Chapter 126: The Mysterious Sister of the National Mother
"Junior sister, don't be alarmed, Yu Wenxuan is like this, he still knows what's appropriate." After Yu Wenxuan walked away, Ling Bin let out a long breath.
"But brother Xing Nan, please be careful. That guy is not broad-minded. He is not afraid of anyone except the royal family." Lei Hao kindly reminded.
The four of them took their seats one after another.
Xing Nan's expression was very calm, and he was not upset because of offending Yu Wenxuan. He was just thinking that the third prince Song Jin was obviously interested in Princess Yunshang... This was a troublesome matter.
Ling Bin and Lei Hao were a little surprised. They were surprised that Xing Nan could quickly grab Yu Wenxuan's wrist just now. Even Yu Wenxuan's strength just failed to knock Xing Nan back half a step... This kid seems to have become more powerful.
few.
With Ling Bin and Lei Hao blocking the way, the young masters who came to chat with him one after another were dismissed easily. After all, not every young man dared to be as bold and bold as Yu Wenxuan.
Half an hour later, the third prince Song Jin finally came again.
After hearing what Ling Bin and Lei Hao said about Yu Wenxuan just now, the third prince frowned slightly, but he didn't show any extreme expression.
Song Jin knew better than anyone else here that Yu Wenxuan was not afraid of her, and she couldn't fall out with Yu Wenxuan just because of such a trivial matter.
However, Song Jin did not do anything else and sat down at the round table until the banquet started.
…
Phew...boom!
Suddenly, a stream of light shot into the dark night sky, and then suddenly exploded.
A firework bloomed in the night sky, and after a moment, its brilliance faded.
Boo hoo hoo hoo…
Rays of light shot into the night sky around the garden.
Bang bang bang bang...
Fireworks bloomed one after another, instantly making the night sky over the palace colorful.
The music sounded louder, festive and cheerful.
Bang bang bang...
The sound of firecrackers came from the side.
Following the sound, an old woman wearing a bright red brocade robe was slowly walking into the garden banquet hall with the support of a woman.
This old woman looks old, but she has a childish face and a very strong body. Her face is rosy, there is no wrinkle on her face, and her eyes are extremely bright.
But such an old woman is already two hundred years old, and she looks like she is only fifty or sixty years old.
It is obvious that this old woman definitely has a strong cultivation level, because ordinary women cannot live to be two hundred years old.
The woman standing side by side with the old woman is extremely beautiful, with slender eyebrows and apricot eyes, pink lips, and a face as beautiful as jade without a single flaw. She is tall and graceful, and can be called an unparalleled beauty, even compared to Princess Yunshang.
No difference at all.
Most of the men in the field were staring at the beautiful woman, and so was Xing Nan. However, Xing Nan just thought that the beauty looked familiar. Her figure, cheeks, and easy-going but incomparable expression seemed to match her.
A very similar person.
However, the person in Xing Nan's impression had a tattoo-like scar on his face.
"What a resemblance." Princess Yunshang whispered.
"What does it look like?" Xing Nan asked, tilting his head.
"The woman next to the old woman looks very much like the same person." Princess Yunshang paused for a moment, "The proprietress of Kirigakure Inn, but she has no scars on her face."
"I think it's similar too." Xing Nan nodded.
Being able to walk side by side with today's birthday girl, this beauty's status is absolutely extraordinary. You must know that His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire is following the two of them at this moment.
"Good luck, longevity and health!"
At this time, all the guests bowed and saluted and congratulated in unison.
As early as the founding of the country, the founding emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire abolished the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping. Even when facing or greeting the emperor, there is no need to kneel down.
The founding emperor Shenglong once said something that has been passed down to this day... Imperial power is not maintained and consolidated by other people's kneeling! The dignity of the royal family does not need to be reflected by other people's kneeling!
The old woman just smiled and nodded to the guests on both sides. His Majesty the Emperor, who followed behind, waved to everyone, indicating that they didn't need to be polite.
His Majesty, the contemporary emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, is actually nearly a hundred years old, but he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties, with a warm jade face, a mustache, and a golden dragon robe. He looks very majestic.
He is also very energetic and probably has a strong cultivation base.
There are only two people behind His Majesty the Emperor. One of them looks to be in his thirties. He is also wearing a dragon robe, but his dragon robe is blue. From his clothes, we can guess that he should be the eldest prince.
, that is, Song Jin’s eldest brother.
Next to the eldest prince was an old man. This old man was always bowing forward. Everyone could not see his face clearly. They could only see his silver hair tied up with a hairpin and his crimson robe embroidered with
Pattern of birds in the clouds.
This old man should be a close bodyguard of His Majesty the Emperor and also the general manager of the palace's internal affairs. He is not an ordinary character.
…
With the support of the beautiful woman, today's birthday girl walked to the ceremony platform that had been set up in the north of the garden.
The area of the ceremony table is not large. There is a long jade table only one foot high on it. There is only a wide and thick blanket behind the long table. The old woman sat cross-legged on the blanket behind the long table.
The beautiful woman stood nearby.
His Majesty the Emperor sat down at a table on the left under the ceremonial stage, while the eldest prince sat down at the opposite seat, and the old man who had been hunched over stood behind His Majesty the Emperor.
The music stopped playing, and the firecrackers and fireworks also stopped.
