Red Robe

. "

"Of course it's for practice!" Xian Yu didn't want to hide it either.

After hearing this, Li Qingning immediately figured it out.

Why does she always feel that Xianyu's method of cultivation is very weird, far from the right way, even going in the opposite way, it's really weird, never thought that it has something to do with Danyin Juan.

"Have you practiced the Danyin scroll?" Li Qingning's face darkened, "The Danyin scroll and the second scroll have been on Weifeng Island, where did you get the first scroll?"

"I naturally have a way to find it." Xian Yu raised the corners of his lips.

Li Qingning's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Xian Yu with disdain in her eyes, and her temperament was so capricious, maybe it had something to do with Dan Yin's remnants.

She said in a deep voice: "Do you know what the consequences will be if you practice the Danyin scroll?"

"I don't know." Xian Yu didn't care.

Li Qingning frowned, looking at Xian Yu's nonchalant look, her anger came from her heart, but she returned her anger, so she wouldn't make a move.

Xian Yu sneered, hearing Li Qingning's questioning tone, she couldn't help but think about the past life.

In her previous life, she searched all over Dongzhou just for the incomplete second volume.

Without the second volume, there is no breakthrough, and if there is no breakthrough, then there is no way to fight against the two big sects that have teamed up with several small sects. If they can't fight against, she and Li Qingning will definitely die!

But Li Qingning wanted to hold onto the fragmented scroll, not revealing even the slightest clue, and kept it from her until she died.

Didn't expect it to still be like this.

Xian Yu snorted coldly, knowing that if she backed down step by step, she would only indulge Li Qingning, and since she was tough and not soft, then she would not be polite.

The next moment, she jumped up on the drum stool, touched the vermilion brocade shoes on the ground, and rushed forward, "Your Highness won't give it, so I won't take it myself."

"When you were on the island before, you really didn't know that Danyin was still on Duyan Terrace?" Li Qingning flung her sleeves to avoid it.

"I don't know, if His Highness hadn't reminded me, I really didn't know the next volume and hid in Duyan Terrace." Xian Yu raised her jade arm, her red cuff slipped to her elbow, and she grabbed the person in front of her with plain five fingers.

Although this bedroom is not too small, if you use your hands, it is a little narrow.

Li Qingning frowned, still restrained and retreated again and again.

"Then you pretended to be a child and went to the island at first, and then you approached me, what are you trying to do with me?" There seemed to be thick clouds between her brows, and seeing that Xian Yu was not polite at all, she shook off a slap on the outside and inside Xu .

A gust of palm wind hit, and Xian Yu turned his head slightly, only to realize that this palm was not as strong as it appeared on the surface.

He looked very much like Li Qingning herself.

The palm wind swept across the mirror stand, and the jade and porcelain boxes fell to the ground.

There was a snap, very loud.

This sound attracted Fangxin and the maid on duty to approach quickly, Fangxin stuck to the door and called: "Your Highness?"

No one responded, only the sound of wind passing by.

The little maid couldn't see or hear clearly, but Fangxin vaguely caught a glimpse of two figures in the room. She took a breath, but felt that her eyes were a little hot, and quickly covered the little maid's eyes, saying : "No need to ask, Your Highness is fine."

The little maid didn't know why, but she was still very nervous, "Why, why?"

Fang Xin pretended not to care and said: "His Royal Highness spends time and energy all day long. It doesn't matter if you have some hobbies. In the room... it's just a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer."

The little maid didn't understand anymore.

inside the house.

Xian Yu let out a laugh, let go of his spiritual energy and went up to meet him, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness still doesn't believe me after talking so much."

Li Qingning never expected that this person would stop as soon as he said he would stop, and bumped into him desperately.

She quickly restrained her sharp edge, so as not to get hurt when this person bumped straight into it.

The man in red paused for a moment, looked at her with stern eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "I'm your Highness."

Li Qingning was stunned for a moment, then quickly took a step back.

How can you say such a thing in such a tense situation?

She stared at the beauty in red in the tulle in front of her, still unable to believe that a child who was still young on the island could say such a thing.

After calming down for a while, she frowned and said, "I can't tell you where the Danyin remnants are."

