[Latest Broadcast] Tomorrow is 515, Qidian's anniversary celebration, the day with the most benefits. Other than the gift bag and the school bag, the 515 red packet this time was definitely a must. There was no reason not to snatch the red packet. Set the alarm clock ~
No matter what, Kou Lingxu still held the title of 'godfather'. Before the wedding banquet began, Miao Yi found out that the Kou Clan had arrived, so he went to the Kou Clan's side residence to greet them.
Everyone in the Kou family had forced smiles on their faces when they saw him. It was the kind of feeling that it would be rude not to greet him, but they were worried that it would be inappropriate to greet him. Even Kou Wenlan, who had been close to him in the past, felt a sense of distance when they met again.
Miao Yi didn't care what other people thought. In any case, Miao Yi would always take the initiative to greet those he knew.
The subordinates were not confident. When they saw people at Kou Zheng's level, their attitudes were slightly better. This was because people at that level had confidence in themselves.
When he bumped into the three Kou brothers, Miao Yi cupped his fists and greeted, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother." He then cupped his hands towards the other members of the Kou Clan. His eyes inadvertently met with Sui Chuchu's resentful gaze, and then he glanced at Sui Chuchu's protruding belly.
Kou Mian nodded and smiled. "Coming."
Kou Qin said sarcastically, "Traitorous thing." He looked to the side. It seemed like no one knew who he was talking about, but everyone knew who he was talking about.
As soon as he said this, the Kou Clan's descendants found it even more difficult to act appropriately.
"Second Bro!" Kou Zheng berated him, then waved his hand to dismiss the servant who had brought Miao Yi. He then took the initiative to invite Miao Yi to the side for a chat.
Following behind him, Miao Yi shot an indifferent glance at Kou Qin, who had a strange expression on his face. He didn't say anything, and no emotions could be seen on his face. As he brushed past Kou Qin, Miao Yi could even hear Kou Qin's cold snort from behind.
"Your second brother is just like that. Don't take it to heart. How are you over there?" After the two of them walked to the side, Kou Zheng took the initiative to show some concern.
Miao Yi knew she was just putting on a show, so he replied politely, "I'm fine."
Kou Zheng: "I heard that the Governor's Office still hasn't found a place to establish itself?"
Miao Yi replied, "Before I came here, the Traversing Moon Palace had already relented. I came here to report this to the Heavenly Valley Palace. We're just waiting for the Heavenly Courts to agree. "
"Oh!" Kou Zheng was slightly surprised. "Traversing Moon Palace has agreed?"
"Yes." Miao Yi nodded.
"That's good." Kou Zheng nodded slightly, but he had some misgivings in his heart. The various information channels of the Kou family had no news of this at all.
The two chatted for a while and talked about the wedding banquet. Kou Zheng deliberately asked with concern: "You are in an awkward situation coming to the Li Palace. Did the Tian Mi Palace arrange a seat for you? If you don't, you can sit together as a family at the wedding banquet. Don't cause any more trouble this time, otherwise no one will give you another chance. Last time, you took advantage of me. "
"Understood!" Miao Yi replied politely.
After that, Kou Zheng called Kou Mian over and asked him to take care of Miao Yi during the wedding banquet. Kou Mian smiled and agreed. Everyone knew why he didn't tell his Second Brother, Kou Qin. Ever since Kou Wenhuang lost the right to enter the Three Roots Hall because of Miao Yi during the assessment, Kou Qin had always been brooding over Miao Yi.
With the ringing of a bell from the Li Palace, the Kou clan gathered all its members and set out.
By the time he arrived at the gate of the Li Palace, the various ministers had already arrived with their families and presented their congratulatory gifts.
Miao Yi was no exception. However, from the moment he presented his congratulatory gift and entered the Li Palace, Miao Yi was no exception. Miao Yi was under the scrutiny of all sorts of gazes.
He followed the Kou clan into the palace. Before the wedding banquet began, Kou Zheng left the Kou clan and went to the main banquet hall, which only the ministers of the imperial court could enter.
