Chapter 903: Feast
The woman walked into the temple quickly, waved her hand slightly, and the maids in the hall saluted at the same time and respectfully retreated.
There is a graceful woman on the top, wearing a five-xia dress, exquisite makeup, noble bearing, although the pretty face barely remains calm, but in the depths of the black and white eyes, there will be a little expectation and uneasiness from time to time.
"Aunt Yun, he'...... Are you really back?" the woman's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
The woman said happily: "Rest assured, Qingyun Gong has indeed returned from the Sin Star Domain, and now his cultivation has skyrocketed to the strong realm of creation, and he has been canonized by His Majesty, and his status is supreme!"
Chengcheng covered his mouth, and the worries and torments of nearly a hundred years completely dissipated at this moment. There was a happy smile on her face, but there were large tears in her eyes.
The woman wiped the corners of her eyes, and her heart was slightly relieved. Over the years, the girl has endured her grief and forced a smile in front of Emperor Yan, others can't see the abnormality, but she can detect that something is wrong, and she has long been secretly anxious. Fortunately, now that Xiao Chen has returned, presumably the resentment in Miss's heart can dissipate a lot, and she will not make any more dangerous moves. All she thought was that Miss could be safe.
"Aunt Yun, I want to meet him, even if it's only for a while. ”
The woman's face was embarrassed, but in the girl's expectant and almost pleading gaze, she couldn't bear to refuse, "Niangniang, it's not appropriate for you to go to see Prince Xiao now, otherwise it will not only give people a reason to attack, but also may bring trouble to the prince." The slave maid has received accurate information, His Majesty will hold a canonization feast for the prince in three days, when the important ministers of the court and the magnates of the clan will participate, with the identity and grace of the mother, the banquet must have a place for you, and then you can naturally see Prince Xiao. ”
A little disappointment flashed in Chengcheng's eyes, what she wanted was to meet him in private, but she knew in her heart that what Aunt Yun said was the best choice, both for herself and not to cause trouble for Xiao Chen.
"Okay, then wait until three days later. ”

Xinuan Pavilion enjoys three days of leisure.
In the imperial palace, Xiao Chen is not worried about his own safety, otherwise Emperor Yan will definitely be to blame, attracting the world's doubts, and the light is in the imperial palace, if it is really inappropriate, he will also come to the rescue.
In an instant, the imperial palace feast arrived as scheduled.
The Imperial Palace's Internal Affairs Office was in urgent operation, and within three days, the new clothes of the Great Yan Princes had been woven, with the dragon and the gold silk texture exquisite and luxurious. Wearing a royal costume and a straight waist, Xiao Chen's increasingly majestic aura is more and more vividly displayed.
There were already close attendants waiting outside the Xinuan Pavilion, and when they saw Xiao Chen appear, they hurriedly saluted respectfully, turned around and led the way.
The feast was set up in the Changchun Palace, and before Xiao Chen entered the palace, there were attendants who shouted loudly, "King Yan Anshun has arrived!"
The voice came, and Shun Jin attracted countless eyes and looked at the entrance of the main hall. Xiao Chen stepped in, and between his expectations, there was a faint sense of majesty, which made people secretly awe in their hearts.
"The lower officials and others will see the prince!" In the main hall, the courtiers who had arrived bowed their hands one after another, their demeanor was respectful, and they did not dare to slack off. Although the king is a false lord, with Xiao Chen's cultivation, the title is just icing on the cake, even if it is not, it is enough to be proud of all the ministers in the palace, and he deserves to be respected.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up. Xiao Chen smiled and bowed his hand, his eyes swept in the hall, and he saw the three people of the Zhang family, Zhang Long, Zhang Xing, and Zhang Huan, who were looking at him with complicated eyes, resentment and fear, swept by his gaze, and at the same time lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
Xiao Chen didn't pay attention to the three of them, the ancestor of the Zhang family was deposed, if he was smart enough, he would never continue to struggle with him in the future before he was sure enough. Moreover, he doesn't think that the Zhang family can become his opponent in the future.
That being the case, naturally there is no need to waste time with them.
Under the respectful guidance of the close attendants, Xiao Chen sat down on the left side of the hall, and did not mean to continue to say more, but let the people who had originally wanted to come forward to talk secretly mutter, hesitate or give up the idea in their hearts.
Soon after taking his seat, the sharp voice of the attendant came, "Your Majesty has arrived, Concubine De has arrived, Concubine Liang has arrived, and Concubine Xuan has arrived." ”
Everyone in the hall stood up at the same time and saluted respectfully, "The ministers see Your Majesty, see the three mothers." ”
Emperor Yan's posture of dragon and tiger, stepping up to the nine-fold throne, the left side is the concubine and the concubine Liang, and the right side is the concubine Xuan, after sitting down, his eyes swept on both sides, and said with a smile: "Everyone, Aiqing is exempt, get up and take a seat." ”
The ministers thanked each other, and then they got up and sat down.
"Today's feast is to congratulate Xiao Qing on being crowned the throne of Anshun, and my Dayan has another one more powerful monk in the world, which is the blessing of my Dayan!
