Looking at the royal families of the two kingdoms in the central courtyard, Mu Qianqiu, though his mind was filled with a thousand thoughts, remained impassive as he burst into laughter. "The men of the Northern Kingdom are brave and warlike, and the women are as beautiful as fairies. It's said that the eldest prince is a leader among them, and the tenth princess is known as the most beautiful in the Northern Kingdom. The second princess of the Southern Kingdom is extremely intelligent, and it's said that the crown prince is charitable and has extraordinary medical skills. Seeing them today, they are all indeed the chosen ones of heaven. I am deeply impressed."
Eunuch Hai arranged for his servants to lead Bei Yan, Yan Nanshuang and others to take the first seat.
"No doubt, Your Majesty." Yan Nanshuang was quite humble when hearing Mu Qianqiu's praise.
Bei Yan was quite generous: "The Emperor is also like this. His reputation is far-reaching and Bei Yan has long admired him. And the princes of Tiansheng are all outstanding. Bei Yan has long wanted to meet them."
Speaking of this, I can't help but feel a little regretful.
Before, the God of War Tiansheng was famous among the four countries, but now his spiritual power has been reshuffled and he is far less powerful than the Second Prince.
The poor Third Prince sat in a corner, surrounded by a cold crowd, not even a minister offering a toast. However, he seemed content to be busy with something, seemingly unconcerned with his surroundings.
He even ignored the glances from many ministers.
The minister originally thought that the Third Prince would feel sad every time this happened.
As expected, the Third Prince had turned his grief and anger into strength and focused all his attention on the food on the table.
Little did he know that Mulansheng's eyes fell on the pile of peeled melon seeds and pulp on the table. He gently waved to the servant next to him and gave a few instructions.
The servant was slightly surprised at his prince's behavior. Although he was puzzled, he secretly picked up the meat that his prince had peeled personally and quietly had it transferred to the table of the seventh lady of the Yun Mansion opposite.
This cannon fodder character, who was the least noticed in the audience, was lazily supporting his head and feeling sleepy, but when he saw the peeled melon seeds, peanuts, fruit pulp, etc. suddenly appearing on the table, he immediately became alert.
Yun Miao raised her head and met the eyes of Mu Lansheng who was sitting opposite her.
The two of them locked eyes and flirted openly. Anyway, they were the least noticeable people at the party, so no one noticed their interactions.
However, Yun Xian, who was standing next to her, noticed the food on Yun Miao's table and immediately pouted at her personal maid, saying, "Why is her food always pre-peeled? Sui'er, I want some too. Bring it to me."
The maid who was called Sui'er immediately went to Yun Miao's seat and was about to take the food from Yun Miao's table without asking.
But Yun Miao slapped her claws hard, and she almost screamed in pain.
Afraid that if he continued to fight, it would cause too much noise, he could only give up and return to Yun Xian with grievance: "Miss, this wild woman cannot be provoked."
This was not the first time that Yun Miao knew about her barbarity. Yun Xian looked at the solemn banquet and thought that if Yun Miao made a mistake on this point, it would surely anger the emperor.
"Forget it! I'll have a chance to make her regret it later." Although she couldn't grab the food, Yun Xian was not going to let Yun Miao go.
Originally, Yun Miao could not participate in this banquet as an "illegitimate daughter".
But for some unknown reason, Daddy brought Yunchun along.
Fortunately, among the two daughters of the prime minister's family, Yunchun is just her foil except for Yunmian who is married.
But this supporting role had no fear or respect for her at all, and Yun Xian had long wanted to avenge the three-month confinement.
"I've heard that His Highness the Third Prince is incredibly powerful and intelligent, and is considered Tiansheng's number one war god. If we were to judge purely by spiritual power, that would be an insult to His Highness's past achievements. I, Bei Yan, deeply admire people like His Highness." Suddenly, Bei Yan brought the topic directly to Mu Lansheng. He raised his glass and pointed it towards Mu Lansheng: "Bei Yan toasts His Highness the Third Prince."
Suddenly, there was a slight awkwardness at the scene.
Prince Beiyan's words sounded nice and showed concern and appreciation for the injustice he was seeing.
But in fact, it is obviously a provocation, adding salt to the wound at a time when spiritual power is at its peak, and it is nothing but an insult.
Moreover, the Second Prince is currently the most sought-after candidate for the position of Crown Prince, but Bei Yan chose to mention Mulansheng alone, which makes his intentions unpredictable.
As expected, Mu Linyuan, feeling ignored, looked towards Bei Yan with a slightly deep gaze. He wasn't likely to be emotionally disturbed by such a trick. However, he was curious about Mu Lansheng. After the blood poison was cured and he subsided for a while, could he really face all the gains and losses calmly?
Losing Yun Miao means losing the lofty reputation and the strength that he is ashamed of.
Mulansheng, you can't catch up with me anymore.
Yun Mian, who was standing next to him, considerately poured tea for Mu Linyuan: "Your Highness, you should drink less alcohol. It's not good for your health."
This couple, both handsome and pretty, attracted so much attention and envy.
However, facing the attention from all sides, Mu Lansheng truly didn't care. In fact, his aura was even calmer than before. He raised his narrow eyes and locked them with Bei Yan. His deep gaze was like a wolf that had just finished foraging. While not possessing a bloodthirsty oppression, it held a certain casualness that made one wary. "Prince Bei Yan, you are too kind. Lan Sheng is but a common mortal of the First Order. Tiansheng is a land of outstanding people and powerful warriors. Lan Sheng is unworthy of the title of the First God of War."
"That's not true. Although the Third Prince has no spiritual roots, that doesn't erase his past glory and the contributions he made to Tiansheng. What will happen in the future is unknown. Bei Yan's admiration for the Third Prince is based on facts, and those medals are absolutely indelible." Bei Yan raised the wine glass in his hand and pointed it in the direction of Mu Lansheng: "Bei Yan toasts to the Third Prince."
After he finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp, and the cup was empty.
Mulansheng also drank the wine in the cup.
The conversation between the two made many old ministers present feel ashamed. After all, they had all been close to the Second Prince because of the court reforms during this period.
Thinking about the stability of Tiansheng, most of the credit goes to the Third Prince. They are not as frank as the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom.
"Seeing that everyone is in a good mood, this prince's second sister has also prepared a program for you..." Suddenly, the calm and quiet Yan Nanshuang spoke.
As one of the few princesses in the Southern Kingdom who possessed both civil and military prowess and possessed a calm personality, Yan Yujiao had considerable support among the people of the Southern Kingdom. After all, the Southern Kingdom had had precedents of empresses before, so Yan Yujiao's willingness to perform was undoubtedly a rare opportunity.
"It would be my great honor." Mu Qianqiu said.
Yan Yujiao performed her piano skills. She sat in the center of the hall, and soon the melodious piano music filled the entire banquet hall.
"She is worthy of being the talented second princess of the Southern Kingdom. Her piano skills are only found in heaven!" The old ministers immediately fell into the flattery.
Looking at the performing woman, Mu Qianqiu above fell into deep thought.
The visit between the two countries in the north and south is definitely not that simple.
Historically, foreign nations have formed friendships for the purpose of forming marriages.
