The female cannon fodder in the book, the villain instantly turned into a pitiful and coquettish gir

The main hall of the imperial palace is magnificent, solemn and dignified.

The envoys from the Yun Kingdom had been waiting for a long time. They had just the right smile on their faces, but their eyes were shining with an elusive light.

Gan Chenggong, as the chief of the Yun Kingdom's envoys, dressed in a gorgeous official robe, led Liu Yaoyao and others into the room.

Liu Yaoyao was wearing an elegant dress. Although she was not as lavishly adorned with jewels as those noble ladies, her temperament was unique and fresh.

Just a veil covering her face.

Everyone walked into the hall. Gan Chenggong saluted the old emperor first, and then introduced Liu Yaoyao and others.

The old emperor's eyes flashed with surprise, and regardless of his status, he joked: "Lord Gan, you are so lucky to have such a beautiful woman by your side. It's really the envy of others!"

Gan Chenggong laughed and immediately regained his seriousness: "Yun Ji is a national treasure. I am just lucky enough to work with her."

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, the Yun Kingdom envoy suddenly changed the subject and said, "Emperor Ling, we came here this time not only to express our friendship to your country, but also to discuss an important matter."

The old emperor was moved when he saw the veiled woman, but he remained calm and asked, "Oh? I wonder what the envoy is here for?"

The envoy smiled slightly, with the corners of his mouth raised like the cunning of a fox before hunting.

He said slowly: "In recent years, our Yun country has become increasingly powerful, and trade with neighboring countries has become more frequent."

"It is just as the old saying goes, 'Heroes are made by the times.' We hope to strengthen cooperation with your country and jointly create a new era of prosperity and strength."

The old emperor pondered secretly in his mind, but his face remained expressionless.

He was well aware that Yun State had been developing rapidly in recent years, but cooperation involved many conflicting interests and could not be decided lightly.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Recently, my son who was traveling abroad returned to the court and said he had met a fairy. The fairy water he brought back was even more amazing. Let's see if I have become much younger."

Everyone knew that the old emperor's answer was irrelevant, and he was expressing his rejection of Yun Kingdom's proposal in another way.

Upon seeing this, the ministers of Ling State nodded in agreement, and for a moment the atmosphere in the hall became subtle.

The envoys from the Yun Kingdom were so angry that their hair stood on end, but they could do nothing about it.

They were well aware of the old emperor's stubbornness and cunningness, so it seemed that this cooperation had to be abandoned.

Gan Chenggong took a step forward. He was full of momentum and his eagle eyes were as sharp as a knife, which made the old emperor, who had always been in a high position, tremble.

Gan Chenggong said in a loud voice: "In that case, we congratulate your majesty on obtaining the magic water. After our Yun Kingdom delegation attends your majesty's holy festival celebration, we will set off to return to Yun Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, the old emperor responded with a cheerful look on his face, but he was secretly delighted in his heart.

He had long wanted to make things difficult for the Yun Kingdom's foreign king, and this was a good opportunity to dampen their arrogance.

"Come to think of it, you two are acquaintances. I will summon him to the palace to receive the envoy."

Soon, Ling Chenyu, the man who once defeated the undefeated legend of Yun Kingdom - Gan Chenggong, was summoned into the palace.

Liu Yaoyao looked at his haggard appearance, her heart ached as if stabbed by needles and her eyes were red, but when she thought that he was about to marry someone else, she could only suppress the grief in her heart and lowered her head.

Ling Chenyu walked into the hall and swept his eyes among the crowd, but did not stay on Liu Yaoyao for too long.

He was thinking about other things and didn't pay much attention to Liu Yaoyao's existence.

The old emperor looked at Ling Chenyu, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He thought to himself, "This kid is getting more and more outrageous. However, I can use him this time to teach him a lesson and make him behave himself."

The old emperor raised a sly smile, as if he had seen Ling Chenyu being humiliated.

The old emperor smiled and said to Ling Chenyu: "My son, do you know that the envoys from Yun Kingdom came to visit today to discuss cooperation between the two countries? Unfortunately..."

"Beside the King of Zhennan in Yun Country, there is their precious girl, Yun Ji, who is truly as beautiful as a fairy. You and my son are a perfect match, made in heaven."

Ling Chenyu frowned slightly when he heard this.

He was not interested in Yun Ji, but the old emperor's words made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He turned to look at Liu Yaoyao, but found that she was lowering her head and did not dare to look him in the eye.

A trace of doubt flashed through his mind, but he didn't think much about it.

The old emperor looked at Ling Chenyu's reaction and felt secretly proud.

He continued to exaggerate and said, "My son, if you like, I will arrange for you to let Yun Ji become your concubine, how about it?"

The old emperor didn't really want to match them up, nor would he find such a good backer for his son.

He knew that the prince was born with a rebellious nature and that his heart was completely devoted to that peasant girl, and he wanted to make trouble for her.

Besides, seeing that the Prince of Zhennan doted on this woman very much, he wanted to make trouble for him.

Using a woman is like killing two birds with one stone. It's a great deal.

Ling Chenyu took a deep breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said to the old emperor: "Father, I already have a favorite woman, there is no need to arrange other women for me."

The old emperor frowned and was about to lose his temper, but suddenly remembered his purpose and smiled again.

"Prince Zhennan, you see, I had hoped that I would live in harmony with the Yun Kingdom forever, but I didn't expect it to be like this, you see..."

"The Emperor of Ling is joking. Yun Ji is still young and is just following here to gain more experience."

"Ah, that's such a pity." The old emperor sighed, and after instructing Ling Chenyu to greet the envoys, he left in a dignified manner.

Along the way, Ling Chenyu looked at Yun Ji several times and always felt that this person was familiar, but he couldn't recognize who she was.
