Night gradually fell, covering the entire palace tightly. Snow began to fly all over the sky again!
After staying in the cold palace for more than an hour in annoyance, Ruoshuiyue finally slowly walked towards Luanfeng Palace.
At this time, her beautiful face had long lost the previous smile, and instead looked annoyed.
Luanfeng Hall
Seeing Ruoshuiyue come back covered in blood, Shang Yue looked shocked. "Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you covered in blood?"
Ruo Shuiyue slowly lowered his head and glanced at the blood stains on his body. "Don't worry, these are not mine!" Ruo Shuiyue said weakly at this time.
"It's not yours? Then whose blood belongs to you? Master, what on earth did you just go to..."
"How did you go about what I asked you to do today?" Before Shang Yue could finish asking, he was interrupted by Ruo Shuiyue with a helpless look on his face.
Hearing this, Shan Yue was in a hurry and didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he just answered helplessly. "Well, it's all done! According to your instructions, Master, I have had five dragon talismans copied that are close to perfect! Each dragon
The talismans weigh twelve taels, all of which are made of stone on the inside and painted with gold on the outside." After saying this, Shangyue hurriedly turned around and took out the bundle from the drawer behind the door, and placed the five dragon talismans in the bundle in front of Ruoshuiyue.
Ruo Shuiyue picked up a dragon talisman and looked at it carefully, weighed it again and again, and finally nodded with satisfaction. "Okay! Go ahead and tell them, I will give them half a month, and I will see Gu in half a month."
Put the dragon talisman in Hai's hand in front of me!"
"Yes, I know!"
"Well! Back off! I'm tired!" Ruo Shuiyue said as she took off her blood-stained dress and fell straight on the bed.
Looking at the rotating glass on the top, Ruo Shuiyue secretly swore in her heart that one day, she would kill the eagle-shaped masked man! Absolutely!
three days later
The new emperor and regent of Xiling, who were originally expected to arrive in a few days, arrived in Tuodu in the early morning of the third day, and the entire Nantuo Palace became busy for a while.
In order to express his welcome to Xiling, Xiahou Yexiu even ordered Xiahou Boxuan to lead Nantuo's civil and military ministers to greet him early in the morning.
According to the long-standing rules, all distinguished guests from other countries are accommodated in the inns set up by their countries. However, Xiahou Yexiu did not do this this time. Instead, he directly accommodated the distinguished guests from Xiling in the Nantuo Palace.
Within. The euphemistic name is to better take care of Xiling's distinguished guests, but in reality it is to better monitor their every move.
Considering that they were tired from the journey, the celebration banquet was arranged in the evening of Liuli Palace.
In order to welcome the distinguished guests of Xiling Kingdom, today's Liuli Palace is extraordinarily magnificent. Crystal jade is used as lamp, pearl is used as curtain, and Fan Jin is used as pillar foundation. A huge moon bead hangs on the top of the palace, shining like a bright moon.
.The ground is covered with white jade, embedded with gold beads, and the ground is carved into a lotus shape, which looks like five lotus flowers. The petals are fresh and exquisite, and even the stamens are delicate and discernible.
As soon as Shenshi arrived, the Liuli Palace was already full of people. Xiahou Yexiu sat high on the main throne, with Ruo Shuiyue and Ni Nuoer sitting on both sides of him. Below Ruo Shuiyue were the two brothers Xiahou Yunjie, and Ni Nuoer.
Below you are several distinguished guests from Xiling. Behind them are others
His concubines, the ministers of Nantuo and their families. As the host, Xiahou Yexiu originally ordered people to invite the Northern Prince Leng Zijunhao, who had been staying in Nantuo and refused to leave because he was reluctant to leave his imperial sister, but he had already
I felt unwell and politely declined.
Sitting tall next to Xiahou Yexiu, Ruoshuiyue looked at the several distinguished guests in Xiling with a curious expression. She was no stranger to the new emperor of Xiling, because this person was at the cultural exchange festival a few months ago.
, the young prince Ji Shenlin who came with Yuehu to make trouble. He was not very interested in Ruoshuiyue, but the regent beside him. The regent exuded an indescribable evil aura all over his body.
