When they arrived at the banquet venue, Lin Dai asked Shen Qing if she had a seat.

"Of course you do. The emperor specially arranged a place for you."

"Where is it? I won't sit here if the seat is not good. Today, my sister wants to be the center of attention." Lin Dai just wanted to provoke Qin Yan and others.

Shen Qing smiled and said in his heart, "Little brat, whose sister are you?"

"That location may not be as good as you think, but it's not far away either."

"While there is still some time, hurry up and change. Don't force me to sit in the position of Queen Mother. I'm not afraid of anyone." The invincible Lin Daike dares to do anything now.

"Eh?!" Shen Qing touched his forehead helplessly: "Auntie, for my sake, can you just put up with it for now?"

Lin Dai rolled her eyes at him: "What face do you have? Are you shameless?" She sighed again: "Okay, take me there, I will bear with it."

"Yes, yes, our Miss Lin Dai has been wronged."

Lin Dai sat casually in her seat and looked at other people lazily. Oh, there are really quite a few female relatives here. It seems that there are quite a few people who are thoughtful.

"Shen Qing, go ahead and do your work. I can do it here by myself."

"Can you do it yourself?"

Lin Dai leaned over and supported her head with one hand, looking at Shen Qing: "Are you worried about me, or are you worried about other people who are looking for trouble?"

Shen Qing thought about it, nodded, and left.

Lin Dai was eating melon seeds out of boredom when she accidentally caught sight of Qin Zheng, who was sitting among a group of men. However, he didn't see her, but Qin Yan saw her.

Lin Dai immediately sat up straight, rubbed her hands together, smiled sweetly at Qin Yan, blew hot air on her hands, then slowly raised her hands and raised her middle fingers.

Qin Yan immediately narrowed his eyes and showed a dangerous look. Who is this person? The people sent out found an ordinary girl from Gusu City.

Lin Dai felt that there were many people around looking at her and pointing at her. Lin Dai saw that they were the girl from the Qin family and a bunch of lackeys. She didn't bother to pay attention to them and let them enjoy the last good times.

At the hour of You, a eunuch shouted, "The Queen Mother has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"

Everyone except Qin Yan stood up and knelt down: "Long live the Empress Dowager. Long live the Empress." Of course, except Lin Dai who was still eating melon seeds.

The Queen Mother and the Empress walked up to the main seat. The Queen Mother stood there and looked down. Suddenly, she saw someone who didn't kneel down. She immediately scolded him, "How dare you! Whose child is that? How dare you not kneel down when you see me and the Empress?"

Everyone looked up and looked around to see who was so bold, and saw a little girl sitting on a chair eating, not moving.

Only a few people from the Qin family had seen Lin Dai. Qin Zheng also recognized her and wondered why she was here and so bold. Who was she? Why did his father later warn him to stay away from her?

Lin Dai glanced upwards, spat out a melon seed shell, and ignored it.

The Queen Mother was furious: "Come here, drag her out and give her 30 lashes of the cane, and drive her out of the palace."

"Why are you yelling? You are as uneducated as a shrew. I don't even kneel when I see the emperor. Who do you think you are and why should I kneel to you?" Lin Dai stopped eating melon seeds and took out a wet tissue from her sleeve to wipe her hands. When dealing with vicious and bad people who are not worthy of respect, just scold them no matter who they are.

"You..." The Queen Mother was about to say something, but suddenly a eunuch's voice came: "The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone was wondering if the emperor was ill and bedridden. Qin Yan looked at the empress dowager and the queen above and asked them to stay calm.

When they saw Yan Di being supported by the eunuchs and standing in front with a pale face, everyone knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor."

"My dear ministers, please stand up and sit down. The Queen Mother and the Empress, please sit down first." The emperor sat on the main seat and looked at Lin Dai below, remembering what Shen Qing had just said to him.

In fact, the emperor watched from the side for a while, and was very surprised to see a little girl dare to confront the queen mother, but he felt happy in his heart. It was not until Shen Qing told him that it was Master Wuyou that he was shocked. It was Shen Qing who reminded him to come forward to rescue, and then let the eunuch make a statement.

The Queen Mother and the Empress looked at each other and could only walk to their seats and sit down.

The emperor glanced at Qin Yan, and Qin Yan also looked at him. He sat on the chair and spoke to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you are so ill, why are you still out here to get some fresh air?"

Yan Di looked at Qin Yan and said with a half-smile: "I thank the Prime Minister for his concern. Today is not only the Lantern Festival of Great Yan, but also envoys from other countries are visiting. How can I not attend?"

Qin Yan nodded: "Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty should take care of your health and call the imperial physician if you feel unwell."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Qin Yan turned his head and said nothing more, but his hands under his sleeves kept rubbing.

