It turned out that the venue for the banquet was in Huaqing Palace, no wonder Ling Cangyue had been reluctant to say it.

For two people, as long as this place is mentioned, they will instantly think of the nearly month when two people have lived here ambiguously.

At the beginning, Li Xuanji was just a twelve-year-old handsome young man, Ling Cangyue gradually got used to it after the initial discomfort, and did not treat him as a man at all, and lived a free and unrestrained life, but now Li Xuanji has become an eighteen-year-old handsome young man, and this incident has become a memory that makes Ling Cangyue so ashamed that she has no place to embarrass herself, every time she thinks of it, she will think of the eighteen-year-old Li Xuanji at the same time, and then she will want to beat herself!

Therefore, after Ling Cangyue saw Li Xuanji's current appearance, she decided to forget about that 'unbearable' past. Don't even mention it, you can't even think about it!

However, this time the address of the banquet was set in Huaqing Palace, so Ling Cangyue had to come to this embarrassing place again, and what was even more unbearable was that she had to go to the banquet with Li Xuanji!

Ling Cangyue had cursed the person who initiated this banquet thousands of times in her heart. Helplessly, that person is her only best friend!

Li Xuanji didn't come here to think of this, he was admiring. Using the royal Huaqing Palace as the venue for the banquet is probably only possible for the real top nobles in the Pingyang Imperial City.

It seems that this banquet is not simply a temptation between young people, otherwise why would they dare to hold it in the Royal Palace? Those who dare to do so can only show that some big people in the imperial city attach great importance to this banquet. It was the first time for Li Xuanji to face this kind of scene of attention from all parties, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After getting out of the carriage, Li Xuanji tidied up his clothes and waited next to Ling Cangyue.

Ling Cangyue looked up at Huaqing Palace, and said softly, "Junior Brother Li, you and I will walk side by side in a while, and enter together." Don't stay too far away from me, or I won't be able to help you in time if you get into any trouble. ”

"Okay!" Li Xuanji nodded.

"Jin Ling, come and hold my sister!" Ling Cangyue pulled Jin Ling to her side, then took her little hand and walked towards the gate of the palace.

There were two rows of guards standing guard in front of the gate of the palace, and when they saw someone coming, one of them stepped forward. Ling Cangyue handed over an invitation in her hand, and the guard took the invitation, opened it, glanced at it, and then respectfully returned it to her.

"Miss Ling, please come in!"

The guards looked at her respectfully, with deep fanaticism and adoration hidden in their eyes. When he looked at Jin Ling, he was amazed, but when he looked at Li Xuanji again, his face was full of doubts.

Ling Cangyue took the invitation and nodded, then pulled Jin Ling into the door, and Li Xuanji hurriedly followed.

The Huaqing Palace is very large, and the place where the banquet is held is in one of the garden pavilions. When Ling Cangyue and his party entered the palace, there was a maid in front to guide the way. After passing through several small pavilions and gardens, the three of them finally heard the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras. After turning a beautiful small rockery, a lively banquet venue unfolded in front of the three of them.

The center of the banquet was a large pavilion, and outside the pavilion, there were young people chatting and laughing in pairs near the promenade garden and rockery. The number of people present should be two or three hundred, many of them are busy maids, and there are only more than a hundred nobles present.

However, because the people invited to this banquet are all the top nobles in the Pingyang Imperial City, and they are all young people. Relatively speaking, these more than 100 young people are already a lot, indicating that most of the invitees have arrived.

When Ling Cangyue, Li Xuanji, and Jin Ling had just stepped into here, someone had already shouted a roll call:

"Miss Ling from the General's Mansion arrives at ——!"

This roll call was very ordinary, and his voice was not loud, but when his voice fell, the entire banquet instantly fell silent, and no other sound could be heard except for the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra. Everyone present looked over one after another, and Ling Cangyue and her party instantly became the focus of the banquet!

Everyone looked at Ling Cangyue for the first time, this woman who was on the cusp of the storm, the ultimate goal of this high-end banquet.

Many people want to see what kind of expression she will look like when she looks like she is now. Was it anxiety, anger, regret, worry, or some other emotion? But everyone was disappointed, but Ling Cangyue was still as calm and cold as ever, unrestrained and smiling, and even had a warning written on her face 'Don't approach the living'.

Then everyone shifted their eyes at the same time, and all the targets were locked on Li Xuanji, who came side by side with her.

The strange man who can be taken by Ling Cangyue's side and walk side by side with Ling Cangyue is naturally self-evident, and his identity must be the legendary Ling Cangyue's 'sweetheart' who combines all the gossip, and even the man who will be upgraded to a 'fiancé' soon!

Everyone wants to see who this mysterious man really is, and who is the one who stirred up the undercurrent of Pingyang Imperial City without showing his face!

Li Xuanji's appearance is neither stunning nor disappointed for everyone. His figure is tall and slender, his face is handsome and upright, and his dress is not ostentatious or restrained, much like a well-cultivated aristocratic child, but he has a more dusty taste than those noble children. And more importantly, Li Xuanji's appearance is really unfamiliar, and no one knows him!

