Chapter 307 Free play
Yan Yin's threatening words caused a slight commotion among the parliamentarians, but no one spoke to express their opposition or dissatisfaction.

Before the meeting started, everyone had communicated privately and reached a consensus, so no one was ignorant enough to jump out and sing a different tune.

Yan Yin took two steps back and looked towards the door of the parliament: "Now, please ask Ms. Bai Ying to come up and say a few words to everyone."

Xiao Qingque walked in slowly from outside the door. She had taken off her military uniform and put on an extremely gorgeous dress. She wore a laurel crown on her head and had done her makeup carefully. She looked as noble and beautiful as a princess from a story.

The most important thing is that her appearance is almost exactly the same as Bai Jun’s wife in the later video, and she is also somewhat similar to Bai Jun.

The congressmen looked at her carefully, and almost all of them showed satisfaction.

Before, they had only seen Xiao Qingque at the border on the Internet or on TV. Now that they saw it with their own eyes, they were sure that what Yan Yin said was true. Based on this appearance, this girl was indeed qualified to become the new banner of the Baiye Kingdom.

Of course, many people, like Yan Yin at the beginning, suspected that Xiao Qingque’s identity was fake.

Over the past two months, the investigation into Xiao Qingque has never stopped. Not only are people from Baiye Country investigating, but even Qinwang Territory and Yongle City have sent people to investigate.

A large group of people searched for more than two months, but still could not find out Xiao Qingque's origins.

If it was a fake, it would definitely leave traces that could not be covered up, but Xiao Qingque seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

Yan Yin also produced even more crucial evidence - the blood relationship test between Xiao Qingque, Bai Jun and his wife, which was something even more difficult to forge.

This is also the key for Yan Yin to persuade the parliament to recognize Xiao Qingque. Otherwise, even if she dared to make a fake one, the parliament would not dare to admit it. Otherwise, once it was discovered, the whole country would become a laughing stock.

Xiao Qingque walked to the front of the podium with confidence. Facing the gazes of hundreds of people, she held her head high and chest out, without any timidity or fear.

She originally had a mild social anxiety and didn't like crowded places, but once she was forced to work overtime, she immediately became like a different person and her fighting spirit increased rapidly.

The congressmen looked at the youthful Xiao Qingque with complicated expressions.

This is the descendant of Bai Jun. Even if she has no achievements, she naturally has a strong appeal in the Baiye Kingdom.

What's more, Yan Yin has tried every means to make Xiao Qingque a national heroine. Coupled with her identity as a descendant of Bai Jun, if the parliament does not recognize her, it will probably create extremely serious confrontation and division in the Baiye Kingdom.

The parliamentarians were not unwilling to admit it. They also hoped that Bai Jun or Bai Jun's descendants could return, but the prerequisite was that they could not be in Yan Yin's hands.

With Xiao Qingque in her hand, Yan Yin has the possibility to use the emperor to control the princes, which will make her already feared power even stronger, and this is what the parliamentarians do not want to see.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Qingque finally spoke.

"I know that some of you now doubt my origins, and some of you think that I am a puppet that can be manipulated by others."

When Xiao Qingque said this, everyone was stunned, including Yan Yin, of course.

Isn't this different from the prepared script?!
Originally, Xiao Qingque came to the parliament just to go through the formality of "recognizing relatives". Afterwards, the parliament would announce to the world that it recognized Xiao Qingque's identity as Princess Bai Jun.

Xiao Qingque's speech in the parliament had already been prepared by Yan Yin. It was nothing more than missing her parents, recalling her wandering first half of life, then expressing gratitude to Yan Yin for finding her, and stating that she would dedicate herself to the entire country in the future.

It was a highly formulaic set of speeches that all attendees had read in advance.

As soon as Xiao Qingque opened his mouth, he threw away the speech he had prepared long ago.

"No matter how you look at me, I don't care. I had no interest in coming to Baiye Country. I just came here because someone asked me to. So you have to understand one thing."

Xiao Qingque placed his hands on the podium and said loudly, "It is you who need me, not me who needs you, and I can walk away at any time. However, I am still willing to stay and help you, but the premise is that you must show me enough sincerity. If any of you do something behind closed doors, don't blame me for not accompanying you. That's it, adjourn the meeting!"

These extremely impolite and threatening words left the congressmen dumbfounded.

Yan Yin also frowned deeply and began to wonder who taught Xiao Qingque to say this.

