As always, Qi Muxiao's gaze followed Ming Beiya from the moment he came into her line of sight, watching him lead Mo Shisheng onto the stage, only to have Mo Shisheng pull her hand away and leave.
There was no displeasure on his face, but rather a doting look in his eyes, a side of Ming Beiya that Qi Muxiao had never seen before.
In her memory, the man was as aloof and noble as an immortal, always indifferent to everything, as if nothing could stir his emotions.
However, everything about him changed in front of Mo Shisheng. He could smile, even if the curve of his lips was very faint, Qi Muxiao could still tell at a glance that he was smiling, and the doting look in his eyes was overflowing.
Watching the two on stage whispering to each other as if nothing was wrong, Qi Muxiao bit her lip tightly, forcing herself to lower her eyes, and drank the wine in front of her in one gulp.
The spicy liquor slid down his throat, and he couldn't help but cough softly.
Mo Shisheng pushed Ming Beiya away and sat down. As soon as she sat down, she noticed that cold gaze had locked onto her again.
She frowned slightly, knowing that the gaze belonged to Feng Yi, so she kept her eyes down and didn't look at him.
Feng Yi slowly withdrew his gaze, looking at the belt wrapped around his arm. A bloodthirsty smile spread across his lips as he stood up, his voice slightly cold as he said, "I wonder if the Grand Preceptor of Qi Kingdom would be willing to part with it?"
Ming Beiya raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Feng Yi. He gently peeled the grape with his slender hand and slowly brought it to the lips of the girl in his arms, which made the girl roll her eyes again.
He wasn't annoyed, and slowly leaned closer, "Ah Sheng, so many people are watching, be good."
"..."
Mo Shisheng's lips twitched slightly. This man knew perfectly well that his actions had just attracted almost everyone's attention.
Finally, Mo Shisheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat the grape that Ming Beiya had offered to her lips.
Ming Beiya then withdrew his hand, took a handkerchief from the side to wipe his fingers clean, and said in a cold voice, "No, there are many outstanding women in Qi Kingdom. The most noble princess is sitting right across from you, why not take a look?"
If they didn't know the purpose of the banquet at the beginning, now everyone probably does.
A marriage alliance!
A marriage alliance between two countries!
But today, people from two countries have come. Feng Yi is only the national advisor of Feng Kingdom. In terms of status, the Crown Prince of Nanxiao is more prestigious.
Many people present had been to the Gara Academy and naturally recognized Nanxiao.
Qi Muxiao was no exception. However, after hearing Ming Beiya's words, her already pale face turned even more bloodless. She stared wide-eyed at the two people on the stage in disbelief.
But Ming Beiya paid no attention to anything else; his heart and eyes were only on Mo Shisheng.
"I am unworthy of the noble princess, so how about I offer this to the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom?"
Feng Yi curled his lips into a wicked smile, his words almost completely offending the Qi Kingdom.
However, Qi Jingling could only suppress his anger. He chuckled dryly, knowing that neither the Feng Kingdom nor the Nan Kingdom could withstand the pressure from his Qi Kingdom.
Nan Xiao, with his refined and noble air, chuckled upon hearing Feng Yi's words, "Very good."
Upon hearing this, Qi Jingling immediately said, "Xiaoxiao, go sit next to the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom. For the next few days, you'll be responsible for showing him around the capital, understand?"
The last three words were emphasized, startling Qi Muxiao so much that she instantly snapped back to reality, and her eyes gradually reddened.
