The Martial Meet of the Three Kingdoms became the most talked about topic among the commoners. As long as there were people, they would definitely talk about it. The storytellers in the restaurants and teahouses were eloquent, and the level of excitement was as if he had seen it with his own eyes. The commoners who did not go to watch the Martial Meet were shocked. Their hearts were filled with ups and downs along with the ups and downs of the plot. They were annoyed that they had not seen it with their own eyes.
This time, the people had seen a lot of things. Not only did they witness a wonderful battle, but they also got to know the Great Prince Jun Moxie, the Prime Minister Sima Yi, and the Martial King Gu Moyan, who they were proud of.
Three days passed quietly. It was the 15th day of the eighth month. The whole world was celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every street was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and every stall owner was doing their best to sell their wares. After dinner, the people went out to play with their families. People came and went, and their vision was filled with black people. All the empty spaces were temporarily set up with stages, and all kinds of acrobatic performances were held.
On the shore of Shengyang Lake, young men and women bought lotus lanterns and placed them on the surface of the water, praying that their wishes would come true in the coming year. Soon, the vast lake was filled with lanterns, and the lit wicks blurred the eyes of the people on both sides of the lake.
To the north of Shengyang was the noble and luxurious Imperial Palace. A red wall separated the two worlds. Outside the red wall was the jubilation of the commoners, while inside the red wall was the imperial family's large-scale banquet. Bright red lanterns were hung in every palace, and the rich fragrance of osmanthus wafted through the entire Imperial Palace.
Ming De Hall was still as luxurious as ever. The lanterns hanging high above the outer hall expelled the darkness. Because of the festival, Gu Anran's birthday, and the arrival of the envoys from the two countries, Ming De Hall was decorated more magnificently than usual. The pots of high-quality osmanthus flowers were worth more than a thousand taels.
At this moment, most of the officials of Heavenly Saints City had already gathered in the shop. They were chatting with each other with wine glasses in their hands and warm smiles on their faces. The womenfolk who came with them also gathered with the master's goal. Five or six concubines from the harem were also present. They were dressed in luxurious and beautiful palace clothes and had exquisite and appropriate makeup. They smiled and chatted with the people who came to chat. They secretly grasped the skills.
When the time arrived, the envoys of the two countries arrived at the entrance of Ming De Hall. Everyone looked over and saw a slender figure appear in front of them. He was wearing a gorgeous red brocade robe and a white jade hair crown. His eyes were deep and sharp, and his facial features were well-defined. There was an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and his footsteps were firm.
Such a graceful bearing made the unmarried women present reveal a look of infatuation. They lowered their heads in embarrassment and couldn't help but sneak a peek. Their actions were full of feminine charm, but they didn't receive a single glance from Jun Moxie. He walked straight to his seat and sat down, instantly isolating himself from the surrounding environment.
After the emissaries of the Jun Saint Kingdom took their seats, the Yuan Saint Kingdom followed closely behind. The old Prime Minister was wearing a court robe with a majestic golden python embroidered on his chest. Although he was old, it did not diminish his imposing manner as the head of the officials. His arrival attracted the attention of the officials of the Heaven Saint Kingdom, while the gazes of the women were attracted by the man behind Sima Xiang.
The man's black hair fluttered in the wind. His facial features were exquisite, and his figure was slender. He was dressed in white like an immortal, and a green jade flute was pinned to his belt. After the man walked past, a faint medicinal fragrance floated in the air. It was very pleasant, and it made many women intoxicated. When they came back to their senses, the man was already sitting in his seat.
Everyone took their seats and waited for the main character Gu Moran, the two princes, and the empress, the mother of the harem. In their anticipation, the three Gu brothers and the empress happily arrived. Leading them was the ruler of a country, Gu Moran. Her beautiful black hair was tied up into a bun on her head with a golden crown. Her long and narrow phoenix eyes were curved into the shape of a crescent moon, her nose bridge was high, and her thin lips were slightly pursed. Her gentle facial features emitted a friendly aura, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Next to her was the dignified and elegant Empress. Her phoenix robe made her look extremely noble, and the accessories in her bun made her beautiful face look. She and Gu Moran walked up the steps hand in hand and sat on the dragon and phoenix chair.
Behind them were the two princes, Gu Moxi and Gu Moyan. On the left, Gu Moxi was still dressed in a white dress, looking like a fairy. Her charming phoenix eyes were mixed with a trace of charm. Her sexy thin lips curled into a smile, and she hugged the black cat, adding to her charm. The eyes of the women present lit up and their gazes became a little hot. As she walked past, she took a cold breath and sat down in front of everyone.
Gu Moyan, who was on the right, was wearing a blue brocade robe. His amorous peach blossom eyes inadvertently emitted electricity, and his plump lips were deeply curved. His hair was only interwoven with a white jade hairpin, and his entire body emitted a pleasant aura. He sat down with his brother, making the burning gazes of the opposite sex even hotter.
The three outstanding men made their hearts flutter. Each of them set their sights on a target and decided to use all their skills to attract the other party's attention. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but rub their fists and rub their hands together. They were all excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Lan Xi's mouth twitched in Gu Moxi's arms. God, a woman waiting to be married is really scary!
