Chapter 201
There are many people in the palace with mixed eyes. As for the incident of Xie Zhaozhao beating the mastiff to death that happened half an hour ago, most people in Nuan Pavilion are now aware of it.

The mastiff is Yunshan's favorite pet, and Yunshan is the apple of King Liang's eye.

Even if he tortured and killed the royal concubine, Prince Liang did not say a single word to Yun Shan.

It can be seen that he dotes on his daughter without any bottom line.

Xie Zhaozhao not only killed the mastiff, but also made Yunshan fall ill, which completely offended King Liang.

Now that the entire Xie family has been deposed, only Xie Zhaozhao is staying in the capital, and he still doesn't know how the Liang King will take revenge.

Moreover, Chen Shulan also came to attend the banquet today.

Marquis Pingzhang has been in Beijing for many days. This time, I am afraid that the marriage between the Chen family and the emperor's eldest grandson will be finalized.

The matter between Xie Zhaozhao and Chu Nanxuan caused a stir in the city.

After years of entanglement with Yun Qi, if Yun Qi and the Chen family get married, there will be nothing to worry about with Xie Zhaozhao.

She is now over [-] years old, and her marriage is not going well. She has suffered two incidents like Yun Qi and Chu Nanxuan. I am afraid that no young man in the capital will dare to marry her in the future.

There really is no future for me in the future.

Everyone understood this tacitly, and looked at Xie Zhaozhao with rather pitiful eyes.

Xie Zhaozhao turned a blind eye and stepped forward to meet Concubine Xian.

"Are you all settled?" Concubine Xian waved with a smile, "Come to Zhaozhao and sit next to me."

"Yes."

Xie Zhaozhao walked to Concubine Xian.

Everyone continued to talk and laugh, but they couldn't help but stare at the situation here, secretly guessing why Concubine Xian praised Xie Zhaozhao so much.

Concubine Xian is the person in the harem who is most trusted by Emperor Xuanwu, and her actions represent the emperor's wishes.

So...does the emperor also intend to promote Xie Zhaozhao?

Yes, Xie Zhaozhao saved the prince some time ago at Guanmei Mountain.

Everyone knows the prince's status in the emperor's heart.

Everyone couldn't help but wait and see again about Xie Zhaozhao's matter.

Perhaps the Holy One has other plans for Xie Zhaozhao.

I just don’t know what the arrangement is.

This emperor's heart is truly unpredictable.

Chen Shulan sat opposite Xie Zhaozhao. When their eyes met, they both nodded slightly as a greeting.

After drinking tea and chatting in Nuange for a while, it was almost time and a group of female relatives followed Xie Zhaozhao and Concubine Xian to the Yinghua Hall for the banquet.

The seating arrangement was arranged in advance by the palace.

Xie Zhaozhao was actually seated next to Concubine Xian at today's banquet, together with Princess Anyang.

And Chen Shulan is behind Concubine Xian.

This is indeed a clear promotion.

Everyone looked at it with different thoughts.

Xie Zhaozhao thought that it was the secret communication between Pingzhang Hou and Liang Wang that aroused Emperor Xuanwu's anger.

That's why the banquet was arranged like this, taking the opportunity to sound a warning.

It's just that... birds of a feather flock together, and if Pingzhanghou had stayed on his own and not been so ambitious, he wouldn't have gotten into trouble with King Liang.

I'm afraid such warnings are of no use.

I was even pushed to the forefront of this storm.

Xie Zhaozhao took a breath and sat upright, his face elegant and calm.

After a while, the Crown Prince, Prince Liang, Yun Qi and hundreds of civil and military officials arrived at the Yinghua Hall surrounded by Emperor Xuanwu.

The whole hall knelt on the ground and shouted long live the mountain.

"Sit down." Emperor Xuanwu said calmly: "There is no need to be formal at today's palace banquet. Please be more casual."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone took their seats in an orderly manner.

As soon as Xie Zhaozhao sat down, he felt a line of sight as sharp as a blade cutting into him.

