Emperor Kangxi!
Rong Xi tried her best to keep her expression calm, but she still couldn't control herself. Back then, Emperor Kangxi, for the sake of the carefree saintess Yan Wuyue, resolutely followed the example of Emperor Shunzhi, faking his death and fleeing.
But how long has it been?
Emperor Kangxi, who should have been living happily ever after with Yan Wuyue, actually appeared in Zichuan City, right before Rong Xi. And yes, he came under the guise of seeking refuge with the Fourth Prince.
What does he want to do?
Rong Xi's desire to remain calm, yet her inability to do so, is quite fitting for this moment.
After all, it was quite exciting that a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage would come to seek refuge with the Fourth Prince.
May I ask your name?
"I am Yan Shiwo!"
Emperor Kangxi smiled slightly and announced his name.
Rong Xi was taken aback by his words, blinked, and said, "Could you be more specific? Is it the swallow in the 'parting swallows' idiom? Master—"
"The snowflakes of Yanshan are as large as mats; among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me."
Kangxi decisively interrupted Rongxi, simply because Rongxi's explanation of his pseudonym had a very negative connotation. He was now possessing the most beautiful woman in the land, a time of deep affection between husband and wife; how could there be talk of them parting ways?
"So it's Senior Master Yan. I was disrespectful just now. Please forgive me!"
After hearing Kangxi's explanation of his pseudonym, Rongxi had only one feeling: "He's really Kangxi, so arrogant."
People often say that a true man never changes his name or surname. But Kangxi is different; for a woman, he even disowns his ancestors. Now, he's even taken that woman's surname. This kind of person is completely unrelated to the Kangxi Emperor that Rongxi knows.
Ignorance is no excuse!
Emperor Kangxi chuckled, “I heard that Prince Yong is holding a grand feast here, so I’ve come to establish a good relationship!”
"The Spirit Feast is not over yet. If you wish to join, please do so. The spiritual food served at this feast is of only average quality and is probably not of much use to you!"
Rong Xi looked surprised.
Holy crap, is this person really Emperor Kangxi?
Is a single meal of spirit food really necessary?
"I'm not seeking a breakthrough; I've simply arrived by chance, following my own whims. The spiritual food is mainly to satisfy my appetite. However, I never take advantage of others. There are some things that need to be made clear!"
Kangxi smiled slightly, took out a jade talisman from his storage bracelet, raised his hand and gently shook it. The jade talisman rose into the air and slowly flew towards Rong Xi.
Rong Xi raised her hand to take the jade talisman and looked at Kangxi.
"Please ask Princess Consort Yong to pass this jade token to Prince Yong. With this jade token, I can take action once!"
After Kangxi finished speaking, he stood up and bid farewell to Rongxi.
Rong Xi quickly got up and saw Kangxi off.
...
Something's not right!
After Kangxi went to the grand banquet, Rongxi returned to her own courtyard to reflect on everything.
In order to live happily ever after with Yan Wuyue, Emperor Kangxi faked his death and fled.
A normal person, under such circumstances, would definitely go to a secluded place. After all, both Kangxi and Yan Wuyue have reached the peak of cultivation; if they were to break through again, they should ascend to the upper realm.
Under such circumstances, Kangxi did not hide with Yan Wuyue, but instead came to Zichuan City, which was quite strange.
"Taotie!"
Yunshang decisively summoned Taotie, instructing it to secretly keep an eye on Kangxi.
With Taotie's abilities, if it wanted to keep an eye on Kangxi, it would naturally not be noticed by Kangxi at all.
...
In the main banquet hall of the grand banquet, Emperor Kangxi sat at the head table.
The guards responsible for maintaining order at the grand banquet saw Kangxi's seat and were about to step forward to correct him when they were suppressed on the spot by Kangxi's overwhelming aura of a Nascent Soul Realm expert.
The Divine Transformation Realm!
The guards of Prince Yong's mansion stopped in their tracks upon sensing Kangxi's cultivation level.
With a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage seated in the main position, even the Fourth Prince wouldn't have any complaints.
In this world of cultivation, true strength and power are the real foundation. Power may grant privileges in many situations, but when power clashes with force, it often has to yield.
Not long after Kangxi took his seat in the main seat, two more people arrived at the grand banquet.
Two women, both wearing veils.
Rong Xi naturally learned what was happening in the main banquet hall through Taotie's senses.
She didn't need to bother guessing the identities of these two women; she knew that one of them was Yan Wuyue, the Holy Maiden of the Xiaoyao Sect, and the other was Consort Hui, of the Nara clan.
Emperor Kangxi faked his death and fled for the sake of Yan Wuyue, the saintess of the Xiaoyao Sect; at least, that's what he said.
However, Consort Hui had always been a member of the carefree faction. When Kangxi took Yan Wuyue away, he naturally took Nara with him. However, according to the Empress Dowager, both Yan Wuyue and Nara had their memories altered.
Even Emperor Kangxi's own memories were altered.
This is what the Empress Dowager told Rong Xi!
However, when Kangxi appeared before her, Rongxi knew that Kangxi's memory had not changed at all. Kangxi remembered everything, but his appearance had changed somewhat.
"Taotie, what do you think he wants to do?"
"Master, how would I know? Your human thoughts are all sorts of strange things. Anyway, I, the glutton, can't possibly guess!"
Taotie shook his head, indicating that he could not help Rong Xi with her question.
Rong Xi knew she couldn't get any useful advice from Taotie. That guy was a glutton; eating was his specialty!
Inside the main banquet hall of the grand banquet, Emperor Kangxi sat firmly in the main seat, with Yan Wuyue on his left and Lady Nara on his right.
One delicious dish after another was served, and the three of them ate slowly and leisurely.
...
"Granny Rui!"
Knowing that Emperor Kangxi was enjoying a royal feast in the main banquet hall, Rong Xi felt extremely displeased.
Previously, Emperor Kangxi had targeted her. In fact, they were enemies.
Now, this grand feast of spiritual food is only possible because of her. Rong Xi was furious that her enemy wanted to use the ingredients she had painstakingly prepared for the feast.
"Madam!"
Upon hearing Rong Xi's summons, Granny Rui quickly appeared before Rong Xi.
"Please go to the Hui Te tribe now and ask the Prince to return immediately!"
Kangxi disguised himself as Yan Shiwo, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, so naturally the Fourth Prince was to receive him. Perhaps, the Fourth Prince might cause some trouble upon meeting Kangxi.
Although the Fourth Prince has lost some of his memories, it is said that there is some special connection between father and son. Well, whether this is true or not remains to be seen until the Fourth Prince returns to verify it.
Rong Xi was very curious about this.
"Yes, this servant will set off immediately!"
Granny Rui responded respectfully, then soared into the sky, flying towards the western mountain range.
After Granny Rui left, Rong Xi sent someone to invite Consort Song over for a talk.
