"Greetings to the King of Chu, the Princess of Chu, and General Hu Wei!" Nan Lan and Nan Hongye immediately greeted Chu Feiyang and the other two politely. Their attitudes were generous and their manners were elegant, with the aura and dignity of a royal family!

"Greetings, Crown Prince and Princess!" Yun Qianmeng spoke on their behalf. Although she was not born into a royal family, her good upbringing, the dignified manner in which she handled things, and the calm confidence displayed in her faint smile immediately made everyone look at the Princess of Chu with admiration. No wonder the Princess of Chu was able to be so calm and resourceful when facing the Regent just now!

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Yun Qianmeng, but Yun Qianmeng's eyes fell on Nan Lan and Nan Hongye in front of her!

The brother and sister both had faint smiles on their faces, but compared to the calmness in Nan Lan's eyes, Nan Hongye looked much more immature. The dissatisfaction and slight rejection in his eyes were instantly seen through by Yun Qianmeng!

Nan Lan was also observing Yun Qianmeng. The woman in front of him exuded an elegant temperament like an orchid in a valley. The smile in her eyes seemed gentle, but it was full of calmness and intelligence. People could see her specialness at a glance, and they would be uncontrollably attracted to such a woman!

Judging from Yun Qianmeng's expression towards her just now, this intelligent Princess Chu must have guessed her identity long ago, but did not expose it immediately. She wondered if she would use this to threaten her!

Nan Lan's heart tightened as she thought of this. She tightened her grip on Nan Hongye's hand slightly. After a moment, she smiled faintly and said, "It's our first meeting. I never thought the princess would be such a stunning and extraordinary woman. Nan Lan is truly impressed!"

Seeing Nan Lan actually speak like this, Yun Qianmeng knew that she was deliberately not mentioning that they had met in Jiangzhou!

However, just because Nan Lan was unwilling to mention it didn't mean Yun Qianmeng wouldn't mention it either. Especially since the other party had clearly been plotting against them before, Yun Qianmeng naturally couldn't let others take advantage of her for nothing!

Yun Qianmeng smiled gracefully, her eyes looking earnestly into Nan Lan's slightly fluctuating ones, and she spoke softly, "The princess is a true beauty, especially these bright eyes, which are truly unforgettable!"

Yun Qianmeng's words made Nan Lan's heart skip a beat. She immediately reacted and explained, "Princess, you are too kind!"

Although Nan Yijun had been tasting wine alone, his eyes were always on the two women who were talking. When he heard Princess Chu say this, Nan Yijun looked at Nan Lan with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and then turned his eyes away!

"Lan'er, Ye'er, you two come and sit next to your father!" At this time, Emperor Feng Jing suddenly spoke, and everyone looked over, only to see him waving at his two children!

Nan Lan nodded politely towards Yun Qianmeng, then pulled Nan Hongye, who was hostile towards the three people in front of him, towards the Dragon Throne!

A song and dance began, and the dancers walked in quickly from the side door of the hall while the ministers were drinking and chatting. The colorful dance costumes made the originally solemn and magnificent hall instantly turned into a fairyland on earth. The silk ribbons drew a beautiful arc in the air with their soft movements, which dazzled everyone's eyes for a moment. Some ministers with poor concentration could not help but keep their eyes fixed on the enchanting and charming figures of the dancers, and could not come back to their senses for a long time!

"Does Your Highness like this song and dance?" Nan Yijun spoke before the song was over!

"If the Regent asked about marching and fighting, I could still tell you a thing or two. But singing and dancing are things that only girls can do. The Regent asked the wrong person!" How could Chu Feiyang not understand Nan Yijun's thoughts?

Although these dancers were of humble origins, they were beautiful and charming in appearance. What was particularly rare was that they had exquisitely slender figures. Considering the reactions of Nanxun's ministers just now, it was likely that these women were painstakingly found by Nan Yijun for him, with the purpose of confusing him and winning him into his camp!

Unfortunately, Nan Yijun's plan failed. Not only did it fail to arouse Chu Feiyang's interest, but it also made Nan Xun and other officials lose face in front of the Western Chu envoys. No wonder Lu Xin laughed uncontrollably. "Although the dancer is beautiful, her status is too low. How can she be worthy of our King of Chu!"

As soon as Lu Xin said this, all the people in the hall who were originally obsessed with women came back to their senses. They stared at Lu Xin with indignation and strongly disagreed with his remarks!

Although these dancers were not of high birth, they were personally selected and trained by the Regent. If they were given to other ministers, they would surely be grateful and regard it as an honor and an affirmation of the Regent. However, they did not expect that when they came to Lu Xin's mouth, they were treated with such disdain. How could they not glare at him angrily!

Nan Yijun didn't look at Lu Xin, as if he hadn't heard what he had just said. Nan Yijun's eyes were always on Chu Feiyang. Seeing that he was sitting at the table calmly, he said, "Your Highness is too modest. Everyone knows that Your Highness is a master of both civil and military tactics. He can recite military manuals by heart, and his military tactics are unpredictable. He even won the top spot in both the civil and military examinations! He is a true genius! I believe Your Highness also has some insights into music and dance!"

"Meng'er, what do you think of the song and dance just now?" Chu Feiyang stared at Yun Qianmeng without looking away. Seeing a smile on her lips but a deep contempt for Nan Yijun in her eyes, he knew that Nan Yijun's behavior had made Yun Qianmeng unhappy, and immediately gave the chance to speak to his beloved wife!

