No Love

Shen Jiayi gave some instructions and then walked towards the Xingting Mansion Garden with Beichen Jun.

We discussed the next major policy direction while walking.

"Your Majesty, I have something unclear."

Beichen said,

"The Lord of Wushang City is a mediocre person, why let him in? With his ability, he can't stir up trouble in the court, nor can he control the people in Taohua Palace. This move is a useless one no matter how you look at it."

Shen Jiayi said indifferently: "He can control Princess Peach Blossom. Others can't do that."

Beichen Jun: "..." Too careless. His mother is the real powerful official!

This woman is cruel and ruthless. She turns romantic dealings into power-for-sex transactions.

Your Majesty is going to touch her!

……

Wang Yuqi led Liu Xiaoqiao into the Yangui Cottage, where there were twenty-four fairies. The moment they came in, they led the two of them to take a bath.

Half a minute later, Liu Xiaoqiao came out in a yellow cloud-light brocade dress. The fairy combed her hair into the most popular girl's bun in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, not counting a full set of ruby ​​head ornaments, and eight golden phoenix hairpins were inserted in her hair. It was bright and had the face of a nouveau riche.

Wang Yuqi came back from the shower, wearing a pink and purple hairband, a simple ponytail tied behind her head, a simple dark purple outfit, and half-length boots of the same color. Seeing Liu Xiaoqiao like this, she couldn't help but smile.

She couldn't bear to hurt Liu Xiaoqiao's self-esteem, so she joked:

"Haha, Xiao Qiaoqiao, who told you to dress like this? Although it looks noble, it's too ostentatious."

"I know."

Liu Xiaoqiao walked up to her with a smile on her face, her steps brisk and her posture nimble, causing the hair accessories on her head to jingle.

"I have never worn these jewels before. Let me experience the makeup of a fairy. Hmm, it's quite heavy."

After Liu Xiaoqiao circled around Wang Yuqi, she asked in a flattering manner:

"My manners are okay, right? Look, I didn't even throw the hairpins on my face."

"Hehe, I, I can't say."

Wang Yuqi laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She said that she failed in etiquette, but that did not mean she didn't understand etiquette at all.

But looking at her manners, Xiao Qiaoqiao's etiquette is simply appalling.

"Change, change, this won't do. If someone sees you and asks you to perform according to etiquette, I will be implicated as well."

If Tie Suanpan is determined to punish you for such a disrespectful behavior, I can only shamelessly plead for mercy.

However, it is a bit of a waste to start playing the emotional card so early.

"I'll wait for you. Change it back quickly. To be honest, I have always failed the court etiquette test. Please. I don't want to take an additional etiquette test just to dress up for a banquet."

Liu Xiaoqiao looked at her with a smile, and then she looked at the fairies whose faces had no unnecessary expressions, and she laughed so hard that tears came out.

"Hahaha... I knew I was pretty good. Wait for me, I'll change it back right away."

When Liu Xiaoqiao came back, she was wearing a light yellow long skirt embroidered with peony flowers of the same color, and a short robe embroidered with peony flowers of the same color. She did not wear a shawl, and her hair was simply tied up in a bun, with only a lotus hairpin inserted in it.

The two smiled at each other, linked hands, and followed the fairy into the depths of the garden.

The mountains and rocks are stacked up, the peaks are gathered together, the green pines are like ointment, and the green cypresses are against the mountain.

The flowers are in full bloom and the jade trees and branches rise one after another.

There are winding corridors, carved beams and painted pillars, and beautiful fairies flying around.

The Xingting Mansion Garden is located on the hillside among the green mountains and occupies the entire Guihe Peak.

Guihe Peak, as its name suggests, one side of the mountain looks like a dancing crane, while the other side looks like a divine turtle going out to sea.

Fairy mist lingers all around, and the luminous pearls dotted among them sparkle brightly, illuminating the entire Guihe Peak as bright as day.

Between the peaks shrouded in fairy mist, shadows of people were everywhere. People in strange clothes were all filled with joy, holding up glass cups and toasting with people they knew and didn't know.

The fairy wanted to lead them into the Xingyue Pavilion, where five tables were placed. The main table was against the Turtle and Crane Peak, facing the shadowy gathering site in front of the mountain. Behind each table sat a majestic-looking man in purple.

One of them is Beichen Jun.

The other four tables were all accompanied by young and handsome immortal servants.

Only the side of Shen Jiayi, who was sitting in the middle seat, was empty.

Shen Jiayi had already sat down, his eyes fixed on the people strolling in the garden from afar.

It was Liu Xiaoqiao's first time attending such a banquet, and she felt that a pair of eyes were not enough.

From time to time, fairy servants or fairy maids would pass by carrying fruit and vegetable snacks, and she would immediately take some fruit and vegetable snacks to share with Wang Yuqi.

