When Ji Xingzhi heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and a thousand angers rushed through his heart. Even though he was a big shot in his heart, he still looked pleasant on the surface.

He stood up, raised his wine glass and said to Hua Yihen, "Your Highness, you are too polite."

After finishing the drink, Ji Xingzhi was afraid that Hua Yihen would use the excuse of toasting again, so he quickly said, "Prince Xun, please take a seat."

Hua Yihen frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't think much of it and just sat down.

Some people below were already discussing this secretly.

What grudge did Prince Xun have with the Emperor? Anyone could see that Prince Xun was making things difficult for the Emperor.

After Hua Yihen sat down, his handsome face still had a cold expression.

Su Yang, curious, put his head close to Hua Yihen's sight and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you know the Emperor Li?"

Hua Yihen answered without thinking: "I don't know him."

Hearing this, Su Yang tilted his head slightly and asked in confusion, "Then why are you making things difficult for him?"

Hua Yihen glanced at Ji Xingzhi indifferently, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and said coldly: "I don't like him."

If he hadn't been delayed at the cloth shop that day, he wouldn't have missed Xue Zhao. He left the cloth shop and rushed to Jin Yu Zhai, only to be told that Xue Zhao had already left...

After hearing Hua Yihen's reason, Su Yang's mouth twitched slightly and he was speechless.

"Prince Xun has already toasted, so we have no reason to be disrespectful. Emperor Li, for the sake of peace between Shuizhou and Lizhou, this toast should be made." Shui Lianche stood up, tall and graceful, with a gentle smile on his face.

Ji Xingzhi's mouth twitched, he stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said one word: "Cheers."

Go ahead! I really want to beat someone up!

After Shui Lianche finished toasting, Yuya also came to join in the fun and toast Ji Xingzhi, but fortunately, Yuya said: "It's up to the Emperor Li."

So Ji Xingzhi took a sip without any hesitation.

It was really just one sip, the wine only touched the tip of the tongue.

Everyone in the three states paid their respects, so there was no reason for Ling Fei to be disrespectful, as that would only make it seem like she looked down on Ji Xingzhi.

Then, Ling Fei also stood up and said calmly: "Ling Fei is not good at drinking, so I would like to offer a cup of tea to Emperor Li instead of wine. Emperor Li is welcome to enjoy as he pleases."

"Please come in, Saint." Ji Xingzhi nodded and thought to himself: The Prince of Yuzhou and the Saint of Xuezhou are still the best.

After they had almost finished their drinks, Ji Xingzhi suddenly spoke up, "Everyone, to be honest, I'm hosting this banquet not only to welcome you all, but I also have something I want to discuss with you."

"Please come in, Emperor Li." Shui Lianche said.

Ji Xingzhi nodded and organized his words: "I heard that the Prince of Yuzhou came to my Lizhou to discuss the peace of the five states, and I have also had the idea of peace in the five states for a long time."

After a pause, Ji Xingzhi turned to Wu Fang and said, "Go and get the five imperial edicts from the study."

Wu Fang was slightly stunned when he heard this and said, "Yes."

Ji Xingzhi looked at the confused people in the hall and continued, "Everyone, please wait a moment."

Soon, Wu Fang brought out the five imperial edicts and presented them respectfully to Ji Xingzhi.

Ji Xingzhi checked the imperial edict and made sure there was no problem. Then he asked Xie Jingnian to distribute them to the people in the four states, and he also kept one for himself.

Seeing that the people of the four states had received the imperial edict, Ji Xingzhi slowly said, "The imperial edict states a peace treaty for the five states.

1. Mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity.

2. Mutual non-aggression.

3. Non-interference in each other’s internal affairs.

4. Mutual benefit.

5. Peaceful coexistence.

If any nation violates any of the above treaties, the four states will join forces to attack it. What are your thoughts?

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and many people nodded frequently.
