Chapter 786 People from the Martial Kingdom
After some deliberation, Meng Qingge decided to go and see Qingfeng Tower.
The gatekeepers naturally recognized Meng Qingge and not only waived their entrance fees but also arranged VIP seats for them.
As night fell, Qingfeng Tower lit up with colorful lanterns, making the entire hall lively and bustling.
The central position in the hall was reserved for the envoys from Chiyang Pavilion, with Bai Tiantian and Fan Li seated on either side, a gesture of respect to the host.
The delegations from Wu Kingdom, Nanwu Kingdom, Zhu Kingdom, and Xizhu Kingdom were also located near the center, radiating outwards to merchants and celebrities who came from afar.
At this moment, the envoy from Chiyang Pavilion had not yet appeared, and everyone in the hall harbored their own secrets.
The eyes of the various delegations were almost all focused on Bai Tiantian. Her golden armor alone was very eye-catching, not to mention her illustrious battle record.
They needed to remember Bai Tiantian's appearance and pass the message on.
If a war really breaks out with the Daye Dynasty in the future, we must avoid Bai Tiantian, that freak.
Fan Li was somewhat annoyed by the lack of attention she received.
"Bai Tiantian, don't be too smug. Let's see if you can still laugh when the list of extraordinary people is announced," Fan Li thought to himself.
Diplomatic missions from various countries are also watching each other closely, trying to understand each other's identities.
In case the Daye Dynasty ever goes mad, they should be able to look out for each other.
Meng Qingge was closest to the center, but was blocked by dozens of guards and could not get close to the delegations.
Although the envoys from various countries all had yellow skin, their skin color still varied due to the different latitudes.
Meng Qingge quickly spotted the Wu Kingdom delegation, whose skin color was similar to her own. She wanted to ask them something, but dared not utter a sound.
"Are you the Wu Kingdom delegation?" Yun'er shouted.
The young girl's courage in openly engaging in dialogue with diplomatic missions from various countries is commendable.
The previously noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and thousands of eyes all turned to Yun'er and Meng Qingge.
Han Jiji, the organizer, immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He knew the relationship between Meng Qingge and Lin Ping and was determined not to let her get into danger, but he dared not provoke these fierce-looking guards.
Sure enough, two guards carrying long spears walked over angrily.
"Tell me, are you the Wu Kingdom delegation?" When she found that the other party did not respond, Yun'er raised her voice again.
"Your Highness, we seem to be quite popular." Xia Yeran smiled faintly, her expression intriguing.
Xia Linglong was also surprised; he didn't remember having any friends in Kyoto.
"I'm afraid it's just a romantic debt you owe," Xia Linglong replied meaningfully.
Xia Yeran once served as an official in the capital, where he certainly had some connections. With his dashing appearance, he could easily incur romantic entanglements.
They naturally wouldn't respond before the host country made a statement, lest they cause any further complications.
"Do you think you can just shout at foreign delegations like that? Arrest them and bring them to the Ministry of Justice for trial!" the head guard said angrily.
"Please calm down, sir. This is just a misunderstanding." Han Jiji rushed over, regretting that he had arranged for Meng Qingge to be in the closest position.
"The Black Iron Guards are handling a case, how dare you interfere? Get out of the way!" A guard forcefully pushed Han Jiji aside and walked menacingly in front of Yun'er.
As the two Black Iron Guards approached, Yun'er was terrified, and even Meng Qingge was somewhat unsettled.
“This is my maid. If you want to arrest someone, arrest me instead.” Meng Qingge stood in front of Yun’er.
"Take her with you." The Black Iron Guard had no intention of giving her face.
The commotion had already caught Bai Tiantian's attention. Although he had never met Meng Qingge, he had met Rou'er and immediately recognized their identities.
"Wait, let them in," Bai Tiantian said authoritatively without being angry.
These words not only startled the Black Iron Guard, but also puzzled everyone present.
The Meng family is just a second-rate family. What makes them so special that they can be associated with Bai Tiantian? This is a sure sign of their rise to power.
When their leader spoke, the Black Iron Guards had no reason not to obey, and respectfully made way for him.
Bai Tiantian waved to them, signaling them to stand beside him. Only in this way could Meng Qingge be qualified to stay in the inner circle.
Having been in the business world for several years, Meng Qingge understands these basic social skills.
Even if she's unwilling, she'll have to be tied to Bai Tiantian from now on.
Having another powerful backer is never a bad thing. Even the four major families cling to Fan Li's coattails, don't they?
Meng Qingge should be aware that Bai Tiantian only has the Meng family under her control, not the so-called four major families.
On her way to Bai Tiantian, Yun'er couldn't help but approach the Wu Kingdom delegation. This time, she lowered her voice and asked, "Are you the Wu Kingdom delegation?"
Since Meng Qingge was able to get Bai Tiantian's help, she must have some extraordinary abilities. If she still doesn't answer, it would be disrespectful to Bai Tiantian.
"I am the Crown Prince of Wu Kingdom. May I ask what this young lady has to say?" Xia Linglong's tone was still respectful. He had no reason to get angry with a mere maid.
"Did Young Master Lin Ping come along too? My young lady has long admired Young Master Lin and has come to pay her a visit!" Yun'er asked excitedly.
Upon hearing the name Lin Ping, Xia Linglong and the others were somewhat surprised. They not only exchanged glances but also secretly observed Xia Linglong's expression.
This brings her romantic entanglements to the Great Ye Dynasty; how could Xia Linglong not be angry?
"I wonder who your young lady is..." Xia Yeran asked hurriedly, trying to defuse the crisis.
"Miss, they are the Wu Kingdom delegation, and they know Young Master Lin Ping," Yun'er said happily, holding Meng Qingge's hand.
Over the course of several months, they wrote countless letters to this young master Chen from the Wu Kingdom, and now that they were about to meet him in person, they were naturally excited.
"This humble woman is Meng Qingge. I greet the Crown Prince and all the gentlemen," Meng Qingge said with a slight bow, her manner refined and courteous.
Upon closer inspection, Xia Yeran and the others were completely stunned by her beauty.
Although Xia Linglong is beautiful, she prefers a neutral style of dress, while her partner is a true lady from a prominent family, whose words and actions are admirable.
"Meng Qingge? You really are Meng Qingge?" The person behind her stared at her pretty face in surprise, looking her up and down.
When he looked at her like that, Meng Qingge felt a little shy, her face flushed, which made her look even more beautiful.
To avoid being impolite, she forced a nod and said, "That is indeed me."
"I never imagined that the powder on the faces of women from your Daye Dynasty would be whiter than flour," the other person said irritably, his words full of disdain.
Everyone was stunned by his words, and even Xia Linglong, who hadn't said a word, wanted to kick him.
This clearly means that Meng Qingge applied a thick layer of face powder, otherwise her face wouldn't be so fair.
Meng Qingge was both ashamed and angry, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
This is a tremendous insult to a woman.
“My young lady is not one of those common beauties; she is naturally beautiful,” Yun’er said, pouting.
"Then where did all those pockmarks on your face go?" the other person asked in surprise.
