Chapter 649 Departure to Qingmei Empire
"No need. This imperial conference is not under my primary responsibility." Prince Qingmo shook his head.
Originally, my father just wanted to give me enough time to compete with Crown Prince Lan Zhe for Emperor Yan Li. How could he possibly leave the Imperial Conference to me?
But what he didn't expect was that Emperor Yan Li already had a husband.
He no longer even had a chance to compete with Prince Lanzhe.
"So that's how it is." Yan Li nodded in understanding.
"I wonder which force the emperor's husband comes from?" Lan Xin looked at King Zhan.
"You live by the sea?" Yan Li rolled her eyes at her.
"As a princess, I naturally live in the palace." Lan Xin curled her lips when she heard that.
"Why do you care so much?" Yan Li's tone was full of contempt.
Lan Xin: ...
Is she mocking herself?
"Li'er, don't be angry." King Zhan said as he peeled a grape for Yan Li.
Lan Xin's face turned even darker when he saw this.
"I'm just curious. Why is Your Majesty so aggressive?" Lan Xin's tone was full of grievance.
"Prince Lanzhe, does your family grow tea?" Yan Li looked at Prince Lanzhe who was standing aside.
"Your Majesty, our Lanqin Empire is not good at growing tea, but we are good at growing various lotus flowers." Prince Lanzhe was very curious why Yan Li asked such a question.
"Is the white lotus grown particularly well?" Yan Li looked at Prince Lan Zhe.
"Indeed, the best thing we raise in the Lanqin Empire is the white lotus." Prince Lanzhe nodded.
"No wonder, she even has the temperament of a white lotus." Yan Li looked at Lan Xin with contempt in her eyes.
“Your Majesty, you are too polite. How can humans compare with the holy white lotus?” Prince Lanzhe said modestly.
Yan Li: ...
Unable to communicate!
There is no way to communicate at all!
They thought they were praising them.
Prince Xiao and Prince Zhan, who understood the white lotus meaning in Yan Li's words, almost laughed out loud when they saw Prince Lanzhe's humble look.
Prince Lanzhe and Prince Qingmo stayed for a while and then said goodbye and left.
"Your Majesty." Just after the two princes left, Xu Hu, who had not been seen for a long time, arrived.
"What's wrong? You look tired." Yan Li looked at him with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that I have come to the Imperial Palace to seek refuge." Xu Hu felt a little embarrassed.
"Seek refuge? What happened? Is it that the Xu family is causing you trouble again?" Nangong Xi looked at Xu Hu curiously.
"They didn't cause us any trouble, but they were thinking about sending us back all day long. The worst thing is that they actually sent three women here, telling them to cultivate feelings with me and choose one of them as my wife." Xu Hu's eyes were full of anger.
"Uncle and aunt also agree with their approach?" Yan Li was a little puzzled.
"Of course my parents don't want to, and they don't want my marriage to be controlled by them." Xu Hu shook his head.
"In that case, why not just not let them enter the Xu family?" Yan Li replied.
After all, with the Xu family's current protective formations and barriers, no one else can enter without their permission.
"Originally we didn't allow them to enter, but the Xu family sent a message saying that I will stay with those three women for three months. If I still don't like them after three months, they will leave and never disturb our family's life again." Xu Hu said as he took the tea handed over by Yan Li and took a sip.
"And then?" Yan Li looked at him.
"Then my parents told me to be patient and that three months would pass quickly." Xu Hu felt a little disappointed.
"Puchi... It seems that uncle and aunt are prepared to sacrifice you for three months in exchange for your family's future peace." Yan Li felt a little gloating when he heard this.
"It's really because those three women are too annoying, and no matter where I hide in this capital, they can find me. So I had no choice but to run to the Imperial Palace to find some peace and quiet." Xu Hu sighed after he finished speaking.
"So are you going to hide in the Imperial Palace forever?" Yan Li looked at him teasingly.
"It's not suitable for me to stay in the imperial palace for too long." Xu Hu was very distressed.
"The Great Elder has been very busy lately, why don't you go and help him for a while?" Yan Li looked at Xu Hu with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will go find the Grand Elder right away." Upon hearing this, Xu Hu excitedly went to find the Grand Elder.
"Can the Xu family really let go?" King Xiao asked as he watched Xu Hu's departing back.
"It's unlikely that they'll let go, but now it seems like they're trying to show goodwill to Xu Hu and the others." Yan Li smiled when she heard that.
The following time was very peaceful, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Yan Li and his companions were preparing to go to the Qingmo Empire to attend the Imperial Conference.
Accompanying them this time were the First Elder and the Second Elder.
The affairs of the Zi Yan Empire will be handled by the Third Elder first.
Early in the morning, the two princes came to meet Yan Li and others.
"It's quite early for the two princes." Yan Li looked at them.
"I just got up early." Prince Lan Zhe said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Since we are setting off, we should set off early." Prince Qingmo also spoke.
In fact, they had long known that Emperor Yan Li never did things according to the rules, and they were worried that Yan Li would abandon them and run away first.
Therefore, they came to the imperial palace early and waited.
"In that case, let's set off." Yan Li said as he summoned a flying monster.
As Yan Li jumped onto the flying monster, Zhan Wang and the others followed closely behind.
Seeing this, the two princes also summoned flying monsters and followed with their respective teams.
"Alas... The Emperor and the others just came back and they are out again not long ago." Looking at the backs of Yan Li and the others as they left, the Third Elder sighed.
"Alas... We finally had a king who could seriously handle state affairs, but he was taken away by the Emperor." The Prime Minister felt very sad.
"Alas... I don't know when the Emperor and the others will be able to come back." General Zhao sighed.
……
This group of elders and ministers looked like abandoned children, sighing as they watched Yan Li and the others leave.
Yan Li and the others flew towards the Qingmei Empire.
Half a day had passed unknowingly, and just when Yan Li was about to ask the two princes if they wanted to stop to eat something before continuing on their journey.
A dark aura swept towards them.
Yan Li and the others immediately became alert.
This dark aura belongs to the Fu'an Pavilion, which proves that they are being targeted by people from the Fu'an Pavilion.
Yan Li calmly took out the protective amulet and spell formation to protect everyone from being invaded by the dark aura.
"Such a strong dark aura, what's going on?" Prince Lan Zhe looked around vigilantly.
"We are being targeted." Prince Qingmo said.
"Who on earth is so bold as to attack the royal families of our three empires?" Lan Xin had a condescending expression.
Yan Li: ...
The eldest princess of the Lanqin Empire is really a frog in the well. She thinks that as a member of the royal family of one of the three major empires, everyone should be afraid of her.
In fact, she didn't understand that this is a world where strength is respected. No matter who she is, if she doesn't have strength, she will be a scum in the eyes of others.