Is it the Astrology Palace? Or is it the mysterious envoy?

The only thing that was certain was that Xiao Qingque was completely out of her control.

No, perhaps from the very beginning, she had never succeeded in controlling this girl. In the past two months, Xiao Qingque's obedience to Yan Yin was probably just an illusion.

Not long after Xiao Qingque finished speaking, the parliamentarians came to their senses.

However, they did not get angry at Xiao Qingque's extremely impolite remarks. Instead, they began to applaud.

"Clap clap clap!"

In a blink of an eye, applause resounded throughout the entire aristocratic parliament, and some older members were almost in tears.

That’s right, this is the descendant of Bai Jun!

Xiao Qingque's demeanor and tone are exactly the same as those of Bai Jun back then. He is a strong king who does not allow others to question him.

After twenty-one years, this group of noble gentlemen finally enjoyed the "cordial" greetings from Mr. Bai again.

Moreover, Xiao Qingque's unscripted speech also proved that she was not Yan Yin's puppet, which gave the congressmen an opportunity to win her over.

The warm applause made Xiao Qingque a little dumbfounded.

Before coming, Yan Yin set rules and regulations for her, telling her what to say and what not to say, but Shen Cheng let her express herself freely.

As long as she didn't do anything stupid, she could do anything. Ning Qing also privately analyzed the current power situation of Baiye Kingdom for her, so that she understood the struggle between Yan Yin and the parliament.

So Xiao Qingque decided to take this opportunity to play freely.

Her original intention was to show that she was not someone who could be messed with, but at the same time she also wanted to leave a way out, hoping that these people would not be so blind as to cause trouble for her.

As a result, I don’t know what touched the g-spot of these people, which made them so excited and happy.

Xiao Qingque turned to look at Yan Yin, and Yan Yin had recovered from being caught off guard and said with a smile: "You said it very well."

She realized that she had underestimated Xiao Qingque from the very beginning. He was definitely not a puppet who could be manipulated by anyone.

As expected of His Highness Bai Jun's child, she is very good at seizing opportunities, and in one move she managed to end up losing more than she gained.

In the final voting session, all the members voted unanimously in favor, and Xiao Qingque officially became the legal Princess Baijun of the Baiye Kingdom.

All the members of parliament stood up, placed one hand on their chest and bowed to her.

Including Yan Yin, who knelt on one knee on the ground as the regent minister, took Xiao Qingque's hand and kissed it to show his submission.

At this moment, watching the proud Yan Yin kneel down in submission, watching this group of nobles bowing to him, Xiao Qingque vaguely felt something in his body stirring, as if it was about to break out of its shell. On that day, the Baiye government announced a major news - Baiye finally found their missing princess who had been missing for 21 years, and it had been certified by the regent and the entire noble council.

Of course, this princess is Xiao Qingque, there is no other candidate.

If it wasn't her, many people would not agree, including Xiao Qingque's fanatical fans.

In just two months, Xiao Qingque has accumulated a large number of loyal fans on the Internet, far exceeding any big star.

After all, she is more beautiful than any star, fired the first shot in the counterattack against the Qin Wangling, and is Princess Baijun who has been missing for twenty-one years.

With so many buffs added up, she is now the most sought-after figure in the entire Baiye Kingdom. This is also the result of the indulgence and support of the entire Baiye Kingdom's upper echelons.

Once her identity as a princess is successfully confirmed, Xiao Qingque will become a new banner of the Baiye Kingdom, giving her an indestructible golden body, and even the Baiye Kingdom itself will not dare to destroy her.

After the news was announced, the White Night Kingdom announced that it would hold a grand return ceremony next week, inviting people from all over the country to participate, and even foreign envoys were invited.

The popularity of this news instantly overshadowed the border standoff. The entire White Night Country was engaged in heated discussions and expectations. People under the age of 20 had never imagined that this country would one day be so vibrant.

……

Inside the palace, in a room.

"Mr. Envoy, this is what you wanted."

Yan Yin handed Shen Cheng an exquisite invitation letter.

This invitation letter came from Yongle City, specifically inviting Yan Yin to participate in the grand celebration held every three years.

The city of Yongle City has nothing to do with the Yongle that Shen Cheng heard about in his previous life.

The "Yongle" here means eternal happiness and everlasting joy.

Jin Xing is unlike the other two blood kings. He has a cheerful personality, likes to show off and have fun, and has spent countless manpower and material resources to personally build a giant entertainment city.

