Emperor Hui came in, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, holding the hand of a eunuch.

"Greetings to our Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

"No need to be polite! Today is a family dinner, so you don't have to be so polite.

The Ninth Prince of Qi and Princess Chu Yun have come from afar, and today is also their welcoming banquet."

Zhao Huayin stood up with everyone else, only to find that Emperor Hui had lost so much weight since the last time he saw him.

He did not look very well, and was not as energetic as before. The noble Concubine Gao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and more beautiful than flowers, stood beside him, making Emperor Hui look even more haggard.

Although he was stabbed with a sword that day, it was only an external injury and should not be so serious.

Zhao Huayin suppressed her doubts and saw the Ninth Prince of Qi and Princess Chu Yun standing behind Emperor Hui.

The Ninth Prince looked very young, about twenty years old, with a handsome appearance.

Princess Chu Yun should have just reached the age of 15. She was standing next to the Ninth Prince, her big eyes twinkling, lively and cute.

"Chu Heng and his younger sister Chu Yun come to see His Majesty the Emperor of Wei!"

The Ninth Prince stepped forward and saluted Emperor Hui.

Emperor Hui waved his hand.

"No need to be so polite, Ninth Prince. Just take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Ninth Prince and Princess Chu Yun sat down at the front on the left, and everyone else took their seats this time.

King Jin sat at the table next to Yan Qi and Zhao Huayin, winked at Yan Qi, and whispered,

"Fourth brother, you have to cheer up today."

Zhao Huayin was confused and didn't know what the King of Jin was trying to say.

Yan Qi gave him a reassuring smile and said softly, "He has never behaved properly. Don't pay any attention to him."

The palace servants came in in an orderly manner and served wine and food.

Emperor Hui raised his cup and said: "This first cup of wine is to welcome our guests who have come from afar!"

Everyone raised their glasses to toast, and Chu Heng stood up to return the greeting, behaving in a proper manner.

Zhao Huayin also sat down with everyone else after toasting. Yan Qi even put some food into Zhao Huayin's bowl.

The two have not yet married, but Yan Qi is so considerate to Zhao Huayin. Concubine Gao is very pleased and nods to Zhao Huayin.

"The Ninth Prince and the Princess are honored guests. Mu'er, you must entertain them well and let them see more of our Great Wei. Don't be negligent!"

Emperor Hui gave instructions, and the King of Jin quickly stood up and answered,

"Your son will obey your order and will do his best to welcome the Ninth Prince and the Princess."

Emperor Hui nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, I want him to accompany me!"

Princess Chu Yun, who was wearing a goose yellow palace dress, stood up and pointed her finger at Yan Qi.

Seeing that Chu Yun said something out of line, Chu Heng pulled him to sit down.

"Yun'er, sit down!"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I was reckless. Please forgive me!"

Everyone present was surprised as they did not expect Princess Chu Yun to be so straightforward.

After being surprised, everyone was ready to watch the fun. After all, Yan Qi had long been known as a cold-faced evil spirit, and everyone wanted to know how he would treat Princess Chu Yun.

Especially those who usually dislike Yan Qi's style of doing things, are now gloating and waiting for Yan Qi to suffer a loss.

Moreover, seeing how considerate Yan Qi was to Zhao Huayin, she was originally a little jealous, but now she is not jealous anymore and just wants to see how Zhao Huayin ends up.

Prince Jin put his fist to his lips and tried hard to stifle his laughter.

After being glared at by Yan Qi, he coughed lightly and sat up straight.

"Princess, I am already engaged. Although the future princess is generous, I do not want to upset her. I am afraid it is not appropriate to take the princess out for a trip."

Yan Qi's expression remained unchanged and he spoke slowly.

"Since the princess wants you to accompany her, then you should accompany her. Minister Zhao's daughter is well-educated and well-mannered, why would she care about such a trivial matter?"

When Emperor Hui heard Yan Qi reject Princess Chu Yun, he immediately became displeased. While speaking, he looked at Zhao Huayin.

