Su Yan quickly sat down and stopped looking around. She was just wondering why she didn’t see the seventh princess of Kingdom Jin.
After Nalan Chen spoke, the envoys from all the countries offered their treasures one after another.
When it was Kingdom Jin’s turn, Su Yan found out that the man in white was the third prince of Kingdom Jin, Jin Yueling. He didn’t say anything to compliment him but just asked someone to bring a big box up.
This box was half the height of a person, which aroused the curiosity of the audience.
After the box was brought up, Jin Yueling directly went down.
The audience did not know why, but they only heard an explosion and the box was suddenly broken.
Then, a burst of immortal music was heard.
A few white silk curtains shot out from the box. With the acceleration of the sound of silk and bamboo, a graceful figure rose into the air.
A woman wearing a white veil stepped on the edge of the box with her jade-like feet and danced.
The beautiful scene made all the men present stare at it intently.
However, Su Yan felt a little strange. She felt that this woman’s gaze would glance at her from time to time.
She raised her head and looked carefully. Wasn’t this woman the seventh princess of the Kingdom Jin?
Although she was wearing a veil, her algae-like hair was too eye-catching.
If she looked at it for too long, it would cause dissatisfaction among the people around her.
“Is it very good-looking?”
Su Yan looked at the danger in Gu Ruoyun’s eyes and smiled. She picked up her wine glass and took a sip, no longer looking at her.
Then, she felt that something was not right. They were all women. What was wrong with her to look at her?
Other people’s female companions were dissatisfied with men, but it was the other way around when it came to her.
Su Yan did not look at Jin Tong. Instead, Jin Tong deliberately placed the veil in front of Su Yan’s eyes.
With a light leap, she landed directly in front of Su Yan’s table.
Su Yan looked at the woman who was dancing in front of her. She then looked at Gu Ruoyun to show her loyalty. This was not what she wanted to see.
Gu Ruoyun stared coldly at Jin Tong but she turned a blind eye to it. She only stared at Su Yan.
Everyone thought that Jin Tong was interested in Guang Pingwang and they all sighed at Guang Pingwang’s shallow fortune.
After the dance, Jin Tong took off her veil and bowed to everyone. She said, “Jin Tong of Kingdom Jin, give us a dance to congratulate the new Emperor.”
Nalan Chen was the first to applaud. He smiled and said, “Seventh princess is indeed the most beautiful woman in the world.”
Such a compliment only made Jin Tong smile.
Nalan Chen said meaningfully, “Seventh princess didn’t come here just to congratulate me, right?”
Jin Tong glanced at Su Yan and said, “Indeed, I want to find a husband in the imperial court.”
These words were very straightforward, but she indeed had the capital. Compared to others, no one could reject this beauty.
Nalan Chen’s eyes darkened and said, “I wonder which talent in our imperial court caught the seventh princess’s eye?”
All the young men at the appropriate age sat upright one after another, striving to have a good impression in front of her.
Some smart people saw through the Emperor’s intentions and immediately said, “A beauty like the seventh princess is naturally the best match for the wise and mighty Emperor.”
These words made Nalan Chen reveal a hint of a smile.
Everyone present felt that Jin Tong was about to enter the palace.
After all, even if the person she liked was not the Emperor, it was impossible to say that she was not.
Who knew that Jin Tong would not play by the rules.
Jin Tong looked at Su Yan intently. Su Yan almost thought that Jin Tong fancied her.
She said, “I fancied Guang Pingwang.”
The ministers were surprised by Jin Tong’s boldness, but to be honest, they were not surprised by this result. Guang Pingwang’s influence in the various countries was very great.
Every year, one would hear of a princess from another country who would not marry any other man other than Guang Pingwang.
Nalan Chen’s face darkened. The minister who had just spoken immediately lowered his head and cursed Jin Tong for not knowing what was good for her.
Jin Tong looked straight at Su Yan and said, “Do you dare to compete with me? If you lose, give me Guang Pingwang. If you win, I would withdraw.”
Su Yan looked at the people around her innocently.. Why did she look for her?