Naturally, everyone in the hall should raise their glasses.
Chengcheng was dressed in a costume, his eyes fell on Xiao Chen, his heart throbbed slightly, and he suddenly felt a sour feeling in his eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head to cover his face with his sleeves, and when he was drinking, he blocked his vision so as not to be seen inappropriately.
Xiao Chen drank it all, sensed a strange look in the eyes on his body, his eyes swept over Chengcheng, and saw that she was in the position of Concubine Xuan, and she could be ranked with Concubine De and Concubine Liang, and it could be seen that she was quite favored by Emperor Yan, and she felt a little melancholy in her heart.
Maybe the current life is not what she wants, but for Chengcheng, it is also the best destination.
The banquet was carried out, accompanied by the wine, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became lively, after the song and dance exited, the concubine Wu Ya suddenly got up and saluted to the Yan Emperor Yingying, she was born beautiful, the Yan Emperor special order, can keep the Xiongnu costumes, it has a unique charm.
"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that Concubine Xuan was intercepted and killed by the monks of Daqin and Dawei on the way to enter Dayan from Rongguo, and it was all up to the prince of Anshun to save him desperately, so that he could safely resist Jidu, I don't know if this is the case?"
Emperor Yan nodded with a smile and said, "What Concubine Liang said is good, Concubine Xuan was indeed hunted down and killed back then, and King Anshun protected Concubine Xuan unharmed, and made great contributions." ”
Wu Yasi showed a sweet smile on his face, "The concubine has also heard that when he was in the Rong Kingdom, the prince of Anshun took care of Concubine Xuan, thinking that it should be an old acquaintance, no wonder he would comfort and protect Concubine Xuan's safety regardless of his own body." Sister Xuanfei, I don't know if what my sister said is right?"
In the early years of the imperial palace, there were rumors about the rumors between Concubine Xuan and Xiao Chen, and it was only because Xiao Chen entered the Sin Star Domain that the matter gradually fell apart, but today it was mentioned again by Wu Yasi, obviously not just out of pure curiosity. If it can arouse the suspicion of Emperor Yan, the favor of Concubine Xuan will inevitably be reduced, and once she loses her favor, it seems that she will be beaten into a desperate situation for the concubine. The battle in the harem, seemingly ordinary, has a fierce killing machine.
Chengcheng chuckled lightly and said, "It seems that Sister Liangfei really cares about her sister, and she knows some old things so clearly." However, my sister is right, my sister and the prince of Anshun are indeed old acquaintances. Presumably, my sister should know that my sister was born in the Yuanhou Mansion of Rong Guowei, but I flew from the small thousand realms, and when I was in the abyss, I met the prince of Anshun and bought a piece of fire dragon jade from the prince. My sister was cold and poisonous in her early years, and she initially relied on this piece of fire dragon jade to save her life. In fact, everyone said that the prince of Anshun had saved the life of the palace when he escorted the palace into Dayan, but they didn't know that strictly speaking, this was the second life that the palace owed to the prince of Anshun. ”
Speaking of this, she turned to look at Emperor Yan, "Your Majesty, the concubine has always been grateful to Prince Anshun. If it weren't for the prince, it would be impossible for the concubine to enter the imperial palace and accompany His Majesty all the year round. At today's feast, I also ask Your Majesty to allow the concubine to personally toast a glass of wine to the prince of Anshun to show her gratitude. ”
Wu Yasi's original intention was to arouse Emperor Yan's suspicions, but his honest and frank statement seemed to be above board, which made people not suspicious, and understated it, so he resolved this assassination invisibly.
Emperor Yan said with a smile: "Concubine Xuan had already mentioned these things to me in her early years, so when the palace was talking about it, I personally ordered the cane to kill thirty-seven palace slaves and maids, and Concubine Liang didn't have to pay too much attention to it." ”
Wu Yasi's heart froze, and although Yan Huang smiled, she felt a chill rise, and her face turned slightly pale. looked at Concubine De, but saw that she lowered her head to drink tea and didn't think about her at all, and she couldn't help but hate it in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything more, and she lowered her head to be.
"Concubine Xuan's gratitude is reciprocated, please ask me to agree, so let's go to King Anshun for a cup. ”
Chengcheng stood up, "Thank you, Your Majesty." The maid beside her took the wine glass and filled it for her, slowly got up and dragged the hem of her long clothes, and walked towards His Highness.
Xiao Chen had already gotten up and said, "The minister is the minister of Dayan, the minister of His Majesty, and he will never dare to take credit for escorting his mother into the affairs of Dayan." ”
"The prince of Anshun is loyal to His Majesty and dedicated to the country, but in the eyes of this palace, it has saved my life twice. Chengcheng squatted slightly, and the wine glass was sent to him.
Xiao Chen returned the salute and said, "In this case, this king will thank Niangniang a lot." After speaking, he took the wine glass and drank it all.
Cheng Cheng bowed again, and then turned around and returned to his seat.
From beginning to end, the two of them did not show the slightest difference in their demeanor.
A feast, two hours later.
