Wei Yuchen's eyes darkened. Looking at Wei Jie's face, which remained unchanged but indifferent from the bottom of his heart, he softened suddenly his voice: "I know you are not satisfied with this marriage, but you should also consider my position. Your reputation is there. Even if this marriage is arranged with someone, it may not be satisfactory. I have only been on the throne for a few years, and my foundation is not yet stable. I need them."
"Your Majesty, I am not dissatisfied, so you don't need to say these words." Wei Jie really didn't have the patience to listen any further, so he interrupted him immediately.
"Since you are not dissatisfied, why?" Wei Yuchen's words made Wei Jie sneer: "I am not dissatisfied with the marriage, but do I have to rush to make friends with him? I am afraid that this is not what Your Majesty would like to see? Since no matter what you do, it is wrong, why do you have to do it?"
After saying this, Wei Jie stood up and looked at Wei Yuchen coldly: "I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first!"
Wei Yuchen was so choked up by his words that he couldn't say a word for a long time. After talking for a long time, he became the villain in his mouth? Why didn't he think about what his existence meant to others?
"Do you think I like to live my life full of calculations like this?" Wei Yuchen slapped the table, his face livid as he glared in the direction where Wei Jie left, his eyes flashing with deep annoyance, as well as fear and uneasiness about the future.
When Wei Jie came out of the imperial study, he ran into Prince Kang who came to meet him. When he saw him, Li Hongtao showed great enthusiasm.
Looking at this hypocritical old fox in front of him, he let him talk non-stop in front of him. In the end, he just nodded slightly: "Sorry, I still have things to deal with. Prince Kang has come from afar. I will welcome you another day. Goodbye."
Li Hongtao didn't expect that after he had been flattering for so long, this person actually sent him away like this. Before he even opened his mouth to respond, he had already turned and left. His movements were clean and neat, which could be said to have trampled on his face. It was simply unreasonable for him to be ignored like this.
"Prince Kang? The Emperor is already waiting."
The eunuchs at the side were not surprised by such situations. Their Highness the Phoenix King had always been like this, and the Emperor had been patient and silent. So what was Prince Kang dissatisfied with? He did not care about his expression and reminded him directly.
Even if Li Hongtao hated it in his heart, he couldn't do it too badly. After all, he was now in Si You Kingdom's territory, surrounded by Si You Kingdom's confidants, and he couldn't let himself lose face here.
Originally, Wei Yuchen wanted Wei Jie and Li Hongtao to sit down and discuss the marriage, but Wei Jie's reaction just now made him completely give up this idea. Since he was so perfunctory about this marriage, why not let him make the full decision?
As soon as Li Hongtao walked in, he felt that the atmosphere in the imperial study was a bit weird. Sure enough, he saw the anger on Wei Yuchen's face that he had not yet retracted. Thinking of Wei Jie who had just left, how could Li Hongtao, who was so smart, not guess what the two had quarreled about?
He is now extremely grateful that he has many daughters and the one who married into the family is not the one he loves. Since Wei Jie is not favored by the emperor either, the two of them are really a perfect match.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed Prince Kang." As he spoke, he revealed a bitter smile. "My brother is too stubborn. He couldn't sit still when I just started. But don't worry, the marriage will not be affected at all. Even if the Seventh Princess marries in the future, she will be the Princess of Phoenix. The Seventh Prince will definitely not treat her badly. You see, they are both the seventh child. This is fate, isn't it?"
"Your Majesty is too polite. Being able to marry His Royal Highness the Phoenix King is a blessing that Xiao Qi has cultivated for several lifetimes. It is something that others can only dream of. This is an honor for our Xiao Qi, haha, an honor."
Wei Yuchen was being polite, and Li Hongtao naturally flattered him as well. Who wouldn't say hypocritical words?
He doesn't care about Wei Jie's feelings, so how could he care about Li Yuan's feelings?
If these scumbag brothers and scumbag father get together, the marriage they plan to arrange will definitely be a scumbag.
