Chapter 53: Beware of villains when attending a banquet in the palace

Everyone happily returned to the General's Mansion. The old general saw that everyone had returned, but the General and Elder Ling had not returned. He asked in confusion, "Xi'er, where are Elder and your father?"

"Haha, great uncle, we were so happy that we didn't wait for you to come back." Ling Zhengning scratched his head a little embarrassedly and explained. The others also looked embarrassed and nodded in agreement.

"You naughty kids! You only care about Danbi's result. As soon as you heard the news, you couldn't wait to run home to report the good news, completely ignoring the fact that we old guys are still at the competition site." The general pretended to be helpless and laughed and scolded, but his eyes were full of love and pampering.

At this time, the old general on the side asked anxiously: "Are the results of the Danbi competition out? How did Ling Bai and Xier perform?" His face was full of anticipation and nervousness, and he was obviously very concerned about the outcome of this game.

"Xi'er is first, Ling Bai is second. Although Xi'er's elixir level is one level lower than Ling Bai's, the elixir is 100% pure and has elixir patterns." Elder Ling announced the result loudly, his eyes full of joy and admiration.

He gently stroked the pill bottle in his hand, feeling the pure energy contained in it, and couldn't help but sighed: "This is the pill made by Xier, father, please take a look."

The old general was shaking with excitement, tears welling up in his eyes, and murmured to himself, "Good, good, good. Father, a genius has been born in our family." He held Grandfather Ling's hand tightly, his face filled with a smile of pride and happiness.

Just then, there was a commotion outside. A guard rushed in and knelt down to report: "The eldest prince has arrived!"

Following this announcement, the originally bustling scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked towards the door, their hearts full of anticipation.

The eldest prince, as an important figure in the royal family, has received much attention and admiration. His arrival undoubtedly adds more splendor and solemnity to this competition.

Everyone stood up and saluted to the door to show their respect for the eldest prince.

Elder Ling also stood up to greet the arrival of the eldest prince. He knew the eldest prince's status and influence very well, so he attached great importance to interacting with him.

The eldest prince walked into the hall, his eyes swept around, and finally fell on Ancestor Ling. He smiled and walked towards Ancestor Ling, bowed and said: "Ancestor Ling, congratulations on the emergence of such an excellent alchemist in your family."

Patriarch Ling quickly returned the gift and said humbly: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. This is all the result of the children's hard work." The eldest prince nodded, walked to the competition stage, picked up the pill made by Xier, and observed it carefully.

There was a hint of surprise and admiration in his eyes. He then put down the pill and smiled at Xi'er, "Well done, Xi'er. You are indeed a genius alchemist."

Xier looked at the eldest prince a little nervously. Although it was not the first time they met, it was after the Danbi was over, just like a student facing his teacher after an exam.

But she still mustered up her courage and saluted to the eldest prince, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty." The eldest prince smiled and waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be polite.

He turned to the people present and said, "This competition was very exciting. I saw many excellent alchemists. I hope you can continue to work hard and contribute to the prosperity of the empire."

Everyone agreed in unison, their hearts filled with hope and confidence for the future. The arrival of the eldest prince made them feel extremely honored, and it also inspired them to fight even harder.

They are determined to constantly break through themselves and become better versions of themselves on the future path of cultivation.

I saw a tall and handsome man slowly walking into the hall. He was dressed in gorgeous prince's attire and had an elegant temperament, which attracted much attention.

When everyone saw the eldest prince Xiao Jingtai, they all showed expressions of surprise and quickly stood up to prepare to salute.

However, the eldest prince smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone, please stand up. Today, I am here on the orders of the Royal Grandmother to invite you all to the Imperial Palace to celebrate the success of my cousin and the Ling Bai brothers in this competition."

After hearing this, everyone felt flattered and thanked him immediately. Then, they quickly ordered the servants to prepare the carriage and followed the eldest prince to the palace.

Along the way, everyone excitedly talked about the upcoming palace banquet and felt deeply honored to receive the royal hospitality.

Ling Chenxi also suggested to the elders at home that the third-level recovery pill refined in the competition be given to the Queen Mother, because she had been poisoned before.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the old general said, "This pill originally belonged to you, Xi'er. You thought of giving it to the Queen Mother, and it's worth her love for you."

Soon, the group arrived at the palace. The palace was majestic and magnificent, and people couldn't help but feel awe. The eldest prince led everyone into the banquet hall, and the royal grandmother had been waiting for a long time. She looked at everyone with a smile on her face, and her eyes were full of love.

"Congratulations, Pharmacist Ling Bai and Miss Xi. Your performance is really outstanding." The Empress Dowager said to Yun Chenxi and Ling Bai with a smile. Ling Chenxi and Ling Bai knelt down to thank the Empress Dowager.

Then, a grand banquet began. The tables were filled with sumptuous dishes, and the delicious wine and food made people salivate. The eldest prince chatted and laughed with everyone, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.

On this beautiful afternoon, everyone felt the care and glory of the royal family, and witnessed the outstanding achievements of Yun Chenxi and Ling Bai.

After lunch in the palace, everyone said goodbye and returned to the general's residence, but Ling Chenxi stayed in the palace to help the Empress Dowager with acupuncture and follow-up consultations.

"Great aunt, this is the recovery pill that I made today. Take it first, and Xier will give you acupuncture." Ling Chenxi said.

"Girl Xi, this pill is so precious, how can you give it to me?" The Queen Mother said with relief.

"Grand aunt, our ancestors agreed. Besides, since I can make this pill now, I will definitely make more high-quality pills in the future. Just eat it with confidence." Ling Chenxi said coquettishly and half-coaxing the empress dowager.

"Okay, I'll eat it," the queen mother said, and she swallowed the pill directly. Ling Chenxi then inserted the Nine-Turn Mysterious Needles into the acupuncture points on both of the queen mother's knees, and removed the needles half an hour later.

After the acupuncture, she reminded the Queen Mother and the personal nanny to be careful of the people around them. The last time she was poisoned, it must have been someone close to her.

Then Ling Chenxi asked the Queen Mother for leave and left the palace.