"What are you afraid of!" Xian Yu snapped.

Seeing her insistence on this, Li Qingning pondered for a while before saying: "Dan Yin Juan is extremely domineering, it can hurt eight hundred enemies and one thousand, and those with young minds must not practice it."

"Could it be that Your Highness understands this scroll better than I do? Besides, I'm not young." Xian Yu almost gritted her teeth.

"Then how old are you?" Li Qingning asked.

How old is it?

Xian Yu took a deep breath, counted with his fingers, and said coldly after a while: "I don't know."

Li Qingning watched as she tapped her fingers twice, and both times she tapped seven fingers before stopping. What else could this be if she wasn't seven years old!

Her forehead twitched, "After you figure it out, you can ask Bengong for it."

"But I have to do it now." Xian Yu frowned.

Li Qingning was indifferent.

Xian Yu sneered, and cast a sideways glance at this wolf-hearted thing.

With just one glance, he ruthlessly tore his gaze away, pushed the door open and left Yangning Palace, Fang Xin and the little palace maid outside the door took a big step back in shock.

She jumped up and landed on the eaves, stepped on the blue tiles on the eaves and walked for a long time before she suddenly came to her senses, what is the matter of age when practicing alchemy?

Besides, she really doesn't know how old she is now.

This Li Qingning is really hateful.

In Yangning Palace, Li Qingning picked up the jade chopsticks and put them down again, and finally just took a sip of tea.

Her mind was completely disturbed, as if all the intrigues were put on one side, and Feng Xianyu stood on the lowered seesaw on the other side.

There was a lot of noise in the room just now, but now it's suddenly quiet, and I feel a little uncomfortable.

It always feels like something is missing.

The back view of Xian Yu leaving bitterly was reflected in her mind, and she couldn't leave it for a long time, and even a back view caused her to think about it again and again.

The back is so thin, the shoulders seem to be shaved, and the waist is like a restraint.

Going decisively and never looking back, this scene seems familiar.

In a trance, she seemed to see something that she had never experienced before.

Indistinctly, that coquettish voice sounded in her ears again, and the man asked her through gritted teeth: "Li Qingning, I have gone through fire and water for you, and I am so heartbroken. It is good for you to sit in this position now, and let me go?"

"Isn't it good to give you a city?" She heard herself speak so coldly.

"Okay, okay." The man in red's eyes were red and bloodshot, even though he was born beautifully, he still looked like a demon.

"You don't need to pay the annual tribute, and you don't need to go to Beijing to meet on time. You should be very happy." She said coldly again.

The man in red snorted, "Happy, do you really want me to be happy?"

These words seemed to be questioning, and they cut two knives on her heart like a knife.

But she was the one who handed the knife, and she was willing to have her chest cut open and her heart pulled out.

But now, even if she holds her heart in both hands, the people in front of her probably won't even look at it.

"After a while, when the affairs of the imperial court are finished, you order people to open the city gate, and the imperial horses in the palace will drive in with a cart." Her heart was racing, but her voice was insipid.

The man in red sneered: "Come and see me in a while, really?"

"Really." She said with downcast eyes.

"I don't want your city, I'm going back to the Ceasefire Palace." The man in red raised his sleeves, and the fiery figure gradually walked away.

After leaving, she just watched him leave, or she opened her mouth to drive him away.

It's nothing more than a heart like a knife.

Li Qingning only felt her body tremble slightly, and her blood surged up suddenly, as if she was extremely sad and angry.

I don't know how long it took before she raised her hand to call for the maid, her red lips moved slightly, and she said with extreme pain: "Bring the paper and ink, hand over the jade seal, he can give whatever he wants, but, the lonely person, he can't move."

The word "solitary" is really lonely. When you come, you are alone, and when you go, you have nothing to rely on.

After dropping the jade seal, she handed the imperial decree to the maid beside her, who ran out with tears in her eyes.

He adjusted his clothes slightly, combed his black hair, and applied rouge.

The moment the palace door was pushed open, thousands of arrows came.

Then her consciousness seemed to be blurred, and then she felt severe pain in her luteal bone and ankle, and her whole body was clammy and cold, as if she had been submerged in water.

Bang.