However, what they never expected was that not only they didn't care, the real owner didn't care at all either. Even Wei Jie didn't even ask or investigate. In his opinion, any woman who married into his Fengwang Mansion would have only one ending.
As for Li Yuan, it goes without saying that she can leave at any time if she wants.
So from the very beginning, this marriage was destined to be a meaningless union.
However, neither of the two people involved expected that this meaningless marriage would forcibly bring two people who had nothing to do with each other together.
Maybe it is really as Wei Yuchen said, they are destined to be together, but whether it is a marriage or a bad fate depends on their own luck.
Time flies and it is already the eighth day of August. The quadrennial Four-Nation Grand Gathering has finally kicked off.
The place where the Four Kingdoms Grand Gathering was held was Sifang Shengyuan, a special venue specially opened up by the royal families of the four kingdoms, which was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Sifang Shengyuan is located on the prairie ten miles away from the capital. It used to be a royal hunting ground. After careful and meticulous planning, it became the venue for the Four Nations Grand Gathering. Here, there are not only hunting grounds, but also various competition venues, and villas that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Even on the endless grassland, a large open space is specially opened up to accommodate yurts for everyone to enjoy and play.
On the first day of Sifang Sheng Garden's opening, various envoy groups set out from the capital one by one according to their countries. Of course, the first to move into Sifang Sheng Garden were the emperors of the four countries. Since the monarch of Yan State did not come, it was natural that Prince Yuhenyu received this treatment.
The reason for doing this is also to consider their safety. After all, during the Four Nations Gathering, there are too many people involved and no negligence is allowed. Naturally, they have to be as careful as possible. Their arrival was also decided suddenly without notifying the outside world, and even the time when each person appeared here was different.
At this time, the wisdom and bravery of the emperors of various countries were demonstrated. Their safe arrival proved that they were careful and cautious enough, and also set a good example for the envoys of various countries. After all, only the envoys with an emperor in charge were worth competing.
As the host country, Siyou Kingdom was naturally the last to appear. The first to appear was Siyou Kingdom's in-law Mei Kingdom, followed by Yan Kingdom and Tiandu Kingdom.
No matter which country it is, those who walk in the front are always the royal family, civil and military officials, followed by the underworld forces, merchants and gentry, and finally, the civilians who participate in various names.
All along the way from the capital to Sifang Shengyuan, people from all walks of life in Siyou Kingdom gave the guests the highest cheers, and the festive atmosphere was everywhere they went.
Flowers, red carpets, and flags were all prepared. It had been a long time since Siyou Country had been so lively.
As soon as the envoys from Mei Country set out, people immediately recognized the identities of the visitors from the logos on the carriages. From time to time, people started to talk: "Look, look, isn't this the carriage from the Prince Kang's Mansion in Mei Country? I heard that the future Princess Phoenix of our Prince Phoenix is from the Prince Kang's Mansion!"
"Wow, there are so many carriages. I wonder if the future Phoenix Princess is sitting in one of them. I'm really curious. What do you think, what kind of person is worthy of our Phoenix King?"
Perhaps people were so curious that even God couldn't help but sneeze. A sudden gust of wind lifted the curtain of the carriage. Even if it only flew for a moment, it allowed the onlookers to see the person sitting in the carriage. When the curtain fell, the discussions below came like a torrent of water.
"I saw it, I saw it, it was beautiful, really beautiful. There were several women sitting in the carriage of Prince Kang's mansion. Although I don't know which one they were, they were all very beautiful!"
"Yes, yes, the woman in red is so beautiful, and the woman in yellow looks very gentle. And, the woman in green is very heroic and generous. No matter which one it is, it's worth looking forward to!"
…
Faced with the discussions that were getting louder and louder, the people in the carriage couldn't ignore them even if they wanted to. Fortunately, the people were all very kind, and they didn't hear any bad words from them. Instead, they gave them very high praise, which greatly satisfied their vanity while making them secretly happy. It seemed that this trip to Siyou Country was really the right decision!
