V46 Palace Banquet Contest 1
"Xiaomo, it's really you!" Nangong Ying came back to her senses, saw the person in front of her clearly, and suddenly became inexplicably excited, forgetting the pain on her body.
"Xiaomo?!" Xuanyuan also saw him clearly, stood up from his seat suddenly, and stepped forward with the corner of his skirt. The smile on her beautiful little face is as beautiful as a quiet orchid, elegant and noble.
Zheng Nan shouted with joy, and the joy of reunion was revealed on his little face.
Contrary to their cheerful expressions, Cao Zhi looked at Yun Xiaomo, and his face couldn't help but show panic and disbelief. Didn't those people have already arrested him? Why did he appear here again? His mood was very complicated, and after disbelief and panic, there was a deep hatred.
Yun Xiaomo bent his eyes and smiled slightly, looking at the little friends in front of him, and his heart swelled with joy.
"Xiaomo, where have you been? We have been looking for you in the town for a long time, but we haven't found you, and we thought you were ......," Xuanyuan said.
"I have something to do, I'm in a hurry, and I forgot to tell you. Yun Xiaomo didn't plan to tell her what happened that day, which made Cao Zhi secretly relieved, but seeing that his cousin cared about him so much, the jealousy in his heart became even stronger.
Nangong Ying flattened her mouth, looked at Yun Xiaomo and Xuanyuan Jian'er left and right, she hugged Yun Xiaomo's arm, looked at Xuanyuan Jian'er with a little guarded eyes and said: "Xiaomo is mine, we are engaged, you don't want to beat his idea!"
The corners of Yun Xiaomo's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Zheng Nan, and suddenly wanted to find a hole to get into. It's really not good at making friends, how did he make such a friend who doesn't speak reliably?
Xuanyuan frowned slightly, her eyes rolled, a faint gaze drifted over Yun Xiaomo's face, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she wrote lightly: "You are really interesting, do you believe in such a thing as engagement?"
Nangong Ying's face sank, and she pouted: "Why can't I believe it? My imperial grandfather told me that my marriage with Xiaomo, but he and Xiaomo's mother agreed, so can it be fake?"
Xuanyuan smiled shallowly again, her noble temperament was fully revealed, and she said in a pleasant voice: "But I also heard that Xiaomo's mother, that is, Aunt Yun, was also engaged to Prince Jing of Nanxi Kingdom back then. But in the end, it's not that Aunt Yun hasn't married Prince Jing? So, the marriages of adults are never counted, and who Xiaomo will marry in the future depends on his own wishes. ”
"I—Why don't I know?" Nangong Ying's face suddenly darkened, pouting, and looking aggrieved that she was about to cry.
Jokes, Xuanyuan Ying'er has inquired about Yun Xiaomo's life experience clearly, Nangong Ying's reckless and scheming temperament, how can she fight Xuanyuan Jian'er, who has been instilled with all kinds of tricks since she was a child?
Two or three sentences crushed Nangong Ying's self-confidence.
"Everyone in the world knows about this. You and Xiaomo know each other, but you don't know about it, how can you be called his true friend?" Xuanyuan Xiao'er still said lightly, but these words were four or two thousand pounds, which gave Nangong Ying a heavy blow. Yes, she claims to be Xiaomo's friend, but she doesn't even know such a big thing, how can she be worthy of being called his friend?
"Woo...... You all lied to me!" Nangong Ying opened her mouth, hugged Yun Xiaomo's arm, and cried whining.
Yun Xiaomo's brows furrowed slightly, and he turned his head to stare at Xuanyuan Xuan'er, he had finally changed his opinion of her before, but he didn't want her to be so scheming, don't think he couldn't hear that she was deliberately sowing discord.
Xuanyuan was secretly smug, and suddenly received his cold glare, her mouth pursed, and her gloomy color flashed.
"Okay, Sakura, don't cry!" Yun Xiaomo lowered his head and comforted Nangong Sakura, who was crying like a cat, showing a helpless look, he really couldn't understand what was going on in her little head. Getting married, that's a distant thing, he never thought of marrying Sakurako. As long as he thinks of Sakurako's pungent and savage character, he shiveres all over, not cute at all, or a quiet and gentle girl like Xiao Jing, just like a real girl.
Dongfang Yunxiang paced out of the inner hall, and when he saw the children playing among them, Rumo's eyebrows were lightly raised, and the corners of his lips twitched, revealing a knowing smile. It seems that his Xiaomo is really popular, at such a young age, there are already girls who are jealous of him, and when he grows up in the future, what will he do?
