Chapter 4 Entering the Palace

Xiao Zhiyun sighed helplessly, that's all, let's take the opportunity to inquire after entering the palace.

Two days later, the men and horses in the Qinghou Mansion were ready to go, and Xiao Zhiyun set out on the road with a feeling of apprehension. She kept praying that Mister Yin Yang must not be King Zhao!
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, after the Qinghou brothers and sisters handed over the invitation cards, the little servant led them to the place where the palace banquet was held.

But all the maids and servants brought by their own family stayed outside the palace gate.

Entering the Hall of Huanxi, there is a quiet and elegant sound of silk and bamboo orchestras in the hall, and delicious wine and home food are prepared on the banquet.

Before they had time to take a closer look, a female official led the two brothers and sisters to the table, and there was also Gong'e standing beside them for driving.

After sitting firmly, Xiao Zhiyun carefully looked at the environment in the hall again. It was the first time she saw the richness of the family this day, and it really blinded her eyes.

Then sneak a peek at the people at the other seats, all of them are full of extravagance.

Some of them met her once at the banquet in the Hou's Mansion, and she barely had an impression of them and knew their identities.

But there are... She doesn't know them anymore.

So she turned her head to look at her brother, who knew that the boy had a bright smile, and he was admiring everything in the hall innocently.

Xiao Zhiyun sighed softly, and quietly tugged Lord Qing's sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Master Qing looked at his sister.

Xiao Zhiyun asked softly, "Brother, who is that girl over there?"

"Which one?" Lord Qing was at a loss.

"That's the one..." Xiao Zhiyun raised her chin slightly, "I don't think it's easy to mess with that one."

Lord Qing looked over, and seeing those fox eyes, he immediately smiled and said, "That's Princess Gaomi."

"Princess Gaomi?" Xiao Zhiyun repeated in his mouth, and looked at Princess Gaomi a few more times.

I saw the girl smiling heartily, walking among the various banquets, although she was chatting, her eyebrows and eyes were not easy-going.

While watching, she saw Princess Gaomi glanced at the door and shouted happily: "Brother 21!"

Then the people in the hall paid homage one after another: "Greetings to His Royal Highness King Zhao."

Xiao Zhiyun paid homage with her brother decently, but because she lowered her head, she couldn't see King Zhao's true face.

"Get up."

The moment the cold voice sounded, Xiao Zhiyun's blood flowed backwards.

This voice...is Mr. Onmyo...

He is not a fan but the owner!

Then there are traces of his yin and yang aura that day.

Xiao Zhiyun was helped up by her brother, because she couldn't calm down for a long time, and her limbs were already stiff and unable to move.

After getting up, watching Princess Gaomi pass by holding Zhao Wang's arm, she seemed to see Zhao Wang's hasty glance after turning his head slightly.

She knew very well that the brief gaze was on her.

"Aren, don't you like the Xuexia soup from the gourmet restaurant? I bought it for you, and you have to promise me one thing." Zhao Wang looked back and said to Princess Gaomi in a normal tone.

"Really? The cook in his family has always had a weird temper. He is afraid of morality but not authority..."

As the two walked forward, their voices could no longer reach Xiao Zhiyun's ears. Naturally, she couldn't hear clearly what King Zhao asked Princess Gaomi to promise.

She had long since lost her mind to gossip, and only hoped that King Zhao would not think of her.

And over there, Princess Gaomi and King Zhao have already taken their seats.

Princess Gaomi looked at Xiao Zhiyun, who was slumped there, from a distance, and said to King Zhao with a smile: "It's easy to talk about it, and it's on me."

How dare Xiao Zhiyun go to see King Zhao here, for fear of being caught for peeking at the guests at the Hou Mansion's banquet again.

She handed the jade card to Master Qing, asked him to return it for her, and decided to go outside to get some air.

No one was following her, and she didn't dare to walk around at will. Getting lost is a trivial matter, and it is a bad thing to accidentally enter the palace.

