The woman chuckled softly: "Is the top scholar worried about me?"
Lu Zhaolin frowned slightly and walked towards the second floor of the inn.
As he passed by Lu Zhaofeng's house, he suddenly stopped and gently knocked on Lu Zhaofeng's door.
"Brother, what's wrong so late?" Lu Zhaofeng seemed to have guessed that something had happened, and opened the door while dressed neatly.
“I just ran into Princess Ning downstairs. She was all alone, without even a guard. I’m worried something might have happened to her. Send someone to check on her.” Lu Zhaolin frowned deeply.
Lu Zhaofeng stared at his solemn expression for a while, then turned and went downstairs.
The next morning.
The crown prince of Ningguo brought the princess into the palace.
"Recently, the Yuan Kingdom has been sending out envoys from the surrounding countries one after another. Could it be that war is about to break out?"
"Probably not. Since it's an envoy mission, it means there won't be an immediate war, and there's still a chance to negotiate."
"What do you all mean? Do you think our Yuan Kingdom is afraid of them?"
"Ningguo is different from Xiaguo, and should not be underestimated."
"I think you're just boosting the morale of others while diminishing your own."
"Did I say something wrong? What exactly do you mean?!"
"Alright, alright, how can you let your own people start arguing!"
"Here it comes, here it comes, stop talking."
"Alright, alright, let's all keep quiet."
Wei Ziyi was very polite and bowed to Emperor Yuanwu using the etiquette of Ningguo.
Emperor Yuanwu sat on the main seat, his eyes slightly narrowed as he stared at him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite. Please take your seats." As Emperor Yuanwu's voice fell, the singing and dancing resumed, and everyone took their seats.
In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to the woman beside him, whose face was veiled by a light gauze.
"And who is this...?" Prime Minister Meng, sitting next to Wei Ziyi, couldn't help but ask.
“This is my sister,” Wei Ziyi replied politely.
"So it is the princess of Ning Kingdom." Prime Minister Meng said with a sigh, "Since the crown prince of Ning Kingdom has brought the princess from afar to meet the emperor, why is she wearing a veil and refusing to show her true face? Could it be that Ning Kingdom is disrespectful to our emperor from the bottom of its heart?"
"Exactly, what's the point of this lawsuit? We're already here, why are you covering your face? Is this Ning Kingdom princess so precious that you won't even let people see her face?"
"Then just stay in Ningguo, why did you come here in the first place?"
"Isn't that right? Our Seventh Princess is so young, yet she's sitting here for the sake of good relations between our two countries. Why can't your Ning Kingdom do the same?"
Mu Qianqian, who was enjoying her meal, paused.
She could clearly feel countless eyes around her staring at her.
Although there is all kinds of food in this palace.
But she still felt that eating at a banquet was more exciting.
It's quite ceremonial!
And another thing.
To help her grow faster, her mother prepared special meals for her, omitting many seasonings.
It certainly doesn't taste as good as this grand feast.
She doesn't care anyway.
She's going to show off fiercely.
Mu Qianqian, without any regard for her image, stuffed a piece of fatty meat into her mouth.
She bit down with difficulty using the few teeth that had just grown in.
At that very moment.
The princess from Ningguo, who had come from afar, suddenly stood up: "It was not to disrespect the Emperor, nor was it any deliberate concealment. I was just afraid that removing my veil would frighten everyone."
