All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Seeing that Mu Huai'an was in a daze for some reason, Shen Lingxi ignored him and was pushed towards the end of the long street by the crowd.

At first, she was petite and flexible in footwork, and she was still able to handle it with ease.

The closer you are to the gate of the palace, the more people there are, and you have to wait for a while after walking two steps.

Later, Chu Yan simply hugged her waist, performed lightness kung fu, and flew up to the eaves.

The two of them were already outstanding in appearance, and they made such a move under the watchful eyes of the public, which naturally attracted the attention of many passers-by.

A few of them, hidden in the crowd, dressed as the common people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, looked at each other, and then disappeared towards the dark alley beside the long street at the same time...

When Chu Yan took Shen Lingxi to fly over the eaves and walls, they arrived at the roof at the end of the long street.

On the open space opposite, the banquet for thousands of people set up by the Yunjiang Palace, many people have already sat in the banquet.

According to the customs of Yunjiang, since it is a pepper paste feast, there must be a prayer dance.

With several salutes fired, more than [-] dancers in ceremonial dresses filed into the arena, dancing to the flutes and drums.

At this moment, Mu Huai'an, who was just behind, also performed lightness kung fu, flew over from the roof, and landed beside Shen Lingxi.

He looked at the women whose waists were dancing like water snakes, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he pretended to be disappointed and said, "I heard that Yunjiang's blessing dance is pure and soft, and can transform all things, like gods descending into the world... I didn't expect it to be the same as those flower shops. The dancer is no different, it seems that the rumors may not be true."

Shen Lingxi gave him a slight sideways glance.

"Yunjiang Blessing Dance, also known as Yunling Dance, is a solo dance performed by a saint. Now that the person who can dance is dead, there will be no more Yunling Dance in this world. Although it has the same name, it is neither a recipe nor a taste. Shaoqing has never seen it before, so please don't slander it lightly."

Mu Huai'an tapped his palm lightly with the fan bone, and asked in feigned surprise: "Could it be that the Crown Princess has seen the real Yun Lingwu before? If not, how could she know so clearly?"

Shen Lingxi looked at him and smiled.

"Shaoqing may have forgotten that my eyes can see things that you can't see."

She said, pointing to behind him intentionally, "I don't know, but the friend standing behind you knows it very well. He is very angry at what you said just now."

Mu Huai'an's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously moved away, dodging to the side.

Seeing the playful smile on Shen Lingxi's face, Mu Huai'an lowered his voice: "Shen Lingxi, you..."

"Mu Shaoqing, what did you call her?" Chu Yan, who was on the side, looked on coldly and spoke softly.

Mu Huai'an's face froze, and he hurriedly bowed to Shen Lingxi, "I just made a slip of the tongue just now, please forgive me the princess."

Shen Lingxi frowned.

"Since Mu Shaoqing knows that you are wrong, I will forgive you this time. As the saying goes, misfortune comes from the mouth, Shaoqing should be more cautious in his words and deeds in the future."

Mu Huai'an raised his eyelids, gave her a look of "Don't push me too hard", and then lowered it again, it should be respectful.

Shen Lingxi made a face at him, then turned her head and silently said "thank you" to Chu Yan, and then looked in front of the palace again.

Chu Yan straightened her lips, cast a cold glance at Mu Huai'an, and walked behind Shen Lingxi pretending to be careless, keeping the distance between the two of them.

Mu Huai'an lowered his eyes, and a silent smile curled up on his lips.

While the three of them were talking, the prayer dance performed by the group of dancers also came to an end.

After a series of quiet drumming sounds of "Boom, Boom, Boom" were heard.

Then he saw a tall figure wearing a scarlet python robe and a gold crown inlaid with red sapphires, supported and surrounded by others, walking out from the gate of the palace.

"The king of Yunjiang, the king of Yunjiang!"

In the quiet crowd, no one knew the identity of that person.

The people saluted him in unison.

Because today, among the people present, most of them are from Yunjiang, most of them kneel down devoutly when they saw Yunhong Mountain, and performed Yunjiang salutes to him.

Such a scene made Shen Lingxi feel in a trance that she seemed to have returned to her previous life in Yunguo.

Perhaps it was because Yun Hongshan had just recovered from a serious illness. His walking posture was a little stiff, and he stood still on the steps in front of the mansion with the help of people from left to right.

The wind lamp under the porch of the Wangfu swayed with the wind, and it just happened to cover his face under the shadow of the lamp, making it hard to see clearly.

On the contrary, it is a young man who is supporting Yun Hongshan's right arm. He is about 30 years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified appearance.

Shen Lingxi certainly recognized that person.

Yunjiang Prince's son, Yun Chao.

Yun Chao is the eldest son of Yun Hongshan, born of Yunjiang Princess Xiao.

The Xiao family is a powerful family in Yunguo. Although it is not as good as the Si family of Shen Lingxi's deceased mother, it is respected for giving birth to a saint.It can also be regarded as one of the best big clans in Yunguo.

When Yun Hongshan was still the king of Xijing, although Yun Chao was older than Yun Chong, he was Yun Chong's companion.

The two of them are no different, and standing together anyway, they can't come up with the same brain.

It's only been a few years since we saw each other, and Yun Chao looks like he's completely reborn.

Followed behind Yunchao is Yunhongshan's official concubine Xiao Shi.

Mrs. Xiao is about 40 years old, with a square face, with heroic features, and dressed in jewels and jewels, elegant and luxurious.

She kept her eyes on her son, with pride in her eyes.

Shen Lingxi's gaze swept across the faces of the mother and child, and turned to the man supporting Yun Hongshan's left arm.

The man was taller than Yun Hongshan by a head, and was wearing a dark cloak. The wide hood of the cloak completely covered his head and face. Like Yun Hongshan, he stood under the shadow of the lamp.

One can only see that he is a very thin and fair person from his arm supporting Yun Hongshan.

Just as Shen Lingxi was sizing up the man, Yun Chao spoke loudly instead of Yun Hongshan: "Everyone, today my father and king specially set up a pepper paste banquet to celebrate the wedding of the prince and the princess. The brewing is bestowed by the blessing of the Zetian God, which can ensure health and longevity, and the blessings will last forever, please accept it."

The voice fell, and there was a burst of cheers on the field.

The unique sound of flutes and drums in Yunjiang sounded again, and the dancers carried the wine jars, shuttled through the crowd, and poured the pepper wine to the people who came to the banquet to drink.

This is a running water banquet, although there are a large number of people, there are people from the government office and the soldiers and horses of the five cities on duty, it is very lively, but there is no trouble.

Yun Hongshan's family stood in front of the mansion for about half a quarter of an hour.

Shen Lingxi saw Princess Yunjiang walking up to Yun Chao's side, whispered something in his ear, then turned around first, and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

She frowned, then turned her eyes to look at Yun Chao's face.

He exchanged winks with the man in the veiled hat, and the two of them, just like before, supported Yun Hongshan to walk in.

Shen Lingxi's apricot eyes were slightly deep, she looked at Yun Hongshan's slightly stiff footsteps, and asked thoughtfully to the two people beside her, "Look, is there something wrong with Yun Hongshan?"
