At this moment in Zhaoshu Palace, with Situ Xunxiao's voice, the atmosphere became unusually tense.

Zong Zheng Wei Mo smiled as he looked at Zhuge Feiyang on the lower right, then looked at Situ Xunxiao who was showing off his dominance. He had already made a plan in his mind. Zong Zheng Wei Mo laughed loudly before he spoke: "Tian Xi Kingdom and Yun Guang Kingdom are also full of beauties and talented women. I am very pleased that they value Luo Zha Kingdom so much. I will naturally consider the pros and cons."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting pursed his lips and smiled. There was something else behind Zong Zheng Weimo's words. On the surface, he seemed to be bragging about himself, but in fact, he was acting like an emperor and reminding the two of them that this was Luozha Kingdom and they had no right to take over.

"Your Majesty is right. It's just that I have a lot of military duties. I came here to take a break from my busy schedule. I'm afraid I can't afford to delay for too long." When Zhuge Feiyang turned his head away to ease the awkwardness, Situ Xunxiao picked up the wine jar and drank it all in one gulp. He blurted out the words without giving any explanation, as if he was talking about his daily life.

Busy with military affairs?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows. This Situ Xunxiao was indeed not a good person. He said that he was busy with military duties and took a break from his busy schedule. It sounded like he came here specially because he attached great importance to the marriage with Luozha Kingdom. However, in the ears of the emperor, it did not mean that.

As everyone knows, Situ Xunxiao has made great military achievements. If his marriage is in vain and he returns empty-handed, he will be at odds with him. In the future, if the two countries become hostile, or if he takes the opportunity to retaliate, the disaster for Luozha Kingdom can be predicted.

What a great phrase: busy military affairs!

"Look at what Prince Zhan said. The king and the crown prince are busy with official duties. Prince Zhan made it sound as if the king was a leisurely wild crane wandering around." Regent Prince Nangong Muchi, who had been sitting lazily below, glanced with his peach blossom eyes and spoke quietly. Just this smile was enough to captivate many ladies from wealthy families.

"The princes of both countries are very busy. They have come all the way to my Luozha Kingdom. I naturally understand the sincerity of both countries. The banquet held tonight is to give each other a chance to show their understanding." Zong Zheng Weimo suppressed the tense atmosphere and winked at Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen, who had long received instructions from the Emperor and Empress, naturally took over the Emperor's words and said softly, "Your Majesty, all the young ladies are here today, why don't you let everyone present show their talents?"

"I have also decided that Concubine Zhen's suggestion is very good." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's hoarse voice floated out from behind the colorful veil.

"What's wrong with the princess' voice?" As Zong Zheng Xiaoting finished speaking, people started to talk about it everywhere.

"Is the Second Princess's injury okay?" Concubine Zhen followed the Empress' instructions and expressed her concern.

"I was accidentally bumped into today and my old illness recurred. Doctor Chen has already examined Xiaoting. It was just a recurrence of the old illness that caused some chills and coughs. Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen, don't worry." Zongzheng Xiaoting answered obediently and explained the reason for the colorful veil and hoarse voice today without leaving any trace.

On the other side, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words also made Zhuge Feiyang secretly relieved, but all these expressions fell into Situ Xunxiao's eyes. He raised his sword-like eyebrows, and drank the wine again thoughtfully.

"In that case, Your Highness the Crown Prince and the two princes, why don't you join in the fun? We can't ask all the young ladies to behave like this while not having your talents displayed, right?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting said as he smiled. He was very satisfied with the change in his voice caused by Doctor Chen's pill.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Nangong Muxi's eyes flash with mockery.

It turned out that the words "nothing more" came from the mouth of the second princess. It seemed like it was just a contemptuous remark from a self-righteous and rude princess.

At this moment, Qingqing, who was beside Zongzheng Xiaoting, looked at her master in surprise. What was the princess's sudden behavior like? Didn't she want to avoid too many surprises? Why did the princess still want to show off herself?

Just when Qingqing was about to speak, Zongzheng Xiaoting shook his head at Qingqing seriously, his eyes full of caution.

"Okay, okay! Ting'er's suggestion is also interesting. In my opinion, it is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Let's do it this way." Zong Zheng Weimo clapped his hands without allowing any discussion and made a decision according to Zong Zheng Xiaoting's suggestion.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting lowered his eyelids, knowing full well in his heart that the emperor's action was to show everyone his love for him, and this display also made Zong Zheng Xiaoting realize something in his heart.

No matter how good he is to Concubine Rougui, the choice of a king is always about the country.

However, this kind of cognition also made Zong Zheng Xiaoting feel uncomfortable. The thinking did not belong to this era. Even if he could understand the helplessness of the country, he could not agree with the practice of abandoning family affection for this. The unhappiness in his heart made Zong Zheng Xiaoting feel that it was not worth it for Concubine Rougui.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting stared at the main table, and his breathing became heavier as he saw the emperor's thoughtfulness towards Concubine Zhen. The hand that was originally holding the wine glass began to tremble slightly as she tightened her grip.

Noticing that Zongzheng Xiaoting was not feeling well, Qingqing hurriedly called out in a low voice, "Princess..."

"I'm fine." Zong Zheng Xiaoting kept breathing in and out, trying to calm down the injustice in his heart, and couldn't help shaking his head at his impatience. He knew clearly that he had chosen to marry a foreign prince, and that he would not only leave the palace, but also planned to use the emperor's guilt to exchange for the stability of his two aunts' status. However, he was still angry because he knew that this was the inevitable choice of the emperor. He was really worn down by the alien world and lost his pride.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting promptly re-examined his impetuousness and overestimation of himself in recent days.

In the banquet hall, young ladies from various families were demonstrating their arts of calligraphy and painting one after another, but Zong Zheng Xiaoting had no interest in appreciating them. In recent days, many things had happened because of his increasing impetuousness and inflated arrogance. If he had not expressed his disdain for Nangong Muxi today, he would have suffered even greater losses in the future.

As he reflected on himself, Zong Zheng Xiaoting gradually began to smile. Fortunately, everything was still in time.

"Luozha Kingdom is indeed full of talented people. I wonder if the second princess's talent is the best among all others?" Nangong Muxi crossed his arms, looked uninterested, and asked with a smile in the direction of Caisha.

"I didn't expect that the Regent has such high expectations of me. This princess is also curious about how versatile this world-famous Regent is?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked back calmly, with an air of wanting to fight back.

Situ Xunxiao, who was sitting nearby, glanced at Nangong Muxi, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Oh? Second Princess, do you mean that you are looking forward to me more?" These frivolous words were full of double meanings.

Upon hearing this, Qingqing widened her eyes in displeasure behind the colorful veil, but Zongzheng Xiaoting did not care. The more he disdained her, the more likely Nangong Muchi would misinterpret his previous words, which would save him the trouble of probing into the matter. Then, he would inevitably try his best to act superior and contemptuous.

I know very well that these words are meant to mock the fact that the one who is to be married off is the Crown Prince of Tianxi Kingdom, but the princess of my country has a special affection for him.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised the corners of his lips and a smile appeared in his eyes.
