Xu Yan often feels that the best ability of these ministers under his command is acting. Look at how similar they are now. If others see it, they will only feel that they are really chatting, but Xu Yan knows that they are all talking about meaningless topics.

After all, with her, the empress sitting on it, they couldn't say anything in front of her, right? But because of her face, they had to pretend that they were really having fun chatting to relieve her. Xu Yan shook her head, feeling that they were really too funny.

Their performance continued, but Xu Yan felt a little tired. She repeated an action, which was to express her gratitude to her when the envoys from various countries came to offer her Zhongqiu gifts, and then asked the palace maids beside them to give them a reply gift she had already chosen.

It's really boring. It's obviously a reunion festival, but it's so nervous every year. Not to mention those ministers, even she herself feels depressed. She wishes time passes faster and faster, so that these ministers can go back to accompany their relatives, so that she can go back...

Thinking of Yunqi, she was immediately full of motivation. Yunqi told her a few days ago that he wanted to celebrate the Zhongqiu Festival with her. Xu Yan was shocked for a while until Yunqi shook her hand in front of her. This made her look forward to today's session. What kind of Zhongqi gift would Yunqi give her?

She was distracted by thinking about these things, and the expression on her face was also a little happy. The ministers on the side discussed whether Xu Yan liked the Ye Mingzhu, the envoys of the Southern Kingdom, who paid tribute to her, otherwise why did she just smile so happily at the envoys of the Southern Kingdom? Everyone has different opinions, and the same expression will naturally have different interpretations when it comes to the eyes of different people.

For example, Lu Huai now patted Yun Qi's shoulder and sighed: "Or it was because the southern country was smart. He had chosen a handsome man from the country to be the envoy. Look at the envoys from the countries next to him, our empress didn't even raise her eyes. Why did Xu Yan smile so brightly when the envoys from the southern country go up to offer gifts?"

Yun Qi didn't say anything, but just looked at the scene not far away. Lu Huai shook his head and felt that it was too boring to joke with Yun Qi, but he still said to him without admitting his defeat: "Besides, you and I don't know what the things prepared in the southern country are. I just have a night pearl. I don't know how many of them were placed in Xu Yan's small warehouse, but I still lack this one for her to take a look at the house? In my opinion, brother, you have to be vigilant."

Yunqi patted his hand down, tidied up his clothes, and said to him lightly: "You are too talkative today." He didn't say anything else, and walked straight to the seat arranged for him by Xu Yan.

To be honest, he actually didn't like the place Xu Yan arranged for him. Xu Yan just wanted to arrange him closer to her at the time, but he didn't expect that he could get along with the one on the table. He was actually suitable for him, because he wouldn't talk too much to people. As long as the person didn't mess with him, he could spend this boring dinner without saying a word.

But there were a few old-fashioned ministers on the table. As soon as Yun Qi sat down, the mighty general sarcastically said, "Oh, who do I think this is? Isn't this Lao Yuntou's grandson? Why did you come here to sit here? Could it be that you want to give us a cup?"

The mighty general was like a bell, and he deliberately made things difficult for Yun Qi, so not only the people at this table heard him, but almost everyone in the audience heard his ridicule. Xu Yan's eyes naturally drifted to that place. She saw Yun Qi really sitting in the seat she arranged, just a distance from her, and she could even clearly see every move of him.

But why is she so stupid? Even though she knew that the mighty general was not a fuel-efficient lamp, she had always complained about her relationship with Yun Qi. She pushed Yun Qi into the fire pit. Isn’t this intentional trouble for Yun Qi? Just as she was about to get up to rescue Yun Qi, she heard Yun Qi say, “The mighty general’s eyesight is the same as before, and his heroic demeanor is the same as usual. Looking at our dynasty, no one can match the demeanor of the mighty general. It turns out that he has the style of a military general.”

Instead of directly facing the mighty general, he responded to him from a different angle. After he finished speaking, the mighty general's face became even more proud. He did not see the ridicule of the ministers next to him at all, and simply thought that he had been praised by Yun Qi.

Although Yun Qi cleared the siege himself, Xu Yan still made him nervous. Yun Qi was too brave, how could he dare to say such sarcastic words to the mighty general? No one in the court knew that the mighty general was promoted by Xu Qing, just because no one was able to compete with his bravery on the battlefield.

However, this is his disadvantage. He has never read any books, so he did not pass the martial arts examination at all. Because of this, he was ridiculed by the ministers. They only felt that the mighty general was too rude and had no education, so he was not worthy of being such a high position. But it was just a talk. At the critical moment, they still counted on him to fight to protect the rights and interests of Xu Guo.

But now it is not the battlefield, it is now the home court for civil servants. So even if they can't stand the relationship between Xu Yan and Yun Qi, they are eager to step on his head to relieve their hatred. No one around the mighty general reminded him, so he happily accepted Yun Qi's request and left the matter of making things difficult for Yun Qi out of the sky.

Xu Yan saw that the situation there stabilized and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The people who could sit in front were all first-class ministers, and she was also blamed for being impatient. She didn't think about seat arrangements or other things, and then he rashly mentioned Yun Qi here, which would be strange if he didn't attract the attention of others.

She secretly regretted it, and thought about whether to adjust Yunqi's seat so that he could sit more hidden so as to avoid the rumors. Just as she was hesitating, the great palace maid bent down and whispered in her ear: "Your Majesty, it's almost time. You're going to talk about the singing and dancing."

Xu Yan came to his senses. It turned out that time passed so quickly, and the singing and dancing part was about to come in the blink of an eye. She cleared her throat, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, since everyone is almost chatting, I believe everyone is hungry too. Please sit down quickly. I heard that the Ministry of Rites has prepared a lot of novel things this year, let's see what it is."

As soon as she finished speaking, many young men in bright clothes floated into the hall. They were all wearing gauze dresses and dancing the most popular dances in the capital, but they were about to scare Xu Yan.
