Allure of the World - Chapter 288
Xiaojing held a large piece of roasted lamb chops in his hand and nibbled happily: “Master, are you hungry, the slaves are starving, this is really delicious!”
Qingyun sat up: “What time is it? Oh, it’s getting dark?”
“Well, Mr. Zuo has come and called three times, saying that there is a banquet in the palace at night, and you have to bring your master there.”
“Ah, why didn’t you say it earlier!” Qing Yun got out of bed immediately, “Quick, the purpose of my visit this time is to enter the palace, so I can’t delay it!”
Xiaojing said: “Master, in order to wake you up, I used every trick!”
“Hurry up, dress me up!” Qingyun ordered Xiaojing.
Xiaojing said: “What are you going to dress up for? The son said he also asked the master to wear men’s clothes.”
“Huh? Oh. It’s okay.” As soon as Qing Yun heard of entering the palace, he forgot his identity and purpose.
She asked for hot water, took a brief bath, and put on a clean black shirt, still dressed as a guard, Xiaojing is tall and strong, wearing men’s clothes if you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell Unusually, Qingyun has a graceful figure, fair skin, dressed in black men’s clothes, and looks very handsome.
The two hurried to look for Zuo Lang, Zuo Lang saw them and said, “I’m about to send someone to call you, are you ready?”
Qingyun nodded.
Zuo Lang looked at her: “Your face is so white and delicate, how can you look like a guard?”
Qing Yun said: “What should I do? I want to go to the palace, but I can’t put ash on my face.”
Zuo Lang said: “Don’t walk around, just follow me. There are a lot of people here tonight, so no one should pay attention to us.”
Qingyun agreed.
The royal palace of Fancheng is mysterious and quiet in the night. The splendid complex of buildings sits there, beyond sight.
Under the ever-bright lamp, Qingyun could see the delicate turret clearly, casting a hazy yellow shadow on the high wall.
Approaching the city wall, Qingyun saw clearly that the city wall turned out to be a deep red color. The two dragons on the eaves, with golden scales and golden armor, were alive and well, as if they wanted to fly into the air.
Dismounting from the horse, a maid in bright jingling clothes took over the reins of the horse, and Qingyun followed Zuo Lang closely.
Passing by a beautiful garden, planted with exotic flowers and plants, many of which are not seen in Qingyun, the flowers are pale, but the leaves are gorgeous, very beautiful, Qingyun thinks, I must study this dynasty when I have time. Plants and medicinal herbs from the Cloud Continent.
Into the main hall. There was a lot of people in front of the hall, and it seemed that the banquet had not yet started.
Zuo Lang glanced at him and gestured to Zuo Ming, and the two brothers sat quietly under General Shangguan. Qingyun, Xiaojing and Zhouyou quietly stood behind them.
Qingyun looked up at the top of the hall.
Sitting high above is the great emperor Hua Shixiu of Chaoyun Continent. Bruising, it should be a heart disease. At this time, he was discussing something with the ministers, and his voice was very loud.
Beside her sat a beautiful lady with fair complexion and a smile on her face. Zuo Lang said that she was the queen.
Qingyun did not see the flower.
The maid and maid are serving dishes. There were dozens of tables in the hall, and the air was filled with various fragrances.
Qing Yun is now dressed as a bodyguard, she can’t help feeling hungry when she sees the slow food on Zuo Lang’s table.
Originally, she just ate a few bites at noon, but she woke up late at night and came to the palace without eating a bite.
Zuo Lang took a piece of dim sum from the table and handed it to Qingyun, Qingyun reached out to take it, secretly filled it in his mouth, covered his mouth, and swallowed two mouthfuls, although it didn’t look good, it was better than being hungry powerful.
She looked up at the well-mannered and well-behaved princes and nobles sitting on the table. They ate, drank, and acted gracefully to the eye, chewing, drinking, toasting, and placing bowls. There is no sound, and there is an impeccable demeanor.
Qing Yun shook his head, he had lived in the palace for so long, he would never be able to eat like them.
At the beginning of the banquet, Hua Shixiu made a few opening remarks. It turned out that today was to celebrate the completion of the canal and entertain everyone.
Finally, Hua Shixiu said: “It just so happened that the Zuo family also sent over this year’s BMW horses. For the few companies I mentioned just now, you can send someone to the horse farm in the palace to pick them up. Two BMWs. Zuo Lang, does this year’s BMW believe in a new breed?”
Zuo Lang stood up immediately. “Reporting to the king, this year there are dozens of Yueying who have just grown up, and their speed and leg strength are top-notch.”
Hua Shixiu nodded: “Okay, I have time to pick a few horses. I heard that you have a good snowboarder here?”
Qingyun was shocked.
Zuo Lang said: “The nature of treading on the snow is too strong and difficult to control. Weichen is researching a BMW that is more suitable for battle.”
Hua Shixiu said: “My daughter, ordinary horses can’t get into her eyes, maybe she likes it.”
