Time flew by, and the Empress Dowager's birthday finally arrived.
The Imperial Palace was decorated with lanterns and streamers. The people in the palace were all smiling and bustling about, and the atmosphere was festive.
There were four exits to the Imperial Palace. The east, west, south, and north gates were filled with people. All the officials brought their families along, and all of them were dressed in bright clothes. The servants carried large and small bags of gifts, sweating as they followed behind their masters.
When almost all the officials had left for the palace, two horses and two palanquins stopped at the east gate.
Leng Peiyuan, the general of the North Guard, was sitting on the tall brown horse. He was wearing a blue robe inlaid with gold and a belt with rare black gems around his waist. He was wearing a pair of gold-edged black boots, and he was steadily straddling the horse's back. Three thousand black hair was tied up high, and a white jade hairpin was inserted diagonally. His face was like jade, and his eyes were proud.
On the white horse that was galloping alongside the brown horse was the young martial arts world leader, Chu Yuheng. He was wearing a white brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist. A pure white jade pendant hung from his waist. Her black hair was tied up high, and her hair hung down. His features were handsome, and his lips were slightly raised. He was very handsome and unruly.
There were two exquisite sedan chairs, the front one was sapphire blue, and the back one was white. The gorgeous tassels swayed in the breeze as the sedan chair carriers gently placed the two sedan chairs on the ground. The two maids stepped forward and opened the curtains, revealing two figures, one tall and one short. The person who came out of the royal blue sedan chair was General Leng's eldest daughter, Leng Yue 'er. Her three thousand strands of hair were combed into a fairy-looking bun with a pearl hairpin in it. She was wearing a short white jacket and a long pink dress. Her clothes were tied in a long skirt, and her waist was high. The wide skirt draped over the ground, and the white gauze draped over her shoulders and arms. The wind blew, and the silk fluttered. As he walked lightly, his ring and jade pendant jingled. She was elegant, charming, and graceful like a fairy.
The petite figure that stepped out of the white sedan was cold and curved. Her silky black hair was combed into two buns. There were no extra hair accessories on her head, only a butterfly-shaped pearl flower. A few strands of soft hair fell on her temples, making her skin look even more tender. A diamond-shaped flower was pasted on her smooth forehead, and her clear eyes were indifferent, not revealing any expression. She was wearing a crescent dress and embroidered shoes with black bamboo. If one didn't look at her expression, she would look like a porcelain doll.
"Let's go."
Leng Peiyuan walked with Chu Yuheng while Leng Yue 'er followed Leng Wanwan.
"General."
"General."
“……”
Most of the guards at the palace gate were once Leng Peiyuan's subordinates. When they saw him appear, they all bowed respectfully.
"Yes." Leng Peiyuan nodded.
As the few of them left, the guards at the palace gate looked at them and began to discuss.
"Eh, those three young men are the general's children, right? As expected of the Tiger Sect's generals and queens, look at all of them, they were all handsome and outstanding.”Guard A said.
"That's not right." Guard B continued," I've seen the general's eldest son. Isn't he that young man?”
"Then who is he?" Hearing what Guard B said, the others were also puzzled.
“……”
Other than Leng Yue 'er, the other three who possessed profound martial strength naturally didn't miss the guards' discussion. Leng Wanwan's expression did not change, Chu Yuheng had a half-smile on his face, and Leng Peiyuan frowned. Not everyone could enter the palace, not to mention Chu Yuheng was a martial arts practitioner. However, Wan Wan agreed to let him go, but he couldn't. But now, the others still regarded this youth surnamed Chu as his son. If this kid really caused any trouble in the Imperial Palace, they would not be able to escape responsibility. It seemed that he had to watch him closely.
The sound of music lingered in the ears, the fragrance of wine filled the hall, and the dancers danced gracefully to seduce people's hearts and souls.
On the left and right sides of the main hall of the Cining Palace, countless officials, madams, young ladies, and young masters dressed in bright clothes sat on both sides. Some were drinking wine, listening to music, some were whispering, and some were making friends with each other. The scene was very lively.
The arrival of Leng Peiyuan and the others caused the lively scene to fade, and then it became even more lively. The officials who were originally seated all came forward to greet Leng Peiyuan and whispered to their families to build a good relationship with General Leng's children. This Leng Peiyuan was a figure who held a large army in his hands and had the power of a dynasty. If he could gain his recognition, it would not be a problem for him to be promoted.
Leng Peiyuan nodded coldly and sat down on the left. Because of the rules of the Tianyao Dynasty, the family members were not allowed to sit together, so Leng Wanwan and the others were arranged to sit with the women, while Chu Yuheng followed the group of officials 'sons.
Opposite them was Prime Minister Lin Chengxing and his favorite student, Su Yaocheng. After the two of them greeted Leng Peiyuan, the few of them did not talk.
