After tidying up his clothes and retying his hair, the carriage from the palace was already waiting outside the gate of Yunfu.

Qianqiu took a pen to the mirror and drew hard under his eyes.

Qianqiu recalled the map sent by Qi Beisheng and the location of the jade seal for the last time, and he was relieved to be sure that he knew it by heart.Standing aside, Yun Shen saw that he was quite nervous, so he comforted him, "Don't panic..."

"Yeah." Qianqiu took a few deep breaths uncertainly, "But I'm really a little flustered. I want to steal the jade seal for the first time entering the palace, but for the sake of Xiuxiu, I'm willing."

"Does Qianqiu know why I did this?"

Qian Qiu shook her head: "I don't know, but I know you must have a good reason for doing this."

"I don't know how the previous dynasty stirred up. But I know that if Shen Yue really wants to take the general order talisman, then he will definitely have to bring down the entire Yunfu..."

Yun Shen looked calm, "I observed Qi Beizhao's expression, and I knew his purpose was not simple. He and Shen Yue seemed to be in harmony, but in fact there was a crack. I guess, if Shen Yue hadn't made too much noise, Qi Beizhao would have You won’t announce me into the palace easily.”

"Then why haven't we heard any public opinion?"

"I don't know..." Yun Shen raised his hand and held Qianqiu's collar, "Let's go..."

The carriage gradually drove towards the palace.Qianqiu lifted the curtain and looked at the bright yellow palace gradually approaching, feeling nervous again.He swallowed his saliva, moved to Yun Shen's side, and whispered, "Yun Shen, can you give me a hug."

Yun Shen opened his eyes, and a trace of surprise flashed in them.

Qianqiu said awkwardly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just a little nervous. Do you still remember that I got into trouble before, and you would give me a hug when I was going to admit my mistake in front of the general?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Shen suddenly pulled him into his arms.Qian Qiu was taken aback for a moment, and then showed his face contentedly.

Then he heard Yun Shen's voice softly above his head: "How old is he?"

Qianqiu thought, it would be good to stay by his side for the rest of his life with such an identity and such a method.

The carriage stopped, and the two of them got off, and saw the palace servants waiting at the side: "My lords, this way please."

Qianqiu followed Yun Shen, looking at him with eyes pretending to be amazed.

Several palace people only said that it was his first time to come to the palace and they just made a fuss about the luxurious decorations in the palace, so they didn't take it to heart.

Qianqiu secretly noted down the characteristics along the way.

The palace guards led them all the way to the side hall of the Jiahe Hall: "You two, please wait for a while before you can enter."

Yun Shen saluted: "Thank you..."

After waiting for the person to leave, Qianqiu touched Yun Shen and said silently: "Yun Shen, we should be in the west of the palace now. But that thing is in the imperial study, in the palace, quite far away."

Yun Shen watched Qianqiu's mouth opening and closing, and nodded: "Since we're here, Qianqiu can feel relieved. Why don't you rest for a while and wait for the banquet to begin. There are many delicacies at the banquet, so Qianqiu will be lucky."

"Okay." Qianqiu understood Yun Shen's meaning.

They had to talk like this, although they didn't know if the walls had ears, but when they entered the palace, they had to be extremely vigilant.

Qianqiu calculated the distance in his mind. According to the map, the Jiahe Hall is located between the Imperial Study Room and the westernmost Lingxuan, and if he wants to reach the Imperial Study Room, he needs to cross four palaces, which is really not easy.

What the palace man said to wait for a while really meant to wait for a while, Qianqiu just sat down when someone pushed the door: "Young masters, please."

Yun Shen and Qian Qiu entered through the side door of the Hall of Harmony and were seated at the last table.They are not important ministers, nor are they relatives of the emperor, so naturally they can only sit in the last seat.But it just facilitated their communication.

Before coming, the two of them had written down the list and portraits provided by Qi Beisheng to prevent any accidents.