Li Qingning came back to her senses suddenly, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground, and the tea and broken porcelain splashed everywhere.

Chapter 44

44

Those scenes seemed to be engraved into her bones, and after they emerged in her mind, she couldn't forget them no matter what.

Every scene is extremely real, as if she experienced it personally.

If she hadn't experienced it personally, how could she remember it so clearly, and if she hadn't experienced it personally, how could she have imagined these interlocking scenes.

The pain from the thousands of arrows piercing the body and the black iron piercing the bones seemed to still be on her body, she pursed her lips, and raised her hand to caress the shoulder bone, but it was true that there was not even the slightest injury.

It's just that pain, even the heart-wrenching pain when the man in red left, seemed to be burned into his soul, and he couldn't let go of it.

These memories are so real and vivid, like...

It's like what happened in the previous life.

Thinking of this, Li Qingning couldn't help but hold her breath, could it be that it was really her previous life? !

Her mind was trembling, and she sat motionless, unable to settle down for a long time, until her whole body was almost paralyzed, and she rolled her eyes.

Could it be that she really came back from rebirth, and what she experienced in the previous life, she will experience again in this life?

The dishes on the table are already completely cool, and the sporadic tea spilled on the side of the bowl is almost dry.

The more Li Qingning thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Otherwise, why was every place in the palace in her dream similar to but different from the present, why she held the jade seal, and why she called herself like that.

Thinking about it this way, it was really not easy for her in her previous life, and... and she was very sorry for Xian Yu.

Thinking of Xian Yu, one can't help thinking about whether Xian Yu is like her.

Just as he was lost in thought, the door was knocked twice suddenly.

"Your Highness?" Fang Xin asked cautiously outside the door.

Li Qingning pursed her lips slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Do you want to ask someone to clean it up?" Fang Xin lowered her voice, her tone was light and trembling, as if the people in the room had just done something shady.

Li Qingning lowered her eyes to look at the mess all over the floor, there were broken porcelain, cracked jade, tea and makeup powder everywhere, it looked like a thief had been robbed.

Still a stubborn and arrogant thief.

Looking at the cold dishes on the table again, I really lost my appetite.

She thought to herself, the house suddenly became so chaotic, if another court lady tidied it up, she would inevitably be slandered, if it was spread to the outside, the rumors would definitely not sound very good, and she didn't know how it would be arranged.

Li Qingning frowned slightly, and said loudly, "Come in and clean up."

Fang's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, usually the maids on duty would clean it up, why did she let her in today to clean it up, could it be that the condition of the house is very...

Spectacular?

Fang Xin pushed the door open and stepped in, seeing the tragic scene all over the place when she lowered her eyes, she couldn't help but gasped.

She took a broom and a rag and cleaned up carefully.

While cleaning, she glanced at Li Qingning quietly, and saw that the eldest princess's complexion was not very good, and her brows were slightly frowned, as if she was not very happy.

She couldn't help thinking to herself, it's been so intense just now, could it be that she hasn't fully enjoyed herself yet?

Unexpectedly, really unexpected, she had been with Li Qingning for so many years, but she didn't know that her master's preferences were so different.

Seeing that Li Qingning was sitting still, she didn't dare to look around casually, she lowered her head and swept the broken porcelain together, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you want to change the mattress?"

Li Qingning was still thinking about it, and suddenly felt that everything made sense before, but she didn't have Xian Yu's childhood appearance in her dream, and she probably had never seen Xian Yu's childhood appearance in her previous life.

She speculated for a long time, wondering whether Xian Yu had also dreamed about all kinds of past lives.

When she was lost in thought again, she suddenly heard Fang Xin's words. She was stunned for a moment, and then opened her lips and asked, "Why do you want to change the mattress?"

Fangxin gasped suddenly, and thought, His Highness always loves cleanliness, if the mattress is dirty, it must be changed, and now the mattress does not need to be changed, then, then...

Does that mean that the place where His Highness enjoys himself is elsewhere in this bedroom?

This was too much, it really hurt the fairy in red.

Li Qingning thought for a while, "Go and tidy up the mirror stand."

The mirror table was slapped into a mess by the aura, powder and powder were scattered all over the place, and there was a palm print on the mirror, maybe it was left by the palm wind.

