Cang Yuan and Lu Shiyi stared intently at Jin Yan, thinking: Could it be that a second "Chi Yan" has appeared...?
No, this one seems even more powerful!
Lu Shiyi looked him up and down, trying to find something that could narrow the gap between them.
In Cang Yuan's mind, Chi Yan was somewhat "unreliable." He used to do some underhanded things in the open, which annoyed Cang Yuan a lot.
As a former bodyguard warrior, she couldn't charm or outmaneuver Chi Yan, but Chi Yan, despite his noble status, was a man who knew how to yield and even occasionally bow his head.
But the man in front of him was clearly no pushover. His inner strength was so powerful that ordinary people couldn't even reach it, and his aura made him feel immense pressure!
Meng Xu and Lin Xianzhi didn't think too much about it, they just felt that the man in front of them with a sword at his waist and a golden crown was very eye-catching!
His handsome face, sculpted by the god Cangluan himself, was even more dazzling!
Unlike them, Wen Yanche's wariness only appeared for a fleeting moment before transforming into undisguised appreciation and openness.
Such a man is the one he admires! If he could, he would also like to become such a dazzling general.
As Jin Yan came to her senses, she subtly scanned the handsome men one by one, finally fixing her gaze on Wen Yanche's face.
He felt genuinely relieved, and besides being amazed, he was also slightly shocked. It was like finally finding an opponent who could rival him after a long and tentative search on the battlefield. He felt gratified and even excited.
Wen Yanche's gaze was so open and honest that he couldn't help but look at him with higher regard!
In a few exchanges, the men present thoroughly examined each other from head to toe, and a silent tension arose.
When Leng Qingning turned her head unintentionally, she took in all sorts of expressions. Her delicate eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and then relaxed into a hook shape a moment later.
She spoke gently, as if nothing had happened: "Husband, husband, don't just stand there, come inside." Turning around, she smiled politely at Jin Yan, "Young Prince, please."
Jin Yan's gaze returned to his beloved. "Your Highness, please. Gentlemen, please come inside."
"Please." Everyone politely extended their hands.
"The young king of Dayue, my lord, and all your husbands have arrived!"
The moment the group entered the hall, it was as if a boiling pot had exploded, with all eyes turning to one place.
The ministers whispered among themselves.
"This, this is the young king of Dayue?" A middle-aged minister stared incredulously at the group of people walking by.
"The young king of Dayue is even more stunningly beautiful than rumored! My God!"
"Is that the young king's rightful consort? He is truly as handsome as an immortal from a painting!"
"He's not just incomparably handsome, he's one in a million! It seems that the description of him as unparalleled in the world that Lin Kingdom used to spread now seems far too conservative!"
"Look at His Highness's husbands! They are all outstanding men. Any one of them could be the head of the royal family!"
"Oh no, all of the young king's husbands are so handsome, then our Fifth Young Master... sigh..."
"What's the panic? Can't you see the young prince is right beside you?"
"Oh right, right, we also have the young prince. The young prince is no less capable than them."
"When will our Jin Kingdom's War God ever lose to someone else? In my humble opinion, our young prince has great potential and will surely be able to outshine all the other young men."
"I'm afraid the Emperor cannot suppress it," a minister said truthfully.
"Keep your voice down, don't let the young prince hear you. Even if you can't outdo him in looks, you can still win by a few pounds. Our young prince is the God of War! Just use the name of the God of War to make up for it by a few pounds and you'll be ahead!"
"That makes sense."...
Wen Yanche smiled slightly. The Jin Kingdom was truly a place of enlightened customs. The courtiers were so gossipy. What they thought was a quiet whisper was actually heard clearly by the others.
Leng Qingning felt a little embarrassed!
Jin Yan pursed his thin lips, making it impossible to discern his thoughts, but his tightly clenched fists betrayed the restlessness within him.
My palms were a little itchy, and my fist made a very slight cracking sound.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Jin Kingdom! May Your Majesty enjoy peace and longevity!"
The Emperor smiled and said, "Young King, please excuse your formalities. Gentlemen, please take your seats."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor's personal attendant respectfully lifted Leng Qingning's right hand and escorted her to the honored guest's seat.
The husbands sat down one by one.
"Your Highness, welcome to my Jin Kingdom. I have heard of you long ago, and I especially love reading your novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Therefore, I have sent messages to your mother, the Empress, several times, hoping that you can come to my Jin Kingdom as a guest."
"Actually, I am also a big fan of yours."
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingning and the others were all stunned; it was unexpected yet perfectly reasonable!
In contrast, the officials in the main hall were much calmer! Among them were quite a few of Leng Qingning's followers.
"Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty!" Leng Qingning smiled politely and thanked him humbly.
Emperor Jin waved his hand, "No need to be modest. With your great talent, even a little arrogance is fine. I still admire you! Isn't that right, my beloved ministers!"
The ministers quickly echoed, "The young king is exceptionally talented, a master of mathematics and divination, capable of composing poems and lyrics, writing books and composing music. I've also heard that he has mastered profound magical arts. He is truly a great talent!"
"Your Highness, please don't be modest. Your talent is rare even in the entire Hidden World! I heard that as soon as your book, 'Transmigrating to the Apocalypse, Empty-Handed and with My Husband, I Stockpiled Millions of Resources to Build an Ice Age,' was published, it sparked a grain-hoarding frenzy in Dayue, and the entire Yue Kingdom was in short supply of grain. Is that really true?"
Forehead……
"I am ashamed, my original intention was simply to hope that my people would cherish the present and value food. Peace is hard-won, and it is already a great blessing and fortune for everyone to have enough to eat and wear."
I just didn't expect it to trigger so many chain reactions.
"Your Highness, this old minister is also very eager to see what kind of work it is that could cause such a great reaction. However, the Sanshengluo Bookstore only offers this book to the people of Dayue. I have heard that you are the owner of Sanshengluo. This old minister begs Your Highness to open the book to the public so that we may also have the opportunity to see it."
"That's right, Your Highness. Please allow us to sell your books. Since your previous books were completed, we have been eagerly waiting for them. We have not had any better books to read. Please grant us your request." As he spoke, he was about to get up and kneel down.
"My lords, please don't stand on ceremony. Since you all want to read a new book, I will write another one when I return this time to fulfill your long-cherished wish!"
It just so happens that I'm about to start writing a new book, so I'll do you a favor.
The ministers were overjoyed to hear that there was a new book to read and thanked him repeatedly.
"Your Highness, we are very grateful for your kindness."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Leng Qingning smiled and nodded to the assembled officials, and then the eunuch announced the formal commencement of the banquet.
The Jin court officials were all very enthusiastic and extremely respectful, except for…
Jin was full of resentment. "Hmph, I've never seen anyone so smug since I was born! Look how proud she is."
"Second sister, have you forgotten the days when you stayed up late studying 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'?" Jin Yu scoffed at her.
Caught off guard, Jin Man retorted defiantly, "What necessary connection is there? So what if I... I read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Does that affect my dislike of her?"
