”Grandfather, didn't you say that if I can't learn even the slightest of talent in Prince Mo, you're telling me to not go home! ”I did as you said, but now it's mine instead?”

Bai Zhixi pouted her beautiful red lips, and wiped away the tears in her eyes, as she spoke sorrowfully, but she secretly glanced at Old General Bai.

”You …”

As expected, old general did not take her trick to heart. Blowing his beard and staring with his big round eyes, with a helpless look on his face, he knocked her on the head, indicating that she should stop pretending.

”Grandfather, I'll be back to accompany you after the banquet. I promise!”

Bai Zhixi intimately grabbed onto Old General Bai's arm, looking like a shy girl. He held up two fingers with one hand, looking very confident.

Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by Bai Zhiru and Bai Zhiyuan who were walking in with the Prime Minister Bai. They looked at each other and understood. However, their expressions were different and they hid their thoughts.

Bai Zhiru had a deeper meaning, he looked at her in disdain, then arrogantly walked to the front. That was the seat of the prince and princess, and she was the empress's goddaughter as well.

However, Bai Zhiyuan was the complete opposite. Her naturally beautiful face was filled with smiles, as if a warm wind had swept across her heart. The surrounding youngsters were all attracted by her to the point that they couldn't shift their eyes away.

She was indeed worthy of being called the number one beauty in the Eastern County. She could always conceal her thoughts and smile at others. This was already a good reputation for her in the Eastern County.

However, because of her status as a concubine, many people were unwilling to befriend her.

Bai Zhixi raised his head, just in time to see this scene unfold. Li Xiu's brows were knitted tightly, the corner of her lips lifted into a faint smile, as she finished all the tea on the table in one gulp.

”Little Sister Xi Er is still as naughty as ever, and now she has made Grandfather unhappy again, right?!”

Bai Zhiyuan gracefully stepped forward and slightly bowed towards the old general. He then sat on the left side of Old General Bai and laughed at Bai Zhixi.

”You, it's better if you learn from your big sister. It's really embarrassing for me to not be able to sit or sit.”

Old General Bai received the tea from Bai Zhiyuan in satisfaction. He glared at Bai Zhixi who was sitting unsteadily and lazily, and couldn't help but start cursing at her again.

Bai Zhixi turned a deaf ear to his words and lied down on the table to take a nap. He directly ignored the excited grandfather-grandson duo beside him.

”The Emperor has arrived! The empress dowager arrived! The empress arrived. ”

Bai Zhixi who was still in his dreams suddenly heard Eunuch Lin's voice, he stood up and wiped off the saliva at the corner of his mouth, he was completely awake.

Seeing that everyone was kneeling down, and that the Old General Bai was pulling them, they quickly followed suit and knelt down. Dongfang Aoqing, who had been walking in front of him the entire time, shot a glance at him. Astonishment flashed through his dark and cold eyes, and he quickly strode towards the Dragon Throne.

”We pay our respects to Your Majesty. Esteemed Empress Dowager has lived for thousands of years. ”The empress has lived for thousands of years.”

The deafening sound spread throughout the cold and quiet Imperial Palace. Dong Aoqing looked at the person in front of him, his cold face revealing a smile.

”Everyone, please rise!”

He waved to the crowd, and a deep and deep voice sounded above his head. Bai Zhixi's heart instantly leaped to his throat. This was the first time he had seen the legendary emperor, and couldn't help but feel a burst of nervousness in his heart.

”Thank you, your majesty!”

After receiving his agreement, Bai Zhixi raised his head and looked at the imposing dragon throne in front of him. A middle-aged man sat majestically on top of it, his bright yellow robe embroidered with the picture of a dragon soaring in the sea, the sleeves of his robe fluttering in the wind under the surging golden waves. His long eyebrows were slightly raised, and his pupils were like black jade that flickered with a genial light, his handsome face reflected the morning light, and with the majesty of a god, he exuded a king aura that shook the world, his handsome face had an unfathomable smile on it.

In her impression, the Emperor was an ordinary person with a fat head and large ears. Seeing it today had overturned decades of thought. No wonder Dongfang Chen and the others had such outstanding appearances, they actually had a handsome and rich father!

”Everyone, no need to be so courteous.”

What followed next was the Emperor's spirited speech. Bai Zhixi was not interested in any of this as he drank the osmanthus wine self-sufficient.

After the emperor had finished speaking, rows and rows of dancers dressed in exquisite clothing entered the stage in a line and danced. The dessert was sweet and crispy, the wine was fragrant, and the beauties were eye-catching. The banquet officially began.

”Reporting to Your Majesty, the foreign ministers have arrived and are waiting outside.”

A man who looked like a eunuch jogged in and kneeled on the ground as he reported in a low voice.

”Announce …”

Following the emperor's order, everyone looked towards the gate.

It was said that this time, the envoys were either princes or princesses. Everyone was well aware that at this moment, the older generation had already withdrawn from this silent battlefield. It was a young generation's world. As for what kind of storm it would create, that was something that would come later.

”Announce the presence of the envoys from all the countries...”
