Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 328

Chapter 328: Luandi Liwan’s Request
After hearing her elder brother’s question, Luandi Liwan came back to her senses. She looked at her elder brother and saw that they had reached their seats. Seeing everyone taking their seats, she smiled and sat down.

Sitting at another table next to them, Luandi Lirong rolled her eyes at Luandi Liwan. Luandi Liwan ignored her ninth elder sister and looked at Duan Yixin again. Seeing that Duan Yixin had looked away from her, Luandi Liwan lowered her eyes and fell into deep thoughts.

Not long after the Xiong Nu’s envoy arrived, Qiu Yuanbo’s voice came from outside.

“The Emperor has arrived!”

Upon hearing the announcement of the emperor’s arrival, everyone returned to their seats and knelt on the ground. When the guests saw Emperor Yong’an walking in, they all lowered their heads and said in unison, “Long live the Emperor for ten thousand years.”

Stepping into the main hall, Emperor Yong’an glanced at everyone. After a while, he saw the Xiong Nu’s prince, princesses, and envoys sitting in the front area.

Emperor Yong’an walked past them, sat down calmly in his dragon chair, and waved his hand, “All of you may rise.”

When he said this, except for the Xiong Nu’s envoys, everyone present said, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

After thanking the emperor, they sat down and waited for Emperor Yong’an’s speech. Before Emperor Yong’an began his speech, Xuan Ruiquan and Xie Yanghui came and sat down in their seats. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Emperor Yong’an raised his wine cup and looked at the Xiong Nu’s envoy.

“Today, Zhen is happy to welcome the Xiong Nu’s envoys. Being able to bow their heads and surrender to our Xia Empire, the Xiong Xu’s bravery is worthy of praise.”

After hearing this, Landi Siqi stood up, raised his wine cup, and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty. We are honored to attend this imperial banquet. I drink this cup of wine in honor of you.”

Luandi Siqi drank the wine and sat down. Although he was unhappy that Emperor Yong’an said they were coming to surrender instead of coming to form an alliance, his smiling face didn’t show any of his thoughts.

Emperor Yong’an smiled, “Tonight, we will celebrate the end of the war with the Xiong Nu and the merger of the two different empires. At this festive moment, there is no need to follow the rules. Enjoy the food and wine, and let’s celebrate the victory of our Xia Empire!”

After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp. The guests stood up and raised their glasses, “Long live the Xia Empire! Long live the emperor!”

When the guests sat down, Qiu Yuanbo clasped his hands a few times, and the dancers came in, followed by rows of palace maidservants serving the food and wine. At this point, the imperial banquet officially begins.

Luandi Siqi, who was sitting opposite Xuan Ruiquan and Duan Yixin, stared at them and said to his younger sister, “Wan’er, are you sure you won’t change your mind?”

Luandi Liwan nodded, “Yes, Elder Brother.”

Knowing that his younger sister would not change her mind after making a decision, Luandi Siqi could only sigh and say, “Fine. I just hope you won’t regret it in the future. After tonight, you really can’t regret it even if you want.”

Luandi Liwan lowered her eyes and saw her elder brother’s tightly clenched hands.

She reached out and covered his big hand with her small hand and said softly, “Elder Brother, forgive me for being selfish. But only by choosing the right person can my marriage benefit our people.”

Luandi Siqi fell into silence after she said that. As her elder brother, he actually let his younger sister sacrifice herself and jump into the fire pit willingly. He is so useless that he realizes too late that only with enough strength and power can he protect the ones he loves.

“Now that you have made a decision, your elder brother will help you.” Luandi Siqi said after a long silence.

Hearing this, Luandi Liwan breathed a sigh of relief. She squeezed her elder brother’s hand gently and whispered, “Thank you, Elder Brother.”

Luandi Siqi didn’t want her to say thank you; he just wanted her to be happy. He shook his head and stood up.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yong’an smiled and waited for Luandi Siqi to speak. Luandi Siqi bowed slightly to Emperor Yong’an and said, “Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you.”

When Emperor Yong’an heard this, he became curious. He put down his chopsticks and gestured to Luandi Siqi to speak, “Da Huangzi, feel free to speak your mind.”

As soon as Emperor Yong’an said these words, the guests stopped talking and turned their attention to Luandi Siqi.

Luandi Siqi hesitated for a moment, but when he felt Luandi Liwan tugging on his robe, he finally said, “Your Majesty, as you know, my father sent us here to talk about the alliance between our two countries.”

Emperor Yong’an nodded, and Luandi Siqi continued, “Since ancient times, the best way to form an alliance between countries is through marriage. Tonight, I boldly request Your Majesty to let my younger sister choose a husband.”

After listening to his words, Emperor Yong’an leaned lazily on the dragon chair. He rested his chin on the back of his hand and looked at Luandi Liwan. The moment his eyes fell on her, Luandi Liwan felt a huge pressure on her body, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Feeling the cold aura fall on his younger sister’s body, Luandi Siqi took a step to the side and blocked Emperor Yong’an’s gaze.

Noticing Luandi Siqi’s small movement, Emperor Yong’an raised his eyebrows slightly. He smiled and said playfully, “It seems that Shisan Gongzhu is not satisfied with Zhen.”

As soon as these words came out, Luandi Siqi hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. My younger sister feels that she is not worthy of you and begged me to convey her request to you. As a gongzhu, she thinks she is more suitable to be a huangzi. However, since Your Majesty has no son yet, we dare to ask to choose from your brothers.”
