Chapter 224: The conspiracy against Yu Banxia and the others
At the end of the viewing platform, the priest Ulan looked at the foreign woman in front of him, who was accepting gifts from the leaders of various tribes, and the jealousy in his eyes was about to overflow.
She worked so hard for so long, but she only got the status of a priestess. Apart from being a priestess, she was not respected by the Beirong royal family.
A foreign woman was lucky enough to have medicine to treat the plague and saved the emperor, so she was given such an honor.
Everyone knows that only direct descendants of the royal family can be qualified to be the King of the Four Courts.
Why does she do that!
Wulan's jealous gaze fell on the face of the handsome man in a fox fur cloak and a black brocade robe.
That must be the famous and young major general Yan Pingshu of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Even when he stood next to the Beirong nobles who were dressed in fur coats, he was not inferior to them in the slightest.
At this moment, his eyes were always fixed on the slender and petite figure on the altar.
"It's just a plaything. Even if you save Beirong and the emperor, it doesn't matter. You are still a plaything for the new emperor."
"Otherwise, how could he be named the King of the West Courtyard?"
Wu Lan's nails stained with nail polish pierced into the palm of her hand, and blood oozed out instantly.
The jealousy in her heart was surging and she could hardly suppress it.
She cast her eyes on Uncle Yan Ping's handsome face, thinking to herself, if she could make this Southern Jin Major General her guest...
Just thinking about it made her body tremble.
In addition to Wu Lan, there was another pair of eyes that looked towards Uncle Yan Ping from time to time.
After the tribute was over, Yan Pingshu quickly bent down, picked up a pair of boots, and walked up the stairs. It was over and outsiders could go up.
Ayali glanced at her father and made a playful expression, but Walida pulled her off the altar in an unpleasant manner.
After Uncle Yan Ping came on stage, he asked Yu Banxia to sit on his legs, helped her put on her self-made socks, and then carefully put on her boots, not minding the snow and mud on the bottom of her boots.
"Although these boots are new, they have been worn on the road and are covered with snow and mud." Yu Banxia said softly.
Uncle Yan Ping raised his head and looked at her: "It's okay, for you, my heart is as good as Yi."
Yu Banxia's cheeks rarely turned red. She quickly stood up and pulled him up.
It seemed that he took off the water bag from his waist, but in fact he used the water source in the space to wash his hands carefully, and then took out a towel to wipe them carefully.
There was sweetness everywhere between the two of them, which made Wulan and Qi Baoyin jealous.
It seemed as if Yu Banxia was the third party. They wanted to tear her apart. Qi Baoyin snorted coldly: "Bitch, so what if she is the King of the West Courtyard."
"You got it by sleeping with the new emperor. You are not worthy of such a good young general. He is mine!"
Not wanting to watch any longer, Qi Baoyin turned around and left.
Yu Banxia looked at the two women leaving. The smile on her face disappeared instantly, and her eyes were cold.
Plotting against her and Aqing?
She gave them chances, but they insisted on bumping into her, so don't blame her for being cruel.
The dinner was held at the Beirong Palace.
After returning to Yingxi Hall, Yu Banxia changed out of her Northern Rong clothes and put back into Southern Jin clothes.
Uncle Yan Ping was waiting in front of the palace gate. It started snowing again, but fortunately it was not heavy.
He was standing there with an umbrella. When he heard the rustling sound, he turned around and saw Yu Banxia. The corners of his mouth raised and his eyes were full of tenderness.
He stretched out his hand and Yu Banxia put it into his.
"How long have you been waiting?" Yu Banxia asked softly as they walked towards the palace where the banquet was being held.
Uncle Yan Ping turned his head to look at her and smiled gently: "I didn't wait long, will you feel cold?"
It was dark, and the wind and snow were strong, and the wind was still a little cold on my face.
Yu Banxia looked at him with amusement: "It's not cold. You know, I've reached a state where I can withstand cold and heat. Don't worry about it."
"It has something to do with you, so I have reason to mess around."
While chatting and laughing, they had already arrived in front of the palace where the night banquet was being held.
"Greetings to the King of the West Courtyard, and greetings to the Young General." The palace servants greeted the two men.
Yu Banxia raised her hand and walked towards the main hall with Yan Pingshu.
"Master." Two sweet female voices came. Yu Banxia turned her head and saw Ayali, dressed as a crown princess, walking out from the side hall with Yao Qianyu.
"Those people are so annoying. They keep asking about Junior Sister's identity. They are a bunch of gossips." Ayali held Yu Banxia's arm and said with a frown.
Yu Banxia chuckled and patted her back soothingly.
"Today is a good day for you to become the Crown Princess. Why are you angry with them?"
Ayali also laughed when she heard it: "Yes, they are just outsiders. Master, please teach me how to cook Southern Jin cuisine. Before I leave Beirong, I want to cook a meal for my father."
"Master, can you help me persuade my father when the time comes? He is still in his prime and should find another companion by his side."
"Although I feel sorry for my mother, as a daughter, I still feel bad for my father being alone in the palace."
"Besides, my father is now the emperor of Beirong. Even if it is for the sake of expanding the Beirong royal family, we should hold another beauty contest."
Yu Banxia stopped and Ayali turned around in confusion.
"Your father is an adult, and now he is the leader of Beirong. I understand that you care about him, but the premise is that I cannot be your father's master."
"Master, I know." Ayali lowered her head.
Yu Banxia sighed: "I will tell your father about this. It's up to him how he does it, okay?"
"Thank you, Master." Ayali looked up in surprise, and Yu Banxia tapped her forehead.
"Let's go, it's time to go in." She lifted her skirt, walked up the stairs and entered the hall.
As they passed by, the officials and nobles who had already taken their seats stood up one after another.
"Greetings to the Crown Princess, greetings to the King of the West Courtyard, greetings to the Major General." All I could hear were greetings.
Yu Banxia walked all the way over and stopped at the front seat and sat down.
As soon as I sat down, I felt several gazes falling on me, some of which were extremely hot.
She didn't care at all, and Uncle Yan Ping, sitting next to her, naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"Master, this fruit is delicious, crispy and sweet, and it's called horseshoe fruit." Ayali brought the plate of white fruit in front of her to Yu Banxia's table.
"This is water chestnut, which is cold. You should eat less of it when you have your period in the future." Yu Banxia did not take it, but pushed it back to her while giving her instructions.
Ayali nodded and said obediently, "I understand, Master, little apprentice sister, you can eat it, right?"
She asked Yao Qianyu in a low voice, and Yao Qianyu nodded.
"Then you try it, it's really delicious." Ayali strongly recommended it. Yao Qianyu thanked her with a smile and picked up one and put it in her mouth.
"Well, it's really delicious, crispy and sweet, but not greasy." Yao Qianyu praised very respectfully, giving full emotional value.
Ayali smiled with her eyes curved and she was in a good mood.
"The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and Consort De, His Majesty has arrived!" Following the chanting of the old palace servants, the Emperor and others walked up to the seats of honor.
Everyone present stood up and saluted.
