When they arrived at the palace banquet, Lu Jinniang was led to his own seat by the palace maids. The court officials had already left for the morning assembly, and they all took their seats.

Lu Mo Ting sat beside Lu Jinjian. However, Lu Jinjian only called out "Father" before sitting down. He had a trademark smile on his face as he frowned slightly.

She had long since put down the mysterious entrustment of Xiao Rangxi, and was instead considering the possibilities of her country's princesses and their marriage.

She had a bad feeling, but there were too few clues.

Chu Yundi left, Chu Yundi's son went to Xudan Academy to study, Lu Qingwan and Lu Qingyao had Lady Shen to take care of them, but Lu Jinsheng didn't have a single thing to show for it.

She sized up her daughter who grew up alone and lacked love. Her skin was as white as snow, her makeup was slightly applied, and her hair was simply tied up. The rest of her hair was draped over her shoulders, but there wasn't even a bit of jewelry.

Her cherry lips contained a smile, but her brows were knitted together. A faint feeling of worry lingered on her face … Was it because he had entered the palace for the first time that he felt uneasy? Lu Mo Ting felt guilty.

However, General Lu was simply overthinking it. The subordinates who were familiar with Lu Jinniang, for example, were warm and cold. Seeing Lu Jinniang's appearance, they knew that she was only scheming and thinking about what to do next.

General Lu, who wasn't aware of the situation, softened his tone and patted his daughter gently. Then, he pushed a plate of pastries in front of Lu Jinsheng, "Jin`er, there's still a long time until the palace banquet begins. Why don't you eat some snacks first? Don't be hungry."

However, when he saw his father being so cautious, he couldn't help but find it funny. He didn't touch Lu Mo Ting's good intentions, and instead picked up a piece of meat to eat. He tilted his head to look at him and said, "Delicious."

A beauty's face was revealed. Regardless of whether this beauty was carrying the name of a haystack or not, she still appeared to be pleasing to the eyes.

Lu Jinjian quickly attracted the attention of many people present. As Lu Mo Ting was immersed in the happy mood of finally having a good talk with his daughter, he discovered that many people … The main reason was that many of the young masters looked in their direction and glared at them unhappily.

The young masters who were being glared at by the great general turned their eyes away, covering their hearts as they cursed. The great general's aura was indeed not for show, but just for a glance at his daughter, he had to protect her too well.

Next to Ji Shaohua, Song An silently poked his arm, whispering in his ear, "Brother Shaohua, I think it will be a little difficult for you to become the son in law of the Great General."

Ji Shaohua was also shocked by Lu Mo Ting's glare, but he did not understand Song An's words, "Why?"

Look, although the reputation that Eldest Miss Lu has shouldered these past few years is not very well, being both ugly and sloppy, but looking at it now, it seems that you don't know if she is a sloppy person or not, but she is definitely a beauty. In the future, there will definitely be a lot of rival lovers.

Ji Shaohua pondered for a moment, "You are right, but I will work hard. As long as I am outstanding enough and can get rid of everyone else, I will definitely be acknowledged by the general!"

Song An was just about to say, "Where on earth are you going to find grass when it's on the edge of the horizon", when he saw the hot-blooded youth who seemed to have ignited a nameless fighting spirit in front of him, and he didn't have the heart to offend him for the sake of taking care of his brother's emotions.

"Then you can do it." With that, she ignored him.

Not long after that, the Emperor, Xiao Wen Feng and Queen Yi Qi Yan led the emissaries of the nation of Rui Xi and the Huns to their seats.

Everyone stood up and saluted. Only after Xiao Wen Feng shouted "Stand up" did the previous atmosphere return. However, it was obvious that he was a lot more reserved.

Many people were sizing up the emissaries of the Rui Xi country and the Huns. The Rui Xi country consisted of Murong Qi and Murong Tan, and the Huns consisted of the Huns' Prince, Anubis, and the Huns' Princess, Anubis. They were all a man and a woman, a prince and a princess.

Murong Qi was arrogant, Anubis was proud, Murong Tan's Immersion Flower Palace clothing was magnificent, and Anubis was dressed in red. Both sides appeared in magnificent attire, and everyone could see how they competed.

The corner of Xiao Wen Feng's mouth lifted slightly as he looked at this scene. However, the Queen Yi Qi Yan who had been with him for over ten years could tell that his smile was not on his face. She wasn't happy at all.

Thinking about that, Yi Qi Yan sighed. Her movements were small and no one noticed. When she came back to her senses, she was smiling at them reverently.

"For this palace banquet, first, we have to celebrate with the monarchs, and second, we have to welcome the emissaries of Rui Xi and the Huns. Everyone is free to go."

Everyone thanked him in unison, but no one dared to be so casual.

"Ji is here to represent the Hun Khai Khan and to offer his most sincere friendship to the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom."

Xiao Wen Feng smiled as he raised his glass and drank with her.

After the wine had been drunk, Anubis continued, "Our Huns are very rich in resources, and we are willing to leave Princess Anubis in your country to consolidate our friendship and expand our business paths. Do you have the same sincerity?"

Everyone stopped talking and looked at Anubis.

The meaning of this Prince of Huns' words was very clear. They, the Huns, wanted to keep the princess as their betrothed, in order to further expand the communication between the two countries' commercial markets. However, in contrast, they also wanted the Ming Xuan Country to send the princess as their betrothed, as if exchanging hostages.

Four years ago, in the last battle with the Huns, the Huns were defeated, yet they still dared to be so arrogant!

Seeing the changes in everyone's mood, Anubis smiled. They did not agree, they were not convinced, but what could they do about it? The Huns had not attacked the Ming Xuan Empire in the past few years.

It was not that they couldn't attack, the people on horseback had never lost much in battles with the Ming Xuan Country. The tragic scene four years ago was just an accident, that person who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere … Humph.

He stared straight at Xiao Wen Feng with an aggressive gaze.

Anubis' eyelids drooped down. She knew what her purpose was, and even if she was unwilling, she still had to fulfill Khan's orders. Gritting her teeth, she stood up abruptly and said to Xiao Wen Feng.

"Life on the prairie is simple and unrestrained, but your daughter's family always wants to seek wealth and peace, and I long for the lives of the noble ladies in Liang Jing City. I wish to stay in Ming Xuan Country and ask Your Majesty to grant me your wish."

Everyone's emotions were churning. It seemed that the princess of the Huns must stay. Since the Huns must stay, then their princess …

At this moment, in the quiet atmosphere, a string of laughter suddenly reached everyone's ears.

Everyone looked at the person who laughed, and Xiao Wen Feng was no exception. He simply ignored the two Huns and said to her, "I remember that you are the eldest daughter of General Lu, why are you laughing?"

Lu JinNian calmly stood up and bowed with his hands cupped in front of his chest towards Xiao Wen Feng, as everyone was looking at him, "Your Majesty, please forgive this humble servant for being impolite. This humble servant has a few questions to ask the Huns, please grant me your grace, Your Majesty."
