Everyone was looking forward to today's banquet.

Shen Jiaojiao and Chu Tianling wore matching outfits in the same color scheme and sat at the front.

She noticed while she was picking out clothes at home that no matter what color she chose, he could always find the same style.

It seems this was premeditated.

Shen Jiaojiao tried on three outfits, but seeing that Chu Tianling was unhappy again, she quickly chose a purple silk dress.

Next to them in line were Chu Tianyang and his princess, Wen Nuan.

Chu Tianyang, dressed in a red prince's robe, idly drank his wine, his mind already wandering far away.

Sitting next to him, Wen Nuan was still dressed in white as always. Her belly wasn't showing yet, but the clothes were loose-fitting, and she sat there gently.

Shen Jiaojiao glanced at it and then looked away. Suddenly, her gaze swept over a spot and she saw a familiar person.

Upon closer inspection, isn't that Chen Baozhu?

Having left the scumbag, Chen Baozhu resumed her former attire and sat behind Chen Taifu.

He even made a face at Shen Jiaojiao when he saw her gaze.

Shen Jiaojiao also smiled at her.

The other people on the field, whether men or women, were dressed in extremely luxurious attire, with several young men being particularly exquisite.

Chu Tianling realized that he had only been distracted for a second, and Jiaojiao had already been seduced by another woman.

He picked up a snack: "Jiaojiao, eat something first, to fill your stomach."

Shen Jiaojiao ate a few bites, then looked up at the door with an expectant expression.

Chu Tianling forced himself to remain calm, took her hand, and gently stroked it.

Soon after, the Emperor arrived, and everyone became excited.

The sound of bowing was louder than usual!

How could I not be excited? His appearance means that a beauty is about to enter.

Chu Batian understood what everyone was thinking, so without further ado, he told everyone to get up and immediately send someone to assist them.

"Announce that the envoy from the Southwestern Kingdom is here to pay his respects!"

The eunuch's loud voice rang out, and everyone turned to look at the doorway.

Ten beauties, all newly dressed, marched in orderly fashion into the main hall.

Soon, a series of gasps came from behind, and everyone stared in disbelief.

Shen Jiaojiao looked at the woman in the very center, who happened to be the beauty from the lead car earlier.

"Fairy Sister!"

Shen Jiaojiao let out a happy gasp. The woman looked over at the sound and gave her a charming smile.

Hiss hiss hiss

That smile has captivated countless eyes.

The beautiful woman led the group to the center and performed a unique salute to His Majesty on the high platform.

"Envoy Duan Shuixian from the Southwest Kingdom, along with my sisters, pays our respects to Your Majesty. We have heard of your country's prosperity and brilliant culture. Our envoy has come to express our wish to exchange goods and enhance friendship with your country. We wish Your Majesty good health and happiness!"

Her voice was as melodious as a lark's, bringing joy to those who listened.

Moreover, the beauty seemed to have a subtle fragrance about her, and soon the hall was filled with a faint floral scent.

Who doesn't like beautiful women? Even just looking at them can bring joy.

Chu Tianba was, after all, the emperor, and had seen countless beauties. Although his eyes were also on the beauties below, his gaze was full of admiration.

"Haha, good! Get up now!"

Duan Shuixian stood up first, and then said to His Majesty at the head of the table, "Your Majesty, we have also prepared a special dance for you."

"Hahaha! Approved!"

The crowd below grew expectant.

After receiving permission, Narcissus raised his hand, and a gust of wind blew by.

Soft music drifted over, and suddenly, thick white smoke billowed from the ground.

The smoke was like the white clouds in the sky, impossible to grasp.

The beauties dispersed, moving rhythmically to the music. Their graceful dance steps treaded on the misty ground, creating a scene as beautiful as a fairy palace.

The beauty had hidden flower petals somewhere, and during her final pose, she simultaneously scattered a handful of petals from her hand.

This immediately brought the scene to a climax.

Shen Jiaojiao watched without blinking, her hands practically clapping.

Others took even harsher photos.

His Majesty laughed heartily with delight.

After Duan Shuixian finished her performance, she saw the Emperor laughing so happily on the high place and remembered the instructions given by the Imperial Advisor when they set off: that Chu Tianyang must be brought back.

Although she didn't understand the reason, the country was ruled by the Grand Tutor, and since he had spoken, the person had to be taken away.

Her eyes secretly scanned the two tables in front of her.

I heard that one is the Crown Prince and the other is Prince An, so the one in the front should be the Crown Prince and the one behind should be Prince An.

She was dressed in red and was quite good-looking.

She glanced at it so quickly that it went unnoticed by others.

Duan Shuixian bowed to the person at the head of the table and said, "Your Majesty, the Southwest Kingdom has sent us here this time, bringing with us the most beautiful pearls of our country."

Behind them are the older sisters, whose names are derived from flowers: Duan Yulan, Duan Taohua, Duan Mudan, Duan Shiliu, Duan Hehua, Duan Guihua, Duan Juhua, Duan Furong, and Duan Yueji.

Our national advisor said that every man in the Xia Kingdom is excellent, and if they like someone, they can marry him on their own.

"Of course, the only requirement is that she comes back to China with us after we get married."

The first half of the sentence pleased everyone, but the second half discouraged most people.

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Duan Shuixian added:

"In our Southwest Kingdom, we may not have much else, but we have plenty of women! There are too few men there, so you don't have to worry about having only one woman. You can basically marry whoever you fancy. Usually, a man can have multiple women at the same time."

Furthermore, after marriage, men don't need to work outside the home at all; they can simply rest at home. The work of supporting the family is entirely the woman's responsibility!
