The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 402 Birthday Banquet

Before the birthday party, Yan Ning notified everyone who needed to be notified.

Not many people came, including Uncle Qi's family of three, the Empress Dowager, Yang Qianyue, Yan Ning and Qi Hengyuan, a total of seven people.

It’s more like a family dinner than a birthday dinner, but compared to a family dinner, Huang Yucheng was not invited this time.

Since there were few people, they were arranged in one place, with men and women sitting together.

Yang Qianyue was the first to arrive, followed by the Empress Dowager, and then Uncle Qi and his family of three.

Yan Ning went to Guangren Palace at 2:15 pm. She saw Yang Qianyue and they greeted each other. Her eyes lingered on Rong Wanyin who was beside Yang Qianyue.

Rong Wanyin was just pretending to be a maid, but she did not change her appearance. Yan Ning had seen Rong Wanyin at Jinmei Pavilion a few days ago. Yang Qianyue wanted to fool Yan Ning, but she couldn't.

Yang Qianyue pulled Yan Ning aside and whispered, "Jia Yin said she had never been to the Qi Palace and wanted to come and see it. She spoke so pitifully and begged so hard that I had no choice but to bring her here. Only you know her identity, so you have to keep it a secret for me."

Yan Ning thought, I can’t help keep her identity a secret, but I didn’t make things difficult for Yang Qianyue.

Yan Ning said meaningfully: "There are many common people who have never been to the palace. Do you agree to bring everyone in if they ask you to?"

Yang Qianyue said angrily: "Of course not, Jia Yin is not someone else, she is my good friend."

After that, he snorted, "Do you think I'm so easy to talk to? I will agree to anyone's request?"

Yan Ning thought, you are not easy to talk to, you are being used.

Yan Ning nodded: "I understand. I won't take the initiative to expose her identity."

There is a deep meaning in what he said. Not exposing it actively is waiting for Rong Wanyin to expose it herself, so that it won't be considered breaking his promise to Yang Qianyue.

But Yang Qianyue didn't know Rong Wanyin's true identity, nor did she hear anything wrong in Yan Ning's words.

When she saw that Yan Ning helped, she felt that Yan Ning was easy to talk to, so she felt more grateful to Yan Ning and didn't hate him so much anymore.

After the Empress Dowager arrived, Yan Ning went to greet her again. In order to prevent the Empress Dowager from being used by Rong Wanyin, Yan Ning stuffed a string of Buddhist beads into the Empress Dowager's hands.

There are sixteen beads in the Buddhist beads, and only two of them have been soaked in Yan Ning's blood. Although there are only two, they are enough to resist Rong Wanyin's charm.

After them came the Qi Wangshu and his family of three.

Similarly, Yan Ning also gave Princess Qi two strings of Buddhist beads, also with sixteen beads, two of which were soaked in Yan Ning's blood.

Two strings of Buddhist beads, one for the Princess of Qi and one for the Uncle of Qi.

The Empress Dowager, Princess Qi, and Uncle Qi did not know Yan Ning's intention, but Yan Ning had just whispered something in the Empress Dowager's and Princess Qi's ears.

The saying is: "Put it on first, explain why later."

Whether it was the Empress Dowager, the Princess of Qi, or the Uncle of Qi, they all believed in Yan Ning very much. Even though they didn't know that Yan Ning possessed supernatural powers, since Yan Ning said so, they naturally did as he said.

Yan Ning did not prepare Buddhist beads for Qi Rongchu because they would not be needed. Rong Wanyin would not drag Qi Rongchu into trouble, nor would she use any charm on Qi Rongchu.

Yan Ning's eyes swept across Qi Rongchu's face. During this period of time, neither Yan Lang nor Chen Hong reported the situation on Qi Rongchu's side, which meant that Qi Rongchu had not taken any action.

Yan Ning looked at Rong Wanyin calmly again. Since Qi Rongchu came in, Rong Wanyin just looked up and never made eye contact with Qi Rongchu again.

