Chapter 152 Chao Chao's Sword

Before dawn, Lu Chaochao was picked up and washed.

Xu got up half an hour earlier than her and dressed up according to her rank.

Lu Chaochao couldn't even open her eyes. She didn't want to have breakfast and just drank a few sips of milk.

"It's too early, too early..."

"Let's change the time..." Lu Chaochao muttered in a daze.

[Next time, ask the Emperor to change the date to dawn.] Otherwise, I won’t go...】Lu Chaochao complained in her heart.

Xu smiled secretly and said, "This is the rule passed down by our ancestors. How can it be changed?"

As soon as Xu went out, she saw the door of the next door mansion was also opened.

When I looked up, I saw an unexpected figure.

Rong Che handed over the food box, picked up Chao Chao, and carefully put her into the carriage.

"You...why are you here?" Xu was slightly stunned.

Rong Che blushed and said nothing. The servant behind him said, "Our general couldn't find a wife, so he was kicked out of the house."

Rong Che glared at him secretly, glanced at Xu secretly, and then quickly looked away.

"This is breakfast. I know you got up early and didn't have time to eat." Let alone eating, many people didn't even dare to drink more water before entering the palace.

After thanking him, Xu got on the carriage.

"Why does the general walk with his hands and feet together?" Dengzhi asked.

"Puff..." Xu turned her head and saw that his whole body was stiff and he climbed onto the horse with his hands and feet.

Her brows curved with a smile.

As Xu got on the carriage, Dengzhi muttered, "General Rong is really at the opposite extreme from the Marquis."

"Every word and every appearance of the Marquis seems like a sophisticated calculation."

"General Rong is always a bit clumsy... and timid."

Clumsiness comes from the timidity caused by not daring to touch something because it is too precious.

It was still dark when the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.

All the court officials and their wives got off the carriages and waited in front of the palace gate.

Pei dressed up carefully and stood there with her head held high, holding Lu Jingyao's hand.

This was her first time entering the palace as the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

However, the ladies of various mansions were unwilling to associate with her.

Only Mrs. Jiang responded with a few words indifferently.

"Madam Jiang, the son has always been well-behaved and sensible. It was the bitch in the mansion who seduced him and caused Jinghuai to make a mistake. Don't worry, he is sincere to Yunjin." Pei knew that the Jiang family was angry because Lu Jinghuai and Su Zhiqing were caught in bed together.

"Jing Huai said that he will come to the Jiang family in person to admit his mistake when the results are announced tomorrow."

"I hope Madam Jiang won't be angry."

Mrs. Jiang looked unhappy. It was not surprising for a man to keep a concubine.

But it is rare to catch a young girl in bed.

Jiang Yunjin was at home with her eyes swollen from crying.

"Jing Huai is the son of a saint. He was young and energetic, and accidentally got tricked. Sister Jiang, when Jing Huai wins the title of Jie Yuan, come to the Jiang family in person to admit his mistake." When Mrs. Pei mentioned Jie Yuan, Mrs. Jiang's expression relaxed slightly.

She looked at Pei's peacock-like appearance and frowned slightly.

It's really not up to standard.

If Yun Jin didn't value Lu Jinghuai, she really wouldn't want to be involved with the mistress.

Mrs. Jiang felt a little regretful.

If she had known that Lu Yanshu could still stand up, she would not have broken off the engagement!

However, considering that Lu Yanshu had not read a book for ten years, it would not be a loss if Lu Jinghuai could really pass the imperial examination and become the prince's tutor.

Now, she only hopes that Lu Jinghuai can really step on Lu Yanshu.

Otherwise, it will be a waste of time and effort.

"Hey, how come the carriage can enter the palace?" Pei waited at the palace gate for a long time, but the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery only had a title but no real power, so he could only queue at the gate.

Wait for the lady to enter the palace first.

Mrs. Qin, the Minister of Rites, smiled and said, "We can only walk with our legs, but she doesn't."

"Madam Zhongyong, don't you know who is sitting in the carriage?" Madam Qin was extremely grateful to Lu Chaochao for giving birth to a son.

Pei was mistaken for the mistress of the Minister of Rites and was caught and beaten in public by Qin. She was afraid of him whenever she saw her.

At this moment, I could only ask carefully: "Jiaojiao doesn't know, what is that?"

