From Princess of the Cold Palace to Empress of Heaven

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince exterminated the evil cultivators. He had a great favor in Beiyang City and saved the life of a little girl. For such a great kindness, I will prepare a little courtesy. Please don't dislike him, Your Highness."

While speaking, several guards carried several large boxes and walked into the hall from the house.

After the guards retreated, Lin Zhengquan opened the boxes one by one. Immediately, the rays of the sun shot up, the mist rose, and a strong spiritual energy immediately permeated the entire hall.

"The city lord's gift, I'm afraid I can't bear it!"

The spiritual energy emitted by these boxes is probably far more than a thousand.

Lin Zhengquan said solemnly: "Your Highness has a great favor from Beiyang City, and mere spirit stones are naturally affordable. These five boxes of spirit stones each contain [-] pieces, totaling [-] pieces. Your Highness, please don't refuse."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang did not continue to decline, but accepted the Lingshi.

Next, Xiao Minghuang went to attend the reception banquet held by the City Lord's Mansion.

28. Would you please drink this cup for me?

The main hall of the City Lord's Mansion is brightly lit and filled with the sound of the piano.

Push the cup to change the cup, and the gong and chips are staggered.

Xiao Minghuang sat at the head, and Ye Ruoshui sat next to her.

"Where did Late Autumn go..."

Xiao Minghuang scanned the crowd at the banquet, but only saw a group of unfamiliar faces, but no trace of Lin Wanqiu.

Lin Zhengquan sat not far away, saw her looking around, and said with a smile:

"Your Highness is looking for a little girl?"

Being told what was on his mind, Xiao Minghuang looked calm as usual, but felt a little embarrassed in his heart. After all, Lin Zhengquan was Lin Wanqiu's father, and even though she was the princess, she couldn't ignore this relationship.

Xiao Minghuang didn't know how to answer, but just nodded lightly.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the little girl is coming soon."

While speaking, Lin Zhengquan knocked on the table three times, his voice was not loud, but full of rhythm, which seemed to be able to spread an extremely long distance.

With the sound of three voices, the sound of silk and bamboo in the banquet hall stopped abruptly, and all the lights were extinguished.

In addition to the officials of the City Lord's Mansion, the guests present also included members of the major families in Beiyang City, but they all did not know why.

But in the next moment.

In the center of the hall, a pearly light suddenly lit up, and it expanded rapidly, illuminating a ten-foot radius.

Under the bright pearl, a touch of delicate red was revealed.

The woman was wearing a bright red dress, her skin was creamy, her skin was as delicate as fire, her eyes were like autumn water, her smile was sweet, her beauty was shocking and unforgettable.

That pair of bright eyes stared straight at Xiao Minghuang who was sitting on the first seat.

Perhaps it was because everyone was in the dark, Lin Wanqiu's eyes fluctuated without anyone noticing.

Moreover, her appearance was so amazing that everyone's attention was focused on her magnificent beauty and peerless demeanor, but it was difficult to pay attention to the small eyes.

All the guests present were almost all famous figures in Beiyang City. They had a close relationship with the City Lord's Mansion. It could be said that they grew up watching Lin Wanqiu.

They suddenly discovered that the taciturn little girl in the past had now turned into such a peerless beauty.

An old man with gray hair sighed:

"If I have a son under my knees, even if I spend all my family's wealth, I will hire Miss Lin as my daughter-in-law."

A lady glanced at her own daughter, knowing that she was not as good as she was, and said disappointedly:

"If my daughter had half the looks of Miss Lin, she wouldn't be in her thirties and no one would come to propose marriage."

The elders lamented the transfer, and the younger generation couldn't sit still and started talking about it.

"I haven't seen you in a few months, why is Miss Lin so beautiful all of a sudden?"

"Could it be because he took the beauty pill? Lin Chengzhu's family has a big business, and it doesn't cost much to buy a beauty pill for his daughter."

"Brother Liu is really good at joking, how can the beauty pill have such a powerful effect, this is almost a different person."