Qian Qiu looked over one by one, except for Master Mu and Shen Yue, none of them knew each other.Looking at the back of Shen Yue who was sitting in the second row, he took a deep breath.

Shen Yue seemed to have noticed something, looked back, and then showed a provocative smile.

Yun Shen said secretly: "Don't bother with him."

"Um……"

They are on the right side.There are four positions on the first side, namely Chu Changli, Chu Xueyi, Qi Beisheng, and Qi Beizhe.

There are five positions in the second row and the third row, all of which are important ministers.In the end, Yunshen and Qianqiu were excluded, and the rest belonged to the envoys of Chu State.

On the left is the position of the concubines.Since Qi Beizhao had just ascended the throne, there were not many beauties in the harem, so the seats were relatively sparse.

At this kind of big banquet, all personal grievances should be put aside for the time being, and it is best to show your demeanor first.

Therefore, not only Qi Beisheng, but even Qi Beizhe, who Qianqiu had only seen in white brocade, also changed into formal clothes.The sitting posture is not crooked, but upright.

Qianqiu's eyes touched Chu Xueyi's gentle back, feeling uncomfortable in her heart——

She met him again and again, returned his jade pendant, and there were rumors that she was going to be engaged to Yun Shen, and she didn't know how to describe this feeling.

He saw Chu Changli at the side again, and he felt a sense of arrogance just from the back view, and Qianqiu's heart became inexplicably more complicated.

Qi Beizhao came in last, and everyone stood up unanimously: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Qianqiu opened his mouth to make a show, and turned his head to look, only to find that Yun Shen didn't even put on a show.

The farewell banquet is no different from the usual banquet.

Qian Qiu looked at the precious delicacies presented one after another, without any appetite.Compared with the food here, he misses the food cooked by the cook in Yunfu even more.

He didn't care to listen to what Qi Beizhao was saying.But he was named unexpectedly.

"This is Yunshen, whose name is Hanzhi." Qi Beizhao said, "He has read a lot of books at a young age, is indifferent to fame and wealth, and has a high integrity. He is my talent!"

Yun Shen Shi Shiran stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Chu Changli said coldly: "Is this your younger brother next to you? What's your name?"

Qianqiu stood up, bowed his head and said, "Yes. The grassroots name is Qianqiu, and he is Yun Shen's younger brother."

Chu Changli seemed to be looking at it carefully: "Qianqiu? Why isn't your surname Yun?"

"Go back to Emperor Chu, because I have no blood relationship with Yun Shen."

Chu Changli raised his eyebrows, excitedly: "Oh? Then tell me, since there is no blood relationship, how can you live in the same house as brothers?"

"Because Yunshen saw that Qianqiu was lonely and pitiful, he brought the grass people back to Yunfu." Because of nervousness, Qianqiu's voice trembled slightly.

Chu Changli said: "It turns out that you were adopted."

He turned to Chu Xueyi: "My Royal Sister, I originally wanted to find a good husband for you, but I didn't know that Yun Hanzhi was still keeping his filial piety. Although this Qianqiu is not from Yunfu, he doesn't have to keep filial piety, but he has no official position." If you are engaged to him, Brother Huang, don’t worry about it.”

Such a thing was actually said so easily!Qianqiu was angry from the heart, and secretly scolded Chu Changli as a beast in his heart;

Chu Xueyi said coldly: "Thank you, Brother Huang, for your kindness."

Qi Beisheng suddenly said: "Isn't it wrong for Emperor Chu to do this? Princess Rongmeng is a girl after all. I'm afraid it's not good to openly talk about the princess's marriage in front of so many Qi people at the banquet?"

Chu Changli smiled nonchalantly: "You don't want to listen. Everyone knows that I came to Qi to choose a good husband for my sister. Since it is well known, what's wrong with it?"

He called the word "Zhen" decisively, and Qi Beizhao's expression turned ugly.

The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly changed.Qian Qiu watched secretly, guessing what would happen next.