In this way, the two of them walked and looked, completely forgetting that they were also there to attend the banquet.

Wang Yuqi took this opportunity to explain to her the basic rules of survival here.

Liu Xiaoqiao took notes seriously.

Looking at the banquet scene decorated with a dazzling array of jewels, Liu Xiaoqiao asked seriously:

"You're smart, leaving these treasures like this, aren't you afraid that someone will steal them?"

Wang Yuqi pointed at the immortal servants and maidens that shuttled around in every corner and said seriously:

"Don't be fooled by their frail appearance. In fact, each of them is a martial arts master. Therefore, unless they are seeking death, no one will touch anything here except food."

Liu Xiaoqiao understood instantly that if she hadn't followed the right person, she wouldn't even know where the entrance to the banquet was.

"This place is just like the exam site in front of Xingting Mansion. It is under the surveillance of others. We are just like them. Our every word and action is under their surveillance."

Wang Yuqi added,

"From the moment we entered the garden, we were already within their security area. We have no privileges here. All our actions must comply with the rules here."

As Liu Xiaoqiao listened, she lost her appetite. How uncomfortable would it be to eat while being watched by others?

"I understand why you don't like being around him. Too formal."

Liu Xiaoqiao looked at a fairy walking by her and no longer had the urge to reach out for the snacks.

These beauties who look frail and unable to take care of themselves are actually so powerful.

Depressing!

Fortunately, I didn't plan to do anything bad.

Fortunately.

"Smart, is it appropriate for us to go out like this? I remember he invited you to the party."

Liu Xiaoqiao touched her neck and felt a chill on her back, as if someone was staring at her. And it was an unfriendly stare!

"Is your boyfriend getting impatient? To be honest, I'm really afraid that he will suddenly appear here and slap me to death because I have monopolized you."

Wang Yuqi: "..." He really wouldn't do that. Because he had many guards, and every guard could do these things for him.

However, deep down, I was reluctant to tell her the truth, fearing that she would leave me out of fear.

After all, we only have one life, and if we lose friends we can always find new ones.

"No, he's not that unreasonable."

Wang Yuqi felt a little guilty. After all, Tie Suanpan was very scary when he was unreasonable. Although, I was never afraid of him.

But you are not me.

"Besides, we're just walking slower, we don't plan on going back."

"You still want to stand him up!"

Liu Xiaoqiao immediately shook her head.

"No, we have to get there. If he can't see you, walk up to him and have dinner with him. Tell me, will you be able to see me tomorrow? I feel like he'll slap me to death the next moment! Come with me quickly."

After walking two steps, Liu Xiaoqiao stopped and looked at Wang Yuqi and smiled.

"I don't know where to go?"

"..."

Wang Yuqi also smiled, pulled her arm, and walked towards the deserted pavilion halfway up the mountain.

The moment they slowly walked up the stone steps of the Star-Moon Pavilion, Shen Jiayi's face turned from gloomy to bright.

The people sitting at the other four tables in the Xingyue Pavilion breathed a sigh of relief.

The fairy maid serving at the side showed a subtle look of relief.

As the two figures got closer, a bright smile appeared on Shen Jiayi's face.

At this moment, a vocal conversation began in the Star-Moon Pavilion.

Fairy servants and fairies held the freshly picked fairy fruits and placed them on the table.

-

The two of them climbed the stairs and slowly moved into the pavilion. Liu Xiaoqiao wisely chose to sit in a corner nearby. Although there was no table here, it didn't matter. There were so many fairies and fairy servants here. It would be enough to take some of the fairy fruits and snacks they brought.

Shen Jiayi's eyes were always fixed on Wang Yuqi. Wang Yuqi looked at Liu Xiaoqiao with a posture that was very similar to her own in the past.

He couldn't help but laugh. He walked over and dragged her to Shen Jiayi's desk. He pressed her to one end of the desk and whispered:

"Remember the rules I told you."

After saying that, he stood up and stood behind Shen Jiayi, saying nothing.

Shen Jiayi turned her head and looked at her, without touching any of the food on the table.

"Don't look at me. I get sleepy after sitting for a while."

Wang Yuqi was also helpless. In a banquet with hundreds of thousands of people, he was staring at me, as if he was afraid that others would not know that I was back.

"Turn your head back."

"Do not."

Shen Jiayi pursed her lips, with deep disappointment in her eyes, and said in a soft tone,

"If you feel sleepy, you can sleep against me. You will get tired standing like this. If you get tired, I will feel sad because I will feel that I have not taken good care of you. You will get tired because I have not taken good care of you..."

"stop."

Wang Yuqi looked at the people walking up the stone steps and compromised immediately. If this guy kept looking at her like this, she would be exposed immediately without even introducing herself!

The veil that the captain worked so hard to use is just a decoration!

