Chapter 117 Transition
Chapter 117 Transition
Xuanyuan Hongtai and Ning You had already received the news that Xuanyuan Xingyao would return to the palace today, so this most noble couple waited in the imperial study early.
Ning You is a very disciplined person. He spends most of his time in the harem and rarely comes to the front court.
I really missed Xuanyuan Xingyao today, so I rushed to the imperial study as soon as I received the news.
Because Xuanyuan Xingyao came back this time to participate in the competition, not to win the battle like before.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Hongtai could not meet Xuanyuan Xingyao and General Qi in the Zhaode Hall where the court was held, but chose to meet in the Imperial Study.
"He has lost a lot of weight. Your Majesty, do you think Yao'er has lost a lot of weight?"
When Ning You saw Xuanyuan Xingyao walk in, she said to Xuanyuan Hongtai with a distressed look on her face.
There was a trace of heartache in Xuanyuan Hongtai's eyes, but he spoke stubbornly.
"I think it's become a lot stronger."
If Ning You didn't think it was too indecent, she really wanted to roll her eyes at Xuanyuan Hongtai.
"Your son greets the Emperor, Father, and the Empress, Mother."
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress."
When General Qi saw Ning You, he was only surprised for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and saluted the two of them calmly.
"Yao'er, please stand up quickly. General Qi, please stand up as well."
Xuanyuan Hongtai originally wanted to maintain his dignity as the emperor, but when he saw Xuanyuan Xingyao kneeling down, Xuanyuan Hongtai could no longer hold back and personally stepped forward to help Xuanyuan Xingyao up.
If General Qi had not been there, Xuanyuan Hongtai might have checked Xuanyuan Xingyao from head to toe to see if he was injured.
"Thank you, Father."
Xuanyuan Xingyao stood up with the help of Xuanyuan Hongtai.
General Qi also stood up and saluted.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
General Qi knew that Xuanyuan Hongtai and Ning You just wanted to have a good talk with Xuanyuan Xingyao.
Therefore, after a quick and concise report, he politely asked to leave.
Xuanyuan Hongtai was very satisfied with General Qi's "understanding". He generously gave him a lot of rewards and also gave him ten days of vacation to let him have a good rest.
This time it was just a simple escort and no major achievements were made. General Qi already knew that there was no chance of promotion.
General Qi was already very satisfied with the rewards of many treasures and even cultivation resources.
What made General Qi even happier was the ten-day vacation, during which he could spend some quality time with his family.
After General Qi left, Ning You was the only one left in the imperial study. She no longer had any reservations. With red eyes, she walked forward and looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao carefully, exclaiming that he had lost weight.
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at Ning You's red eyes, feeling warm and helpless in his heart. Every time he came back from going out, Ning You would come and have a fight.
Although he was touched by Ning You's concern, he was really not good at coaxing people.
Xuanyuan Xingyao had no choice but to look at Xuanyuan Hongtai, hoping that he would help comfort him.
Xuanyuan Hongtai felt a little proud when he received Xuanyuan Xingyao's "request for help".
No matter how talented Xuanyuan Xingyao is, he is still not as good as him in coaxing people.
"Okay, Zitong, stop crying. Yao'er has made us so proud this time. We should celebrate it properly."
Ning You took out a handkerchief from her bosom, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with tears of joy.
"Yes, yes, Yao'er has achieved so much, we must celebrate properly. I will go back and prepare a family banquet. Your Majesty, do you think you should call the other princes and princesses?"
"Let's just be our family today. We'll hold a grand celebration banquet tomorrow night. Then we'll invite all the royal relatives and ministers in and let them see how outstanding my Yao'er is."
Xuanyuan Hongtai said proudly.
To be honest, even Xuanyuan Hongtai didn't expect that Xuanyuan Xingyao would be so powerful this time and actually won the first place in the individual competition.
According to Xuanyuan Hongtai's expectations, it would be good if Xuanyuan Xingyao could enter the top ten.
In fact, if Bing Linxuan had not brought back the method of practicing evil spirit to Xuanyuan Xingyao and given him special training.
Xuanyuan Xingyao did just as Xuanyuan Hongtai had expected, at most entering the top ten in the individual rankings, and even maintaining this top ten position was quite difficult.
All I can say is that Xuanyuan Xingyao is lucky. If he wasn't so lucky, no matter how talented he was or how hard he worked, he wouldn't be able to improve his combat effectiveness so much in such a short period of time.
Ning You was very satisfied with Xuanyuan Hongtai's answer. Although she was virtuous, at this moment she also wanted to have a happy meal with her family instead of facing a group of hypocritical masks.
"I understand."
Ning You bowed gracefully to Xuanyuan Hongtai, and then went back to Fengyi Palace to prepare.
"You've not only brought honor to our father this time, but also to our Dragon Shadow Empire. For years, whether it's individual first place or the title of the continent's top academy, it's all been the Fate Kingdom's. Emperors of all generations have been somewhat frustrated by this."
Xuanyuan Hongtai felt that he might not have expanded the empire's territory like the emperors of previous dynasties.
But just for Xuanyuan Xingyao, he won the first place in the individual competition in the continental college competition.
He would be able to raise his head proudly in front of his father, or even his grandfather.
