Chapter 223 All calculations are not calculations
As she expected, Walida and Ayali entered the gate of Yingxi Palace almost at the same time. Not only the father and daughter, but also the emperor emeritus came with the queen and Concubine De to explore the place.
After eating the meal made by Yu Banxia, the emperor despised it in public: "I claim that I grew up eating delicacies from land and sea, and I have also eaten delicacies from Southern Jin, Western Di, and Eastern Ling."
"But compared with the cooking skills of the King of the West Courtyard today, what we ate before was no different from pig food."
"King of the West Courtyard, when are you going back? Can I go back with you and live in your Anping Village for a while?"
Seeing the expectant look on the face of the Emperor, Yu Banxia couldn't help but smile: "If the Emperor doesn't mind, you can go back with me later. It happens to be the New Year of Southern Jin soon, and it will be even more lively then."
"This is good, this is good." The emperor nodded hurriedly.
Su Rina said nothing. Concubine De looked at Su Rina, then at the emperor: "Your Majesty, won't you take me and sister Su Rina with you?"
"Of course I have to take you with me. Now there are only two of you in my harem. If I don't take you with me, will you be left alone in the palace until the end of your life?"
Walida was anxious when he heard this: "Father, you are not staying here temporarily, are you going to live here permanently?"
"Hahaha, my son, I have experienced death twice. Now that I am old, I will take your mother, the Empress Dowager, to travel around the continent. This can be regarded as an explanation for my life."
After hearing this, Walida fell silent. He had already lost Adoni. Was he going to keep his father and the others trapped in Beirong?
"Okay, I will give you a pair of Canglang Guards when the time comes."
"Okay." This time the emperor did not refuse. If he kept refusing, he would not feel at ease in Beirong.
The meal was a pleasant one and the Yingxi Hall was filled with laughter.
While the Erdun siblings were still angry about not being able to find Yu Banxia's identity and whereabouts, the day of the new emperor's ascension to the throne arrived.
"I don't care what you two brothers and sisters have been doing these past two days. Today, the new emperor ascends the throne and the King of the West Courtyard is being conferred a title. You are not allowed to mess around, or I won't be able to save you."
Before leaving, Prince Chagan warned the Erdun siblings.
The two didn't dare to say a word and nodded obediently.
Nine bonfires were lit on the Chiwutai altar, and Walida, dressed in imperial attire, walked up step by step to the highest altar.
Ayali was also wearing a red dress today, following behind her father, without her usual playfulness.
The gold and silver bells around her waist made crisp sounds as she walked.
After the Beirong priest finished a prayer dance, heaven and earth remained unchanged.
She motioned to Walida to light incense and offer sacrifice to the sky. The smoke from the three long incense sticks went straight up, unaffected by the cold wind.
It can be seen that the ancestors of Beirong recognized the new emperor.
"Please ask Princess Ayali, the Crown Princess, to offer sacrifices to the heavens and the ancestors." The priest turned his gaze to Ayali again.
Yu Banxia noticed her expression and became more wary of her.
Sure enough, when Ayali stepped forward to light the incense, the smoke that was originally rising straight up began to move downwards.
Yu Banxia narrowed her eyes. The priest did have some tricks up his sleeve.
She snapped her fingers, and the smoke instantly went straight up and never moved again.
There was a flash of panic in the priest's eyes. He glanced at someone on his left and activated his magical power again, but the result was the same.
It was not until the emperor said several good words to her that she came back to her senses.
Everything has become a foregone conclusion, and Ayali's identity as the Crown Princess has been confirmed.
"The King of the West Courtyard has been conferred a title!" The priest suppressed his panic and shouted loudly.
Yu Banxia wore a gilded mask on her face and was dressed in Northern Rong costume. She walked barefoot on the steps covered with snow wolf fur.
Like Ayali, she wore gold and silver bells around her waist.
Yu Banxia had a slender figure, which was very different from the tall Beirong women. Even though she was wearing a mask and soft armor, it was obvious that she was not from Beirong.
"Who is our West Court Queen? She can't be a foreign woman as the rumors say?"
A noblewoman asked the people around her in a low voice.
"I don't know, but I heard that the King of the West Courtyard is the benefactor who saved our entire Beirong. The Emperor was killed by A Lingzhu, and it was she who saved him."
The woman next to her whispered back.
"No wonder it's like that. If she is the benefactor of our entire Northern Rong, it's understandable that such a wonderful woman would be named the Queen of the West Courtyard."
"Stop talking, be careful if the Canglang Guards hear you, or you will be punished for disrespecting the king." The woman in front reminded in a low voice.
The women then dared not speak any more.
Yu Banxia walked towards the platform step by step. Walida and Ayali were standing there waiting for her.
Ayali stepped forward and respectfully took off her gilded mask.
There was the sound of a scimitar falling to the ground.
Everyone turned their eyes towards the source of the sound, and Erdun quickly bent down and picked up the scimitar that had fallen on the ground.
His eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. It was the foreign woman who he met in the restaurant yesterday who claimed to be the King of the West Courtyard. She was actually the King of the West Courtyard.
How is this possible? How is this possible!
How could a foreign woman really be the King of the West Courtyard?
"What are you doing?" Prince Chagan's face turned pale. The warning look that Walida had just given him made him want to kick him.
Something that is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.
Erdun's hands froze slightly, and he quickly stood up, looking at his father with deep apology.
"Father, I didn't expect it to fall to the ground so suddenly."
"Don't cause trouble again." Prince Chagan warned.
Everyone withdrew their gaze and looked at the altar again, wondering whether the foreign woman could pull the bow and arrow.
It would be a real joke if you couldn't even pull a bow and arrow.
Even though she is the savior of the entire Beirong and the retired emperor, if she is powerless, she is not worthy of being recognized by Beirong as the King of the West Courtyard.
Walida brought the golden knife inlaid with wolf teeth to Yu Banxia, who took it and then hung it around his waist.
Ayali handed over the golden bow, Yu Banxia caught it with one hand, drew the bow and shot the arrow in one go.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Three arrows flew out and accurately pierced the throat of the Snow Wolf King a hundred meters away.
When Walida saw the Snow Wolf King a hundred meters away, his face darkened even more.
Yu Banxia didn't care, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and the original 100 steps was changed to 100 meters. Do you want to see a joke?
Does not exist.
Yu Banxia drew the golden knife from his waist, raised it to the sky, and snowflakes fluttered down from the sky.
The nobles watching below were shocked and terrified when they saw this scene.
What is shocking is that a foreign woman is recognized not only by the royal family, but also by the ancestors of the Beirong and God.
What is terrifying is that this foreign woman is from Southern Jin and has a fiancé who is a general of Southern Jin.
Will the new emperor offer the Northern Rong to Southern Jin in the future?
But, things have already happened and it is impossible to stop it.
"The bloodline of the Canglang will forever protect the northern border!"
"The bloodline of the Canglang will forever protect the northern border!"
Then the leaders of various tribes came forward one after another to present wolf fangs to Yu Banxia, as well as various fine furs, gems, and gold and silver utensils.
