A glint of darkness flashed in the eyes of the King of the Grasslands, yet his face maintained a doting smile, as if no matter what Qi Le said, he would take it gladly.
Instead, he expressed concern: "I've heard that you summoned the people of the Great Chu Diplomatic Mission, after all, the main envoy this time is the only bloodline left by your sister. I am worried that seeing relatives will remind you of the sadness of the Qi family, so I came to check on you."
Truly a considerate gesture.
But Qi Le simply lowered her eyelids with a calm expression, not speaking.
The King of the Grasslands had been married to Qi Le for many years and naturally knew this was a sign of her being in a bad mood. His heart skipped a beat as he glanced at the maids serving nearby, but remained silent.
He only consoled her by patting her hand: "The banquet is about to begin, we should get up. If you truly miss them, you can summon them a few more times while they are in Wang City!"
