"Your Majesty, Princess!" Realizing this, the general immediately led his family and bowed respectfully to Jun Qing and the princess.
The general's mother waited until Jun Qing, Ye Shaohua, and Qin Xuanyun went in.
Then she asked her daughter in a low voice, "Didn't you say yesterday that the princess's family …"
"It's complicated." The general shook his head and motioned his mother not to worry about it.
As Jun Qing walked, he looked at his daughter.
According to Qin Xuanyun's current identity, there was no need to bow to him.
And Qin Xuanyun's eyes …
Jun Qing was thoughtful.
Outside the door, Ye Mingxin watched Qin Xuanyun leave with the Empress. Her eyes were fixed on Ye Shaohua. She had a feeling of being betrayed.
She even wanted to question Qin Xuanyun for a second.
Qin Youming comforted her in a low voice.
Ye Mingxin took a deep breath. She didn't go forward for the sake of the overall situation. She just didn't believe that Qin Xuanyun really had feelings for Ye Shaohua. How could she not feel Qin Xuanyun's restrained and passionate love for her before?
The other party had even vaguely written some poems and sent them to him on a slip of paper.
What's more, she didn't believe that Qin Xuanyun would be so blind to like Ye Shaohua.
Ye Mingxin didn't intend to let go of either Qin Xuanyun or Wen Jin.
Thinking of this, she gradually calmed down and followed Qin Youming inside.
This feeling of grievance wouldn't last long. The policy she gave to the minister and the prime minister should be effective …
Ye Mingxin and Qin Youming only sat in the middle after entering because she and Qin Youming weren't favored on the surface.
They could only sit in an inconspicuous place.
The prime minister was second only to Qin Xuanyun in the court. He and Qin Xuanyun sat next to the Empress.
And Ye Shaohua sat alone in front of Qin Xuanyun. It could be seen how much the Empress doted on Ye Shaohua.
This had caused dissatisfaction in the eyes of the ministers.
But in fact, the Empress didn't favor the two at all. She used Jun Qing as a shield and flattered Ye Shaohua, making her look like a piece of trash.
But Jun Qing and the Jun Family, who focused on fighting and killing, didn't study these things at all.
They didn't understand what flattery meant.
What's more, he didn't know that the Empress had the purpose of destroying Ye Shaohua and Jun Qing from the very beginning.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuanyun lowered his eyes slightly.
This time, he had subdued the people of the Nanman Kingdom.
It was also an island nation that came here by boat. Qin Xuanyun was well-versed in governing a country, so he did not kill them. Instead, he chose to make them submit to the dynasty and offer tributes every year.
Today was the day the people of the Nanman Kingdom came to Dynasty to show their loyalty and pay tribute.
"Ye Er." When the Queen summoned people, Qin Xuanyun said two words while pouring wine for Ye Shaohua.
Ye Er.
Second Miss Ye.
"What a coincidence, State Preceptor, you're here too." Ye Shaohua replied.
Qin Xuanyun's furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.
His uneasy heart finally calmed down. "Yes."
"How long are you going to stay in the capital this time?" Ye Shaohua asked him.
"Nine months."
Ye Shaohua was surprised, "so long?"
"Not long. I planned to stay here for a year." Qin Xuanyun's expression did not change.
"Pfft …" The general sitting behind Qin Xuanyun spat out a mouthful of wine before he could swallow it.
His mother frowned, "This is the main hall. How can you be so rude?"
General: "…"
General Qin! When he returned to the capital, he said that the territory was still lacking people to intimidate, so he would not stay in the capital for more than a month?!
While the group of people were talking, the tribute from the Nanman Kingdom had arrived.
A beautiful and quiet sound rang out. It was not an instrument like the zither or flute of the Nanman Kingdom, but an instrument that the people of the Nanman Kingdom had never seen before.
The one playing the instrument was a man in a white robe. His face was like a peach blossom, and his expression was cold with a sense of arrogance. His manners were polite.
He was not as tall as the men of the Nanman Kingdom, but he was very delicate.
Plus, there was a mysterious instrument.
Many women in the main hall stared at this foreign prince.
Only Ye Shaohua did not stare at him. She just casually played with the wine glass, looking like a very rogue playboy.
Qin Xuanyun had never seen Ye Shaohua like this. In the previous life, she was always cold and restrained, as if nothing could enter her eyes. Even if she was full of talent, she would not show off outside like Ye Zhaoyun.
At this time, such a playboy arrogant look, unparalleled beauty.
After the Nanman Kingdom presented all the treasures, the prince looked around the entire palace banquet, and then bowed slightly, "I have long heard that your dynasty is full of talents, and even someone has broken the deadlock. Today, I would like to learn from you."
Between countries, there was naturally a desire to compare and compete.
Even if the Nanman Kingdom lost in strength and military, they did not have the intention to surrender.
The Empress naturally knew this. This kind of competition between countries had always happened.
"In that case, I will point to someone at random," the Empress smiled and pointed directly at the second princess, "This is the second princess of this dynasty. She is very mediocre in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."
The prince and others saw the position of the second princess and knew that she was not favored.
Therefore, there was no doubt that the "music, chess, calligraphy, and painting" that the Empress mentioned were very mediocre.
But the Nanman Kingdom prince and others were very angry. This Empress clearly looked down on the people of their country!
The second princess looked at the foreign prince and was a little stunned. She didn't expect that he would compete with her, especially when she saw that the prince didn't care about her, just like those people in the palace who saw the difference between her and Ye Shaohua. She immediately sneered.
"Mother, I will go down to prepare." The second princess cupped her hands.
The Empress nodded.
Then she gave Ni Lan a look.
Ni Lan immediately avoided the crowd and went out, and then found the second princess who was changing clothes.
"Second princess, the Empress said that you don't have to be merciful and teach these Nanman Kingdom people who have always looked down on our dynasty's culture." Ni Lan's attitude towards the second princess was very respectful.
The teenager who came out with the second princess opened his eyes wide. He did not expect that the most popular person around the Empress was ordinary to the eldest princess, but so respectful to the second princess?
No wonder … no wonder he had always felt strange. Why was the eldest princess so favored?
And the very smart second princess was unknown.
It turned out to be like this!
Ni Lan was so respectful to the second princess, it must be because of the Empress's influence, which meant … the second princess and Qin Fei were the Empress's favorites.
The teenager heard Ye Shaohua say to Jun Yiling "Don't dirty your whip" outside the door and felt very humiliated.
Now he accidentally discovered this kind of thing.
Suddenly his heart beat like thunder. If the second princess made a name for herself in this competition, plus the impression left by the prime minister before, what would the eldest princess have to do?
