Love You for the Rest of My Life-Chapter 1915 - 1914: The Queen Arrives

"Is it really that simple?" Gu Qibao blinked, clearly looking skeptical.

"What did you expect?" Di Mingchen retorted.

Gu Qibao chuckled, "I thought, I thought that little puppy Nangong Ran would have tackled you to the ground."

Tackled? Di Mingchen was stunned for a moment, suddenly recalling that she indeed had tackled him before, though that tackle was best forgotten.

"No, it didn’t happen." Di Mingchen glanced calmly at Gu Qibao, "Don’t think too much about it."

Gu Qibao raised an eyebrow and pursed her lips, feeling that this wasn’t making any sense!!

Di Mingchen stopped talking to Gu Qibao, and at that moment, the banquet began, everyone cheerful and lively as they started to savor the delicacies.

Suddenly, Gu Qibao exclaimed, "Second brother, where’s your coat?"

"I covered her with it," Di Mingchen replied.

Gu Qibao took a bite of the dish and nodded, eyes crinkling with a smile, "Not bad!"

At that moment, some guests came over to toast, so Gu Qibao couldn’t say much more.

At their table were all of the Empire’s bigwigs, so naturally, guests came over to toast and flatter them a bit.

So, the meal had barely started, yet they had already drunk quite a bit. But amidst the liveliness, someone arrived.

It was Alvin!

Behind Alvin followed a group of people, the most eye-catching being the woman beside him, dressed luxuriously with a crown on her head.

Upon his arrival, Alvin seemed extremely apologetic, hurriedly going up to Nangong Jin and Di Jinxuan, exclaiming, "Brother, I’m really sorry, I truly am. Something urgent came up, and I couldn’t arrive on time. I shall penalize myself!"

Nangong Jin stood up happily, not holding a grudge, "It’s good that you could come, it’s an honor."

Full of remorse, Alvin stepped forward to give Nangong Jin and Di Jinxuan a polite hug, then said, "Get me a goblet, I must punish myself, I must!"

Nangong Jin couldn’t refuse him, so he had someone fetch a goblet.

Nangong Jin then bowed, "Your Highness the Queen!"

The elegant and beautiful woman standing behind Alvin flashed a warm and enthusiastic smile, speaking in quite fluent Chinese, "Jin Palace, long time no see."

"Long time no see," Nangong Jin hurriedly extended his hand, apologetically saying, "I didn’t know you would grace us with your presence, it’s really..."

"No," the Queen politely interrupted Nangong Jin, "It is us who were impolite, not attending on time. It’s truly, very sorry!"

"Of course, not, you coming is truly an honor," Nangong Jin smiled, then turned to Li Hui, saying, "Mom, have someone prepare another table."

"Oh, alright, yes, yes," Li Hui quickly stood up, also quite embarrassed, "We apologize for not welcoming you properly, sorry, sorry, I’ll prepare it right away."

The Queen laughed, "Don’t be so formal, I just came to offer my blessings. I feel embarrassed myself for being late, and yet you’re being so courteous."

"Then everyone, please don’t stand on ceremony," Nangong Tiancheng stood up and said, "Today, everyone here is our best friend. Hui Mother, go set up another table."

"Alright. I’ll do it right away," Li Hui nodded immediately.

"I really didn’t expect you to come," Nangong Jin said, smiling at the Queen, then wrapped an arm around Di Jinxuan’s shoulder, "Let me introduce you, this is my beautiful bride, Di Jinxuan."

"Indeed very beautiful," the Queen complimented generously, stepping forward to embrace Di Jinxuan, gently kissing her on the forehead, "Beautiful girl, may the Lord always watch over you."

"Thank you, Queen," Di Jinxuan smiled, "Your long trip here has truly surprised us. We are grateful for your special visit to bless us; Xuanxuan feels deeply honored."