She raised her eyes and met the eyes of King Liang diagonally across from her.

King Liang had a sneer on his face, and the sharp light in his eyes seemed to stun Xie Zhaozhao.Xie Zhaozhao smiled back, calmly.

King Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xie Zhaozhao lazily.

King Liang has been stationed in Youyun Sixteen Provinces for many years. As the most powerful vassal king, he is cruel and cruel. He likes beauty but is not greedy for beauty. He is also picky about women.

Xie Zhaozhao does have a good face, with delicate facial features, and she is definitely a beauty.

If she were a well-behaved lady in someone else's house, then she might have some thoughts.

But she was entangled with Chu Nanxuan and Yun Qi.

This made King Liang disgusted in his heart.

Such a woman is undoubtedly dirty to him.

He didn't even bother to take a second look.

But at this moment, seeing that she could still smile without changing her expression in the face of such a cold and gloomy gaze from him, a flash of interest flashed through Prince Liang's heart.

Maybe there really is something unusual about this woman.

Otherwise, that boy Yun Qi wouldn't keep pestering him.

The obedient and gentle woman actually didn't mean much. The rose in front of her that seemed quiet and indifferent, but actually had thorns, caught the attention of Prince Liang at this moment.

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyes and drank tea without any special reaction.

Yun Qi, who was sitting on the other side of King Liang, noticed the subtle changes in King Liang's eyes.

A cold light flashed across Yun Qi's eyes.

He raised his glass and said, "Uncle Three Emperors, please."

Prince Liang turned around and met Yun Qi's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the two men had already fought countless times.

Halfway through the banquet, Emperor Xuanwu said: "Xie Zhaozhao, come to the front and speak."

"Yes."

Xie Zhaozhao stood up and sat down on his knees five steps away from Emperor Xuanwu.

Emperor Xuanwu looked at her.

The other people at the party also looked at her.

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyes, his back was straight and dignified, he was calm and generous, and there was no trace of nervousness or panic.

"You were instrumental in rescuing the prince at Guanmei Mountain." Emperor Xuanwu asked with a kind smile, "Loyalty is truly rare, but what reward do you want?"

Xie Zhaozhao said: "As a citizen of the Qin Dynasty, when I learned that the prince was in danger, it was only natural for me to go to rescue him and I did not dare to ask for a reward."

"Sure enough, she is the daughter taught by Xie Wei, so sensible."

Emperor Xuanwu smiled and said: "But I have always made clear rewards and punishments. You have indeed deserved a reward, so think carefully about what you want."

Xie Zhaozhao secretly took a breath in his heart.

Thunder and rain are all grace.

If Emperor Xuanwu wanted to reward someone, she couldn't help but refuse.

Xie Zhaozhao knew very well that asking her what reward she wanted was actually just a test by Emperor Xuanwu. If she did not advance or retreat appropriately, the emperor would be dissatisfied.

Yun Qi, who was sitting not far away, also frowned slightly. He did not expect that Grandpa Huang would sneak out Xie Zhaozhao to beat him at such a grand banquet.

He was confused when he cared, so he couldn't help but want to speak.

The prince, who was sitting not far from Emperor Xuanwu, looked towards Yun Qi, with restraint in his calm and majestic eyes.

If Xie Zhaozhao wants Yun Qi to come forward for even this matter, then she is really not good enough to match Yun Qi.

Yun Qi paused and sat down silently.

Emperor Xuanwu asked calmly: "Have you thought about it?"

"Is any reward acceptable?"

Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyes, his beautiful eyes were clear and calm.

"Of course." Emperor Xuanwu smiled and said, "I am the emperor. If you ask, I will naturally allow you."

"Okay." Xie Zhaozhao said: "Your Majesty, today my daughter bumped into Princess Yunshan of Prince Liang's Mansion in the palace. I would like to ask Your Majesty to forgive my daughter's reckless crime. The merits and demerits will be equal to each other."
