    My love is more real than the country (one hundred and eighty-four)

    After Zhou Min gave the order, he waved everyone away, and soon someone was preparing hot water to enter the room. Zhou Min got up and walked into the pool alone, diving into the water. She needed to calm down.

    In the mist, Zhou Min’s eyes were slightly closed, her long eyelashes flickering, and her face was a little tired.

    The steam is steaming and the mist is lingering

    Time passed little by little until Mu Xiao Ainai.

    A sound of footsteps came from behind. Eunuch Qin stood aside respectfully and said to Zhou Min, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, “Your Majesty, your things have been packed and you can return to the palace at any time to attend tonight’s state banquet.”

    “Yes. Did Wan Qi say why the banquet was held?” Zhou Min asked, because her arrival forced some people to change some things, causing some changes in the trajectory, so things happened that were not in the client’s memory.

    This banquet does not exist in the memory of the client.

    “Your Majesty, the princes of the neighboring Shu Kingdom and the Xuanyang Kingdom came to Zhou with their envoys this time. They all came to thank the Zhou Kingdom for its assistance to the people of all countries equally when the natural disaster struck.”

    “Is it that simple?” Zhou Min asked in a high tone of disbelief.

    Eunuch Qin’s face darkened, “The third prince also brought a letter of credence for the marriage!”

    “Marriage?!” Zhou Min was surprised, “With whom? Who does he like?”

    “The third prince, Mu Yu, proposes to marry Li Huan, the Minister of Household Affairs, as his royal concubine.”

    “…Ha, his wishful thinking is pretty good!” Zhou Min sneered, “Just an empty post of idle concubine, and he wants to replace me, a second-grade minister of household affairs, who is the mainstay of managing the world’s granary! ”

    “Da Sima said that if your majesty is willing to marry Li Huan to the Kingdom of Shu, the Kingdom of Shu is willing to give five cities as a betrothal gift, treat Zhou as his brother, and form a kingdom of brothers forever.” Eunuch Qin continued to throw bombs.

    Zhou Min turned his eyes in surprise, “For Li Huan?!”

    “…Yes…it said that Mu Yu fell in love with Li Huan at first sight.” Eunuch Qin knew what Zhou Min was surprised about, because he was also so surprised when Wan Qi told him.

    “You go out, leave me alone, and come back later.” After Zhou Min sent Eunuch Qin away, he sat quietly in the pool, thinking about the weird reason for petitioning the Shu Kingdom. What was the purpose of giving up his territory for a woman?What is the purpose of their marriage?!

    Five cities are definitely not small for a country!Trading five cities for one woman is definitely a luxury, and the king of neighboring Shu is not stupid either. Why should he trade five cities for Li Huan?!

    Zhou Min always felt that there was some conspiracy that she didn’t know about.

    Why, it must be Li Huan!?

    After the water in the pool became colder and colder, she softly called for someone and walked out of the bathroom calmly, and Eunuch Qin immediately helped her get dressed.

    By the time the Queen’s majestic ceremonial guards were marching from the palace to the palace, night had quietly fallen and the moon was rising in the west. Zhou Min’s ceremonial guards were speeding up as everyone waited eagerly.

    In the night, the gorgeous chariots drove slowly but steadily through the thick dark night fog. The mighty team drove quickly in the wind and fire under the protection of thousands of imperial guards. The sound of cold weapons and horse hooves galloped towards the palace gate in the night and moon. Zhou Min opened the curtain and looked from a distance. There, Yan Sui was bathing in the moonlight alone…

    The two people looked at each other across a thousand people, with only the other’s figure in sight, but each was in a trance for a moment.

    You came facing the colorful palace lanterns, and when you looked at me, you brought all the hope in the world…

    When you stood in the clear frost and moonlight, waiting for me, you looked like I have known you for thousands of years…

    In the Jinluan Hall of the imperial palace, hundreds of civil and military officials, headed by Zhou Yuan, were singing, dancing, and drinking wine. The light of wine and lamps illuminated people’s hearts. Wan Qi had to help Zhou Min check and balance Zhou Yuan during the banquet, so she could not wait for Zhou Min at the palace gate. Since she was a guest from afar, she couldn’t let the guest wait for the host. Therefore, in the end, Yan Sui had to wait at the palace gate.

