As soon as Nan Yan and Shang Yue walked out of the yard, they saw two children sitting on a stone bench under the willow tree outside the yard.

As soon as they saw them, they quickly got up and ran over.

"Father, Emperor, and Mother, let's go quickly!"

Little Lezhi held the hands of the two men, her upturned face unable to hide her urgency.

Nan Yan leaned over and scratched the little girl's nose, teasing, "Let's go now, little foodie."

The little girl pouted and immediately retorted, "Mother, I'm not a little foodie."

At this age, it is time to save face.

"Okay, you're not a foodie, but your mother is."

Hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on her little face.

Shang Yue and Nan Yan walked in the middle, each holding a child. Looking from behind, their backs were coordinated and they looked like an enviable family.

When they arrived, everyone else had already arrived.

There was a small barbecue stove in front of each table. The palace servants were grilling meat. The aroma had spread everywhere and even drifted far away.

The smell whets your appetite.

Just as everyone was about to stand up, Shang Yue extended his hand to indicate that there was no need to bow, "Today everyone can be as casual as they want, no need to be polite."

Shang Lezhi opened his big watery eyes and stared at the grilled meat on the small stove in front of his table without blinking, as if he wished the meat would fly into his mouth immediately.

Nan Yan couldn't help but smile when she saw it, and quickened her pace. She was afraid that the little girl's saliva would fall when she walked slowly past.

As soon as Xiao Lezhi sat down, the maid placed the roasted meat on a plate in front of her.

She couldn't wait to pick up three strings.

No matter how greedy she was, she still took the barbecue and walked over to the side, "Father, mother, queen, brother, you guys eat."

The three of them smiled and took the barbecue from Xiao Lezhi's hands. She quickly sat back in her seat, picked up a skewer of barbecue and put it into her mouth. It tasted so good that she squinted her eyes.

The barbecue is sprinkled with Nanyan’s special barbecue seasoning, which is incomparable to ordinary barbecue.

It was a lively barbecue feast, and everyone in Dashang had a smile on their face. It was such a lively occasion as they drank and ate meat.

Although people from other countries appear to be in a good mood on the surface, if you look closely, you can see that their smiles are somewhat forced and there is no smile in their eyes.

All the countries present have not met for more than ten years, and there has been no war.

In their impression, Shang Yue was a resourceful and wise king, and he was like an eagle on the battlefield, invincible. Especially the war in which he defeated the Yuan Dynasty with a smaller force made him famous.

However, no matter how powerful a person is, if the people of his own country hold him back, he will not be able to govern the entire country in an orderly manner.

Their impression of the Shang Dynasty mostly remains on the period when the previous emperor was in power.

At that time, although the Shang Dynasty was powerful, due to the previous emperor's poor management and his self-entertainment, the country declined and its military strength was weak.

From the moment they entered the territory of Da Shang, they witnessed the prosperity of Da Shang and the peace and prosperity of its people. At that time, they had never imagined how powerful Da Shang was.

After three rounds of competition, they now have a deep understanding of this.

I originally thought that the Yuan Dynasty was the most powerful country on this continent, but now I feel that the Shang Dynasty is it.

Dashang is developing so fast. If it is allowed to continue developing, its future national strength will be immeasurable.

The envoys were filled with worries.

The most heartless ones are Yuan Qianqian and Xi Qiu.

Yuan Qianqian had never eaten barbecue before, but she had eaten it several times on the way from Dayuan to Dashang.

They were all hunted and killed by the guards on the spot. When she first ate them, she was amazed by the taste.

But the taste was far inferior to what I eat now. I don’t know what kind of seasoning the barbecue maid sprinkled on it, but it was so delicious.

While eating, she did not forget to pay attention to Xi Qiu behind her. When no one was paying attention, she stuffed a skewer of barbecue into Xi Qiu's mouth.

Yuan Anchen drank his tea with little interest, glanced at the four people who were having a great time, then stood up and left the yard.

Shang Yuan, who was on the opposite side, saw the person leaving, his eyes flashed, and he also stood up and left.

After a while, they both came back one after another.

Shang Yue glanced at the two of them lightly, then retracted his gaze. He tapped the chair under him with his fingers and lowered his eyes to look at the small table in front of him.

It was almost midnight when the barbecue party ended.

The reason why Nan Yan's horse was frightened has been found out. Someone shot an ordinary silver needle into the horse's buttocks, but there were so many people at the scene where the horse was frightened that it was impossible to find out who shot it.

Nan Yan saw Shang Yue walking in with a sullen face in the bronze mirror, and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Can't find the murderer?"

"Yes." Shang Yue nodded, "Silver needles are too common and can be bought everywhere. It is impossible to use them to identify the murderer."

He sat on the stool next to Nan Yan and hugged her in his arms.

"Yan'er, you've been wronged."

Nan Yan leaned in his arms and shook her head. "I'm not wronged. I'm fine. I know it's very troublesome to investigate this matter. It may also cause anger in other countries. In the end, nothing will be found."

She knew that Yuan Anchen would definitely not leave any evidence behind. If she investigated, he might find a reason to put the blame on her, so there was no need to investigate.

A dreamless night.

The next day, everyone set out back to the capital.

Yuan Qianqian returned to the post station and went to the mall early the next morning with Xi Qiu and some guards.

On the way back, she saw how ugly Yuan Yingtang's face was. She was afraid of being in trouble, so she had to go out.

After walking around the mall, she went to Yuelai Inn.

I thought it was still early, there wouldn't be so many people, and there should be a seat in the lobby.

But when I went in, I saw that the lobby was full.

Xi Qiu glanced around and then looked away, "Princess, are we going back to the mall?"

"Let's go back! We don't know when there will be a spot here."

"Wait a minute, girl."

Just as she turned to leave, a young man suddenly ran out from behind and blocked her way.

Xi Qiu was startled. Without seeing who it was, he quickly stood in front of Yuan Qianqian and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Don't get excited girl, I mean no harm."

When she saw the face of the person in front of her clearly, she felt that he looked familiar.

But which bad guy would say he was going to do something bad? She still stood in front of Yuan Qianqian.

Yuan Qianqian's heart skipped a beat.

If she remembered correctly, this was Ruan Ning'an's attendant.

Mu Dong shifted his gaze from Xi Qiu, who looked alert, to the woman behind her.

"Girl, my young master invites you."

A glimmer of joy flashed across Yuan Qianqian's eyes.

Xi Qiu was just about to ask who your son is when she heard her princess say, "Please lead the way."

She turned around in shock, "Sir...what are you doing..."

How could a princess accept an invitation from a stranger so easily!

"Xi Qiu, it's okay, I know his son."

Yuan Qianqian followed Mu Dong up to the second floor, followed by Xi Qiu, who looked confused.

The princess had just arrived, so how could she know anyone from the capital of Dashang?

Her mind was full of thoughts, as she thought about who the princess might know while following closely behind Yuan Qianqian, so that she could protect the princess in time if she was in harm's way.