The whole garden suddenly became quiet.
"Sister, come, sit next to me." The old woman waved to the beautiful woman next to her.
Everyone was shocked!
younger sister?
What is the origin of that woman?
Everyone originally thought that the beautiful woman was a certain princess whom the old woman loved very much, but the old woman actually called her sister, which proved that she was of extremely high status.
No wonder she can walk in front of His Majesty the Emperor!
"Today is my sister's birthday, so I just need to wait on you." The beauty said with a slight smile.
"How does this work?"
The old woman actually stood up again, pulled the beautiful woman next to her to the center of the ceremony platform, and said: "There are many servants and maids, why do I need my sister to serve me?"
The beauty did not refuse and sat cross-legged on the blanket behind the long table with the old woman.
His Majesty the Emperor had no objection to this, which proved that he also believed that the beautiful woman was qualified to sit next to his mother and to be above him.
Everyone is guessing about the identity of the beautiful woman, but they all feel in their hearts... This beautiful woman looks to be about twenty-eight years old, youthful and youthful. She must have a very high level of cultivation, so she has good looks, and she may have lived for nearly two hundred years.
The old man spirit.
The dandies who originally had other thoughts about the beauty gave up their thoughts one after another. Even Yu Wenxuan did not dare to have the slightest hint of blasphemy in his eyes at this moment.
"Bless your birthday and sing a salute!"
The guests of honor were all seated, and the old man behind His Majesty the Emperor suddenly shouted.
His Majesty the Emperor smiled slightly and stood up. He took the lead in walking to the podium and bowed to congratulate: "I wish my mother a long life and good health!"
"Um."
The old woman just responded calmly.
His Majesty the Emperor stood up straight, with an extra brocade box in his hand. The silver-haired old man next to him immediately came over to take the brocade box and opened it on the spot.
What’s surprising is——
As soon as the brocade box was opened, a ray of rays of light rose into the sky, and the rays of light quickly condensed into shape in mid-air, but turned into a shadow of an elegant and flying phoenix.
The silver-haired old man had a look of shock on his face. He sent the brocade box to the ceremony table and shouted: "Your Majesty, I will give you a phoenix bone hairpin!"
Phoenix bone hairpin, as the name suggests, it should be a hairpin made from the bones of the phoenix. No wonder the phantom of the phoenix appeared in the air just now.
The old woman took the brocade box, her face full of joy. She just glanced at it, but pushed the brocade box in front of the beauty and asked: "Do you like this Phoenix Bone Baochai sister?"
The beauty still smiled lightly and said: "If I say I like it, my sister will definitely give it to me; if I say I don't like it, I think His Majesty will be unhappy."
The old woman said generously: "My sister can take it if she likes it. You and I, sisters, don't have to be so polite."
The beauty shook her head slightly, pushed the brocade box back, and said, "Today is my sister's birthday, so please don't embarrass me."
The old woman didn't bother any more. She waved her sleeves and the brocade box disappeared in an instant.
His Majesty the Emperor has returned to his seat, and the eldest prince is next to pay his respects and offer congratulatory gifts. The old woman's attitude towards her son is very indifferent, but she is obviously much kinder to her grandson.
"Your Highness, does he know the origin of the woman next to the mother of the country?" Ling Bin was really curious and couldn't help but ask in a low voice when the eldest prince paid his birthday.
"I don't know, I've never seen him before." The third prince shook his head, "I guess he is a friend of my grandmother's, and he should also be an elder with a very high level of cultivation."
"This elder... looks a bit too young." Lei Hao continued.
…
Soon it was discussed that the third prince was celebrating his birthday. Like everyone else, he also gave treasures as a gift.
Then other dignitaries paid their birthdays one after another. Almost all the gifts they gave were priceless treasures, but it was difficult to please the old mother of the country.
Treasures like the phoenix bone hairpin are rare, but the old mother-in-law seems to only look twice at treasures of that level. She only glances at ordinary treasures symbolically, and also to give birthday wishes to people.
Some face.
Xing Nan kept staring at the beautiful woman next to the old woman on the stage, always feeling that she seemed familiar.
The beautiful woman also glanced at Xing Nan and smiled meaningfully at him. It was this smile that made Xing Nan even more suspicious.
The congratulations of all the dignitaries lasted for nearly an hour. Princess Yunshang stood up when she saw that no one came to pay her birthday.
"Haha, my eldest sister is celebrating her birthday, but my brother is late!"
Princess Yunshang had just stood up when a hearty laughter came from outside.
Then I saw an old man with white hair dancing in the wind, walking into the garden quickly and furiously.
This old man was tall and tall, but had a thin face. He was wearing a dark blue robe, and he had already arrived at the ceremony stage in just a few steps.
The old woman stood up, and the beautiful woman next to her also stood up.
Even His Majesty the Emperor stood up under the ceremonial stage, which showed that the identity of the visitor was extraordinary.
The guests in the venue naturally stood up one after another. Most of them knew the identity of the visitor and did not dare to show any indifference.
"Yuwen Ding has met His Majesty." After the visitor stood still, he first clasped his fists and shook his Majesty the Emperor next to him.
"Uncle, there is no need to be polite." His Majesty the Emperor returned the salute with clasped fists and a somewhat respectful look on his face.
