She smiled. "Although this yellow flower has no color, it has already received its fruit. My crown prince will eventually ascend to the throne." Every fruit had a time when they blossomed with brilliance, but not every flower could bear the fruits. Look at that imperial garden, there are so many soft, beautiful, and beautiful flowers.

What the empress said was the truth. Although Zheng Ziyi was favored by the emperor, once her face grew old, there was nothing left for the princess to rely on after her marriage.

However, Zheng Ziyi still had some bargaining chips. She had the Third Prince to cling onto and her own home country. If Xi Liang lost, she would be a meritorious general of the Comfort Barrier. Therefore, Zheng Ziyi's face did not reveal any hint of sadness. When the empress saw this, she didn't know who was backing her and only thought that she was holding on.

Fire and water couldn't tolerate each other in this Hall of Phoenix, and the words spoken by the court were also quite fierce. As an emissary, other than requesting a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry from Xi Liang, the Min Han Changyang also wanted to pretend that the two countries were on good terms and insisted that Xi Liang be on good terms with their relationship.

Mu Zheng already had a plan regarding the marriage alliance. How many princesses were there that were unmarried in this harem? As long as they were willing, they could choose any few princesses. This West Cold was enough to give way.

However, they had originally wanted to start a war, and they were afraid that their teacher would be unknown. This time they were here to cause trouble, so how could they so easily dismiss him?

"As the representative of the comfort zone, this official has the heavy responsibility of choosing concubines for our Emperor, I do not dare to slack off, so it would be better if all the princesses come out to meet with me. If there is nothing among the princesses that you like, then I shall make another plan. " Minhan and Changyang looked polite, but their words were filled with offense.

"How dare you! My princess is a noble lady with golden branches and jade leaves, she is not a marketplace for buying vegetables. How can you pick and pick from her?" Hearing Min Han Changyang's rudeness, Mu Zhuo could not help but berate him angrily.

"That's right, this is too much..." Many ministers around him also joined in the condemnation of Minhan Changyang.

Min Han Changyang looked indifferent as he stood up, "I console a great country. Since we want to be on friendly terms, we must pick the best ones." Besides, my monarch has a high status. Being willing to lower himself to your marriage is already giving face and respect to you. How can I let you, Xi Liang, simply assign a random person? Wouldn't other nations laugh at him? "

After saying that, Min Han, Changyang Changyang, sat down and raised his cup to drink, without a single word of discussion on his face.

Seeing that Minhan and Changyang had remained silent, everyone looked at Mu Zheng.

"I've come sincerely to console you all. If the Emperor is unwilling to be humiliated like this, then we'll take our leave now." When the envoy of the Min Han Changyang came and saw that Mu Zheng did not say anything, he stood up and spoke forcefully.

When Mu Zheng saw how rude they were, he immediately wanted to kill them on the spot. At this moment, his face was ashen, and he began to emit a murderous aura.

Mu Yong glanced at Mu Zheng. He knew that Mu Zheng was here to cause trouble and not to be fooled by them. He stood up.

"Since the envoy came here sincerely to propose marriage, how could he return empty-handed after a long journey? Since our two countries want to live in peace, why should we care about these small details? My princess is beautiful in appearance, and her beauty is extraordinary. For the banquet later on, the princess will be out to receive the distinguished guests, so the envoys will naturally be able to see her. "

Mu Ying's few words, neither humble nor arrogant, not only prevented the princess from being selected like goods, but also solved the emissaries' demands. When Homeward Bound heard this, he glanced at Mu Ying before looking at Min Han Changyang, seeking his opinion.

The Min Han Chang Yang continued to smile, but not a smile could be seen on his face. He quietly took a sip of his wine and stroked his hair before saying, "Since the conscription has already been issued, how could we not give you face?"

Hearing the words of the Min Han Changyang, the other ministers came to resolve the awkward situation, "Since that's the case, envoys, come all the way here. We've already set up a banquet and are waiting to entertain you."

"Then I'll accept it." Minhan stood up and cupped his hands.

The Chief Eunuch hurriedly called for his subordinates to pass the message and begin the banquet.

The empress and the others were busy bickering with each other over the phone. Xue Ruoyun and Yuchi Min were extremely annoyed. They felt like sitting on pins and needles and couldn't wait to leave as soon as possible. At this moment, news came that the banquet had begun. The two of them seemed to have been liberated and quickly stood up, feeling overjoyed.

"Since the banquet is about to begin, Empress, Imperial Consort, let's go earlier. Otherwise, it might be a bit late." Facing the two people who were still at loggerheads, Xue Ruoyun quickly consoled them.

Hearing her words, it was true that they had missed the banquet. If the Emperor were to lose face, then he would definitely be punished. The two of them could only stop their argument. Lowering their heads, they tidied up their clothes and walked towards the banquet hall one after the other.

Xue Ruyun and the others hurriedly followed behind him. From a distance, they saw Mu Ying looking in their direction. They knew that Xue Ruoyun had gone out to relax, and after dispersing, they couldn't find him, so they could only be anxious.

He was well aware that Xue Luoyun was a person who knew her limits. He predicted that she would definitely not miss the banquet, so he waited here.

"You go in first, I want to speak with the prince." Xue Ruoyun said to Yuchi Min.

