C6 Palace Banquet

During the Empress' birthday banquet, all the officials and family members were invited. The officials were all flattering each other. Shen Qingling never liked this kind of scene, so she just sat in the corner and ate pastries.

Suddenly, the scene quietened down, and everyone looked at the entrance of the hall in unison.

Shen Qingling also looked over curiously and saw a man slowly walking in.

The man was wearing a pale green robe and there was a short flute tied around his waist. His figure was thin but his temperament was outstanding. He was a handsome Wind God.

Looking up, the man's eyes were all grey and white, which did not match his exquisite face.

The memory in her mind surfaced and Shen Qingling immediately understood the man's identity.

King Yan , Situ Yan, was born with eye disease. His vision was blurry, and he had been unhappy with Emperor Situ since he was a child. He had been raised in a palace and was only allowed to enter the capital in recent years.

He was also a pitiful person.

While Shen Qingling was sighing in her heart, Situ Yan walked closer to her, lifted his robe, and sat beside her.

The world where martial arts was respected was not feudal. Men and women could sit together, but people like him who focused on her directly sat down beside her, attracting the attention of almost everyone present.

Shen Qingling did not mind. In her previous life, as a top tier Alchemist refining, she was already accustomed to such a gaze. This was also a public place. Situ Yan could sit wherever he wanted. Furthermore. . . She did not hate this man.

Old General Shen, who was sitting at the front, frowned when he saw this. Just as he was about to get up and walk over, the eunuch's sharp voice sounded.

"The Emperor and Empress have arrived!"

Emperor Situ and the Empress came hand in hand and everyone got up to kneel. With Old General Shen's identity, he could only bow. Shen Changfeng's legs were not convenient and he could only bow while sitting.

Shen Qingling relied on her petite figure and was in a corner. She quietly squatted down and did not kneel down, but she saw Situ Yan doing the same.

"Rise!" Emperor Situ's dragon robe fluttered and he sat down on the dragon throne.

Everyone stood up.

Emperor Situ's sharp eyes swept across the crowd and he smiled amiably and generously. "Today is the Empress's birthday, so it's fine as long as it's a family feast. Feel free to speak freely. There's no need to restrain yourself, quickly take a seat. "

Everyone sat down, even though they said so, no one really dared to treat it as a family banquet.

Only Shen Qingling and Situ Yan were really eating and drinking very casually.

"Master, this gray-eyed man is so miserable. "

Radish's voice rang in her mind, and Shen Qingling stopped drinking. "What do you mean?"

"The poison all over my body. I'm afraid I won't be able to live for more than a few years. " Radish sighed again.

The radish was a Purple Cloud Ring Spirit Ring. It had a miraculous effect. Even one of its radish whiskers could cure diseases. It could tell anything poisonous with just a glance.

Shen Qingling had also heard about the dispute between the royal family and Shen Qingling. She could not help but sigh.

Situ Yan heard her sigh and looked at her. Shen Qingling raised her wine cup in embarrassment.

The latter smiled faintly and picked up the tea cup to take a sip.

It was as warm as jade and gave people a favorable impression.

"When Old General Shen went out this time, did he find a famous doctor that could cure Changfeng's leg disease?" Emperor Situ suddenly asked.

Old General Shen said faintly. "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's just that my leg has been ill for many years. It's not easy to treat it. "

"There's a new famous doctor in the Palace. When the banquet is over, let him diagnose and treat Changfeng. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty. " Facing the pitiful looks of sympathy from all around, Shen Changfeng was neither humble nor humble.

"Your Majesty, Qingling is already sixteen years old. She should be getting married soon. " The Empress smiled and spoke.

Shen Qingling's drinking movement paused. Why did it have to do with her?

"Feng'er and Qingling were already engaged, why don't Your Majesty give an Imperial Decree to let them get married as soon as possible. "

When these words came out, everyone looked at Shen Qingling in the corner. Situ Yan also looked at her.

Shen Qingling's mouth twitched. Is the Empress's brain alright?

In the original owner's memories, the Empress did not like her and felt that she was a trash that was not worthy of Situ Feng. Why did she take the initiative to ask for marriage now?

Also, didn't the engagement already end last time?

Thinking about it again, Shen Qingling understood. She lazily turned the wine cup and had a mocking expression.

In these few days, Shen Qingling had already figured out the situation. The Imperial Family was afraid of the Shen family. They wanted to touch the Shen family. Thinking of Old General Shen's grandmaster strength and the might of the Divine Brave Army, they did not dare to do so.

They knew that she was Old General Shen's favorite granddaughter, so they deliberately used her to restrain the Shen family. With such ambition, how could they allow Situ Feng to break off the engagement privately?

When the Empress said this, Shen Qingxue's face turned pale, and she looked at Situ Feng with tears in her eyes.

Situ Feng's heart ached badly and he fiercely glared at Shen Qingling.

It was all because of this woman that Xue'er was so sad!

Shen Qingling was speechless. Why was she staring at him? Since you love her so much, then hurry up and reject the marriage!

"The Empress is right, then. . . "

"Royal Father, I don't want to marry Shen Qingling!" Before Emperor Situ could finish, another voice sounded.

When he said this, the entire hall was silent.

Everyone in the capital knew that Prince hated Shen Qingling to the core, but this was a rejection of marriage in front of everyone!

Emperor Situ's face was gloomy. He looked at Situ Feng and said in an imposing manner without being angry, "What did you say?"

The Empress gave Situ Feng a look, indicating that he should not be rash.

Situ Feng looked at Shen Qingxue who had tears in her eyes and finally got up. He walked to the hall and knelt down. "Royal Father, I am not willing to marry Shen Qingling! I am in love with young lady Shen, Shen Qingxue. If I really want to marry her, I will only marry her. "

"How dare you! Are you joking with my words?!"

All of the officials were shocked, and they hurriedly left their seats and knelt down. Their hearts were filled with sweat.

Prince was too bold. Wasn't this slapping Old General Shen in the face?!

It was fine if you were unwilling to marry Shen Qingling, but you actually said that you were in love with Shen Qingxue.

They carefully looked at the furious Old General Shen and quickly lowered their heads.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Feng'er was just spouting nonsense. " The Empress said to the palace guard, "The Crown Prince is drunk, quickly bring him down to sober up!"

Situ Feng was unwilling, "Queen Mother Royal Father, Shen Qingling was unable to cultivate since she was young. She is just a trash. How can I marry. . . "

"Crown Prince, are you going to defy the decree?"

When the word 'resist the decree' came out, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

This crime was extremely serious.