Just as he was about to step forward to persuade, a mean voice interjected: "An idiot is an idiot, being casually said two sentences, just crying like this, people like you also come to participate in the Holy Boy election, it is simply an insult to my son!"
Dongfang Yunxiang stopped his pace and hid behind the screen of the inner hall, ready to observe for a while.
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that it was still the young man in Tsing Yi who spoke, and everyone had different expressions on their faces.
Nangong Ying was crying sadly, and suddenly heard his words so vicious, she wowed, and cried even more earth-shatteringly: "Xiaomo...... He was the one who bullied me...... You must avenge me!"
Yun Xiaomo looked at her, and suddenly his head became two bigger. Xiaobai put on a red fig leaf, standing on Yun Xiaomo's shoulder quite stylishly, and when he heard Nangong Ying's loud cry, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, a little unbearable.
Before Yun Xiaomo could respond, Xuanyuan had already stood up, faced the young man in Tsing Yi, hooked his lips and said with a light smile: "I heard that you are one of the holy children in the Holy Palace, and you are the younger brother of the Earth Dragon Venerable, Song Xiu. It is rumored that you are both civil and military, and you are the most outstanding one among all the teenagers of the same age in the Holy Palace. At the age of nine this year, the Xuan Rank has reached the peak of the Purple Xuan, and he is the first prodigy of the Holy Palace, is what I said wrong?"
The young man in Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows unruly, and said proudly: "You have a little knowledge." ”
Xuanyuan lowered her eyes slightly, a glint flashed under her eyes, her little hand was lightly raised, and she elegantly picked the sideburns in front of her forehead, slowly raised her eyes, and her beautiful eyes burst out with a wise light, she smiled and said: "Then I understand! It turns out that the people of the Holy Palace like to bully the small, bully the weak, and especially like to bully young girls, such people can become the Holy Child candidates of the Holy Palace, it is indeed very insulting!"
She deliberately accentuated the last sentence so that everyone present could hear it clearly.
Everyone's eyes suddenly shifted from Yun Xiaomo's body to Xuanyuan Jian'er's body again, her small body, but she has unlimited energy, like a luminous body, which cannot be ignored.
What a little princess who is proud of heaven, when it comes to resourcefulness, all the children of the same age present are probably not her opponents!
Elder Fu squinted, with a fine light in his eyes, and bowed his head at her frequently.
After Song Xiu heard her words, a slender face suddenly distorted, and they stood up suddenly. He didn't hide the purple aura on his body at all, and walked towards Xuanyuan Xuan'er step by step, his momentum was compelling.
"You have the ability, you say it again!" What kind of person is Song Xiu? He grew up in the Holy Palace since he was a child, and he is used to being arrogant. In the holy palace, his own brother Song Xi is covered, and no one dares to touch him, plus he is talented and deeply favored by the palace master and elders, so this unruly temperament is even more unruly.
This time, the Holy Palace decided to select four gifted children from among the children of various countries to fill the vacancies of the Four Venerables and accumulate talents for the Holy Palace. He is one of the holy children who are determined, as for the other three people who will win the election in this holy child selection, he looks down on people outside the holy palace from the bottom of his heart, this time he followed Elder Fu and a group of people from the holy palace to come to the Tanglin Kingdom to select the holy child candidates, he has always looked at people with a condescending attitude, and he did not pay attention to the prodigies from all countries who came to participate in the palace banquet today. But now, it was a little girl who provoked his self-esteem, how could he still endure it?
In the entire hall, most of the people were watching the show, and no one planned to stop this farce. First, this is a dispute between the children, let the children solve it by themselves, which is conducive to the envoys of various countries to gain insight into the true strength of each child;
Elder Fu sat upright in place, his face dark, and he didn't intend to stop it.
Behind the screen, Dongfang Yunxiang took a slight step under his feet, paused again, and made a strange gesture on his hand.
The eunuch who followed him glanced at his gesture strangely, only to feel as if there was a gust of wind behind him, and when he looked back, he saw nothing. He was confused, and he didn't understand what the emperor meant.
In the main hall, Song Xiu approached Xuanyuan Xuan'er step by step, accompanied by an unstoppable purple Xuan Qi, and the air in the main hall was constantly fluctuating due to his pace and anger.
The air was full of murderous energy.
Xuanyuan stood still in place, standing still, with his head raised and incomparably noble. In the eyes of outsiders, she was not afraid of Song Xiu's step-by-step pressing, but only she knew that her palms were already wet with sweat.
"Anyway, it's not the first time you've bullied a girl younger than you, so why do the same thing again?"