But they never thought that people's kindness all came from their status as candidates for Princess Feng.
If they were not candidates for the future Princess Feng, but came for other royal relatives of Siyou Kingdom, I wonder if they would still receive such high evaluations?
Because in Siyou Country, the evaluation of King Feng Wei Jie has always been very bad. Why is it very bad?
Those who speak well of him would like to praise him to the sky. These people are basically the kindest people in Siyou Country.
Those who say bad things about him try every possible means to make up all kinds of rumors, and even stage all kinds of farces in the streets, and put the blame on the Phoenix Palace. But Wei Jie is the kind of person who doesn't care about anything. No matter what it is, he never comes out to explain. Over time, it is not surprising that fans turn into passers-by, and passers-by turn into fans.
This kind of people, including the emperor, are those who cannot bear to see Wei Jie doing well.
Water and fire are inherently incompatible, so since it concerns the reputation of the Phoenix King, naturally no matter how much trouble they make, there will be no clear result.
If it weren't for the marriage relationship with Prince Feng's Mansion, no one would have taken Prince Kang's Mansion seriously. Now that Prince Kang's Mansion had passed by, among the royal relatives who were next to appear, those teams that were ready to wait for people to talk about them didn't even make a ripple.
On the contrary, when the eldest and second young masters of the General's Mansion appeared, their outstanding looks unsurprisingly caused many women to scream. Some bold girls even threw flowers and bellybands into their arms. Their behavior made Han Shu, who was usually gentle and kind, very embarrassed. Han Jin, on the other hand, did not care about such exaggerated reactions. It seemed that this was not the first time he had encountered this and he was probably used to it.
As for General Han and his other sons who followed behind them, they were treated coldly like never before. The huge difference in treatment was so great that even General Han couldn't help but frown.
The fourth princess of the Prince of Wei's Mansion who was walking in front was also unhappy. Seeing the man she liked was so popular, the hot-tempered little princess almost jumped off the carriage and pointed at those people and declared, "Han Jin is my man." If it weren't for a few sisters holding her back tightly, there's no telling what kind of hilarious drama this little bully could have caused.
In the next team, when Fengchi Villa appeared, it attracted countless people's attention, but because they were too low-key, they all drove in carriages and no one rode horses. Even if people wanted to spy on them, they had no chance, so they just passed by indifferently.
After Mei Kingdom, there is Yan Kingdom. The Prince Yu, who was able to excite the whole nation in Yan Kingdom, had already entered Sifang Shengyuan. Naturally, he had no chance to make everyone excited. As for the princes other than Yu Hen, although they were not bad, they were not as famous as Yu Hen. Some of them were even dressed too gorgeously and ostentatiously.
Even if the women like to look at handsome men, after seeing Han Jin and Han Shu, whose simple and outstanding looks do not require any special decoration, the faces of other princes seem to have made them numb. They can't see any characteristics at all. They even think, why do these princes look the same?
Some even think that they are too feminine and lack the courage and spirit that a man should have.
If these princes heard such comments, I wonder if they would vomit blood and collapse?
As for the appearance of the young marquis Shen Si of Dingxi Marquis Mansion, it was definitely the focus of everyone's attention. Shen Si has always been a flamboyant and unrestrained person, and he never refuses any beautiful woman. If someone throws a flower, he will flirt with her. He interprets the nature of a playboy to perfection.
As the saying goes, women don't love bad men. Shen Si's actions not only did not arouse everyone's disgust, but were welcomed by women. The screams, even outside the imperial city, could still be heard from afar, one wave after another. Even Li Yuan, who was walking in front, couldn't help but curse: "This playboy!"
Another person who makes people love and hate him is Prince Lianhua, Mu Lianhua, who is famous in the four countries.