"The music is not as good as Princess Heshun's, and the dance is not as good as Princess Qi Ling'er's! But the Regent has good intentions after all, so we can just watch it casually! Moreover, the emperor sent us here to discuss state affairs in detail, so we naturally cannot indulge in singing and dancing!" Seeing that Chu Feiyang gave her the opportunity, Yun Qianmeng spoke up as he expected!

When everyone heard this, the anger on their faces immediately disappeared by half!

No matter how small Nanxun Country is, we have heard of the names of Hai Tian and Qi Ling'er!

Especially after the marriage between Western Chu and Northern Qi, Hai Tian's name became widely known, and her superb guqin skills made scholars and writers yearn for her!

As for Qi Ling'er, she was a princess of Northern Qi. Not only was she of noble status, she was also the most beautiful woman in Northern Qi. It was said that Qi Ling'er's dancing was the best in the world, which made her admired by many Confucian scholars!

If the King of Chu had seen the performances of these two people at the same time, it was no wonder that he looked down upon the beauties collected by their Regent, and it was no wonder that the Princess of Chu was so arrogant!

“Your Majesty, I have heard that the Princess of Chu plays the guqin very well, even surpassing Princess Heshun, and the King of Western Chu Hai praised her highly. Why don’t you ask the Princess of Chu to play a song for us so that we can listen to the sounds of nature!” At this time, the Prime Minister of Nanxun State who was sitting opposite stood up and spoke loudly!

Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng's brows knitted slightly, and then she looked at the prime minister with a calm expression, but she was suspicious in her heart!

The Sea King's Palace has always been mysterious. At that time, the ladies and gentlemen who were invited there were either rich or noble. It was impossible for outsiders to sneak into the Sea King's Palace!

But this prime minister knew that he had played the guqin in the Sea King's Palace, and he even told Yun Qianmeng in detail how the Sea King praised the guqin music at that time. This made Yun Qianmeng immediately curious about this prime minister, wondering where he got this information from!

At this moment, Chu Feiyang's gaze shot towards the prime minister dangerously. The faint smile on the corner of his mouth was already cold, and the dim light in his eyes gradually condensed into ice. This trip to Nanxun Kingdom was really fruitful. Even a small prime minister dared to let his princess perform in public. Did he think that Chu Feiyang was dead?

"If Prime Minister Wan feels that the palace banquet arranged by the Regent is boring, do you need me to perform sword dance in public to liven up the atmosphere?" Chu Feiyang spoke slowly, his tone light with an extremely cold taste, which made Prime Minister Wan of Nanxun Kingdom shut up immediately. He looked at Chu Feiyang and Nan Yijun with a probing look, gazing at the mood and expressions of the two princes at this moment!

However, Yun Qianmeng slowly pursed her red lips when Chu Feiyang opened his mouth. Since Prime Minister Wan had displeased Chu Feiyang, she would naturally leave the matter to him to deal with!

Moreover, Chu Feiyang's words made Prime Minister Wan immediately realize that he had offended two people with what he had just said!

Firstly, the King of Chu did not want his princess to play in public, but Prime Minister Wan crossed the bottom line and naturally offended the King of Chu!

Secondly, all the officials were fascinated by the song and dance arranged by the Regent. Only Prime Minister Wan suggested that Yun Qianmeng play the piano. It can be seen that he was probably dissatisfied with Nan Yijun's arrangement!

No matter whose camp Prime Minister Wan is on now, he has offended Nan Yijun so blatantly. I am afraid that the consequences may not be something he can afford!

"I didn't know that Prime Minister Wan knew so much about the affairs of Western Chu! He even knew so thoroughly about how the Princess of Chu defeated Princess Heshun with her piano skills. I really admire him! I'm sure my royal brother is also very surprised!" Nan Yijun spoke slowly. Although his voice was low, the hall was silent at this time, but his words fell clearly into everyone's ears!

When Prime Minister Wan heard Nan Yijun's remarks, his expression suddenly changed. The Regent reacted very quickly and figured out the King of Chu's intentions in the blink of an eye!

The King of Chu was also very smart and capable, and his schemes and calculations were truly unmatched. With just one simple sentence, he made Nan Yijun shift the focus to him, and even made Nan Yijun think that he was colluding with Western Chu and framed him!

Prime Minister Wan immediately looked towards Emperor Feng Jing with frank eyes, fearing that Emperor Feng Jing would misunderstand Nan Yijun's words and think that there was some unspeakable secret between him and Xi Chu!

"Your Majesty, my uncle is the Prime Minister of a country, so he naturally knows more than others! Moreover, Princess Heshun is an excellent zither player, and she is highly regarded even in Nanxun. It is understandable that others pay more attention to such a person! We have been living in the palace, so we naturally cannot hear the outside voices, but my uncle lives outside the palace, so he naturally knows more than us! Lan'er would like to hear what my uncle says about Princess Heshun, I am really curious!" At this time, Princess Nanlan, who was sitting next to Emperor Feng Jing, spoke to him coquettishly, and with just a few words, she resolved Prime Minister Wan's embarrassment and Emperor Feng Jing's suspicion!

Seeing that there was no more excitement, Yun Qianmeng withdrew her gaze and exchanged a glance with Chu Feiyang. Then, she understood and sat quietly at the table.
