Those who entered the palace today for the welcoming banquet were not only the warriors of the three armies, the civil and military officials of the imperial city, but also the families of many officials and officials.

Qi Mingxuan was a young general, and the only son of the King of Border Town. His looks were also very good, so he naturally attracted a lot of wild butterflies.

"Young master Qi, do you still remember my daughter?" A young girl wearing a pink dress walked over to greet Qi Mingxuan when she saw him from afar.

Qi Mingxuan glanced at him. It had been a long time since he had returned to the capital, so he basically couldn't recognize him.

"Big brother Qi, do you really not remember me?" We used to fly kites together when we were kids! " Marquis An Ping's youngest daughter, Li Qiu'er, looked at Qi Mingxuan with a bashful expression.

Qi Mingxuan looked down at Li Qiu'er condescendingly. When he was young, besides studying martial arts, he went to find little sister Qian. How could he fly a kite with another girl?

This person was already full of nonsense at such a young age. One could only imagine what kind of intentions he had.

Qi Mingxuan didn't want to waste time with such a person, so he turned to leave.

Li Qiu'er wasn't willing to let go of such a great opportunity. She clenched her teeth, stepped forward, and tugged at Qi Mingxuan's sleeve. "Big Brother Qi, Qiu'er has loved you since she was young. How could you be so heartless!"

"Don't tell me that now that you have someone you like in Mo Bei, you don't need Qiu Er anymore!" Li Qiu'er tightly held onto Qi Mingxuan's sleeve, a pitiful look on her face.

If an ordinary man had seen such a delicate, beautiful girl confess, he might have been moved. However, Qi Mingxuan wasn't an ordinary person.

"Let go."

Qi Mingxuan's voice was a bit hoarse from shouting out orders all year round. He coldly looked at Li Qiu'er and an invisible sense of oppression exuded from him couldn't help but cause Li Qiu'er to shudder.

"I... "I …" Lin Bi'er loosened her fingers. She was about to say more when she saw Qi Mingxuan's unhappy gaze.

He seemed to have killed someone on the battlefield … They even chopped off the heads of other clan leaders …

Li Qiu'er touched her neck, her legs feeling weak.

"Brother Qi …" General Qi, I'm sorry for disturbing you! " Li Qiu'er didn't dare to provoke Qi Mingxuan anymore. She turned to leave, but when she turned around, she found that the empress dowager was standing right behind her.

"Miss Li, where are you going in such a hurry?" Lin Shuang narrowed his eyes and looked towards Li Qiu'er. "Why are you not bowing when you see me? Is it because no one in the House of the Marquis of Anping taught you how to behave?"

"This subject … this subject's daughter greets Esteemed Empress Dowager." Li Qiu'er was frightened successively, and for a moment, she couldn't even speak clearly.

"Sigh, there really aren't any rules at all." Lin Shushang shook his head, his tone full of ridicule, "Just after the national mourning, he went out wearing red and pink clothes. Marquis' Mansion really taught such a good daughter."

Li Qiu'er knelt on the ground with a thump. "Esteemed empress dowager, this subject's daughter is ignorant. This subject didn't do it on purpose!" "Esteemed Empress Dowager, please forgive me!"

If Li Qiu'er knew that she would encounter such a thing today, she wouldn't have come to this palace banquet even if she were beaten to death.

Lin Shu frowned, but he was sneering in his heart.

Today, Lin Shushang had purposely come here to cause trouble. Don't think that she didn't know that the noble ladies of similar age in the capital were secretly mocking her.

Since they had already come to their doorsteps, how could Lin Shu Qian spare them?

The ladies who were rushing to the royal banquet were all dressed up with their full strength. The red, green and purple ones were even more colorful than the last. Lin Shushang had already punished several people with this reason.

"Someone, bring Miss Li to the Marquis' wife. Ask the Marquis' wife for me how she taught my daughter."

As soon as she finished speaking, a palace maid came up and escorted Li Qiu'er to find Madam An Ping.

The accusation of being disrespectful to the late emperor was enough to cause the Residence of the Marquis to suffer.

Lin Shuqiang smiled complacently as he saw Qi Mingxuan looking at him with a complicated expression.

In Qi Mingxuan's eyes, that scene just now had turned into a disrespect towards her dead husband that Lin Shushuang could not tolerate.

"Greetings to Esteemed Empress Dowager." Qi Mingxuan lowered his head in a bow, but the words' esteemed empress dowager 'made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"No need for formalities." Lin Shu looked at Qi Mingxuan, who stood up straight. He could barely reach Qi Mingxuan's shoulders.

Who would have thought that the shortest of the children, Qi Mingxuan, would grow up to be so tall?

"Qing Qing, the capital is different from Mo Bei, you still have to be careful."

After all, they were old acquaintances, so it was best to remind him a bit. After all, Lin Shutian was very clear on the thoughts of these goblins in the capital.

"This lowly general thanks the empress dowager for her advice."

Lin Shu nodded his head. He realized that it had been more than ten years since he last met her, and he couldn't find any words to say.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Lin Shu waved her hand and said, "You can leave now."

Qi Mingxuan bowed silently, then left.

On the other hand, Lin Shushang was a little confused. Qi Mingxuan was such a cheerful little fatty from before. How come after so many years, not only did he look like a different person, but his personality was also completely different?

What had he experienced all these years on the battlefield?
