Ever since that day, the Qiyun Clan had become much quieter. Although Qi Yunmo was expelled from the clan, Qi Yunru was grateful for their brotherhood and left his son and daughter behind. At first, Qi Yun Su'e was not convinced and was very noisy. She wanted to find trouble with Yuan Zinuo, but after being thrown away by Liming and Chuxiao a few times, she quieted down. Qi Yunjin had been quietly doing his own thing. He did not make a fuss or get angry.
Ming Hong came once, and the two of them talked for a long time. Ming Hong said that the "World Alliance" had become even bigger. Half of the sects in the martial arts world had been subdued by them, and they were about to become the world's number one sect.
August 15th was approaching, and everyone was busy preparing for the festival. Yuan Zinuo received a heavy bomb. The palace had sent her an invitation to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
On the 14th of August, the moon was already very round. It hung high in the sky and looked down coldly at the mortals on the ground.
"Ouyang Xu, what do you mean? Do you think that I'm not annoying enough? Do you want me to go and see you and your concubines?”Yuan Zinuo held the invitation letter and lay in Ouyang Xu's embrace. The two of them sat on the balcony and enjoyed the rare time together.
"I have to spend the festival with the officials tomorrow, and I also want to spend the festival with you, so I thought of this best of both worlds method. You come to the palace, and we'll attend the banquet first.”Ouyang Xu hugged the beauty and smiled contentedly. He snatched the invitation letter from Yuan Zinuo's hands and threw it to the side.
"Surprise? I hope it's not a shock!" It wasn't that she was petty, but there was a lot of gossip among women, especially in places like the palace where women gathered. Gong Sun Ying had always been dissatisfied with her, and now her mother was divorced because of them. The enmity between them had been formed. When enemies met, their eyes would turn red, and no one knew what methods they would use to harm her.
" Hehe…" Ouyang Xu laughed awkwardly. He knew about the fights between the women in the palace, but he didn't care about those women anyway, so he didn't want to care.
"But I want to see your three palaces and six courtyards. They must be all beauties!”Yuan Zinuo turned around and stared meaningfully at Ouyang Xu. That gaze made Ouyang Xu's hair stand on end.
"What's there to see about them? Just look at me. I'm prettier than them!”Ouyang Xu felt that he could not continue this topic. Otherwise, he would definitely be dragged into the ditch, so he changed the topic. The hands that were wrapped around her slender waist began to become restless.
"Don't move!" Slapping away the hand that was about to pull her belt, Yuan Zinuo stood up and glared at Ouyang Xu." Respected Sage Emperor, you are busy every day. You must have many things to do. I won't disturb you any longer. Please leave!"”
The next morning, Yuan Zinuo woke up early to dress up and wash up. Qi Yunru was also going to enter the palace today to hold a sacrificial ceremony.
The legitimate daughter of the Qiyun clan had a special outfit. A pair of phoenixes bathed in fire was embroidered with gold thread on the pure black skirt. Golden lotus flowers were embroidered on the collar and cuffs. A palm-sized black jade token hung on the chest of the cross-collar. It was also a pair of phoenixes bathed in fire. Her hair was tied up into a flying bun, and there was a black gemstone hanging between her eyebrows. It was hard to tell the quality of the gemstone, but it emitted a dazzling light under the light. The earrings were also made of black gemstones.
In order to match this outfit, Yuan Zinuo had specially put on light makeup for herself. She had even deliberately raised her eyeliner and eyebrows, making her look noble and cold. She was really as unattainable as the Nine Heavens Maiden.
When they arrived outside the palace, everyone had to get off the carriage and walk into the palace. However, the carriage of the Qiyun Clan directly entered.
The carriage stopped beside a high platform, surrounded by many people. Ouyang Xu stood on the high platform in a bright yellow python robe. He was handsome and exuded a domineering aura, making people not dare to look at him directly.
Yuan Zinuo alighted from the carriage. When she saw Ouyang Xu on the stage, her eyes flashed with surprise for a moment. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she raised her eyebrows.
When everyone saw the two of them, they all knelt down." Greetings, Imperial Preceptor!”
Qi Yunru, dressed in a pure black robe woven with gold, slowly walked up the platform, ignoring everyone. After that, there was a series of sacrificial ceremonies, praying for good weather and peace.
After the ritual was completed, Qi Yunru left.
Ouyang Xu was escorted back to the main hall. Yuan Zinuo looked at his back and suddenly felt that she was very, very far away from him.
"Miss Qi Yun, Shu Fei niangniang has ordered this servant to invite you to reminisce!”A delicate-looking palace maid came to Yuan Zinuo's side and bowed.
"Consort Shu?" Yuan Zinuo looked at the palace maid doubtfully.
"My niangniang is the princess of Nanjiang!" The palace maid lowered her head slightly, and her expression could not be seen.
"Murong Yan 'er?" Yuan Zinuo finally understood. However, the title of " Consort Shu " didn't seem to suit her. Could she use the word " Shu " to describe it? Ouyang Xu did it on purpose! "Lead the way!"
"Yes, sir!" The palace maid kept her head lowered, as if there was money on the ground. Yuan Zinuo didn't want to pay attention to her and enjoyed the scenery of the imperial garden on the way.
