The jade pendant was carved by Zhou Yiyi himself when he was 10 years old and had just learned how to carve it. He gave it to Wan Mobei as a birthday gift.
The jade is good, but the carving is very crude.
But Wan Mobei has loved it since he received it, and has been wearing it all the time. He plays with it in his hands when he has nothing to do, and many of the edges and corners have been worn away.
When Zhou Yi saw Wan Mobei's expression, he knew that the guy was jealous again. He laughed secretly, but no longer paid attention to the people in the delegation.
The third princess and the second prince of Qilin Kingdom were both very bold and outgoing. From the moment they entered the hall, they looked into everyone's eyes without any hesitation.
The third princess was stunned for a moment when she passed Wan Mobei, and an ambiguous smile appeared on her lips.
The second prince took advantage of his height and scanned everyone in the hall.
Seeing those weak David girls, their faces showed disdain and dissatisfaction, even some contempt.
He held his head high, looking superior.
The girls originally admired the Second Prince's figure and appearance, but seeing his attitude, they all withdrew their gazes, and the expressions on their faces were not as happy as before.
After the Third Princess and the Second Prince had met Her Majesty the Queen and the host and guest were separated, the banquet officially began.
The Ministry of Rites specially arranged singing and dancing.
Everyone was extremely impressed by the newly rehearsed song and dance and was fascinated by it.
The Second Prince, however, looked impatient and snorted coldly, "Not only do these people from David look weak, but even their dancing looks limp. It's really boring."
He spoke without restraint and his voice was ridiculously loud. Even Her Majesty the Queen heard it. She frowned slightly and looked at him with a stern look.
The second prince turned a blind eye, picked up a glass of wine, drank it all, and complained to the third princess, "Royal sister, the wine of David Kingdom is like boiled water, without any taste at all.
Tsk tsk, I always heard that the people of David Country were elegant, but now it seems that they are just weaklings."
Many officials, young men and women present heard the Second Prince's unreasonable remarks and glared at him angrily, but the Queen did not say anything, so they had to endure it.
Unexpectedly, the Third Princess looked around at everyone arrogantly and said contemptuously, "My Royal Brother is right. Among the young men here, only General Wan is worthy of my bed. The others are not worthy of sleeping with me."
After the two siblings finished speaking, they burst into laughter, not caring about the feelings of other people in the room.
"Tsk~~ You really look down on people."
Before the two siblings could finish their wild laughter, a crisp sound came from the crowd, interrupting their laughter.
The third princess and the second prince looked in the direction of the voice and saw a stunning woman in a pink palace dress, looking at them with contempt.
The angry Second Prince slammed the table and stood up. "Whose little lady are you? How dare you be so rude? How dare you make fun of our Qilin Kingdom at a banquet between two countries?"
Zhou Yiyi did not hide the contempt in his eyes, "If it weren't for the eunuch leading the two of you into the hall, you would have been received by Her Majesty the Queen.
I really thought he was some country bumpkin from somewhere, completely ignorant, spouting nonsense that was unbearable to watch.
After saying this, she glanced at the Third Princess and said, "Don't say you look down on my country's young man. With your appearance..."
She glanced at the third princess and said, "In our David Country...tsk tsk...she wouldn't be able to find a husband."
The ladies and gentlemen present burst into laughter instantly.
The third princess slammed the table in anger and stood up, pointing at Zhou Yiyi and saying, "You ignorant girl, you are so filthy."
"Tsk~ Is this filthy?
Then what you said just now about my country's young master, when you mentioned my fiancé, was disgusting and truly filthy."
"You~~" The third princess was speechless after Zhou Yi's retort.
His chest heaved with anger, and a nameless anger weighed on his heart.
The second prince has always had a close relationship with the third princess, and they are both born to the emperor.
Seeing that his sister was being bullied, he angrily slammed the table, causing it to break into pieces, and the cups and plates were scattered all over the floor.
The hall suddenly fell silent, and the original singing and dancing music also stopped.
Her Majesty the Queen looked at them with a sullen face and said nothing.
Zhou Yiyi seemed unaffected and took a sip from the wine glass.
He exclaimed in admiration, "Good wine, hmm~~ This is the peach blossom wine from my David country. I picked the fresh peach blossom stamens this year and brewed it with mountain spring water."
It tastes clear and mellow, just like the ladies and gentlemen of our David country... beautiful~"
After saying that, she placed the wine glass back on the stone floor, making a crisp sound.
"It's a pity that I met an unreasonable person and ruined this good wine."
The Second Prince glared at him and said loudly, "A mere servant of no rank is speaking nonsense here. Is there really no one left in the Kingdom of David?"
Zhou Yi straightened his sleeves and glanced at the Second Prince with contempt, "Humph, we have plenty of talented people in David.
Any one of them is a hundred times stronger than the Qilin Kingdom, but to deal with two of them, a playboy like me is more than enough."
The third princess and the second prince didn't expect that Zhou Yi would curse at them one by one, and all of them were directed at them.
He angrily clasped his fists at the Queen sitting on the throne and questioned, "Your Majesty, is this how David treats guests?"
The princess stood up and said, "My David Kingdom has always been a country of etiquette and has always treated others with courtesy.
Please rest assured, Third Princess and Second Prince, we will treat our guests with no bias and will use the same etiquette as the country you are visiting."
This was tantamount to calling the Third Princess and the Second Prince disrespectful in disguise.
Although the third princess is the third child in Qilin Kingdom, the two princesses above her are both born out of wedlock.
Her status is equivalent to that of the princess of Qilin Kingdom, but she has not been canonized.
Seeing that the Princess of David responded to him on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, he said arrogantly: "Since Your Highness said so, why don't we have a competition."
The princess was not impatient, "Oh, of course, we also want to see the charm of Qilin Kingdom.
I hope you won’t let us down.”
The third princess gritted her teeth and smiled strangely, "I hope David's performance won't be so boring that it disappoints us."
The two of them decided on a competition between the two countries in just a few words.
While she was speaking, the princess used her eyes to ask Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty nodded slightly to her, and the princess felt more confident.
The third princess was used to being arrogant in Qilin Kingdom, and had never been like this before. Not only was she speechless by a court lady, but even the other side's princess had the upper hand over her.
He then said, "Your Highness, since we are going to compete, there must be a prize. If our Qilin Nation wins..."
When she said this, she raised her hand and pointed at Wan Mobei who was sitting below.
“If our Qilin Nation wins, I hope Her Majesty will grant General Wan to me as my consort.
Follow me back to Qilin Kingdom and never set foot in David again."
