Rebirth: So what if my husband is a little crazy? He loves me.

Chapter 295 Ah Li, Pay Attention to Me

Lin Wan'er understood Shen Li's gaze and nodded almost imperceptibly to show her understanding.

As the officials gradually arrived, the atmosphere of the banquet became lively, with constant greetings and pleasantries.

Shen Li saw Li Rui, whom she hadn't seen for some time. He was dressed in a purple python robe, looking incredibly noble, but he still had a teasing look on his face when he saw her.

Li Rui's table was placed first below the emperor's, and opposite him was the King of Chess, dressed in a dark gold python robe. The King of Chess no longer looked at his younger brother with the same friendly gaze as before.

The King of Chess treated Li Rui in a completely different way than he treated the Crown Prince. He was arrogant towards the Crown Prince, but not to the point of hatred, since he had taken the Crown Prince's position.

But it was different for Li Rui. Seeing that the fruits of his hard-won defeat of the Crown Prince were about to be snatched away by this young upstart, Prince Yi was practically ready to devour him.

Li Rui treated his elder brother with great respect, but his demeanor still betrayed his former playboy ways, and he even sat down with an unsteady posture.

King Yi was even angrier when he saw this. How dare such a worthless person compete with him? His father must be senile to have chosen such a young upstart.

Shen Li was not surprised by his previous attitude. What she cared about was Li Rui's condition, but he seemed to be the same as usual, and there was no indication that he had started a relationship.

Gu Chang'an saw that his Ah Li seemed calm on the surface, but after looking around, he felt that she should not be an imperial censor or a Hanlin scholar, but should be a member of the Flying Fish Guard.

She probably can't hide any information from anyone.

"Ah Li, have some fruit." Gu Chang'an fed Shen Li the grapes that had been presented as tribute.

Shen Li initially ignored him, but her heart softened when she turned around. At this moment, Gu Chang'an practically had the words "Pay attention to me" etched on his forehead.

"Thank you, my husband." Shen Li felt that matters of the court were important, but her husband's affairs were even more important, so she withdrew her gaze and smiled sweetly at Gu Chang'an.

Gu Chang'an was certain that what had just flashed through Xiao A Li's mind must not have been anything easy, and it was remarkable that she could still find the time to comfort him.

"Is something on your mind, Ah Li?" he asked in a low voice. "Or are you in trouble right now?"

Shen Li then told Yuwen He the details of the matter, which she had not mentioned before. It was not that she intentionally kept it from him, but rather that her superhuman strength was not suitable for her to pretend to be weak.

Gu Chang'an almost choked on his own saliva after hearing this. He had heard of Yuwen He before. He was the bravest general and vanguard of the Great Liang. It turned out that it was his Ah Li who had captured him.

Although he had already witnessed Ah Li's strength, he still needed time to adjust when that knowledge was applied to reality.

"It's alright, just don't admit it," Gu Chang'an said calmly.

Shen Li laughed upon hearing this, as it was similar to her method; indeed, scholars were more shameless than the opposing military officers.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived! His Majesty the Empress has arrived! His Highness the Imperial Concubine has arrived!" The eunuch announced, and all the officials fell silent. After the three were seated, they rose and bowed.

The Emperor and Consort Zheng remained as radiant as ever. Consort Zheng, in particular, had shaken off the despondency that followed when her portrait was burned and her nephew was killed. In her early forties, she was still dazzling and charming.

In contrast, the Empress, though of similar age, looked much more haggard. Although she still maintained her dignified and elegant demeanor, she appeared weak and listless.

After everyone paid their respects and took their seats, the imperial edict was announced, and the envoys from various countries took their seats.

As the group entered the hall, Shen Li immediately spotted the first Hu princess who walked in, dressed in a blue-purple long dress.
