The empress called her sister, and the goddess was willing to enter the mortal world

The sky gradually turned white and the flute music stopped.

"Good morning, little star." A voice behind her made her stop.

She turned around and looked back, "Why is Ziyou here so early?"

"I'm here to see the beautiful and kind musician." The gentle voice was like a spring breeze entering my ears. "You haven't slept for two consecutive nights. Does your body want it?"

"I just thought that after Ziyou gave me this flute, I haven't played it for you many times."

Ziyou lowered her gaze and stared at the flute in her hand. "It turns out that Xiao Xingxing feels guilty." She walked closer to Nan Wanxing and reached out to touch the jade flute. "Why don't you leave it here with me for a while? I'm really addicted to the music you played these past two days. I haven't played the flute for a long time."

Nan Wanxing did not doubt it and held the flute in front of his chest. When he handed it over, he suddenly thought of something, "I have played this flute before..."

"I know. What's the problem?" She looked at her thoughtfully. "Little Xingxing, are you shy?"

The first ray of sunlight in the morning passed through the clouds and covered Ziyou. She was reflected in a warm golden light, which made her dazed for a moment.

It wasn't until the other person waved his hand in front of her eyes that she came back to her senses, "Xiao Xingxing, you hold it so tightly, but you don't want to borrow it for a while?"

"No, it was you who gave it to me. There's no question of whether I am willing or not."

Ziyou tilted her head and looked at her playfully, "I'll borrow it for a while and return it. In return, I'll prepare a surprise for you tonight." Her smiling eyes followed the other person's movement, "I keep my promise." The smile was very meaningful.

These words made Nan Wanxing at a loss, as she was in the wrong first.

When she saw the smile on Ziyou's face, her mood also became happy.

Seeing her so happy again, nothing else seemed so important.

"I'm not in a hurry, Ziyou can take more time." She looked up at the sky, "I have to go to court, I'll come to see you later." Halfway through the walk, she turned around and said, "There will be a banquet at noon today, Ziyou remember to come."

After Ziyou sent her away with a smile, he held the flute in front of his eyes and entered the consciousness space with a thought.

On the other side, at the court meeting, Nan Wanxing saw the reports from the ministers and found no major events that would affect the national economy and people's livelihood.

Although they were in the temple physically, their hearts had already drifted away.

Seeing that they were distracted, she spoke: "Today's banquet will be held at noon and will last longer than previous banquets. I will give you the opportunity to fully display your talents. Please seize the opportunity."

After hearing His Majesty's words, their eyes became much brighter.

They have been waiting anxiously these past few days, and finally, they have a chance to gain the favor of the gods.

After the court session, the ministers slowly moved towards the banquet hall.

Before the banquet started, the palace maids and eunuchs were already busy setting up the venue. The luxurious and magnificent banquet table was filled with all kinds of beautiful jade utensils, delicious food and fine wine.

As the sun moved, the invited guests arrived at the venue one after another. There were civil and military officials as well as those who had successfully passed the test. They all smiled and greeted each other politely, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

"Emperor Beijing and Empress."

When the two of them entered, everyone stood up and saluted, expressing their respect in unison.

The two nodded warmly and, led by the palace maid, sat down in the position just below the highest seat.

People were talking in low voices. When the midday sun was at its hottest, the Empress and Ziyou came slowly and appeared in front of everyone, walking side by side.

"Greetings to the goddess, greetings to His Majesty."

The people in the venue saluted respectfully until the empress said "excuse me" and then they raised their heads.

Nan Wanxing was wearing a dark casual suit today, while Ziyou was wearing a purple robe. One dark and one purple, one noble and one elegant, they made the surrounding flowers lose their color.

The two level positions at the top belong exclusively to them.

"Ziyou, please!" Nan Wanxing respectfully asked her to sit down first.

"Together we will."

As they took their seats, singing and dancing began and the banquet officially began.

"Ziyou." Nan Wanxing raised his glass and toasted her from a distance.

The corners of Ziyou's mouth showed a graceful arc. She picked up the wine glass and returned the greeting, then raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.

She put the wine glass back on the table, supported her face with one hand, and watched the singing and dancing with interest.

"They are all pretty, little star. Beauty is not the first priority for those who enter your palace, right?"

"I'm not such a superficial person. Today, because Ziyou is attending the banquet, I specially selected the best ones." She smiled gently, "What I show to Ziyou must be the best."

"It is indeed excellent, but unfortunately..."

"what happened?"

"They are indeed one in a million in appearance, but it's a pity that they are a little overshadowed by Little Star here."

"Ziyou always praises me for being pretty? Could it be that beauty is very attractive to Ziyou?" Nan Wanxing raised his eyebrows, "Is Ziyou attracted to my face?"

"Is it not possible?" Her every smile and frown was dreamy, "Everything about you interests me." Her unique charm was fully released at this moment.

The people in the field looked at the two people on the platform, talking about these things without any hesitation, and pretending to eat in unison.

"Then I'm honored." She smiled happily, "Don't worry Ziyou, I will protect my face well."

She turned her gaze to the ministers and said, "Those who have passed the test before, please give a signal." Her pretty face was now cold and she was completely different from just now.

The ministers looked at the different treatments given to them by their Majesty, their lips trembled, and they slowly stood up.

The people in the field stood up one after another, and there were quite a few of them.

"Before you passed the test, I didn't let you experience the dream. Today, I am invited by your Majesty to make up for it for you." She put down the hand that supported her face, "Some people who didn't take part in the test for some reason can also enjoy the experience of a peaceful sleep this time."

Those ministers who regretted not being able to understand the meaning stood up excitedly when they heard the goddess speak, and bowed to express their gratitude.

"The Empress has worked hard for you. Why should I thank you?"

The minister suddenly realized what was going on and turned to thank the empress, his behavior becoming more respectful.

The empress is very generous to her own people!

By seeking benefits for her subordinates in this way, many more people in the field are willing to work for her sincerely.

After all, who would refuse a leader who has the means and truly treats his subordinates well?

Nan Wanxing raised his glass again, revealing a tacit smile between them.

Ziyou cooperated very well and returned the favor with a glass of wine.

Ziyou thought about it, and an exquisite wine jug appeared on everyone's table.

She took in everyone's expressions, except for one person who remained calm from beginning to end.

She shifted her gaze to him and said, "You have strong self-control." Her affirmative tone instantly made him the target of everyone's criticism.