Qin smiled.

"It's the ex-wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Madam Xu."

"The daughter she gave birth to is Princess Zhaoyang, and she has a first-rank imperial title. Naturally, she can enjoy special privileges."

Pei could barely hold back the smile on her face.

"Mother, my hand hurts..." Pei grabbed Lu Jingyao's wrist tightly, causing Lu Jingyao to scream in pain.

Pei blushed and let go, then hurriedly coaxed him in a soft voice.

When everyone saw this scene, they all laughed sarcastically.

Marquis Zhongyong divorced Xu for such a woman.

Seriously, idiot!

Some will regret it later!

When Lu Chaochao opened her eyes, the palace banquet had already begun.

Lu Chaochao reached out to wipe the saliva that was flowing out, and the emperor hurriedly ordered someone to carry her forward.

"Chao Chao, do you miss your father, the emperor?"

Lu Chaochao chuckled and stretched out his chubby little hand towards the emperor.

The emperor held her in his arms and said, "I miss you so much. I miss the emperor's cook..."

Then, he leaned over to the emperor's ear and said, "Emperor, can the palace banquet be held later in the future?"

The emperor was stunned, and seeing that she was sleepy, he knew that she could not wake up.

"Okay, okay. Next time I won't bother with Chao Chao, I'll just change the time."

Everyone was speechless. His Majesty really doted on her to the extreme.

Princess Yining, who was standing beside Concubine Xiao, looked at her with resentment.

"Today there will be a meeting of four countries. Chao Chao will sit next to father..." The emperor held her in his arms and directly reserved a seat for her on the dragon throne.

The emperor felt that Chao Chao had great luck.

He took a few deep puffs to get some good luck.

The Southern Kingdom is unshakably first, the Western Yue is second, the Northern Zhao is third, and the Eastern Ling is fourth.

Before the previous emperor ascended the throne, Beizhao was ranked last for many years, even worse than Dongling.

Today, Northern Zhao is growing stronger.

At this moment, Xu, as a first-rank imperial official, was also sitting next to a group of old ladies.

It's like the moon surrounded by stars.

As Dongling was a defeated country, the crown prince and the emperor's uncle also went to the capital to seek peace.

Originally, the unpopular Xuan Yin was sent as a marriage, and Xuan Jichuan was sent as a hostage.

Who would have known that Xuan Jichuan would be able to cling to Bei Zhaojin's thigh and live a life even happier than that of the Crown Prince of Dong Ling.

As the competition went on one after another, the emperor's brows were furrowed.

It was not until the sun went down that the winner gradually became clear.

"It turned out to be a draw with Xiyue." The chief eunuch frowned.

The Saint Lady of Xiyue was dressed in a white dress with fluttering sleeves, like a banished fairy.

"His Majesty……"

"Xiyue was lucky enough to obtain a broken sword. If Beizhao can pull out this sword, Beizhao will win."

"If we can't pull it out, then Xiyue will win."

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" There was a hint of pride in the Saint Maiden of Xiyue's brows.

Pull out the broken sword?

Ha, are you kidding?

The brave and warlike warriors of Western Yue, who were able to fight with a strength of a thousand pounds, could not pull the sword out of the scabbard at all, let alone Northern Zhao!

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

With all the civil and military officials in the court and envoys from various countries watching, he had no choice but to agree.

Boom...

Boom...

It seemed as if something huge was approaching step by step.

Everyone was stunned to see four burly men with strong arms with veins bulging on their arms, carrying a huge tray.

In the center of the tray, there was a rusty broken sword.

But it took four big men working together to lift such a delicate and small broken sword.

Moreover, the strong man was sweating profusely, and the floor tiles where his footsteps stepped on were slightly cracked.

The weight of the broken sword can be seen.

"What kind of sword is this?"

Everyone's face was filled with astonishment.

The Saint of Xiyue curled the corners of her lips and leaned on the couch, "Bei Zhao, it would be strange if you could pull out the broken sword."

She felt a wanton gaze and looked in the direction of sight.

A young man in blue, thin and pale, smiled at her.

When Lu Jinghuai saw the saint looking at him, he forced himself to nod with perfect posture despite his wounds all over his body.

Lu Chaochao sat up straight.

With a stern face.

This is... her sword!