His appearance was so dazzling. While others rode in carriages, he rode in a sedan chair. Surprisingly, the people carrying the sedan chair were all women in white who looked weak but were actually skilled in martial arts. Each of these women was elegant and cold as ice, which immediately raised the status of Young Master Lianhua.
Although Young Master Lianhua wore an enchanting lotus-shaped mask, the enchanting charm he exuded in his every move made countless women scream and shout in unison: "Young Master Lianhua, Young Master Lianhua!"
He is absolutely worthy of this title. Wherever he walks, a fresh and natural lotus fragrance will waft over and fill people's noses. It smells good instantly. As he leaves, the fragrance lingers for a long time, and you can't forget it even if you want to.
After Yan State, there is Tiandu State, which is difficult to distinguish between good and evil among the four states. People from the other three states often keep a respectful distance from Tiandu State. Even though the team of Tiandu State today is unprecedentedly grand, people's enthusiasm seems to have been extinguished all at once, perhaps because they are afraid of the terrifying poison legends of Tiandu State. Compared with the previous teams, their response is much more indifferent.
Even when the princesses of Tiandu Kingdom appeared in people's vision in a gorgeous and high-profile manner, they did not attract much attention, because in everyone's subconscious, they all felt that the reason why Tiandu Kingdom was called Tiandu Kingdom was that it was closely related to the poison, and each princess had inherited it. Anyone who got involved with such a poisonous woman would be in big trouble, so naturally they stayed away from her. After all, no one thinks that their life is too long.
Where are the beauties?
The beauties of Tiandu Country are not beauties, but poisonous women. Once infected, you will hurt yourself at best, and even die at worst!
Because all the poison essences of Tiandu Kingdom come from the royal family, therefore, the treatment of the royal family is far worse than that of other teams of Tiandu Kingdom. Hua Mao, the prince of Hua Palace, dressed in red, showing his unique evil and arrogance, coupled with his appearance that is more charming than that of a woman. Even though he attracted everyone's attention, people behaved very cautiously. Except for the cheers, none of the madness and obsession that appeared before appeared.
They are like fragile dolls, receiving everyone's "care".
However, people in Tiandu Country did not regard this kind of "care" as a good thing. Instead, they all had bitter faces. That kind of attitude of clearly wanting to get close but keeping a distance hurt more than just one or two hearts.
In contrast, the old guests, who had attended such occasions more than once, seemed much more numb.
From the curiosity of Mei Kingdom, the madness of Yan Kingdom, the indifference of Tiandu Kingdom, to the enthusiasm of Siyou Kingdom, one organization and team after another received corresponding care.
The Emperor and King Feng of Siyou Kingdom had already gone ahead and were not in the team that appeared, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the people at all. Among them, the most controversial one was the eldest son of Prime Minister Su who suddenly appeared here.
Su Yu was eighteen years old. Although he was the legitimate son, he was not the eldest son. Especially five years ago, when he was only thirteen years old, he accidentally killed his eldest half-brother. Although the government finally determined that he accidentally injured someone while protecting himself, the scandal of Prime Minister Su's family spread throughout the entire Siyou Kingdom. There were many different opinions and mixed reviews. In addition, the emperor only sentenced him to study abroad and he was not allowed to return to Beijing within five years, so people gradually forgot about the second young master of the Su family who was already famous in Siyou Kingdom when he was a teenager.
Now that the five-year deadline has passed, although the second young master of the Su family has returned, judging from the attitude of Prime Minister Su and the Su family, the status of this legitimate son of the Su family is obviously not as popular as the several young masters born to the concubine who angered the legitimate wife to death!
But, so what?
A concubine is always a concubine, and she can never replace the wife. Who let Su Chengshang's deeds in his youth be exposed by the young Su Yu? He wanted to give her a status, but with so many people watching, would he dare? Would he dare?
Even if he, the so-called eldest son, is not favored, even if he, the eldest son, is a murderer, so what?
Who made the news that Prime Minister Su had a mistress accidentally known to his long-ill wife, who was so angry that she died!!!
