"Am I not allowed to be disappointed?" Qi Qingyao complained as she said inexplicably, "What about the Capital City we talked about? Isn't the capital usually the most developed region in the country?" What was that outside they had seen? The houses seemed to be dilapidated, and the streets were filled with shabby vagabonds, similar to the chaotic streets of Qingzhou City! Where was the grandeur and cleanliness of the Capital City?

Lu Yan murmured, "Developed?"

Qi Qingyao rolled her eyes and said calmly, "It means having the most beautiful buildings and the cleanest grounds. The people there would be the most elegantly dressed. It would look like the capital of a country."

Lu Yan explained, "That's because we entered from the Gate of Western Wu. The western streets are messier... it's the shabbiest part of the Capital City."

"Oh... that's how it is." Qi Qingyao was suddenly enlightened.

She opened the carriage window once again and glanced outside. After the convoy passed three streets and exited the West Side of the Capital, Qi Qingyao retracted her gaze again. She huffed a short sound with her nose in annoyance.

"Hm..."

"Got any other thoughts?" Lu Yan asked.

Qi Qingyao concluded straightforwardly, "The overall prosperity of the Capital is inferior to that of Qingzhou City."

Lu Yan suddenly burst out in laughter. "Didn't I tell you before? Because of its koi temples, Qingzhou City is a place where the dignitaries and aristocrats from various countries love to migrate to after retirement—so it has indeed developed very well in recent years. I think... it is not only more prosperous than our Capital, but it is more prosperous than the capitals of other countries."

"Well... in that case, I've already seen the world" She was now a citizen from the big city.

Listening to the conversation between the two adults, the three children were suddenly no longer curious about the Capital...

Lu Yan said relaxedly, "So there's no need to be so nervous. Meeting Her Majesty is a very simple matter."

As soon as meeting Her Majesty was mentioned, Qi Qingyao's attention finally returned to the critical matter at hand. She thought for a moment, then asked with extremely deep eyes, "Hey, say the Emperor doesn't like me. What if she looking for an excuse to have me killed?"

"Why would she have you killed?" Lu Yan asked.

Qi Qingyao self-consciously touched her face and said, "Think about it. I'm not ugly... I'm not being narcissistic, but this appearance of mine is relatively beautiful. Didn't you say that the Emperor is a woman? What if Her Majesty has become jealous of my beauty... wouldn't that doom me?"

"...." What did her face have anything to do with her being doomed?

Qi Qingyao knew that he did not understand, so she continued.

"Besides, from a strategic point of view—I have Si Jin, the big boss, by my side. Si Jin's existence is my trump card, but it also presents a double-edged sword!

"The empress clearly intended to meet Si Jin on this occasion—it's just that she doesn't dare to invite him directly.

"She doesn't know whether Si Jin's allegiance is to me, or to Northern Liang. She's afraid that this uncontrollable grand master might decide to enter the palace and try to kill her... so she took a roundabout way to save the nation by deliberately asking me to go meet Her Majesty!