Song Xiu was half a head above her, staring at her from above, angry and annoyed in his heart. Looking at the little girl in front of him, he only needed a little force to knock her down with one punch, but in front of her clear and fearless eyes, his heart shook suddenly, and he couldn't bear to attack her.
"Your name is Xuanyuan Xuan'er, right? I remember you!" he snorted coldly, instantly retracting the aura on his body and giving her a fierce glare.
Xuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, if he really hit her, she might not be able to dodge. But this person is indeed too arrogant, she is a dignified princess of heaven, he doesn't pay attention to it at all, and he is aggressive, which is really hateful. Her eyes flashed, and it was best not to let her get a chance, otherwise, she would definitely let him walk around without food!
At this time, Song Xiu suddenly shifted his gaze, his sharp gaze fell on Yun Xiaomo's body, and he raised his voice: "You, I want to compete with you!"
The appearance of Fang Cai Yun Xiaomo, his handsome light skills, attracted his attention. Now he is holding his stomach full of anger and has nowhere to vent, so he just catches him to vent.
Yun Xiaomo was patting Nangong Ying's back and coaxing her, when someone suddenly challenged him, he blinked innocently, shook his head and said, "I don't want it!"
Song Xiu's face froze, he didn't expect him to reply like this, and he was a little speechless for a moment. He used to find someone to challenge, but the other party was either afraid to retreat and dare not fight, or he faced the battle with face, and he had never seen anyone refuse to compete with any neatness.
"You, you have to compete with me! For the sake of you being a short man, I'll let you make three moves!"
Yun Xiaomo still shook his head and said, "I don't want it!" Hmph, saying that he was short...... Wait and see! Yun Xiaomo secretly stabbed him in his heart.
Song Xiu suddenly became annoyed and angry, glared at him angrily and said, "I bullied your friend, don't you want to avenge her?"
Yun Xiaomo was still unmoved, shook his head and said, "It's no good, why should I compete with you?"
"Then what benefits do you want?" Song Xiu said angrily, I have never seen such a person, and it is more beneficial than martial arts?
Yun Xiaomo tilted his head and thought about it, his gaze fell obliquely on the storage ring on Song Xiu's hand, thinking that he was from the Holy Palace, so he must have collected a lot of good things, if he could move all the things in his storage ring to his own storage ring, hehe......
"If I win, I want the ring on your hand!"
Song Xiu followed the direction of his finger, his eyelids jumped, the most valuable thing on his body was this storage ring, what was hidden there were all kinds of treasures that his brothers, palace masters, and elders had given before, and the ring itself was priceless, not to mention the treasures inside.
"If you're afraid of losing, forget it, I didn't want to compete with you anyway. Seeing him hesitate, Yun Xiaomo shook his head, not taking it seriously at all.
Song Xiu gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay, if you lose, I want the ring on your hand!" He also found out that the ring on the other party's hand was not ordinary, it should be the same as his, and it belonged to the same category as the storage ring.
Yun Xiaomo shook his head without thinking about it: "Don't! It's you who want to compete with me, and it's not that I want to compete, why should I bet with you with the ring?"
Song Xiu was stunned in place, so angry that he vomited blood, he never knew that it was so difficult to find someone to compete, and in a hurry, he actually responded: "Okay, I'll bet you with the ring on my hand! If you win, I'll give you the ring!"
Hmph, stinky boy, see how I'm going to clean you up later!
Song Xiu has always been very confident in his martial arts, just a stinky boy, will he still lose to him?
If you lose, just wait to eat Ben Gongzi's fist!
A hint of ruthlessness flashed on Song Xiu's face.
Nangong Ying wiped her tears, pulled Yun Xiaomo's arm, and said, "Xiaomo, you must beat him hard and avenge me!"
Yun Xiaomo curled his lips and smiled, noncommittal.
Xuanyuan turned his head to look at Yun Xiaomo, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but step forward and said: "Xiaomo, you don't have to pay attention to him! This is the palace of the Tanglin Kingdom, but it is not a place for him to go wild! If he dares to mess around at will, someone will naturally clean him up!"
When Song Xiu heard her say this, the anger in his chest became even stronger. She made it clear that she was protecting Yun Xiaomo, what was so good about him that he was worthy of her protection? In addition to anger, there was a trace of jealousy in her heart.
Yun Xiaomo pursed his lips and said with a faint smile: "Since it is beneficial, why not compare?" The same Purple Xuan Realm, he didn't believe that he would be able to defeat him, the other party bullied his friends, and insulted himself as a short man, if he didn't fight back like this, wouldn't he be too easy to bully?
The two children, one high and one low, looked at each other, and the silent flames of war were quietly ignited.
At this time, a chant came from the inner hall: "The emperor has arrived!"