Less than a hundred days had passed, he brought his mistress and a son and a daughter to the house, forcing the usually gentle Su Yu to draw his knife. In the end, the eldest son died in an accident on the first day he entered the Su family.
So what if the so-called mistress cries and acts like a madman?
Because they didn't need to do anything, Su Yu had already turned himself in. This caught Prime Minister Su, who originally wanted to solve the problem privately, off guard. He had no time to make any arrangements before the Ministry of Justice came to his door. Even the emperor was alarmed. After the investigation, who wouldn't sympathize with Su Yu? Who wouldn't hate Su Dingsheng?
Originally, after this incident was exposed, Su Dingsheng's position as prime minister was over. However, that was when the new emperor ascended the throne and needed people. No matter how bad Su Dingsheng was, his talent was obvious to all. He was also lucky. The emperor appeased the Mu family on the grounds that Su Yu had been studying abroad for five years, and issued an imperial decree announcing that Mu Ying was the only mistress of the Su family. This indirectly hit those concubines who had improper relationships and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get promoted, and finally made those wives feel proud.
Since then, although Su Dingsheng's mistress had the status of a co-wife, no matter where she went, she had to bear the bad reputation of having angered the main wife to death and driven away the legitimate son. Even though he lost a son because of this, no one sympathized with her at all. People would always only remember the stain on her.
Not to mention this poor concubine, who was neither a lady from a rich family nor a daughter of a merchant, but a nobody with no status or position, without even a dowry, so naturally, those ladies of rich families would not take a fancy to her. Even if she was the concubine of the prime minister, so what? She was not even as good as the concubines and maids in the prime minister's mansion, let alone being compared with Mu Ying. She was definitely not even qualified to carry shoes.
As for her food, clothing and other expenses in the prime minister's residence, there is no need to worry, as someone will keep account for them.
Therefore, no matter what Su Yu did, he could not change his status as a legitimate child, especially when Miss Mu Ying was so outstanding. Even if the Mu family was in decline now, how could her son Mu Ying be worse than those illegitimate children?
Especially when Su Yu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion this time, his biggest goal was to take back everything he had. This was not only for his mother and the Mu family, but more importantly, to provide a strong backing to protect his sister from wind and rain in the future.
With such an unwavering goal, Su Yu's return is bound to cause an absolute bloody storm in the Su family.
…
As the teams from various countries entered Sifang Sheng Garden in an orderly manner, the originally empty garden was suddenly filled with colorful flags and bustling voices. There was an endless stream of people in front of the tents of various countries, and voices of greetings and friendship were heard one after another.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Finally, before dark, all the settlement work was completed.
Important figures from various countries were invited to the luxurious dinner prepared by Wei Yuchen.
In this star-studded VIP banquet attended by princes and princesses, everyone's appearance attracted the audience's attention, but the most curious ones were the mysterious Fengchi Villa, Mingyu, Tianyahaige, and Zihuang Palace.
They are not affiliated with any country, but have their own potential advantages.
Fengchi Villa is proud of every aspect, especially its wealth and power which is unmatched, and its future development prospects are also very good.
Mingyu is low-key and luxurious. Although he rarely appears in the world, if he takes action, there is no chance of survival.
Yes, they are the killer group that everyone in the martial arts world fears. They hold the vital points that all countries, dynasties and factions fear the most. If they don't take action, it's fine. But once they do, there will be bloodshed.
Tianyahaige is a secret organization headed by Young Master Lianhua. More famous than this organization is Young Master Lianhua himself, the first descendant of the great medical saint Mei Yuan. As for the current activities of this organization, there are no particularly noteworthy features. Instead, Young Master Lianhua's medical skills are often compared with those of Yaowang Valley, Ghost Doctor Fengchi, etc., and as the comparisons are made, his popularity naturally increases.
It seems that there is no future, but in fact it should not be underestimated. It is precisely because of its mystery that people are wary of it.
