Walking into the garden of Yanwangfu, in the cold winter season, the grass and trees withered and lost their greenness. There are still a few budding plum trees in the garden. The cold wind blows, and the fragrance of flowers is ushered in with the wind. The fragrance is light and elegant.

Chu Qiao walked among them, only to hear the sound of broken words in the garden in front of him. Walking in, there were four or five young ladies of the small jasper family wandering around the garden, making fun of each other.

"Miss Chu, the first few young ladies are the daughters of the local government, and today Your Majesty held a banquet, and they came with their families to be lively." Shisu said on the side.

"Oh," Chu Qiao responded lightly.

"Many officials came today, with congratulatory gifts, to think that Your Majesty celebrated the victory in the New Year's War." Shiso continued.

"Well, let's avoid them and go to the banquet." Chu Qiao said lightly.

"Nuo" Zisu took Chu Qiao around the few people in front of him and continued to walk towards the palace of the banquet.

Walking through the garden, walking into the courtyard path, five or six maidservants in front of them walked inside and outside the palace gate with melons, fruits and drinks for the banquet, and the guards guarding the door saw Chu Qiao, saluted respectfully, and said loudly:

"Lord Chu has arrived."

Chu Qiao tidied up his clothes and stepped into the hall. Holding the Remnant Rainbow Sword in his hand, his pace was steady and even. His eyes looked at Yan Xun, who was sitting in a high position and wearing a purple dress, the maid next to him was pouring wine for him, and the ministers below were talking in small voices.

When the ministers saw Chu Qiao walking in, they immediately fell silent. I saw a general's robe, a ponytail tied with a high bundle, a long sword in his hand, and an indifferent face.

Chu Qiao walked to the central trail not far from the high position, knelt down and said to Yan Xun:

"Warrior Chu Qiao, come to meet my emperor, I wish my emperor a happy new year, good luck in the coming year, and all wishes come true."

Yan Xun looked at Chu Qiao who came over, not wearing the clothes he had sent, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, but he still had a rare smile on his face.

"Get up, Achu, I'm glad you can come to the banquet. Take a seat" Yan Xun motioned to the guards beside him with his eyes, and asked the guards to take Achu to sit, only below the high position on the right side of his position. When the ministers below saw this, they couldn't help but be shocked. Such a position is a sign of the queen's status in the future. The local officials who didn't know Chu Qiao before gave Chu Qiao a little more eyes. The generals who knew Chu Qiao were also nervous about His Majesty's move.

This is Yan Xun in front of everyone, showing everyone that Chu Qiao's status in his heart is unmatched and surpassed by no one.

Seeing that Chu Qiao was also seated. Yan Xun picked up the wine glass in front of him, stood up, and said to the ministers:

"Since I returned to Yanbei from Chang'an, I have been all the way hard, and there have been many battles. Thanks to the presence of all the generals and soldiers, I, Yan Xun, would like to thank you again. ”

When all the ministers saw His Majesty standing up and toasting them, they hurriedly got up to greet them.

"The ministers swear allegiance to Your Majesty," the generals replied in unison.

Then drink this first glass of wine with Yan Xun.

"Since I came here, the army's food, shelter and travel. Thanks to the support of the local officials. This time, I, Yan Xun, also toast you. "Look at the glass that is poured to the brim and drink it all.

"This year, we have continued to fight, and although we have not succeeded in overthrowing the Great Wei, we have also inflicted heavy losses on the Great Wei. In the coming year, we will continue to work hard, take out the momentum of Yanbei boys, and avenge the dead relatives and generals. ”

"Long live my emperor, swear allegiance to my emperor" The ministers bowed in unison and shouted.

"Let's take a seat, tonight is the New Year's banquet, don't be restrained, drink the wine, don't get drunk and don't return."

Chu Qiao looked at all this indifferently, and his heart became colder and colder. Is this still the Yan Xun she knows? Perhaps, as he acted, it seemed like I never really knew him.

Yan Xun turned around and raised his glass to Chu Qiao's side, looked at the indifferent Chu Qiao and said:

"Achu, thank you for always being by my side all these years. Encourage me, help me, and when I am most lost, you have been with me through it; When I was most helpless, you were always with me; When I was most in danger, it was you who tried to protect me by all means. I salute you for this wine. ”

Yan Xun raised his glass and drank the first time since he escaped from Chang'an to raise a glass to her on such an occasion.
