Chapter 717 Divine Guard
"Li'er, you are the emperor, the ruler of a country." King Xiao looked at her speechlessly.
"I know." Yan Li nodded.
"The Emperor is supposed to be busy with all kinds of affairs." King Xiao reminded again.
"That's right." Yan Li nodded again.
"Why do you always pass the blame to me? You complain about being tired after handling a small matter." King Xiao rolled his eyes at him.
"Who says I'm so lucky? I have such a good brother Yi, who allows me to be lazy." Yan Li immediately started to flatter him.
King Xiao couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
War King: ...
You deserve it because you have to work so hard every day to deal with the National Master. Li'er can make you lose your mind with just one sentence.
It’s really easy to coax!
The next day.
Yan Li and the others were drinking tea and chatting in the imperial garden when the chief guard came in again.
"Your Majesty, the Bai family has sent an invitation to King Bingjian." The chief guard handed over the invitation respectfully.
Yan Li took the invitation and opened it, and her expression became strange.
"What's wrong?" King Xiao looked at Yan Li.
"It seems that General Bai has not given up his plan to attack you." Yan Li handed the invitation in his hand to King Xiao.
When King Xiao took it and looked at it, his expression immediately darkened!
The invitation said that it was the birthday of Bai Xin, the eldest daughter of the Bai family, and invited King Xiao to attend the banquet.
It seems that the Bai family still hasn't figured out how high his status as the King of Side by Side is.
"Brother Yi, are you going?" Yan Li looked at him teasingly.
"Go, but Li'er must accompany me." King Xiao said when he saw Yan Li's gloating expression.
"No, no. It would be too cheap for me, an emperor, to attend the birthday party of the eldest daughter of the Bai family. It would also be too much of an honor for her." Yan Li shook her head.
Guard Leader: ...
The Emperor really doesn't act like an Emperor at all in front of the Royal Husband and the King.
That was clearly a little girl who needed their protection.
"You can disguise yourself and accompany me, and my elder brother can't escape either." King Xiao calmly placed the invitation on the table.
Guard Leader: ...
King Bingjian, can you please avoid me when you say these things? Is this something I, the leader of the guards, can listen to?
"Brother Yi, are you attracted to the eldest daughter of the Bai family?" Yan Li looked at King Xiao teasingly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you think it's problematic that the always quiet Bai family suddenly shows up?" King Xiao rolled his eyes at Yan Li.
"You discovered it too? But we can't rule out the possibility that the Bai family is just looking for a backer." Yan Li's expression became serious.
"That's why we need to investigate." King Xiao said.
"Okay." Yan Li nodded.
The next day.
After Yan Li met with several supreme elders, she and King Zhan disguised themselves and followed King Xiao to the Bai family.
In the courtyard of the Supreme Elder.
"What is this girl doing again?" The second supreme elder muttered while chewing the fresh spiritual fruit brought by Yan Li.
"I guess there is a problem with the Bai family, and the girl has gone to deal with it." The great elder smiled.
"She disguised herself, but her personality doesn't seem like that of a girl." The second supreme elder was puzzled.
"That's certainly not like Li'er's character, so there is only one explanation, that is, Li'er is just suspicious." The Third Grand Elder said with a smile.
"It seems so." The other two supreme elders nodded.
Speaking of Yan Li and the others, after leaving the Imperial Palace, they headed towards the Bai family.
Arrived at the Bai family’s door.
When the Bai family saw that it was the imperial palace's carriage, they immediately came out to greet it enthusiastically.
The guests who came to the banquet were all very surprised.
After all, everyone knows that General Bai once had a terrible quarrel with the Emperor over the issue of retiring from the army.
I didn't expect that King Bingjian would be invited to attend Miss Bai Xin's birthday party.
Upon hearing that King Bing Xiang had arrived, the eldest daughter of the Bai family came out to greet him in person.
She looked at Yan Li and their carriage shyly.
Under the gaze of everyone, King Xiao got off the carriage.
"King Bingjian, please come in." General Bai made a gesture of invitation to King Xiao.
Who knew that King Xiao ignored him and looked at the carriage instead.
General Bai: ...
Anyone else?
Could it be that the Emperor and the Royal Husband are here too?
Just as General Bai was wondering, two unfamiliar faces jumped out of the carriage.
Seeing that it was not Yan Li, General Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shoulder to shoulder with the King, who are they?" General Bai looked towards King Xiao.
"They are my guards." King Xiao said with a cold expression.
General Bai: ...
It was the first time I saw a guard sitting in the same carriage with his master, and he even got off later than his master.
"Bai Xin greets the prince." Bai Xin seized the opportunity to step forward and make his presence felt.
"Can we come in?" King Xiao ignored him and looked at General Bai.
Bai Xin's face turned pale when he saw this.
So many people were watching her, yet she was ignored.
How can I, the birthday boy, save my face?
"Please come in, King Bingjian." General Bai made a gesture of invitation.
Upon hearing this, Prince Xiao walked straight into the Bai family, and Yan Li and Prince Zhan followed.
Seeing King Xiao and the others go in, Bai Xin hurriedly followed them in.
She had received a mission from her family before that she must take down the King, but she was actually still very hesitant.
When she saw this King of Side by Side today, she was so handsome and had such a unique temperament that she fell in love with him at first sight.
Therefore, he became more proactive in the tasks assigned by the family.
She must win the title of King of Side by Side to bring honor to her family and happiness to herself.
General Bai Lao personally brought King Xiao to his seat.
Since Yan Li and King Zhan were guards, they did not have seats, but stood behind King Xiao.
After the banquet started, everyone looked over from time to time but did not dare to look openly.
Everyone knows that King Bingjian is in charge of state affairs nowadays, and his power is almost the same as that of the Emperor.
"Your Highness, some cakes." Yan Li's voice rang out when everyone was silent.
However, her voice has also been altered so that she won't be recognized.
Originally, everyone thought that Yan Li was reminding King Bingjian to eat the pastries, until they saw King Bingjian pass the entire plate of pastries in front of him to Yan Li.
"Eat slowly." In the shocked silence of everyone, King Xiao's words petrified everyone.
Bai Xin: ...
Could it be that King Bing Xiang likes that guard?
So there was a hint of hostility in her eyes when she looked at Yan Li.
Yan Li was only focused on eating the cakes and didn't pay attention to other people's reactions.
"Your Highness, if your guard likes cakes, I can ask someone to prepare an extra portion." General Bai broke the silence at the scene.
"No need, I only like to eat from the prince's table." Yan Li said casually while eating pastries.
Yan Li's words made everyone present gasp. This was truly a godly guard, snatching food from his own master.
"She will tell me if she likes to eat anything." Just when everyone thought that King Xiao would scold the guard, King Xiao spoke.
Everyone:...
Ok!
She has the capital to be arrogant, and her master's protection is her confidence.
