The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

Emperor Kangwu ignored the Third Princess and instead looked at Qi Zhiyu: "Sever ties?"

"Yes, that's right," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"Over the years, my grandfather has only maintained trade relations with the Qi Kingdom because of the Third Princess."

Overall, Qi State still benefits.

"This kind of unprofitable business can't continue."

"What loss?" the Third Princess asked anxiously. "Father, don't listen to Chen An's nonsense."

"How can a mere princess spout nonsense here, when it concerns matters of great importance to both nations?"

Before Emperor Kangwu could speak, Qi Zhiyu sneered, "Third Princess, you're not surprised at all. The exchange of goods between the two countries was something your grandfather did for you."

"So you're pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth."

"You always boast about your loving relationship with your husband, but it's because your grandfather has always been there for you."

"You bastard who's taken advantage of everyone, and you still have the nerve to say I got here because of my dad?"

"According to you, no matter how much I rely on my father, all I can do is drive out a fake."

"We can't compare to you. After all, the whole country is making concessions for you!"

The way everyone in the hall looked at the Third Princess was a little strange.

The two countries do have trade relations, but to say that they lost money... that's definitely not the case.

However, I didn't earn much.

"Chen'an, you're talking nonsense!" The Third Princess panicked.

She was just criticizing Qi Zhiyu for being intolerant, how did it suddenly escalate to the level of national interests?

"Ask your husband if you're talking nonsense," Qi Zhiyu said, then looked at Qi Yanhe, who had remained silent.

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

Qi Zhiyu has already asked the question, so it would be unreasonable for Qi Yanhe to pretend to be ignorant any longer.

"What the princess says is quite true. Over the years, our two countries have been exchanging goods, and it is true that your country has conceded some benefits."

The facts are obvious, and Qi Yanhe cannot deny them.

"Did you hear that, Third Princess?" Qi Zhiyu smiled as she looked at the Third Princess, whose face had turned pale.

"Your loving relationship with your husband and the cleanliness of your household without concubines are all because someone paid the price for you."

The third princess swayed, muttering in a daze, "This...this is impossible..."

"So, Third Princess, what right do you, the beneficiary, have to lecture me so arrogantly?" Qi Zhiyu asked her with amusement.

"You say my grandfather favors me? Hasn't he been good enough to you?"

"Third Princess, you have no conscience!" Qi Zhiyu's words were like a knife, stabbing the Third Princess deeply.

The third princess was startled and subconsciously looked at Emperor Kangwu.

Emperor Kangwu showed no expression, simply looking at her calmly.

However, it was precisely this calm that made the Third Princess very uneasy.

"Chen'an, diplomatic relations between our two countries are a major issue. How can you sever them with just a few words?" the Third Princess questioned sharply.

"It's fine if we don't continue," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile. "From now on, our trade with Qi Kingdom will follow the same standards as with other countries."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yanhe frowned slightly.

If that were the case, their Qi Kingdom would face a significant increase in burden every year.

Don't underestimate the small amount of profit; when the amount is large, it can add up to a considerable expense.

"Why?" the Third Princess demanded angrily. "It's always been like that, why is it going up?"

"In the past, it was because my grandfather loved his daughter dearly and wanted to protect you after you were married off to a distant place," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh.

"However, it seems now that the Third Princess and your husband are a perfect match, and Grandfather was really overthinking it."

"Eh..." Qi Zhiyu seemed to suddenly remember something. She clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Over the years, my grandfather has made concessions for you. So, for your husband's sake, Qi Kingdom should also make up for the extra profits gained over the years."

"In the past, if we gave Qi State three-tenths of the profits, Qi State would have to trade according to six-tenths of the profits in the future."

"Third Princess, didn't you say your husband loves you very much?"

"He'll definitely do this for you, even if it's such a small thing."

Qi Zhiyu smiled brightly, but it sent a chill down the spine of the Third Princess.

Although she felt that her husband loved and doted on her, when it came to national interests... it wasn't something he could decide on his own.

"How can matters concerning the interests of both countries be decided so casually?" The Third Princess frowned, staring at Qi Zhiyu with disapproval.

"Whatever? Not at all." Qi Zhiyu smiled and raised her hand. "My grandfather is here, Prince Qi is here, and all the civil and military officials are here as well."

"Perfect timing for a talk."

"Let's talk now."

Qi Yan stared at Qi Zhiyu in disbelief. Was this Princess Chen'an even human?

Matters concerning the interests of both countries require the ministers of both nations to sit down and discuss them carefully.

Who would make a decision so casually with just a few words at a banquet like this?

"Chen'an, what decision do you have on this matter?" The Third Princess also knew that this matter was of great importance and could not be discussed in such a setting.

Moreover, she had a gut feeling that it was best not to talk about this.

"I didn't make the decision; I just suggested it," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh. "I just felt that since Grandfather cares for you, he could make concessions."

"Since your husband loves you so much, he'll definitely be willing to make concessions."

"That can't take up everyone's time, and no one is prepared." The Third Princess made excuses; she just didn't want to talk about it.

"My lords, do you have any objections?" Qi Zhiyu asked, looking at the civil and military officials.

All the civil and military officials expressed their opinion: "We are ready to talk at any time."

"Since the State of Qi is so sincere, we will certainly comply."

Are you kidding me?

They would be crazy not to talk about things that benefit the imperial court.

talk!

We must talk!

The King of Wu clenched his fists tightly under the table, his arms trembling slightly.

What exactly is the Third Princess doing?

He wrote to the Third Princess, asking her to return, in order to deal with Qi Zhiyu.

With Qi Yanhe and the royal family of Qi Kingdom behind her, it would be a piece of cake for the Third Princess to suppress Qi Zhiyu.

What about the third princess?

She managed to ruin such a good situation.

Has the Third Princess been spoiled by Qi Yanhe after so many years of marriage?

He certainly can't object now.

This is a major matter concerning the interests of the court. If he opposes it, not only will his status as a prince preclude him from doing so, but what will the entire court think of him?

Qi Yan was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't understand how things had developed like this.

Isn't this a banquet to welcome them back and wash away the dust of their journey?

When did we start talking about the interests of both countries?

"See, everyone agrees." Qi Zhiyu raised her hand and said, "The atmosphere is right, so let's start talking."

"Grandfather, you have no objections, do you?" Qi Zhiyu turned to look at Emperor Kangwu.

Emperor Kangwu chuckled: "Of course not."

Qi Yan was completely stunned.

Emperor Kangwu had no objections, but he did!

What do you mean, "talk about it"?

How could their Qi Kingdom suffer such heavy losses when everything was going so well?
