"Yes!"

The secret guard disappeared in an instant.

A quarter of an hour later, the Regent arrived.

"I wonder why Your Majesty wants to call me?" Nie Bai did not kneel down, and his tone was even a bit careless and lacked respect.

There was a dark current in the eyes of the King of Chu, and he got straight to the point, "Why is the Regent unwilling to attend this welcoming banquet? This is related to the exchanges between the two countries."

Nie Bai raised his head indifferently, "The prince of Mu country has bad intentions. I don't think there is anything worth welcoming him."

The King of Chu was speechless. What was the reason?

"Is there any evidence?"

Mentioning this, Nie Bai became more and more annoyed. After Mu Yu left with him that day, he didn't get anything out of her and didn't find anything out either, which made Nie Bai extremely dissatisfied.

"You are His Majesty. I am weak and sick, so I cannot attend."

There was sarcasm in these words. Emperor Chu heard it instantly and felt a little angry.

Poisoning is always a difficult matter, and it was not completely successful. At least now the antidote is in the hands of the Queen Mother.

Thinking that the Queen Mother had become increasingly difficult to control in recent years, the Emperor of Chu became more anxious to get rid of Nie Bai.

"The prince of Mu is coming here with the idea of ​​marriage, which represents the friendship between the two countries. The regent is the pillar of Chu. If he does not participate, Mu may misunderstand that Chu despises them, which may lead to a war between the two countries!"

The word "marriage" was clearly heard by Nie Bai. He turned back suddenly, his eyes flickering and his expression unclear.

"My Lord God, your destined daughter Chu Mingzhu is the most popular princess in the Chu State. If there is a marriage, she will most likely be the one." The main system stated its analysis with a bit of coaxing.

"If you don't participate, then Chu Mingzhu..."

"I have nothing to do with her." Nie Bai forced himself to say this, but he felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if showing his dislike for Chu Mingzhu was something that would wrath upon heaven and man.

But his mind really showed that he had no feelings for Chu Mingzhu. He just didn't know why this woman had a greater influence on him than he imagined.

Could it be that he and Chu Mingzhu are really a match made in heaven?

“Lord God, please don’t miss it.” The main system tried to persuade him. It had no malfunction this time and could scan. Chu Mingzhu appeared to be the most dazzling one in the scan. Even it couldn’t help but be attracted to her.

After waiting for a long time without receiving an answer, the King of Chu suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Regent, what do you think?"

If this guy didn't have soldiers and horses in his hands, how could he, the emperor of Chu, be captured? !

The more Emperor Chu thought about it, the more angry he became. Fortunately, Nie Bai replied with a few words this time.

"Then go ahead."

After saying this, he turned and left without any respect for others, which made the King of Chu so angry that he smashed another set of tea set.

------------

The Ministry of Rites spent half a month organizing a welcome banquet for the Prince of Mu. Anyone in the Ministry who could take a breath was roped in to do the work.

On the day of the banquet, although everything went on in an orderly manner, the Ministry of Rites was still so nervous that they were sweating profusely, observing whether there was anything wrong.

Chu Mingzhu was the first to arrive. She seemed to be born to be the center of attention. As soon as she appeared, she attracted most people's attention. Men admired her and women envied her. It can be seen that her reputation is very good.

Fan Yuwen was sitting at the bottom at the moment. Seeing countless people talking to Chu Mingzhu, he felt indescribably sad for a moment. He pushed Jun Mo beside him and asked, "Aren't you jealous?"

Jun Mo took a sip of the tea, which tasted mellow and should be the best tea this year. "Don't talk nonsense. If you didn't insist on me coming, I wouldn't have come."

Not to mention being jealous for no reason?

Fan Yuwen was surprised for a moment, "You really don't like the princess?" His tone was a little happy. To him, he did have some feelings for Chu Mingzhu. The other party attracted him unconsciously, and he thought that this was being moved.

Jun Mo didn't answer this time, he didn't know how to answer.

Answer like? But when I was rational, I thought of Chu Mingzhu again, and I felt nothing. But facing that person, I still couldn't control my body and thoughts.