As for the Purple Phoenix Palace, it was an organization founded by the goddess Nie Zichan. At its peak, its reputation spread to four countries and it even successfully attracted the attention of the Dragon Empire. Unfortunately, after Nie Zichan passed away, the Purple Phoenix Palace disappeared from people's sight.
Although many years have passed, no one has ever forgotten it. No matter whether it is the court or the martial arts world, they always remember the Zihuang Palace. They are even more deeply convinced that the Zihuang Palace has not disappeared, they still exist, and maybe one day they will rise again and deter the four countries.
Today, although the low-key Zihuang Palace and Mingyu did not participate in the four-nation event, they did attract Fengchi Villa and Young Master Lianhua. Compared with those big figures who often appear in people's vision, their appearance naturally caused quite a stir.
Prince Lianhua, Mu Lianhua, is dressed in a holy white robe that glows with its own light, and his face is covered with an exquisite and beautiful lotus-shaped mask. There are two girls in white serving on each side. Every step he takes is like walking on the crystal clear lake surface, with lotus flowers blooming all around him, as if he is a holy prince in a beautiful lotus pond. It is so beautiful that it is beyond words.
The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and he is unparalleled in the world!
Even if we don't see his face, how could a man with such a noble and elegant temperament be inferior to others?
How could such a perfect person not cause a stir?
Most of the female compatriots present were princesses, princesses, and noble ladies, but even so, they did not care about being reserved, and looked at Mu Lianhua with faces as red as peach blossoms, obsessed and impatient. If it were not for the last bit of shame in their hearts, they might have swarmed over him and crushed him into their arms.
In front of a handsome man, all the sense of propriety, morality, and shame are put aside, and the important thing is to get him.
"Tsk~ What? What kind of vision do these women have? What's so good about a man who looks good but is useless? If you have the guts, take off your mask and compare. I don't believe I can be worse than him!"
Yu Hen has been unhappy for a long time since the beginning of the show. Now seeing such a popular character appear, he felt that his self-esteem was severely hurt. He subconsciously choked out, and the dissatisfaction and jealousy on his face were naked. He almost held up a sign to tell others that he was jealous.
Wei Jie was dressed in a cold and intimidating purple-gold python robe, with a ghost mask covering his face. He sat on the side and drank by himself with a domineering and reserved look. The hustle and bustle around him seemed to be from a different world from him. Even when Yu Hen was chattering nonstop beside him, he didn't spare a glance.
Such an attitude was very awkward in Yu Hen's eyes. Just ask, with these two big men, one still and one moving, standing here, even a fool could tell which one was better? Although it is said that it is easy to change a country but difficult to change one's nature, he also wanted to be cool and cool, but the people around him were too patient, so he couldn't stand it and could only step forward and try to strike up a conversation.
"I say, are you interested? How long has it been going on? Why don't you say a word? Aren't you tired? You're not tired, but I'm tired just looking at you. Hey, hey, hey, isn't that the Young Master Lianhua you mentioned a few days ago? He's here now, can you at least give him a look?"
Wei Jie's eyes fluctuated for a moment because of Yu Hen's complaints. He slowly turned his head and seemingly obediently focused his attention on Mu Lianhua who happened to be sitting down. Mu Lianhua might have noticed his gaze, and she nodded at Wei Jie with gentle brows and unusually clear eyes. Wei Jie naturally responded with a polite nod.
Boss Yu Hen snorted unwillingly, as if with disdain and contempt. It was not known whether Mu Lianhua heard it or not. Anyway, the expression on his face was perfect and impeccable. Yu Hen's cold face seemed like a fist hitting cotton, extremely powerless.
Wei Jie calmly went back and forth between him and Mu Lianhua. Yu Hen felt uneasy when he looked at her: "Hey, why are you looking at me like that? I'm telling you, you can't have any ideas about me. As for him, if you're interested, I can ask him for you."
