Then, Liruo shook her head violently. He might as well leave this matter of finding a woman to someone else, or he could just marry someone else and help him out. If Xuanyuan Mo agreed, she wouldn't mind giving up …

The premise was, after she started her business. Otherwise, if she gave up now, she would drink from the northwest wind.

"Um, Xuanyuan Mo, we're here at the Imperial Palace!" Looking outside, Liruo struggled to free herself from Xuanyuan Mo's embrace. She couldn't hold back her tears and felt that her martial arts had already recovered by more than half, but why did it feel like Xuanyuan Mo was able to easily grab her with just a little effort? Was Xuanyuan Mo too powerful or was she too weak?

He could not help but frown. Since when had he become so childish, to think that he would actually bicker with a child who had not grown up yet, and as he watched Li Ruo leave as if she had already pulled back the curtain of the carriage, he could not help but be slightly dazed. He stretched out his slender hands, and felt as if the palm of his hand was still warm from Li Ruo's body.

"General, the princess has already entered. Why aren't you chasing her?" General Li tilted his head. He didn't hear much of the following words, and only thought that Xuanyuan Mojiao was angry.

"Chase?" Xuanyuan Mo frowned. Why was he chasing? He should be the one to be angry, right?

"That's right, if we don't give chase and the envoys from other countries see that our country's generals and madams are at odds, I'm afraid we'll have to make a big fuss at a banquet later on!" General Li's face was stern as he began to explain.

Currently, the relations between the various countries were already tense, so it would be better if there was less trouble. Also, even if he had left just now as if he had done wrong, as a man, he shouldn't be too fussy right now.

He jumped off the carriage and chased after Liru.

"Ha ha!" General Li leaned against the railing and flipped back and forth in laughter. Why didn't he realize that the general was so cute before? Did he not realize that he was slowly becoming more and more unlike himself?

The palace banquet would be held on time, and by that time, the representatives of the various countries would have arrived. There were emissaries, small country emperors, crown princes, and even the most important officials and relatives.

This was the first time that Liru had seen Qingyan in a formal robe, looking beautiful and charming, with a solemn air about her. Of course, this was when Qingyan was not laughing and had not spoken, when she and Xuanyuan Mo had been strolling over from the red carpet to receive the worship of the crowd, it was very solemn and solemn, but when she passed by Liru, she made a face to Liru, causing all the guests in the hall to laugh, Xuanyuan Yi supported his forehead, dragging Qingyan away with a helpless look, and Liru just wanted to laugh.

A cunning fox like Xuanyuan Yi was in stark contrast with the rough lines of Qingyan, but they complemented each other.

Hearing that they were childhood sweethearts, it would not be easy for them to successfully cultivate them.

Likely, that handsome man would also tolerate Qingyan every day. How much love did he have to be able to do such a thing?

As the emperor of a country, Xuanyuan Yi was able to ignore the resistance of the masses and not only did he give Qingyan 3000 noble favors, he even set up six palaces for her. From time to time, he would also have to endure his loss of face and ruin his reputation.

As she regained her senses, she discovered that she was staring at Xuanyuan Yi in a daze. As for Xuanyuan Mo, he had actually blocked her, and his face was filled with displeasure. She saw Qingyan secretly laughing at her while occasionally whispering in her ear to Xuanyuan Yi, and Xuanyuan Mo had also turned to look at her. She also saw that even Su Lin and Mo Shang were smiling.

Liruo's face turned red and she almost blushed. How could she be so careless? Even if she admired him, she couldn't look at him so blatantly in front of her husband and the many people present. Looking at the entire hall of guests, who wouldn't look at them with a curious expression? It was as if she had some kind of news report on her, and they were all confidential reporters.

Xuanyuan Yi gave a low laugh and exchanged a glance with Xuanyuan Mo. It was as if he was saying something else. Why were these two women so foolish? Xuanyuan Mo's taut expression finally eased a little.

Liruo was displeased. She had a high intelligence, but her EQ …

Thinking about it, she decided to stop thinking about it. She picked up the cup of wine on the table and took a big gulp. It tasted good, so she poured herself another cup.

She had to admit that her EQ had not been developed well. It was not even comparable to a child's.

Ye Ming and Yeye looked at each other and withdrew their gazes. Today, seeing that Li Ruo's dazed appearance was different from that of the other day, they found it extremely interesting. However, at this moment, she was by Xuanyuan Mo's side, so it was better for them not to be so brazen.

Liru was acutely aware of a cold stare coming from her direction. She jerked her head up and looked into the direction of the gaze. She saw a man in an ornate dark blue brocade robe. He had sharp eyebrows, eyes like stars, and a face like a peach. Behind him stood a man who looked like a follower. The man looked very gentle, and when Ruo Ruo saw his gaze, she smiled back. She wasn't afraid of his gaze at all.

