As soon as the envoy left, everyone praised His Majesty for governing the country.

turned to look at Ji Qiang, with a bit of admiration in his eyes. Touting how Ji Yuanxun taught well, Ji Yuanxun was in a very good mood and said kind words.

The emperor on the seat also nodded with great satisfaction, looking at Ji Qiang who was standing aside with his eyes down, his expression was full of appreciation, "Ji girl, you have made a great contribution to Dachen, say it, what reward do you want!" ”

The emperor said this, and then everyone's eyes fell on Ji Qiang, Ji Qiang straightened her back, and saluted without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty can give your courtiers this opportunity to see the offensive and defensive methods of this formation, which is already a great gift." ”

The smile on the emperor's face did not decrease by half a point, he looked at Ji Yuanxun on the side, seemed to be a little distressed, groaned deeply, and said: "In this case, in order to hold a farewell banquet for the envoys, your reward will be decided at the banquet." ”

Ji Qiang didn't say anything more when she heard this, she honestly performed a salute, and said thank you to Your Majesty crisply.

Ji Yuanxun never expected that his daughter, who didn't pay much attention to it on weekdays, had become so good now, and he couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

When she returned from the palace, Ji Yuanxun asked her to sit in a carriage with her, looking at the obedient and gentle Ji Qiang, she was very strange in her heart, and finally asked, "Why haven't I heard you mention this before?" Ji Yuanxun looked at her with some suspicion.

Ji Qiang's heart jumped, and she lowered her eyes and smiled: "I have nothing to do on weekdays, I read a lot of books, and my daughter doesn't know when she is obsessed with these, just like her father cares about what her mother likes to eat on weekdays?" ”

After saying this, Ji Yuanxun only felt that his face was a little hot, and he didn't want to ask anything more, so he coughed lightly and began to tell about the banquet in a few days.

The foreign envoy came to Dachen to visit this time, obviously wanting to communicate the connection between the two countries, but it was tantamount to trying to make the emperor unhappy.

will bring this difficult to crack the formation, if it can't be broken, then it proves that Dachen is useless, and even if it is broken, he can also explore its reality, but he never expected to be disrupted by a woman, how should he reply?

Xia Chengmu returned to his palace after the banquet, pacing in the house, and couldn't figure out the method of breaking the formation used by Ji Qiang, why Ji Qiang used the same method as his, half a point off.

He had never told anyone about this method, and he didn't reveal half of it when he talked about it with Ji Yuanxun.

Why is Ji Qiang so clear? Even a few of the points were overlooked!

Xia Chengmu couldn't help clenching his fists and slammed on the table, the sound was so loud that the people in the hall were so frightened that the people in the hall knelt on the ground and trembled, took a deep breath, and drove everyone out, leaving only the personal guards.

The warm smiling face on weekdays was gone, and his eyes were full of coldness, Xia Chengmu narrowed his eyes, recalling Ji Qiang's abnormality during this time, and couldn't help frowning, "Go and tell the palace about the situation in the Guogong Mansion in the past few days." ”

The guard responded and hesitated and asked, "Your Highness, ...... ointment?"

At this mention, Xia Chengmu remembered Gu Hanyan's pitiful look, and his eyes lit up, "Send things to the Guogong Mansion tomorrow, and be sure to invite the two young ladies to attend the banquet." ”

Ji Qiang, as a great hero, will definitely attend the banquet, and Xia Chengmu said this, that is, he wants Gu Hanyan to also attend the banquet.

It is not in accordance with the rules in principle to let an adopted daughter with a foreign surname see the palace banquet, and it seems that the six princes are quite concerned about the adopted daughter of this national mansion.

Ji Qiang only felt exhausted when she came back from the palace, and as soon as she changed her clothes, there was a knock on the door, and Xi'er took out a note from her sleeve, saying that it was given to her by a little beggar outside the door.

Ji Qiang raised her eyebrows, she already had a candidate in her heart, took the note and looked at it, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and lit the note on the candle flame, "Xi'er, do you like to drink osmanthus stuffed?" ”

Xi'er was a little confused by her sudden question, but she also nodded honestly, "Miss Hui, the slave can drink, but she can't talk about liking or hating." ”

Then he asked, "Does Miss want to drink osmanthus stuff?" The slave and the maid went out to buy it. ”

Ji Qiang shook her head, a smile on the corner of her mouth, "There's nothing for you here, let's go down first." ”

"Miss, Miss Gu is here outside." A maid knocked on the door and whispered.

Xi'er frowned, and said with some impatience: "Miss, do you need a slave to drive her away?" ”

Since the banquet, Xi'er didn't like Gu Hanyan, let alone Miss was almost assassinated a few days in advance, and she came to splash dirty water, and she didn't have a good impression at all.

Ji Qiang lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea, and responded, "Just say I'm sleepy, let her go for nothing, come back tomorrow if there's anything." ”

The maid responded and retreated, and not long after, the maid hurriedly came in again, lowered her eyes and said, "Miss Gu said that she wouldn't leave if she couldn't see Miss, and now she is standing outside." ”

Ji Qiang raised her eyebrows, looked at Gu Hanyan outside the door with some surprise, and the corners of her mouth raised lightly, "It's not good if you're tired of smoke, let her come in first." ”

"Miss!" Xi'er muttered dissatisfiedly: "She must have known that the young lady entered the palace and was appreciated by His Majesty, and her eyes were red!" Just ignore her......"

Ji Qiang coughed lightly and interrupted Xi'er's words, Xi'er realized that she had lost her words, met Ji Qiang's dark gaze, and closed her mouth with a little pale face.

"You go down first." Ji Qiang sighed in her heart, although she liked Xi'er's jealous and hateful temperament, but after all, the wall has ears, and now you have to be more careful when you talk and do things.

Gu Hanyan entered the room and looked at Ji Qiang on the seat, her eyes flashed, "Qiang'er, you are finally willing to see me, I didn't know that something like that would happen on the day of the banquet, I panicked for a while, and talked nonsense, Qiang'er, don't be angry." ”

As she spoke, she took Ji Qiang's hands, very affectionate, her tone was full of remorse, and it seemed that if she couldn't forgive her, tears would burst out of her eyes in the next second.

Ji Qiang glanced at the slender hands that overlapped each other, her eyes darkened, in her previous life, she was full of trust in Gu Hanyan, and she wished to treat her as a sister, and she was soft-hearted and retreated to her appearance again and again, but what was the final result?

Ji Qiang sneered in her heart, and silently withdrew her hand, with just the right smile on her face, "What is the matter with you coming to me?" I've just come back from the palace, and I'm really tired, so if it's such a trivial matter, I'll talk about it later. ”

Gu Hanyan was stunned for a moment when she saw her answer so distant and polite, her eyes flashed, and there were already tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, so she wiped the corners of her eyes, "I heard that Qiang'er broke the formation brought by the envoys of Luohui Kingdom, and I came to congratulate Qiang'er, Qiang'er is so indifferent, it makes me so sad." ”
