If the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky is a grand meeting of the people, then the phoenix banquet is a grand event of the Qing clan.

When night falls, the end of the ceremony of worshipping the heavens in Dongcheng does not mean the end of the prosperity of Yingdu. Representatives and young people of the Qing clan who lived in the North Palace rode a luxurious carriage to the palace to participate in this banquet that belonged to them.

On the streets of Xicheng, a simple carriage walked slowly, and the old horse pulling it was panting and moving forward with a heavy look, and soon came to the gate of the palace of Yingdu. At this time, the gate of the royal palace was extremely lively, and countless luxurious carriages stopped in the open space, and the drivers were talking and chatting with each other.

When the humble carriage slowly drove in, it instantly attracted countless eyes. The coachman's whispered expression was full of disdain, obviously looking down on the humble carriage. After all, the Qing family who came to the palace for a banquet, no matter how difficult the family situation was. will also show the best side, so as not to lose the face of his Qing family.

Not to mention these Qing clan coachmen, even the clan soldiers guarding the palace gate, also frowned slightly.

And as the old horse continued to move forward with the simple carriage, it obviously had no intention of stopping, which made the soldiers guarding the palace gate angry.

The palace is forbidden, and horse-drawn carriages and horseback riding are not allowed in the palace.

"Stop" shouted the clan soldiers guarding the palace gate, and suddenly dozens of clan soldiers at the palace gate were full of vigilance with spears in their hands and aimed at the stopped carriage.

"Crazy, don't they know about the palace ban," said the coachman.

A coachman mercilessly mocked, "It must be a powerful Qing clan in other counties, and he was lucky enough to be summoned by the king to participate in the phoenix banquet, and he ignored the rules when he thought he was favored."

Suddenly, a coachman retorted, "Even if you don't know the rules, you can't be so reckless."

"Could it be the people of that place," said the coachman, who thought something in surprise.

The coachman outside the palace gate kept discussing, some laughing, some disdainful, and some sneering. But the soldiers guarding the palace gate waited solemnly and watched closely at the big man in the carriage.

The soldiers of the clan guarding the palace were all the elite of the Tiangui Army, and they were all cultivators of the Cave Xuan Realm, so it was naturally impossible for them to be blind, and they were lazily leaning on the carriage as if they were sleeping in the big man, which put great pressure on them, so that they had to be cautious.

"The palace is forbidden, no trespassing," the clan soldiers led by him said in a deep voice.

The big man opened his eyes sleepily, looked at the clan soldiers guarding the palace gate with a light expression, and his body straightened up and then moved forward slightly, like a beast ready to hunt, which suddenly made the palace gate clan soldiers feel like they were facing a great enemy.

"Chu Man," an old voice came from inside the carriage.

Chu Man pouted slightly, and suddenly felt bored, and then took out something from the thick Chu suit and threw it at the general on duty guarding the palace gate.

The general on duty did not perceive the danger, caught the thing thrown by Chu Man, and carefully saw that it was a wooden plaque, carved a person holding a spear on his side, and turned the wooden plaque to look at the back was a big martial character. At that moment, the general on duty was stunned in place, and the hand holding the wooden card couldn't help but tremble, which made the rest of the clan soldiers guarding the palace gate curious, and also made the Qing clan coachmen around curious.

Chu Man frowned and said impatiently, "Can we go in?"

The general on duty immediately reacted and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, of course"

The old horse pulling the cart was once again weak to move forward.

When the old horse and the simple carriage entered the palace gate, the quiet palace gate suddenly became noisy. The coachman of the Qing clan was extremely surprised, and the clan soldiers on duty looked at their general in disbelief.

A coachman who had a good relationship with the general on duty quietly asked, "General, why can they go in"

No matter how small the driver's voice is, it is difficult to hide it, after all, they are listening carefully. The general on duty looked at the coachman, did not say anything, just waved his hand to let the other party leave, and then looked respectfully at the simple carriage that was gradually moving away.

The phoenix banquet is held in the palace garden, the usually quiet palace garden is extremely lively tonight, the palace temple people and maids shuttle back and forth, holding the delicacies made by the palace cooks, and constantly send them to the wooden table placed in the garden.

The representatives of the Qing clan who came to talk and chat with each other, often looking in the direction of the rockery, and did not know what they were thinking. As for the young people of the Qing clan who came, their eyes were more on the attic wooden pavilion on the left side of the garden.

In front of the rockery, Lu Qikun chatted with his classmates in the Academy of Literature, but his eyes were in the attic wooden pavilion on the left side of the garden.

There is the family of the Chu royal family, except for the queen and wife of the king of Chu, there are many princesses in the direct and side lines of the royal family, and the most conspicuous of them is naturally Princess Qingque.

Tonight's Qingque princess is extremely beautiful and dazzling, a black hair pours down, the light makeup looks extremely beautiful, a royal special Chu costume perfectly supports the figure and temperament of Qingque, among many princesses, Qingque is like the white moon in the night, making many stars lose their minds.

Qingque naturally noticed Lu Qiqian, smiled and then continued to look at the garden, looking for someone.

"Sister Qingque, what are you looking for" Suddenly a playful voice came, and a girl who looked like Qingque came to Qingque's side.

Qingque smiled and shook her head and didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of endless loss.

The girl said enviously, "Sister Qingque, the true dragon of the Lu family has been watching you for a long time."

Qingque smiled and said, "Your brother Bosu has also been watching you for a long time."

The girl's cheeks immediately flushed like ripe apples.

Qingque smiled and continued to tease, "Our little Mi Xing has been slim and elegant, so that the ruling lord's wooden fish pimple grandson has also opened up."

Mi Xing said shyly, "Sister Qingque, don't talk nonsense, and I have someone I like."

Mi Xing couldn't help but think of the memories of the scenes, as well as the time spent with him, and couldn't help but show a happy and gentle appearance, completely without the usual rudeness and willfulness.

Qingque was slightly surprised and said, "Since Xiao Mixing has someone he likes, but Xiao Mixing has not been saying that he wants to marry Brother Bosu since he was a child."

"The Prince Arrives"

When Mi Xing was just about to speak, the sharp voice of the temple man sounded.
