Seeing that the little girl had behaved herself, Helian Nie finally felt his temples stop throbbing. He glanced at the seats of the Dongchen Kingdom's envoys.
Several envoys dressed in Dongchen attire were seated in the seats. Among them, there was one empty seat, which belonged to Si Beitaohua.
A cold glint flashed in Tao Hua's eyes. It's good that the ugly thing is drunk, so that it won't be bewitched again when it sees Si Bei Tao Hua's face.
That's right, the villainous tyrant wasn't afraid of Si Beitao using Wenyi as a bargaining chip to threaten him.
He was afraid that his good-for-nothing daughter would be bewitched and seduced by Si Beitao's face, which was even more beautiful than a woman's.
After all, the scenes of Sisi swooning over handsome men were still vivid in the mind of the villainous tyrant.
Inside the banquet hall, the singing and dancing were in full swing, and few ministers noticed the movements of the two people on the dragon throne. Otherwise, they would have been amused by the adorable appearance of that certain Sisi.
Of course, many people noticed it, such as Wenren Yu and Helian You.
"Pfft, Xiao You'er, did you see your little princess? From now on, her drinking capacity will definitely be what people in the martial arts world call 'one cup and she'll be out of control'."
Wenren Yu waved her fan, her phoenix eyes brimming with uncontrollable laughter. The little princess was so funny; the Emperor's expression... hahahahahaha.
Helian You didn't speak, his delicate brows furrowing on his fair, round face.
Her dark, bright eyes withdrew from Helian Si and landed on Wenren Yu's glass of wine on the table, her small lips pursed slightly.
After the little princess drank it, she wanted to try it herself.
"Hey, you're not allowed to give me any. Your uncle doesn't want to see you acting crazy when you're drunk."
But Wenren Yu was quick-witted and nimble. He put away the fan, removed the wine cup from the table, and looked at Helian You with a warning.
Helian You: "..."
She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and silently ate her pastries, secretly noting in her mind: Uncle, you're not being a good person again today.
Suddenly, a noise came from the palace gate. A guard came to report that an envoy from the Eastern Chen Kingdom was outside requesting an audience.
A moment of silence fell over the banquet hall. People looked at the emperor at the head of the table, then at the several Dongchen envoys who were already seated.
His expression was strange, and he muttered to himself, "This envoy from Dongchen has quite the airs, arriving only now."
The Dongchen envoys sitting in the hall coughed lightly to cover their embarrassment, not daring to look up at Helian Nie sitting at the head of the table.
That man is the Empress's nephew. The Empress's family is very powerful, and even the Emperor has to show them respect. What do these lowly soldiers dare to say?
Helian Nie glanced at the little girl sitting beside him, still dazed but obediently eating venison. A look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he felt quite pleased. He took a sip of sake, and his thin lips parted slightly.
"Announce."
"Summon Envoy Dongchen to the palace!"
The eunuch's shrill announcement rang out, and soon, Si Bei Tao Hua, dressed in a peach-pink robe, stepped into the hall.
"The Eastern Chen Envoy, Si Beitaohua, pays his respects to the Northern Yin Emperor."
The soft, familiar voice made a certain Sisi, who was engrossed in chewing the fragrant venison, successfully stop the difficult action of picking up the venison with chopsticks.
She lifted her little face, her grape-like, moist eyes slightly tipsy.
It was as if shrouded in a thin fog; you had to strain your eyes to see even a little bit clearly.
"Oh, Father is right, Sisi is drunk, drunk! Otherwise, how could I see the fairy sister here? Phew, Sisi is so drunk my head is spinning~"
Sisi put down her chopsticks, gently patted her slightly flushed cheeks with her chubby little hands, and murmured to herself.
