After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

After listening to Chu Ning's praise of Chu Wangchen all the way, Li Youwei thought to himself that Chu Wangchen's status in the eyes of his subordinates was really high.

Chu Ning praised for a while, but didn't hear Li Youwei answer, so he couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"General Li, is our Highness very powerful?"

Li Youwei didn't expect Chu Ning to ask this question suddenly, but she still replied, "Prince Wangchen is talented and has great strategies, so he is naturally powerful."

Chu Ning was satisfied. He had not given His Highness a sense of presence along the way.

Soon after entering Zhoucheng, Chu Wangchen, dressed in a bright yellow prince's uniform, was already waiting at the city gate. There was a carriage beside him. Judging from the logo on the car, it belonged to the princess's palace.

"His Royal Highness, your subordinates have brought General Li here." Chu Ning stepped forward to reply.

"Okay, well done, you'll get a reward." Although Chu Wangchen was speaking to Chu Ning, his eyes kept falling on the woman riding a horse behind Chu Ning.

Chu Ning has become accustomed to his highness's obliviousness. He was not like this originally. His highness has changed since he recognized General Li.

Chu Wangchen didn't care what Chu Ning was thinking, he had already driven his horse to Li Youwei with a smile.

"General Li, let's go into the city."

"Okay." Li Youwei looked back at Chu Wangchen calmly, with no waves in his eyes.

Chu Wangchen sighed silently in his heart. It seemed that he had to keep up his efforts. The previous offensive of love letters and gifts seemed to be useless.

Li Youwei and Chu Wangchen rode horses side by side toward the city. When they passed the carriage, the person in the carriage walked out. It was Gongsun Qiao, the monarch of Anping.

When she saw Li Youwei, her eyes immediately lit up.

"General Li, welcome to our city."

"Thank you, Princess Anping."

"You're welcome, General Li. Please come inside."

Gongsun Qiao stopped riding in the car, got on her horse, and followed Li Youwei and Chu Wangchen into the city.

The place where the envoys from Nanchen Kingdom stayed had been prepared for a long time, and it was right next to the Prince's Mansion. Chu Wangchen's intention to get closer to the water was very obvious.

Gongsun Qiao was very disdainful of this. It was really shameful for a grown man to resort to such tactics.

"General Li, ahem, my father has not been feeling well recently. We will make up for the reception banquet in a few days. Today, I will receive the reception for you at the Prince's Mansion. How about it?"

The envoy from Nanchen Kingdom came all the way, but Emperor Dongzhou claimed that he was ill and had not seen him. He did not know whether he did not want to marry or wanted to give Li Youwei and others a disgrace.

Gongsun Qiao was afraid that Li Youwei would think too much, so he explained.

"You are really sick. I went to the palace to see you yesterday."

"Okay, everything will follow Prince Wangchen's arrangements."

Although Li Youwei had just arrived in Dongzhou Kingdom, he smelled something unusual. It seemed that the royal family of Dongzhou Kingdom was not at peace.

After a tiring journey, Li Youwei took people back to his residence to freshen up, and then attended the reception banquet held by the Prince's Mansion in the evening.

Gongsun Qiao did not return to her princess's mansion, but followed her to the prince's mansion.

"Cousin Prince, is my uncle's sudden illness related to the Queen?"

The Queen of Dongzhou Kingdom, Murong Defeng, was the eldest daughter of the current general who ruled the country, and the biological mother of the deposed prince.

This queen had great skills and a deep chest. She was indispensable for Emperor Dongzhou's ascension to the throne.

The deposed prince will be deposed because he is too stupid.

Chu Wangchen fed the food in his hand to a homing pigeon before replying slowly.

"The queen wants Dongzhou Kingdom and Nanchen Kingdom to be at odds with each other, so she can take advantage of the chaos and take back the crown prince's position."

Gongsun Qiao raised her hand and touched the wings of the carrier pigeon, secretly complaining in her heart that her prince cousin raised the carrier pigeon that flew to Nanchen so well, probably to better send him love letters.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Qiao couldn't help but sigh, Chu Wangchen really planned everything in order to get someone. "Cousin Prince, what do you think, do you want me to get married?

I don't want to embarrass Li Youwei, but I really don't want to marry Huangfu Chenyang. "

When Gongsun Qiao went to Nanchen Kingdom, she didn't like Huangfu Chenyang. What's more, he now had so many concubines in the harem, so she didn't want to marry him.

"You have to go."

Although Gongsun Qiao is not a princess, Emperor Dongzhou loves her even more than the royal princess, so she has greater responsibilities.

Gongsun Qiao shrugged and did not continue to shirk.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Well, let's go down."

Gongsun Qiao raised her eyebrows. Her princely cousin really didn't have much patience with her. Fortunately, she liked her before. Alas, he was blind.

Gongsun Qiao said goodbye and took his maid to prepare for tonight's reception banquet.

The maid Xiaokui couldn't help but feel sorry for her master, "Princess, you like His Highness the Crown Prince so much, how could he treat you like this?"

Xiaokui grew up with Gongsun Qiao, and no one understood her master's thoughts better than her.

"Stop, stop it. Don't say this again. I just liked him before, but I don't like him anymore."

Xiaokui looked at her princess distressedly. She thought Gongsun Qiao was hurt, so she said so.

"My lord, I understand. If His Royal Highness misses you, it will be the biggest regret in his life."

Gongsun Qiao nodded with satisfaction, "What you said is very good, but it's not quite right. After all, the person he wants now is better."

Thinking of Li Youwei, Gongsun Qiao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She must be even more powerful after not seeing her for several years.

Although Xiaokui didn't quite understand what her master meant, she just had to remember that everything his master said was right.

Soon at night, Chu Wangchen went to personally invite Li Youwei and others.

"General Li, please take a seat." Chu Ning led Li Youwei to sit on the lower left side of the main seat.

"Thank you."

Li Youwei took his seat, and the reception banquet officially began.

Chu Wangchen ordered people to serve the dishes. More than thirty dishes were placed on the table.

If the low table hadn't been able to accommodate it, there would probably have been more.

Li Youwei took a look at the dishes on the table and found that they were all her favorites.

Chu Wangchen coughed slightly and said, "General Li, try how the food tastes. If it doesn't suit your taste, I'll ask the kitchen to make it again."

"Prince Wangchen, don't bother. These dishes are very good and I like them all."

"That's good."

Logically speaking, it should start with drinking, but Chu Wangchen was afraid that drinking on an empty stomach would not be good, so he asked Li Youwei to eat the food first, which was quite considerate.

While Gongsun Qiao was cursing in her heart, she also had to admit that Chu Wangchen was quite careful in pursuing girls.

After thirty years of drinking and five flavors of food, Gongsun Qiao asked the dancer waiting below to come up and perform.

Many of the dancers here were selected from Nanchen Kingdom.

Chu Wangchen had thousands of words he wanted to say to Li Youwei, but he didn't know how to say them, and in the current situation, there were some things he couldn't say.

After not seeing each other for several years, the girl in his heart had grown into a big girl. Chu Wangchen was both happy and a little sad.

Fortunately, he was able to marry someone back home, but sadly, he didn't grow up with her.
