Lord Chen looked around.
"Why haven't I seen that fellow Jiang Zhengyi? He makes me angry just talking about him. He's incompetent, but he was caught by the censor, and he's still trying to blame us."
Lord Li shook his head: "I didn't see him, nor did I see his family.
Tomorrow, we must go and find out what his situation is."
"Brother Li is right. Let's see how he is doing so that we can make the appropriate arrangements. If the princess comes to visit, we'll be well prepared so we don't panic."
As Lord Chen spoke, he looked towards the main seat.
At this moment, Nangong Jiu was sitting on a chair specially made for her, eating exquisite dishes with great etiquette.
She used the chopsticks very skillfully, and the palace maids standing beside her and serving her food became mere decorations.
Upon seeing this, Empress Chen dismissed the palace maids and let her do what she wanted.
After three rounds of drinks, Emperor Dongling raised his glass and said some words of congratulations, then Nangong Jiu stood on the chair.
"Thank you all for coming to my birthday party. To show my gratitude, I will give you a gift."
After saying that, she raised her little hand, and suddenly a golden light appeared, covering all the guests present.
After a moment, she withdrew her little hand with a smile.
One of the guests noticed something unusual: "Hey, my old ailment seems to be gone. My lower back pain that I used to have is gone."
"Since the day before yesterday, I've felt a bit stuffy in my chest and shortness of breath. Now I feel very comfortable."
"My illness is gone."
"So, the gift the princess gave us is good health?"
After the guests felt the changes in themselves, they expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, Princess, thank you, gods, for curing our ailments!"
Nangong Jiu waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. Come eat and enjoy your meal!"
After saying that, he sat down, picked up a honey pigeon and started to eat it.
Empress Chen looked at it lovingly and asked, "Is it delicious?"
“Mmm, delicious!”
Seeing this, the guests all sat down happily and clinked glasses.
Master Huiyuan gained the most.
At that moment when he was under the golden light, he felt a sense of comfort all over his body, as if his cultivation was about to break through.
"Qingchen, I feel my body is different, it's much lighter!"
Taoist Qingchen nodded and lowered his voice, saying, "Jiujun has healing spiritual roots. If you have another three or two years, your cultivation will be complete."
Master Huiyuan looked at Nangong Jiu with joy.
"This is Huiyuan's good fortune!"
General's Mansion.
After the banquet, Nangong Jiu left the palace and returned home with his family.
In the shaking carriage, Nangong Jiu yawned repeatedly.
Liu Hao looked at the little person snuggling next to Nangong Yunxue: "Are you sleepy? If you are, take a nap."
Nangong Jiu found a comfortable position, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The beginning of the midnight hour.
Nangong Jiu seemed to wake up as if he had sensed something.
When he saw who was standing in the room, he suddenly jumped out of the bed: "Dad, Mom, brothers, you are here to see me!"
Nangong Xunhuan reached out and picked up the little guy: "My dear, today is your birthday, how can we not come?"
Xiang Ning kissed Nangong Jiu's little face: "Xiaojiu, are you happy today?"
"I'm happy. Many people attended my birthday party and I received many gifts."
Xiang Ning smiled and nodded: "As long as you are happy! Daddy and Mommy also brought you a gift, come and see, do you like it?"
Xiang Ning spread out her hands, and an ancient box appeared in her hands and was placed in front of Nangong Jiu.
Nangong Jiu opened it and saw a box of high-level demon beast inner cores.
"You have recovered to 50% of your cultivation level. These inner pills are just right for you to refine."
"So much, thank you, Mom and Dad!"
Nangong Ba came closer and said, "Xiaojiu, we went to the Magic Forest to get these inner pills specifically for you."
"We? Myna, are you going too?"
"Of course, I have a box here too." Nangong Ba spread his hands and handed over another box.
When Nangong Jiu opened it, he saw a box of high-level demon beast inner core.
"Great! Qingchen and Huiyuan can use it."
Looking at the happy little guy, Nangong Xuan and his brothers also presented their boxes.
Without exception, they are all inner elixirs.
"After much deliberation, we realized you have everything you need. This is what you need most right now."
Nangong Jiu's eyes narrowed into slits due to his smile.
"Thank you, brothers! Your special gift has touched our hearts. These inner elixirs are exactly what we need right now and are more valuable than anything else!"
"As long as Xiaojiu likes it!" Nangong Xuan pinched Nangong Jiu's chubby face.
"This little face seems to have gotten rounder after eating more."
"Well, brothers, when are you going to find a sister-in-law for me?" Nangong Jiu looked at his brothers one by one.
Nangong Xuan touched his nose and said, "Xiaojiu, you really can't forget this topic.
In the past, you always talked about this matter, but I didn’t expect that you still haven’t forgotten it even after coming to the mortal world.”
"Really? Why don't I remember? Don't blame me for talking too much. Look at yourselves, you're all grown up.
By the way, big brother, doesn't that fairy always love to chase after you? "
Nangong Xunhuan and his wife nodded repeatedly: "Xiaojiu is right, none of these brats are easy to take care of..."
Nangong Xuan quickly changed the subject: "Okay, we came down to see Xiaojiu. Xiaojiu, is there anything you need your brothers to help you with?"
"No, thank you, brother!"
Xiang Ning took Nangong Jiu from Nangong Xunhuan's arms.
"Xiaojiu, you are a good child. You must protect yourself and your family, practice hard, and accumulate more merits."
"Hehe... Don't worry, mother. My name, the little devil, has spread throughout the martial arts world."
"It's better to spread the word, so that some ignorant people won't come and cause trouble."
Xiang Ning smoothed Nangong Jiu's hair and said, "Why is your hair the same as before, so thin and soft, and it still doesn't grow back."
"Yes, mother, why is that?"
"I don't know why, but you had that same hair for years. It wasn't until it grew to waist height that it got better."
"Ah, I want long, shiny black hair." Nangong Jiu wailed.
Nangong Xunhuan quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "My dear, don't worry, you will grow taller soon. When you grow taller, your hair will grow longer naturally."
The family talked and laughed for a long time before leaving.
Nangong Jiuchong said to Xiao Wang Xiaoxing: “We have inner elixir to refine again, and the affairs of those ministers must be resolved as soon as possible.
Only after you have resolved it, can you calm down and practice well. "
Xiao Wang nodded in reminder.
"Then your majesty, please rest quickly. We will go as soon as the sun rises. Didn't Jiang Zhengyi say that Lord Li took three concubines at once? Let's go and take a look first."
Xiaoxing added: "And that Master Chen, in order to take a concubine, he even beat his first wife."
Nangong Jiu made the final decision.
"That's settled. We'll set off at daybreak. We'll first go to the two houses to get a feel for the situation before we officially go."
"Master Li, Master Chen, please accept this..."
