The emperor's birthday banquet was held in an open area outside the imperial garden. There were more than ten tables set up. The tables were full, but only one of them had three empty seats.

Xia Houran and Xia Houhuang were at the same table as the emperor and the queen. There were three empty seats at their table, and they also knew who belonged to these three seats.

Everyone knew who the three empty seats belonged to, but no one dared to have the slightest opinion and wait quietly.

Even the emperor has no objections, how dare they have any?

Princess Lianxiang sat next to Xia Houhuang. After waiting for a long time, no one from Mo Castle came, so she asked in a low voice: "Brother Qihuang, didn't you say that the people from Mo Castle have arrived? Why haven't you seen them yet?

"

"Who knows what they are doing, anyway, they have already entered the palace." Xia Houhuang replied angrily, but he did not dare to speak loudly and kept his voice very low. 13acv.

"Then, has Jimo Wuming come?" Princess Lianxiang continued to ask, with a hint of daughter's shyness on her face, clearly telling everyone that she was interested in Jimo Wuming.

Xia Houhuang knew that Princess Lianxiang liked Jimo Wuming, but he hated Jimo Wuming, so he didn't want his sister to like someone he hated, so he replied unhappily, "I don't know."

"If you don't know, you don't know. Why are you so cruel?"

Xia Houran sat next to the two of them and heard their whispered conversations, so he reminded them, "You two, be quiet. If you make my father unhappy, you will suffer the most."

As soon as these words came out, neither of them dared to say anything again.

Princess Lianxiang didn't ask any more questions and stretched her neck to look around, waiting for her sweetheart to appear.

At this moment, Jimo Wuming walked into the banquet first with the people carrying the birthday gifts. Jimo Wuxuan was behind, and Qian Diewu was naturally behind because the people she had to face were becoming more and more unusual. She

My heart became more and more nervous.

In front of you are the most powerful people in the world. These people can decide the life or death of an ordinary person with just one word. They are not easy to mess with!

Because it was a banquet, Jimo Wuming and Jimo Wuxuan only brought the four servants who carried the birthday gifts and Tiangang who pushed the wheelchair, and none of the other nursing homes came with them.

Jimo Wuming walked to the front, ignored the senior officials next to him, and directly presented a gift to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I wish you blessings like the East Sea and a life as long as the Southern Mountains. This is a birthday gift from our Mo Castle to you. I wonder if the Emperor likes it?"

After saying that, he pulled down the red cloth on the big Buddha, and a big Buddha made of gold appeared in front of everyone. The golden light was shining and extremely dazzling.

Seeing such a great gift, everyone was dumbfounded and stared straight at the Buddha. Even Qian Diewu was not included and was very surprised.

Oh my God, such a big golden Buddha statue is one meter high. How much gold does it take to build it?

One can imagine how amazing Mo Castle's financial resources are.

Seeing such a gift, the emperor laughed with satisfaction, "Haha...satisfied, so satisfied. It's really worthy of Mo Castle. It's a big move, haha..."

After the emperor finished laughing, he seemed to be afraid that the other party would regret it, so he immediately asked people to move the golden Buddha away, "Come here, accept the gift from the two castle masters."

"Yes." The four guards stepped forward and took the big Buddha from the servant's hands. However, they almost couldn't lift it and almost fell down.

As soon as the giant Buddha was moved away, everyone turned their attention to the woman next to Jimo Wuxuan, knowing who she was without asking.

Being stared at like this, Qian Diewu felt uncomfortable all over, but she had to hold back and maintain a good image, so as not to lose the face of Mo Castle.

After the guards carried the giant Buddha away, the emperor immediately said with a smile: "Don't stand here, sit down here and have a meal with me, come."

Because Jimo Wuxuan was in a wheelchair, the eunuch took away a chair from one of the seats.

Jimo Wuxuan waved his hand slightly, but was unwilling to say a word. His face was frighteningly cold.

Tiangang saw that gesture, so he pushed the wheelchair forward, sent Jimo Wuxuan to the empty seat, and then stood aside.

Qian Diewu followed and did not sit down immediately. Instead, she bowed to everyone and then sat down next to Jimo Wuxuan without speaking.

She knew that she needed to say something to salute in the palace, but she was afraid of saying the wrong thing and causing unnecessary trouble, so she didn't speak and just saluted with gestures.

Although the concubines, princes, and princesses sitting here had some objections to Qiandiewu's behavior, they did not dare to say anything because sitting next to Qiandiewu was a person who was more terrifying than the King of Hell.

Jimo Wuming was the last person to sit down. However, as soon as he sat down, he felt a pair of peach blossom eyes looking at him, which made him feel uncomfortable. He deliberately did not look at this person because he knew who it was.

Princess Lianxiang kept staring at Jimo Wuming, expressing her feelings for him clearly with her eyes and expressions. She only asked for a response from him, but he didn't even look at her, which made her very sad.

.

No matter what, she was determined to decide on Jimo Wuming.

Except for Princess Lianxiang, everyone else was watching Qiandie Wu, even the emperor was no exception, and praised her, "The Lord of the Castle has such a good vision that he can choose such a beautiful woman as his wife from among the people. Congratulations."