Before he officially took his seat, the various families greeted each other. Miao Yi stood alone at the side. No one paid him any attention, and no one provoked him. After the incident with Ying Wuque during the birthday banquet, no one even bothered to talk to him. They even took the initiative to avoid him when they saw him approaching. They didn't give him a chance to cause trouble. The Fourth Army was currently in an unstable state. Unless they had no other choice, no one was willing to cause trouble at a time like this.
As Miao Yi looked around, he inadvertently saw a huge golden dragon lying on the floor of the hall. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt like the dragon's eyes were staring at him.
Not long after, a fairy came to find him. She was sent by the Tian Mi Palace and asked if he had a seat. If he didn't, the Tian Mi Palace would arrange for him to sit with the Xiahou clan.
The Tian Mi Palace had clearly predicted that an awkward situation would occur, which surprised Miao Yi. For them to still think of him at a time like this, he could feel how much importance the Heavenly Empress Xiahou Chengyu placed on him. In fact, when the Netherworld Presidential Manor was building the framework, the Tian Mi Palace agreed to most of his requests. He could already feel the Heavenly Empress Xiahou Chengyu's strong support for him. When the Son of Heaven was born, Traversing Moon Palace took the initiative to come to him and agree to let him build a residence within Traversing Moon Palace's territory. This made him feel like he was borrowing the Son of Heaven's influence.
All the signs proved that Yang Qing was right. Even though the Heavenly Empress was in an awkward situation and didn't have any real power outside the palace, her identity and status were still there. It was important to obtain the Heavenly Empress' support. Miao Yi knew that he had to support the Heavenly Empress as well. Otherwise, the two of them weren't related at all. There was no reason for the Heavenly Empress to only contribute and not ask for anything in return, especially when the Son of Heaven's birth had solidified her position.
After Miao Yi said that he would sit with the Kou clan, the fairy nodded and left. Before she left, she sent a message to Miao Yi, "Lord Lieutenant, don't be in a hurry to leave after the banquet. Wait for the Lady to summon you."
"Yes!" Miao Yi replied.
This scene attracted the attention of many, even though they didn't know what they were talking about.
The bell rang again, and the guests took their seats. As the master of ceremonies sang loudly, there was no need to mention any unnecessary formalities.
After the banquet, the families of the various ministers came and went to toast each other. Miao Yi sat on the side and didn't move at all. Basically, no one dared to do anything to him. Kou Mian would occasionally raise his cup to diffuse the awkwardness, and Kou Yu's carefree husband, Sheng Muxue, would raise his cup to Miao Yi from time to time. His smile was also the most sincere.
Miao Yi had interacted with Sheng Muxue before. He knew that this man had always been kind to others. He didn't offend anyone outside and didn't put on airs as the Kou clan's son-in-law. He didn't take sides within the Kou clan either. He only made friends and never made enemies. When faced with trouble, he would take a step back. He was a good man. It was normal for him to be similar to Miao Yi, so no one would say anything about it.
After the banquet ended, everyone got up and left to go to the garden. Seeing that Miao Yi had no intention of leaving, Sheng Muxue called out, "Little Four. Let's go together. "
The reason he called her 'Little Four' was because the Kou clan had three daughters to begin with. Yun Zhiqiu's adopted daughter was naturally the fourth. This was how they addressed each other.
Miao Yi gestured towards the inner garden with his lips and transmitted his voice over, "I have a mission."
Sheng Muxue also looked towards the inner garden. A meaningful look flashed across his eyes. He then turned back to Miao Yi and smiled, "Alright then. Remember to visit my house before you return to the Netherworld. You haven't been to my house yet. It's a good idea to go and familiarize yourself with it."
Miao Yi nodded and smiled. "Alright."