Under the attention of everyone, a bright yellow figure slowly paced out from behind the screen of the inner hall, bringing the Qinghua of the first hall. The envoys of various countries looked at Dongfang Yunxiang in amazement, this was the first time that Dongfang Yunxiang saw Dongfang Yunxiang's true face after he ascended the throne.
Among the envoys, there were also many who had seen Dongfang Yunxiang in the past, but in the past, Dongfang Yunxiang gave people the impression that he was sick and pale, but today's Dongfang Yunxiang has completely subverted the image in their hearts, so dazzling, so radiant, especially the bright yellow dragon robe, which makes his slender body more upright and handsome, outstanding.
Where is this still the second prince of the Tanglin Kingdom, who was riddled with stubborn illnesses and had no quarrel with the world in the past? This kind of oriental cloud soaring made the envoys of various countries feel the pressure.
Dongfang Yunxiang's faint gaze swept across the audience, the audience was silent, and when his gaze fell on Yun Xiaomo's body, a soft light flashed in his bright eyes, and he beckoned to Yun Xiaomo, and said in an elegant voice: "Xiaomo, you are the master here, it is not polite to compete with guests at will." ”
His voice broke the silence of the scene, and everyone came back to their senses one after another, kneeling down to worship. Although they are envoys of other countries, in front of the new emperor of Tanglin Kingdom, they still have to perform the courtesy of monarchs and ministers.
In an instant, the entire hall, except for Elder Fu, the unruly Song Xiu and Yun Xiaomo, the people who knelt on the ground shouted long live.
Dongfang Yunxiang ignored the people who knelt in the hall, just smiled gently, pulled Yun Xiaomo to his side, and sat next to him on the dragon chair.
"Xiaomo, do you like this seat?" Dongfang Yunxiang asked softly.
Yun Xiaomo shook his little feet, touched the dragon chair left and right, and pouted: "It's too hard, cold, it would be nice if you put more soft and warm seat cushions." ”
Dongfang Yunxiang chuckled, amused by his innocent words.
"Do you hear that? Why don't you hurry up and prepare a soft and warm seat cushion?" His faint gaze drifted to the eunuch under the seat, with a bit of deterrence, the eunuch hurriedly took the order and prepared the seat cushion.
The conversation between the father and son seems ordinary, but it is enough for the envoys who are still kneeling below to ponder carefully, this new emperor, I'm afraid it's not simple, he is deliberately giving them a dismount, so that they can see clearly who is the real powerhouse among the many countries in the Aotian Continent.
Elder Fu squinted his eyes and looked at Dongfang Yunxiang on the dragon throne, the playfulness on his lips became stronger, it seemed that today's harvest was really not small, and he found a lot of interesting things.
Yun Xiaomo shook his little feet, looked down at the people who were kneeling on the ground under His Highness, and suddenly stretched out his little finger and pointed at Elder Fu and Song Xiudao: "Uncle Xiang, why are everyone else kneeling, but the two of them don't kneel?"
Song Xiu was pointed at by his little hand, and hurriedly replied to him with a cold glare, joke, he is a holy boy in the Holy Palace, why let him kneel?
Elder Fu touched his chin intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was smiling but not smiling, unfathomable.
They are the people of the Holy Palace, the monarchs of the five countries have to be polite to them when they see them, it would be good that he didn't let Dongfang Yunxiang bow down to him, how could he make him kneel to Dongfang Yunxiang in turn?
Those who were still kneeling on the ground all had a look of good fun, Dongfang Yunxiang deliberately hung them to demonstrate, they confessed, who let them be on other people's territory now?
Most of the people were waiting to see Dongfang Yunxiang's good show, but unexpectedly, Dongfang Yunxiang just smiled shallowly and wrote lightly: "Then why didn't Xiaomo kneel?"
"Well, because Xiaomo is Uncle Xiang's righteous son, Uncle Xiang didn't let Xiaomo kneel, so Xiaomo didn't kneel. Yun Xiaomo replied truthfully, and finally added, "Hey, are they like this?"
Dongfang Yunxiang bent his lips shallowly, smiling without saying a word.
Elder Fu's face suddenly darkened, although it was a child's words, but Dongfang Yunxiang's reaction clearly agreed with his words and embarrassed them.
"Your Majesty, could it be that this is the hospitality of the Tanglin Kingdom?" Elder Fu's deep gaze swept around, as if he was speaking for the envoys who knelt on the ground, but in fact he was asking him for intentional neglect.