"Alright." Yuchi Min agreed and hurried to follow the empress and the others inside.

"Where did you go to make it easier for me to find you?" Mu Ying asked worriedly.

"Just now when I was taking a walk, I met Sister Yuchi. I went with her to the empress's place to watch a war of words." Xue Luoyun said.

"Alright, it's good that you're fine. I was even worried that something might have happened to you. The emissaries were not good people. Especially that Min Han Changyang, who seems to be hiding something, pay attention to later … " Mu Sheng said as he walked inside.

Everyone was taking a short break, waiting for the banquet to begin.

Changyang Min Han sat by himself by the stone table in the garden as he drank his wine. His eyes, however, were secretly observing his surroundings. From far away, he saw, with a glance, the leisurely approaching Xue Luoyun from the crowd.

Today, Xue Ruyun was wearing an azure-green cotton dress, which was lined with a white muslin. Her entire person was elegant and refined, agile and natural. From the day onwards, her eyes and teeth looked even more bright and clear, as if she were a celestial being.

When he saw Xue Ruyun walk in, Min Han, Chang Yang, stood up and looked in the direction of Xue Ruyun. She smiled to the side, a smile so beautiful it could topple nations.

Who could bear her beautiful smile? Min Han followed her gaze and only then did she discover that there was a man beside Xue Ruyun. This man was none other than Mu Sheng. He had a serious expression on his face, and the two of them seemed to be discussing something.

Mu Sheng's demeanor was imposing, gentle as jade, and his eyes were filled with love as he looked at Xue Ruyun.

"This is a match made in heaven." Min Han thought to himself.

At this moment, the eunuch began to announce, "The banquet begins. Everyone, please take a seat."

Everyone hurried to their seats and sat down. Even Min Han Changyang stood up unhurriedly and began to walk towards his own seat.

Once everyone was seated, the emperor and empress slowly came out to announce the start of the banquet.

As a woman, Xue Ruyun sat behind Zheng Ziyi and the others, secretly observing Changyang's words and movements. He wanted to find out if he was the same person from that day. While Min Han sat across from him, his eyes kept darting to Xue Ruyun even though he knew he had important business to attend to.

Zheng Ziyi didn't understand the reason, thinking that the Min Han Changyang was hinting at what she was doing, causing her to constantly ponder over the matter. However, she was still unable to comprehend the meaning behind the Min Han Changyang's words.

After three rounds of drinking, the Emperor ordered people to sing and dance. The princesses also came out to show everyone their talents.

Mu Zheng had always been a talented person, and the beauties in the harem were one of a kind. Naturally, the princesses he gave birth to were not bad. All of them appeared to be extremely gracious and well-mannered, with each of them appearing to be in a tough situation. All the officials were full of praise when they saw this. Only Min Han Changyang remained unmoved. He just lowered his head to drink.

Xue Ruyun had been staring at this Minghan Changyang the entire time. Although the two of them had not fought before, his eyes were very similar to the assassin's eyes from that day. How to be sure he wasn't. Xue Luoyun was in no mood to dance, and had been deep in thought the entire time.

Just like that, she stared at Minhan Changyang and suddenly realized that although his right hand was holding a wine glass, his left hand had suddenly married a jujube on the table and was shooting it towards the dancing princess.

Xue Ruyun sat across from him, blocked by Zheng Ziyi, so he couldn't immediately stop him. After seeing the spinning princess' knee being hit by the jujube core, the delicate and expensive Princess immediately dodged. Her body became unsteady, and dizzily spun as she charged towards Zheng Ziyi and the others.

Sensing the danger, the concubines screamed and hurriedly ran to the side. Zheng Ziyi was a noble and wore luxurious clothing, now these burdens were pressing down on her, her body was inconvenient and she couldn't move at all. He could only watch helplessly as the princess charged towards him.

In this crucial moment of peril, both of Xue Ruyun's legs exerted force. He leapt up, stepped on the table, and leapt in front of Zheng Ziyi. He embraced the dizzy princess, held her arm, and slowly spun it around, returning to the group of dancers.

After all, she was still young, so the princess was in a bit of a panic and couldn't continue dancing. She tightly held onto Xue Ruoyun, and her eyes begged him not to go down.

Seeing the Princess's cowardice, Xue Luoyun secretly tightened her grip on her hand. She consoled her in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'll accompany you. We'll finish this dance together." After which, she coordinated with the princess and started dancing once more.

Xue Ruyun was originally a bodyguard, so she was not good at dancing. In order to cooperate with the princess, she had no choice but to pull out her sword and begin dancing.

The musicians at the side saw the change and hurriedly adjusted the music, turning the beautiful dance into a vigorous dance music. "Phew …" "hehehe … hehehehehe … heheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh … hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe." Clever enough to mask this emergency as part of the dance.

After the dance ended, Xue Ruoyun and the princess held hands, bowed to everyone, and left.

"Alright." The whole time, Min Han Changyang had been staring at Xue Ruyun. Upon seeing her brilliant performance, she couldn't help but clap her hands in admiration at her nimble reaction and vigorous movements.

Hearing his praises, everyone came to their senses as they heard the wonderful dance music. Only then did they let out a clucking sound of praise.

The Emperor, Mu Ying, and the others all broke out in a cold sweat because of Xue Muyun.
