Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

The four of them stepped into the gate of the Xingli Palace. The atmosphere inside the palace was solemn and dignified, giving people a deep sense of oppression.

Feng Qingyue was wearing a red robe, with a dignified demeanor and a calm gaze. Following behind her was a woman in a light white gauze dress - Su Jin.

Jun Lingyuan was dressed in a black brocade robe, his eyebrows and eyes were as handsome as sculptures, and his temperament was cold, as if he accidentally matched the majesty of this palace.

Feng Qingcheng followed closely behind, wearing a purple long dress, gentle as water, with an extraordinary temperament.

As soon as I stepped into the palace gate, the eunuch from yesterday came to greet me respectfully.

He said respectfully, "Master, please follow me." The eunuch waved his hand, indicating that they should follow him to the banquet hall.

Along the way, the palace servants saluted one after another, and the atmosphere was solemn and depressing, as if every step was full of ritual.

Not long after they left, Princess Jiang Huaxing, dressed in gorgeous pink clothes, hurried over to the banquet hall.

When she saw Jun Lingyuan, her face immediately broke into smiles. She walked up to him excitedly, saying with a bit of playfulness and intimacy: "Brother Lingyuan, you are here!" Her tone was full of excitement, and it was obvious that she was very familiar with Jun Lingyuan.

Jun Lingyuan was slightly stunned, with a hint of helplessness and alienation in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He nodded gently, his tone gentle: "Princess Huaxing."

Seeing this, Jiang Huaxing pulled Jun Lingyuan's arm without hesitation, and said in a coquettish tone: "Let's go, father has reserved a seat for you, come quickly." As she spoke, she walked towards the main seat in the banquet hall.

Feng Qingyue stood there, frowned slightly, and a sense of helplessness surged in her heart.

She watched the scene silently, a faint smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

As if noticing Feng Qingyue's mood, Feng Qingcheng asked softly, "Qingyue, are you okay?" A hint of concern flashed in her eyes.

Feng Qingyue shook her head gently, her eyes still calm. "I'm fine." She smiled faintly, with a hint of teasing in her eyes. "This princess is really a child."

Feng Qingcheng frowned: "She has been entangled with Ling Yuan in the past few years, and Ling Yuan has never responded to her kindness. This time he may have considered the decency at the banquet, so he won't be too cold." His tone was calm, as if he was explaining for Jun Lingyuan.

Feng Qingyue nodded: "I know." She turned around gently, as if she didn't want to continue discussing this topic.

"Let's go. Now that we're here, let's not delay any longer." As soon as she finished speaking, she followed Jun Lingyuan and walked towards the banquet hall.

As they stepped into the banquet hall, they were greeted by the dazzling lights and the magnificent atmosphere of the palace.

The arrival of Princess Hua Xing and Jun Lingyuan attracted the attention of many people in the hall, and they were whispering about it.

Jiang Huaxing ignored the whispers around him and took Jun Lingyuan to the main seat.

Pointing to the seat, he smiled and said, "Brother Ling Yuan, sit here."

There was a glint of pride in her eyes, but she still kept her warm smile.

Jun Lingyuan nodded, turned his gaze to Feng Qingyue, and waved slightly: "Thank you, Princess, for leading the way for me. Please feel free to do as you please." Before he finished speaking, he sat down with Feng Qingyue.

At this moment, Jiang Huaxing's expression suddenly became somewhat unhappy.

She had planned to sit with Brother Ling Yuan, but she didn't expect Feng Qingyue to sit down with him.

Jiang Huaxing was secretly angry, but before he could speak, a majestic voice came from outside the banquet hall: "Xing'er, stop messing around, go back and sit down."

Everyone stood up and turned to look towards the door.

Feng Qingyue's heart moved slightly. Seeing that Jun Lingyuan was still sitting in his seat and did not stand up, she did not stand up either.

She couldn't help but think in her heart that he was worthy of being the one she liked. He was so domineering and could remain so calm and composed even on someone else's territory.

Following this majestic voice, the atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly became solemn.

All the guests stood up and saluted solemnly.

A man in a yellow brocade robe and with an imposing manner walked into the hall. He was the emperor of the Xingli Empire - Jiang Tianhao.

At this moment, the entire banquet hall seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere was silent.

Everyone stood respectfully, waiting for the emperor's arrival, and no one dared to speak.

Jun Lingyuan and Feng Qingyue remained seated with stern expressions, seemingly unconcerned with anything around them.

Jiang Tianhao's gaze swept across the hall. He appeared gentle on the surface, but his deep eyes swept across the entire audience.

Seeing that Jun Lingyuan and Feng Qingyue hadn't stood up, a subtle emotion flashed across his eyes, which was then concealed by a smile. He slowly said, "Please sit down, everyone." His voice was gentle, yet it carried an undeniable authority.

At this moment, Jiang Huaxing's face instantly became unhappy. She glared at Feng Qingyue fiercely, secretly angry in her heart.

She had intended to take this opportunity to get close to Jun Lingyuan, but she didn't expect Feng Qingyue to sit down with him, completely ruining her plan.

After Jiang Tianhao sat down, he glanced at the entire audience and said with a smile, "Everyone, I have a few distinguished guests to introduce to today's banquet."

He turned to Jun Lingyuan, a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes: "This is the master of Xuanyuan Pavilion, Jun Lingyuan."

As soon as the words fell, a low discussion broke out in the banquet hall.

The guests turned to look at Jun Lingyuan, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.

"So he is the Master of Xuanyuan Pavilion, Jun Lingyuan..."

"Xuanyuan Pavilion has only been established for a few years, and it has developed to this day. The Pavilion Master is indeed extraordinary."

"He looks so young, I didn't expect he's the head of Xuanyuan Pavilion."

"The Pavilion Master is so young, yet he has been able to build up such a huge power in such a short period of time. It's really not easy."

"No wonder he can sit here, he really has some strength." These whispers echoed in the hall. The volume was not loud, but every detail was clearly heard by everyone.

People's eyes were full of curiosity and inquiry, and they seemed to be guessing the purpose of Jun Lingyuan's attendance at the banquet today.

Jun Lingyuan still sat there expressionlessly, listening to the discussions around him, but there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

At this time, a man whispered to the person next to him: "He is indeed different. No wonder the princess entered with him." His tone was full of emotion.

The person next to him nodded gently: "Xuanyuan Pavilion has been able to rise in just a few years. The Pavilion Master must have extraordinary wisdom and ability."

He turned to look at Feng Qingyue, a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes: "But who is the woman next to him?"

The man's gaze fell on Feng Qingyue and he whispered, "Could it be his wife?"

Just as these whispers were echoing in the hall, Jiang Tianhao coughed lightly, breaking everyone's whispers: "Now that everyone knows Pavilion Master Jun Lingyuan, there is another distinguished guest next. He may arrive a little later, so please wait a moment." He looked at the eunuch beside him, motioning for confirmation.

During the waiting time, the discussion about Jun Lingyuan became more and more heated, and it seemed that no one could resist the curiosity and speculation about this young Pavilion Master.

"Do you think Xuanyuan Pavilion will intervene in the court? After all, its power is growing stronger and stronger."

"Haven't you heard? The Master of Xuanyuan Pavilion is calm and rational. He never makes unwise decisions easily. He never takes unnecessary risks."

"But he's so young, who knows how ambitious he will be in the future?"

"Since he can sit here, he has obviously been recognized by His Majesty."

The discussions became louder and louder, and more and more people began to pay attention to the ambiguous atmosphere between Jun Lingyuan and Feng Qingyue, speculating about their relationship.
