After meeting with Eunuch Li, Liu Mengli asked directly, "Eunuch Li, has His Majesty the Emperor of Wei agreed to meet with us?"
In response to Liu Mengli's questions, Eunuch Li naturally answered all his questions. After all, the current situation involved diplomatic relations between two countries, and every detail could have a profound impact on the overall situation.
Eunuch Li smiled slightly and replied respectfully, "Our Emperor Wei has expressed that as the host of Wei, he has not fulfilled his duties as a good host. Therefore, he has asked me to inform Her Majesty the Empress that a banquet will be held tomorrow at the Royal Restaurant at the Royal Yuya Villa. Her Majesty can first taste the delicacies of our Wei Kingdom before discussing business."
Although Liu Mengli was no stranger to delicious food as an emperor, she didn't take it to heart. She was more concerned about how to use this meeting opportunity to achieve her own goals.
Liu Mengli asked Eunuch Li, "I wonder what else His Majesty the Emperor of Wei said? Please tell me in detail, Eunuch Li, so that I can be fully prepared."
Eunuch Li pondered for a moment and said, "When His Majesty heard you were going to visit him, he did ask a question, but I don't know the deeper meaning of it."
Liu Mengli asked, "What question did His Majesty the Emperor of Wei ask? Eunuch Li, please enlighten me. I need to understand its meaning so I can respond."
Eunuch Li said slowly, "Your Majesty asks: Is the current Empress of Canglan Liu Ruyan?"
At this moment, Liu Mengli exchanged a glance with her maid, for this maid was Liu Ruyan, her master and sister. The fact that Emperor Wei had mentioned Liu Ruyan alone clearly suggested that she had heard of her name somewhere. However, Liu Ruyan had indeed been the most popular choice for the throne within Canglan State.
However, Liu Ruyan preferred cultivation and freedom to the throne, so she gave the position of Empress to Liu Mengli and retired behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor of Wei knew about this, and Liu Ruyan's heart tightened as she secretly wondered about his intentions.
At this time, Liu Mengli looked a little lost. After all, in the Canglan Empire, Liu Ruyan's prestige and talent were unmatched. Many people in the Canglan Empire were not convinced that she had become the empress, and believed that the position of empress should belong to Liu Ruyan.
However, even the Emperor of Wei knew Liu Ruyan and believed that Liu Ruyan should be the empress of Canglan Empire. How could this not make Liu Mengli feel lost?
While hugging Liu Mengli, Liu Ruyan softly comforted her, "Mengli, the throne belongs to you. You should know that I am only a cultivator obsessed with cultivation and have no ambition to rule the country. You've done well enough so far. Don't be swayed by others' opinions. Believe in yourself and keep moving forward. You will surely create glory."
That is to say, Chu Fan was not here. If Chu Fan was here, he would be able to see a hint of fear in Liu Ruyan's eyes. Liu Ruyan was not afraid of that person, but was afraid that Liu Mengli would really quit. Then the court and royal family of Canglan Empire would definitely let her go back to be the empress of Canglan Empire, and then her freedom would be restricted again and her path of cultivation would be interrupted.
If I were to be confined to the palace of the Canglan Empire, wouldn't that be more painful than killing myself? Therefore, I absolutely couldn't let Liu Mengli give up the idea of ​​continuing to be the Queen of Canglan.
Liu Ruyan asked Eunuch Li, "May I ask what His Majesty Emperor Wei thinks of Liu Ruyan?"
Eunuch Li shook his head and said, "His Majesty did not say much after hearing that the current empress of the Canglan Empire was not Liu Ruyan. Instead, he asked me to tell you that the Empress of Canglan will welcome you at the Royal Restaurant tomorrow."
At this time, Liu Mengli burst into tears in Liu Ruyan's arms and said, "Sister, I told you that I'm not suitable to be the empress. Look, even the Emperor Wei thinks you should sit in this position. Otherwise, he wouldn't have met me today, but tomorrow."
It was only then that Eunuch Li learned that the maidservant beside the Canglan Empress was actually Liu Ruyan, and he was secretly shocked. You know, everyone in the Canglan Empire knew Liu Ruyan's name like thunder. The fact that Liu Ruyan hadn't become the Empress of the Canglan Empire was as unbelievable to people in other countries as the Wei Kingdom's decision to let Chu Fan become the Emperor of Wei.
Liu Ruyan continued to comfort her, "Mengli, don't underestimate yourself. The Emperor of Wei may not have the same intentions as you think. Besides, our visit today was a surprise. The Emperor of Wei may still be dealing with government affairs today, so he may not have time to meet with us."
Although Eunuch Li really wanted to tell the emperor that he was sleeping with the help of a palace maid, he held back because it would damage the image of his country's emperor.
It's worth noting that the Wei Kingdom has gone from near collapse to prosperity and strength in just two years. People from other countries who have seen the changes in Wei all consider the current Wei Emperor a wise ruler. Both the people of Wei and those from other countries agree that it's the Wei Emperor's diligence, love for the people, and dedication to governing the country that has transformed Wei in just two years.
However, as the eunuch beside the Emperor of Wei, Eunuch Li has always been by Chu Fan's side. There's nothing wrong with saying that His Majesty loves the people, but to say that His Majesty is diligent is a bit too much. His Majesty's laziness is something only we, the close ministers, know about. If others knew about it, the Emperor of Wei would be in a bad light in their eyes.
So Eunuch Li chose to keep silent. Anyway, what you said were just your guesses and I didn't lie to you.
Liu Ruyan continued to say to Liu Mengli, "Since His Majesty the Emperor of Wei won't see us until tomorrow, let's go back and refine the martial arts techniques you learned from Tengwang Pavilion. Perhaps we'll have more to talk about with His Majesty the Emperor of Wei at tomorrow's welcoming banquet."
