Yun Hui listened carefully to the movements in the carriage all the way, and found that after Ye Xilou entered the carriage, there was no sound. He didn't know what had changed inside the carriage.
If he were to know that the city lord he admired with all his heart was reduced to being held hostage by a woman, he would not know how he would feel.
…
Night City has a vast area and is one of the two important cities in the North that is parallel to the North City. One is in the south and the other is in the north. The carriage drove for nearly a day before entering the gate of the North City.
The Imperial Palace of the North Kingdom can be seen upon entering the city. It is majestic and majestic, showing the solemnity and majesty of the Northern Emperor...
Ye Xilou has already heard the news about Prince Xuanluo
According to reports, since he returned to the palace from the dark forest, he has been bedridden for many days. Although the whole North Kingdom has blocked the news that the prince is seriously ill, nothing can escape his ears and eyes.
The prince is not only seriously ill, he is even in critical condition!
But it is strange that just two days ago, he suddenly improved, and he was summoned to bring the kidnapped "Mousse Coach" to the palace to face the saint.
Feng Ji'er had guessed all this, but what she didn't know was that Xuan Luo also had an edict naming her the general of the Northern Kingdom...
Beihuang's illness had also improved, so he strongly invited Ye Xilou to come to the palace for a banquet. It was hard to disobey the sacred order, so Ye Xilou had no choice but to come.
As soon as Ye Xilou's carriage entered the city gate, there was a row of soldiers waiting for it. Under the leadership of the imperial guards, Ye Xilou's carriage went straight into the palace gate.
"Master Yecheng, the emperor is preparing a banquet at Shou'an Palace, and also invites Master Yecheng to come. This is..." The eunuchs in the palace greeted them at the gate of the palace early in the morning. They saw a beautiful woman standing next to Ye Xilou, whom they had never seen before.
, then he opened his mouth and asked
Ye Xilou was not in a hurry to answer the father-in-law's words. He only carefully put on a cloak for Feng Ji'er. The climate in the North City was no better than that in the Night City. It was cold in spring. When the cold wind blew, it sent chills to the bones.
——It turned out that he had prepared cloaks and clothes in the carriage.
After tying the ribbon for her, Ye Xilou caught a glimpse of the corner of the cloak that seemed to be muddy, so he reached out to brush it off and gave Feng Ji'er an angry look.
Feng Ji'er couldn't laugh or cry. What was his intention in doing this? People who don't know would think how close their relationship is!
Do you blame her for dirtying the cloak by quarreling with him in the carriage? Such an expression is really incomprehensible!
After a while, Ye Xilou turned to his father-in-law. The warmth on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold
He slowly replied to the father-in-law: "Father-in-law, it is better not to know for the time being. Do I need to interrogate the people brought into the palace by this city lord?"
The eunuch immediately put on a flattering smile on his face: "How dare you, my slave? How dare you, the Lord of Night City invites you!"
Feng Jier followed Ye Xilou and walked into Shou'an Hall.
In the main hall, it was warm as spring, and the smell of incense was quite soothing. A palace maid came forward, took off Feng Jier's cloak, lowered her head, and led the way.
When walking past the rows of long tables, Feng Ji'er felt countless pairs of eyes looking in their direction. The huge palace, the shiny marble floor, the silhouettes and facial expressions all changed.
It looks a bit dazzling, making people have to concentrate, stare at their toes, and keep their heads down all the way.
"See you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!" Ye Xilou lifted up his robe and bowed gracefully. Feng Ji'er had no choice but to follow suit and knelt down.
"Without ceremony, Xilou, why don't you often come and sit in the palace when you have time? If you come, please give me a seat, Concubine Xuan Yi."
Feng Ji'er obviously felt that Ye Xilou's figure was stagnant, but soon, he took her to sit on the table together.
Listening to Beihuang's tone, he seems to be very close to Ye Xilou.
But Ye Xilou kept a cold face and seemed to have nothing to say.
After sitting down in her seat, Feng Ji'er had time to raise her eyes and take a closer look at the people in the main hall. Sitting on the dragon chair was Beihuang, who was over fifty years old. He didn't seem to be in good spirits and was obviously still seriously ill.
From time to time, he will cough twice. It is not disgusting to look at each other, but it is quite solemn.
Looking at the two sides beside the Northern Emperor, the one sitting on the right is the eldest prince Xuanyou, and the one sitting on the left is none other than the prince Xuanluo. Although they are brothers, they look very different.
Although the eldest prince is also handsome, his face is too pale, his figure is slightly thin, and he has only two eyes with a strange light. He is too feminine and makes people feel uncomfortable.
Feng Ji'er's patrolling gaze happened to fall into Xuan Luo's dark and bright eyes, and she felt a little guilty. He probably couldn't recognize her appearance like this now.
Then she pretended not to know and looked away, but at that quick glance, Feng Jier also saw clearly that Xuan Luo looked full of energy, but his face still had a black air, as if he had not fully recovered, and he was also thin.
a lot of,
Feng Ji'er also noticed that his seat was covered with a thick mattress, and behind him were four palace maids and eunuchs, holding teacups and medicine bowls, as if they were waiting for him to drink medicine at any time.
