On this spring day, the flowers were blooming, the magpies were crowing, and a piece of great news came from outside the pass for Beishui. After five years of fighting on the Nanling and Beishui borders, we finally captured the Kunlong area with geographical advantages and the necessary conditions for conquering Nanling.

When the news reached the north, the whole country was celebrating. Junhuang was even more delighted. They gathered the ministers of the court and the princes and nobles to give a special celebration banquet to the returning general Su Kuang. The ceremony was extremely grand and magnificent, compared to half the
The Queen's birthday banquet a few months ago was even worse, it was really enviable
Junhuang still sat at the head of the east seat with the poppy by his side. Under him, Queen Mu Ciyou sat high on the ground. There were other concubines on both sides. The prince sat at the head of the west seat. It can be seen that his status was lower than that of one person and higher than that of ten thousand people.
On both sides, there were long rows of important ministers and their family members attending the ceremony. The princes and nobles of the previous dynasty sat in the last and least prominent position. Their status was clearly revealed. Once the emperor and the ministers came to power, their status was destined to be as soon as Junhuang came to power.
Having been reduced to the lowest level, being able to have them attend is considered a preferential treatment.
However, today's protagonist, the victorious general Su Kuang, is sitting in the middle of the court, being praised by all the court officials. However, he himself is indifferent. He has been fighting on the battlefield and dedicating his life to serve the court. How can he be proud and complacent with a few words of praise?
He drank water and wine silently, thinking that being so restrained in the palace would be better than fighting on the border with wine and meat. Moreover, Su Kuang's brothers did not have this honor, which made him grit his teeth even more.
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came: "The Ninth Prince and the Ninth Princess have arrived——"
When all the courtiers heard the words "Ninth Prince", they were immediately shocked. His prestige was so unforgettable that no one dared to forget it no matter how many dynasties he passed!
Su Kuang tightened his grip on the wine glass and inadvertently raised his eyes to look over. The arrogant and godlike man was the same as before, easily shocking the entire audience, even if he did nothing.
He couldn't compare to this momentum alone. Although the fierceness tempered by many years of fighting was still vulnerable to him, he admired the Ninth Prince more than Junhuang who sat on the throne of the emperor.
However, the woman beside him——
Is she the ninth princess in today's legend? As expected, she was as ugly as a ghost, but with a unique temperament. Standing next to Jun Mochen, she didn't feel out of place, but that face made Su Kuang shake his head.
, I really can’t compliment you
Junhuang narrowed his eyes deeply. He thought that the newlyweds did not give him the honor of being the king of a country and planned to miss the celebration banquet. He took a sip of water and opened his lips with a half-smile: "
I thought I wouldn’t be able to invite you, the newlyweds, to the celebration banquet held today for General Su’s return from the victory. I am here to congratulate you on the wedding of the Ninth Prince and the Princess.”
After hearing the holy words, the courtiers congratulated the newlyweds one after another. Although some were sincere and some were false, the congratulations continued one after another with great style.
Jun Mo, who was sitting down, had a domineering look on his eyebrows, his red eyes looked unruly and arrogant, and his thin lips smiled unruly: "Thank you for your kindness, brother, I don't want to steal General Su's style today."
Su Kuang didn't dare to neglect him. This was one of the only people he admired. He immediately raised his wine and congratulated him: "The Ninth Prince is serious. The last general is a warrior. When the Ninth Prince led the last general to the battlefield, the last general was in deep trouble."
I deeply admire the Ninth Prince, and I would like to toast this glass to the Ninth Prince!"
These words were indeed spoken sincerely. Most of the courtiers in front of the scene thought so, but the only person who dared to speak so bluntly in front of Junhuang was Su Kuang, an unruly person.
Sure enough, Junhuang's face turned slightly gloomy when he heard about the past events of the Nine Kings' Conquest. The courtiers changed the topic carefully, which made the Holy Emperor happy again, and the celebration banquet was also in full swing.
Bai Yanling sat next to Jun Mochen and played with the wine glass boredly. He occasionally raised his eyes and glanced at Su Kuang, the protagonist of today's celebration banquet not far away. He wore a wild military aura, and his low-key court uniform did not cover up that aura. He must have
It’s a rage that has been honed on the battlefield.
Suddenly he curled his lips with interest, but he didn't know if there was anyone more powerful than their Dragon Wing Guards.
The next second, Jun Mochen held her waist possessively, lingering in front of all the courtiers, and whispered in her ear with great tenderness: "Little one, I don't like you looking at Su Kuang."
Bai Yanling raised her beautiful eyebrows, knowing that there was a deep chill hidden behind this gentleness, but she was not afraid at all. Instead, she curled her lips domineeringly and leaned on his shoulder unscrupulously. This guy was jealous.
Just as Jun Mo was enjoying the tenderness, Su Kuang, the protagonist of the celebration banquet, stared at Bai Yanling for a long time and suddenly spoke with malicious intent: "Ninth Princess, do you know that family scandals should not be publicized?"
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers started booing. They originally thought that the Ninth Princess was uglier than a ghost and it simply affected their appetite. Unfortunately, it was only for the sake of the Ninth Prince that they could not bear it.
Now that someone is taking the lead, they are naturally happy to see this ugly Ninth Princess make a fool of herself. Now, there is a good show to watch. It is really exciting. In front of all the courtiers, this Ninth Princess will probably leave in tears.
Got it
However, the scene that everyone was looking forward to never happened for a long time.
Bai Yanling's bloodthirsty eyes were firmly locked on Su Kuang. The icy coldness from hell shocked even the experienced Su Kuang. However, at a glance, it seemed to be ordinary. Did he see it wrong?
Jun Mochen beside him had lost all his smile, and an extremely cold aura enveloped him, as if he was going to kill Su Kuang the next moment.
Su Kuang really felt this, and couldn't help but regret that he was outspoken. He was not willing to offend the Ninth Prince, but also had an inexplicable fear.
However, Bai Yanling easily clasped his fingers and defused Jun Mochen's terrifying anger. After calming him down, Bai Yanling smiled coldly at Su Kuang: "General Su, this is a good question. I also have a question for you, Princess.
If General Su comes to the celebration banquet today instead of wearing a human-like face, but wearing a pig's skin, do you think anyone at this celebration banquet will recognize you? Could it be you, General Su, or not General Su?
, but a beast?"
In full view, all eyes were blank
This time, the reply was too sharp!
Before the courtiers could react, Su Kuang's face was already flushed. He was compared to a beast by Bai Yanling's words and was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