Zuo Lang said: “We are ministers in order to bring snow to the princess next time.”
Hua Shixiu nodded, praised, and let the servant read a lot of rewards.
Zuo Lang thanked Enfang and sat down.
Qingyun was ashamed, and asked Zuo Lang in a low voice: “Is the snowfall originally prepared for the princess?”
Zuo Lang tasted the wine, staring at the contents of the glass: “No, that is too strong, only you can control it, so I gave it to you.”
Hui, small mouth, a small lip bead on the upper lip, looks strange.
“Your Highness Princess!” Someone stood up.
She walked very fast, almost jumping to the top of the hall.
“Yan Er, come here, come to the Queen Mother.” The Queen’s happy voice.
Qing Yun glanced at it, her hands trembled slightly, yes, she knew this woman, she was the woman Hua Yan who jumped off the cliff with Ling Chen.
So she’s not dead. Since she didn’t die, Ling Chen was definitely alive.
Qing Yun was excited, Ling Chen, you really are alive. Qingyun remembered his son, the note left by the person who rescued his son, the words on the note were Ling Chen’s words.
Is it really fate, is it really Ling Chen who saved his own son?
At this moment, a slow voice came from the front: “Your Majesty, the old minister took advantage of today’s auspicious time to propose marriage to your Majesty. I wonder when your Majesty will agree?”
Qing Yun looked up and saw a man in his fifties talking.
Hua Shixiu said: “Feng Prime Minister, I haven’t seen the princess in the past few days. I just saw it today. Don’t worry, I will give Aiqing an explanation today.”
It turned out to be the prime minister Fengrong. Qingyun heard Zuo Lang talk about it, and now the situation in Chaoyun Continent is turbulent, Feng Rong is now almost unequivocal in the palace, the king is ill, and many decisions are made by Feng Rong.
The Great Emperor Hua Shixiu has no son, only one daughter Hua Yan. Everyone knows that whoever marries Huayan will own the land of Chaoyun Continent.
There used to be many sons of ministers who were chosen to be the princess’ concubine, but from the year before last, all the candidates for the concubine died inexplicably. After a long time, no one dared to arbitrarily propose the idea of marrying the princess, only the Feng family dared.
Feng Rong proposed to Hua Shixiu three months ago, but Hua Shixiu did not agree, and shied away on the grounds that the princess was not in the country, and now it seems that she can no longer shirk.
Feng Rong said: “Your Majesty, Fengcheng and the princess have been childhood sweethearts, and now they have reached the age of marriage. Wei Chen thought that choosing a day would be better than hitting the sun. Today, there are many happy events, just in time for the princess. Also, the old minister also checked the auspicious days of this period, why don’t the king directly announce the date of their big wedding.”
The hall, which was full of people, immediately quieted down.
The Feng family is obviously forcing marriage.
Qing Yun looked at the young man sitting next to the Prime Minister Feng, it must be his son Feng Cheng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a talent.
Seeing that the king was hesitating, General Shangguan, who was sitting next to the emperor, got up and said, “Your Majesty, General Feng and the princess are talented and beautiful, and I thought they were a natural pair.”
The ministers stood up and seconded one after another.
Qing Yun understood, this Shangguan Fei is also the person of the prime minister.
Qing Yun’s eyes were only fixed on Hua Yan, she was looking for a chance to see her. Qingyun saw that she glanced at Fengcheng with an annoyed look, and it seemed that she didn’t like Fengcheng.
She has seen Huayan’s ferocity and knows that this is a powerful character. At this time, she sat quietly, with no joy or sorrow on her face.
Hua Shixiu nodded: “The Qing family is right…”
“Father, the little girl has something to say.” Hua Yan stood up.
The surroundings are so quiet that even the sound of drinking water can be heard.
Everyone pricked up their ears and wanted to hear what Hua Yan had to say.
Hua Yan said: “Father, Hua Yan already has a sweetheart.”
There was an uproar in the hall.
Hua Shixiu looked at Hua Yan: “Who is your sweetheart?”
Everyone looked at Hua Yan curiously.
Hua Yan said: “My sweetheart, the father, also knows him. He once saved my life and saved you. Brother Ling!”
Hua Yan shouted to the outside.
Qingyun stared at the door of the hall.
Three people came in slowly outside the door, the middle one was tall, with high curly hair on top of his head, white jade rings buckled, slender red phoenix eyes, eyes as deep as ink lakes, invisible A little turbulence. Seven white dots the size of soybeans dotted on his forehead. It was Ling Chen.
Qing Yun’s hands were tightly clenched, and her whole body was numb. Tears flowed.
Han Zhitao and Zhang Yang were standing around him. The two were also dressed as barbarians.
“Patriarch Ling?” Hua Shixiu called out.
Qingyun’s hand tightly covered her mouth, Xiaojing grabbed Qingyun’s arm and asked in a low voice: “Master, look, look…”
Hua Yan smiled and ran down from above to pull up Ling Chen: “Big Brother Ling, come up and sit down!”