Sheng Muxue said seriously, "Then it's settled. I will wait for you at home. "
"…" Miao Yi was a little speechless. He was just being polite, but Sheng Muxue actually took it seriously. It wasn't as if Sheng Muxue had never invited him before, but he had always accepted it out of politeness. Now that he was stuck, he couldn't change his mind. He could only nod and say, "Alright! I will definitely go. "
Sheng Muxue smiled. "You know where my house is, right? Don't use the fact that you can't find your way back as an excuse. "
"I'll just contact you. I'm sure you won't purposely point me in the wrong direction." Miao Yi teased. He always had a good impression of this guy. He wasn't ambitious, and he treated others with sincerity. On top of that, he didn't have any conflicts of interest with him. Furthermore, he was still able to protect Miao Yi's reputation under such circumstances. This only deepened Miao Yi's impression of him.
"Haha. I'm leaving." Sheng Muxue patted Miao Yi's shoulder, then turned and left.
Miao Yi cupped his fists and sent him off.
Among the departing Kou Clan crowd, Kou Qin looked back and transmitted his voice over to Kou Mian, "Old Sixth's family is just a goody two shoes."
Kou Mian sighed. "Since you already know, what else is there to say? Muxue doesn't fight for fame or fortune. He's just that kind of person. He's someone who doesn't care about freedom even if he's given power. Everyone knows that no one will take his dealings with Niu Youde to heart. He won't implicate the Kou Clan. Second Brother, don't think too much about it. "
Not long after the gathering ended, a palace maid came over and asked Miao Yi to leave. She then led him to wait in a garden.
While he was waiting in the garden, a colorful phoenix landed gracefully on a nearby wall. Its feathers were gorgeous, and it would occasionally turn around to look in Miao Yi's direction.
Miao Yi would also look at it from time to time. After the Phoenix Tribulation last time, he didn't dare to provoke it again.
After waiting for a whole two hours, a palace maid finally came over and asked him to leave with her again.
This time, he truly entered the inner garden. After passing through the strange flowers and scenery, he saw that the pavilions ahead were filled with beautiful women chatting and laughing. They were all concubines of the palace, and there was a group of concubines that belonged to the Moon Supporting Sect. Among them, Zhan Ruyi stood out like a crane among chickens.
Miao Yi looked around, then lowered his gaze. He knew that with so many concubines here, it wasn't a good idea to look around. He didn't see Zhan Ruyi, but he was thinking to himself, 'Will Master Qing be able to handle so many women?'
An unfamiliar man suddenly appeared here. The concubines, who rarely had the chance to interact with outside men, gradually noticed him. Zhan Ruyi saw him as well, and his gaze followed him.
"It's Niu Youde, isn't it? Why is he here?"
"What other reason could there be? I'm guessing he was summoned by that person. He's quite bold to invite outside men into his harem."
"Don't gossip. Be careful not to be heard. That person is protected by the Son of Heaven now."
"Even the Son of Heaven's mother can't just invite outside men into her harem. What a scandal. Isn't she just relying on the Xiahou family's influence?"
"Maybe it's not what everyone thinks. His Majesty is probably with that person. Otherwise, no matter how bold that person is, she wouldn't dare to let outside men in so casually."
The concubines standing beside Zhan Ruyi were whispering among themselves. Their conversation was filled with jealousy and jealousy towards the Heavenly Empress.
Most of them were discussing another topic. Most of the concubines had seen Miao Yi in the Imperial Garden before. After all, Miao Yi was once the Imperial Garden's Chief Commander, and had stood by the Imperial Garden's side for so many years.
"He became a lieutenant at such a young age and became a duke. I'm afraid even the descendants of the nobles have never heard of him. He's so lucky."
"Luck? He led half a Tiger Flag Division to defeat a million elites. His name shook the world, and he even made waves in the imperial court. This isn't something that can be achieved by luck. It's all about ability. "
"He's climbing the ranks really fast. I wonder if he'll be able to sit in the imperial court one day."
"I'm afraid he won't be able to. The Nether Hell has too many restrictions. I don't think His Majesty will let the Heavenly Palace have too much power."
