Qin Mu asked.

"Of course I know him." Li Li Xueyan nodded and said, "I am, after all, a daughter of the imperial clan; I have seen all the princes and princesses in the palace. But speaking of this Crown Prince Li Li Chengqian, it’s a long story."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Qin Mu was also quite interested.

Earlier, when killing Empress Zhangsun Chong at the inn entrance, Li Li Chengqian had hidden aside early on, sitting on the ground and wetting himself in fear.

Qin Mu hadn't even noticed such a person nearby.

It is conceivable.

How low the presence of this Crown Prince Li Li Chengqian really was.

"Crown Prince Li Li Chengqian is considered the eldest legitimate son of the Emperor and the Empress; I heard that when he was born, the Emperor was still out on campaigns, and the Empress had him with her."

"Because this Crown Prince was born in the flames of war, the Emperor and Empress felt extremely guilty toward him and have always pampered him to the extreme."

"The Emperor announced him as Crown Prince as soon as he ascended the throne; one can imagine how much weight he carries in the Emperor’s heart."

"But as the Crown Prince grew up, everyone discovered a strange phenomenon: the Crown Prince’s appearance is truly hard to describe."

"Not only is he short, dark, and fat, but he also lacks any imperial temperament, acting timid and submissive all day long, as if he were foolish."

"More importantly, Li Li Chengqian doesn't look Wu Li Ke the Emperor or the Empress at all; not even a little bit. It is hard to imagine that the Empress, hailed as the greatest beauty of Great Tang, could have such a son."

Li Li Xueyan told the story of Li Li Chengqian in detail.

"Indeed, it is quite interesting."

Qin Mu nodded faintly, but a gloating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou’s appearance is indeed good, but who knows what his old man Li Er looks Wu Li Ke?

Probably not much better!

Wu Li Ke father, Wu Li Ke son!

With a father Wu Li Ke Li Er, what kind of good son could he produce?

Hehe!

"Husband, when you see him later, you will know what I mean."

Li Li Xueyan smiled gently.

The conference hall inside the inn.

Spacious and bright!

Li Li Chengqian sat in the conference hall, feeling uncomfortable all over.

He didn't want to see that terrifying Qin Mu again!

But there was no choice.

Things had reached this point.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji simply couldn't come forward to trade for the iron ore.

However.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji still hadn't given up!

He still wanted to trade the iron ore in his hands.

Coming to Jiannan Dao this time, he had already lost one son.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji didn't want to return empty-handed!

Because of this.

He had Li Li Chengqian come in his stead.

"The Great Qin Emperor has arrived!"

A voice suddenly rang out in the quiet conference hall.

Subsequently.

A tall and upright figure appeared before Li Li Chengqian.

Seeing Qin Mu’s face, Li Li Chengqian trembled all over.

It’s him!

He is the true flesh and blood of the Emperor and Empress!

He really looks Wu Li Ke the Emperor and Empress!

Suddenly.

A sense of evil jealousy arose in Li Li Chengqian’s heart.

Why?

Why is he born so handsome?

Why is his posture upright and his skin fair?

While I am thin, short, and dark, mocked behind my back as a black-skinned fat pig!

This is unfair!!!

Extreme imbalance in his heart made Li Li Chengqian burn with anger.

He longed to be on equal footing with Qin Mu!

Even at this moment.

The dazzling radiance on Qin Mu’s body made him afraid to even look directly at him.

"I assume this must be the Crown Prince of Great Tang?"

Qin Mu stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Li Li Chengqian, his expression somewhat complex.

Li Li Xueyan was right!

With his appearance and temperament, how is he Wu Li Ke the dignified Crown Prince of Great Tang? He is simply Wu Li Ke the son of a village woman.

Hehe!

Li Er has done all sorts of evil things; I didn't expect him to end up with such a son.

Truly retribution!

Looking at Li Li Chengqian’s appearance, Qin Mu felt very happy in his heart.

"Great Tang Crown Prince Li Li Chengqian pays respects to the Great Qin Emperor!"

Hearing Qin Mu’s words, Li Li Chengqian hurriedly bowed respectfully.

His palms were already soaked with sweat.

Standing before this young man, a powerful pressure naturally gathered in his heart, making it difficult even to breathe.

"Crown Prince, you are the heir to a nation; you shouldn't perform such a great bow to the sovereign of another nation."

Qin Mu calmly accepted Li Li Chengqian’s bow, not forgetting to tease him.

In such an era.

When engaging in diplomacy with other nations, a Crown Prince is Wu Li Ke the sovereign himself.

And Li Li Chengqian performing a kowtow bow was Wu Li Ke Li Er himself bowing to the Great Qin Emperor, Qin Mu...

The implication of such etiquette was too great!

This was equivalent to Great Tang submitting to Great Qin, willingly dividing into superior and inferior.

Li Li Chengqian only then realized his etiquette was a bit too much and hurriedly tried to straighten his back with difficulty, wanting to stand up straight.

But because he was too fat, he couldn't stand straight at all, making him look even more Wu Li Ke he was groveling.

"Crown Prince, you don't need to be so restrained; let’s sit down and talk slowly."

Looking at Li Li Chengqian’s clumsy movements, Qin Mu lost patience and walked straight to the main seat to sit down.

Li Li Chengqian finally felt relieved and hurriedly found a seat to sit down.

"Great Qin Emperor, then I will speak directly."

"I came here today to make a trade with your nation."

Li Li Chengqian said cautiously.

Before he came here, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji had already explained everything clearly.

"Crown Prince, I wonder if you want to trade with me, or if your uncle Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji wants to trade with me?" Qin Mu looked at Li Li Chengqian with a smile that wasn't a smile, his confident gaze seeing right through Li Li Chengqian.

"Ah, this..."

Li Li Chengqian was startled.

"Ah, this..."

Li Li Chengqian was startled.
