Traveling through a farmer’s house: Villain Nine Thousand Years Old, Stop!

Two days later, the palace

This day was Xiang Mingyue’s birthday, her thirty-seventh birthday.

Chi Jingrui, as in previous years, held a grand banquet. It seemed that the previous turbulent relationship between the royal family and the Xiang family was an illusion, which made everyone confused.

The ministers entered the palace with their wives and children, feeling uneasy.

Royal Garden

At this time, the Imperial Garden was decorated with lights and colorful decorations hung everywhere.

Palace maids in pink palace costumes were walking back and forth carrying fruit plates, while eunuchs, all dressed in light blue, were standing nearby waiting to be sent out at any time.

After all the ministers had arrived, Xiang Duan arrived late with his talented people.

Seeing this, everyone stood up and saluted: "Your subordinate greets Prime Minister Xiang!"

"Your humble servant greets Prime Minister Xiang!"

"Your humble servant greets Prime Minister Xiang!"

Xiang Duan was wearing a dark purple official uniform and an official hat. He walked slowly with square steps, and his every move was full of majesty.

The Xiang family followed behind him, each of them dressed in gorgeous clothes, with their chins held high and a proud attitude.

Chi Jingrui stood not far away and watched all this. Seeing the ministers being respectful to the Xiang family, anger and murderous intent surged in his heart.

You forced me to do this!

Chi Jingrui swung his sleeves vigorously and walked towards the gate from the side.

Just then he walked to the entrance of the Imperial Garden and met Xiang Mingyue.

Xiang Mingyue was wearing a red phoenix robe, a phoenix crown on her head, and four phoenix hairpins on each side. Behind her were a large group of eunuchs and palace maids, and the formation was so grand that it was even more majestic than the emperor Chi Jingrui!

Xiang Mingyue paused when she saw Chi Jingrui, and the next second she saluted Chi Jingrui with a perfect smile on her face.

"I, my concubine, meet the Emperor!"

Chi Jingrui is also a good actor. With a hint of gentleness on his handsome face, he reached out and helped Xiang Mingyue up.

"Yue'er, what are you doing? Get up quickly. There's no need to be so distant between you and me."

Xiang Mingyue was stunned. She looked at the gentle man in front of her, and her mind couldn't help but recall the warm times they spent together when they were young.

Although she has Chi Chenze in her heart, she and Chi Jingrui also had a sincere relationship!

They lived a happy life for several years after their marriage, but as Chi Jingrui took concubines one after another, conflicts between them gradually broke out!

Xiang Mingyue hopes Chi Jingrui can be like Chi Chenze and only love one person in his life!

But Chi Jingrui felt that Xiang Mingyue was just using this as an excuse, as she clearly still had her royal brother Chi Chenze in her heart!

Finally, the two had their first quarrel, and Chi Jingrui even hit Xiang Mingyue.

It was this beating that made Xiang Mingyue completely cold-hearted. She smiled as she watched the harem gain more and more concubines.

Gradually, Xiang Mingyue indulged herself, and had more and more lovers. She became more and more unscrupulous, and even used them to build her own power!

In the end, the two people who were supposed to be a loving couple became the most familiar strangers and the people they once hated the most.

From then on, Chi Jingrui only called Xiang Mingyue by her name or "Queen", and had not called her "Yue'er" for a long time.

"Yue'er, what's wrong with you?"

Chi Jingrui's voice brought Xiang Mingyue back from her memories. A hint of sadness flashed across Xiang Mingyue's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.

Now that we have come to this point, there is no turning back!

Xiang Mingyue calmed herself down, and with the help of Chi Jingrui, she stood up. She looked at Chi Jingrui tenderly, with a hint of nostalgia in her voice.

"Your Majesty has not called me Yue'er for a long time."

Hearing this, Chi Jingrui's heart skipped a beat, and the beautiful past flashed through his mind one by one. But it finally stopped at the memorial from two days ago!

I will never fail, this world belongs to me!

The only trace of tenderness was suppressed in Chi Jingrui's heart. He showed a doting smile and reached out to pat Mingyue's back.

"Today is your birthday, Yue'er, just celebrate your birthday happily."

"No matter what, we are husband and wife. There is no such thing as a one-night stand between husband and wife, right?"

Xiang Mingyue's body was slightly stiff. Although Chi Jingrui acted very gentle, she felt a chill for no reason.

Xiang Mingyue clenched the handkerchief in her right hand, forced a smile, and began to change the subject.

"It's enough for me to know that the emperor has me in his heart. Let's go in quickly. It's time."

Chi Jingrui laughed loudly and repeated, "It's time to get going!"

Hearing this, Xiang Mingyue's bad premonition became stronger and stronger. She frowned slightly and glanced at Chi Jingrui carefully, but didn't see anything.

Yes, Chi Jingrui has always been a deep-minded person, and I can’t see through him at a glance!

The two of them had their own ulterior motives, but on the surface they pretended to be a loving couple as they slowly walked towards the Imperial Garden.

"The Emperor is here, the Queen is here!"

The eunuch's voice rang out, and the ministers and their wives in the Imperial Garden all stood up and saluted.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The Imperial Garden was filled with people kneeling on the ground, their heads knocked on the ground, not daring to look up. Only Xiang Duan bowed and saluted, which was very conspicuous.

The smile on Chi Jingrui's face froze, but he still forced himself to hold back and not get angry.

"Everyone, I love you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

After thanking him, the ministers stood up and returned to their seats. For a moment, no one spoke in the entire Imperial Garden, and there was a dead silence.

The ministers were not stupid, they all knew that the emperor and the Xiang family were about to break up. Now this banquet was not easy to come by!

Seeing that no one was talking, Chi Jingrui looked up. "Today is the Queen's birthday. I specially held this banquet to invite all of you to come and have fun together."

Seeing Chi Jingrui speak, some slick ministers quickly spoke up in agreement.

"The Emperor and the Empress are so loving and affectionate. We should learn from them. As the saying goes, a harmonious family prospers a country!"

"That's right. I happen to have a jade Guanyin to present to the Queen. I wish the Queen a thousand years of longevity!"

One, two, three...

The atmosphere gradually became lively, and those who gave gifts came on stage to present their gifts in order of their official rank.

Chi Jingrui looked at the birthday gift and nodded secretly. Now his private treasury could be enriched a little more.

The tribute had just ended when Leng Jinye and Yun Zhixia came along.

"His Royal Highness the Night King is here!"

The eunuch shouted hurriedly, not daring to be negligent at all.

The bustling Imperial Garden suddenly became quiet and everyone looked over.

It didn't matter that they just looked at it, but everyone's faces turned pale and they all stole glances at Xiang Mingyue and the Xiang family.

I’m afraid that His Royal Highness the Night King is here to mess things up!

Leng Jinye was wearing a white dress without any patterns or embroidery on it, just a plain white dress. Her head was simply tied up with a black headband.

Yun Zhixia was even more exaggerated. Not only did she wear a white dress, but she also had a white veil on her head. From a distance, it looked like she was attending a funeral!