    In front of the hall, there is a tall glazed screen door with auspicious phoenix and longevity patterns. The ceiling is made of limestone and gilded with dragons on the front. The walls are painted with golden dragons and seals. Above there are jade steps with relief clouds and dragon patterns. However, there is no empty seat on the supreme throne of heaven and earth.

    The two prime ministers on the left and right were chatting and laughing, and the host and guest were having a good time drinking and chatting with the third prince of the Shu Kingdom and the prince of the Xuanyang Kingdom who were sitting high up.

    Mu Yu was smiling at this time, squinting his eyes like a hunter and looking at everyone in the hall.The Queen didn’t come… He heard news that the Queen was seriously injured. I wonder if it was true or not?If it is true, it might not be a bad thing for him.

    He led a delegation to visit this time. Although he came with the promise of marriage, in the end, Xiang Zhuang danced his sword with Pei Gong in mind.His purpose was to let Xuanyang go to war with Zhou.

    However, the acquaintance with Zhou Min in the Great Buddha Temple gave Mu Yu a new understanding of the rumors about the queen of Zhou State, or in other words, not only the queen, but also the sage Zhou Yuan.

    Mu Yu turned to glance at the empty dragon chair and Zhou Yuan, who was dressed in white and pretending to be refreshing, from the corner of her eyes.

    Mu Yu had a vague feeling that the prince, who had been absent-minded since the start of the banquet, seemed a little anxious and waiting for something from time to time. It seemed that the prince was distracted from time to time.

    It wasn’t until someone said something in his ear that he breathed a sigh of relief, regained his smile, and waved people off.

    Mu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the wine glass, raised his head, and raised the corners of his mouth.

    interesting!

    When did anyone allow Zhou Yuan to be so emotionally involved?!

    While deep in thought, he heard Eunuch Qin’s voice outside the palace shouting, “The Queen is here, Master Yan is here!”

    A shout came out.There was talk, noise, and drumming.The laughter stopped abruptly.

    It’s not surprising that the Queen is here!Mr. Yan needs to think about it if he sings the report with the Queen at this time!This Lord Yan has an extraordinary status and status!

    The people of the Zhou Kingdom understood this in their hearts, but the people of the neighboring Shu and Xuanyang Kingdoms were very curious and turned their heads to look outside the main hall.

    A girl in a bright yellow dragon robe held hands with a young man in white, and came gracefully. The two figures were the same, and their bodies seemed to be illuminated by the cold and hazy moonlight silhouette outside the palace at the same time. They walked on the moon in the cold, and looked magnificent.

    Yan Sui raised his head, and the beautiful faces of the male and female models still made everyone in the Bishu and Xuanyang Kingdoms stunned. Even Zhou Min, the leader of the country on the side, became a foil.

    I agree with that sentence, both appearance and appearance are righteous!It’s the same everywhere.

    Zhou Min twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, pulled Yan Sui behind him, straightened his chest, and continued walking forward with his head held high.

    After everyone came to their senses, they knelt down and said, “Long live our emperor.”

    “Long live the Queen”

    “Long live the Queen!”

    While paying respects, Zhou Min led Yan Sui to the dragon chair. She sat down, but Yan Sui was not willing to sit on the dragon chair with her. He still didn’t want to sit on the dragon chair with her after saying goodbye. Zhou Min didn’t know what Yan Sui was thinking, so he could only ask Eunuch Qin to arrange for extra chairs to be placed on the side of the dragon chair.

    As for Rong Qingyu, since he entered the palace, he has been following Zhou Min at a close distance. He is jealous that Yan Sui can be closely linked with Zhou Min, and envies that Yan Sui can keep pace with Zhou Min, but he can only follow her and watch their backs…

    Zhou Min sat on the dragon chair, looking down at everyone and at these people with malicious intentions.

    Mu Yu from the neighboring Shu Kingdom and Li Shixuan from the Xuanyang Kingdom are not objects in the pool.

