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

As soon as Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, all the ministers looked at Emperor Kangwu.

The military generals were eager to try their luck; they also wanted to fight against the Qi Kingdom.

Especially since they were in the right!

The Qi Kingdom is going too far, coming all the way to Da Rui to bully them.

If they tolerate this, how will other countries view their Great Rui?

The atmosphere in the hall immediately became tense and confrontational.

Even the slow-witted Third Princess was made extremely uncomfortable by this tension.

She stared blankly at Qi Yanhe, her mind a jumbled mess.

She had a vague feeling that he was being targeted.

They were even in danger of losing their lives.

Qi Yanhe sighed: "Princess, you really are...too prone to overthinking."

"Then tell me something that won't make you overthink it," Qi Zhiyu said with a disdainful smile.

"Anyway, I haven't seen the Qi Kingdom show any respect for the Great Rui."

"On the contrary, I see your attacks on the royal family of my Great Rui."

"You just don't want our Da Rui to have a good life!"

Qi Yan said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I brought a gift with me to Da Rui this time."

"I originally intended to hand it over to His Majesty before I left."

"Why do you have to give the gift right before you leave?" Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled. "Who gives a gift when they're leaving after visiting someone's home?"

"Don't you bring gifts when you visit?"

Qi Yanhe explained, "Because that gift is too valuable, His Majesty of Qi Kingdom is showing his utmost sincerity and does not want to put pressure on Da Rui because of this gift."

Emperor Kangwu was genuinely intrigued.

"What gift?" Qi Zhiyu asked curiously.

Qi Yanhe said in a deep voice, "It was the original Cold Iron Mine."

"Dad, what's that?" Qi Zhiyu turned to ask her father, "The very first one? What does that mean?"

Prince Rui clasped his hands together and said calmly, "That was the first mine in Qi Kingdom to discover that contained cold iron."

"They mined for a long time, and eventually almost the entire area was mined out."

"Later, the Qi Kingdom discovered cold iron ore in other places, and that mine was abandoned."

"Ah, it's all abandoned, and you're giving it away as a gift?" Qi Zhiyu curled her lips in disdain. "Your Qi Kingdom is really 'generous' enough."

"Princess, you are unaware of this," Qi Yanhe said in a deep voice, "Although it is abandoned, if you mine carefully, there is still cold iron inside."

Qi Zhiyu understood: "So you have better mines to eat the meat, and you're giving us your mine, which only has leftovers, as a gift?"

"Then, they even told us how valuable the gift was!"

"Is the Kingdom of Qi really that poor?"

Qi Yanhe was almost driven mad with anger.

Even abandoned mines can contain cold iron.

You should know that the cold iron of their Qi Kingdom is very important in the army.

It is an excellent material for forging weapons and armor.

He came here this time to win over the King of Wu.

The original plan was to secretly give this mine to the King of Wu.

At that time, the King of Wu can use those cold iron to forge weapons and armor to deal with Da Rui.

When the Great Rui is in turmoil and both sides are weakened, the Qi Kingdom will take advantage of the situation to invade.

Anyway, the cold iron in that mine is limited. It's a good thing for other countries, but it's not that rare for their Qi Kingdom.

Moreover, the weapons and armor forged from the cold iron in that mine were also within their control.

"Your Majesty, you should know the importance of Cold Iron," Qi Yanhe said, looking at Emperor Kangwu.

Emperor Kangwu asked, "Can the people of Da Rui go and mine?"

"Of course," Qi Yanhe nodded.

"Come on," Qi Zhiyu said, disbelieving. "When the time comes, if our people from Da Rui go there, and your Qi Kingdom sends troops to encircle and suppress us, we will suffer heavy losses and our military strength will be weakened by your Qi Kingdom."

"Hmph, we can see through such an obvious conspiracy, we won't fall for it."

"Princess, our Qi Kingdom would never do such a thing," Qi Yanhe assured him.

"Just because you say you won't doesn't mean you won't. By the time you do, our soldiers from Da Rui will already be dead. Who will you complain to then?" Qi Zhiyu completely ignored Qi Yanhe's words.

Qi Yanhe really wished he could poison Qi Zhiyu to make her mute.

Why does such a pretty person have to have a mouth?

"We'll also give the mine where the mine is located to Da Rui!" Qi Yanhe made the decision directly.

Losing a few hilltops is a loss for the Qi Kingdom, but it's still much better than the two countries going to war directly.

He can still make decisions about the mountains.

However, he was still tricked by Qi Zhiyu.

His plans were completely disrupted.

"Shouldn't we have a written agreement for this?" Qi Zhiyu asked Emperor Kangwu.

Emperor Kangwu smiled: "This will naturally be handled by someone, Chen'an, don't worry."

"The King of Qi is unlikely to go back on his word."

"So it really was a misunderstanding on my part?" Qi Zhiyu asked, somewhat bewildered. "But why are the people you brought, Prince Qi, slandering the Great Rui royal family like this?"

Qi Yanhe said helplessly, "Because the Third Princess is angry, they want to avenge her."

"In my residence, everything is done with the Third Princess's wishes in mind."

Qi Zhiyu almost vomited from disgust.

Even at this point, Qi Yanhe still hasn't forgotten his image as a devoted husband and doting husband.

That's absolutely disgusting.

However, since she had already received the benefits, she decided to tolerate it for the time being.

"Fine then." Qi Zhiyu pouted and muttered, "Your men are really brainless, they don't even have a sense of propriety."

"Aren't you afraid of starting a war between the two countries?"

Qi Yanhe said in a deep voice, "Princess, rest assured, I will punish them properly when we get back."

"After the Third Princess did such a thing, didn't you think of giving some apology to the Great Rui royal family?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

Qi Yan was shocked by Qi Zhiyu's shamelessness: "Princess, that mine just now..."

"Wasn't that a gift you were going to give us anyway?" Qi Zhiyu asked in shock.

"Can a gift and an apology be the same thing?"

Qi Yanhe: "..."

Why doesn't Qi Zhiyu just die?

He ruined his plans, took away the mines and several mountains, and that wasn't enough?

They also have to apologize!

"No way? No way? You think you're done after slandering the Great Rui royal family?" Qi Zhiyu sneered.

"Do you think I, Da Rui, am some pushover?"

"If word gets out, how will our Great Rui ever be able to stand in this world again?"

"How will other countries view our Great Rui?"

"From now on, when people from my Great Rui go abroad, they will all be ridiculed by other countries."

"Do you really think I, Da Rui, have no temper? That I can be bullied at will?"

The civil and military officials stared intently at Qi Yanhe. If it weren't for the fact that they could still negotiate, they would have wanted to kill him on the spot.

Qi Yan asked helplessly, "What does the princess wish to do?"

Qi Zhiyu blinked and said, "You should give us another 10% off the terms we discussed last time."

"What?" Qi Yanhe was shocked.

Last time it was already disadvantageous to their Qi Kingdom, if they give up another 10%, then they will hardly make any profit.

"No way?" Qi Zhiyu shrugged. "That means you don't want to compensate me."

"The reason we don't want to compensate you is because we think you did nothing wrong, and that our Da Rui deserves to be humiliated!"

"What's there to say? Let's fight!"
