Once the news of the marriage between the State of Rizhi and the State of Mingxuan was revealed, Anubis's face showed a trace of anger. The State of Mingxuan only had one princess, so it was no wonder that when he proposed marriage, no one followed his words.

Lu JinNian understood why the Huns hadn't even mentioned the 'exchange' and the 'marriage alliance' yet, but Xiao Jinxi had already said that they were leaving. It seemed that the emissary of the Ruixi Country had discussed this with the Emperor many times already.

Lu Jinniang had a way to deal with the Huns' unreasonable demands for marriage relations, but it was a transactional transaction between countries.

She would never be able to get her hands on it, and unlike the Huns, the Rui Xi Country was truly powerful, and always considered themselves the strongest of the three kingdoms. Although the Nanyun Kingdom and Ming Xuan Country were not happy with this, but it had to be said that the Rui Xi Country had that kind of ability.

Lu Jinsheng lowered his eyes. Suddenly, he felt a little stifled, so he told Lu Mo Ting that he wanted to go out for a walk.

At the palace banquet, the marriage with Richie was passed over in silence. Several ministers said something else, and after three rounds of drinks, Anubis, the Hun princess, took the opportunity to ask for a dance to cheer the party up.

Murong Tan, who was originally competing in the competition, was not to be outdone. She played a tune to boost the mood, and a few other girls from Mingxuan Country came out to perform, making the atmosphere lively again.

Because of the difference in status, Lady Shen, Lu Qingwan, and Lu Qingyao were seated behind Lu Mo Ting and Lu Jin Nian. They didn't know what kind of political exchange was taking place between countries.

All he knew was that just now, Lu JinNian had stood up to talk with the Emperor and the Prince of the Hun and was out of the limelight. He had seen many handsome young masters look at Lu JinNian.

Mrs Shen couldn't help but resent in her heart, wasn't it just a grandstanding fox, and also a scarecrow, other than having a nice face, how could she compare to her light and elegant family!

Lu Qingwan had also noticed this, but her attention was still focused on the Fourth Prince. However, she discovered that throughout the entire palace banquet, the Fourth Prince had not set his gaze on her.

On the other hand, when Lu JinNian stood up to speak, she glanced at him a few times and suppressed the anger in her heart. Seeing that the Fourth Prince had left his seat to take a breather, Lu Qingwan also followed him.

Lu Qingyao had been observing this entire time. She didn't understand what the emperor and the envoys were talking about, but from the expressions of the important figures in the court, she was able to deduce the importance of this matter.

After Lu JinNian had finished speaking, the relaxed expressions on these officials' faces could be seen that Lu JinNian had reached the crux of being a Huns. Although he hadn't relaxed for long, the Ruixi Country once again stirred up their nervous nerves …

This young mistress of hers might be even more secretive than her …

Bathing in the warm sunlight, Lu JinNian's mood turned better. She didn't want to return to the formal atmosphere of the palace banquet, so she simply went to stroll in the imperial garden again.

”Little Mute, how have you been?”

Fortunately, Anubis knew that he had to speak in a place with no one around. This place was still far from the palace banquet and he was not afraid of being overheard, so he turned to Anubis and said, ”I'm fine. Prince Ji is too polite, how is Prince Ji's injury?”

Anubis felt his heart clench. However, after some thought, he realized that Lu Jinnian actually dared to confront him at the palace banquet, so he was prepared to reveal his identity. Or rather, he was trying to use her identity to intimidate him.