These two people have no private contact, and there is no flaw when they meet. They both hide their secrets very deeply.

Especially Qi Rongchu, who is so young but has such determination and scheming, it's really scary.

Rong Wanyin stayed quietly beside Yang Qianyue, but was actually observing everyone in the hall.

The King of Qi has not arrived yet, so she will not rashly use her charm, but she knows that everyone in this hall today will be her helper. Rong Wanyin didn't know that Yan Ning had magical powers. The only people who knew about this were Uncle Jiang, his confidants, and Jiang Chengchi.

If Rong Wanyin knew, she would definitely not dare to accept the mission of this envoy, and would not be so confident.

Uncle Jiang sent Rong Wanyin here just to test her ability. With a patron saint like the Yan family, Uncle Jiang did not hold much hope for Rong Wanyin's mission.

In addition to sending Rong Wanyin to Qi to promote peace talks, Uncle Jiang also wanted Rong Wanyin to secretly investigate the Buddhist beads in Chen Dongyan's hand. There was also a secret letter, the content of which was her real mission of this mission, which was to make peace between Qi and Jiang, and for Jiang to marry Yan Xiaoye as the queen.

It was just because Rong Wanyin had not revealed her identity as an envoy after arriving in Qi State. Uncle Jiang did not know whether Rong Wanyin could successfully reveal her identity as an envoy and whether she could successfully stay. Therefore, Uncle Jiang had not yet handed over these two important things to Rong Wanyin.

Uncle Jiang planned to wait until Rong Wanyin revealed her identity as an envoy and her identity as an envoy was accepted by Qi Hengyuan before instructing Rong Wanyin to do these two important tasks.

Staying in Qi as an envoy, with the approval of Qi Hengyuan, it became much easier for Rong Wanyin to handle things in Guiyang City in the past two years.

If Rong Wanyin failed, she would know too much about Uncle Jiang's plan, and Uncle Jiang was worried that Rong Wanyin would leak the information.

Currently, only Uncle Jiang and Jiang Chengchi know about the plan to attack Yan Xiaoye. If His Majesty of Qi knew about it, he would definitely take the initiative.

Uncle Jiang is very cautious, and he is also very careful to be on the safe side.

And the real purpose of his peace talks was not for peace talks, but for Yan Xiaoye.

Rong Wanyin knew nothing, but she accepted the mission of the messenger, either succeed or die.

She must succeed.

At noon, Qi Hengyuan came over.

He did not come alone. He was accompanied by Eunuch Wang, Chen Dongyan, a large number of palace maids and eunuchs, and more than a dozen palace guards. It was a huge gathering.

The palace guards walked to the door, dispersed, and guarded the door closely.

The palace maids and eunuchs also stayed outside the door.

Qi Hengyuan lifted up his dragon robe and entered the hall, accompanied by Eunuch Wang and Chen Dongyan.

When Qi Hengyuan came in, everyone stood up and saluted him.

Qi Hengyuan waved his hand, asked everyone to stand up, and then walked straight towards Yan Ning.

Rong Wanyin raised her head and saw the majestic man in the dragon robe at a glance.

Her expression was stunned for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

She didn't expect that His Majesty the State of Qi was so handsome. His handsomeness was different from Jiang Chengchi's.

Jiang Chengchi's handsomeness only appears on the surface, while his beauty is deep in his bones.

He is also much stronger in momentum than Jiang Chengchi.

He is also taller than Jiang Chengchi.

His eyes were very deep, as deep as the impenetrable night sky. I always felt that there was a deep and boundless world hidden in those eyes that no one could see through.

Rong Wanyin's heart started beating for no apparent reason.

She likes strong men.

This man was not only powerful, but also extremely handsome, of supreme status, and dominated the entire State of Qi.

If we capture him, we will capture the entire State of Qi.
