"Okay, grandma is going back first." Lu Nianxin said expectantly, and got into the carriage after speaking.
"You should go to bed earlier, grandma is still waiting to see your surprise tomorrow." Lu Nianxin opened the curtains and said to Mu Hanyan.
In a blink of an eye, her face returned to the previous sickness, with a weak look.
"Grandma, what are you?" Mu Hanyan was taken aback, thinking that the holy spirit mantra had not been completely broken, and something was wrong with her body again.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just pretending. Maybe my coming to you tonight will fall into Wu Tianxiong's eyes and ears. If you don't pretend, what if he doesn't dare to do anything?" Lu Nianxin blinked her eyes. , said.
"..." Mu Hanyan was speechless for a while.
"Also, Wu Tianxiong has recruited a lot of officials from the DPRK and China and generals in the army over the years. Tomorrow should be the time for them to surface. Grandma pretends to be able to put a long line and pull a few more big fish up." Lu Nianxin added another sentence.
"Grandma, I understand." Mu Hanyan looked at grandma, no matter how she looked, she looked like an old fox who had cultivated to become a master.
At night, the capital of Shangyue is peaceful, but behind this tranquility, there are undercurrents and turbulent waves.
Outside the city, on Jianyin Peak, the highest peak in the suburbs of the capital, two figures stood facing each other, one was elegant and refined, and the other was as straight as a sword.
"Why are you close to Han Yan?" Ye Lan looked directly into Fen Qianji's eyes, releasing a heavy pressure from his body.
"We are friends." Fen Qianji looked at him without fear, and said frankly.
In the clear night sky, a thunderbolt exploded, like sparks from the collision of two people's eyes.
"Friend?" There was no emotion in Ye Lanyan's tone.
"Friend." Fen Qianji's voice was equally calm.
"If one day, let me know that you dare to be unfavorable to Hanyan, I will let you die forever!" A murderous intent flashed in Ye Lanyan's eyes.
"Actually, this is what I want to say to you too. Protect her, if you can't do it, I will take action." Fen Qianji said.
The two turned around at the same time, and the empty door was wide open. If one of them made a sudden move at this time, even if he couldn't kill the other party, he would definitely cause the other party to be seriously injured.
Maybe it's because they are very clear about the identities and pride of both parties, and they believe that the other party will never do despicable acts of sneak attacking behind the scenes. Maybe it's because they have mutual friends and people who care about the same.
As soon as their bodies moved, the two of them flew away and disappeared into the night sky.
…
The day passed by in a hurry, and at dusk, Mu Hanyan and his party went to the palace for a banquet under the leadership of Yue Xiuming.
The palace was filled with festive lights and festoons. To the common people, today was not a big day, but to the civil and military officials of the Shangyue Kingdom, the Jinlan Palace Banquet between the Yue family and the Wu family was definitely a grand event in Shangyue.
At the same time that Mu Hanyan and others entered the palace, a solemn civil and military official in court uniform also came to the banquet.
Seeing Mu Hanyan, these people were surprised at first, and then looked at each other thoughtfully.
When Mu Hanyan was taken back to the capital by the imperial guards, Yue Fanchen played the banner of welcoming the eldest princess. Although he just wanted to play tricks on Mu Hanyan on a whim, it was inevitable that he would fall into the ears of those who cared. Coupled with the fact that Mu Hanyan has been living in the eldest princess's mansion these days, it can't help but make people think wildly.
As for Mu Hanyan's identity, ordinary people naturally couldn't find out any secrets, but for these well-informed court officials, they would definitely have some guesses, but because of the royal face, they dared not discuss it casually.
Seeing that Mu Hanyan was invited to attend the Jinlan Palace banquet at this time, many people confirmed their previous guesses, and looked at Mu Hanyan with respect, even a little bit of flattery.
"Who are you, how are you qualified to participate in this Jinlan Palace Banquet?" But at this moment, a discordant voice sounded, and a young man dressed in fancy clothes but could not hide his greasy hair and powder face stood in his way. Standing in front of Mu Hanyan, he asked with his nostrils upturned.
"His Royal Highness Huai Wang, these are An Yun's envoys, so don't be rude." Yue Xiuming stepped forward and said, and at the same time he gathered his voice and said to Mu Hanyan, "His name is He Yangqiu, who will inherit the title of King Huai. .”
"An Yun Envoy? Is it Mu Hanyan who injured Brother Jianjue in the competition of Jianyin Academy?" He Yangqiu suddenly realized, and said hostilely. Smoke only knows its name but not its person.
"Yeah." Yue Xiuming nodded and said. Although He Yangqiu's attitude was arrogant and rude, what he said was the truth.
"Mu Hanyan, you are so brave. You seriously injured my elder brother Jianjue, yet you still dare to come to the Jinlan Palace Banquet. Do you really think there is no one in the Wu family?" He Yangqiu said angrily.
"His Royal Highness Duke Huai..." Seeing He Yangqiu getting more and more rude, Yue Xiuming frowned. Although he is the son of Prince Anxi, he has not inherited the title of the king, and his status is not as good as He Yangqiu, so it is difficult to reprimand him.
"Yue Xiuming, you step aside, today I'm going to see how capable this Mu Hanyan is, not to mention hurting brother Jianjue, but he dares to come to the Jinlan Palace Banquet of the Yuewu Family. Take the Wu family seriously." The young man interrupted him and shouted at Mu Hanyan without saving Yue Xiu's face at all.
Mu Hanyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect someone to challenge him before the palace banquet started. The most ridiculous thing was that this guy was only a fifth-level sword master. I really don't know where he got the courage.
Could it be that there is some conspiracy hidden behind this? Mu Hanyan looked around subconsciously, but saw all the civil and military officials shaking their heads and smiling wryly. Looking at He Yangqiu's eyes like looking at an idiot, he knew that there was no conspiracy behind this, this guy was just a fool with insufficient brains.
"Draw the sword, I want to compete with you fairly." He Yangqiu stretched out his hand and drew the sword.
"Stop!" Yue Fanchen came quickly, and gave He Yangqiu a stern look.
"Prince Huai, He Yangqiu, met Brother Yue." He Yangqiu said respectfully. He didn't take Yue Xiuming seriously, but he didn't dare to offend Yue Fanchen. One was because Yue Fanchen's status as the emperor's younger brother was by no means inferior to that of Duke Huai, and the other was because Yue Fanchen's strength was far superior to his. .
"It is the queen mother's will to invite Mu Hanyan to the palace for a banquet. Could it be that you are dissatisfied with the queen mother?" Yue Fanchen asked sharply.
"Xiao Wang Xiao dare, dare not!" He Yangqiu shuddered and denied repeatedly.
Back then, with a big sword, Lu Nianxin defied all opinions and helped the Supreme Emperor secure his throne, and gained a great reputation in the Shangyue Kingdom. Thinking of her big knife, not only Yuexiu, all the juniors were frightened.
"The palace banquet is about to start, let's go in." Yue Fanchen didn't want to make a big fuss over such a trivial matter, he waved his hand and said.