Fang Xin turned her head to look, unable to recover for a long time.

Actually, actually on the mirror stage?

It's worth it...

The broken porcelain in the room was swept out the door and rattled on the ground.

Li Qingning was deeply concerned about the past and present. Although she had seen similar strange stories in ancient books, most of them were rumored in the market, and she didn't know how true or false they were.

She thought of the appearance of Xian Yu in her previous life when she left, and her heart was suddenly pulled.

If she really came back from rebirth, then she would definitely not let what happened in her previous life happen again.

Since God has pity on her and chooses her to come back again, then she must turn things around.

The person whom Li Qingning was thinking of had just left Yangning Palace and went to find someone else. It was not good to find anyone, but it was King Fengxian who had a grudge against Li Qingning.

Xian Yu didn't mean to be against Li Qingning, but King Fengxian was still on guard against her. If she wanted to gain trust, she couldn't just sit still. Since she wanted to be a counselor, she had to do her duty.

She restrained her arrogance, sat in front of King Fengxian, and said seriously: "I don't know what the lord has ordered."

King Fengxian pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty has been seriously ill for a long time, and you have not allowed the imperial doctor to come close. This king is very worried about Your Majesty's dragon body."

The corners of her lips curled up under the fresh jade tulle, and the tails of her upturned eyes were as beautiful as demons. She thought to herself, what worries, she was clearly looking forward to the death of Li Zaiyu.

I thought so in my heart, but said in my mouth: "The loyalty of the prince can be learned from."

"It's a pity that as this king, I can't easily ask about your majesty's well-being. I'm afraid people will distort my original intention." King Fengxian put his hand on the table and tapped his index finger lightly.

"What does the prince mean?" Xian Yu moved a little closer.

"Your Majesty has a stable temper since he was a child, and he has never taken care of the sick or avoided medical treatment. This king sees that the two people beside His Majesty are not simple. They often go in and out with His Majesty. Maybe this matter has a close relationship with them." King Fengxian said again. .

This was said in a twist and turn, and Xian Yu understood it as soon as he heard it. He clearly felt that those two people were obstructing it.

"My lord thinks that those two people..." She didn't finish her sentence.

King Fengxian lowered his eyes, "This king is just a little suspicious. Your majesty's dragon body cannot be safe for a day, and this king cannot be at ease for a day."

"If Your Majesty knows that the prince has such thoughts, he will be very happy." Xian Yu said slowly.

King Feng Xian waved his hand, "Your Majesty, I grew up watching him, and everyone said that the royal family is ruthless, but how do outsiders understand?"

Xian Yu sneered in his heart, and almost laughed out loud. He didn't expect King Feng Xian to be so good at putting on airs.

"I don't know what the intentions of those two people who are following His Majesty are, they have bewitched His Majesty so much that they didn't even see the imperial doctor." After a while, King Feng Xian said worriedly.

Xian Yu's eyes curved slightly, and the sarcasm on his face was suppressed for a moment, "Wait for me to go and find out for the prince."

King Fengxian nodded: "Please trouble the fairy."

"My lord, you're being polite. Since I have assumed the position of my lord's counselor, this is my job." Xian Yu's eyes rolled, she was really docile and pleasant.

Only then did King Fengxian stretch his brows, and said again: "Those two belong to the two sects, fairies should be careful."

"That's natural." Xian Yu nodded slightly, and stepped back with both hands.

She said she was going to investigate, but she didn't go. After all, those two people were always by Li Zaiyu's side, and their cultivation levels were not known for now.

When returning to the residence, the passing maids whispered about the Qianqiu Festival.

"This year's Qianqiu Festival is very lively. Even several neighboring countries have sent envoys to congratulate. The Empress should be very happy."

"Those envoys will definitely bring a lot of gifts. If the emperor is happy for a while, maybe they will reward the palace people with some."

"So, there must be no mistakes at the banquet."

"Dare to make a mistake? You are afraid that you will die."

"Of course I don't dare. Speaking of which, the princess was not in the palace during the Qianqiu Festival last year. I heard from Mr. Xue that the envoy seemed to mention the marriage, but unfortunately it fell through for some reason. I don't know what will happen this year. .”