"Xiao Nuo!" After passing through many small alleys and courtyards, the two of them finally arrived in front of a magnificent building. Murong Yan 'er was dressed in a light purple palace dress. When she saw Yuan Zinuo, she hopped over to Yuan Zinuo's side.
"Slow down! Slow! Wait!" Yuan Zinuo couldn't stand Murong Yan 'er's enthusiasm. Seeing that she was about to be hugged, she quickly gestured for her to stop." You don't have to be so enthusiastic. You see, it's rare for me to wear such beautiful clothes. With this hug, my image will be completely ruined!"”
Murong Yan 'er rolled her eyes.”This was what Yuan Zinuo had scolded her. She found it very interesting, so she learned it.
Murong Yan 'er retreated to the left and right. The two of them were locked in their rooms, eating snacks and melon seeds while chatting about what had happened in the past year.
"Shu Fei Niangniang, the emperor invites Miss Qi Yun to have lunch together!”The palace maid knocked on the door.
Murong Yan 'er pursed her lips." I've been in the palace for a year, and Ouyang Xu has never had a meal alone with me!”Her tone was like that of a resentful woman.
"Don't you like our Yu 'er? Why? Have you fallen in love with someone else?" Yuan Zinuo knew that Murong Yan 'er was joking. She stood up and moved closer to Murong Yan' er, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"Watch your words. What do you mean by your Yu 'er? That's mine!”Murong Yan 'er also stood up. However, her height hadn't grown in the past year, while Yuan Zinuo was growing up like a sapling. The difference in height between the two was too big, so she could only look up at Yuan Zinuo.
"Hmph, then don't speak like a resentful wife!”Yuan Zinuo walked out arrogantly.
"No matter what, Ouyang Xu and I are husband and wife in name. I don't care, I want to go!”Murong Yan 'er was a typical person who wanted the world to be in chaos, so she followed him out.
" Do you believe that I'll tell Gongsun that you snore and grind your teeth when you sleep? You don't like to wash your feet…"
"Stop, I'm not going, okay?!" Murong Yan 'er pouted. What was this? She only knew how to bully her.
Yuan Zinuo raised her eyebrows and strode out of the room.
Outside the door, a palace servant was waiting with her head lowered. When she saw Yuan Zinuo come out, she went forward in a flattering manner." Miss Qi Yun, the Emperor is waiting for you to have lunch together!"”
"Let's go!" Yuan Zinuo turned around and smiled at Murong Yan 'er as a farewell.
There was a soft sedan chair outside the door. Yuan Zinuo boarded the sedan chair and arrived at Ouyang Xu's Zhengyang Hall in less than fifteen minutes.
Ouyang Xu stood on the stairs in his dragon robe with his hands behind his back. When he saw that the sedan had stopped, he slowly walked down the stairs and stood beside the sedan. He stretched out his hand." I've been waiting for you for a long time!"”
Yuan Zinuo got out of the sedan chair and placed her hand on Ouyang Xu's palm." Murong Yan 'er pulled me and talked for a long time!”
"Previously, she mentioned to me a few times that she wanted to invite you to the palace. At that time, you were in Cloud City and didn't get your wish. She knew that you wanted to enter the palace, so she came to me a few days ago and asked you to accompany her for a chat!”Ouyang Xu held Yuan Zinuo's hand and slowly walked up the stairs.
Zhengyang Hall was similar to an ordinary emperor's bedroom. They were all decorated with bright yellow as the main color and dragons as the main decorative totem. It was so dazzling that it made people's eyes uncomfortable.
Lunch in the palace was nothing more than a few more dishes. The dishes were more exquisite and the cutlery was more expensive. There was nothing special about eating them.
"What's wrong? The food doesn't suit your taste?" Ouyang Xu saw that Yuan Zinuo was not in the mood to eat, so he scooped a bowl of soup for her." Drink some soup!"”
"It's not that I don't like it. It's the emperor's lunch. It's rare to eat it once in a lifetime!”Yuan Zinuo held the bowl of soup and took a sip," I was just thinking about Murong Yan 'er's words, I…"
"Emperor, Consort De's personal palace maid is here! " He said…" The palace servant who went to look for Yuan Zinuo walked in with his head lowered. Ouyang Xu had told him before that no one was allowed to disturb him and Yuan Zinuo eating. He had no choice but to come in.
Ouyang Xu furrowed his brows, and there was anger in his eyes." Consort De? Why, is Zhen's words not comparable to Consort De?”
The servant knelt on the ground with a thud." This servant wouldn't dare. The palace maid said that Consort De fainted just now…"
"If you fainted, you should go and find the imperial doctor. Why are you looking for me?”Ouyang Xu's voice became louder and louder, and his entire body emitted a chill, scaring the palace servant so much that his entire body trembled.
"I, I found the imperial physician. The imperial physician said, said that Consort De is pregnant!”The palace servant finally mustered up the courage to finish speaking. When he heard that Consort De was pregnant, he thought that it was a joyous occasion. Ouyang Xu had been on the throne for more than a year, and none of the concubines in the harem were pregnant. Ouyang Xu would definitely be very happy to hear that, so he dared to come in and disturb her. Now, it was too late for regret.