Yan Di looked at Qin Yan with increasingly fierce eyes, then signaled to the eunuch beside him, who shouted again: "Announce the envoys of Wei, Xia, and foreign vassal states to see you!"

Not long after the words were spoken, a group of people walked to the center of the banquet hall.

"Prince Wei Lizhe of Wei State greets the Emperor of Dayan." Wei Lizhe just nodded slightly and walked to his seat.

"Foreign vassal Agula greets the Emperor of Dayan." After saying this, he sat down directly on the seat.

"Empress Xia Rufei of the Xia Dynasty meets Emperor Yan." Xia Rufei did not perform the ceremony because she was also the ruler of a country.

Only the queen had a slightly better attitude. After greeting everyone, she waited for Yan Di to invite her to take a seat. So Yan Di also gave her face and said, "Welcome to today's banquet, Queen. Please take a seat."

Lin Dai looked at them like a farce. Those two really looked down on Dayan and didn't give Yan Di any face. Why wasn't the third prince of Wei here? It seemed that it was resolved.

Everyone was present and the time was almost up. Yan Di announced the official start of the banquet, and then the palace maids served desserts, fruits and various snacks. There were also performances by the palace maids on the stage not far away.

Lin Dai looked for a while, then secretly left, went to an empty place, entered the space, changed into the clothes of Young Master Wuyou, and entered Qin Yan's study with a teleportation talisman.

"Chubby, find all the evidence."

"Sister, I have checked, and none of the important things are in the study."

"Not in the study? That's beyond my expectation. Everyone puts important things in the study. This old thief Qin is really different. I was wondering why such an important place as the Qin Mansion's study is not watched by many people. Let's check where all the things are."

"Okay... I found the small wooden house in the bamboo forest that I visited last time. There is a trap in the house, and there are assassins guarding in the dark."

"This old thief is really cunning. Fatty, get me the most poisonous one. I hope it can kill those assassins. If it were any other time, I would have a good time with them. But today, we must not alert them and poison them to death directly."

"Okay, no problem."

Lin Dai flew to the bamboo forest according to the route she remembered, and then walked towards the wooden house casually.

He walked to the door, put one hand behind his back, and fanned slowly with the other hand. Seeing no movement, he closed the fan, knocked on his hand, and shouted, "Gatekeeper, come out, or I'll burn this place down."

"Swish, swish, swish" a group of men in black fell from the sky.

Lin Dai stood there motionless, waiting until the men in black landed and were about to attack, then they all fell to the ground with a bang, completely unaware of what was happening.

"I'm so sorry. I used such a despicable method, but I don't admit it."

"Chubby, are there any hidden weapons in the room?"

"No, just go in, the switch is behind the painting on the wall."

Lin Dai followed the system's instructions and entered a secret room. It was not very big, but the things inside were all extremely important. She collected them all, and even found a dragon robe. As expected, those who wanted to rebel couldn't wait to put on the dragon robe and made it secretly in advance.

After leaving the Qin Mansion, he told the system to organize the evidence he would need tonight, and then teleported back to the palace.

Back at the palace, girls from various families were competing to perform on the stage. Lin Dai did not sit down, but found a secluded place to eat melon seeds while complaining: "Whose girl is this? She is pretty, but her eyes failed to flirt and ended up rolling her eyes. Oh, that girl has well-developed breasts. If she lowers her clothes any lower, they will probably fall off."

The secret guards next to him looked at each other. This Young Master Wuyou was really... well, extraordinary.

Lin Dai spat out a melon seed shell and said to one of the secret guards, "Hey, who are you? Go get me a pot of warm tea. I'm a little thirsty from eating the melon seeds."

"I am Twelve, Mr. Wuyou, please wait a moment."

After a while, Twelve came with a small kettle and a cup, poured a glass of water and handed it to Lin Dai.

"Thank you. Do you want some melon seeds?"

The secret guard shook his head. Lin Dai thought about it and nodded: "Yes, you are working now."

The performance time was over, and the emperor rewarded everyone one by one. Then the foreign vassal king Agula stood up and said, "Yan Di, what do you think about what I said in the hall before? I came here with full sincerity."

"Agula, I said this is non-negotiable. You want to exchange 1000 sheep and 50 horses for two cities of Dayan. The land of Dayan will only belong to Dayan."

"Yan Di, you can't say that. You know very well what those two cities are like. The land is barren and there is no food. The people are starving to death. I am trying to save them, but you are disregarding their lives."

"How dare you! Cough cough..." Yan Di immediately covered his mouth with a handkerchief and kept coughing. When he took away the handkerchief, the eunuch was immediately shocked: "Your Majesty, you vomited blood!"

The people below stood up one after another and wanted to ask about the situation. Only Qin Yan felt that the time had come. Lin Dai, who was watching the show, also said two words: "Here it comes."