Thinking of the black hole-like wound on his body, Feng Jier still felt frightened. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured and had not forgotten her.
Scanning the people in the main hall one by one, they were shocked to find that Da Xiaowu, Kong Ling and Sun Hui were all among them.
Feng Ji'er was a little confused. Even the emperor's banquet could be attended by soldiers? Then she thought about it, maybe after returning from the dark forest, the hundred-man army was relied on by the prince, and they might have been promoted to military positions.
The people in the main hall always glanced at her and Ye Xilou, especially the eldest prince, who never looked anywhere else. Feng Ji'er thought to herself, what's wrong with them?
Is there any food on the table that he hasn't seen before? Why is that look in his eyes so...indescribable?
After a while, Concubine Yi came in. Feng Jier raised her eyes and saw a beautiful and quiet woman with a little makeup on her face. She was courteous and walked slowly to the Beihuang. After bowing, she lightly
Sit down
With a smile on his face, the Northern Emperor stretched out his hand to support Concubine Yi, pointed to Ye Xilou and said to her: "Concubine Yi, your nephew is becoming more and more shameless. When I meet your direct aunt, I don't even say a word to greet you."
Hearing this, Ye Xilou stood up and walked to the center of the hall. He bowed to Concubine Yi and said, "I have met Concubine Yi. Is everything okay, Concubine Yi?" He said hello as a routine.
"Everything is alright, no need to be formal, take a seat." Concubine Yi looked a little sad, but still said hello with a smile.
When the aunt and nephew met, their relationship was very weak. At least that was what Feng Jier thought. She had just found out that there was an aunt in Ye Xilou who was the concubine of the Northern Emperor.
Logically speaking, Ye Xilou can be considered a relative of the emperor, but he seems...to ignore it at all.
The Northern Emperor raised his wine glass and said: "The prince has recovered from his illness. I am in a good mood today. The Lord of Night City went to the palace in person again. Dear ladies, please don't be formal and have a drink. Don't let me down with this fine wine and delicacies!"
Beihuang was the first to drink it all in one gulp. When he sat down, he suddenly coughed violently. Concubine Yi was so frightened that her face turned pale. She kept rubbing his back to help him breathe. Beihuang's coughing breath was a little unsteady, and the eunuch hurriedly announced
The imperial doctor, Beihuang, waved his hand to stop him. After calming down for a while, he said: "I don't know when my illness will end. When I grow old, I look forward to seeing my family harmonious and reunited. Xilou can enter the palace this time.
I am very pleased. I heard that the prince has also issued an edict to you, saying that he has obtained a general and prime minister, and he is urgently announcing his entry into the palace. I am tired, so I will go to rest first. Everything will be decided by the prince with his full authority.
Dear lady, let’s have a good time drinking and talking!”
There is a saying in Beihuang's dialect, and its meaning is very obvious. It not only expresses his desire to win over Ye Xilou, but also shows his intention to maintain the status of the prince.
Although he is ill, he is not confused
After the Northern Emperor left the table with the support of Concubine Yi, Xuan Luo stood up. It was obviously a little laborious, but he still straightened his body and smiled at Ye Xilou: "Master Ye City, it's been a long time. I never thought that Ye Xilou
As soon as the city lord came, he invited me, the general of the Northern Kingdom, too!"
Suddenly hearing Xuan Luo say this, everyone in the main hall was in an uproar.
I don’t know who the general Xuan Luo refers to.
"I know there is some misunderstanding with His Highness the Crown Prince..." Before Ye Xilou finished speaking, Xuan Luo stood up, interrupted him, and walked towards his seat.
"Why did Lord Yecheng say this? My father is in ill health, and I have temporarily taken charge of the affairs of the country. The first thing I have to do is to appoint the general of the Northern Kingdom. The imperial edict issued by my father is here to be read out.
Once again, all the ministers also listened together."
Xuan Luo summoned an eunuch, who came forward and read aloud
In the main hall, everyone stood up and listened.
"Hereby is Coach Musi, who is so brave and powerful that he is the heart of the prince. I personally designate him as the most brave general in our northern country. I hope that he will assist the prince and strengthen our army in the northern country! I hereby-" The eunuch finished reading the edict and bowed.
Get down
Xuan Luo's gaze was like a torch, staring closely at Ye Xilou's eyes
Ye Xilou looked very surprised. He smiled at the prince and asked: "I wonder where the instructor Musi mentioned by your highness is? I said there must be some misunderstanding between you and your highness. Your highness will not
You think the woman I brought into the palace this time is the Northern General you mentioned. As we all know, Coach Musi is a man."
Xuan Luo also laughed and replied: "That's not necessarily true. Who said that Coach Mousse belongs to a man?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience took a breath. Everyone looked at the prince and Ye Xilou in confusion. The eldest prince Xuanyou also cast a look at the show.
Xuan Luo was calm and composed, and ordered to the side: "Go and get the portrait of Coach Musi. I want to personally testify that Coach Musi is a woman and she is in this hall! Lord Yecheng, since I don't know, I
The prince will not blame you."
After saying that, he cast a look that was sure to win in Feng Ji'er's direction.
Ye Xilou saw this look in his eyes, and his face became more and more gloomy, knowing that things had completely turned in a direction beyond his control...