"Your Highness...it's hard to say. When I was on duty in Yangning Palace, His Highness never even saw the beauties His Majesty bestowed on Yangning Palace."

"Stop talking, you'll know tomorrow."

Xian Yu first frowned, then slightly raised his brows.

She followed lightly in the dark and heard it very clearly.

She knew that Yangning Palace raised a group of beauties who were not very attractive and useless, but every time she remembered or heard about it, she still felt unable to swallow her breath.

Knowing that Li Qingning didn't care about him, she felt a little relieved.

However, this Qianqiu Festival is really interesting, and I don't know what the secret actions of King Fengxian and the princes will be.

Xian Yu lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, obviously she looked soft-hearted on the surface, but the corners of her lips were slightly raised under the gauze bead curtain, and she smiled viciously and slyly.

The next day, the Qianqiu Festival came as scheduled.

The whole country in Dongzhou celebrated together, the gates of the palace were wide open, and the maids in floats threw flowers and fruits to the people in the capital.The streets and alleys are full of lanterns and colorful silks. Looking around, there are huge crowds of people, which is very lively.

In the palace, tens of thousands of feet of red satin was laid directly on the palace gate, and a banquet was held in front of the main hall to entertain the royal family and officials.

The banquet was filled with delicacies on jade plates, including all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas.

Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, the subjects offered congratulatory gifts to the queen one after another, and the first ones to come out were the envoys from various countries.

Those envoys brought a lot of local products, including rare treasures and medicinal materials, among which were exotic animals and birds.

Xian Yu sat behind King Fengxian, and when others lowered their heads and focused their eyes, she boldly stared at Li Qing.

But after Li Qingning caught her line of sight, she avoided it and left as soon as she touched her.

Xian Yu was very puzzled, and she didn't know what Li Qingning was thinking, she looked like she was on fire, and she hid so quickly.

In fact, the eldest princess did not touch the fire, but was really on fire.

She is still not sure whether Xian Yu also dreamed about the past life, and when she thinks about the past life, she feels that she owes Xian Yu in every possible way.

Of course, it's not just because she feels indebted that she averts her eyes, the dream is full of fragrances, as Xian Yu said, she already knows the taste in the dream.

But now, how dare she think about it now, how dare she even think about it.

After all, when asked about his age, Xian Yu counted twice with seven fingers.

She must not think about such obscene things anymore, let alone seduce the other party.

At the banquet, an envoy was bringing the last congratulatory gift, when he slightly raised his hand, four guards walked over with a thing covered with a red cloth.

The things covered under the red cloth seemed to be extremely heavy, and the wheels under the weight made muffled sounds.

The envoy said: "The beast slaves in this flower cage are rare in the world. They dance when they hear the bells, which can bring happiness and see the secrets of heaven."

Li Qingning frowned slightly, raised her eyes and looked over.

The clan members and officials present also whispered softly, very curious about the thing in the cage.

The envoy lifted the red cloth, and the things in the cage were immediately revealed to everyone.

The people who were still whispering just now were all stunned, their mouths were still slightly opened, but they couldn't say a word.

Even Li Zaiyu, who was still smiling just now, frowned and his expression froze slightly.

It wasn't shock, nor surprise, the faces of the clan and officials present were all very complicated.

Xian Yu took a sip of his wine and raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at the thing in the cage.

Sure enough, it is very rare. The ones contained in the cage are the combination of spirit beasts and humans. There are six people in total.

I saw the delicate and frail boys and girls in the cage wearing Tuona costumes. At first glance, they seemed to be no different from ordinary people, but after a closer look, they found that they had short white hairs on both sides of their cheeks. .

Xian Yu was surprised. In her previous life, she was very fond of collecting strange things, and she was immediately attracted attention.

These beast slaves have no intelligence, and their lifespan is extremely short. Being born means that they will be treated as playthings, and their life will be very miserable, but if they meet some kind-hearted ones, they may raise them until their death.

When the man in the cage opened his mouth, although his white teeth had been polished, it could be seen that they were sharp, and even the sound he made was not a human voice, but——

Tiger howl.

