Gu Yunni was a little unhappy with the Miaojiang Princess's behavior and couldn't help but say, "The prince doesn't want to pay attention to you, so don't be so reckless."

When she heard Gu Yunni's voice, she felt as if she was possessed and felt uncomfortable all over.

"This is a matter between this princess and the prince. If you know what's good for you, get out of the way!"

At this time, the Eighth Prince and his two companions also approached and stood between the two sides.

"Princess, you are a guest. Don't get angry over such a small matter."

The Eighth Prince also felt that the Miao princess was willful and capricious, and did things without considering other people's feelings at all.

More importantly, how can it affect the lives of my brother and sister-in-law?

Princess Miaojiang was naturally unconvinced, "You also said that I am a guest, so it is only natural for the prince to accompany me."

After hearing this, the Eighth Prince became a little angry. This princess really didn't know what was good for her.

"Whether or not the prince agrees to accompany you depends on this. You can't force him to do something against his will. This is not something you can do with your status."

The Eighth Prince deliberately used his status as a princess to pressure her. The woman standing beside him also joked, "Today is a state banquet. Everyone's happiness is more important than anything else. Don't let personal grudges delay important matters. Getting angry will only make you look ugly."

Gu Yunni looked at the woman in front of her. She had willow-shaped eyebrows, a cherry mouth, and an oval face. She looked extremely pretty.

Gu Yunni leaned close to Sheng Mingyu's ear and whispered, "Who is this beautiful lady who just spoke?"

Sheng Mingyu smiled and whispered to her, "It's the eldest princess who returned from her travels. She's the one the prince of Han Nation asked to marry her last time. Do you remember her?"

Gu Yunni was a little surprised that this was actually the eldest princess.

"I remember. It's so beautiful."

The eldest princess exuded extreme gentleness as she talked and laughed, as if she were a fairy from heaven. Perhaps it was because of her travels that she had lost some of the worldly turbidity.

Gu Yunni looked at him with some fascination, and Sheng Mingyu gently pinched her little hand.

"Control your expression, your saliva is flowing out."

Gu Yunni rolled her eyes and walked over to chat with the eldest princess. "Hello, Princess Wan'an. I heard you just returned from your travels. Did you encounter any interesting things along the way?"

Gu Yunni found that she and the eldest princess got along well. The two of them talked and got along very well, so they went in hand in hand.

The prince of Han Kingdom came over, wanting to give the Miao princess who was left behind a way out, "Princess, how about I go with you?"

Princess Miao glared at him. "Who are you? I don't want to be with you."

The prince of Han Kingdom didn't expect that his kindness would be met with a cold response. He felt extremely embarrassed for a moment. "Since the princess doesn't want to go with me, I will go in by myself."

Everyone took their seats, and the Miao princess had to go in by herself.

Soon, the emperor came out and sat down in the main seat.

"Now that the envoys from various countries have arrived, let's begin the banquet."

Various countries began to offer precious tributes one after another, and the first to come was the prince of Han Kingdom.

"This is our tribute to Your Majesty: a coral tree, a snow lotus, and some treasures."

"Han Kingdom is thoughtful." The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

The father-in-law put away the tribute and said, "Next."

Princess Miaojiang stepped forward and said, "This is a pair of night-shining pearls I brought from Miaojiang, as well as some precious medicinal herbs."

The emperor looked at the night pearl and it seemed that Miaojiang had spent a lot of money on it.

When it was the turn of the western neighboring country, the one who came up was not the eldest prince they knew before, but a stranger.

Gu Yunni looked at this person, very confused.

The man had already spoken, "Greetings, Your Majesty. I am the Second Prince of our Western Neighboring Country. This is my first time meeting you. You are truly majestic and extraordinary. This is a gift from our Western Neighboring Country: thousand-year-old human Ganoderma lucidum, ten-thousand-year-old blood ginseng, and ten boxes of treasure."

When Gu Yunni heard this, she realized that he was the second prince of the neighboring country to the west.

I guess the eldest prince has been recalled.

The emperor on the stage looked at the ginseng in the second prince's hand. From the outside, it looked no different from ordinary ginseng, but if you looked closely, you could see that its roots were much better than ordinary ones.

After that, some small countries came one after another. Their annual tribute was specialties from various countries. When the emperor saw that the tribute was completed, he clapped his hands.

"This year, the envoys from various countries have shown great care. I have also prepared songs and dances for everyone. Everyone must have a great time today."

As the emperor finished speaking, a group of dancers in gorgeous costumes walked in neatly from the entrance of the hall.

They walked onto the stage lightly and gracefully, like a group of dancing butterflies.

The dancers' costumes are colorful and embroidered with exquisite patterns and designs, which are beautiful at first glance.

The envoys from various countries and the ministers in the court couldn't help but smile when they saw the graceful dance.

Gu Yunni was also watching intently, enjoying the singing and dancing, but suddenly she heard a voice.

"Princess, please come sit next to me."

When Gu Yunni looked up, she saw the eldest princess waving at her.

She glanced at Sheng Mingyu and walked towards the eldest princess.

The eldest princess held her hand, feeling very happy. "I admire you very much. You are different from other women. No wonder you caught the prince's eye."

The two were chatting when suddenly, the second prince of the neighboring country to the west stood up.

"Your Majesty, we have come here to achieve lasting harmony with your country. This prince wishes to marry the eldest princess. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Gu Yunni was a little curious. The eldest princess had just returned, so what was the second prince planning to do?

She turned to look at Sheng Mingyu, and they both frowned.

When the emperor heard what the second prince said, he suddenly had a headache. If he didn't handle it well, he was afraid that he would be criticized by other countries.

The prince of Han State, who was drinking, saw that the emperor's face looked a little gloomy and felt dissatisfied.

Thinking about how he had been rejected when he proposed marriage before, he immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have asked for your hand in marriage before. I fell in love with the eldest princess at first sight, and I only want to marry her in this life."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yunni was speechless. It was already troublesome enough to have a western neighboring country, and now the Han Country also came out to join in the fun.

The eldest princess was a little nervous, not knowing what decision the emperor would make.

Seeing the eldest princess's uneasiness, Gu Yunni comforted her, "It's okay. Let's see what His Majesty says first. His Majesty will never allow you to marry."

The princes of the two countries asked to marry the princess at the same time, which had never happened before. The ministers were at a loss as to what to do for the time being.

This kind of thing has only happened once before, and the one who is most troubled now is the emperor.

He had promised that the eldest princess could not be allowed to marry.

The queen didn't say anything. She took a look at the two princes and felt that they both had good looks, abilities and backgrounds. No matter which side they were on, they were actually good choices.

Seeing that the emperor remained silent, the queen softly asked, "Don't worry, my two princes. I think it's a good idea for the eldest princess to marry either of you. I just wonder which of you wants to marry the eldest princess more?"
