Volume 1 Chapter 17 The Royal Banquet

The aura in the early morning is always extraordinarily abundant, Xia Qingluo stretched his waist, got up from the bed, and started cultivating early in the morning. Yesterday, after she felt Jiang Mohan's cultivation on the first floor of the foundation, the sense of urgency for cultivation in her heart became stronger and stronger.

After all, this world speaks with strength, if his strength is not enough, even if the Xia family pays off the Jiang family's debts, I am afraid that they will face other crises!

However, today was obviously not a good time to concentrate on cultivation, and two knocks on the door interrupted Xia Qingluo's state one after another. Rather helplessly, she walked into Yun Xingce's study with two invitations to the royal banquet.

"Childe, let's go to the royal banquet tomorrow night!"

Yun Xingce, who was on the side, looked at the book in his hand and replied casually:

"yes, okay."

Suddenly, he remembered something and called Xia Qingluo to stop:

"Oh, yes! There's something for you! ”

With an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth, he took out a spirit treasure, which was actually the Shadow Twin Blades from yesterday's auction!

Xia Qingluo looked at this thing with some dumbfounded:

"Childe, the head of the Jiang family will not be ...... by you"

Yun Xingce chuckled:

He ...... It shouldn't be a big deal......"

Xia Qingluo muttered in his heart:

'What do you mean by should?' It seems that there must be something going on! ’

"However, it's better not to show this spiritual treasure in front of outsiders for the time being."

Xia Qingluo heard him say this, and he knew it in his heart. Eighty percent of this thing was snatched by Gongzi from the head of the Jiang family. Naturally, it is inconvenient to show it in front of outsiders.

After all, there were not many people who participated in the auction yesterday, and now the head of the Jiang family still doesn't know what the situation is, if someone finds out that this spiritual treasure is in her hands, it will inevitably cause disaster for the family.

She put away the spirit treasure and nodded to Yun Xingce to thank her, and then went back to the room.

Think about tomorrow night's party, but prepare well!

She understood that the prince intended to pull the Xia family into the upper circle of the city, so she naturally had to dress up more grandly tomorrow, and she must not lose her face.

Thinking so, she rummaged through the cabinets and found some rouge gouache and a few formal clothes.

The next afternoon, the warm sunlight slanted into the window, and people couldn't help but feel a little tired.

Yun Xingce yawned and passed in front of Xia Qingluo's room, and saw that she was sitting at the table with a solemn expression, tracing carefully in front of the bronze mirror. couldn't help but raise an eyebrow:

This girl usually looks very aggressive, but I didn't expect this! ’

It took Xia Qingluo more than an hour to dress up, she was wearing delicate and elegant light makeup, wearing a red pomegranate skirt, her skin was as white as jade, her figure was slender, and she looked particularly bright and moving!

After she cleaned up, she ran to Yun Xingce:

"Childe, are you alright? When are we leaving? ”

As soon as Yun Xingce opened the door and saw her like this, his eyes lit up!

'This little girl is dressed up, it's really beautiful! ’

Instead, he looked at the somewhat casual white robe on his body, frowned slightly, and said:

"Wait a minute!"

He turned and went back into the room, and after about a quarter of an hour, he came out again, and changed his appearance.

I saw that he was wearing a white jade crown on his head, wearing a gold silk brocade robe on a white background, and the wind god was handsome, like a fairy falling into the dust.

"Alright, let's go!"

Xia Qingluo looked slightly stunned, and admired in his heart:

'What a beautiful young man! ’

"It's the first time I've seen my son dressed so seriously."

"What?! Am I not usually dressed properly?! ”

“…… Not really! Childe looks good in anything! ”

After a while, the two came to the palace. Xia Qingluo saw that his parents and sister had already arrived here.

When they saw Xia Qingluo, they moved over, saw her dress, and then looked at Yun Xingce beside her, and they were a little sluggish for a while!

'Didn't Xiao Luo go to be a maid for this man?' How do you look more moisturized than at home?! ’

Yun Xingce nodded slightly to the Xia family and said hello, then took the lead in entering the hall.

Xia Qingluo knew that this place was not suitable for them to chat about family life, so he just said a few words to his family and then went in and sat down.

At this time, the hall was already full of people, and many family members were passing cups and changing lamps, and they were polite to each other.

An official from the Tai Hospital who was in charge of purchasing medicinal herbs walked in, he looked at the Xia family, smiled, and stepped forward a few steps.

The head of the Xia family saw this person, but his face was a little heavy, the latest batch of orders, these two days are about to be delivered, but the Chinese medicine field at home was destroyed, and the goods were not ready at all.

He glanced at Xia Qingluo worriedly, and said secretly in his heart:

This man isn't here to urge me to deliver the goods! I don't know if Xiao Luo told her friend about canceling the order! ’

The man came to the head of the Xia family and toasted a glass of wine:

"Oops! Master Xia, I'll discuss something with you! Can the batch of orders signed with your family be canceled? In the past two days, the Tai Hospital and the major pharmacies have received a secret letter, which happened to say the side effects and defects of those herbs, and now the Tai Hospital has planned to stop using those herbs! But don't worry, the royalty agreed in the agreement will be paid to you as usual! ”

The head of the Xia family looked shocked when he heard this, and then smiled:

"Haha! Anyway! Just do what is agreed in the agreement! ”

After the man said a few polite words, the head of the Xia family was puzzled:

"Xiao Luo! This is what you did?! ”

Xia Qingluo smiled, she didn't want her father to know too much:

"I don't have that ability, my son-in-law did it!"

The head of the Xia family showed a look of sudden realization:

"I see! What a good guy your son-in-law is! ”

"Heh......"

When she heard her father say this, she laughed dryly, and then thought about it, her father was not wrong, Yun Xingce really treated her very well!

Xia Qingluo took a cursory glance in the hall, but saw several familiar figures.

Not far away, Jiang Wanwan and Mrs. Jiang were chatting with the lady of another family about these things. It seems that the head of the Jiang family did not come today, presumably it was the handiwork of Yun Xingce yesterday!

The manager of Zhou on the side and a burly middle-aged man sat together, the person was wearing armor, his hands were covered with calluses, and he looked like a person who practiced martial arts all year round, and he must be the famous General Zhou!

It's just that to Xia Qingluo's surprise, the little soldier who was spanked by her a few days ago was also here, that person with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, dressed very elegantly and luxuriously, standing next to General Zhou, chatting with several sons of the same age.

The man inadvertently glanced at her, and immediately blushed, like a little daughter-in-law who had been bullied~

Xia Qingluo chuckled, wondering in his heart:

It seems that this man is no ordinary soldier! It's no wonder that at a young age, he has a condensing qi cultivation of forty percent! It must be the son of the Zhou family! ’

Jiang Wanwan also turned her head to see her, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then a trace of resentment, and she said coldly in a strange manner:

"This royal banquet is really getting more and more inclusive! All small families can participate! ”

Just as everyone was greeting, a shrill voice came, breaking the noise in the hall:

"The emperor has arrived!"

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
