Chapter 3: Questions at the Palace Banquet, Incense Offerings

It took a long time for the Ling family to start moving. Several young ladies got out of the car and supported each other as they walked into the palace gate.

Ling Xiao looked up at the imperial palace. The tall and majestic buildings displayed the glory of a prosperous era.

The girls of the Ling family were dazzled, and the eldest daughter Ling Hua couldn't wait to step into the palace.

On the contrary, Ling Xin's fingers were trembling nervously.

Can this demon pass through the palace gate?

The imperial palace in the capital is the best place, and I have never heard of any incidents of demons harming people, so it should be protected.

If the demon disguised as a girl from the Ling family revealed her true form in public, the Ling family would be finished.

As the daughter of the Ling family, she won't have a good ending!

She was smart and figured it out quickly. Ling Xin's face turned so pale that she looked almost dead.

Suddenly, she gritted her teeth, walked quickly forward and took Ling Xiao's hand. She didn't know if it was because of fear or something else, but the cold touch in her hand made Ling Xin shiver all over.

Ling Xiao, who was attacked, had a face full of question marks, and raised his little face to look dazed and cute.

"Hold me, you can cover it up."

After Ling Xin finished speaking, she lowered her head and did not dare to stop. She pulled Ling Xiao and walked forward, bumping into Miss Ling Hua on the way.

After walking through the palace gate, everything was fine. Ling Xiaosong and Ling Xin just held his hand.

Strangely whispered, "People are really weird sometimes."

The system had no idea what was wrong with her. It just turned over like a dead salted fish and ignored her.

The palace banquet officially began, and the dignitaries and the emperor came and went, chatting and laughing.

As members of the Ling family were minor officials, their seats were close to the palace gate, so if they didn't take the initiative, they would get nothing.

Everyone had their own thoughts and went looking for opportunities, only Ling Xin and Ling Xiao remained in their seats.

Ling Xiao watched the singing and dancing with great interest, and even gestured with his hands and feet. The others just smiled knowingly.

The cute girl stretched out her little hands and danced, her clumsy look was so adorable.

In secret, the system was already screaming in fear, "What are you doing! Stop it now..."

Strands of hair that are invisible to the naked eye extend out like a spider's web, densely covering the entire hall.

Seeing that the little system was about to cry, Ling Xiao stopped, thinking that what needed to be done had been done.

Ling Xiao said indifferently, "Don't worry, I'm just trying to be the favorite in the harem."

"If you want to be the most favored in the harem, go seduce the emperor! Are you trying to act in a horror movie by covering the entire palace with your hair?"

He no longer has the elite system he once had, and his throat almost breaks after shouting out a single word.

Ling Xiao twisted a strand of black hair with her fingers, lowering her eyelashes. "Shut up and take a good look at how I am the most favored concubine in the harem."

The last note rises straight up, like the tail of a poisonous scorpion carrying a sharp poison!

The emperor stood up on the high platform and raised his glass. The lively banquet instantly became quiet.

"My dear ministers, since I ascended the throne... I am very happy to have defeated the southern barbarians today. I just offered sacrifices to my ancestors, and the smoke rose straight up. I'm sure my ancestors were moved..."

The ministers in the audience were shaking with excitement, and each of them raised their sleeves to wipe their tears, looking very moved.

The ministers all cooperated so well, Li Yue also spoke enthusiastically, the emperor and his ministers were in harmony, and the atmosphere in the venue reached a climax.

Some people were afraid that it might not be lively enough, so they asked the captured Human Khan to change into a red robe.

Her face was thickly powdered and her blush was as red as a monkey's butt, and she appeared like a dwarf clown telling jokes in the palace.

Li Yue couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and pointed at Zhuo Qi, the Minister of Honglu Temple, and said, "You are such a mischievous ghost!"

Even so, everyone could see that the emperor didn't care. Zhuo Qi shrugged and said, "It is a great honor for this barbarian to have your majesty smile."