Xian Yu smiled. She remembered that in her previous life, this Tuona country was quite impressive. It had been expanding its territory, but it had never threatened Dongzhou, only exerting a little pressure.

Everyone knows that the totem of Dongzhou is the white tiger. From this, it can be seen that the sending of white tiger beast slaves from Tona Kingdom is definitely not good intentions.

After a long time, Li Zaiyu said: "This beast slave can really bring happiness?"

The envoy of Tona Kingdom said: "Your Majesty, this beast slave has been in Tona Kingdom for a year, and Queen Sang gave birth to twins. On that day, all the birds sing together, and the dead tree is reborn. Of course, it will bring joy."

Li Zaiyu had a sick face, but forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your country's gift of such treasures."

He turned his eyes, stared at Li Qing who was at the table, and said: "I heard that I bestowed the face and beauty on the eldest princess last time, but I don't really appreciate the eldest princess's heart. If I get this wonderful beast slave today, I will definitely be able to do it." According to the wishes of the eldest princess."

Hearing this, the envoy's expression changed, but he was still smiling.

Xian Yu, who was sitting by the side, gasped, and forcibly looked away from the beast slave, unable to laugh at all.

Even Li Qingning's forehead twitched, although Li Zaiyu didn't want to give the envoy of that country down the steps, so he gave her the treasure he received on the spot, but this...

Tona's national style is open, and these animal slaves are also very...disrespectfully dressed.

"What do you think, imperial sister?" Li Zaiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and spoke affectionately, but his tone was a bit tough, obviously trying to force her to accept.

"Thank you, Brother Huang." Li Qingning stood up and saluted.

She had a very headache, how dare she refuse the emperor's gift, if she declined on the spot, it would be a shame on Li Zaiyu.

Li Zaiyu saw that her complexion was unkind, and said again: "The imperial sister can choose slowly."

Hearing this, Li Qingning turned her head and gave Fangxin a look, and said pointedly: "You go and choose two people."

Fangxin secretly guessed Li Qingning's meaning, then looked at the beauty in red sitting behind King Feng Xian, then nodded and said: "Yes."

Her footsteps were very heavy. After approaching the Huacang, her eyes swung back and forth among the six beast slaves, and she said after a long time: "They are all a little thinner, and the ones who are strong and resistant to beatings are the first choice."

The banquet was very quiet for a while.

Xian Yu was still angry just now, she lowered her head and drank a lot of wine in a muffled voice. After hearing this, she suddenly raised her head with disbelief on her face.

Changed, but to live a new life, Li Qingning has changed.

Chapter 45

45

At the grand banquet of the Qianqiu Festival, the clan members and ministers were packed to the brim.

After Fang Xin's words fell, she looked at the long princess in Xuanyi with her eyes.

Li Qingning sat with her back straight, although she didn't move, she was already sitting on pins and needles, and the slanted eyes from other places seemed to be stabbing at her back one by one.

"How do you say that?" Li Zaiyu said in a serious tone.

Li Qingning winked at Fangxin, and Fangxin continued: "Your Highness has already chosen two people to pray for Dongzhou on an auspicious day and night. This method will take five days. Now that you have this beast slave who can bring happiness Even better, it's just that these beast slaves are too weak, I don't know if they can still be as active and lively as they are today after five days."

Li Zaiyu's face softened a little, "The eldest princess has a heart, I don't know what blessing ceremony it is."

"It's the magic method of praying that the head of Weifeng Island used to pray for blessings." Li Qingning said flatly.

"I see." Li Zaiyu was dubious.

Li Qingning raised the corners of her lips slightly, her smile was almost non-existent, but the envoy who sent the beast slave couldn't smile.

The envoys of Natuna Kingdom didn't smile at first because Li Zaiyu passed on the gift to others so quickly, but now they don't laugh because of what Fangxin said earlier.

Li Qingning naturally knew why the envoy couldn't laugh. She was regarded as the flower of Dongzhou, not to mention the neighboring countries, even in Dongzhou, there were many royal family and nobles who fell in love with her. She should not leave when she returns to the capital this time. up.

Although the emperor probably wanted to use her to check and balance the power of several parties competing for reserves this time, he would not let her go, but if the emperor wanted to, he could also betroth her with a single sentence.

