The daughter of the first wife is a black lotus, reborn and remarried to kill

Shen Changyun frowned slightly, "You mean..."

"Now it depends on whether my bet is right or not," Li Qingqian raised her eyebrows, "Beiyuan has its own writing system, and they may not understand Dawei culture. If Huairong is really that favored, as long as Dawei writing appears, the people who check it may not be suspicious."

"But what if it's exposed?"

"Easy to handle," Li Qingqian snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "When the time comes, my snakes, eagles, and scorpions will all come out and bite them to death. I guarantee that the news will not be reported to the palace and Huairong will not be implicated."

Shen Changyun curled the corner of his mouth. OK, so it turns out that this is the strategy of using courtesy before force.

Either they give it and everything will be fine; or they will never speak again.

Li Qingqian sighed and said, "Yunlang, do you think I am being cruel? After all, they are only responsible for inspection."

Although she asked this, there was no trace of pity in her eyes, but rather indifference towards the people of Beiyuan.

Why would Shen Changyun think of her like this?

Dawei and Bei originally had an unspoken feud. Although they seemed to be on good terms with each other over the years, it was no secret that they each had their own ulterior motives.

Besides, any Dawei person with memory will never forget the trick that Beiyuan used on Dawei back then.

Why can others do those things but Qianqian can’t?

The game and conspiracy between countries are never clean and honest. It all depends on how vicious their methods are. Otherwise, they can only wait for death.

Li Qingqian was already very tolerant having taken Jiang Huairong's situation into consideration. As for those Beiyuan people, no one in Dawei cared about their life or death.

He squatted in front of Li Qingqian, and joked with a smile: "If I dare to say anything bad about you, I will not even hold my coming-of-age ceremony. Your snakes, eagles, and scorpions will come out and bite me to death right now."

Li Qingqian chuckled, "That's not the case. At least you have to live until my child can call you dad."

Shen Changyun immediately became excited, "Of course, my child can only call me father."

The people checking the passes looked at the contents of the paper again and again and looked at each other in confusion.

In Kitahara dialect, "It's the invitation from Her Majesty the Queen."

"But without the Queen's seal, according to the rules, we can't let him go."

"Are you crazy? Last time, someone disrespected the queen and said that she was from Dawei and was not worthy of being the queen. The king ordered that someone be thrown into the icy lake and froze to death."

"I think he is the captain of the guard who has been with the king for ten years? Ever since that incident, the king has issued an order that even if the queen wants to kill him with a knife one day, no one in Beiyuan can stop her."

After discussing for a while, they decided to let Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun pass.

The two figures walked further and further away.

They began to murmur again:

"Those two people look a bit like people from the Central Plains?"

"Did the king allow her to come to Beiyuan because he was worried that the queen would be lonely in the palace?"

One of them said angrily, "The king is too indulgent to the queen. That woman was originally a princess who was spoiled in Dawei. Now he allows her to be willful and domineering in the palace. She wants the stars and the moon. Where is the face of our Beiyuan?"

They have always been suppressed by Dawei, and they are very unhappy in their hearts. Now there is a legendary powerful mysterious force, and it wants to worship the princess from Central Plains like a treasure. What is this?

The new king had been on the throne for several years. Not to mention the numerous concubines in the palace, even the most indispensable position of queen had been vacant until Princess Dawei came and was made queen.

I originally thought that this was a good opportunity to dampen Dawei's arrogance. As long as there was no queen, Princess Dawei's identity would be embarrassing.

Now, the people of Dawei have been made to think that Beiyuan will continue to be inferior to them.

It doesn't seem that the king is a man obsessed with beauty. How come Princess Dawei was made queen less than half a month after she arrived?

What's even more outrageous is that not long after she was made queen, the king had already spoiled her to the point that no one in heaven or on earth dared to disobey the queen.

I haven't heard that the queen has an heir either. But recently there have been reports from the palace that the king, in order to please the queen, even bent down to serve as her mount and played house with her in the style of the Central Plains.

It's ridiculous, really ridiculous!

"Do you know what's even more ridiculous?" the man who just checked the letter said disdainfully, "The king actually wanted to build a palace in the style of a great tower for the queen. After being advised not to take this opportunity to increase taxes, he still stubbornly said, 'I don't want money from the people, I will take it from my own private treasury.'"

The other people were so angry that they laughed.

"What kind of demon is Princess Dawei? She has bewitched the king!"

In the Beiyuan Palace.

King Qi Guanyan held a jade tablet and a piece of paper, pondered the words on them, and walked into Jiang Huairong's room.

Jiang Huairong, who was drawing her eyebrows at the moment, saw his figure through the bronze mirror and hummed two words expressionlessly: "Get out."

Qi Guanyan had become accustomed to her indifferent and distant attitude. Instead of leaving, he came closer with a smile and sat down next to Jiang Huairong's dressing mirror.

"This is the Beiyuan Palace. I am the King of Beiyuan. I am in my own queen's room. Why would I want to go out?"

Jiang Huairong glanced at him and turned his attention back to drawing his eyebrows.

Qi Guanyan smiled as he pushed aside the loose hair on her forehead to help her draw her eyebrows. "The queen looks so beautiful today. I really want to give her a kiss."

People from Beiyuan always express their love more directly than Dawei. Although Jiang Huairong is not a conservative person, she does not like Qi Guanyan's intimate behavior.

She dodged and said unhappily, "If you don't have anything to say to me, you can go and do your own thing. Why are you here just thinking about how to make trouble for me?"

Qi Guanyan still said with a playful smile: "How could I intentionally upset the queen? I know the queen misses her hometown very much. I just happened to receive a letter from the Central Plains today, but there are many characters that I don't recognize. The messenger said that this was written by the queen. Are you willing to teach me?"

Jiang Huairong thought this was another trap he had set for himself, so he frowned and said, "I didn't..."

But the next moment, she caught a glimpse of the jade token shaking slightly in Qi Guanyan's other hand. She recognized this jade token!

So he changed the topic and said, "Didn't I teach you the Central Plains characters?"

Qi Guanyan just had a doting smile on his face, "Maybe you have forgotten after so many years. You only taught me how to speak the Central Plains dialect, but never taught me how to write the Central Plains characters."

Jiang Huairong took the letter with a nonchalant expression, "This is just an invitation letter, nothing special. Since they are from my hometown, I want to take them to the palace to stay for a while, is that ok?"

Qi Guanyan was not someone who could be easily fooled. He lifted Jiang Huairong's chin with one finger and said, "The queen knows that if you want me to agree to your conditions, you just need to please me. As for how to do it, the queen also knows."

Jiang Huairong slapped his hand away and continued to draw her eyebrows. "Go lie down on the couch."
