Chapter 2649 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone
In order to receive the envoys from the Yu tribe, Prime Minister Shi was so busy that he did not return from the palace until it was completely dark.
The whole family is waiting for him.
Looking at his daughter under the lamp and his two young sons who were still somewhat unfamiliar to him, Prime Minister Shi felt that such days seemed really good.
"Next time, you can eat first. You are all growing up, so you don't have to wait for me." After washing his hands, Prime Minister Shi smiled gently at the three people.
Shi Nian and Shi Jiao were still a little afraid to speak when facing this father. They just looked at each other and then looked at Shi Li together.
Shi Li smiled and personally served a bowl of soup to Prime Minister Shi and placed it in front of him.
"It's okay. We have snacks to fill our stomachs when we are hungry. Father is the one who works the hardest outside."
That’s why they say daughters are warm and caring. Prime Minister Shi was almost moved to tears by his daughter’s words.
He picked up the soup bowl and put it down again, looking at the children one by one, "Okay...Okay, let's eat."
Then during the meal, Prime Minister Shi asked about Shi Nian and Shi Jiao's homework for the first time.
The two young boys were flattered and stuttered at first. Shi Li had to comfort them gently before they could slowly speak fluently to their father.
So, life like this is so good, why do you have to desire a man?
Shi Li couldn't quite understand the original owner's thoughts. She entrusted everything she had to an outsider, and ended up letting down her loved ones who had always been by her side.
Just when things were warm and cozy, Xiao Jiao's words made Prime Minister Shi's face droop instantly.
"Brother Xiao Lu also came this morning and gave my brother and I guidance for a long time."
Shi Jiao looked innocent, but he didn't know that his old father treated his little brother Lu as if he were a weasel trying to steal a chicken.
Only Shi Nian, who was standing nearby, sensed something was wrong. He nervously grabbed Shi Jiao's sleeve and shook his head to signal him to stop talking.
"Hmph." Prime Minister Shi snorted lightly, and couldn't help looking at Shi Li, "What about Li'er, what did you do today?"
The purpose of asking his daughter whether she had seen Lu Shenyuan during the day was too obvious.
Shi Li couldn't help laughing and shook her head at her old father. "I slept a little during the day and didn't go out until almost noon. I heard from the housekeeper that General Xiao Lu had left. I really neglected him today."
Prime Minister Shi's expression finally looked better. He didn't care whether his hospitality was flawed or not. Instead, he consoled him, "It's okay. You are weak to begin with, so you should take more care of yourself. As for Lu Shenyuan, I will go and thank him myself."
The emperor left the people of the Feather Tribe in the other palace for a few days. On the fifth day, he summoned them to the palace to meet him and held a banquet to entertain them as usual.
All the ministers had to bring their families with them, and Shi Li was the only family member of Prime Minister Shi. Such an occasion was not suitable for Shi Nian and Shi Jiao, so Shi Li did not speak for them.
This banquet had the most people present.
Above him are the emperor, the crown prince and several other princes; below him are civil officials, military generals, and their families.
Shi Li met Zhong Shanlang again at the end of the banquet.
Most of the bruises on his face had faded away, leaving only some faint marks. He was wearing an official uniform that matched his status, and was sitting in a corner, obscure.
The protagonists of today's banquet are the people of the Feather Clan, so naturally they will be the main focus.
The Princess of the Feather Tribe walked in, and all the lights in the palace shone on her.
What is puzzling is that the princess of the Feather Clan has the same fair skin as the ladies of the capital, her round diamond-shaped eyes are full of rebellious brilliance, and her dark brown eyeballs are like a cat's.
She is indeed a rare exotic beauty.
Even though it was her first time in the capital, and even though she was being watched by so many people, the Princess of the Feather Clan did not show any sign of timidity. Instead, she held her head high and walked proudly from outside the palace.
Finally, he stood in the center of the palace. Even though he had to look up at the emperor and the prince on the throne, his face was still dignified and he only bowed slightly.
The emperor was not interested in beauty, so he just smiled faintly and then looked at the prince. After finding that the prince was also just smiling politely, he raised his hand to offer the princess a seat.
The next person to come in was the envoy of the Feather Tribe.
Those who are entrusted with the important task of being sent as envoys to other countries are naturally eloquent people. The envoy seemed to have prepared a plan in advance. He walked to the center of the palace, knelt down and kowtowed, and then knelt directly to praise the emperor.
No one dislikes flattery. The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked the envoy to stand up. The envoy stood up respectfully and continued, "This time, the Yu Clan wants to make peace with Da'an forever, so they specially sent the princess here, and are willing to form a Qin-Jin friendship with Da'an."
As expected, all princesses seemed to have only one mission, which was to marry a foreign princess.
Shi Li was a nobody at the banquet, she just pricked up her curious ears to hear what kind of excitement was going on.
In fact, the appearance of the Feather Clan Princess here, anyone with a little political sense could guess that it was for a marriage of peace.
The emperor nodded in agreement, "Of course, I have many young talents in Da'an, and I will definitely not humiliate the princess."
However, the Princess of the Feather Clan stood up on her own at this time.
"Your Majesty, I have someone I want to marry." The princess of the Feather Clan raised her head and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
