All the Lu family's shops in the city were replaced by Yujiabao. Other than that, nothing in Youzhou City changed because of the disappearance of the Lu family. The twenty-five cabinet ministers of the previous dynasty were increased to those of third rank or above, and all ministers could enter the palace to face the emperor directly. The strange faces that appeared in the dynasty made Wan Qixi full of energy and held a palace banquet in great spirits.
"Palace banquet?" An Yu threw the letter in his hand on the table. "I'm not feeling well yet, so you can go."
Xie Weixing raised his eyebrows: "The prince has named you and wants you to participate."
"You want me to go?" An Yu rolled his dark eyes and asked.
"This choice is yours. Since you don't want to go, there is nothing we can do to force you to go."
Xie Weixing lowered his head, covering up all the light in his eyes. Although the palace banquet was held in the name of celebrating the new minister in the court, Wan Qiqin not only invited Fengnong Villa, but also Yujiabao. I don't know what he wants to do.
An Yu saw that he had a different look on his face and remembered what happened to the Lu family, so he had to sit down and said, "Since we are going, let's go together."
As if he expected what she said, Xie Weixing raised his head and smiled: "You shouldn't be injured too much... I asked them to prepare a more comfortable carriage for you."
An Yu curled her lips, she thought he would say that her injury was not healed yet and it was not suitable to go out, so she shouldn't go! I didn't expect that he would be so persistent this time. She thought to herself for a long time, Xie Weixing's expression remained calm, and she could not see a trace of his inner thoughts.
"Now that the Lu family has been ransacked, is there anything that remains unfinished?"
An Yu thought this and couldn't help but murmured. Xie Weixing, who was beside him, had sharp ears and just chuckled when he heard the words. Seeing her staring at him in confusion, he said helplessly: "There will never be peace in the court. Today the people named Lu have been eliminated, and tomorrow someone named Ma will appear. In short, it will definitely be very lively."
"So there will be something good at tomorrow's banquet? And we, perhaps, are still very important participants?" An Yu looked at him with confusion in his eyes, "Did you make any agreement with Wan Qiqin?"
"What else did you think of?"
An Yu shook his head: "This is based on your own words."
Xie Weixing just smiled and said nothing.
Soon, night will fall. An Yu was pulled by Lu Yi to dress up gently. Fortunately, she was dressing up in men's clothing and kept everything simple, otherwise, she would have gone through such a fuss. The wounds on the body will definitely burst. Maybe this is why Xie Weixing agreed to let An Yu attend the palace banquet together.
The carriage he mentioned was actually an extra thick quilt in the carriage, with people lying inside. It's really not that weird. Although it was not as comfortable and spacious as Yu Chen's carriage, she was content with it. When he closed his eyes comfortably and was about to enjoy it, Xie Weixing got in and grinned when he saw An Yu lying around.
"Why are you laughing? Have you never seen a beautiful woman sleeping? Hurry up and leave!" An Yu glared at him with some embarrassment. scolded lowly.
"Haha - I'm sure I've never seen a beautiful woman sleeping." Xie Weixing smiled faintly, "Of course, except for you."
An Yu was stunned immediately. Is this... sweet talk
Along the way, she lowered her head and pondered this question, and she didn't even notice when she entered the palace.
The banquet was held in Juxian Hall. The vegetation in front of the palace is lush, the flowers are like brocade, and the palace ladies are weaving. All of them are gorgeous and handsome. When An Yu and Xie Weixing entered the inner courtyard, they got off the carriage and walked to Juxian Hall. Before they arrived, a waiter welcomed them inside. It turned out that Wan Qiqin had already called attention to the whereabouts of the two of them and arranged their seats.
Juxian Hall can accommodate thousands of people. There was a loud voice in the towering Juxian Hall. There were echoes throughout the palace. At this time, many people had come to the hall, and they were all greeting each other. The emperor and Wan Qiqin have not come yet, so there are two seats left in the main hall, and the seat on the right is also empty.
From a distance, An Yu could see An Yu sitting quietly in the second empty seat on the left, drinking tea calmly. An Yu was about to squeeze over happily, but Xie Weixing pulled her back. She looked back at him doubtfully, and saw that his eyes were half-smiling. For no reason, An Yu stopped with a guilty conscience.
The person who led the way took the two of them directly to a position above Yu Chen. Only then did she realize that the empty seat in front was for Xie Weixing.
"Yu Chen, long time no see!" Before An Yu could sit down, she turned to say hello to Yu Chen.
Yu Chen tilted his head slightly, looked at An Yu with unfocused eyes, and smiled happily: "It turns out to be Xiao An. I was just wondering why you guys haven't come yet."
"Well, have you been here a long time?"
Yu Chen shook his head and asked with concern on his face: "How is your injury?"
"Almost healed now. Thank you for the tonics you sent." An Yu thought of some medicinal materials he sent over when he was injured. Fosang was very happy when he saw it, because there were many medicinal materials that he had not found, and they could be used just right.
