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

The eyes of all the civil and military officials lit up instantly.

Does anyone remember where this all started?

Does that matter?

Of course it doesn't matter!

The most important thing is for the State of Qi to apologize!

Emperor Kangwu looked at Qi Yanhe and said with relief, "This matter almost turned into a misunderstanding."

"Fortunately, this has been explained clearly. Otherwise, people might have thought that Qi had some ulterior motives towards Da Rui, which could have led to a major war between the two countries, and the people of the world would have suffered as a result."

"If the people suffer greatly, wouldn't the Qi Kingdom become a sinner to the world?"

Qi Yanhe: "..."

Civil and military officials: "!!!"

Grand Secretary Zhang: "..."

He seemed to understand whose mouth Princess Chen'an got from.

However, he dared not speak or ask, for he knew nothing.

Qi Yan laughed; he was laughing because he was angry.

How can a monarch of a nation be so shameless?

After framing him, you must apologize.

They demand an apology and also want to claim the moral high ground.

Do you want both substance and appearance?

What a huge face!

What Qi Yanhe found most unbearable was that he couldn't refute it.

Because his craftsmen were dead, and all the evidence pointed to him.

What else can be done besides admitting that it was his fault for not disciplining his children properly?

Even if he did find evidence, would Da Rui admit it?

During the time he was investigating the evidence, wouldn't Da Rui seize the opportunity to launch an attack on Qi State?

He dared not gamble.

In particular, he is currently in Da Rui. Even if he were to send a message back, it would not only take time, but also... would Da Rui allow him to send a message back so easily?

Qi Yanhe could only force a smile: "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

"It was indeed our failure to properly discipline them that allowed this thief to take advantage of the situation and almost ruin the friendly relations between our two countries."

"As for this apology..."

Qi Zhiyu interjected, "Forget it, you are, after all, the Third Princess's husband. Since there is a marriage alliance between the two countries, we won't make things difficult for you."

"Just give us five thousand fine horses from Da Rui."

As soon as Qi Zhiyu spoke, a chorus of coughs erupted in the hall.

It wasn't that the civil and military officials were unsophisticated; it was simply that Princess Chen'an's demand for an apology was far too unexpected.

Five thousand fine horses, what does that mean?

An apology should certainly not be made to the elderly, weak, sick, or disabled.

In other words, all five thousand horses were in their prime and in good health.

You have to understand that elite cavalry, let alone five thousand, even a thousand, can play a terrifying role on the battlefield.

Even in the hands of a good commander, a thousand elite cavalrymen could change the outcome of a war.

Not to mention, their princess asked for five thousand fine horses right off the bat.

Everyone knows that besides their cold iron, Qi Kingdom is most famous for its fine horses.

He is tall and strong, possessing both endurance and explosive power.

Such fine horses, once trained and deployed on the battlefield, would be a formidable weapon.

Qi Yanhe didn't even need to answer; they all knew the answer—absolutely impossible!

Even if Qi Yan were insane, he wouldn't agree to give them five thousand fine horses.

Emperor Kangwu glanced at Prince Rui and thought, "Your daughter really dares to speak up."

Prince Rui remained completely calm, saying he would get used to it.

Emperor Kangwu: "..."

He fully understood the meaning of "the student surpasses the teacher".

It seems that experiencing something firsthand makes all the difference.

"Princess, you must be joking." Qi Yanhe refused without hesitation.

Hesitating even for a moment is an insult to one's own sanity!

"Huh? Is that not allowed?" Qi Zhiyu asked unhappily.

"But I really like the horses of your Qi Kingdom."

The civil and military officials secretly agreed; they liked it too!

Qi Yan's face turned green: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

He won't talk to that shameless Qi Zhiyu!

Qi Zhiyu: "..."

She felt rejected, and she had evidence.

Qi Yanhe is such a coward. When he can't win an argument with her, he goes to her imperial grandfather. How cunning!

"If Chen'an is happy, then as his grandfather, I naturally cannot let the child down." Emperor Kangwu looked helplessly at Qi Yanhe.

"You're a father yourself, so you can understand the feelings of elders who love their juniors, right?"

Qi Yanhe: "..."

That's shameless!

They're a family that's truly from the same lineage!

They're shameless to the extreme!

"Your Majesty, five thousand fine horses are absolutely impossible," Qi Yanhe stated, making his position clear. "Not to mention me, even if the King of Qi were here, he would not agree."

"Grandfather, I love the fine horses of Qi Kingdom!" Qi Zhiyu said coquettishly.

Seeing Qi Zhiyu like this, the Third Princess angrily scolded, "Chen An, how old are you?"

"You're already of marriageable age, how dare you act so coquettishly? Aren't you disgusting?"

Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow: "I'm pampered, so what if I act spoiled?"

"I didn't do it to you!"

"Third Princess, you live by the sea, why are you so nosy?"

"When you're being affectionate with your husband, we don't say anything!"

The third princess was furious: "You..."

"Father, are you just going to let Chen'an run wild?" The Third Princess couldn't argue with Qi Zhiyu, so she turned to Emperor Kangwu.

Emperor Kangwu smiled slightly: "If Chen'an wants it, then he may have it."

"Moreover, the victim this time is her second brother, so it's only right that she chooses what kind of apology to make."

The Third Princess disagreed with Emperor Kangwu's statement: "Father, according to Chen'an, this almost ignited a conflict between the two countries."

"If that's the case, then it's a matter of state, how can it be considered a family matter?"

"Even if Qi Jingxi has been wronged, it should be a wrong he has suffered as a subject of the Great Rui."

"This apology should be made by the civil and military officials, not by Chen An."

The Third Princess's eloquent words caused Qi Yanhe's hands, which were hanging in his sleeves, to clench and unclench repeatedly.

He tried his best to restrain himself, which is why he didn't slap her in public.

This idiot, if you can't speak, just shut up.

The Third Princess, completely unaware of Qi Yanhe's thoughts, smugly asked loudly, "Gentlemen, what are your opinions?"

She had a well-reasoned argument.

These ministers aren't fools; many of them are even loyal to the King of Wu. How could they possibly let Qi Zhiyu run wild?

Qi Zhiyu is just boasting that he is deeply favored by His Majesty, isn't he?

Today, she will let Qi Zhiyu know that sometimes, even His Majesty cannot act arbitrarily.

Soon, she will shatter Qi Zhiyu's illusions.

When all the ministers oppose it, even His Majesty has no choice but to compromise.

Qi Zhiyu's much-vaunted favoritism proved so vulnerable!

Without any discussion, the civil and military officials in the hall all spoke up: "It's good that the princess wants a fine horse."

"The princess is distressed for her brother; this compensation... is only right!"

"The bond between the princess and Lord Qi, like that between siblings, is truly admirable!"

There were all sorts of opinions, but the message they all conveyed was the same—they all supported Qi Zhiyu in wanting a fine horse!

The third princess stared in astonishment at the chattering ministers, only one thought in her mind—she's gone mad!

These people have all gone mad!

It's one thing for others, but why do those who follow the King of Wu also support Qi Zhiyu?