Jimo Wuxuan didn't speak, as if he were mute, and the expression on his face was always cold.

Qian Diewu felt that this was not a good idea, so she responded to the emperor's praise, "The emperor has praised me very much. If a commoner's wife wants to compete with the empress and other noble concubines, she will be nothing compared to a big witch, and it will be difficult for her to ascend to the hall of elegance."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's prejudice against Qian Diewu was instantly reduced.

Who doesn't like to be praised?

"Haha... Not bad, not only is he a nice person, but he is also very good at talking. It seems that the Lord of the Castle is really a lucky person. Madam, I would like to propose a toast to you." The emperor did not mind Jimo Wuxuan's indifference and raised his hand.

Wine glasses, and other drinking glasses.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's the women of the common people who should respect you, the Emperor. I wish you longevity and good health." Qian Diewu picked up the wine glass in front of her with both hands, saluted the Emperor, and drank it all.

"Okay." The emperor was extremely satisfied and drank the wine in one breath. Then he asked the palace maid to pour another glass and greeted Qian Diewu in return, "Madam, you offered me the cup just now. Now it's my turn to offer you."

"Your Majesty, a commoner's wife doesn't drink well. She'll be dizzy after one drink, and she'll be drunk after three drinks. I'm afraid..." Qian Diewu looked at the refilled wine glass in front of her in embarrassment. She really didn't want to drink.

She didn't want to drink the first cup, but she had to drink it because of the emperor's face. If the emperor continued to drink like this, would it be strange if she didn't get drunk?

"Madam, the Emperor is toasting you a drink. Even if you are drunk, you should drink it." The Queen reminded Qian Diewu that she must drink this glass of wine, and her words contained a warning.

"Oh." Qian Diewu responded helplessly, picked up the wine glass, and was about to drink, but unexpectedly, someone snatched it away.

Jimo Wuxuan snatched the wine glass from Qian Diewu's hand, drank it all in one gulp, and said coldly: "I'll drink it for her."

His behavior warmed her heart, and she gave him a bright smile to express her gratitude.

He is willing to drink for her, which proves that he cares about her, which feels good.

As long as it was something Jimo Wuxuan did, the emperor seemed to not care about it and laughed it off, "Okay, the Lord of the Castle has just married his lovely wife and he knows how to care for her so much. It seems that the relationship between you and your husband is good."

"Haha!" Qian Diewu responded with a dry smile, so guilty.

Xia Houran suddenly said: "Since the eldest lady is too drunk, let's have tea instead of a bar. Come and prepare tea for the eldest lady."

Xia Houran ordered people to prepare tea without asking Qian Diewu's opinion. However, the order had already been given, and Qian Diewu had no choice but to accept it.

Anyway, it’s just drinking tea, no big deal.

The other concubines were looking at Qian Diewu's clothes with envy in their eyes. They were very fond of the clothes she wore that were embroidered with gold threads. However, these clothes belonged to someone else and they could only look at them. They didn't expect them to be expensive.

She is an imperial concubine, but her clothes are not as good as those of a private businessman's wife. This only shows that Mo Castle's financial resources are really amazing, and that the palace is really poor.

The emperor invested all his financial resources in developing the elixir of immortality. He was not even willing to spend more money to get his own dragon robe, let alone the clothes of his concubines?

Princess Lianxiang had been looking for an opportunity to strike up a conversation with Jimo Wuming. When she saw that the scene was quiet for a while, she immediately asked: "The second castle master didn't say anything today, is there something on his mind?"

Jimo Wuming responded politely, "The princess is joking. My eldest brother and sister-in-law are present. They are my elders, so naturally they should talk first."

"Oh, as far as I know, no matter what the occasion is, you are the one who takes the initiative to negotiate."

"That's just a rumor."

"I wonder if the Lord of the Second Fortress has someone he likes?" Princess Lianxiang said the key point without being shy at all. Although she didn't leave the palace often, she still knew clearly that there were many women who wanted to marry Jimo Wuming. If she

If he is squirming, he will be snatched away.

"Sooner or later, the person I like will be there, and I am currently looking for it. If I find a beautiful person one day, I will definitely introduce it to the princess." Jimo Wuming responded cleverly, and there was a meaning in every word: the person he liked was not Lianxiang.

Princess.

Princess Lianxiang was not stupid. She heard this meaning and felt very angry. However, she did not want to lose her composure in front of Jimo Wuming, so she had no choice but to suppress her anger and show others with a smile.

At this time, a palace maid brought tea to Qian Diewu and said respectfully: "Madam, this is tea prepared for you."

"Well, put it down." In order to maintain the image of the great lady of Mo Castle, Qian Diewu did not thank the palace maid, but simply responded and asked the palace maid to place the tea cup in front of her.

"Yes." The palace maid nodded in response, then picked up the tea cup with one hand and sent it away from Qian Die Wu. The tea cup was only a fist away from Qian Die Wu's neck.

When the palace maid brought the tea cup to Qian Die Wu's neck, she suddenly stopped, and a dagger as long as a finger suddenly appeared in her hand holding the tea cup, and she quickly slashed towards Qian Die Wu's neck.
