Ye Qi ordered five imperial guards to escort the ninth prince, the prime minister and several officials from the Ministry of Rites out of the palace.

The welcoming guard crossed the imperial road and headed south.

Arriving outside the city gate, a group of light riders were waiting there quietly.

The leading woman sat on a red horse. She should be more than 30 years old, but her appearance was well maintained, and she looked beautiful and noble.

She was graceful in a blue dress, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of fiery style.

The four riders behind her were all young men, all dressed in brocade and jade robes, with handsome and outstanding appearance. At first glance, you can tell that they are either rich or noble.

In front of the silent envoy's carriage, a "Jin" word fluttered in the wind, and the atmosphere was majestic and solemn.

The carriage was getting closer and closer, and when the distance between the two sides was close enough to see the appearance of the leading woman clearly.

Prime Minister Gu's pupils shrank slightly, and his face showed clear surprise and disbelief: "Jiang... Jiang Yi?"

The Minister of Rites and several officials were also stunned on the spot.

Several eyes fell on the face of the Queen of Jin in shock - the same face as Jiang Yi, the daughter of the Jiang family who had ruined the family reputation and died of dystocia more than a dozen years ago.

But her demeanor was a little more cold and arrogant than more than a dozen years ago.

This, how can this be combined?

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still remember me?" Jiang Yi smiled gently on the seat, her eyebrows and eyes full of elegance, "At the beginning, you were still the Minister of Personnel. I didn't expect that more than a dozen years later, you are now the prime minister of a country. It's really a cause for celebration."

It's really her!

Prime Minister Gu was unable to react for a moment, "You... you are not..."

"Not what?" Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows, and a cold look appeared in his eyes, "Prime Minister Gu wants to insult the reputation of the Queen of Jin?"

Prime Minister Gu's heart sank, the Queen of Jin.

Even if the woman in front of him is really Jiang Yi, her current status is not something we can treat lightly.

But, does the emperor know about this?

More than a dozen years ago, Jiang Yi eloped with someone, ruining the reputation of the Jiang family and making the Jiang family a laughing stock.

Teacher Jiang hated this daughter to the extreme, but after his daughter became pregnant and was abandoned by the man, he took her in regardless of the past.

Afterwards, Jiang Yi gave birth to a daughter, Yan Li, in the Jiang family, and died of dystocia-clearly dead, how could she suddenly become the Queen of Jin?

"The Queen and the princes have come from afar, and our emperor welcomes you very much." The Ninth Prince rode forward and saluted the Queen and the princes' envoys opposite him, "I am Mu Tingchuan, the Ninth Prince of Mu State."

"In accordance with the order of our emperor, we respectfully welcome the Queen and the princes' envoys. Please forgive us."

Looking around with her beautiful eyes, Jiang Yi looked at the officials of Mu State who came to welcome the guests, and frowned slightly: "No female officials?"

The Minister of Rites was stunned, then reacted and apologized: "We are rude-"

" The way Mu State entertains guests is really unacceptable. "The first young man on the left said coldly, "When your prime minister came up, he stared at my mother non-stop, without the calmness and elegance that a prime minister should have. This is one of the impolitenesses."

"My mother is the regent queen of Jin State. Even if your Mu State Emperor does not come in person, he should send someone with enough weight to entertain, such as the war god, the ninth prince. This is the second impoliteness."

"Although my mother is the queen of Jin State with the power of regent, she is a woman after all. She has traveled all the way. You came to visit me, but you didn't even arrange a female official to serve me? This is the third impoliteness."

"And——"

"It's you who were impolite first, please forgive me." The Minister of Rites interrupted him and smiled apologetically, "You don't know, the Ninth Prince is getting married today, and I can't get away."

The Left Vice Minister of Rites nodded and said, "The Emperor has ordered people to prepare a banquet in the palace, and also asked the Queen, the princes, and the envoys to condescend to come to the palace together, so that we can welcome the guests. . "

"A marriage?" The Queen frowned, "Whose daughter are you marrying?"

"It's the cousin of the Jiang family, Yan Li." Prime Minister Gu came back to his senses and his tone became calm and steady, "Yan Li was named Princess Nanyang by the Emperor, so this marriage is also a good match."

"It's also a good match?" Jiang Yi tilted his head and looked at Prime Minister Gu, "You mean, if the Emperor didn't make Yan Li a princess, she wouldn't be worthy of the Ninth Prince?"

Prime Minister Gu choked and couldn't help thinking, if it weren't for the Emperor's favoritism, wouldn't Yan Li be unworthy of the Ninth Prince?

But Yan Li is Jiang Yi's daughter, and Jiang Yi is now the Queen of Jin.

In front of Jiang Yi, how can you still say that Yan Li is not worthy?

"According to common sense, the identity of the Jiang family's cousin is indeed not worthy of the Ninth Prince." He said with reservation, "After all, what happened fifteen years ago has a great impact on the reputation of the Jiang family."

With a mother whose reputation has been damaged, Yan Li can't have a satisfactory marriage, let alone a status of living under someone else's roof.

"Whether Yan Li is worthy or not, your emperor knows better than anyone else." Jiang Yi's mouth flashed a sarcastic arc, "Do you think that he would favor Yan Li for no reason?"

Prime Minister Gu frowned and remained silent. What does this sentence mean?

Is there something else going on?

Well, there must be something unknown.

Otherwise, a daughter of the Jiang family with a bad reputation could not have concealed the truth and killed the Queen of Jin.

She faked her death to get away. Someone must have helped her. Otherwise, how could she do it quietly?

Prime Minister Gu thought of the current status of the Jiang family and was moved: "Does the queen still have any grievances against the Jiang family?"

"Why?" Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to stand up for 놖?"

Don't think she can't see what 놛 is thinking.

Want to use her against the Jiang family?

Prime Minister Gu is very cunning and will not admit it directly: "How can I stand to defend the Queen?"

Jiang Yi muttered without saying a word.

"It's true that the Jiang family is not living a very good life." Prime Minister Gu sighed with a pity tone, "Without a mother by his side, the children will inevitably suffer some grievances."

Jiang Yi was still silent.

The four princes behind him finally couldn't help but speak. The first one to speak was Prince Yan Zheng: "We came to Mu country this time to pick up my sister and return to our ancestors."

The second prince, Yan Chen, spoke calmly, but with a hint of coldness: "Yan Li is the well-known little princess of the Jin Kingdom. She is a noble princess. She is not a rare princess in the Mu Kingdom but is looked down upon by others."

The fourth prince, Yan Jin, has a handsome appearance and elegant posture: "Brother 꺶 and second brother are right. The ninth prince of Mu wants to marry his sister. According to the diplomatic etiquette of the two countries, he should go to Jin to propose marriage in person, instead of marrying without asking. Put Jin in your eyes."

The sixth prince, Yan Yun, concluded: "Those in the Jiang family are not good to my sister, so we will naturally seek justice for our sister, and there is no need to consider the prime minister's false intentions."