"The person you are interested in is here." Wei Jie glanced at him coldly and did not respond to him. Instead, he set his eyes on the woman in black who was walking towards the banquet hall.
"Ms. Feng Yan, the eldest lady of Fengchi Villa, has arrived!"
As the eunuch's shrill voice sounded, the originally bustling banquet hall suddenly became quiet. Not only Yu Hen and Wei Jie looked up, but even the emperors, royal relatives, and civil and military officials of the other three countries all unexpectedly looked over there.
This naturally included Su Yu, Shen Si, Han Jin, Han Shu and Hua Mao. Compared to the others who had eyes full of curiosity, when the five of them focused their gazes on her, their pupils shrank violently and their eyeballs almost dropped along with their jaws.
Oh my god, this can't be real, is this person her stand-in? Although her height is still less than 1.5 meters, but this, this level of thinness is too unbelievable, right?
They have never doubted their sister's ability. The face can be changed, but how can the body shape be changed?
But if it wasn't her, how would she appear in such an occasion?
Thinking of this, several people quickly glanced at her followers, and did not see anyone with a similar stature to Li Yuan. The only possibility was...
What the five people didn't know was that while they were looking around, someone reacted faster than them, and even took in the expressions of several people one by one. Then when he looked at the figure, a mysterious smile flashed in his eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey, that person you are talking about is her, right? She looks pretty petite. I wonder what her face looks like under the veil, but it shouldn't be bad. Otherwise, how could she have so many gentlemen going crazy for her?"
"That's right, do you remember why the King of Wei was poisoned last time? I heard that it was this woman who poisoned him. Just because the Han Mansion wanted to marry the King of Wei's Mansion, this woman was not happy. How could she be so cruel!"
"Is this true? No wonder the Fourth Princess always says that Han Jin is her man. I thought she was just flattering herself!"
"Not only Han Jin, but also the second young master of the Su family who just returned, the young marquis of the Shen family, and the Hua prince of the Hua Palace, aren't they all capable assistants of her Fengchi Villa? As the saying goes, those who are close to the water get the moon first. Now it seems that these young masters have probably become her lovers long ago, right?"
…
Faced with so many bad words, the person involved, Feng Yan, seemed not to hear them. Instead, she walked forward calmly. As she walked, the air seemed to be filled with a clear, sweet fragrance, which made those who smelled it intoxicated, enjoying it and leaving an endless aftertaste.
The girl in front of him had her face covered with a black veil, and she was wearing an eye-catching mysterious black gauze dress, which perfectly showed her slender figure. Although she didn't look plump, she was enchanting and charming. The nonchalance revealed in her every move made her bloom confidently and strongly in front of Wei Yuchen like a black mandala. When she greeted him in a dignified manner, the brilliance blooming in her pupils, which were like fine grape wine, made it difficult for people to look away.
There seems to be a kind of magic about her, a kind of magic that is unforgettable even if she doesn't show it or say anything.
The exposed skin was as delicate as fine porcelain, so delicate that it seemed as if it could be broken by a touch. In addition, the pair of slightly blurred eyes, with a look in her eyes, was full of alluring charm.
Although she is petite, the charm she exudes is unmatched among all the women present.
Just like now, Feng Yan has been kneeling down for a while, but Wei Yuchen on the stage is frowning, staring at her thoughtfully. If the people around him hadn't quietly reminded him, Wei Yuchen would have made a big fool of himself today.
"It turns out to be Miss Feng. Please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, everyone."
Feng Yan's voice is not as sweet and playful as an ordinary woman's. Instead, it has a deep and evil charm, which is very unique.
"Miss Feng, you are a guest from afar. Please take your seat." Due to the awkwardness just now, Wei Yuchen did not dare to ask any more questions and quickly asked her to take a seat.
But when Feng Yan turned around and looked towards the women's area, she found that it was already full of people without her noticing. She remembered there were a few empty seats just now, so how come it was full in the blink of an eye?
