"Return to your ancestral roots?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Ding with suspicion, and then cast their eyes on Xiao Ning who was standing aside. At this moment, Xiao Ning also looked at a loss, staring at his father, trying to find some clues from his face.
Facing the confused and puzzled faces of the crowd, Xiao Ding first coughed lightly, then said in a solemn voice:
"Well, actually, this is not a big deal. We just need to go to the family's place to hold a worship ceremony. It is tentatively estimated that we will set off in about a week. Ning'er, you must be well prepared by then. This trip will allow you to pay a visit to your grandparents, your aunts and uncles. To be honest, you have not met them yet!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ning couldn't help but reveal a slightly awkward smile. As Xiao Ding said, Xiao Ning really knew very little about his elders. Just two years ago, he met his grandmother for the first time. As for his grandfather, he rarely heard his mother Chu Qian mention him. It seemed that he had heard that Xiao Ning's grandfather was a prince of a small country and had a lingering love affair with Chu Qingxian. However, as for what happened afterwards, he had no idea.
Talking about the situation on his father's side, as far as Xiao Ning knew, the Xiao family was located a full 180,000 miles away from Yongning City. Because of this, the two sides rarely had contact with each other.
At this moment, suddenly, a pair of slender hands as soft as jade, like a gentle breeze, slowly placed on his broad and solid shoulders. Chu Qian's beautiful eyes revealed deep concern, and she looked at him softly, whispering:
"Come to think of it, you haven't been back to Yaochi for a long time. Taking advantage of the free time these days, why don't you go back and visit your grandma and Qingqiu and the others..."
Hearing these words, Xiao Ning's mind involuntarily emerged Chu Qingxian's face that was always filled with a gentle and kind smile, and then he thought of Qing Ge and Leng Qingqiu's bright smiles that bloomed like flowers.
After thinking for a moment, he slowly raised his right hand and gently placed it on Chu Qian's arm, which was as white as a lotus root, and responded in the same tender tone:
"Yes, mother, I know."
Then, Xiao Ning turned his head slightly and cast his gaze towards the other people standing beside him. He smiled warmly and kindly and said:
"In that case, everyone, let's go to Yaochi together!"
As soon as Xiao Ning finished speaking, the people around him suddenly became excited, and each of them looked particularly happy.
At the same time, in the bustling and lively capital of Dagan, lights were everywhere, as bright as day. In the magnificent palace, Dongfang Qinyin and Dongfang Xiong were warmly entertaining the distinguished envoys from Dachu.
In the direction where the two stood opposite each other, a woman in a simple and elegant robe was sitting on an exquisite and gorgeous couch. Her silvery white hair that fell on her shoulders like a waterfall fluttered gently in the wind, making her look like a fairy descending from the earth. Looking at her extremely beautiful face, there was a small and exquisite black mole just right next to the right corner of her eye. Not only did it not feel abrupt, but it added a bit of unique charm to her.
Nangong Luoyu looked guilty, slowly raised the exquisite wine glass in his hand, and looked sincerely at the noble woman sitting opposite him - Princess Dongfang Qinyin. He bowed slightly, and said in an apologetic tone:
"Your Highness, please forgive my previous rudeness and offense. It was really because of my confusion at the time. I hope Your Highness can be magnanimous and forgive my mistakes."
Dongfang Qinyin heard this and raised the wine glass in front of her in the same elegant manner. Her beautiful face looked particularly serious. She responded softly:
"Mr. Nangong, there is no need to mention the past, just let it go with the wind. After all, there are still many days to come, and I believe there will be more opportunities for us to understand each other and get along in friendship..." After saying that, she smiled and gently raised the wine glass, motioning to Nangong Luoyu to drink the glass of wine together to resolve the past grudge.
Recalling the thrilling scene that happened in the Great Chu Palace before, Nangong Luoyu actually tried to take Dongfang Qinyin's life at that time. This was no joke! If Xiao Ning hadn't blocked the fatal palm for her in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. Although both parties were unharmed in the end, this incident undoubtedly left an indelible shadow in Dongfang Qinyin's heart.
At this moment, Nangong Luoyu stared at Dongfang Qinyin's calm and composed appearance, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he also hurriedly raised his glass respectfully, raised his head and drank it all, expressing his deep repentance for his wrong behavior. After a glass of fine wine, the two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. So, they naturally began a long heart-to-heart talk.
Dongfang Xiong, who was sitting nearby, saw this and couldn't help but feel curious. He asked the two what had happened before that led to this situation. Dongfang Qinyin smiled and explained softly:
"Father, you may not know that when I went to the State of Chu, this Imperial Master was unable to come to greet me in person. He came here today to apologize to me for this matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, he gave Nangong Luoyu a meaningful look. The intelligent Nangong Luoyu instantly understood the deep meaning behind this look. Then, she looked guilty and respectfully bowed to the princess and apologized:
