Luo Fanjin was sitting in the seat of the official opposite, dressed in red, looking calm and unafraid.
Liu Wushuang quickly recognized that the other person was the woman who saved her that day.
She was overjoyed and happened to meet Luo Fanjin's gaze. Their eyes met and they smiled at each other.
"She still remembers me!" Liu Wushuang couldn't help but get excited.
The banquet began soon.
As Emperor Yun took the seat at the top, Crown Prince Murong Yanche also appeared in the hall.
As soon as he appeared, Luo Fanjin quickly noticed that the ministers avoided him, as if they were extremely afraid of the prince.
Luo Fanjin didn't understand what was going on, but she didn't panic.
Murong Yanche walked straight over, his mighty and domineering aura clearly displayed.
"Everyone please take a seat!" said Emperor Wen on the high platform.
The ministers then sat down, and at this time, Emperor Wen looked at Murong Yanche with an unfathomable look.
"Your Highness Prince Yan, Princess Mingzhu has arrived!"
As the eunuchs at the door shouted loudly, a group of people soon came in.
Maids and eunuchs surrounded Prince of Yan Murong Sheng and Princess Mingzhu.
"Congratulations, my Royal Brother. The fact that our Apocalypse Nation was able to defeat the Simon Nation was all thanks to your planning!"
The Prince of Yan smiled with a fawning look on his face. When Luo Fanjin saw him like this, she felt that he was completely different from the one she met at the city gate.
Murong Yanche beside him snorted coldly, not very loudly, but Luo Fanjin heard it clearly.
She roughly figured out that the Crown Prince and the Prince of Yan were not on good terms.
"Long live your majesty! Mingzhu wishes you great fortune and longevity!"
Princess Mingzhu raised her head, with the same smile as the King of Yan. She was not beautiful, but the pearl hairpins and silks she wore added a lot of beauty.
"No need to bow, just stand up!" Emperor Wen seemed very pleased and smiled from ear to ear.
After the two of them sat down, Prince Yan sat just below the Emperor, above Crown Prince Murong Yanche, while Princess Mingzhu sat in the female seat, sitting alongside many princesses.
"Messenger Simon is here to see you!"
"pass!"
Outside the hall, several figures came against the light and saluted Emperor Wen in full view of everyone.
"Crown Prince Huangfu Jing and Princess Huangfu Lian'er of Simon Kingdom pay their respects to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"No need to bow, just stand up!" Emperor Wen showed a sincere smile for the first time. At this moment, his face was flushed and he seemed to be very happy.
"Your Highness has come from afar, please take a seat!" Emperor Wen continued.
Huangfu Jing smiled slightly, and Huangfu Lian'er, with her face covered with a veil, was led to an empty seat on the side.
There were two empty seats on the right side of Luo Fanjin. When Huangfu Jing and Huangfu Lian'er sat down, she suddenly realized that these were prepared for them.
After Huangfu Jing sat down, he deliberately glanced at Luo Fanjin with shock and confusion in his eyes.
"Prince Simon has come here to surrender and pay homage. I wonder if he has brought a letter from the credible state?" Murong Yanche suddenly said.
Emperor Wen's originally beaming face suddenly cracked. Oh, right! How could he have forgotten such an important thing!
The ministers were also very embarrassed, but they soon came to their senses and asked for the letter of credence.
"Of course I have a letter, but this time I came here for the peace between our two countries, so a letter is certainly not enough!"
When Huangfu Jing said this, everyone looked over in confusion, while Huangfu Lian'er, who had been acting like a wooden man from beginning to end, was wearing a veil and did not move at all.
"My father believes that ordinary alliances are not sincere enough, so this time he brought the third princess of our Simon Kingdom, my sister Huangfu Lian'er, to marry the crown prince of your Tianqi Kingdom!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!
Marrying the Crown Prince? Did they hear that correctly?
When Luo Fanjin heard this, she understood that Murong Yanche's identity was the reason for this. Given the current situation, such an outdated tactic as marriage could only maintain temporary peace.
However, she still needs to wait and see what choice Apocalypse Kingdom will make in the end.
Luo Fanjin poured himself a pot of tea and sipped it slowly, like an outsider.
At this time, not to mention the ministers of the Apocalypse Kingdom in the hall, the barrage in the live broadcast room was exploding.
[What? Marriage! No! I don't agree!]
[Hahahaha, this is a matter between NPCs. Whether you agree or not is meaningless! ]
[Woo woo woo! I won’t do it! Master Yan Che can’t just marry someone else like this! ]
There was a lot of wailing in the live broadcast room. Luo Fanjin smiled slightly and watched the fun with great interest.
The expression of Emperor Wen sitting on the dragon throne was unclear, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or unhappy. The ministers opposite him went from being in an uproar at the beginning to whispering.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a strange fate. Who would dare to marry him?"
"Why not? I want to, but I'm not worthy of it."
"Keep your voice down! Everyone knows that no one is close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Whoever touches him will be in trouble!"
The discussion among the crowd continued, but Murong Yanche, the person involved, seemed to have heard nothing. He sat upright like a pine tree, pretending to be deaf to everything.
In the hall, there was only one person with an unhappy expression, and that person was Prince of Yan Murong Sheng.
At this moment, he suddenly stood up and said to Emperor Wen, "Brother, I think this is inappropriate. The position of the Crown Princess is related to the future head of the harem, and must be selected from the women of my Tianqi country."
This statement was extremely straightforward, but it also made many ministers nod their heads sincerely.
Indeed, if the future queen of Tianqi Kingdom is not a Chinese, then wouldn’t that be making wedding dresses for another country!
Emperor Wen narrowed his eyes, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
Prince Murong Sheng of Yan smiled slightly, looked at the timid Princess Mingzhu sitting in the female seat opposite, and said, "My son can be the Crown Princess of Simon Kingdom!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!
Even the parties involved, Princess Mingzhu and Huangfu Jing, were extremely shocked!
It's not okay for someone else's princess to be your country's crown princess, but you actually let your daughter be someone else's crown princess! This is too double standard!
Huangfu Jing's mouth twitched, and he shook his head and said, "Your Highness Prince Yan, my father's task for me this time is to form a marriage alliance, and I already have a fiancée!"
"So what? You haven't married yet, so just divorce your fiancée!" King Yan Murong Sheng said as a matter of course.
Huangfu Jing said with difficulty, "I'm afraid this is not going to be easy!"
"It has to be done even if it's difficult. Do you know who the person next to you is?" King Yan said unwillingly.
Huangfu Jing turned and looked at Luo Fanjin.
Luo Fanjin, who was leisurely sipping tea, did not expect the topic to shift to herself. She blinked quickly.
King Yan raised his head and said, "This person is the female general who defeated your Simon Kingdom!"
Huangfu Jing frowned and stood up immediately, "Your Excellency is actually General Luo, how disrespectful!"
"May I know the general's full name?" Huangfu Jing swept his sharp eyes across Luo Fanjin's face.
Luo Fanjin, who had originally just wanted to watch the fun and steal a half-day of leisure from his busy life, could only stand up and return the greeting in a proper manner, "I am Luo Fanjin!"
"What!" A sharp female voice sounded, extremely harsh.
Everyone looked over and found that it was Princess Mingzhu who made the voice.