Su Zhan appeared calm and peaceful among the group of young masters. He had a faint smile on his face as he listened to the young masters beside him talk nonsense, but he did not say a word. His calm expression changed when he saw Leng Yue 'er and the others. His clear eyes met Leng Yue' er's, and a hint of surprise and gentleness flashed across his eyes.
Leng Yue 'er also saw Su Zhan, her clear eyes flashing with tenderness. The two of them forgot about each other and threw the noise in the hall to the side.
Chu Yuheng looked around and saw a group of young masters he didn't know. Seeing that they were all well-dressed, but their expressions were full of praise, he felt uncomfortable. The only person she knew and liked was Miss Leng's sweetheart, Su Zhan. She walked towards Su Zhan without hesitation.
"Brother Chu." Su Zhan also saw Chu Yuheng and retracted his gaze from Leng Yue 'er. With a gentle smile, he cupped his hands towards Chu Yuheng.
"Brother Su." Chu Yuheng sat down beside Su Zhan.
"Yi, this young master is?" The young masters who were originally talking about wealth stopped when they saw the handsome Chu Yuheng. Looking at the extraordinary aura of this person, they were jealous and secretly guessed which family's young master he was from.
"Let me introduce you." Su Zhan stood up with a faint smile. "This is Brother Chu."
"Brother Chu, this is the eldest son of the Prime Minister, Brother Lin. This is the son of the cabinet scholar, Brother Xu. This is the third son of the Supreme Court, Brother Qiao.”Su Zhan introduced the young masters beside him one by one.
“……”
Chu Yuheng nodded at them and ignored them.
The sons of the high-ranking officials had originally been unhappy with Chu Yuheng, but now they saw his arrogant attitude. He was even more furious in his heart. When Su Zhan introduced him, he didn't mention which family's young master. It seemed that he wasn't someone important.
"I wonder what position Brother Chu's father holds?”Qiao Xiao, the son of the Supreme Court official, looked at Chu Yuheng with disdain.
"My father is not a court official." Chu Yuheng said lightly, ignoring his provocation.
"So you're just an ordinary citizen.”Chu Yuheng's reply made them feel even more disdainful as they spoke softly.
Chu Yuheng didn't even bother to shake them off. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Brother Chu is the leader of the martial arts world." Seeing this, Su Zhan quickly said gently.
"He's just a boorish man." Xu Chao, the son of a cabinet scholar, also spoke. He was a scholar with a lot of knowledge and had always disdained those martial artists who fought and killed.
Chu Yuheng glared at them coldly, like a gust of cold wind blowing past, his aura was brutal.
The few young masters who were disdainful were speechless. They felt as if they had been frozen by a thousand-year-old ice. Their bodies were stiff and they could not react.
Chu Yuheng saw their stunned reactions and curled his lips in satisfaction. Sure enough, it was much quieter.
Su Zhan saw this and shook his head helplessly.
Leng Yue 'er had been paying attention to the reaction here. She saw that the atmosphere seemed to be a little off. He couldn't help but worry. That Young Master Chu was wild and unruly. What if he really caused trouble and implicated Su Zhan? Right now, she was concerned about her lover.
After she politely nodded at the daughter of an official who was talking to her, she carefully whispered into Leng Wanwan's ear,"
"Third Sister, there seems to be a situation with Master Chu?”
When Leng Wanwan heard this, she raised her black gem-like eyes. Sure enough, a few rich kids seemed to be looking for trouble with Chu Yuheng, but she wasn't worried at all. How could those rich kids who only knew how to play be Chu Yuheng's match? A moment later, they saw that the few of them were so angry that their faces turned green, but they were helpless.
"I'm fine." She indifferently replied to Leng Yue 'er, her eyes coldly glancing at the other young ladies who wanted to talk to her. That cold and ruthless gaze scared the beautiful young ladies. They originally thought that this Leng family's little miss was an innocent child who wanted to get close to her. Who knew that she actually had such a cold and domineering aura?
"Oh." Leng Yue 'er was relieved after hearing Leng Wanwan's words. With Third Sister around, she shouldn't have to worry too much, right?
"Third Sister, this is your first time entering the palace. Are you not used to it?" Seeing that Third Sister had not spoken a word since entering the palace, she was cold.
"No, I'm just disappointed." Leng Wanwan's eyes swept across the palace again. It was golden, dazzling, and magnificent, but it was no different from what she saw on modern television.
"Disappointed?" Leng Yue 'er stared at Leng Wanwan, feeling a little frightened. Heavens, how could Third Sister say such words? If others heard it, it would be a huge crime. This palace was the symbol of imperial power, and the palace was very magnificent. Her pretty face paled as she said in a low voice. "Third Sister, you can't say that. It would be bad if someone heard it.”
Leng Wanwan's eyes flashed with mockery. So what if she heard it?
Leng Yue 'er saw her disapproving expression and became more and more at a loss. Looking left and right, no one noticed them.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived, the Emperor has arrived, King Zhou has arrived…"
