The scene of Su Yan crouching in a corner seven days ago, surrounded by dozens of venomous snakes, flashed quickly through Nan Tang's mind.

Then, they hadn't gone far when they heard the panicked screams of the maid and the princess from before.

After that, I don't know.

After a few moments of change, Nan Tang's expression returned to normal, and he led Su Yan forward with a calm demeanor.

Su Yan rubbed the spot on her arm where the small green snake had bitten her.

After a while, he took out a piece of candy from his purse, peeled off the oil paper wrapping, and ate it.

The sweet taste of strawberry milk spread through her mouth, diverting her attention from the pain in her arm.

After passing through the narrow path and around the cobblestone road, we finally arrived at the place where the emperor was holding a banquet.

All the court officials of the third rank and above came.

The guards patrolled in circles, a meticulously planned deployment.

The palace maids, dressed in uniform orange-yellow maid uniforms, moved in and out like a flowing stream.

Upon entering, one is immediately struck by the luxurious and extravagant atmosphere.

The dragon throne, where the emperor sits, is the head of the table, with two rows of tables and chairs on either side.

Below the emperor, at the head of the two columns on the left and right, is the position of Prime Minister Zhao on the left and General Lin on the right.

Next are the seats for princes and princesses, arranged in order of age.

Opposite the prince's "chairman's" seat were the seats for the envoys, and then the seats for the court officials.

Logically speaking, the royal bloodline is of noble birth and should be above that of the prime minister and general.

This shows how much the emperor relied on these two men.

The banquet hall was not yet full.

Su Yan looked up and saw that Xuan Yuan Yonghao was not sitting among them.

Nan Tang led Su Yan through the banquet, along a winding path, to a pool.

Nan Tang stopped in his tracks, and saw him with his arms crossed.

"Your Highness, the person has been brought."

A harmless and gentle voice rang out

"Go down."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Southern Tang clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"yes"

He agreed and then left.

Xuanyuan Yonghao was dressed in a light yellow Qilin robe, with his hair tied up, looking somewhat different from his usual leisurely demeanor.

At first glance, she has red lips and white teeth, and her gentle and kind demeanor makes people want to get closer to her.

The pale moonlight shone on him, adding a touch of purity to his appearance.

His eyes were dark, and his thin lips were slightly upturned.

"What are you still standing there for? Come here."

The voice had lost its previous detachment and gentleness, and carried a different emotion.

Su Yan blinked and slowly walked over.

As soon as I walked up to him, he grabbed my arm and pulled me very close.

Looking at Su Yan's gentle appearance, he couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.

However, he remained outwardly calm and his tone remained unhurried.

"Is the purse finished being embroidered?"

Su Yan nodded

"It's finished embroidering."

He smiled, seemingly in no hurry to look at his purse, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"So, what do you think of the embroidery?"

";;;;fine"

"I have said that if the embroidery is satisfactory, the matter of you having to pay compensation will be wiped clean. If the embroidery is not satisfactory, then those old matters will have to be brought up again."

Su Yan was stunned. She... she had forgotten about it.

Seeing her stunned reaction, Xuanyuan Yonghao said...

"Did you bring your purse?"

"I;;;;"

"Take it out and let us see."

Su Yan remained motionless for a long time.

Xiaohua whispered

"Host, why don't you talk to him and ask him to embroider one again?"

These words clearly indicated that even Xiaohua thought the purse was a bit ugly.

This made Su Yan even less willing to take it out.

While the two were arguing there, Nan Tang walked over unnoticed.

Stand two meters away.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Zhao and General Lin have arrived."