Everyone gathered and the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet officially began. The people below stood up and bowed. The concubines half-squatted, the officials knelt on both knees, the envoys of the two countries, Gu Moxi and Gu Moyan cupped their fists and bowed slightly. Everyone said in unison," Long live the Emperor, long live the Empress."”
"Everyone, please rise." Gu Mo Xi raised her hand and said, the noble aura of a king was undoubtedly displayed at this moment.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Empress." Everyone thanked him and sat down again.
After everyone was seated, Little Yuanzi received Gu Moran's signal and took a step forward. He said loudly,"The banquet begins. We will perform a song and dance ~"
As soon as he finished speaking, the melodious sound of music rang out in Ming De Hall. The dancers, who had been preparing for a long time, went on stage to show their beautiful dance moves. They tried their best to perform, hoping that they would not mess up. After all, there were foreign envoys present. If they made a mistake, it would be terrible.
Not long after the banquet, the singing and dancing officials presented gifts to Gu Moran. Each gift was exquisite and of high value. It was obvious that they had spent a lot of effort to choose the gift. Gu Moran also accepted it with a smile. Occasionally, she would praise someone she liked. Naturally, the officials who received praise were proud and enjoyed the various looks from others.
After the officials finished giving their gifts, the singing and dancing had already left. It was King Jing and King Wu's turn to present their birthday gifts. The two of them stood up at the same time and walked to the center, taking out the gifts they had prepared. Gu Moxi had given him aged wine, while Gu Moyan had given him a good jade pendant. Although it was not the best, Gu Moran had said that he liked it. Everyone knew that he liked wine and jade, and the gifts from the two princes were just what he wanted.
After happily accepting the gift, the old Prime Minister of the Sacred Yuan Empire stood up and walked into the middle. Behind him was another person who was dragging a wooden tray. He bowed slightly and said in a voice that sounded like an ancient bell," Your Majesty, this is a congratulatory gift prepared by our Emperor.”With that, he removed the mahogany cover, and sobs immediately sounded in the hall.
A fist-sized luminous pearl was placed on the wooden tray. Even under the bright lights, it emitted a faint green light. The value of this pearl could not be estimated. Yuan Sacred Empire was so generous. What was their motive behind this?
Gu Moran let Little Yuanzi take the gift. He looked at Sima Xiang with a scrutinizing gaze for a while before saying," Thank you for the gift, envoy. Please also thank the Emperor of the Yuan Sage Kingdom on my behalf."”
"This old minister will obey." Sima Xiang turned around and sat down.
After him was the First Prince Jun Moxie. He sat steadily in his seat, and with a wave of his right hand, two people walked in from outside Ming De Hall. Both of them were holding objects covered by red cloth. Everyone cast their puzzled gazes over, looking forward to the answer.
On the seat, Jun Moxie smiled evilly and said," Your Majesty, this is my country's congratulatory gift.”
The two of them answered and removed the red cloth. What appeared in front of everyone was an iron cage. Inside the cage was a white fox that was curled up into a ball and trembling. Its pure eyes were filled with pain, and tears fell. It looked extremely pitiful.
Lan Xi, who was curled up in Gu Mo Xi's arms, looked at the white fox and her pupils constricted. Her deep eyes swept across Jun Moxie, but she quickly retracted her gaze before he noticed anything. Her eyes fell on the white fox.
Humans could not detect it, but as a cat demon, she could tell at a glance that this white fox was her kind. However, its cultivation was very low, probably only a few decades old. It would take two to three hundred years to transform into a human. Under normal circumstances, a fox demon that had not yet transformed into a human would hide in the mountains where humans rarely walked. If this white fox was caught, it was bad luck. Otherwise, it was discovered by humans when it appeared.
Perhaps it was because they were both demons, but Lan Xi actually had the thought of saving it at this moment. However, she also understood that the timing was not right. Just as she had this thought, she suddenly saw the white fox look over. Its gaze was filled with intense killing intent. She was puzzled. This should be the first time she had met it. Why?
"Your Majesty, this white fox was obtained by chance when this prince went hunting in the mountains last month. It has quite a spirit and is now dedicated to Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty a happy birthday.”Jun Moxie opened his mouth to speak after receiving the surprised gazes of the crowd. His brows were brimming with confidence.
In response, Gu Moran narrowed his phoenix eyes and nodded in satisfaction. The Empress beside him was full of joy. It was obvious that she liked this white fox very much. She could not help but reach out and pull his sleeve. The couple looked at each other and understood what they meant.
"Thank you, Eldest Prince. Little Yuanzi, take this white fox to the Empress 'Palace.”Gu Moran said as she looked at the Empress beside her with a smile, causing the other concubines to be envious.
Little Yuanzi nodded and was about to step forward when the Empress stopped him." Little Yuanzi, there's no need. Bring him over to BenGong now."”
Little Yuanzi was startled. Seeing the Empress nod again, he answered and walked to the iron cage. He opened the cage door and carried the trembling white fox up the steps. The white fox seemed to be injured. It struggled a few times and no longer had the strength to break free.
The Empress happily took the white fox. She had just touched the white fox a few times when it scratched her cheek. Her jade-like face suddenly became a little red. While everyone was stunned, she attacked the black cat in Gu Moxi's arms. The hall was filled with sobs. It turned out that the previous injury was fake. It was really cunning.
