Chapter 118: The Feast of Rewards

The weather was just right, the blue sky was clear and spotless.

The golden sunlight shone from the clouds, shining on the roof of the palace covered with yellow glazed tiles, faintly revealing the holy light.

Although the palace of 'Fushou Palace' is not as exquisite as the 'Yong'an Palace', it is a flowing water. However, the walls of the palace are decorated with brightly colored, rich and gorgeous Soviet-style paintings, which are said to have been personally created by the founding emperor for the favorite concubines found among the people at that time.

But also because of the pampering of the six palaces, it is the same for a while. The crown prince who succeeded to the throne later was the son-in-law of the queen mother, the main lord of the East Palace.

The woman who took away her father from a young age was very disgusted, and the next day after the old emperor died, he ordered the concubine to be buried, and this 'Fushou Palace' also declined, and no one mentioned it.

Until this time, the Emperor Taishang brought back the 'adopted daughter', and the emperor decreed that she was named 'Princess Heshuo' and used this palace as the princess's mansion, and everyone was a little unbelievable at first hearing.

But even so, the celebrities in front of the emperor, the former harem, and the princes and concubines did not rush to congratulate.

After all, she is the daughter of the Emperor Taishang who has 150,000 heavy troops, and if she can marry home, it will undoubtedly add another guarantee to the cloud seat.

And the ladies of the official eunuch family also take this as a good opportunity to get to know the royal nobles, if they can really get into the other party's blue eyes and be selected as a close friend in the boudoir, they will also have more help for their own marriage in the future.

Therefore, today's 'Reward Banquet' can be described as crowded and lively.

The prince was dressed in a dark robe, with a golden crown and a straight body. Although he has a face that is extremely similar to Chu Zexi, those narrow Danfeng eyes seem to hide conspiracy and calculation, and he is obviously smiling and greeting, but it always makes people feel cold.

Today, he has been reminded by his mother-queen mother, he must win the affection of this foreign princess and little sister, and must not let other princes have the opportunity to deliberately get close and win over.

Therefore, in addition to the eldest prince who rushed back from the border pass to congratulate him, he could say a few more words, and the second prince and the sixth prince came over to say hello, and they were forcibly blocked by the prince in the middle and "invited" people away.

As for Chu Zexi, he has always had a weak personality, and he knows the "truth", but he just stared at the two 'protectors' on the left and the right beside the 'Princess Heshuo' from a distance.

However, with such a door god in the way, there is no harm to their plans, and they are happy to be at ease.

The most stumbling thing for everyone is His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, who has always been known as the "Little Overlord of Southern Chu", although he also participated in the banquet, but since he was woken up by Xia Qingyi after the Gu in that day, he clamored to marry her, and thought about running to the 'Yong'an Palace' every day. You can't stop it.

So this time he also came to the banquet with the 'false saint'. Speaking of this woman who pretended to be Xia Qingyi, she is really a smart person, she is humble and polite to everyone on the surface, and she advances and retreats in moderation.

But although he has a smile at everyone, he is not as good as his eyes at all. After getting along for a long time, I understand that it is her signature routine of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

The prince has always been completely collapsed by her way of getting along with each other, who is not salty or light, not far away, how to be courteous and indulgent, everyone is just polite and grateful. Fortunately, he found that it seemed to be the same politeness to others as 'false saints'. So I consoled myself that it wasn't that I wasn't charismatic enough, but that the other party's personality was due to it.

But the young Eighth Prince didn't know what shame or frustration was. Every day, he adopted the 'dog skin plaster' method of following the pursuit.

It is said in the book that 'the fierce woman is afraid of pestering the man', although he has no experience in the affairs of men and women, but according to what is said in the book, it must be right!

Therefore, on this hall, as if no one was paying attention to him, his eyes always followed the 'false saint', and the distance between his body would not exceed one zhang.

His theory is to let the other party 'sweep himself as far as he can see'!

However, the 'false saint's outfit today is also amazing!

The lilac jumping death double wrapped in a long skirt wrapped in clouds and smoke palaces, surrounded by delicate white jade bracelets, tinkling, and green silk is high. Discover a rose crystal and Tillian begonia tassel pearl hairpin. The slender belt ties around the waist, walks with lotus, flutters behind him, wide sleeves dance, skirt pleats fluttering, delicate and elegant, like a fairy in the world.

Being so elaborately dressed up at someone else's 'Reward Banquet' is quite a bit like wanting to compete for the high and low, and the taste of dominating the guests.

What's more, the other party is still covered with a veil, although there are ancient clouds: "holding the pipa and half covering the face" does have a hazy reverie beauty, but for this dusty and beautiful empty valley orchid, it is obviously completely stealing the limelight.

The 'false saint' heard the voices of the ladies and ladies admiring her beauty in her ears, and she was particularly proud. The white and small chin was raised high, and his eyes always glanced at the 'Princess Heshuo' to provoke the other party.

The well-behaved and obedient 'Princess Heshuo' would pay attention to the fighting spirit passed by the 'false saint', and obediently stood beside the emperor, accepting the congratulations and greetings of the guests.

Such a disregard is the most irritating!

Sure enough, the woman who had planned to drugged the wine after the banquet was scheduled couldn't wait, and stepped forward with a glass of wine.

"Princess Heshuo, today is incredible, truly like a fairy in the sky! Come! Ben respects the princess with a cup. ”

"To make amends for the abruptness and offense of that day, and I wish the princess eternal youth."