Unexpectedly, it was Chu Xueyi who spoke first: "Since tonight is a farewell banquet, can I let the princess perform a dance?"

Qi Beizhao said: "The most beautiful woman in the world is willing to take the initiative to dance, and I can't ask for it. I believe that all lovers want to see the dance of the world's most beautiful woman, please, princess."

Chu Xue stood up gracefully, saluted, and walked to the center of the hall.

The envoys next to Qianqiu also took the place of the luthier and musician.

The music sounded, and the opening chapter was a broad momentum.

What Chu Xueyi danced was the dance of Chu State, which was called "Cold Mountains Far Away".Qianqiu heard the tune of "Han Shanyuan" when he was very young, and thought that he had almost forgotten it now, but unexpectedly Qianqiu recalled the tune together.

Chu Xueyi looked forward to Shenfei, totally intoxicated by the dance.She has an excellent figure, and she dances extremely beautifully. She not only has the euphemism unique to women in the south of the Yangtze River, but also has the unique openness of Chu in the north, which made everyone present amazed and praised.

In Qianqiu's mind, there are still words written according to this tune in the past - "The cold mountain enters the river mist, and the tourists go to look at the beauty alone, and they don't know where to return. For a long time, I still remember these.

Just remember so what?Chu State is no longer his hometown for him.

After dancing to a song, Qi Bei Zheshen said: "The princess is good at dancing."

Chu Xueyi narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Thank you, Prince An, for your compliment."

Her dance revived the atmosphere of the banquet.The few concubines present here are also eager to try, and they have temporarily forgotten what happened before.

After a while, Qianqiu became anxious, kept looking at Yun Shen, and said with a voice of only two people: "Yun Shen, when will you do it?"

Yun Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Don't worry." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Chu Changli calling his name again.

Qian Qiu cursed anxiously in his heart: Sure enough, Chu Changli is the biggest unstable factor, compared to him, what is Shen Yue? !

Yun Shen walked towards the center of the hall with a calm and indifferent expression.

Chu Changli stood up and said: "Everyone here knows that Mr. Yun Hanzhi is the most talented man in the world, and Rong Meng is the most talented woman in the world. Here I also want to ask the emperor of Qi to be a witness for my My sister is engaged!"

Qian Qiu suddenly clenched his fists.

Qi Beisheng stood up and said, "Absurd! How could Yun Shen make a marriage contract with the princess while he was still observing his filial piety!"

"The marriage contract can be uncertain, but I have already said it here, I believe that no other woman would dare to be engaged to Mr. Yun, right?" Chu Changli smiled sinisterly, "Besides, Shouxiao, you still come to this banquet?"

Yun Shen said without any surprise or fear: "The Emperor Chu asked, and the grassroots had to come."

"It's the same. I asked you to make an engagement with Rong Meng, and you have to."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Qi Beizhe suddenly said: "Brother Huang, I suddenly feel uncomfortable, can you go back first?"

Qi Beizhao said: "Third brother go back first, you are not in good health, rest more."

Qi Beizhe was helped up by the servant: "The younger brother will retire first. By the way, Qianqiu, didn't you say you want the calligraphy that Mr. Yun gave me last time? Let's go and have a look together."

Qian Qiu glanced at Yun Shen, who nodded slightly: "Yes..."

As soon as they came out, the two had a tacit understanding, they parted ways without asking or exhorting anything.

Qianqiu Qinggong is good, but he is worried about Yun Shen's situation in his heart.He desperately tried to calm himself down. He looked up and saw a lonely moon hanging in the sky.

The journey went very smoothly, because of the banquet, more than half of the officers and soldiers were evacuated, and when Qian Qiu was about to climb over the last palace, someone behind him suddenly shouted: "Who is it!"

His heart immediately missed a beat, his foot slipped, and he fell!

Qian Qiu was shocked, but was suddenly pulled and flew to a place.

"Who!"

The man shouted: "Don't make noise!"
