C460 460 ambassadors from the State of Feng Lan

The corner of Rong Qi's mouth held a faintly discernable smile. Seeing that Yan Yuan was actually so obedient under the gaze of his wangfei, there was no trace of the legendary cold-blooded and ruthless Prince Jing.

That honest appearance, using a very suitable word to describe him, was — fear of the inside.

A dignified Prince Jing of Easternum, with a reputation of being afraid of others, he wondered what the others' reactions would be.

Rong Qi secretly laughed in his heart. He finally understood why Yue'er was so sure that Yan Yuan would help her cover up the truth back then on Crown Princess Jing's behalf.

He directly ignored Yan Yuan, cupped his hands, and bowed to Liu Ruo Qing, saying, "In regards to Yue'er's matter, I have burdened the imperial concubine."

Hearing Rong Qi's words, Yan Yuan's face turned ugly, but the warning gaze of the princess just now told him not to make a sound, so he decided to drink his tea at the side instead.

"Since I've already been implicated, there's no need for Crown Prince Rong to say these kind words."

Liu Ruo Qing said with a smile, but her tone was not polite at all.

The smile on Rong Qi's mouth stiffened, he did not expect Liu Ruo Qing to speak in such a straightforward manner.

"Prince Rong, why have you come to find us?"

She knew that Rong Qi had come to find them for the sake of Xiao Yue. If he had a way to take Xiao Yue and leave, it would naturally be the best.

At least, letting Rong Qi think of a way to take it away was better than letting Yan Yuan think of a way.

At this time, Rong Qi did not continue to beat around the bush, and directly explained his thoughts to the couple.

"Your empress dowager's birthday is coming up in half a month. I want …"

After separating with Yan Yuan and his wife, Rong Qi went back to his residence.

Furthermore, when Yan Yuan and Yue Shan came out of the restaurant, because of the cold weather, everyone shrank their necks and no one noticed them.

"Rong Qi's method is not bad."

After walking for a while, Liu Ruo Qing spoke in a low voice.

"We'll see when the time comes."

Yan Yuan did not believe in Rong Qi at all. A family being able to control the imperial government of the North Guard, no matter what the reason was, the other party was not a simple person.

After the two of them returned to the Duke Palaces, Liu Ruo Qing told Xiao Yue everything that Rong Qi had told them.

Xiao Yue looked at Liu Ruo Qing in shock, and did not say anything for a long while.

"Xiao Yue?"

Seeing that she was stunned and did not say a word, Liu Ruo Qing could not help but call out to her.

"Princess."

Xiao Yue came back to reality and never thought that Rong Qi would use such a method to leave King Jing Palace in the name of the law.

"What do you think?"

Liu Ruo Qing asked her for her opinion.

Xiao Yue looked at Liu Ruo Qing. Even though she did not want to accept the method that Rong Qi had said, it was indeed the right way to leave the Easternum.

Lady Liu had already helped her more than enough and now that she was pregnant, how could she bear to implicate her?

Immediately, he nodded, "Alright, I also feel that this method is feasible."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded and did not say anymore.

If Xiao Yue was unwilling, she couldn't force her to agree.

After all, marrying to the Easternum was the crime of deceiving the monarch, and it was not Xiao Yue who forced her to marry. Even if not for this matter with Xiao Yue, her identity as the husband might not be hidden for the rest of her life.

She also could not blame all of her crimes on Xiao Yue.

Because half a month later was the empress dowager's birthday, some of the subordinate states surrounding Easternum began sending their envoys to the capital one after another.

The prosperity of the capital had completely blinded the eyes of these small subordinate states.

For small countries like them, who relied on the heavens to help, such a luxurious scene was something they had never seen before.

Even a picture of winter snow was not as bleak as their places.

One by one, the envoys arrived at the Jindu and arranged to stay in the State Guest House, which was specially reserved for foreign guests.

Although this place was not far from the imperial palace, it was not built within the palace. Instead, it was built on a street with the imperial palace's nobles and aristocratic families.

On this day, an envoy arrived at Jindu.

A luxurious carriage pulled by twelve horses entered the city, attracting the attention of the people nearby.

Inside the carriage, sat a young lady. Easternum was considered an open country, but when the female servants went out, the carriage was surrounded, but the curtains of the carriage were all lifted up.

"I heard that this is Fenglan's envoy fleet. On this trip to the capital to congratulate the empress dowager, I heard that it was the Fenglan's most beloved daughter, Princess Feng Yi, and Prime Minister Lan Tu."

A person among the onlookers standing by the side of the road said.

"So you're saying, the young lady sitting on the carriage is Princess Feng Yi?"

"That should be right, it should be her."

"Tsk tsk tsk, such a cold day, yet she's still blowing the wind. Isn't it cold?"

When his words fell, someone sneered, "This Princess Feng Yi is so beautiful, she must be trying to let us Easternum see her for ourselves."

There was no lack of ridicule towards Princess Feng Yi for thinking too highly of herself.

"However, I heard that Fenglan is very wealthy, and seeing you today, you truly live up to your name."

Forget about everything else, just looking at the luxurious decorations on the carriage, the richness of the supplementary effect was almost comparable to their Easternum.

"So what if it is rich? And it still needs the protection of our Great Heaven Dynasty. Otherwise, no matter how rich it is, it would be snatched away by some neighboring countries."

"Hee hee, that's true."

Inside the horse carriage, Princess Feng Yi heard the discussions from the surroundings and a trace of anger flashed across her beautiful face. However, she had no choice but to admit that what they said was the truth.

They, Feng Yi, had a pleasant climate, full of sunshine and lived a bountiful life, comparable to a large country in Easternum.

However, their military power was insufficient and their combat ability was too weak, so they could only submit to the Easternum and become its subordinate states in order to seek for the protection of the Easternum for a hundred years of peace in Feng Yi's country.

However, when they heard the contempt the citizens of Easternum had for them, they were still extremely angry.

If their Fenglan's forces were strong, why would they need to rely on Easternum?

However, she only dared to think about this in her heart.

She ordered the carriage curtains to be drawn. She did not want to be watched by those ignorant and foolish people.

The frame of the car stopped outside the State Hotel, where an official in charge of receiving guests was already waiting.

The palace maids carefully helped her off the carriage.

He adjusted the heavy clothes on his body, withdrew the anger he had provoked on the street, and under the guidance of the palace maid, walked inside.

Before he could enter, he suddenly caught sight of a handsome figure from the corner of his eye.

She subconsciously stopped in her tracks. Not far away, a tall and slender man was walking in a certain direction.

Her slender and elegant figure was wrapped in a white robe with black borders. With just a glance, she gave off the aura of a king.

His face was cold, but it moved the hearts of those who looked at it.
