As soon as the wine glass was picked up, the prince knew that it was broken. The weakness of his whole hand gave him no time to react, and he dropped the wine glass.

There was a crisp sound, which was particularly clear in the main hall.

There was silence in the hall, and countless eyes came over to see a white jade wine glass rolling around.

Originally, it was just a trivial matter to accidentally drop the cup, but this was at the reception banquet for the Yu Liu envoys, and the person who dropped the cup was the prince. The rolling white jade wine cup seemed to have rolled into the hearts of every Zhou official who wanted to save face. It was embarrassing for Quiet.

It spread down the hall.

The prince forced himself to smile: "Sorry, my hand slipped accidentally just now. Everyone, keep going, keep going."

The officials' eyes were subtle and they couldn't help but glance at the prince's left hand.

The rumors turned out to be true, the prince’s left hand was really useless!

This discovery made all the ministers feel different and speechless for a while.

Emperor Tai'an's eyes were as deep as the abyss, he glanced at the prince, and then raised his glass to Prince Yuliu: "This journey has been long, thank you for your hard work, prince."

Prince Yu Liu raised his glass with a smile, as if nothing had happened: "I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of your country all the way, and Xiao Wang didn't feel any hardship at all."

Several ministers also raised their glasses and took turns toasting to the Yuliu envoy, and the scene became lively again.

After the reception banquet was over, Emperor Tai'an called the prince to the imperial study: "You have lost your dignity in front of Prince Yuliu. You have really brought great shame to the great Zhou Dynasty!"

The prince was originally worried, but after being scolded by Emperor Tai'an, he suddenly felt aggrieved: "My son doesn't want to do it either. Who made my son's left hand useless?"

After hearing this, Emperor Tai'an no longer felt distressed, but became even more angry: "You know there is something wrong with your left hand, why do you use your left hand to hold the cup?"

The prince was stunned by the question and said: "It is inevitable that there will be times when you forget-"

"Ha!" Emperor Tai'an sneered, interrupting the prince's sophistry, "Did you forget it because you were distracted by Princess Yuliu?"

The prince's face immediately turned the color of pig liver: "My son doesn't—"

Emperor Tai'an was too lazy to listen to the prince's feeble rebuttal and said coldly: "You are the prince of Zhou Dynasty and the prince of a country. Have you seen too many stunning beauties? It's too embarrassing for me to be seduced by a woman and lose your composure in front of others on such an occasion.

disappointed!"

These words were not unimportant. The prince's face was extremely ugly and he felt very unconvinced.

I have seen a lot of stunning women, but not many of them belong to him, let alone the newly married princess who has a big face that makes her look off-putting.

He suspected that his father was dissatisfied with him and deliberately tortured him.

The anger revealed in the prince's expression made Emperor Tai'an feel chilled.

He made a fool of himself in front of foreigners and didn't know how to reflect on himself. Instead, he felt aggrieved. This bastard really couldn't stand up to the wall.

The scene of King Wei smiling at Yan Yan at the reception banquet flashed through his mind, and Emperor Tai'an couldn't help but be lost in thought.

The prince quietly observed Emperor Tai'an's expression. He felt a little flustered for no reason. He lowered his head and said calmly: "Father, my son knows he was wrong."

Emperor Tai'an came back to his senses, looked at the prince who lowered his head and admitted his mistake, and stabilized his mind. He gave a serious warning: "You are the prince, and you will inevitably have to deal with Prince Yuliu during his visit. What happened today will never happen again."

The prince made repeated promises and had another fit when he returned to the East Palace.

The Crown Princess was too ugly and didn't want to go, and it was boring to go to Sun Xuanshi's place too much, so she didn't want to go either. In the end, the Crown Prince hid in the dormitory and was served by Wang Fu, and then he forgot about his unhappiness.

Prince Yuliu and his entourage were accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to the arranged Honglu Guesthouse. When there were no outsiders, Princess Lingque became sullen: "Brother Wang, have you seen that Prince Zhou?"

He always looks at my face, looking so despicable and vulgar!"

Prince Yu Liu smiled slightly: "Isn't it nice of Prince Zhou to look like this? If he is smart, capable and has strong self-control, it will be of no benefit to us Yu Liu."

It is not limited by strength. Which country is willing to be the younger brother all the time? As the prince of Yuliu, he wishes that both Zhou and Qi would turn into a pot of porridge.

Princess Lingque nodded in agreement and said thankfully: "Fortunately, my father has no intention of letting me marry the Prince of Zhou."

Prince Yu Liu glanced at his sister and said, "If you really have this plan, will your sister disobey your father?"

Princess Lingque curled her lips and said calmly: "Of course I will listen to your father's words."

Prince Yu Liu smiled: "No wonder my father loves his sister the most."

During this visit, both he and his sister came with a mission. He wanted to see with his own eyes the reality of the Great Zhou Dynasty for his father, while his sister wanted to use her marriage to stir up the muddy waters. When the most suitable target was selected, there was no choice.

My sister is choosing, maybe the target is not as good as the Prince of Zhou.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, I know the importance." Princess Lingque's facial features were exquisite and agile, with a soft and sweet temperament, but at this moment she showed her coldness.

In Yuliu, a woman is particularly contemptuous. Even if she is a beloved princess, she can only be submissive to her husband when she gets married. It is rare to have such an opportunity to serve the country, and her father also promised to give her no less than the royal brothers.

She will only work hard to seize status so that she will not feel aggrieved.

The news of Princess Yuliu's stunning beauty spread quickly after the reception banquet was over. When the princes and noble ladies of various mansions received the notice that the banquet was going to be held in the Fragrance Garden, they inevitably became eager to see the beauty of the exotic princess.

In the general's mansion, Mrs. Lin was complaining to her daughter, who was dressed up and ready for the banquet: "Who made the rules? Why are you the only one going there?"

She also wanted to see how beautiful Princess Yuliu was.

The old lady's face darkened: "Don't go around joining in the fun. The Yamen has asked you twice about the headless female body in Tianyuan Temple."

Lin said: "I'm just saying. By the way, the young masters from all the provinces will also go to accompany Prince Yuliu. Although there will be separate banquets, they will be in the same garden after all. Ah Hao, you have to remind Prince Jing

, don’t wander around.”

There are some things that you have to guard against.

Lin Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother, the prince is not feeling well and will not be able to go to this banquet."

Qi Shuo directly chose to avoid the troubles in his previous life. The reason was easy to find. After all, people knew that Prince Jing was weak and it was common for him to get sick.

Lin's face changed slightly after hearing this.

Son-in-law is sick again?

Then she would be even more worried!

"Ah okay——"

"The little princess is still waiting for me. I'll leave first." Lin Hao knew what his mother wanted to say and left quickly.

The carriage of Prince Jing's Mansion had stopped outside the gate. The second son, Qi Huan, was holding the horse and standing beside the carriage. When he saw the carriage of the General's Mansion coming out, he knocked on the wall of the carriage: "Sister-in-law is out."

Qi Qiong raised the curtains of the car and waved to Lin Hao, who was looking out the window: "Hao, why don't we take a carriage so we can talk on the way."

"OK."

Seeing Lin Hao's promise, Qi Qiongli got off the carriage and said, "Second brother, I'll go and sit with Ah Hao."

"Hey -" Before Qi Huan could say anything, he saw his sister had already entered the general's car.

He looked at the empty carriage next to him and then at the horse leading him, and suddenly felt sad.