"Everyone, is there a possibility, I mean possibility, that Miss Lin is so glamorous, it's just that we haven't discovered it before."

Amidst the whispers, the pearl light gradually lit up, expanding to the entire hall, and the brightness returned to where the eyes could see.

Everyone's eyes were still focused on Lin Wanqiu, as if they were still thinking about why Miss Lin, who looked ordinary in the past, suddenly became so beautiful.

Lin Zhengquan glanced at the leader, seeing Xiao Minghuang's admiring gaze, his pupils showed a hint of satisfaction.

"Late autumn, don't pour wine for His Highness yet."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqiu nodded slightly, and walked to Xiao Minghuang's side in small steps.

Seeing Lin Wanqiu walking in front of her in a delicate dress, even Xiao Minghuang couldn't help showing a look of amazement.

She grew up so big, except for herself, she had never seen such a beautiful woman.

Lin Wanqiu wore a red dress, and her magnificent and prosperous face was completely engraved in her mind, and she would never forget it in her lifetime.

At this time, such a stunning beauty had eyes full of tenderness, staring at Xiao Minghuang without blinking.

Being watched by such gazes, even though Xiao Minghuang was used to seeing wind and rain and experienced many battles, she couldn't help but blushed a little, and a vision arose in her heart.

"Strange, why do I feel hot in my body?"

She calmed down the heat in her heart, and then thought:

"Perhaps the contracted Lin Wanqiu is also good. She was born with clogged meridians. It's so pitiful. I must help her."

While thinking about it, Xiao Minghuang showed a soft smile on his face, his brows and eyes were curved, and his pink and rosy cheeks were no longer cold.

Perhaps it was this gaze that encouraged Lin Wanqiu, giving her the courage to continue raising her glass and bowing forward.

At this time, Ye Ruoshui, who was standing behind Xiao Minghuang, was full of confusion and panic on her small face, and seemed to be saying:

"Your Highness said that I am the most important person in her heart...it must be like this...it must be..."

Lin Wanqiu bent slightly and poured Xiao Minghuang half a glass of wine.

Xiao Minghuang didn't drink the wine, but picked up the wine glass and said in a warm voice:

"Would you like to drink this cup for me in late autumn?"

For some reason, she especially wanted to take a look at this peerless beauty who was slightly drunk.

Lin Wanqiu's pink cheeks were slightly red, she reached out her small hand to take the wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.

After warming the wine, Lin Wanqiu's snow-white pretty face became more and more rosy, making her appear delicate and delicious.

Not far away, Lin Zhengquan smiled slightly, compared Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu, and secretly said happily:

"How can a mere maid be compared with my daughter? I believe it won't be long before Wan Qiu firmly grasps His Highness's heart. By then, I will have a backer in Beiyang City."

Ever since the death of the old Beiyang city lord, he suffered from a hidden illness and was unable to break through the Divine Sea Realm. The imperial court had long intended to withdraw the Lin family back to the capital. If they could not find a backer in the imperial court, the day of the Lin family's downfall would not be far away.

"Lan Qiu, sit next to His Highness!"

While speaking, Lin Zhengquan looked at Xiao Minghuang, as if he was asking for her opinion.

Xiao Minghuang naturally had no objection to this, and nodded.

The fragrant wind floats, and the beautiful shadow flutters.

Lin Wanqiu sat beside Xiao Minghuang gracefully and gracefully, looking at her with gentle eyes.

After an afternoon of thinking, she has made a decision.

Even though the little maid next to Xiao Minghuang looked very difficult to deal with, she would never give up!

This is not only for the benefit of the family, but also for her own feelings.

Perhaps in that dark cave, when she first met Xiao Minghuang, she had already fallen in love with him.

People in the world may not believe that there is such a thing as love at first sight, but Lin Wanqiu knows that it is because they have never met such a peerless person like Xiao Minghuang.

"We were married on our fingertips, and we met when we were strangers. This is a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven!"

Lin Wanqiu thought so.

Next, Lin Wanqiu kept pouring wine for Xiao Minghuang, Xiao Minghuang didn't refuse, and drank it all, and poured wine for her from time to time.

