When the Alluring Queen Opened Her Eyes, All the Kings in the World Knelt Down

Chapter 54: Be on Guard Against Others

Yan Li and the other three were quickly taken into the flower hall where the ladies were. They arrived a little late. Several women had already arrived in the hall. In addition to Mu Yun, Mu Yunzhu and Song Yingxue, there was also a girl who looked very heroic. .

Princess Muya sat in the main seat, and the other four people sat on the left seat, led by Mu Yunzhu, followed by Mu Yun and the heroic woman, and finally Song Yingxue.

The seat on the right is not occupied yet.

The women were drinking tea and chatting, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

The arrival of Yan Li and Jiang Jingyue caused the laughter in the flower hall to stop abruptly. The five people turned to look at Yan Li and Jiang Jingyue in unison.

The air was stagnant for a moment.

"Princess Nanyang is here." A flash of coldness flashed across Mu Ya's eyes quickly, and then she stood up and walked towards Yan Li with a smile on her face, "Sit down quickly, everyone is waiting for you."

She was too enthusiastic about Yan Li, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened, and it made Jiang Jingyue and Shen Huifu look like foils.

But Jiang Jingyue didn't care, because she knew Yan Li had no good fruits to eat today.

Mu Ya's enthusiasm for her was hidden in her smile. Did she really think that she was sincerely apologizing to her?

Yan Li walked into the flower hall calmly.

Mu Yunzhu still looked aloof and aloof, with disdain in his eyes.

"Mu Ya apologizes to you, but I won't." Mu Yun snorted coldly, with a tone full of hostility, "Yan Li, you kicked me into the lake and almost drowned me. Sooner or later, I will settle the matter with you. "

Yan Li sat down on the first seat on the right - the position specially arranged for her by Mu Ya.

After sitting down, she casually raised her eyes and glanced at Mu Yun: "Teach me anytime."

Mu Yun had a sullen face, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Jingyue sat under Yan Li, followed by Shen Huifu.

"This is the granddaughter of the Protector, Ling Ning." Mu Ya raised her finger and pointed at the unfamiliar girl and introduced to Yan Li, "The Protector's residence belongs to a family of military generals from the Mu Kingdom. Three generations of ancestors and grandchildren guarded the border and blocked the border. He served as a member of the Jin Kingdom’s cavalry with outstanding achievements and loyalty.”

After finishing speaking, he added: "Although Ling Ning is a woman, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her skills are no weaker than those of her brothers."

Ling Ning nodded: "I have met Princess Nanyang."

"Miss Ling, there is no need to be polite." Yan Li said calmly, "I have always admired military generals. The Protector and the Ninth Prince are both great figures."

There are nine kingdoms in the world: the Southern Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, the Mu Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, the Northern Territory, the Chu Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom, the Zhao Kingdom, and the Yong Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Mu is adjacent to the Kingdom of Zhao to the east, the Kingdom of Jin to the west, and Northern Xinjiang to the north. The Kingdom of Jin is in the northwest of the Kingdom of Mu. Due to the terrain and water and soil conditions, most people from the Jin Kingdom and Northern Xinjiang are good at riding and shooting. They raise their war horses well and have the greatest ambitions. .

Zhao State is weaker, peace-loving, and does not like to participate in wars.

The Southern Kingdom is the strongest, but due to the change of imperial power, it has not paid much attention to the affairs of other countries in recent years. No one dares to provoke the Southern Kingdom's troops anyway.

Among the nine kingdoms, Jin Kingdom and Northern Xinjiang danced the most happily. They repeatedly sent troops to provoke and tried to seize the rich cities of Mu Kingdom.

However, in those years, military generals emerged in large numbers in the Protector's Palace. In recent years, the Nine Gods of War have appeared. One guarded the northwest to deal with the Jin Kingdom, and the other fought against the Northern Xinjiang. They defeated the Jin Kingdom and Northern Xinjiang. In the past three years, the military losses were heavy. This Only then did they dispel their wild ambitions.

Yan Li looked at the girl Ling in front of her. She had the air of a woman from a family of military commanders who was neither humble nor arrogant. She felt out of place when she was with Mu Ya, Mu Yun, Song Yingxue and the like.

However, Yan Li knew in his heart that whether it was civil servants or generals, when the princes competed for the crown prince, there would inevitably be some tilt. Is the Protector's Palace a pure royalist, or is it leaning towards which prince?

When Ling Ning appeared here today, was she simply invited to enjoy the flowers, or did she have some other purpose?

"I invited Princess Nanyang here today to make amends." Mu Ya picked up the teacup in front of her and raised it towards Yan Li, "I was the first to speak harshly and rudely at the Gu family, and my mother gave me a harsh lesson when I came back. I know very well that my daughter’s family should be well-educated and well-educated, and should not be rude to Princess Nanyang. Today I specially held a banquet to apologize to the princess. I hope that the princess will forgive me this time. "

Yan Li listened to her expressionlessly and said calmly: "If you sincerely apologize, I will naturally accept it."

Mu Ya's expression changed slightly and she smiled unnaturally: "Of course I sincerely apologize, otherwise why would I go to such trouble to set up this flower viewing party today and ask them to testify for me?"

Yan Li did not comment, he picked up the tea cup and put it to his lips, closing his eyes and sniffing the smell of the tea.

A faint wisp of strange fragrance penetrated her nose. Yan Li smacked it coldly and put down the teacup expressionlessly.

"What's wrong?" Mu Ya stared at Yan Li's movements, a dark look flashed across her eyes unconsciously, "The tea is not to the princess's taste?"

"No." Yan Li raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said in a casual voice, "I just suddenly remembered something."

"What's up?"

"The Ninth Prince said that it is essential to be on guard against others." Yan Li's tone was indifferent, and she could not hear any emotional fluctuations. "A woman should know how to protect herself at all times when she goes out."

Mu Ya tightened her fingers on the teacup, and then laughed dryly: "With so many noble ladies here today, is it possible that I will hurt you again?"

"Just tell me if you're afraid of death." Mu Yun scorned, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp, "I have already drank two cups of tea, why don't you just sit here? Your life is precious. ?”

Yan Li raised his eyes: "In that case, did you drink the cup in front of me?"

Mu Ya's expression changed.

"You're sick." Mu Yun sneered angrily, "Do I want to drink your tea?"

Ling Ning looked at the cup of tea in front of Yan Li thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Cousin." Jiang Jingyue frowned, "Princess Mu Ya is of noble status. Since she sincerely apologized to you today, don't make things difficult for her. Isn't it just a cup of tea? Princess Mu Ya drank it herself, you should at least give her face."

Yan Li turned her head: "How about cousin drink it for me?"

"I..."ŴŴŴ.

"Yan Li, Mu Ya is sincerely apologizing to you, don't be ungrateful!" Mu Yunzhu said coldly, "She apologized to you in front of so many people, but you didn't even drink the tea, deliberately putting on airs to embarrass her?"

"Is the eighth princess standing up for Princess Mu Ya?" Yan Li raised his eyebrows, "Did I force her to apologize?"

"You——"

"Okay, okay." Mu Ya hurriedly stopped him, fearing that the fight would get awkward and Yan Li would be angry and leave, "If you don't want to drink it, then don't drink it. Let's chat and go to the garden later to walk and appreciate the flowers. There's no need to be so hostile."