As the Nanman Khan began to dance, the atmosphere reached its climax. Ling Xin gradually relaxed and reached out to pour a glass of Qingsu wine.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw the demon leave his seat.

Good luck!

At the magnificent banquet with singing and dancing, the figure of the little girl walking to the center did not attract attention at first.

But people always noticed that when the palace maids wanted to pull her down, she fell to the side without even touching the corner of her clothes.

Slowly, Ling Xiao finally walked to the center of the banquet.

Li Yue was not blind. When he saw a little girl standing in front of him, he did not frown at all but smiled brightly.

"Whose girl is this? Why is she here?"

Others also noticed the little girl under the emperor's platform.

The light red top is matched with a moon-white skirt. The material is not used by palace maids, so it must be the work of a young lady from some family.

However, he didn't have many accessories and they were not of high value, so he must not be from a prominent family.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering which family was so bold.

Ling Xiao tilted her head slightly. In Li Yue's vision, her big eyes were dark. She looked at him and suddenly said:

"You said you offered sacrifices to your ancestors, but why didn't I receive any incense?"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.

Xu Shangshu, an old minister of two dynasties, was so angry that his beard trembled, pointing at Ling Xiao and yelling:

"You are so rude! You dare to blaspheme the royal ancestors! Your crime is unforgivable!"

He stepped forward quickly, and seeing the unstoppable momentum, no one doubted how Minister Xu would safeguard the dignity of the dynasty.

Not only will the girl suffer, but her family will also be condemned.

Minister Xu took the lead in attacking, and the others were also eager to try. The guards standing around with knives all drew their knives.

No one noticed how horrified the humble official and his family who were near the palace gate were.

"Okay, it's just a little girl"

Suddenly a calm voice was heard, and Minister Xu's beard stopped shaking. His expression quickly returned to calm, and he stopped as if nothing had happened.

Everyone looked towards the podium. The young emperor stood up and patted the hand of the angry queen beside him.

He walked down the stairs slowly, step by step closer to Ling Xiao. The eunuch beside him made a gesture of resistance, but the emperor brushed him away lightly and he lowered his head without moving.

Seeing this person getting closer and closer, Ling Xiao showed no fear at all and instead chuckled softly.

At this time, the singing and dancing in the hall had stopped at some point, and people were no longer toasting each other over cups and chatting, so much so that one could hear a pin drop.

The girl's laughter could be heard from far away.

The emperor squatted down and looked at her seriously and said:

"You are still young and ignorant, and you don't know the consequences of talking nonsense. As my subject, I can forgive you, but don't do it again in the future."

This short sentence showed the emperor's broad mind. Empress Wen on the stage's eyes lit up. This was the man she admired.

It is inevitable that the ministers will be frustrated by this. An emperor with a broad mind is always better than a narrow-minded one.

With this in mind, they became more tolerant of Ling Xiao's nonsense. That's fine, for His Majesty's sake.

The unknown patriarch of the Ling family let out a long breath, and his red face returned to normal. His colleagues around him looked at him in surprise.

It was so scary. I thought that evil girl would bring harm to the whole family. Fortunately, Your Majesty is so magnanimous.

"When that bastard comes back, I'm going to sell her to a brothel, and then..."

Ling Hua had been frightened just now, and now that he had come to his senses, he instantly became angry and kept spitting out all the dirty things in his mouth.

The person being scolded was his own daughter, but the head of the Ling family felt relieved. However, due to the loss of face, he could not agree with her, but he agreed in his heart.

We can't let this evil girl off easily!

Ling Xin gave a bitter smile and looked at her father and elder sister, thinking, "It's good that she didn't kill you. She's a demon..."

The next second, Li Yue, who was about to ask the little girl to leave, opened his eyes wider and wider, as if he saw something incredible.

He saw the little girl's hair growing visibly longer, longer and longer, and in just a few seconds it fell to the ground.