There are very few royal family members of the Dragon Shadow Empire who do not have the talent for cultivation, so emperors of all dynasties have practiced cultivation.
Even if the strength of this cultivator is a little weaker, it is impossible for him to die in less than a hundred years like ordinary people.
Therefore, the succession of the throne in each dynasty was basically because the emperors reached a certain age or a certain level of cultivation and wanted to concentrate on cultivation, so they chose to abdicate.
Therefore, except for some emperors with poor talents who died early, many of them are still alive, and some even live very freely.
The Dragon Shadow Empire is the only empire on the continent, and even its Imperial Capital Academy is one of the best on the continent.
But in every continental college competition, the individual champion and the title of the continent's top college all belong to Fit College, which naturally makes the emperors of the empire feel a little frustrated.
Although they also knew that this was due to the atmosphere of the Fate Kingdom, they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
However, although it was uncomfortable, he did not force the Imperial Capital Academy to change its teaching methods.
If the teaching method is really changed, will it still be the Imperial Capital Academy? It would be better to just call it the second Fate Academy.
The Imperial Capital Academy is very grateful for this and usually pays close attention to all aspects of the students, but sometimes it just falls a little short.
Although Xuanyuan Xingyao failed to help the Imperial Capital Academy win the title of the number one academy on the continent this time, he still won the first place in the individual competition, which was at least a small counterattack.
It’s no wonder that Xuanyuan Hongtai ignored his own status and laughed so arrogantly.
No matter how Xuanyuan Hongtai praised him, Xuanyuan Xingyao remained very calm, and Xuanyuan Hongtai felt even more satisfied with him.
Xuanyuan Hongtai felt that it was time to start a family and build a career. Xuanyuan Xingyao had a career, so it was time to start a family.
If Xuanyuan Xingyao knew that because of his contribution this time, Xuanyuan Hongtai once again wanted to marry him, I wonder if he would impulsively find a time magician, reverse time and lose the game.
Just kidding, Xuanyuan Xingyao is very serious about martial arts and competitions. No matter what the reason is, he will not be allowed to be perfunctory in these two areas.
Not to mention how he treats others, even when he was sparring with Nangong Jing, Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't even think of letting him off the hook, which shows how serious Xuanyuan Xingyao is.
Xuanyuan Hongtai knew that Xuanyuan Xingyao had just returned and was covered in dust, so he didn't want to keep him any longer. He praised him highly and then asked him to go back and wash up.
The palace maids of Zhaochun Palace received the news that their master had returned early on.
Therefore, when Xuanyuan Xingyao returned to Zhaochun Palace, the palace servants had already prepared hot water and new clothes.
Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't like being served by palace maids, and he became even more careful after being with Nangong Jing.
So when he saw a palace maid waiting in the bathroom, he asked her to put down what she was holding and then went out to wait.
It would be a lie for the palace maids serving in Zhaochun Palace to say that they didn't have any thoughts at all.
After all, Xuanyuan Xingyao is talented, good-looking and noble. If you can follow Xuanyuan Xingyao, even if you are just a concubine, it will be a great thing to soar to the sky.
Unfortunately, they knew Xuanyuan Xingyao's temper, so although they felt a little sorry, they still obediently put down the toiletries in their hands and left.
When Eunuch Li saw that the palace maids had all left, he thought they were not serving him well, so he came in and asked.
"Your Highness, the maids aren't serving you well. Would you like me to replace them with new ones?"
"No, I just don't like people getting too close. I can wash myself."
Xuanyuan Xingyao just didn't want people to get too close, but he didn't want to hurt anyone. If those palace maids were really driven away by him, then the best fate waiting for them would be to go to the laundry to wash clothes.
When Eunuch Li heard that it was not the palace maids' problem, he felt relieved, but at the same time he was a little confused.
Although Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't like people getting close to him in the past, he would still have people serve him when he was bathing.
However, thinking about how Xuanyuan Xingyao had become increasingly disliked people approaching him in recent years, he didn't think much about it. He just thought that Xuanyuan Xingyao's illness had worsened, so he could only sigh in his heart and step back.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was used to the swift and decisive work in the army, so he cleaned up very quickly. In a short while, he had washed himself and changed into a new set of clothes.
"Your Highness is becoming more and more handsome."
He didn't know if it was Eunuch Li's illusion, but he always felt that Xuanyuan Xingyao looked taller and more upright than before when he came back, or in other words, he looked a lot older.
Xuanyuan Xingyao still had some feelings for Eunuch Li, who had taken care of him since he was a child. When he saw him praising him, he smiled at him in response.
Xuanyuan Xingyao packed himself up and went to Fengyi Palace to have a reunion dinner with his recognized relatives.
Outside the palace, Nangong Jing was alone in the room.
It’s not that Nangong Tao knew Nangong Jing was back but didn’t say anything, but Nangong Jing was a little tired after just coming back and didn’t have the heart to talk to Nangong Tao about it.
So, she used the excuse of being tired to politely decline Nangong Tao's suggestion of having a family reunion dinner.
The most lively place is still the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Feng Xuanzhou was originally the most favored one in the family, and this was the first time he had been away for such a long time.
Except for Feng Xuanqiao who was still traveling, everyone else came and had a reunion dinner with a group of people.