Although there were still seats in the men's area, she did not forget her identity as a woman. She raised her head slightly, her eyes flashing with deep mockery: "I didn't expect there would be so many female guests today. Since there are no seats around, how about trouble His Majesty to add a seat in the last row?"
Wei Yuchen frowned slightly. He obviously didn't expect that even such a small matter would require him to arrange it. However, this Feng Yan was no ordinary woman after all. Her appearance did cause a sudden change in the atmosphere.
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away. Miss Feng, please come over here. The seats in the back are too remote. How about moving you to a seat in the middle?" The eunuch had a polite but hypocritical smile on his face. Although Feng Yan was only ten years old, her mind was not that of a ten-year-old. She immediately raised her lips and smiled: "No need. The seats in the back are good. They are remote and quiet."
Although this eunuch was a prominent figure around the Emperor, the occasion today was special. All those sitting in the venue were people of status and position. It would be bad for a eunuch like him to offend anyone. Now that Feng Yan had said such tactful words, he was naturally grateful and went down to make arrangements for her.
Although she was sitting in a specially reserved seat in the last row, it did not affect Feng Yan's good mood at all. She nodded slightly to everyone and sat down confidently.
The women in front saw that she was in no way inferior to the ladies from noble families in manners, and subconsciously started whispering to each other. Even though Feng Yan could hear them, she pretended not to hear them and even had the chance to throw a coquetish glance at Su Yu and the others.
The five people who were originally skeptical were frozen into sculptures in an instant.
The welcoming continued, and then another large wave of forces came on stage. Just when everyone thought it was about to start, they suddenly heard -
"The eldest young master Ling Yi and the eldest young lady Ling Yun of the Ling Family Manor, the best manor in the world, are here!"
When Feng Yan heard this announcement, the teacup she had just picked up trembled slightly because of nervousness. Yun'er? And Brother Yi? Why are they here? Why didn't I receive any news before?
This time, not only Feng Yan was surprised, but everyone in the venue also looked up in shock. They obviously did not expect that Lingjiazhuang, which had never liked such occasions, would appear in the Four Nations Banquet in such a sudden way.
The Emperor of Mei Kingdom, who was sitting at the first seat side by side with Wei Yuchen, frowned slightly, raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
In the bright lights, a pair of perfect couple stood gracefully. The man was as handsome as a banished god, and the woman was elegant and otherworldly. As soon as they appeared, people could not take their eyes off them.
Ling Yi, about twenty years old, has picturesque features and is as handsome as a banished immortal. His black hair is tied up high with a white jade hairpin on the bun, which looks simple yet elegant. He wears a plain white robe, spotless, which makes him look even more elegant like a lotus.
This was his usual attire. Even in such an important occasion, it was no different from his usual attire. Feng Yan watched from afar and couldn't help but frowned slightly. Brother Yi, really, isn't he too perfunctory?
Yun'er is also perfunctory. She is already fifteen years old, and she doesn't like colors but loves white. She is wrapped in an elegant white gauze, with a straight and small nose, dark eyebrows like a painting, lips like vermilion, and especially a pair of watery and clear eyes, which are always free of dust and impurities. Her otherworldly temperament makes her look like a fairy from the nine heavens, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her.
Perhaps because of the rules of Yaowang Valley, the brother and sister have liked the color white since they were young and have never worn any other clothes except white. Now it seems that it's not that they don't like it, but other colors cannot match their temperament, right?
The arrival of the brother and sister made the ladies in the guest area so excited that they looked at Ling Yi and almost tore the handkerchief in their hands. The men in the guest area stared at Ling Yun's beautiful figure with shining eyes. Such a combination of handsome men and beautiful women was naturally warmly welcomed.
After some polite exchanges, Ling Yi walked into the men's area, while Ling Yun stared at the women's area in a daze, because Miss Feng Yan had been treated coldly before, and no one dared to make room for her at this time. It was no big deal to annoy Miss Feng Yan, but it would be bad if she was embarrassed in front of the Emperor.
