"Your Majesty has arrived. All the ministers welcome you."
When the time came, the eunuch immediately announced Li Shimin's arrival with his croaky voice.
"We welcome Your Majesty!" When the officials of the Great Tang saw Li Shimin enter the Yonghe Palace, they immediately bowed to greet him.
Li Shimin was wearing a dragon crown and an imperial robe. He sat on the dragon throne in the Yonghe Temple and received the congratulations of the ministers and guests. He also said some words of acknowledgment.
"Today is the day our Great Tang and Great Qin form an alliance, so there is no need to be so polite!”
Li Shi Min used to be very dignified, but today he was calm and indifferent. He had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
"To celebrate the alliance between Qin and Tang, I have specially invited Shang Xiufang to sing and dance today!”
After Li Shi Min spoke, the ministers were pleasantly surprised.
The Great Tang was a prosperous culture, and Shang Xiufang was the number one talented woman of the Great Tang. Her talent, appearance, and upbringing were all outstanding.
His voice shook the Great Tang, attracting the admiration of countless people.
However, it was extremely difficult to hear Shang Xiufang's singing.
Because Shang Xiufang looked down on the nobles and was unmoved by fame and fortune, and it was rumored that her identity had a deep connection with the royal family of the Great Tang, no one dared to touch her.
"I really didn't expect that His Majesty would actually be able to invite Shang Xiufang.”
"Your Majesty is the emperor. No matter how much Shang Xiufang looks down on the nobles, she still has to give the emperor face.”
"That's where you're wrong. I heard that Shang Xiufang is related to the Great Tang's royal family and is here to perform voluntarily.”
"No matter what, Shang Xiufang has no regrets in her life for being able to come and perform!”
When he heard that Shang Xiufang would be attending the performance, Ying Che was excited to see the talents of the Great Tang like Wang Bo and Luo Binwang.
One could see her charm and reputation!
"A songstress has such great charm that she can shake the entire court of the Great Tang?”
Meng Yi sat beside Ying Che and was extremely confused.
"It's a good thing that the Tang didn't know about what you said. Otherwise, they would have mocked you as Barbarian Qin again.”
"Young Master, I find it hard to understand the Tang culture.”
Meng Yi rubbed his head and smiled. However, when Shang Xiufang walked out, Meng Yi was immediately stunned.
This was a beautiful woman, as if she had come from the deep valley of dreams to the mortal world. She appeared in front of everyone, and in the entire palace, regardless of whether it was men or women, no one could leave this woman who could topple all living beings.
The most attractive thing about her was her slender and well-proportioned figure and her graceful demeanor.
What was even more touching was her pair of mesmerizing eyes. Her affectionate gaze coupled with the slightly shy smile on her lips was indeed something that no man could resist.
However, as the Great Qin's General, Meng Yi's mental fortitude was strong, and he regained his senses after taking a glance.
"Young Master."
Meng Yi thought that Ying Che would be immersed in Shang Xiufang's charm, but he found that Ying Che was very clear-headed the whole time. He was not infatuated at all.
"Meng Yi admires Young Master's determination!”
"It's very simple. As long as you see many beautiful women, you'll be immune.”
Meng Yi was speechless.
Alright then!
Before the Ninth Young Master Ying Che was exposed on the Noble Ranking, he had been hiding his strength and biding his time. He had seen more beautiful women than him in the Flower Alley, so it was normal for him to resist Shang Xiufang's charm.
Ying Che looked at the stunning Shang Xiufang and was secretly surprised.
Shang Xiufang's face was actually somewhat similar to Li Lizhi's. However, Shang Xiufang was three or four years older than Li Lizhi. Her figure and temperament had completely matured.
All of a sudden, Ying Che felt someone looking at him.
The person who had been staring at Ying Che was Li Lizhi. She came out and took off her men's clothes. She wore a white dress and looked like a fairy in the mortal world. Countless princes and nobles couldn't take their eyes off her.
"Mother, look at him. Did you see that? The way he looked at sister was very clear and sober.”
Li Lizhi said to Empress Zhangsun excitedly.
Empress Zhangsun sized up Ying Che.
This was the first time she had seen Ying Che, her future son-in-law.
Just from his appearance and bearing, Ying Che was as handsome as a cast iron. His demeanor was elegant and calm. He did not have the seriousness and coarseness of the Qin people. It seemed that he was very easy to get along with.
Ying Che's performance just now was not bad either. After Shang Xiufang, the number one talented woman of the Great Tang, appeared, his eyes were clear, without the slightest infatuation or intoxication.
He was not like the so-called royal sons of the Great Tang, who were still looking at Shang Xiufang with eyes that could not wait to swallow her whole.
"Rumor has it that this young master of the Great Qin Empire has seen many things in the Great Qin Empire's Sleeping Flower Alley, which is why he hasn't revealed his true colors.”Empress Zhangsun guessed.
"Mother, how can you speculate about others like that?”
Li Lizhi's excitement was instantly doused with a bucket of cold water.
"Good, good, good. It's just speculation behind the scenes.”
Empress Zhangsun stroked Li Lizhi's head and chuckled.""You're already siding with an outsider now. Do you like that Ying Che?”
"Mother, how is this possible?"
"I just don't want the alliance between Qin and Tang to be ruined." Li Lizhi blushed.”
Empress Zhangsun shook her head lightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
She could tell that her daughter Li Lizhi had a good impression of Ying Che, but she was also worried.
If Li Lizhi married into Great Qin, even if she was willing, Great Qin's political situation was unpredictable and Ying Che was powerless. How could he protect Li Lizhi?
At this moment, a noble of the Great Tang stood up.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Great Qin's Ninth Young Master Ying Che is the most talented person in Great Qin.”
"Ever since our Great Tang raised its army in Taiyuan, we have been able to win every battle.”
"Tonight is a grand event. According to the tradition of the Great Tang, the Civil and Martial Arts Examination is indispensable. Why don't we let the Ninth Young Master compete with the talents of the Great Tang to liven things up?
