Gong Shengrui entered the imperial study, he casually closed the door, and for a moment, the imperial study became much dimmer.

"Why did you close the door?" Duanmu Yan asked curiously. Was there a need to sneak around to look at a treasure?

Gong Shengrui automatically ignored her curiosity, and walked in front of the desk and opened a embroidered box.

"Hehe ~" Yuxuan's mouth opened a little as he giggled. He extended his hand to grab the item inside the embroidered box.

"I knows that you will like it!" Gong Shengrui's eyes flashed with an indulgent smile as he picked up the embroidered box and placed it in front of him.

"What is this?" Why is it glowing? " Duanmu Yan's face was full of curiosity, and wanted to reach out and touch it.

"Night Pearl!" Gong Shengrui's thin lips slightly opened: "The tribute from the Southern Tomb!"

Duanmu Yan was slightly taken aback: "Why would they offer tributes before the New Year?"

It was rare for Gong Shengrui to look at her directly: "Not bad, you're not as stupid as I imagined!"

"…" Was this considered praising her?

"On the surface, they seem to be the new emperor coming to congratulate us, but in reality, we are well aware of each other's intentions!" A hint of coldness flashed past Gong Shengrui's eyes.

Duanmu Yan blinked, and thought while tilting her head: "Could it be, they have ill intentions?"

"Now that the New Moon Dynasty's women are in charge, how can they be willing to continue bowing down? They are naturally here to probe the situation so that we can meet again in battle!" The coldness in Gong Shengrui's voice grew deeper. If there really came a day when they meet again in battle, he didn't mind completely turning the Nanling Dynasty into a part of the New Moon Dynasty.

In contrast to Gong Shengrui's complicated thoughts, Duanmu Yan's thoughts were extremely simple: "New Moon Dynasty, you are obviously the one in charge of this!"

"On the surface, it's you!"

"..." "Oh!" Duanmu Yan answered slowly, "When are they coming?"

"One month later!"

Hearing this, a hint of nervousness flashed across Duanmu Yan's face: "Can we not attend?"

"No way!"

Duanmu Yan let out an "ah" as she lowered her face.

"Don't worry!" I will not let anything that happens at yesterday's banquet happen again! " Gong Shengrui thought that she was still vexed over what happened yesterday.

Duanmu Yan was startled and asked foolishly: "Did we perform badly at yesterday's banquet?"

The corner of Gong Shengrui's eyes twitched, and his eyes met hers. "How much do you remember from yesterday?"

Duanmu Yan frowned. After thinking for a while, she said, "We remember that you were chatting with the ministers and we were eating …"

"And then?" Gong Shengrui, who had not waited for a long time, opened his mouth to ask.

"..." I can't remember! "

Gong Shengrui quietly sighed, and just as he had guessed, she beautifully finished the drink.

Looking at his dark and gloomy eyes, Duanmu Yan gulped. Why does she have a feeling that she did something bad yesterday?

"That... Did I do anything yesterday? "

"What do you think?" Gong Shengrui asked instead of replying.

"…" Duanmu Yan, oh, she really doesn't remember.

To prevent himself from carrying her and throwing her away, Gong Shengrui decided to retract his gaze and looked towards Yuxuan who was in his embrace who was happily playing with the Night Pearl.

"Since you like it, it'll be your little toy from now on!" Gong Shengrui didn't feel that it was inappropriate at all to give a priceless Night Pearl to a baby that was still swaddling inside.

Duanmu Yan stared at the Luminous Pearl in his hand greedily. "We want it too!"

"Do you have the nerve to fight over toys with your own son?" Gong Shengrui glanced at Duanmu Yan coldly, which meant that if you really could do it, then even Yuxuan would despise you.

After Duanmu Yan heard this, she was instantly silent.

"They only offered one Luminous Pearl this time?" Duanmu Yan withdrew and asked.

Gong Shengrui looked at the case: "There are still a few things on there, pick out what you like!"

Duanmu Yan's injured heart recovered in an instant. She ran to the side of the door, opened the door, and then turned back.

With the help of the light, it was possible to see that there were a few beautifully wrapped brocade boxes on top of the book.

"Father …" Father … "Father …" As the light shone into the imperial study, the light emitting from the Night Pearl in Yuxuan's hand gradually dimmed. In the end, it slowly turned into an ordinary, round pearl, causing him to move about unhappily.

Gong Shengrui comforted him by patting his back: "Be good! We don't want to bicker with women, especially stupid ones! "

Yuxuan seemed to understand what he meant, he looked back, and saw that his mother, who was too busy rummaging through the good stuff, had quietened down. "Uhh …."

He was a small man. He didn't want to lower himself to a woman, especially this woman in front of him …

At this moment, in Yuxuan's little head, unknowingly, this understanding had already been planted.

Moments later …

Duanmu Yan held onto a handkerchief and waved it in front of Gong Shengrui: "We want this!"

Gong Shengrui raised his eyebrows. After searching for so long, he thought that she would find something good, but in the end she found the cheapest, and also the weirdest, handkerchief.

"I can count a total of seven colors. They look like rainbows!" Duanmu Yan frowned, as if he had found a treasure.

Gong Shengrui quietly did not open his eyes. It was likely that Nanling Dynasty giving such a 'flowery' handkerchief was because he took a fancy to this little girl's personality.

"Choose something again. You can't take this handkerchief!" After pondering for a moment, Gong Shengrui asked.

Duanmu Yan was dumbfounded. "Why?"

"If you take this handkerchief, it will fall into the hands of the Nanling Dynasty!"

"…" Duanmu Yan asked suspiciously, indicating that she did not understand.

Gong Shengrui didn't care if she understood or not, and took out the handkerchief from her fingertip: "When the envoys arrive in the Southern Tomb, I will look for two mama to teach you the etiquette of eating!"

Duanmu Yan anxiously looked at the handkerchief in Gong Shengrui's hand, her cheeks puffing out, and pitifully accused: "You don't keep your promises.

"This handkerchief won't do!" Gong Shengrui said without a doubt.

"Why?"

"I has already explained the reasons!" Gong Shengrui said in an unrelenting manner: "If you really like this handkerchief, you can give it to the servant by your side, but you cannot keep it for yourself!"

"Why?" Duanmu Yan scratched her head. Why didn't she understand what he was saying?

Gong Shengrui took a deep breath, as he had the illusion that he was playing a lute to a cow.

"To put it simply, only the little girl would like these things, but don't forget, you are the king of a country, and you represent the face of everyone in New Moon Dynasty. If you admit in front of the people from both countries that you are only a little girl, then where is the face of our New Moon Dynasty to be?" In the end, Gong Shengrui still explained it to her, in case he made a joke during the banquet in the future.

Duanmu Yan never thought that such a small matter could actually escalate to something as important as a nation …