A simple mask made of pure gold was worn on his face from beginning to end. His eyes were dark and extremely cold, and he seemed to have a strong hostility towards everyone. However, it was such a person who made
Ruo Shuiyue had an indescribable feeling.
"On behalf of all the people of Nantuo Kingdom, I welcome Emperor Xiling! I would like to offer a toast to Emperor Xiling!" At this moment, Xiahou Yexiu suddenly stood up with a wine glass in hand.
Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses and stood up, shouting, "Warmly welcome Emperor Xiling, warmly welcome Emperor Xiling..."
After looking at the regent beside him, Xiling Emperor Ji Shenlin slowly raised his glass and stood up with a smile. "Thank you Emperor Nantuo and the people of Nantuo for their kindness!" After that, he raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass.
"To show my Xiling's friendship to Nantuo, I offer you two of my Xiling's treasures, and I ask Emperor Nantuo to accept them!" After saying this, Ji Shenlin suddenly gave him a high-five.
Immediately, several Xiling guards came forward carrying something tightly covered by imperial silk.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the things being carried. Xiahou Yesiu couldn't help but said half-jokingly and half-seriously. "It won't be some kind of tiger this time, right?"
Hearing this, Ji Shenlin was startled, then laughed and said, "Emperor Nantuo really knows how to joke!" As he said this, Ji Shenlin violently opened the imperial silk.
As the royal silk was lifted, everyone at the banquet was shocked.
It was a tree of about one meter. A jade tree carefully carved from top-quality blood jade. It had a beautiful shape, and every branch and leaf was lifelike. However, what really impressed people was the jade tree.
Fruit, the yellow fruit is fresh and attractive, exuding a light fruit fragrance. And the fruit is not jade, but a real fruit, which grows from the jade tree.
Amidst the burst of surprise and admiration, only Ruo Shuiyue was not surprised at all when she saw the fruit on the jade. Instead, her face instantly sank, and her dark eyes were filled with a coldness that could freeze people's hearts.
"Emperor Xiling, is the fruit on this tree real?" It was obvious that even Xiahou Yexiu was curious about the fruit on the jade tree.
Glancing at the regent behind him calmly, Ji Shenlin nodded and smiled. "Yes, it is true, and the fruit also has the effect of prolonging life. The reason why my late Emperor Xiling can live to be one hundred and fifty
It’s all thanks to its age!”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. It seemed that in their eyes, the fruit of the jade tree was not a good medicine for prolonging life, but a fairy tree and fairy fruit.
"Oh? Then..."
"Since it is so precious, how can I, Nan Tuo, win the love of others? In my opinion, Emperor Xiling, you should take it back!" Just as Xiahou Ye Xiu opened his mouth, Ruo Shuiyue's cold voice suddenly came to his ears.
Hearing this, not only everyone else, but even Xiahou Yexiu looked at Ruoshuiyue with a displeased look. They didn't seem to understand why she said this. After all, as long as the tree is accepted, everyone can
It can prolong life, and if used properly, it can even be used to refine the elixir of immortality! But she actually... She had finished her words. Even if he wanted to accept it, he didn't know how to speak.
Obviously, Ji Shenlin didn't seem to expect that there would be someone who could withstand such temptation and determination like him. He couldn't help but raise his head to look at the other person, and couldn't help but be startled when he saw Ruo Shuiyue's peerless and alluring face. Is it her?
"This must be the most beloved concubine in the world?" At this moment, the regent next to Ji Shenlin suddenly looked straight at Ruoshuiyue and said.
With a raised brow, Ruoshuiyue's beautiful face suddenly revealed a charming smile. "Oh? Do you know me?"
"The name of Concubine Yue is well known to me! Whether it is Concubine Yue's extraordinary intelligence or her unrivaled beauty, it can be said that everyone in Xiling knows about her!" Every word is unknown.
It wasn't a compliment, but the voice he spoke in was surprisingly cold and hoarse.
"Excuse me...I just don't know who you are???" Ruoshuiyue tilted her head and asked the other party pretending to be confused.
"This is Ji Shenjue, the Regent of Xiling!" Before the Regent Ji Shenjue could speak, Ji Shenlin's voice came to his ears.
When mentioning Ji Shenjue, Ruoshuiyue clearly heard the hint of pride in Ji Shenlin's words. How could an emperor be proud of his regent? How interesting!