"Your Majesty is right. I have no objection."

Emperor Hui's expression then eased a little, and he wanted to say something, but Prince Jin beat him to it.

"Father, when it comes to fun places in the capital, how can Fourth Brother know as well as I do? If you arrange for Fourth Brother to entertain the guests, I'm afraid you will neglect the guests.

Why not leave it to me? I will definitely take good care of the Ninth Prince and the Princess."

Without waiting for Emperor Hui's reply, he smiled and said to Princess Chu Yun,

"Little princess, tell me what you like. I'll let you play whatever you want. Everyone knows that my fourth brother is the most impatient. If you follow him, he will definitely not let you play anything."

"I don't want anything else, I just want his horse."

Princess Chu Yun said to King Jin despite Chu Heng's obstruction.

"Yun'er! Don't be rude. His Majesty the King of Qin's beloved horse is not a plaything!"

"Your Highness Prince Qin, my little sister has really been spoiled. You don't have to pay attention to her."

"That's fine. If the princess likes my Zhufeng, then let the Prince of Jin go to the Prince of Qin's mansion every day to hold his hand."

King Jin knew that Yan Qi was annoyed because he had not spoken yet, so he deliberately asked him to lead the horse.

However, King Jin never dared to refute what Yan Qi said and could only touch his nose embarrassedly.

"Yes, the little princess likes to chase the wind. Let's go to the horse farm in the suburbs to ride horses."

"Really? Do you mean what you say?"

Princess Chu Yun was very happy. It was obvious that Yan Qi's horse was no ordinary one. It was better than the one given to her by her father.

"Of course it counts. The little princess can go wherever she wants and do whatever she wants. As long as I am accompanying her, I will definitely make her feel comfortable."

"Well, then, I'll let you accompany this princess."

Princess Chu Yun raised her eyebrows, feeling very proud.

Prince Jin also laughed. This little princess is quite easy to coax.

Prince Jin thought that if he could deal with the little princess himself and stop her from harassing his fourth brother, his fourth brother would definitely not give him the cold shoulder again.

The King of Jin wanted to see if Yan Qi was satisfied, but Yan Qi didn't even glance at him.

Emperor Hui was somewhat unhappy that Princess Chu Yun was so willful and picky about the prince's company. However, Prince Jin was still so submissive and accommodating, which made Emperor Hui look unhappy.

Just as he was about to explode, he saw Chu Heng stand up and salute.

"Your Majesty, I, your brother and I, are deeply grateful for the great Wei's hospitality!

To express my respect to Your Majesty, I have prepared a dance for Your Majesty. Why don't we let them perform now?"

When he heard that there were dancers, Emperor Hui immediately perked up and straightened his back a little.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huayin looked at Concubine Gao beside Emperor Hui, but saw that Concubine Gao's face was calm and she even smiled back at Zhao Huayin.

"Okay, if that's the case, there's no harm in taking a look. In the next few days, King Xuan should entertain the Ninth Prince and the Princess."

"Chu Heng thanks His Majesty!"

Emperor Hui raised his glass and motioned Chu Heng to sit down.

The slight unhappiness in his heart just now disappeared without a trace in an instant. Since his son was a prince, it was his duty to receive the envoys, and it was not a bad idea to accompany him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hui's mood suddenly became bright and cheerful.

Especially when he saw the twelve dancers, each of them had a graceful figure and a rosy face, Emperor Hui was even more delighted and watched the singing and dancing on the stage intently.

"Sit for a while longer. If you feel bored, we'll leave first."

Yan Qi only spoke softly to Zhao Huayin and did not even look at Emperor Hui.

"It's okay. The Imperial Concubine specially asked me to come here. It would be rude to leave early."

"Don't restrain yourself. If you don't like it, just tell me."

"it is good."

As the two men were talking in low voices, a song and dance ended, and Emperor Hui led the applause.

"Good! It's really unique, enjoy!"