"Who is that?" Li Ruo lowered her voice and slowly moved towards Xuanyuan Mo.

Xuanyuan Mo did not even raise his head, he already knew who she was referring to.

"He is Prince Long Yao, Long Yu!"

"He really is a cruel and merciless person!" The two chatted naturally. It was unknown if it was done intentionally, or if they had really forgotten about the ruckus they had made earlier.

"Oh? You can tell? " Xuanyuan Mo raised his eyebrows and clinked his cup with Li Ruo's. From the looks of it, they seemed like a perfect match.

"Although he's smiling, his smile is not as deep as his eyes. This kind of person must have a very deep heart, with eyes like peach blossoms, yet at the end of it, he looks very long. This kind of person must be cruel and merciless, good at planning, has a very strong personality, likes exciting things, likes power even more …"

"That's right, at such a young age, he was already appointed as the main candidate for the position of Crown Prince by Emperor Long Yao." That's right, at such a young age, he was already the main candidate for the position of Crown Prince.

"…" Hearing this, Li Ruo didn't know what to say. She had never thought that someone could actually kill her closest kin for her own benefit.

"However, he is also a very outstanding person. He has the ability to learn martial arts, know the geography of astronomy, can fight on the battlefield and kill enemies. He can also do his best in the imperial court. The people of his country call him the most perfect person. Moreover …" This was royal brother's favorite peach blossom wine. It tasted pure and thick, and its fragrance was unique. It was round and round in the mouth, and was indeed a superior wine.

"And what?" Li Jun had always been sensitive and had long treated this man as her enemy. She always liked to ask him about her enemies.

"Besides, even the explosives we saw a few days ago were personally made by him!"

"…" This was indeed a difficult thing to digest. The simplest type of explosive was not even considered explosives in modern times, but it was definitely not easy to create such a thing in this ancient era. This Long Yu was indeed not simple.

She raised her head and looked at Long Yu once more, and the man seemed to feel her gaze. He lifted the cup in front of his eyes and toasted her, smiling playfully, as if he was looking at a prey.

Liru was slightly startled. He wanted to return the favor, but the cup in his hand had already been dodged by Xuanyuan Mo. Lightly raising his hand, he drank it all in one gulp.

Long Yu slightly raised his brows, as if he didn't mind that it was Xuanyuan Mo who was toasting Li Ruo.

"Xuanyuan Mo?" Li Ruo came back to reality, so she didn't understand.

"You are a woman, how can you drink too much wine?" Xuanyuan Mo's reply was confident and confident, and Li Ruo couldn't find the words to refute it. However, if she was an ordinary woman, what could she do about this kind of drink that was like fruit wine?

Had Xuanyuan Mo forgotten about the previous drinking duel between the two of them?

However, what Li Ruo didn't know was that this peach blossom wine smelled like fruit wine, but in reality, the aftereffects were extremely strong. It wasn't something that an ordinary wine could compare to.

Xuanyuan Mo only shot a glare at Li Ruo, not intending to bother with her.

Liru pursed her lips and felt bored. Was she being looked down upon by this brat?

Compared to Li Ruo who was heartless, Xuanyuan Mo was not as calm. Although he was very nervous, his face did not change at all.

He stretched out his hand and seemingly inadvertently touched his thin lips, his other hand tightly holding onto the exquisite glass.

Seeing that the surrounding men were all staring at Liruo, he was momentarily annoyed, so he snatched away the cup in Liruo's hands. In other words, the wine that he had just drunk was from the cup that Liruo drank a few mouthfuls from. It had already been used by Liru. There was her smell on it.

His heart could not help but beat faster, and the color of his face began to slowly change to a faint pink. Li Jun thought that Xuanyuan Mo had drank too much, so she too took back her cup. Her tone was somewhat mocking.

"Xuanyuan Mo, isn't your capacity for alcohol very good? What, it's only a few cups, why do you seem like you're going to be drunk?" She didn't know that Xuanyuan Mo had intentionally let her off earlier, but she had seen Xuanyuan Mo's tolerance for alcohol. Now that he had said such words, it was just a rebuttal to what Xuanyuan Mo had just said.

"…" At the moment, Xuanyuan Mo's emotions were in a great mess. He only cast a bland glance at Liru but remained silent.

Looking at the cup that Liru had taken back, Xuanyuan Mo felt even more confused than before. Just what was going on with him? He was so agitated that he immediately threw away the cup and started drinking from the jug. He drank very hurriedly, as if he wanted to use the wine to dispel his worries, but also as if he wanted to conceal something.