In addition to the eyes of everyone who kept observing Ling Cangyue and Li Xuanji, some people also noticed Jin Ling who was following the two people, and many people were amazed by such a smart and cute little girl. Some young sons were already thinking about how to find out the name and family history of this little girl.

After a short silence, the atmosphere of joy returned to the audience, and they were all chatting happily and relaxedly.

"Hello Feng Gongzi! It's an honor to meet Feng Gongzi here!"

"Miss Jiang, you are really radiant and gorgeous today!"

......

But there were many more young people who stood still, occasionally glancing inadvertently over the way. There were only a few people who had the misfortune to nod to Ling Cangyue when they collided with her gaze.

Li Xuanji's heart began to sink rapidly, and he was very unoptimistic about the situation he would face in the future.

I can already guess what kind of situation I will face just by looking at the whole atmosphere of the scene.

Ling Cangyue is the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, the daughter of the first person in the military, and her status is probably second only to the princess of the current dynasty, but none of the young people present are willing to come forward to talk to her! Some people would rather have a donkey's lips and not talk to the person next to them, rather than show a trace of concern for this side. And those young people who really had a force behind them were silent and did not make any statement.

There are two reasons for this.

One point is that Ling Zhanye has been an official for many years, but he has never formed a party for personal gain, and he has a shallow relationship with the ministers of the DPRK and China and various forces, and has no friendship. In addition, Ling Cangyue followed her father's character, she was obsessed with cultivation since she was a child, her temperament was indifferent and she didn't like to make friends, and when she grew up, she went out with her father, and she had only one girlfriend for so many years, and no other friends. With Ling Cangyue's temperament, those young people who are also top nobles naturally won't take the initiative to be cheap to feel her cold face.

The second point is the impact of this refusal to marry. Most people thought that Ling Zhanye's refusal to marry the royal family must have been caused by Ling Cangyue's strong opposition, which also made her offend quite a few nobles. Many people knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty was facing an unprecedented crisis, and they hoped that they could strengthen the stability of the dynasty as much as possible through this marriage, but the breakdown of the marriage disappointed them, and naturally they hated Ling Cangyue. And those families who have always dreamed of marrying the royal family are very happy that Xia Ling's marriage failed, but they still regard Ling Cangyue as the biggest potential threat, and naturally they don't have a good face for her. There are also those who have ulterior motives or admirers of Ling Cangyue, although they are happy about the failure of the marriage, they will not be stupid to come out and be the first bird.

Based on the above reasons, none of these aristocratic young people present took the initiative to come up to greet Ling Cangyue, causing Ling Cangyue and his party to be snubbed by everyone, and a strange vacuum was formed around them. Li Xuanji rubbed his fingers a little embarrassed, the taste of this target is really uncomfortable!

However, Ling Cangyue had obviously expected this scene, or rather, she was used to it. She took Jin Ling's little hand, didn't care about the eyes of the people around her, easily walked through the crowd, and walked straight to the pavilion.

Li Xuanji quickly followed, he was afraid that he would be swallowed up by the strange gazes of these people after falling behind.

But before the three of them could enter the pavilion, they bumped into a person at the door.

This man is a personable son, about twenty years old, well-dressed, his hair is meticulously combed, and every part of his body is well kept, and he can't find a single flaw.

After seeing Ling Cangyue, this person took a step back slightly, stood up straight, held his hand and saluted, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Ling, I haven't seen Miss Ling for many days, and her demeanor is better than before!"

Every movement of this person is smooth and natural when he salutes, and he does it exactly right, giving people a pleasing beauty. His smile is as warm as a spring breeze, and it is natural for people to want to be close to him.

"The fish boy praised it falsely!" Ling Cangyue said modestly, but the coldness on her face was still unabated.

"Miss Ling's recent cultivation is really fast, and it can be called my first day in Pingyang Imperial City. Yu had always hoped to find an opportunity to have tea with Miss Ling and discuss the way to break through the realm, but he never found the opportunity. It was a blessing to see Miss Ling at today's banquet. If Miss Ling has time, she might as well give some advice to Yu, and Yu will be grateful!"

Ling Cangyue replied: "Young Master Yu is really modest, I just succeeded in breaking through the realm by luck, luck, there is nothing remarkable." Yu Gongzi is also known as a cultivation genius in the Imperial City, with many years of profound accumulation, and the breakthrough is just around the corner, so why do you need my guidance?"

Yu Gongzi was not proud, he shook his head modestly, but he didn't dwell on it anymore, but turned his head to look at Li Xuanji and asked with a smile: "Miss Ling, why don't you introduce me when you bring a friend?"

Without waiting for Ling Cangyue to answer, he took the initiative to say to Li Xuanji: "In Xiayu's family, Yu Zeyu, I don't know the name of Gongzi's surname?"

Li Xuanji was shocked in his heart, and finally knew who this person was.

Isn't this the eldest brother of Yu Liangcai, the eldest son of the Yu family that the old man surnamed Shi said?
