Shen Mi was too lazy to pay attention to her. She didn't want to compete with these women for jealousy.

Most importantly, she was disdainful of marrying a prince of Northern Qi.

But the woman behind her refused to give in and kept poking her in the back.

"Ji Yin, did you hear that?"

"I'm asking you a question, did you hear me?"

Finally, unable to bear the poking any longer, Shen Mi turned around and looked at Jiang Nanxin quietly.

"You talk too much. I should tell you to shut up."

As he spoke, a small black bug crawled out from Shen Mi's sleeve and went straight to Jiang Nanxin's wrist.

Jiang Nanxin screamed in fright, and Shen Mi immediately reached out and covered her mouth tightly.

"If you don't want to be bitten by bugs, you'd better keep your mouth shut."

"If you poke me from behind again, this bug will bite off your flesh inch by inch."

After Shen Mi finished speaking, she moved her hand away.

Jiang Nanxin was frightened and panicked. After watching the bug on her wrist crawl away, she looked at Shen Mi with strange eyes.

"Ji Yin, you witch."

"If you dare to hurt me, my father will not forgive you."

Shen Mi didn't want to pay attention to her. After all, this Prime Minister had some friendship with Prime Minister Ji and others.

After everyone sat down, Shen Mi saw Pei Rou and Prime Minister Ji coming soon.

Pei Rou walked to the women's seat and sat down next to Shen Mi.

She whispered in front of Shen Mi: "Mi'er."

"Your uncle means that if someone asks you to go to the harem tonight, don't go."

Shen Mi frowned: "Aunt, what happened?"

Pei Rou said: "That dog emperor has begun to suspect that the scar on your face is fake."

Shen Mi said calmly: "It's okay, I know what to do."

"When an enemy comes, we must fight him; when a flood comes, we must block it with earth. In the end, we must face it head-on."

Pei Rou sighed deeply: "I just hope nothing happens tonight."

Shen Mi looked at the person coming in from outside the hall with serious eyes.

The ladies and young ladies were all dressed up.

It seems that the Northern Qi was really powerful, which attracted these women to want to marry there.

Not long after, Emperor Li came with two princesses, but did not see the Queen.

It is said that the queen found a number of high monks, who performed rituals to catch ghosts in the palace for several days, but in the end they failed to catch any.

I guess he was very scared and didn't dare to come out.

As Emperor Li sat down in the most honorable seat, he glanced at Shen Mi again.

His gaze made Shen Mi feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Di now suspects that her scar is fake, and who knows what trouble will happen tonight.

Shen Mi's goal tonight is to find a way to save the life of the little Princess Beili.

After a while, a eunuch's voice came from outside the hall.

"The Second and Third Princes of Northern Qi have arrived!"

Everyone looked outside the hall and saw a group of people coming in.

The two leaders wore half a silver mask, revealing the lower half of their faces.

A man wearing a crimson blue brocade robe and holding a folding fan in his hand looked very elegant.

The other man was tall and slender.

He was wearing a black dragon robe with auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs and a black sash tied around his waist, which showed his slim figure.

She had a Ruyi jade pendant hanging around her waist, wore half a mask, and had long silver hair draped over her shoulders.

The aura around him was cold and oppressive.

You can vaguely see the silver armored little finger on the man's right hand.

As the man approached, Shen Mi's eyes fell on the man's silver iron armored little finger, and her heart tightened for a moment.

Even though he was wearing a mask, you could still see the Ruyi jade pendant on his waist and the silver armor on his little finger.

Shen Mi was sure that he was Murong Che.

Three years.

Even if his hair has turned white, how can she forget his back?

The Fourth Master actually came to Li State, and he was posing as a Northern Qi person.

Shen Mi was wearing a veil, and when she raised her eyes, she met the man's deep eyes under the mask.

Shen Mi lowered his head, his whole body frozen in place.

The Fourth Master’s hair.

It's really all white.

"Mi'er, what's wrong with you?" Pei Rou, who was beside her, saw that her face was not right and asked.

Shen Mi shook her head: "Aunt, nothing?"

Pei Rou looked at the two people in the center of the hall: "Could it be that you know them?"

Shen Mi didn't respond to her directly, but just nodded.

"Do you really know him?"

Pei Rou's eyes lit up: "Could it be? Is it..."

Her words stopped abruptly and she turned back to look at Shen Mi.

"Mi'er, could it be that he is here?"

Shen Mi took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

Pei Rou said: "It really is him."

Several people walked to the center of the hall and saluted Emperor Li using the Northern Qi etiquette.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor Li."

Emperor Li curled his lips slightly, looked at the people below, and then said with a smile: "The Prince of Northern Qi is polite."

"We have been defeated in this war, and we are willing to accept your proposal from Northern Qi to seek peace through marriage."

"I heard that the Northern Qi prince does not want to choose a marriage partner from the royal family. I will wait and see who will catch your eye."

"You are tired from the journey, please take a seat."

After Murong Che and Shi Yanqing sat down in the assigned seats, some noble ladies around them began to whisper to each other.

"How come one of the Northern Qi princes has silver-white hair?"

"However, just looking at this posture and the half of the face that is exposed, he has an extraordinary temperament."

"Northern Qi is powerful. If I could marry into the Northern Qi royal family, I would be very blessed."

"I don't know who this Northern Qi prince has his eyes on."

As the sound of ritual music sounded, Shen Mi held the teacup and drank tea quietly, then she noticed a pair of eyes looking quietly in her direction.

Now at the palace banquet, even when she was facing the person she had been thinking about day and night, she had to suppress her emotions.

Sitting as an envoy, Shi Yanqing held a teacup and glanced at the faces of everyone in the hall, but did not see the person he wanted to see.

But I saw Shen Mi.

He whispered to Murong Che: "Master, your wife seems to be more eye-catching than before."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at you. Now you are out of reach."

Murong Che glanced at him sideways, and Shi Yanqing immediately shut up.

Shi Yanqing continued: "What a pity, it seems that the Emperor Li's eyes have also fallen on Shen Mi."

"If you don't believe me, take a look."

Murong Che looked up and saw Emperor Li sitting on a high seat, holding a glass of wine, his eyes vaguely glancing towards Shen Mi.

He clenched his fists.

Murong Che said coldly: "If he dares to touch her, I will kill him."

Shi Yanqing continued: "This Emperor Li has never been able to let go of the deceased Empress Pei. I heard that all the concubines in the harem are looking for concubines who look like Empress Pei."

"I think it's because he saw that Shen Mi looked like Pei Wan, so he got lustful."

"But why are you wearing a veil, my young wife?"

Murong Che said in a deep voice: "She must have noticed the Emperor Li's intention and just covered her face on purpose."

There was singing and dancing in the hall, and after song and dance one after another ended.

Emperor Li raised his glass and looked at Murong Che and Shi Yanqing.

"I wonder if the Second Prince and the Third Prince have found someone they like this time?"

"This time, I asked all the noble ladies in Kyoto to come."

"The women of our country are as good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs as you are in Northern Qi."

Shi Yan raised his cup and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, besides this Liguo woman, do you have women from other countries in Kyoto?"

"I heard that Beili's little princess Xiao Zhiqing is extremely beautiful and charming. I would like to see her today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Li burst into laughter.

"Today, you are here to welcome the prince of Northern Qi. How can I miss the opportunity to let you see my beauty?"

"I have already prepared it."

"Bring it in."