Fangcai Fangxin's words just now made everyone's imagination run wild. Although she explained later, the envoy was ordered to come, so he couldn't help but think a little bit more, such as whether the eldest princess of Dongzhou really has a quirk, and is she like her own monarch? Not a good match.

Li Qingning lowered her eyes and took a sip of light wine amidst the murmurs of others.

According to her thinking, the purpose of sending envoys from Tuona Kingdom this time is not only to show favor to Dongzhou on this Qianqiu Festival.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tona Kingdom is now strong and powerful, and its military and financial resources are not what it used to be. If it is really compared with Dongzhou, its military strength must be stronger than Dongzhou.

The people of Tona Kingdom have always been taller and stronger, and they actually have an advantage over Dongzhou in terms of marching troops.

However, the food production in the Tuona country is not very rich, so envoys were sent to show their goodwill many times before, in order to open up trade routes and communicate with each other.

There were constant whispers during the banquet, Li Qingning frowned slightly, thinking to herself, this time Tuona Kingdom is no exception, presumably she came here for the marriage.

She was on Weifeng Island during the Qianqiu Festival last year, and some envoys came to the capital. At that time, she sent someone to convey her intention of declining to Li Zaiyu. Unexpectedly, this year, people from Tuona Kingdom came again.

One year later, the territory of Tona Kingdom has opened up a lot, and even occupied a small country with rich products. It no longer needs Dongzhou's food as before. If they want to attack Dongzhou, there will be less food. Many concerns.

Last year, Li Zaiyu still had confidence, but this year it may not be so.

If you want to come to this country, it is really a big hidden danger.

It was nothing to laugh at such a scene at the banquet, but Li Qingning sat on the table peacefully, her expression still calm.

At the moment, she didn't have time to think about the matter that almost ruined her fame for the rest of her life, she turned her eyes slightly sideways, and looked towards King Fengxian.

This look just happened to meet the puzzled Feng Xianwang's eyes, and the two eyes were sharp, and they staggered for a moment.

Li Qingning didn't want to see King Feng Xian, but wanted to see Xian Yu behind him.

What is the first choice for those who are physically strong, she originally wanted to make her heart as smart as before, and said something else, but now she really jumped into the sea and couldn't wash it off.

Even if there is an afterword now, there are so many gossips in the palace, presumably it will not take long to spread it to ten or ten to a hundred. The royal secret that the eldest princess likes to be strong and strong and able to resist beatings will spread throughout the palace.

Li Qingning sighed inwardly, this is good, it will save a lot of trouble.

On the main seat, Li Zaiyu hesitated to speak, although his expression softened a bit, it was still not very good-looking.

After a long time, he said: "These beast slaves look very smart, it is very difficult to choose, so let's give this congratulatory gift first, and ask the eldest princess to choose after the banquet."

After saying these words, the faces of the envoys of Tona Kingdom became better.

Li Qingning lowered her body slightly to salute again, and turned her head to flirt with Fangxin.

Fang Xin just walked back, seeing that Li Qingning was uncertain, she wondered if she might have made a mistake, and then asked cautiously: "Your Highness, what books are you copying this time, and how many times?"

Li Qingning was silent for a long time, then Dan's lips moved, "That's all."

Fangxin breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little happy.

Li Qingning then said again: "It doesn't take much, just copy everything you copied before."

Fangxin took a deep breath, as if she was going all out, "Fangxin takes orders."

After the envoys of Tuona Kingdom went down, clan officials came up one after another to offer gifts.

The court lady took one by one, and after showing it to Li Zaiyu and the queen, she gave the gifts one by one.

All the congratulatory gifts had been presented, and the banquet started, and the beautiful maidservants danced lightly to the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras.

At the table, Xian Yu frowned slightly, always feeling that the Qianqiu Banquet was too/settled, it didn't look like she was hiding a sharp sword and cold light.

She raised her eyes and stared at Li Qing, only to see that the tall princess was dressed in a black robe like a crow's feathers, her fingers holding the white jade cup were all slender and white, her whole body was cold, she seemed to be out of tune with the surrounding bustle.

Everyone was happy, but she was still the same.