After years of operation and development, this entertainment city named Yongle City by Jin Xing can be said to be the most luxurious and high-end entertainment center in the world, attracting wealthy people from all over the world.

Any rich man who has never been to Yongle City is considered to be ignorant and incompetent.

Every three years, Yongle City holds a grand entertainment celebration and invites celebrities from all over the world to participate.

At that time, Jin Xing will even appear in person to give a speech.

Yan Yin would receive invitations to every entertainment celebration, but she would ignore them every time.

Because the situation in the country was enough to make her anxious and overwhelmed, she had no interest in participating in any entertainment celebrations. Moreover, Yongle City, like the Qinwang Territory, had been bullying the Baiye Kingdom and encroaching on their territory.

Faced with such hostile forces, Yan Yin was already polite enough by not giving them a few big slaps. How could she possibly participate in their activities?

This time, Yongle City sent an invitation letter as usual, but Yan Yin did not throw the invitation letter into the trash can as usual, but gave it to Shen Cheng.

Because Shen Cheng was going to test Jin Xing's true situation next, this invitation letter just gave him an identity and pass.

Shen Cheng took the invitation letter and opened it.

The wording on the invitation was very enthusiastic, friendly and polite. Just by looking at the invitation, I would have thought that Baiye Kingdom and Yongle City were some friendly and close countries.

The space for writing the name on the invitation letter is blank, which means that this is an invitation letter of the highest level, allowing the Baiye Kingdom to fill in their name at will, and anyone who goes to Yongle City will receive the highest level of treatment.

Although Bai Jun has disappeared, the Baiye Kingdom is still one of the three major forces in the Eternal Empire. It has both strength and foundation. Neither the Qinwang Territory nor Yongle City will look down on it and will naturally give it the highest treatment.

Seeing Shen Cheng put away the invitation letter, Yan Yin asked: "Do you need me to send someone to accompany you?"

Shen Cheng did not reject Yan Yin's suggestion. It would be good to have more people to help, as they might be needed someday.

"Thank you. I will obey your command."

"You're welcome. This is what we should do as allies."

An alliance has been formed between the Baiye Kingdom and the Astrology Palace. Of course, this alliance is secret and has not been announced to the public.

However, this kind of secret alliance will more or less be known outside, and the spies inside Bai Ye country will also pass the news out, so the secret will be kept secret for as long as possible.

Yan Yin then asked, "When are you going to leave?"

She was unusually polite to Shen Cheng, because over the past two months, Yan Yin had already vaguely figured out how strong Shen Cheng was, and knew that this was a powerful force that any country would envy.

As a mature politician, Yan Yin naturally knows how to humble himself to curry favor and win over others.

"Wait until the return ceremony you hold is over."

Shen Cheng turned his head and looked at Xiao Qingque who was practicing the princess's manners not far away: "I'm leaving her to you. You have to take good care of her for me."

"She is Princess Baijun, the pride of our entire Baiye Country. No one can bully her."

Yan Yin spoke of her promise to Shen Cheng, but what she was thinking about in her heart was the relationship between Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque. They were not like lovers, nor like friends.

But there is no doubt that these two people must be united in honor and disgrace and have an extremely close relationship.

Xiao Qingque has the Astrology Palace behind her, as well as a powerful male partner like Shen Cheng. In addition, she herself is capable and is not the kind of person who can be controlled by others.

Yan Yin could already foresee that if Xiao Qingque was allowed to continue growing like this, perhaps she would become the true ruler of the entire Baiye Kingdom like her father.

"National interests and personal ambitions sometimes complement each other, but sometimes conflict with each other."

Shen Cheng suddenly turned around and looked at Yan Yin: "It is common for personal ambitions to be blocked. We can seek common ground while reserving differences, or have healthy competition, but we absolutely do not allow competition without bottom line. Your Excellency the Regent, do you agree?"

Facing Shen Cheng's calm gaze, Yan Yin was slightly stunned.

It has been many years since anyone dared to threaten him in person like this.

Shen Cheng's words were quite straightforward. He had seen through Yan Yin's personal ambition, which was to become the supreme ruler of this country. If Xiao Qingque continued to develop, with the support of the parliamentarians, he would most likely become an obstacle to Yan Yin.

So Shen Cheng gave Yan Yin a warning, you can have healthy competition with Xiao Qingque, but you are absolutely not allowed to use unscrupulous means.
