Today's palace banquet was held at the edge of Yun Lake.

The terrain here is spacious and can accommodate many people.

The desks are placed in a circle around them, with an open space in the middle for performing talents.

Emperor Xuande's position is not as high as before. Today he is on the same level as everyone else, but at the top.

There are fruits, wine, and delicious food on the table.

Flowers were blooming all around, the breeze was blowing, and under the warm sun, everyone was laughing and chatting.

Soon, Emperor Xuande arrived with all his concubines.

The queen was still in confinement, and accompanying Emperor Xuande were Concubine Wan and Concubine Rong.

Emperor Xuande sat down and everyone saluted.

After some polite greetings, Emperor Xuande spoke.

"Everyone, welcome to Da Qin. You come with a heart of peace, and we welcome you with a peace of mind. Now Beili and Da Qin have established diplomatic relations. I hope that with our joint efforts, the friendly relations between the two countries will become better and better. Far away, we can develop together and enrich all people together."

Emperor Xuande raised his glass, "This glass of wine is for peace."

Everyone raised their glasses and shouted, "To peace."

After finishing the first glass of wine, Deng Kexian filled the glass with wine. He raised the glass and said politely, "This is my first time coming to Daqin. Daqin is completely different from what I imagined. The people are simple and hospitable." , the food and the beautiful scenery are unforgettable.”

"This glass of wine is a tribute to everyone's warm hospitality to us. I'll drink it first as a token of respect. You can do whatever you want."

Deng Kexian drank all the wine in his glass.

When Emperor Xuande saw that Deng Kexian had finished speaking, Qi Muchuan had no intention of speaking.

He felt vaguely unhappy.

Logically speaking, Beili sent people to send Princess Qingluo to get married. Qi Muchuan was enough, so why did he need to add Deng Kexian.

But during the two meetings, Qi Muchuan acted aloof, but Deng Kexian was polite and courteous, which is what an envoy should be like.

"Master Deng is very polite. If Master Deng likes it, you can stay in Daqin for a while and let people from the Ministry of Rites accompany you to have a good look." Emperor Xuande said.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Seeing Emperor Xuande's politeness, Deng Kexian's tone became more friendly.

Emperor Xuande deliberately picked on Qi Muchuan and asked, "King Li, you have been in Da Qin for two days, are you used to it?"

Qi Muchuan's tone was cold, "I'm traveling far away. Naturally, I can't compare with my family, but it's okay. Fortunately, the emperor's people are attentive, so I can adapt to it."

This naked irony did not take Da Qin seriously at all.

He was sarcastic both inside and outside of his words that Da Qin was not as good as Bei Li.

Emperor Xuande's face changed instantly.

Others present also had anger on their faces. They came to Da Qin's territory, ate Da Qin's rice, drank Da Qin's water, and looked down on Da Qin.

Isn't this provocation?

"Ahem..." Deng Kexian covered his mouth with his fist and coughed violently.

He immediately reminded him, "Your Majesty, although Da Qin's wine is delicious, Cai Chen advised you not to drink too much. Look, you are starting to talk nonsense."

After Deng Kexian finished speaking, Shen Yan spoke up before Qi Muchuan could speak.

"Prince Li, actually you don't have to endure the hardship of traveling to a foreign land."

"Oh, Princess Anping, tell me." Qi Muchuan couldn't help but become interested when he saw Shen Yan taking the initiative to talk to him.

Today was the second time he saw Shen Yan since he met Shen Yan on the street that day.

"You can defeat us, otherwise you won't come." Shen Yan's tone was light, but it was like a stone weighing a thousand kilograms, hitting the ground hard, and a big pit suddenly appeared on the ground.

The stone also hit Qi Muchuan's heart.

In such an occasion, allowing Emperor Xuande to come and argue with Qi Muchuan would simply lose the identity of Emperor Xuande.

However, Shen Yan is different, she is a minister.

If someone insults the country and the people, it must be his ministers who are at the forefront. Emperor Xuande only needs to remain on the throne.

After Shen Yan finished speaking, everyone present except the Beili people felt happy and couldn't help but laugh.

Qi Muchuan's face looked a little ugly, "Princess Anping is a woman, so why do she speak so harshly? Victory and defeat on the battlefield are commonplace for military strategists, and the losing side cannot lose forever."

The winning side cannot always win.

"Listen to Prince Li, are you dissatisfied with the results of the previous war between the two countries?" Shen Yan raised an eyebrow.

Seeing Shen Yan's provocative eyes, Qi Muchuan knew that Shen Yan was really angry.

"Princess Anping, now Beili and Daqin have established a friendly relationship. Our two countries must coexist peacefully."

Qi Muchuan met Shen Yan's gaze, "However, I personally want to invite Princess Anping to have a competition, so that Princess Anping knows that temporary victory or defeat does not mean forever."

He raised the corner of his mouth and his eyes were full of pride, "I wonder if Princess Anping dares to accept the challenge?"

A mere woman, just a little smart, nothing to be afraid of.

"Compared to what?" Shen Yan asked.

"Whatever Princess Anping is good at, we will compete." Qi Muchuan said with a smile.

"I heard that Prince Li's riding and archery skills are unparalleled in Beili. No one can compare with him. Let's compete on riding and archery skills."

Seeing that Shen Yan picked what he was best at, Qi Muchuan looked sarcastic. He really had never seen the world, he was too showy.

Shen Yan could be considered a figure in Da Qin, but in Beili, she was nothing.

"Okay, just like the art of riding and shooting, Princess Anping, today I will let you know what it means to have a sky beyond the sky."

At this time, Emperor Xuande spoke, "The competition is over."

Qi Muchuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Princess Anping is a woman, I will let her do it."

Emperor Xuande said with a smile on his face, "I am talking to Princess Anping."

Qi Muchuan's smile froze instantly, "Then I won't be polite!"

Everyone comes to the school ground.

The palace attendant prepared the target and came back to report to Emperor Xuande, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Emperor Xuande nodded, "Let's get started."

"Wait a minute!" Qi Muchuan looked at everyone and said...