"I'll sit next to you. But don't keep looking at me!"

Shen Jiayi didn't nod, nor did she answer.

Liu Xiaoqiao simply ignored the transaction between the two. It was obvious that the little fool had no initiative in front of him. He was always passive!

Because he is thick-skinned enough!

You can ignore anyone's gaze!

Besides, no one here dared to look him in the face!

Humph,

mean.

She just wanted to bully the little fool because she was kind-hearted. She just didn't want to waste other people's time. She didn't want others to spend their efforts and the opportunity to win the face wasted.

Why are you pushing her like this?

"Deacon Liu, are the snacks at today's banquet not to your taste?"

Shen Jiayi didn't even look at it and said lightly,

"You look very unhappy."

Liu Xiaoqiao: "..." Can I say that I was mad at you? No, I'm afraid of death!

"It's not like that, sir. The snacks are delicious, and there are a lot of fruits. I've never been to such a grand banquet in my life, but I'm a little nervous."

Liu Xiaoqiao answered seriously, still not daring to look at Shen Jiayi.

"Girl, this is what you like to eat."

Shen Jiayi ignored her and went on

Liu Xiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief and sat quietly, picking up the cake and eating it silently.

"The lotus cakes at Xingting Mansion are very good, and the jade cakes are also delicious, especially the steamed cloud cakes, which are better than those at Xingchensi."

Wang Yuqi stretched out one hand to grab his wrist, pointed the other finger at her mouth filled with snacks, and said in a sobbing voice:

"I can eat by myself, can you please be quiet for a while?"

Shen Jiayi looked apologetic, and hurriedly picked up a jade bowl filled with amber jade dew, and fed it to Wang Yuqi's mouth attentively, her voice extremely gentle.

"Lingbo Jade Dew, specially brought from Lingbo Tianyun. Drink some to moisten your body. It's all my fault. Did you choke?"

Wang Yuqi smiled helplessly and wanted to grab the jade bowl to drink for herself, but she was not good enough in drinking. She had no choice but to let him feed her.

"Dong Ling Immortal Lord has arrived."

"The Palace Master of Niyutian Palace has arrived."

"The Northern Spirit Realm Bei Ming Divine Lord has arrived."

"The Lord of Yunxiao Palace has arrived."

"Beichen Jun... is here."

A fairy servant announced loudly, and the fairies immediately got busy, rushing to the fairy fruit tree to pick new fruits.

The immortal servants brought four tables and arranged them on both sides. At this point, the positions of the nine tables in the Star-Moon Pavilion were complete.

Liu Xiaoqiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw four fairy-like figures walking up the stone steps.

Two of them looked familiar, one was the master Changliu who ruled the Xingting Palace, and the other was an old immortal with white hair and beard. He was wearing a white Bagua immortal robe, exactly the same as the old immortal in the temple.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty."

Four people walked into the Star-Moon Pavilion, straightened their clothes, and knelt down together.

Shen Jiayi took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the stains from Wang Yuqi's mouth, looking at her with a smile.

Wang Yuqi raised her eyebrows and looked at the sparsely starred sky, biting her lip:

I knew you wouldn't take me out to play for nothing!

Waiting for me here!

He quickly stood up, walked to Liu Xiaoqiao, pulled her up, and whispered:

"Come and live."

"What are you doing?"

Liu Xiaoqiao was a little confused. There was no need to serve tea or water. Where were all the fairy servants and maidens? Eat, my mouth is always busy.

"Kowtow to someone."

Wang Yuqi said helplessly, fearing that Liu Xiaoqiao didn't understand, and explained:

“These old ministers are all millions of years old. He is the monarch and does not need to return the gift. However, there is a rule that is not a rule: respect the old and love the young.

So, after the senior officials of his age have performed the ceremony, I, as a person of the same generation, have to return the ceremony on his behalf. Moreover, you and I are both guards, and we should not accept the ceremony from others. We must return the ceremony."

Liu Xiaoqiao instantly felt like she was struck down by thunder!

what logic?

They didn't kowtow to us, but they want us to return the favor?

Next time there is a banquet like this, I will never come even if you kill me!

Wang Yuqi was on the left, and Liu Xiaoqiao was on the right. They kowtowed three times respectfully in the direction of the four people.

Liu Xiaoqiao wanted to get up, but Wang Yuqi quickly patted her hands and whispered:

"I forgot to tell you. We can only get up after they get up."

Liu Xiaoqiao: “…” I really can’t blame you for not wanting to come. I don’t want to come again either!

"My dear, please stand up."

Shen Jiayi said gently, holding a white jade teacup in her hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The four men then stood up and walked to the tables that suited their status, standing there with no intention of sitting down.

Wang Yuqi glanced at Liu Xiaoqiao and nodded, and the two of them stood up and quietly returned to their seats to continue being qualified foodies.