Everything is fine, except...

Beyond her altered preferences.

The ghost knows whether what Fangxin said later was the truth or a lie, but seeing Li Qingning doing this and that in her dream in this life, and waking up, it's all different. Maybe she was as strong as a cow in Li Qingning's dream, and when she woke up He was disliked for being thin.

The wine and delicacies in his mouth seemed to be tasteless, Xian Yu swallowed hard, almost choking.

The dancing posture of the beauty in front of her also seemed to be dull, and even the silk, bamboo and string music became noisy and harsh.

Xian Yu sighed, panicked in his heart, and wanted to ask the heartless eldest princess if he had any interest in her outside the dream, and if not, then stop thinking about her in dreams from now on!

King Feng Xian who was sitting in front was greeting the people sitting next to him, and what he said was insignificant.

Xian Yu turned his head and looked towards the second prince Li Wuyin, only to see that Li Wuyin was also talking loudly with others.

Shouldn't.

The beauties dancing with colorful silks in the distance retreated slowly, and a row of galloping horses galloped forward. On the horses, the colorful satin gauze was like butterfly wings. Looking from a distance, it was like a dream, and it was clear that there was a beautiful woman sitting on the horses.

Xian Yu frowned slightly, when the other horses stopped in the arena, a brown horse suddenly kicked its front feet, neighing and galloping forward.

That direction is Li Zaiyu's flower seat.

Seeing this, Xian Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly, bent his elbows and propped up his jaw, his posture was extremely lazy.

The sound of "help you" sounded everywhere, and the brown horse almost approached Li Zaiyu.

One of the monks standing behind Li Zaiyu raised his arm slightly, and the galloping horse was suddenly shaken away, and fell to the ground kicking around.

Xian Yu raised her eyebrows, and noticed that when the cultivator raised his hand, the aura around him seemed to be affected.

That person's cultivation level is really not low, he is probably also a Nascent Soul.

The two sects are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and they are Nascent Soul cultivators if they come out, but these two should be the best in the sect, otherwise why would they follow Li Zaiyu's side.

Among the people who besieged and killed her in the previous life, except for the two sect masters who were Huashen, almost all other monks were below Yuanying, and most of them were Jindan and Jianji.

Her strength increased slightly, and she almost crushed the jade cup in her hand.

I saw the beauty who fell from the horse just now was held down by several guards, the beauty paled in shock, and the voice of "wronged" came out of her mouth.

Li Zaiyu, who was sitting at the top, darkened again, and slowly glanced at the people below.

Xian Yu lowered her eyes, avoiding his sight.

The minister in charge of the banquet ran out tremblingly and knelt on the ground, saying: "Forgive me, Your Majesty, this horse was fine before the banquet, but it suddenly went crazy for some reason."

"Check." Li Zaiyu only said one word.

As soon as the words were said, not only the kneeling and trembling ministers, but also the dancers who had been captured, as well as those who were dancing and playing music just now were all dragged down, and the stable boy who was feeding the horses was not spared.

There was a moment of silence in the banquet, so quiet that the drop of a needle could be heard.

On this day of great joy, envoys from all over the world are at the banquet again, it is really ugly to have such a thing happen.

Xian Yu thought to himself, there is no need to think too much about this matter, just use your brain to know that the people behind the scenes intend to alarm Li Zaiyu, and they don't really want Li Zaiyu's life, otherwise how could they only move a mere horse, let alone the banquet It is not so easy to make a move under the watchful eyes of the public.

She secretly looked at the several royal family members at the banquet, and saw that they looked gloomy, and some of them were very shocked, and they didn't seem to be the ones who secretly contributed to the flames.

She still couldn't see the expression of King Fengxian, but she saw that the second prince had a slightly subtle expression, the corners of his lips were drawn down, and his eyes were drooping, but there seemed to be a hint of light in them.

This is interesting.

"Everyone, don't be distracted, come and play music." Li Zaiyu's cold face eased slightly, and he raised his hand and patted his palm.

Immediately, a few people rushed over and began to play and play.

Only then did the tense atmosphere at the banquet relax, and gradually regained the joy it should have had.

Xian Yu thought to himself, this interrogation is not
