Chen Pingping smiled and said, "I promised you before that I would get you a batch of rare birds and animals. They are almost arriving in Kyoto.

Your Majesty has spies in my house, so the rare birds and animals in the house cannot be given to you.

So I specially asked someone to ship it back to you from another place.

Give me an address, and I'll have someone deliver it to you when the goods arrive!"

Li Chengyuan slapped his forehead when he heard this.

Good heavens, if Chen Pingping hadn't mentioned this, he would have almost forgotten that the system also rewarded him with a pet gift package that he hadn't opened yet!

fair enough.

When Chen Pingping's batch of rare birds and animals arrive, he will think of a way to set up a pet park!

Li Chengyuan didn't hesitate and directly reported a Qingyun Business Alliance base to Chen Pingping.

"This is the address of my Chamber of Commerce. Just give them the goods!"

"Okay! I'll take note!" Chen Pingping carefully put away the address.

After chatting for a few more words, Li Chengyuan finally turned around and left.

In the bedroom, Chen Pingping looked at the secret letter in his hand and slowly fell into deep thought.

Although Li Chengyuan said he was 7% sure, Chen Pingping still wanted to help Li Chengyuan find out the gaps and fill them in as much as possible.

No matter what the cost, he would not let Li Chengyuan be in any danger.

...... 7

Three days passed in a flash!

On this day, Si Lili's superstition was finally delivered to Shangjing City at the fastest speed after being delivered by carrier pigeons and galloping horses.

In the Northern Qi Palace, Haitang Duoduo, the beautiful and carefree Saint of Northern Qi, met the young Emperor Zhan Doudou after reporting to the emperor.

Zhan Doudou was reading in the pavilion. Seeing Haitang Duoduo coming over, Zhan Doudou smiled and said, "Little Sister-in-law, how come you have the leisure to come to see me?"

Haitang Duoduo walked over with a lazy pace, and then replied helplessly: "I don't want to come either! But there is no other way. This matter is very important, so I have to come in person!"

"What's the matter?" Zhan Doudou asked in a serious tone.

Haitang Duoduo reached into her bosom, pulled out a letter, handed it to Zhan Doudou, and said, "Si Lili has sent a message!"

Zhan Doudou was shocked, and hurriedly took the letter and opened it to read.

P.S. Thank you for your continued urging and reward. I may have had the flu these past two days, so I'm not feeling well. For now, I can only guarantee a daily update of 10,000 words. I'll definitely update more for you all once I'm back in a couple of days!

Chapter 137 Zhan Doudou and Haitang Duoduo are both moved! Fan Xian becomes the deputy reception envoy!

Northern Qi Imperial Palace, Imperial Garden.

Haitang Duoduo picked up an orange and started peeling it as if no one was around.

Beside her, Zhan Doudou was carefully reading Si Lili's letter.

At first, Zhan Doudou's expression was still normal.

But as he read more and more, Zhan Doudou's expression became more and more varied, and he became more and more shocked. In the end, he even opened his mouth unconsciously.

Haitang Duoduo didn't notice at first, but seeing Zhan Doudou's increasingly surprised expression, she became curious and asked, "What's wrong, Your Majesty? What happened to Miss Lili?"

"No!" Zhan Doudou shook her head and said, "Lili is fine now!"

"Where is she now?" Haitang Duoduo asked curiously.

"She is in Prince Li's Mansion in Nanqing!" Zhan Doudou replied with emotion.

When Si Lili escaped from Kyoto, not only did the Qing Kingdom care about her, but the Northern Qi Kingdom was also very busy for her.

However, due to Li Chengyuan's intervention, Si Lili disappeared out of thin air and no one knew where she went.

Northern Qi sent out many spies to search for Si Lili's whereabouts.

Even several "hidden chess pieces" were used for this purpose.

But unfortunately, after the investigation, nothing was found.

This time when the Northern Qi delegation went to the Kingdom of Qing, Zhan Doudou specifically ordered that Si Lili should be used as a bargaining chip, and that the Kingdom of Qing should help find Si Lili no matter what.

However, Zhan Doudou did not expect that before the Northern Qi delegation arrived in Qing Kingdom, Si Lili actually took the initiative to write a letter.

What Zhan Doudou didn't expect was that Si Lili actually hooked up with the prince of Qing.

Upon hearing this, Haitang Duoduo asked in surprise, "Prince Li's Mansion? The Third Prince of Nanqing?"

"Yeah!" Zhan Doudou nodded and said, "Lili said that when she failed to escape in disguise, it was Li Chengyuan, the third prince of Nanqing, who saved her.

After Li Chengyuan rescued her, he hid her in the palace and promised to send her back later!"

Begonia 15 opened their mouths and said, "So, Lili and that Li Chengyuan...they..."

Zhan Doudou didn't say anything.

Haitang Duoduo understood everything and fell silent immediately.

Zhan Doudou didn't seem unhappy at all. He continued reading the letter and said as he read:

"Lili's letter said that Li Chengyuan has always wanted to come to Northern Qi, so she suggested that I invite Li Chengyuan to Northern Qi on the pretext of cultural exchange between the two countries!"

"Invite Li Chengyuan? Why invite him?" Haitang Duoduo looked indifferent.

She has no interest in princes or anything like that.

Zhan Doudou smiled and said softly, "Li Li said that Li Chengyuan is a hospitable person. If he comes, he will definitely give me a lot of 'local specialties'!"

"???" Haitang Duoduo's face was full of questions. She asked in confusion, "Local specialties? That's all? Lili was drugged by that Third Prince, right? What's so rare about Qing Country's local specialties?"