Not long after, both of them had flushed pink cheeks, were slightly drunk, and their eyes were moist and blurred.

Before you know it, the moon is high and the night is past halfway.

Perhaps because of drinking too much wine, even the warrior's body couldn't bear it, so many guests stood up and said goodbye staggeringly.

Xiao Minghuang, who was seated at the top, was also drank a lot of wine, and leaned limply on Lin Wanqiu's body, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was half asleep.

Behind them, Ye Ruoshui looked at the two snuggling together from time to time, his eyes were full of confusion, and his heart felt irritated for no reason.

"Your Highness said that I am the most important person in her heart. I should trust Your Highness! Trust Your Highness!"

29. Proposing marriage in public, the Chen family treacherous!

Under the stage, Lin Zhengquan was sending those drunk guests away.

Just when most of the guests are about to leave.

Suddenly, an old man with gray hair walked out of the banquet, his face was rosy, and he was drunk.

"Lin...Brother Lin!"

The old man raised his hand, pointed at Lin Zhengquan, shook his head and said:

"My brother and I have been friends for decades, today brother asks you something, you must agree, if you don't agree, you will look down on brother!"

The old man's voice was loud, waking up the dizzy people one after another. Even Xiao Minghuang, who was sitting on the first seat, gradually regained consciousness and raised his eyes to look over.

Lin Zhengquan frowned slightly, feeling a little displeased.

The drunken old man is one of the four major families in Beiyang City, the Chen family. The head of the family is the eighth layer of Yongquan, second only to him in strength.

On weekdays, he respects Patriarch Chen three-pointed, commensurate with Patriarch Chen's brother.

"His Royal Highness Nine is here today, I hope this guy won't make trouble for me."

While thinking, Lin Zhengquan used his spiritual power to force the wine out of his body, exhaled a mouthful of foul air, got up and said with a smile:

"Brothers are a little tired today. Brother Chen, can you talk about it tomorrow? As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!"

"What tomorrow?!" Patriarch Chen slapped the table, his neck flushed, and he yelled: "Today, I want you to say a word, my brother has something to ask you, can you do it?!"

Hearing this, everyone present gasped and whispered:

"What's wrong with Patriarch Chen, the Ninth Princess is so presumptuous in front of her?"

"Jiu Zhuang is timid, it depends on what Patriarch Chen will say next, I hope it will not be too much, otherwise today's matter may not be good."

Lin Zhengquan didn't respond, his face was cloudy, hesitating whether to drive this drunk maniac out of the banquet.

In the first place, Xiao Minghuang was also awakened by the din, and looked at the person standing in the center of the hall, yelling loudly.

"This person is Patriarch Chen?"

She remembered that in the storage bag of Xie Xiu, there was a stack of letter paper, which recorded the interests of Xie Xiu and Patriarch Chen.

In the name of Patriarch Chen, the evil cultivators plundered and killed mortals to extract the power of Qi and blood for Patriarch Chen to practice evil arts, and also acted as a middleman between Patriarch Chen and Jin Xiangguo, making it easier for Patriarch Chen to communicate with foreign countries and gain benefits.

Just as Xiao Minghuang was thinking.

Patriarch Chen waved his hand and shouted:

"Yu'er, take out that elixir and let Lin Shibo have a look."

The voice fell.

A young man walked out from behind him. He looked to be in his thirties, with a fat head and big ears, and an ugly appearance. From time to time, he cast his eyes on Lin Wanqiu who was sitting in the first place, with a trace of greed in his eyes.

Lin Zhengquan looked at the young man and asked:

"I know you. You are Chen Yu, the son of Patriarch Chen. What's the matter?"

Hearing that Lin Zhengquan knew him, Chen Yu's face showed joy, and he took out a brocade box from his sleeve like offering a treasure, and presented it to the other party.

"My nephew heard that Miss Lin was born with clogged meridians and her cultivation was difficult. My nephew and Miss Lin were childhood sweethearts since childhood, so my heart aches very much."