    Both of them are handsome, with sharp eyes like eagles. The former has sinister eyes, while the latter’s eyes are full of madness. If they were to be described as an animal, Mu Yu would be a jackal and Li Shixuan would be a cheetah.

    They are all a group of indifferent and attractive beasts. Although they tried their best to hide their inner desires, after seeing the prosperity of Zhou Kingdom, their inner greed still spread crazily.

    The desire for desire and power in their eyes and their obsession with royal power make their desire to open up vast territories still exposed.

    These men will not be worry-free in the future!

    Out of the courtesy of the queen, Zhou Min raised the corners of her lips and smiled at Mu Yu and Li Shixuan. However, she found interestingly that the wine glass in Mu Yu’s hand was frozen to her lips.

    While looking at Mu Yu, Mu Yu was slightly stunned, then raised his glass and said, “Dear Queen, hello. You seem to be different from the legend.”

    “Oh~, what do I look like in the legend? With three heads and six arms, or am I extremely ugly?” Zhou Min joked with a chuckle.

    Seeing Zhou Min smiling at Mu Yu, Yan Sui, who was sitting next to him, his eyes darkened and his hands under his long sleeves tightened slightly.

    Ruan Haoyu, who had been standing in the corner of the ministers, his eyes were obsessed with Zhou Min when he saw Zhou Min leading Yan Sui, Rong Qingyu and others into the palace. When he saw her smiling at Mu Yu, he was jealous and envious, angry and amazed, sad and felt ridiculous.

    Rong Qingyu glanced back and forth at Zhou Min, Yan Sui, Mu Yu and others, smiled bitterly, and finally withdrew, standing quietly in the corner.

    When Mu Yu picked up the wine glass and pretended to drink, a messenger next to him immediately said, “Hahaha, looking at the Queen, she doesn’t seem to be faceless. The rumors are unbelievable! The Queen is even more delicate, like my charming daughter from neighboring Shu…”

    The faces of the people below changed. A smile flashed in Mu Yu’s eyes and she immediately returned to anger. She pretended to admonish the envoy behind her, “How dare you! Is there any comparison between the Queen and my charming daughter from neighboring Shu Kingdom?”

    There is nothing wrong with the words, but they still feel harsh.

    Is it that the Queen cannot compare with the charming girls from neighboring Shu Kingdom, or is it that the charming girls from neighboring Shu Kingdom are not worthy to compare with the Queen?No matter which one it is, it is an insult to compare the supreme queen of the Zhou Kingdom with those unworthy women of the neighboring Shu Kingdom.

    “There is no comparison. Yinghuo and Sunrise are not the same.” Yan Sui spoke up and looked up at Mu Yu, “The third prince asked five cities to marry Mr. Li Huan, the Minister of Household Affairs of our country. This shows that Mr. Li Huan has deep feelings for the third highness. I wonder if the third highness has asked Prince Shixuan what he wants. After all, this is not something that our Zhou family has decided with a nod.”

    Yan Sui’s words silenced the entire hall for an instant. Li Shixuan, who was watching the show, suddenly looked at Mu Yu, and then at Yan Sui, “What do you mean?!”

    Mu Yu didn’t expect Yan Sui to do this, so he tightened the wine glass in his palm. Thinking that Li Huan was Zhou Yuan’s, and thinking of the relationship between Zhou Yuan and him, Mu Yu’s frown relaxed slightly. He looked at Yan Sui and Li Shixuan who were looking at him coldly, smiled, and put down the wine glass, “I was originallyI wanted to tell Yu Shixuan the good news after the certificate of credence came out.I fell in love with Yu Huanmei at first sight, so after this natural disaster, I used the letter of credence to get married. Firstly, we will become brothers with Shu and Zhou; secondly, Zhou will also be able to show the tolerance of a big country to small countries like us.”

    Zhou Min didn’t say anything, or in other words, ever since Yan Sui deliberately spoke up to defend her, she had held her chin obediently, sitting on the dragon chair and looking at him and Yan Sui with a smile, looking at everyone in the hall with gentle eyes and cold eyes.
