Except for me, all my enemies have been reborn.

So far, the welcoming banquet has been peaceful, and no assassins have come to disrupt it.

It was incredibly calm. The eldest prince had gone through many hardships along the way, and even when he arrived at the door, his car was destroyed and he was killed due to a plot.

No one interfered at the banquet, which was not like the style of those old foxes.

Shang Shixu shook the wine glass in his hand, and a hint of aqua blue appeared in his eyes.

She was a very lively woman, with her black hair tied up in a bun, adorned with emerald butterfly hairpins.

When she passed by Shang Shixu, she could even hear the clinking of jade pendants on women's dresses.

The woman walked straight toward the emperor and bowed gracefully, with every move filled with tenderness and affection.

The emperor tried to pull the woman's hand with lustful eyes, and the woman did not try to hide.

Sitting aside under the emperor's force, she had bright eyes, white teeth, and her pupils were as clear as water. Her smile was worth more than a hundred flowers in the world.

Shang Shixu just felt that the dog emperor was not worthy of such a beautiful woman.

The emperor himself did not think so. He stopped the music boldly and introduced the woman next to everyone.

"My dear ministers, this is my newly appointed Imperial Consort Liu.

She is beautiful and has managed my harem in perfect order.

And her younger brother Liu Shaoying also made great contributions in the battle to drive out the southern barbarians.

I am very pleased to have such a talented person, hahahahahaha."

The ministers stood up to congratulate the emperor on his talent and praised him for his ability to select and appoint the right people.

Shang Shixu was observing Concubine Liu who was sitting next to the emperor.

Concubine Liu's family has gone through three dynasties.

But because there are no powerful people in the tribe, they are still weak.

Now there are two of them, one in the former court and one in the harem.

She is going to be the next Concubine Wang, but she should be more powerful than Concubine Wang.

The Wang family is full of civil officials, and the court is also full of the four of them.

Basically, he had no say, and it was only because of Concubine Wang that he was not kicked out of the central government.

The Liu family is different. Although the members of the previous dynasty did not have any great abilities,

But her brother Liu Shaoying was good at fighting, and the dog emperor had been displeased with those southern barbarians for a long time.

This time Liu Shaoying defeated the enemy and was rewarded when he returned.

Concubine Liu's strength should not be underestimated.

Shang Shixu looked towards the second princess, and they stared at each other for a long time.

The second princess shook her head slightly. Shang Shixu understood that Concubine Liu was not easy to deal with.

Everyone was so busy complimenting Concubine Liu that they forgot about the protagonist of the banquet tonight.

The Dog Emperor was also immersed in the warmth and softness of the beauty, and completely forgot about the eldest prince whom he had just praised so highly.

Shang Shixu originally thought that the eldest prince would at least try to regain the limelight.

But she saw that the eldest prince and Du Zesheng were toasting to each other even though they were thousands of miles apart.

He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, showing the deep friendship between the monarch and his subject.

Shang Shixu couldn't understand the eldest prince. Was he really a coward or was he still enduring and waiting for the opportunity?

Or maybe, he knew that the emperor could only choose him as the prince at the moment, so he didn't care about these little benefits.

The eldest prince seemed to notice Shang Shixu's gaze, and the two looked at each other.

Shang Shixu did not show any panic at being caught peeking.

Instead, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in front of the eldest prince.

It seemed as if he wanted to toast the eldest prince from the very beginning.

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows and looked at Shang Shixu with a smile.

After a while, he nodded slightly and drank the wine in the glass.

Unlike the undercurrent below, the emperor sitting on the throne excitedly drank one cup after another.

Concubine Liu raised her hand and pressed the emperor's wine glass, saying coquettishly: "Your Majesty, don't get drunk. If you hurt yourself, I will be very distressed~"

The emperor grabbed Concubine Liu's hand, and the two looked at each other lovingly.

Seeing this, everyone looked at the second princess at the same time.

The Queen hadn't woken up yet, so the Emperor held a welcoming banquet for the eldest prince.

How could she be so intimate with Concubine Liu at the welcoming banquet for the eldest prince?

After all, the eldest prince had also been in the Queen's arms.

The second princess still maintained the demeanor of a royal family, quietly sipping the tribute scented tea.

Everyone turned to the eldest prince, who was drinking with other ministers.

There was no sign of resentment, but the Third Prince and the Fourth Princess,

One of them was so angry that he knocked over the wine, and the other was taking his anger out on the servant.

At once, the difference between the two was clear. The royal family was most particular about appearance.

If you can't even learn the essential royal skill of mood swings, what's the point of being a leader?

Since everyone didn't see the fun they wanted to see, they all started doing their own things.

Shang Shixu saw that the time had come, so he left the banquet under the pretext of going to the toilet.

After a while, the second princess also left the banquet.

Away from the lively banquet, the eerie nighttime atmosphere of the palace becomes apparent.

Shang Shixu stood behind a hidden rockery, rubbing his arms with his hands.

I don’t know why, even though it’s summer, there’s a chilly wind here.

After waiting for a long time, the second princess finally arrived.

Shang Shixu saw her holding a bracelet that was broken into two pieces.

Puzzled, he asked her, "Why did Your Highness come so late? Your bracelet is broken. Did you encounter any danger on the way?"

The second princess shook the broken jade bracelet in her hand and smiled contemptuously: "I met that idiot Li Yuyan on the way.

She started by speaking rudely to my mother. How could a fallen princess like her have the right to bark in front of me?

I slapped her so hard that she fell down.

My hand also touched the tree next to me and it turned red!

Lord Shang, please show me how serious it is."

The second princess had tears in her eyes, like a wronged civet cat, licking her paws and asking her master to give her justice.

Shang Shixu took out a handkerchief from his bosom, put it on his hand, and then gently held the princess' hand.

I saw a red mark on the white jade-like skin.

This is not serious. I read the business sequence over and over again.

He could not find any serious wounds, so he asked the princess, "Second Prince, where are you injured?"

The second princess pouted and pointed at the red mark on her wrist and said unhappily, "Master Shang, don't you see? My wrist is all red. It hurts so much!"

Shang Shixu suddenly realized that she had always thought that an injury must at least have blood on it.

But she forgot that how could the nobles in the palace be the same as her?

She had been hiding from her aunt since she was a child, and when she grew up, she was involved in intrigues in the court.

She had suffered countless injuries, but she never cared about red marks like these.

After Shang Shixu figured it out, he took out three bottles of medicine from his arms.

"Second Prince, here are three bottles of golden wound medicine, which are very effective.

I will give you one bottle. As for the remaining two bottles, please give them to the eunuch who just gave you the note."

The second princess covered her mouth and chuckled, her ears blushing, and she asked expectantly, "Sir Shang, are you carrying medicine with you because you're worried that I might get hurt?"
