Concubine Sun was so cruel and cold-blooded in her emotions that people secretly called her the Witch Concubine.
Zhang You looked at the woman on the platform and felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.
The banquet began with singing and dancing, drinking and chatting, and it was very lively.
The banquet was in full swing when Tuoba Yan suddenly stood up, holding up his wine glass and walking towards Qiao Si. "The women of Tangye are indeed as beautiful as the rumors say. I wonder if this young lady would do me the honor of having a drink with me, my prince?"
Qiao Si didn't stand up. Tuoba Yan's eyes were so sticky and disgusting that she didn't want to agree.
The noblewoman sitting with Qiao Si taunted Tuoba Yan coldly: "Can't Prince Tuoba see? His Royal Highness Prince Han is still here. How dare you offend Princess Han like this?"
After she said that, Li Guanghan could no longer sit there. He picked up the wine glass and stood up, "Third Prince, your intention is good, but the princess has already been engaged to me, and will be married soon. Third Prince, you'd better find another beauty. I will drink this glass of wine on behalf of the princess." After that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Tuoba Yan's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he still smiled and said, "Prince Han is so protective of the princess. It's really enviable. The two of you are a talented man and a beautiful woman. I am sorry for being rude."
Having said that, Tuoba Yan took the opportunity to drag Li Guanghan down for several drinks. The Chiyan Kingdom was known for its wine, and Tuoba Yan was even known for being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. He was just getting revenge on Li Guanghan for offending him by deliberately forcing him to drink.
Zhang You looked at him with ill intentions and became more wary of him.
Qiao Si stood up and advised Li Guanghan to drink less. Li Guanghan glanced at her with a complicated expression and ignored her.
The banquet had already begun when Li Xianyu arrived late.
She was dressed in a golden dress with exquisite patterns embroidered with gold thread. The golden pearl hairpin on her head was dazzling and luxurious. She came slowly, surrounded by a group of maids, her face still showing her usual arrogance.
It seemed as if those months of house arrest were as light as a feather to her.
Tuoba Yan stopped pouring wine into Li Guanghan and looked at Li Xianyu with a stunned look in his eyes.
I originally thought that Qiao Si was already a beauty, but I didn't expect that there was such a beautiful and proud woman in Tangye.
"Xianyu, why are you so late?" the emperor's voice boomed, but there was no trace of blame in it. Li Xianyu bowed and said coquettishly, "Father, I'm only late because I'm preparing a gift for you."
"Oh? What gift?" The emperor replied in a good mood. He doted on his daughter very much, and there was some doting in his voice.
"I know that your Majesty has always disliked the small nation of Qingchuan. It just so happened that on my way here, they were so blind as to offend me. I simply dealt with them on your behalf. Does your Majesty like this gift?"
Li Xianyu knew that she had displeased the emperor not long ago, and that he wanted to establish his prestige and control these vassal states at this court meeting, so she deliberately resolved the issue of Qingchuan in the southwest of Tangye in order to please the emperor.
The emperor looked around and saw that the faces of the foreigners changed and they burst into laughter.
Among all his children, only Li Xianyu understands him the best. It's a pity that she is a girl, otherwise the position of crown prince could be given to her.
Tuoba Yan's eyes, which were obsessed with beauty, changed, his smile faded, and his face darkened.
Qingchuan had already defected to Chiyan. Li Xianyu did this to make an example of him and warn the monkeys, to punish him on behalf of the emperor.
The look he gave Li Xianyu at this moment had turned into resentment, but he quickly concealed it and did not show it.
Li Guanghan hadn't expected Li Xianyu to be so bold as to actually take action in the middle of the Wan Guo Dynasty. However, Li Xianyu's action on the grounds that Qingchuan had offended her was not foolish, and could even be considered clever.
Although he had drunk a lot of wine and was a little drunk, he could clearly see the emperor's emotions and he very much liked Li Xianyu's approach.
A hint of coldness flashed in Li Guanghan's eyes.
At the beginning, Li Xianyu dared to attack him, but was only confined to the house. Now looking back, even if she really killed herself, no one would let her pay with her life for it.
In the end, his life and death were no match for Li Xianyu.
Li Guanghan couldn't explain clearly what he felt inside.
He and Li Xianyu had never had any intersection.
Li Xianyu had been spoiled since childhood and was arrogant. At that time, he only wanted to be an idle prince. He felt that he and her, and even the prince, were people of different paths and could not work together. Therefore, his relationship with them was average, or even very bad.
Now, after a comparison, he clearly realized the gap between himself and them.
It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed. He was also the emperor's son, so how could he not expect fatherly love?
But he was no match for Li Xianyu, nor for the prince.
So, if he wants to compete, he must fight and snatch and clear the obstacles.
Qiao Si was not surprised to hear what Li Xianyu said. Li Xianyu always did things like this with ease.
He just glanced quietly at Tuoba Yan and Li Guanghan, taking in their reactions, and a thought quietly crept into his mind...
People go to high places, and water flows to low places.
Li Xianyu, it's time for you to pay the price for your previous reckless behavior...
Zhang You was as shocked as everyone else at the party.
If I had known that Li Xianyu was a psychopath, who would have thought that she would kill the envoy so blatantly and say it out loud in front of everyone.
After the emperor laughed, Concubine Sun giggled beside him, as if the incident was very funny. After laughing, the emperor waved his hand and asked Li Xianyu to take a seat.
Qingchuan was taken away so lightly. Qingchuan was originally a small country, and the person who came this time was the only heir of Qingchuan. Once he died, Qingchuan would have no successor.
Their light conversation could easily determine the survival of a small country.
The banquet continued, but no one among the foreigners dared to show any disrespect, for fear that the crazy princess sitting opposite them would kill them too.
After three rounds of drinking, Tuoba Yan suggested a talent show to liven up the atmosphere, and the emperor readily agreed.
Tuoba Yan personally went on stage and performed sword dancing, which won rounds of applause. He took the opportunity to invite Li Xianyu to the stage.
Li Xianyu sneered in his heart.
In the palace, she saw people the most. She knew Tuoba Yan's intentions very well. How could such a lowly person be worthy of her?
Li Xianyu rejected him coldly, showing him no mercy. "Who are you to be worthy of my presence?"
She was so arrogant that everyone gasped.
Chiyan was powerful, his troops were strong, and he seemed to be surpassing Tangye. Li Xianyu's ruthless offense really made them sweat.
The air stagnated for a moment.
The emperor was waiting to see what Chiyan's plan was by coming to the court meeting this time.
"Hahahahahahahaha! The princess is frank and straightforward. Your Majesty really has a good daughter!" Tuoba Yan freed himself and the stagnant atmosphere eased.
The emperor looked at him with a smile, but said nothing. Tuoba Yan continued to compliment the emperor: "Your Majesty Tangye is wise and powerful. That's why even your princess is so courageous!"