Dongfang Yunxiang's eyes darkened, and then he raised his hand and said, "Everyone is a guest from afar, please take a seat." ”
His Royal Highness's people thanked him one after another and got up, and after everyone took their seats one after another, he slowly turned his head, looked in the direction of Elder Fu, and said in a non-salty and non-trivial tone: "The affairs in the palace have been busy these days, and I have neglected Elder Fu, please forgive me." I heard that Elder Fu wants to hold a general election for the Holy Child in three days, but I wonder if Elder Fu has a specific campaign plan? Is there any special need?"
"Regarding the Holy Boy's election, the old man already has a detailed case in his heart, so he doesn't have to worry about it. The old man is here only to select talents for the Holy Palace, and as for the rest, the old man is not interested or interested. Elder Fu's words hinted at the change of imperial power and the struggle for power in the Tanglin Kingdom in the near future, and at the same time expressed his own attitude.
In a sense, the status of the Sacred Palace is above the Tanglin Kingdom, and the monarch of the Tanglin Kingdom is transposed, and the Sacred Palace is bound to intervene, but Elder Fu himself is not interested in these power struggles, so he doesn't want to interfere, he just wants to win excellent talents for the Sacred Palace.
Dongfang Yunxiang's eyes flashed slightly, but he was a little surprised by Elder Fu's attitude, and he had to admit that Elder Fu was very different from the arrogant and invincible people of the Holy Palace he had seen before, and his attitude towards him was a little more polite.
If Elder Fu has any other requests, you can just mention them, and I will definitely cooperate with Elder Fu to hold this Holy Boy election. ”
He raised his glass and saluted each other from afar, "I wish Elder Fu the best of luck and the right talents. ”
His slender neck lifted up slightly, and he drank a glass of fruit wine.
Elder Fu clearly sensed the change in his attitude, raised his eyebrows and smiled, abandoning his previous unhappiness, and also raised his neck and drank it all.
As the two drank the water and wine, the atmosphere of the hall gradually merged, and the envoys of various countries stood up one after another to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne. Dongfang Yunxiang accepted the congratulations of the envoys with a smile, and under the gentle appearance, there was a faint indifference and alienation, which made it difficult for the envoys to figure it out.
The fruit wine in his hand was glass after glass, but Dongfang Yunxiang's whole person seemed to be fine, except for the slight glow on his fair cheeks, there was nothing unusual.
Yun Xiaomo sat beside him, eating fruit while exchanging glances with the friends in His Highness's seat.
Nangong Ying's temper came and went quickly, and she was still crying like a cat face, but now she has nothing to do, while eating food, she winks and laughs at Yun Xiaomo.
Zheng Nan is like a little adult, sitting upright, even eating, taking small bites, very cautious, as if he is a trumpet version of Master Zheng.
Yun Xiaomo's gaze crossed the two of them and looked at the table between Xuanyuan and Cao Zhi, and it happened that Xuanyuan Jian'er was also observing him, and the two met their eyes.
Xuanyuan was becoming more and more curious about him, she knew before that he was the little prince of Nanxi Kingdom, and in the blink of an eye, she became the little prince of Tanglin Kingdom again, how many secrets did she not know about him?
No wonder he has been coming to the Tanglin Palace before, it turns out that there is a father-in-law here, and this father-in-law is also the newly enthroned emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom, which is really incredible.
She curled her lips at him and smiled, smiling toothlessly, but still beautiful as a lan, with a unique style.
Cao Zhi tilted his head and saw the eye contact between the two, and the hands under the table clenched violently.
It's disgusting! This kid has so many identities!
Where the hell can I find those people who want to deal with the stinky boy? If the stinky boy doesn't get rid of it for a day, he won't be in a good mood for a day.
On the opposite side of them, another gaze was cast in the direction of Xuanyuan Yu'er, Song Xiu himself couldn't understand why he was suddenly interested in this arrogant and noble little girl, Xu is just when she faced herself, the queen's momentum and fearless eyes shocked him, right?
Inexplicably, his eyes kept drifting to where she was, he liked smart and confident people, and he preferred people with strength, and she had both, she was the wisest and most beautiful and lovely girl he had ever seen among his peers. A strong ** rose in his heart, he wanted this little girl, take her for himself, and become a favorite toy of his own, except for him, no one can take her away!
He seemed to see the hunter of his prey, and his dark eyes suddenly lit up, and two predatory lights burst out from them.
At this time, Xuanyuan Yan'er curled his lips and smiled in the direction of Yun Xiaomo, but the small movement deeply stimulated him. His elite eyes drifted in the direction of Yun Xiaomo, his eyes sharpened, and he stood up.
He pointed in the direction of Yun Xiaomo and said in an arrogant tone: "You! You come out now and give me a try. ”