So she was just wandering around the Hall of Joy.

In the late spring, the grass was green, and she walked on the gravel road bored, slowing down as much as possible, allowing herself to stay here for a while.

Walking to the corner, a tall and straight figure flashed in front of her, reaching out to block her way.

She took a half step back subconsciously, and after looking up to see the person coming, she pretended to salute calmly, "Greetings to His Royal Highness King Zhao."

"You know who I am now." Zhao Wang said lightly.

Xiao Zhiyun nodded silently. It was hard to know if she followed so many people on her knees just now.

She lowered her head slightly and looked at his clothes and accessories today, only to realize how much more luxurious they were compared to that day.

Guessing that he was in micro-clothes that day, he wanted to quietly take the jade token and leave.

As a result, not only did he not get the jade medal, but he also had a quarrel with her, which was unpleasant anyway.

The air was quiet for a moment, and King Zhao's voice sounded again, "Is this king full of energy?"

With that calm tone, Xiao Zhiyun didn't know Zhao Wang's intention for a moment, was he asking the teacher for the crime?Or just ask?
She was very careful, raised her head, looked at King Zhao sincerely, and said flatteringly: "You are a dragon and phoenix among people, so you are naturally full of spirit."

Zhao Wang seemed to be in a stable mood, but he opened his lips and asked, "Is my whole family well-rounded?"

Xiao Zhiyun was stunned, this King Zhao clearly wanted to embarrass her.

At this moment, she felt that her mind was empty, so she could only reply in a stumbling manner: "Zhuyuanyurun is a good word, I praise your whole family!"

However, King Zhao laughed.

He slowly took half a step forward, while Xiao Zhiyun retreated in panic.

Unexpectedly, King Zhao took another half step, so she had no choice but to retreat again and again.

After Zhao Wang stopped, he said in a normal tone: "If you want to give me something, you should give it yourself. How can there be any reason to borrow someone else's hand?"

"He's my brother..." Xiao Zhiyun was about to defend himself, but was interrupted by King Zhao.

"Your Majesty is coming soon, you should return to the palace to wait as soon as possible, so as not to lose your dignity." He whispered.

This made Xiao Zhiyun feel relieved, she quickly bowed her knees, turned around and left.

As soon as he was seated at the table, His Majesty arrived as expected.

She hid in the crowd and knelt down to pay homage with everyone. His Majesty sat down firmly and avoided everyone's ceremony, so she got up and took the seat together.

"Where are the people from Shanhe?" The old emperor scanned around the hall and looked at Princess Gaomi, "It's rare that he took the initiative to organize a banquet, why is he missing?"

Princess Gaomi lowered her eyes slightly, then smiled and wanted to answer.

"Father, my son is late." Zhao Wang stepped into the hall to greet him.

The old emperor smiled and waved, "Come to my side, I have something to announce today."

When King Zhao walked towards the old emperor, Xiao Zhiyun had a jade tablet stuffed in her hand. She looked sideways at Lord Qing, but found that her brother didn't look at her.

But she doesn't need to say anything, she knows what's going on.

It must be Lord Qing who failed to return the jade token for her.

It seems that if she wants to return the jade tablet, she has to deal with King Zhao in person.

At this time, King Zhao had already stood beside the old emperor.

After the old emperor looked at him a few times, he said solemnly: "I agreed to what you discussed with me earlier."

After finishing speaking, the old emperor ordered the servants beside him: "I passed on my oral order to appoint King Zhao as the crown prince, and on my behalf, I went to the Chayanhai Plain to crusade against the tribes in the southern border."

King Zhao knelt down upon hearing the words, "I would like to obey your Majesty's instructions."

"If you are better than your older brothers, when you come back from victory, I will make up the Prince's Grand Ceremony for you."

 Why is our Prince Zhao a walking router?Because he is the hero?No, it's not.

  Probably because he was willing to help others, when he was helping to find Gu Yun, it happened that Yun fell from the sky, and he was the closest to Xianyun, so...
