The female master reported to the palace master, the master is favored by the road

The man lowered his voice and said, "Do you think that the traveling princess will appear at this year's state banquet?"

Another male voice mocked, "It's hard to say, what if His Highness is still unwilling to come back because of that person?"

The young man in red continued to leisurely savor the cakes on the table, ignoring the discussions below.

Ming Si knelt beside Zi'an and waited on him: "Master, do you need me to take care of it?"

The young man took the last bite of the crystal biscuit, took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped his slender fingers.

"No need, just a clown."

At this time, "Her Majesty the Queen has arrived——

Lord Yan has arrived——"

The sharp female voice broke the harmony.

Everyone at the banquet stood up and then knelt, "Greetings to Her Majesty, Long live Her Majesty.

Lord Yan, may you live a thousand years and a thousand years."

Ji Lanhuang, wearing a red and golden phoenix robe and a crown on her head, and Yan Guijun, wearing a lotus-colored dress and a hair tied with tassels and golden hairpins, walked slowly to the top.

In addition to the two nobles who were walking up, the only person standing aside and leaning slightly was the princess who was wearing a fiery red dress and a golden crown with her hair tied up.

Ji Lanhuang sat down and said, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty——"

Zi'an sat down, resting his chin on his hand in boredom.

Ji Lanhuang glanced at Zi'an, who was poking at the cakes out of boredom, and ordered the envoy Fu Xiangxuan to come to the audience.

"Announce, the third daughter of Xilei King is here to see you..."

"The second daughter of the Northern Han king is here to see you..."

——??

"The young master of Zhongzhou City is here to see you..."

The man in red who had been waiting at the top with boredom suddenly perked up and looked towards the direction of the palace gate with interest, holding his chin.

The other hand, hidden under the wide sleeves, was playing with an exquisite and beautiful dagger.

As the exotic women and men of different styles entered the hall to express their gratitude, Zi'an set his sights on the last woman and man to come in.

Both of them were good-looking, wearing the same white cassock, the woman was tall and the man was petite.

The woman bowed to Ji Lanhuang above her and said, "Your Majesty, I came here with my master's will, and I am in love with Nanling."

His words were arrogant and without any respect.

Ji Lanhuang still had a gentle smile on his face: "Young Master Zhongzhou is thoughtful. Please take a seat."

The current young master of Zhongzhou, Mu Xin, is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage and calls himself a Venerable.

It seemed that he didn't expect Ji Lanhuang to be so light and his expression looked a little ugly.

Fortunately, the man next to her gently pulled her, and she realized the purpose of her visit.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When he stood up, he glanced at the abrupt man in red in the hall with malicious eyes. When he saw the other person's face, his eyes were filled with surprise, greed and lust.

Zi'an and Ji Lanhuang both noticed it, the former remained relaxed and at ease, while the latter's expression became less gentle.

But considering the occasion, nothing happened.

"Master Dongyun is here to see you..."

With this sound, the hall, which had been noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.

Zi'an secretly hoped that person would show up.

Kong Qi, with silver hair and white clothes, walked into the hall with elegant steps, stood in the middle of the hall, bowed slightly, and said in a clear voice: "Master Dongyun, I pay my respects to Queen Nanling. May the Queen be well and safe."

In the hall, one could hear a pin drop. The ministers, who had not heard the Queen's voice for a long time, were a little confused, while some brave ones quietly looked up.

They saw their queen staring at Dongyun's master in a daze.

Fu Xiang coughed lightly, and Ji Lanhuang came back to his senses: "Master Si, thank you for your courtesy. You must have come a long way. Please take a seat."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers below became even more curious and gossipy.

Zi'an looked at the man in black beside Kong Qi thoughtfully, and the next moment, he met a pair of gentle and bright phoenix eyes.

Zi'an was stunned at first, and wanted to see more clearly, but the man had already withdrawn his gaze.

He frowned, and when the Queen announced the start of the banquet, he whispered to Ming Si beside him, "Who are the envoys from Dongyun this time?"

Ming Si heated up a cup of hot wine for Zi An and replied, "My Lord, it's the Si Lord and the former Palace Master of Yunxiao Palace, Mu Yunyu! According to gossip, the mysterious Emperor of Dongyun is here too."

Zi'an's heart, which had been silent for two years, suddenly began to beat violently at this moment.

For some reason, he had a hidden expectation for this emperor.

She took a deep breath to calm herself, took the warm wine cup from Ming Si's hand, and brought it close to her red lips.

"Her Royal Highness has arrived——"

This time, the voice of the summoning nanny was sharper than ever.

In the hall, one could hear a pin drop. A female official's voice rang out in confusion: "Who's here?"

Another female official: "Which country's princess is this?"

Ping bell——

Zi'an, who had thrown the wine cup, sat up straight, looking towards the palace door with tears in his eyes.

The slender white fingers clasped the table in front of her, unconsciously exerting force, and the fingertips turned white.

The sound of the wine cup falling to the ground broke the silence of the moment. The royal relatives and nobles present seemed to have lost all their rules and became noisy like water splashing in an frying pan.

Everyone's inquiring, curious, and incredulous gazes all tacitly turned toward the direction of the palace gate.

I believe that if the queen is not present, the ministers in the palace will probably rush to the palace door.

With one step or two, the jade crown that symbolized Princess Nanling first came into view, and gradually a saintly face with extraordinary talent appeared in front of everyone. Then came her elegance in raising her hands and moving her feet, which made people fascinated and fearful.

The woman was wearing a black robe with a golden phoenix pattern on it, and a leather jade belt to show her slim waist, with a piece of the Princess's Gold Order embellished on it. The woman had a slender and upright figure, walked calmly, and exuded a fierce and oppressive aura.

As I stepped into the hall, I heard gasps from all around me...

The appearance of the mysterious Princess Nanling shocked many people, even envoys from other countries were stunned.

The woman stood in the center of the hall, facing Ji Lanhuang who was showing her emotions, raised her hands to hold each other, the black beads on her wrists swaying, and bowed slightly: "Your son pays respect to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be well."

"Hurry and get free of charge."

Ji Lanhuang stood up, walked down the stairs quickly, and reached out to help the person who had disappeared two years ago.

Linglong took a step back, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Ji Lanhuang's hand just stopped in mid-air, and the smile on the corner of her mouth froze on her face.

Just as he stood up, the ministers around him began to pay their respects: "Greetings to Her Royal Highness, Princess. May Your Highness live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

Among those kneeling on the ground, an invisible force held back a few of them, preventing them from kneeling.

Zi'an couldn't kneel down at this moment, his eyes were covered with tears, so blurred that he couldn't see the person he was thinking about in the hall.

I tried to wipe it with my hands, but the more I wiped, the blurrier the person in front of my eyes became.

Ji Lanhuang subconsciously looked towards the position of Envoy Dongyun, but the person she was thinking about was no longer there.

She took a deep breath and looked at Linglong: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, go see your husband."

Linglong leaned forward slightly: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

When he turned around, he said calmly to the people who were still kneeling, "No need to be polite."

He ignored everyone and strode towards the person he had been thinking about. Seeing that his pale face was full of tear marks and his eyes were filled with worry, he quickened his pace.

When Linglong approached, Ming Si knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Master."
