetry and songs, and when he sees a good poem, he is naturally happy and says a few more words.

"I have been interested in the culture of the Great Dragon since I was a child, so I have been studying it. I also hope that my Tubo can be on good terms with the Great Dragon forever. If we can marry into the Great Dragon, that would be even better."

Li Tiancheng was also stunned, not expecting the local envoy to bring up the old matter again.

The other officials present were also surprised that the envoy would make such a request, and they all showed indignation.

"Envoy, I have said that the matter of marriage alliance is a rule of my royal family, so please do not mention it again."

Upon hearing this, the envoy bowed slightly in disappointment.

The game continued, and this time it surprisingly fell into Zhou Wu's hands.

"Haha, Zhou Wu, what kind of performance are you going to put on?"

Everyone was excited about Zhou Wu's appearance. Whether they were familiar with him or his enemies, they all wanted to see him make a fool of himself. Even the emperor joined in the commotion.

"The poem the chieftain just recited has stirred my desire; why don't I compose one myself?"

Zhou Wu glanced at the local envoy with a half-smile. Those who knew Zhou Wu knew he was about to do something mischievous again.

"But let me make it clear first, this poem-writing scenario is fictional and should not be taken seriously."

The more Zhou Wu said this, the more excited everyone on Da Long's side became, as if Zhou Wu was about to cause trouble again.

"How did this envoy offend Zhou Wu?"

"I heard that a couple of days ago, the Tubo Envoy was bullying the people of my Great Dragon on the streets of the capital. Zhou Wu saw it and taught them a lesson."

"Logically speaking, the land envoy should have suffered a loss, so what is Zhou Wu doing now?"

"Everyone knows Zhou Wu's personality. Once you cross him, you're like a piece of dog skin plaster that you can't get rid of."

The officials from Dalong began to whisper among themselves, seemingly waiting to see what would happen.

"The long clouds of Qinghai darken the snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks towards Yumen Pass in the distance.

"I've worn my golden armor through a hundred battles in the yellow sand, and I won't return until I've conquered Loulan."

"Suck~~~"

Everyone gasped in shock, and the Earth God Envoy trembled with rage.

Zhou Wu actually said he would not return until he conquered Loulan, and coincidentally, the capital of the Tubo Kingdom was Loulan.

"Your Majesty, this man actually wrote a poem, deliberately trying to undermine the friendship between our two countries. He has ulterior motives. I beg Your Majesty to punish him."
