The palace banquet was scheduled for the afternoon of the next day. We had just finished lunch and taken a short rest when the steward came to report that the palace carriages had arrived.
"Your Highness, Chief Steward Fulai from the palace has come personally to escort you, the Prince, and the young master to the palace for a banquet."
Fu Lai was the personal eunuch of the Chu Emperor. Not to mention foreign officials, even the Empress was not fortunate enough to have him serve her personally.
The fact that the Chu Emperor sent him shows how much he valued his master's family.
As the steward of the Prince's mansion, he also felt honored.
Lin Jiujiu sipped the tea brought by the maid, paying no attention to the steward's words.
An emperor in the mortal realm is nothing in the cultivation world. Moreover, she had just given Emperor Chu an immense opportunity, so it was only natural that he would do so.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Jiujiu thought it would be nice to visit the palace, and coincidentally, the little bean buddy was quite interested in it too.
When the family of three finished getting ready to leave, Steward Fu had already been waiting for an hour.
However, there was not a trace of impatience on his face.
Upon seeing the three of them emerge, he quickly stood up and bowed.
"This servant greets Your Highness, Your Highness, and the Young Prince."
Here, no one knows the little bean's identity; everyone thinks he is Lin Jiujiu and Baili Chenyuan's child.
Lin Jiujiu also felt there was no need to explain; otherwise, it would only be asking for trouble.
They can't exactly explain to everyone why the two of them call each other husband and wife, but their little one calls one "mother" and the other "brother."
Lin Jiujiu always treated people with respect, and she reciprocated with even greater respect. Fu Lai adopted an extremely humble attitude, and Lin Jiujiu did not look down on him because of his status.
Instead, he politely returned the greeting.
"You're too kind, Grandpa Fulai."
He also casually handed over a longevity pill.
Although it's not as miraculous as the Longevity Pill, it can improve his hidden ailments and add a few more years to his lifespan without any problem.
When Fu Lai saw that Lin Jiujiu had handed him a bottle of pills, his eyes immediately lit up.
Did he know that these people in front of him were immortals, and that what flowed from their hands were elixirs of immortality?
This kind of thing is something you can only come across by chance.
Fu Lai accepted it with both hands and then immediately gave a deep bow.
"This servant thanks Your Highness for your grace."
Lin Jiujiu wasn't surprised when he suddenly bowed deeply.
He smiled faintly and said, "Get up, don't keep His Majesty the Chu Emperor waiting."
After saying that, Baili Chenyuan picked up the little girl and put her on the carriage, then turned back and reached out his hand to her.
Lin Jiujiu didn't stand on ceremony and got into the car with her help.
Just then, Fu Lai announced, "Let's go!"
Just as the carriage was about to move, a figure darted over quickly.
"Wait for me, Your Highness. I will go with you."
The imperial carriage was very large; it could easily accommodate not only the three members of their family, but also the entire Lin family.
However, Tantai Yueming's arrival still earned her a glare from Baili Chenyuan.
"Where is your own carriage?"
Baili asked in an annoyed tone.
He finally got to spend some time alone with Jiu Jiu, and why did this annoying guy have to come over?
As for the little bean sprout, Baili Chenyuan didn't take him seriously at all. After all, if he put Xiaobai in his arms, the two little ones could play for half a day without disturbing them.
Tantai Yueming could clearly see Baili Chenyuan's disdain.
But he still smiled and said...
"Isn't this asking them to pick them up from their estate on the outskirts of the capital? I am, after all, a royal uncle; I can't exactly walk into the palace."
"It would be perfect to hitch a ride on your palanquin."
Lin Jiujiu heard that he had sent someone to the estate to pick up someone, and she knew without guessing who it was.
"So, this time, the Chu Emperor is really going to go all out?"
When Tantai Yueming heard her ask this, she nodded emphatically.
"Yes, we need to teach the Crown Prince and his wife a lesson. The most important thing is to see if we can uproot their hidden agents."
He had already told his elder brother yesterday that his cultivation level had recently become very weak, and he felt that he could not stay in the lower realm for too long.
If he leaves, it will be difficult for ordinary people to control those cultivators.
So they discussed it and decided to find all these people and deal with them one by one before they left.
Their first priority now is to stir up trouble and scare the snake out of its hole.
Tantai Yueming raised his hand and set up a barrier, revealing some of the plan that the two brothers had discussed to Lin Jiujiu and Baili Chenyuan, hoping they would cooperate.
The most important thing is Lin Jiujiu. She has a lot of grudges with Lin Xian'er and the Lin family. I just hope she will leave some room for maneuver and not just kill them without a second thought.
Lin Jiujiu understood his implied meaning perfectly well, and she didn't intend to make things difficult for him.
"Don't worry, if I wanted to kill them, I wouldn't have let them live until now."
Originally, when Lin Jiujiu learned that Lin Xian'er actually dared to send people to kill her family, she did consider the idea of ending it all.
However, after discovering the incident in the mountain valley on the outskirts of Beijing, she changed her mind.
Since she craved power so much, she started with what she cared about most.
With Lin Jiujiu's assurance, Tantai Yueming breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to chat with Baili Chenyuan, he saw him glaring at him with displeasure, so he simply shut his mouth and even made a sealing motion with his mouth.
She quietly climbed to the back and played with the little one.
Although he was no longer bothered by annoying people, Baili Chenyuan wasn't shameless enough to be so affectionate with his wife under other people's noses; he probably wouldn't agree to it anyway.
And so, they entered the palace without incident.
The imperial carriage entered the palace without any inspection and proceeded smoothly all the way to the Imperial Garden before stopping.
While Emperor Chu was discussing important matters with his ministers in the imperial study, he instructed a young eunuch to wait at the palace gate. After the imperial carriage entered the palace, it was taken directly to the imperial garden.
The Chu Emperor asked Fu Lai to lead a few people to tour the garden first, and said he would come over when he was done with his work.
Knowing that the monarch was busy with official duties, Lin Jiujiu and her party were quite satisfied with the arrangements.
After all, it's a royal garden, so every step reveals a new scene.
Although Lin Jiujiu had seen all sorts of garden architecture, she was still inevitably attracted when she saw the scenery in the Chu Emperor's Palace.
The little one was absolutely fascinated and carried Little White around everywhere.
He was a Foundation Establishment cultivator after all, and ordinary people really couldn't hurt him. Besides, there was that troublemaker Xiaobai following him around, so Lin Jiujiu didn't care about him and let him run wild.
Little White was so happy he yelled excitedly.
Not for any other reason than that he is now a demon cultivator, and the purple aura in this royal garden is of great benefit to his cultivation.
She stopped snuggling in the little bean's arms and leaped out, rushing straight towards the place with the densest purple aura.
That place must hold something that would greatly benefit it.
Seeing it run away, the little bean saw it running off and worried that it would be caught if it wandered off, so it quickly followed after it.
He at least remembered that he couldn't fly on a sword in mortal territory, otherwise he probably would have pounced on him directly.
Humans are indeed a bit too slow. Little Bean couldn't keep up with Little White, but instead saw another familiar face.
"Brother Haoze".