It seemed as if the other party had some kind of magic power that was bewitching him...

"The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Just as he was thinking, a sharp eunuch's voice brought Jun Mo back to his senses.

The Emperor of Chu came with the Queen Mother, while Chu Mingkun lagged behind the Emperor by several steps, with a respectful and gentle attitude.

However, when Chu Mingzhu heard the shout, she "flew" over like a bird returning home and boldly held Emperor Chu's arm intimately.

"Father, may you be well~"

"Mingzhu, you came so early?" Emperor Chu asked with a smile, walking towards the high seat without stopping and sitting down slowly.

The Queen gave a look, and Chu Mingzhu reluctantly stayed aside and stopped talking.

Emperor Chu looked around the hall and found that Mu Yang had not arrived yet. He could not help but flash a trace of displeasure between his brows, "Where is the eldest prince Mu?"

The eunuch at the side quickly replied, "The eldest prince said that he has prepared a surprise and it will be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion at the door. Then he saw Mu Yang, dressed in moon-white clothes, looking gentle and handsome, with a barely perceptible complexity on his face.

A group of people followed behind him, each of them holding various precious treasures, even the legendary "Night Pearl", which was sparkling, crystal clear and smooth. It was extremely eye-catching when held in Mu Yang's hand.

Everyone present was shocked, and Emperor Chu was even more surprised, not knowing why. "Why is the eldest prince doing this?"

Mu Yang saluted respectfully, then his eyes fell on Chu Mingzhu, who was looking around. When she saw the figure of Regent Nie Bai, her eyes lit up, but then she pretended not to care and looked away.

Chu Mingzhu happened to meet Mu Yang's gaze and her heart started to panic, feeling that something was wrong.

The next second, Mu Yang said in a clear voice: "Princess Mingzhu, I admire you very much and want to marry you. I hope Emperor Chu will agree to it!"

He spoke the last sentence to Emperor Chu, but his eyes were looking at Chu Mingzhu affectionately.

Chu Mingzhu's scalp was tingling and she couldn't even laugh.

Not to mention that Mu's terrain, customs and people are not as good as Chu's, and secondly -

Chu Mingzhu comes into contact with handsome men just to enjoy the pleasure of their beauty, not to marry early and ruin her happy life!

Who knew that the prince of Mu Kingdom would do such a thing!

"I don't agree!" A gloomy voice resounded throughout the hall. Everyone saw that the Regent had arrived at some point, and at this moment he stood up with a gloomy face, staring at Mu Yang.

The latter's eyes trembled, but there was a question on his face: "I don't know why the regent is against it? I fell in love with Princess Mingzhu at first sight. If I can't marry her, I can only go back and report to my father that Chu country looks down on my Mu country..."

He hadn't finished speaking, but everyone understood what he meant.

For a moment, everyone on the field had different thoughts. Many men who were attracted to Chu Mingzhu were indignant and began to make accusations. The first to bear the brunt was Fan Yuwen.

"Let's not talk about the fact that the marriage was unexpected. Princess Mingzhu is the apple of our Chu State's eye. How can you marry her whenever you want?"

"This young master is right, but I am the eldest prince of the Mu Kingdom, and Princess Mingzhu and I are both members of the royal family. I don't feel it's rude. I have prepared all the gifts, and I just hope it will be a good thing for both countries!" Mu Yang was not afraid at all, and answered word by word with a very confident attitude.

This made everyone unable to help but criticize.

Emperor Chu stared down, his eyes falling on his most precious daughter. Rather than everyone's rebuke of Mu Yang, he was more concerned about the Regent's reaction to Chu Mingzhu just now.

I had heard that Mingzhu was highly respected, but I didn't expect Nie Bai to be...

A dark light flashed across Emperor Chu's face.

At this time, there was another noise at the door. Everyone stopped talking and saw a figure slowly walking in. She had a slim figure and was wearing noble palace clothes, but she showed a bit of charm.

"The emperor really doesn't take me seriously anymore. In such a lively occasion, he doesn't even call me 'I'..."