After speaking, he didn't give the other party a reaction, and came over with a wine glass。。。。。。

Emperor Taishang's brows tightened, and he didn't feel it for a second, and he just wanted to raise his hand to stop it.

saw that the other party's ankle was crooked, and his body stumbled suddenly, so he threw the wine glass in his hand straight towards the 'Princess Heshuo'。。。。。。

Ah! Be careful!

With an exclamation, the wine splashed everywhere。。。。。。

The forehead, and the veil, and the garment, and the hem of the skirt, were sprinkled with wine.

The crown prince also frowned, he didn't understand why the dignified and polite 'holy woman' in the past was so abnormal today, such a low-level 'tripping', no matter how you look at it, it can't be an "accident" that a Gu spirit heir who has been practicing Gu since he was a child and has a high level of martial arts will commit!

Unless, on purpose! But what is she trying to do with all this effort?

The prince's heart turned a thousand times, and he looked at the woman in confusion as if she was panicked, while holding a handkerchief to wipe the stains on the other party's body。。。。。。

How would he know that every "wiping" action of the 'false saint' was as light as a weight, and she secretly worked hard towards the wound on Xia Qingyi's chest in the 'Yong'an Palace' that day.

At the same time, her eyes were locked on the other party's expression, and as long as there was a hint of forbearance on her face, she could determine what she was thinking.

It's a pity that the 'Princess Heshuo' only responded softly, "No need", neither dodging her heavy hand nor revealing a trace of the mask of pain!

Odd! It's weird!

The movement between the two also aroused the minds of the rest of the hall, and Qi Qi turned his gaze. Even the Emperor of Southern Chu and the Empress couldn't help but look sideways.

"What's wrong?"

A majestic and deep inquiry.

The Emperor replied with a playful smile on his face.

"The holy woman accidentally spilled the glass when she toasted, it's not a big deal, you don't have to worry about it, the emperor, maybe the 'holy woman' is drunk!"

"Yes, Holy Maiden?"

deliberately added a sentence at the end, meaning to bring the perpetrator with a meaning.

"Hehe, the deity did drink a little too much, 'Princess Heshuo' forgive me! Why don't you let the maid take you down to change into a clean dress? ”

As if she was not giving up, the 'false saint' glanced at the maid beside her, and immediately two women came up and wanted to "forcibly escort people away" one after the other.

In this way, it is clear that he is changing clothes, but in fact, he only thinks about checking whether there are wounds on his body.

In this way, where would he be able to hide from the Emperor Taishang, he took a step sideways and shook one of the maids away, and then took a big hand and changed the position of the 'Princess Heshuo', so as to avoid the control of the other maid.

"Don't bother, this is the 'Fushou Palace', the princess has her own clothes, so she doesn't have to worry about the saint."

It sounds like a polite refusal, but it reveals irresistible firmness.

With a snap of his fingers, two maids immediately stepped forward to support the frightened 'Princess Heshuo'!

Seeing that her plan was about to come to naught, the eyes of the 'false saint' flashed with a trace of resentment and unwillingness.

In the next second, he directly reached out to the thin veil on the princess's door, and shouted in his mouth.

"Princess, slow, the deity has 。。。。。。"

Before she finished speaking, the black veil that Princess Heshuo had covered her face had reached the hands of the 'false saint'.

Everyone gasped!

Just when the 'false saint' thought that she had succeeded, it was too late to be complacent。。。。。。

But I saw that the 'Princess Heshuo' who had been torn off a layer of black veil still had a thin and surprisingly silver mist veil on her face, although it was light and thin, it still couldn't show her true face.

The Emperor almost couldn't control his laughter.

Chu Zexi, this kid, is indeed shrewd, and he actually said it all to him!

Fortunately, I prepared early!

Play to play, make trouble, play to play a full set!

The Emperor Taishang, who was holding back his laughter, turned pale, his eyes were round, and he yelled fiercely at the 'False Saintess'.

"Holy Maiden, why is this? I said before that I was drunk, so I don't care about you, but I said it on the day I entered the palace. ”

"It is the custom of unmarried women in the tribes of the northern border to wear the veil, but no unmarried woman can show her true face."

"Isn't this move of the Holy Maiden to put my beloved daughter in an unclean situation? What kind of grudge should be such a hand???? ”

The Emperor Taishang complained loudly, loudly and loudly, pressing step by step, which made the 'false saint' lose her proportions for a while, and even wanted to step up with excuses。。。。。

"I, I, I 。。。。。。"

Emperor Nanchu saw the seriousness of the situation and immediately gave the queen a look.

"Emperor Tai, your old man is angry, the saint must have done it unintentionally, how could it be intentional, how can you have a grudge if you are not masked?"

The queen mother hurriedly stood up to help the 'false saint' round the field, but none of the two big figures in the palace could not afford to offend!

The 'false saint' finally came back to her senses, and she was busy getting off the donkey.

"Yes, yes, yes, the queen is right, the deity wants to let the 'Princess Heshuo' wait for a while!"

"The deity wants to give a gift to apologize, but in a hurry, he will accidentally tear off the veil, not intentionally!"

"Please also ask the Emperor Taishang to forgive the deity, it's true that I drank too much。。。。。。"

The emperor also stepped forward to help.

"Yes, it's a good day, why should the emperor be angry, it's all trivial, trivial!"

The Emperor Taishang squinted at the few people in front of him singing together, and estimated in his heart that the hour was almost up.

In the next second, there was a burst of exclamations from far and near

"Walk in the palace, walk in the palace, come on!"

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
