Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

"That's right, father. In addition, I also suspect that behind these events, there is a suspicion of collusion between the Kingdom of Beiyue and the forces of the Western Regions. What they covet is not only the treasures of the Kingdom of Fengnan, but also the balance of the entire continent." Zhongli Yuan's words revealed deep worry.

The emperor was silent for a moment after hearing this, then he slammed the table and stood up: "Yuan'er, what you said is indeed extraordinary. The appearance of Murong Yao, her attack on you and the emperor's uncle, and the mysterious jade box all reveal an unusual atmosphere. I will immediately order a thorough investigation of this matter! At the same time, I will write a letter to the Kingdom of Beiyue, asking them how they explain this matter!"

"Your Majesty is wise. I am willing to lend a helping hand to find out the truth and restore peace to Fengnan Kingdom." Zhongli Yuan bowed, his eyes flashing with determination.

"In addition," Zhongli Shiyan changed the subject, "tomorrow is the day to hold a banquet for Murong Xue. As the host, you need to make proper arrangements. You must show our royal demeanor and ensure the safety of the banquet. You must not let Murong Yao take advantage of the opportunity."

"I understand, and I will do my best." Zhongli Yuan responded, secretly thinking about how to be more vigilant at the banquet and at the same time entertain Murong Xue well.

After leaving the imperial study, Zhongli Yuan immediately began to arrange the banquet and at the same time assigned additional personnel to monitor Murong Yao's whereabouts.

On the other side, Murong Xue was also preparing for the upcoming banquet. She was both excited and nervous. She was excited to see Zhong Liyuan openly, but she was nervous about the unknown risks that might be hidden behind the banquet. She secretly made up her mind that no matter what happened, she would stay calm and face it together with Zhong Liyuan.

The next day, the palace was brightly lit, and all the civil and military officials sat quietly inside. Zhongli Yuan, dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat at the prince's seat, looking at the civil and military officials below, his eyes occasionally sweeping over everyone present, expecting Murong Xue to appear.

Soon, Zhongli Shiyan also came to the banquet, "Let's start!" Zhongli Shiyan announced.

A soft sound of music was heard, and the court musicians began to play a welcome song, heralding the official start of the banquet.

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Beiyue has arrived!" Soon, the eunuch's loud shout made the banquet suddenly quiet down.

"Your Highness the Crown Princess of Beiyue, when did Beiyue have a Crown Princess? And what is the Crown Princess doing here? Isn't this banquet held to thank the Princess of Beiyue? Maybe the Crown Princess wants to experience the customs of our Fengnan Kingdom." Some whispered discussions were heard at the banquet.

Following the eunuch's loud shouts, a woman dressed in gorgeous North Vietnamese costumes slowly walked into the banquet hall. Her figure looked particularly dazzling under the lights.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that the woman had a beautiful face and extraordinary temperament. It was Murong Xue, but her identity at the moment was that of the princess of Beiyue Kingdom. This sudden change stunned everyone present.

Murong Xue walked lightly, her eyes showing both determination to face unknown challenges and tenderness to Zhong Liyuan. She walked slowly to the center, bowed to Zhong Li Shiyan, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Murong Xue of Beiyue Kingdom greets His Majesty the Emperor of Fengnan Kingdom. May the friendship between the two countries last forever and seek peaceful development together."

Zhongli Shiyan was slightly stunned, then he returned to normal and responded with a smile: "Your Highness the Crown Princess has come from afar, which is a great honor for Fengnan Country. Please take a seat and enjoy the feast together. Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Princess, for saving my son's life. If it weren't for you, Your Highness the Crown Princess, I might not have been able to see my disappointing son."

Murong Xue said to Zhongli Shiyan, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Your Highness the Crown Prince is blessed by heaven. Even without my help, Your Highness the Crown Prince will return safely."

Zhongli Shiyan: "Please take a seat. No matter what, it is a fact that you saved my son. Thank you very much."

Zhongli Shiyan's words were full of gratitude and sincerity. The atmosphere at the banquet became subtle and warm because of this sudden change of identity. All the officials cast curious and admiring glances at her, full of curiosity and respect for this young princess of the Northern Yue Kingdom.

Murong Xue smiled gently and walked gracefully to the seat prepared for her. Her eyes met with Zhong Liyuan from time to time, and the two exchanged warm smiles tacitly. He was surprised and puzzled. He did not expect Murong Xue to appear in such an identity, but he was more worried about her safety. He secretly decided to protect her no matter what and not let any danger get close.

The banquet continued, with singing and dancing, and clinking glasses. However, while the civil and military officials were chatting and laughing, there seemed to be a hint of something unusual in the air.

Zhongli Yuan often gave Murong Xue encouragement and comfort with his eyes, as if telling her that no matter what happened, he would be by her side. And Murong Xue responded with a smile, and that tacit understanding and determination made the surrounding noise seem unimportant.

When the banquet reached its climax, Murong Xue suddenly stood up and said to Zhongli Shiyan: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Fengnan, I came to Fengnan this time not only because of the invitation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Fengnan, but also because I fell in love with His Royal Highness at first sight and wanted to marry His Royal Highness and become the Crown Princess of my Beiyue Kingdom."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire banquet hall fell into silence. Everyone's eyes were focused on Murong Xue and Zhongli Shiyan, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Zhongli Shiyan's face changed slightly. He obviously did not expect Murong Xue to make such a bold request. Zhongli Yuan was shocked, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes - there was both surprise and indescribable joy.

Zhongli Shiyan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, his voice full of dignity and consideration: "Your Highness, marriage is a very serious matter, especially when it comes to the royal families of two countries, so it needs to be carefully considered. Besides, he is the crown prince of our Fengnan Kingdom, and his status is noble. How can he go to the North Yue Kingdom for marriage? Where will the face of our Fengnan Kingdom be put?"

When Murong Xue heard this, a hint of determination and understanding flashed in her eyes. She knew very well that her proposal was indeed unusual, and she also understood Zhongli Shiyan's considerations as the king of a country.

But she did not back down. Instead, she responded with a more sincere attitude: "Your Majesty is right. Marriage is indeed a matter of caution and concerns the reputation of both countries. But please believe that our North Vietnam respects and cherishes His Highness Yuan no less than Fengnan. I, Murong Xue, am willing to put the peace and friendship between our two countries first and personally prove to Your Majesty and Fengnan that His Highness Yuan will not lose his dignity in North Vietnam, but will gain unprecedented respect and love. I swear that I will only marry His Highness Yuan in this life and will never let him down."