Zhan Doudou pursed her lips and said, "Little Sister, don't look down on Li Chengyuan. His local specialties are quite special!"

Haitang Duoduo curled her lips and said, "What's so special about it? It's just some food and drinks. It's not like we can't get them!"

"Really?" Zhan Doudou frowned frivolously and smiled, "Li Li's letter said that Li Chengyuan's mansion has a rare precious tea called Linglong Jade Tea. It is said that drinking this tea regularly can improve one's physique and understanding, as well as invigorate the mind and nourish the complexion!"

"What? Improving one's aptitude and comprehension?" Haitang Duoduo exclaimed, then shook her head decisively, "That's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"I don't believe it either, but Lili said she's personally tried it many times and it's really effective! And..." Zhan Doudou said with a serious look in her eyes, "The letter also said that Li Chengyuan has a female expert named Blue Bird!"

"I know her!" Haitang Duoduo said, "She defeated the swift swordsman Xie Bian with one move. Li Chengyuan even wrote a poem for her, 'I want to compare Qinghu to Qingnv, light makeup or heavy makeup always suits her!' This poem is now highly praised in our country's literary circles!"

"Yes, that's her!" Zhan Dou nodded and said, "Li Li said that this Blue Bird is very young, only 19 years old this year, the same age as Li Chengyuan. But her cultivation is at the peak of the ninth rank!"

"What? 19 years old???" Haitang Duoduo was shocked.

Haitang Duoduo believes that she has the strongest talent among the younger generation.

As Ku He's last disciple and the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi, Haitang Duoduo has reason to be proud of herself for reaching the peak of the ninth rank at such a young age.

But even so, she is already 22 this year.

But now Si Lili said that this blue bird was at the same level as her, but was three years younger than her?

This suddenly gave Haitang Duoduo, who was usually lazy and indifferent, a stronger desire to win.

But then she suddenly realized something and turned around to ask, "Your Majesty, are you saying that this Blue Bird has such high cultivation at such a young age? Is it possible that this is related to the Exquisite Jade Tea?"

"That possibility can't be ruled out!" Zhan Doudou said. "Besides the exquisite jade tea, it's said that Li Chengyuan also has a kind of fruit wine that can improve your complexion and beauty, as well as a variety of fresh delicacies!"

"Fruit wine that can nourish the skin and beautify the skin?" Upon hearing this, Haitang Duoduo's eyes suddenly lit up. "Your Majesty, is this really possible?"

"Yeah!" Zhan Doudou nodded. "Lili said that she doesn't practice martial arts, so she can't measure the effect of the exquisite jade tea on improving her bones and comprehension. But she drinks the beauty fruit wine every day, and the effect is very, very good!"

"Come! We must let this...this Li Chengyuan come!" Haitang Duoduo said immediately, "Your Majesty, this Li Chengyuan sounds like a treasure! Since he wants to come, let him come. We must make sure he doesn't leave after he comes!"

Zhan Doudou nodded and said, "I think so too. Lili also said that Li Chengyuan has a new book that has not yet been published!

I am extremely fond of her talent, especially the books she wrote, which I like very much.

So logically speaking, I hope he comes.

but......"

Zhan Doudou's smile faded as he pondered, "There's one thing I can't understand. Why would Li Chengyuan, a prince of Qing, be willing to go on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi?"

Haitang Duoduo said, "Maybe she just likes traveling?"

Zhan Doudou shook his head and said, "According to the information obtained by the Jinyiwei, this Li Chengyuan is very trusted by the Emperor of Nanqing. Recently, he has been devoting all his efforts to his training and wants to support him to become the new heir apparent!

At this critical moment, what Li Chengyuan should do most is to stay in Qing Kingdom, consolidate his power in the court, and avoid any accidents.

But at this critical moment, he actually wanted to come to Northern Qi.

And we have to take the initiative to invite him!

This kind of thing is obviously very abnormal!"

Haitang Duoduo scratched her head. She never liked this kind of intrigue, so she asked directly, "So, Your Majesty means that he won't be allowed to come?"

"No! I want him to come! And he must come!" Zhan Doudou chuckled softly, "When a prince of a country is willing to take the initiative to go on a diplomatic mission to another country, there are only two possibilities. The first is that he wants to get involved and disrupt the government of Qi to achieve his own secret.

But now that my Qi State has just been defeated, it is time for Nanqing to enjoy the fruits of victory. There is really no need to let the prince of a country come and take risks.

What's more, even if he has ulterior motives, as a prince, without the support of Qing Kingdom, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything even if he came to my Qi Kingdom.

So the possibility is very small.”

"What about the second possibility?" Haitang Duoduo asked curiously.

"The second possibility..." Zhan Doudou's eyes flashed, and he said in a serious tone, "The second possibility is that Li Chengyuan encountered a life-or-death crisis in Nanqing.

For example, Emperor Nanqing may have cultivated him in order to praise him to death.

Or there may be other dangers that force him to go on a diplomatic mission to another country to avoid the crisis.

For this purpose, he specially asked Si Lili to write a letter to us, promising so many benefits in the letter.

It is to show goodwill to us so that we can agree to him.

Moreover, Li Chengyuan had long seen through Li Li's identity, but he never exposed her. He even went to great lengths to save her. This also shows that he has no hostility towards our Qi State!

So if I am not mistaken, he came here this time to form an alliance with me!"

Haitang Duoduo suddenly realized, "That actually makes sense.

If he comes, we can use him to influence the court of Qing Kingdom.

Even if we can help him become emperor..."