Ling Chen did not move.
“This gentleman heard that the barbarians have changed their patriarchs. It turned out to be you.” Hua Shixiu smiled, “You and my daughter have a private lifelong agreement?”
Ling Chen said: “There is no private life, Ling Si specially came to propose marriage to the king today. Please complete the king.”
Qingyun’s tears fell, he is really alive! But why does he want to be courteous? Is it for Chaoyun Continent?
The Prime Minister Feng has already stood up: “Patriarch Ling, the king has promised to marry the child and the princess as a good match.
Ling Chen said: “It seems that the king has not made a decree.”
Feng Cheng, the son of Prime Minister Feng, slowly stepped down from his seat: “The decree is only a matter of time. Besides, the barbarians live in the wild and have strange living habits. How can they spy on the princess? Never marry a barbarian!”
He stood up and approached Ling Chen, looking at him up and down with a look of contempt.
Qing Yun’s tearful look caught the attention of one person, Shangguan Fei. He occasionally turned around to see Qing Yun staring at Ling Chen intently, with tears on his face.
Shangguan Fei asked Zuo Lang in a low voice, “Is that fair little guard behind you a woman?”
Zuo Lang turned his head sharply and saw Qingyun crying weakly, how could he look like a guard.
He blushed and said, “Yes, the general’s eyes are indeed a woman.”
Shangguan Fei saw Qingyun’s eyes on Ling Chen, and he knew it.
Zuo Lang was suspicious when he reached out and pulled Qingyun: “What’s wrong with you? Do you know him?”
Shangguanfei has come over slowly, and stretched out his hand to take off the towel from Qingyun’s head: “Girl, why are you crying, do you know this patriarch?”
Shangguan Fei thought it was Ling Si’s woman who came here. He hoped that the princess could marry the Feng family. He was a supporter of the Feng family.
Qingyun was originally dressed as a man, but now her long black hair hangs down, and her white face is full of tears like rain hitting pear blossoms. At this time, she saw so many people looking at her, her face panicked , there is joy, and there is unspeakable pain.
Hearing Shangguan Fei’s loud question, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Qingyun. Including Ling Chen, Han Zhitao and Zhang Yang.
Qing Yun stared at Ling Chen’s eyes and walked over slowly.
Ling Chen looked her up and down, frowning slightly: “Girl, do you know me?”
The blue cloud stood there with a bang. She looked around and suddenly understood that in this case, the Prime Minister Feng and the others wanted some kind of result.
She wiped her tears and said, “Yes, I know you, you saved me.”
Ling Chen glanced at her again: “Really, I don’t remember.”
Zuo Lang pulled her back to his side: “Did he save you? Do you still know the barbarian patriarch?”
Qingyun nodded.
Zuo Lang looked at Qing Yun staring at Ling Chen: “He really just saved you?”
Qing Yun said: “Yes.”
Zuo Lang said in a low voice, “I think you look like you are going to make promises, don’t look at others like that, he is a princess now! Be careful of your life!”
Shangguan Fei saw that Ling Si didn’t know Qingyun, so he had to turn around and said to Hua Shi: “Your Majesty, the princess has a noble status, General Feng came from a famous family, and made great contributions to Chaoyun Continent, and the princess is indeed It’s a good match…”
They were still debating, Qingyun could no longer hear other voices, Ling Chen’s unfamiliar eyes ripped open her heart like a knife.
Ling Chen’s eyes didn’t seem to be pretending, it seemed like he really didn’t know her. Does he hate her so much?
Qing Yun looked at Han Zhitao and Zhang Yang, as if they didn’t see her.
Qing Yun understood that Ling Chen was proposing to the princess, and her appearance would ruin his good deeds. Is he going to use the princess? Use Chaoyun Continent?
Otherwise, how could Ling Chen deny her?
Qingyun’s face was pale.
She is as pale as she is and has a flowery face.
Hua Yan looked at Qingyun, she recognized her, on the cliff of Shangu on Qinglong Mountain, the face of that desperate woman, the woman who Ling Chen desperately wanted to go back to save, is the She, she found it!
Qing Yun’s mind was in a mess, she heard someone talking to her, her mind was in a mess, and she couldn’t hear what everyone was saying.
Only saw a fight in the hall for a moment, Ling Chen and Feng Cheng.
Qingyun came back to his senses and saw two people fighting.
Ling Chen threw out the Blue Dragon Sword, and Feng Cheng used a triangle-shaped sword with blue light.
The two of them fought without saying a word.
Qingyun sneaked up to the front while everyone was not paying attention. She wanted to find Han Zhitao and Zhang Yang, especially Han Zhitao. He looked at her with shock and guilt.
Everyone is watching this duel nervously, the duel between the most prominent Feng Cheng son of Chaoyun Continent, and the new clan leader Ling Si, who does not know the heights of the sky.
Qing Yun quietly turned to the back, and before she turned to Han Zhitao’s side, her eyes darkened and she lost consciousness.