Xie Weixing, who was on the side, felt a little strange when he saw the two of them chatting enthusiastically. His expression moved slightly and he calmly interjected: "Brother Yu, how is the business in Youzhou City recently?"
When he asked, Yu Chen replied with a smile: "Everything is fine."
"The affairs of the Lu family have been announced to the world. I think this will also be helpful to the Yu family's business."
"Thank you so much for your help, brother."
After the two said this, they looked at each other and smiled. An Yu looked at Yu Chen on the left and Xie Weixing on the right, feeling that there was something in their words. At this moment, a man came towards them holding a wine glass. An Yu took a closer look, who was this person if he wasn't Ma Wencai
"So you are here!"
The people on the left and right are all her own, and Wan Qiqin, who will come soon, will probably stand by her side, so she shouldn't have to worry about his revenge. Thinking of this, An Yu boldly raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm here. Is something wrong?"
"You... don't recognize me? That day... that day you were leading a horse on the street, and I, I took a fancy to your horse!" Ma Wencai looked at An Yu with some doubts, as if he was confirming whether he was I really got the wrong person.
Seeing what he said, An Yu couldn't laugh or cry: "It's really me. Why, Mr. Ma, is he still thinking about his horse?"
Unexpectedly, Ma Wencai waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Well, I heard from the prince that you are from Fengnong Villa. If this young master knew that you were from Fengnong Villa, he would not... and would not..."
Marwen just said this, he couldn't say any more, and his face turned red. People who knew him at the side opened their eyes curiously, pointed at his face, and shouted: "Hahaha - Mr. Ma actually blushes sometimes!"
As soon as these words came out, many people gathered to watch. An Yu quickly stood up and said calmly: "Master Ma, we don't know each other until we fight. The horse you like in mine shows your taste." Yes, everyone likes good horses, so it doesn’t matter if you take a fancy to them. I have already forgiven you for your rudeness, so you don’t have to care about it anymore.”
Ma Wencai looked at An Yu, feeling a little depressed. It took him a long time before he said, "Then I'll give you a toast. Thank you Mr. An for your forgiveness!"
After saying that, he raised his head and downed a glass of wine. An Yu looked at him blankly, but thought to himself, how could this little bully be so obedient now? Just as he was thinking about it, a high-pitched chorus sounded outside the palace door: "The emperor has arrived - the queen has arrived -"
The emperor's steps were a little frivolous, and he took a long time to climb onto the dragon throne. When An Yu looked up, he saw the woman with palace makeup next to him. She was about thirty years old, with a double chin, but she didn't look fat, just graceful and elegant. The golden steps on his head swayed slightly, and there was a smile in his eyes, slightly tactful. I guess he is a weak-tempered Lord, with only the empty airs of a queen and no dignity of the queen.
An Yu looked away, and his right hand was wrapped by a warm hand. She looked over and saw Xie Weixing picking up a cup of tea and taking a sip quietly. Just as he was about to ask quietly, another voice sounded outside the door: "Prince Qin has arrived—"
When Wan Qiqin came in, the queen gently approached Wan Qixi and said something. Wan Qixi frowned inadvertently. This action did not attract many people's attention, because most people's eyes were focused on Wan Qiqin who had just entered the door.
"Brother, please forgive me for being late." Wan Qiqin bent down slightly and said calmly and generously, "However, there is a reason why I came late."
"Oh?" Wan Qixi's frown relaxed slightly, and he looked at Wan Qiqin in front of the hall, as if guessing his thoughts.
"Move it up!" Wan Qiqin clapped his hands three times. I saw a person outside the hall slowly walking up to the hall holding a tray covered with red cloth in both hands. He knelt on the ground respectfully without raising his face. "Brother Imperial, this is a good thing I found when I raided the Lu family!"
After he finished speaking, he pulled open the red cloth on the tray and saw two things exposed inside.
"Ah? What is this?" People in the palace stood up one after another, stretched their necks and looked into the tray.
An Yu also frowned. She was too far away to see what was on the tray. She simply sighed and sat down properly. Wan Qixi was also intrigued by him, raised his head and said, "What did you find?"
Wan Qiqin raised her lips and smiled, her eyes passing over Yu Chen and Xie Weixing with a vague look, and said calmly: "These are the fragments of the Zhi Tian Mirror and Feng Zhan!"
"ah-"
There was a burst of surprise in the hall, and even An Yu cried out in surprise. Fortunately, the sound in the hall was quite loud at this time, covering up her surprise. Xie Weixing tilted his head and gave her a slightly thoughtful look.
How come there are fragments of Fengzhan in the Lu family? The Heaven-Weaving Mirror was snatched away by Nangong Wei. It is understandable that it would appear in the Lu family now, but why does the Lu family also have the Fengzhan fragments
