Ning Qi looked around and really found some clues. He immediately had an idea in his heart.
At this time, Immortal Master He and Xuan Chan 'er were already seated. With their status, they naturally sat next to the Empress Dowager.
Before the birthday celebration began, there would always be a gift giving segment. One by one, the gifts were sent out and the eunuchs announced loudly.
Every time someone gave a rare gift, the women around Ning Qi would exclaim in surprise.
The officials on the left would also say a few words of flattery. The person who gave the gift would smile and accept the flattery of the crowd. Then, he would look at the Empress Dowager and the Emperor with flattering eyes. After receiving their affirmation, he would be satisfied.
"Grandma, this time I specially picked an immortal grass as your birthday gift. This is longevity grass. Eating it can increase one's lifespan by one year. Even in Clear Jade Valley, it is very precious."
Xuan Chan 'er took out a sparkling green grass and said to the Empress Dowager with a smile.
Longevity grass?
Eating it can increase one's lifespan by one year?
Everyone gasped and looked at the spirit grass in Xuan Chan 'er's hand enviously. This was the means of an immortal. Saying it can increase one's lifespan.
What shocked them the most was that even Xuan Chan 'er could take out such a mysterious thing. Wouldn't Immortal Master He, a master of the immortal sects, have even more mysterious means?
It was evident from a single glance! "Empress Dowager, Chan'er is a very filial girl. This was originally a year-end reward given to her by the sect. She specially used it to exchange for a Longevity Grass. This thing is also not common in Jade Clear Valley. Coincidentally, an elder obtained some some some some time ago and left it in the sect. No one else can use it, so it was exchanged for Chan'er."
Immortal Master He smiled and stroked his beard.
"Chan 'er is very thoughtful, very thoughtful."
The Empress Dowager happily took the spirit grass and loved it.
"Grandma, when the birthday celebration is over, I will teach you how to use it."
Xuan Chan 'er said.
With Xuan Chan 'er's birthday gift, no matter how precious the other people's birthday gifts were, they were slightly inferior and could no longer surprise people. Soon, the birthday gifts of the imperial family on the high platform were sent out one by one.
The Second Madam also gave a round pearl the size of a pigeon's egg. It was also a very valuable treasure, but it was not outstanding among the many people.
"Grandma, I carved this myself. You and I are on it."
Xuan Zijun said while holding a jade sculpture.
"Zi Jun, why did you sit so far away? Quick, bring this jade carving to grandma."
The Empress Dowager smiled and waved her hand.
Xuan Zijun glanced at the Second Madam, and after getting her approval, he hurriedly carried the jade carving to the high platform.
However, her jade carving was a little rough, probably because she was new to it. Along the way, many people secretly sized up the jade carving, then shook their heads slightly.
After Xuan Zijun jumped onto the platform, he presented the jade carving to the Empress Dowager as if he was presenting a treasure.
Everyone approached to take a look, and they couldn't help but laugh.
"Your jade carving doesn't look like it at all. What are you carving?"
The Third Prince chuckled.
At this moment, the woman beside the austere prince smiled and said, "Zi Jun is still young and has just returned to the capital. It is not easy for you to make such a last-minute effort."
Last-Minute effort?
When the Second Madam heard what the First Madam said about Xuan Zijun, her face suddenly became pale.
Sure enough, the eyes of many royal family members on the high platform changed a little.
Xuan Chan 'er frowned and said, "You prepared a gift for grandma, why are you so careless?
You should have prepared it in advance. "
"Sister Chan 'er, I …" Xuan Zijun was stunned.
"You guys, don't ask too much of Zi Jun. It is already very kind of him to carve this jade carving for me."
The Empress Dowager smiled and tried to smooth things over.
But as soon as she finished speaking, the jade carving suddenly fell to the ground, and with a bang, it broke into pieces. The ordinary jade carving was now completely unrecognizable.
"Third Prince, how could you break my jade carving?"
Xuan Zijun said angrily.
"I didn't break it. I just wanted to get closer to take a look, but who knew it would fall to the ground by itself!"
The Third Prince hurriedly said.
"You …" Xuan Zijun's eyeballs kept rolling in his eye sockets.
"All right!"
The cold prince slowly said, "Go back to your mother's side."
"Father, I …" Xuan Zijun wanted to say something but stopped.
"Zi Jun, come back."
The Second Madam couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and waved at her.
Xuan Zijun angrily glared at the Third Prince and immediately ran down the high platform, returning to Ning Qi and the Second Madam.
"Mother, the Third Prince, he …" Xuan Zijun wanted to say something.
The Second Madam gently patted her head and said, "Mother knows, but today is your grandma's birthday. Let's find him later, okay?"
"Okay."
Xuan Zijun angrily nodded.
"Ninth Senior Sister, I'll help you vent your anger later."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Little brother, how are you going to help me get revenge?"
Xuan Zijun was curious.
Seeing this, the Second Madam smiled and shook her head, treating it as a child's joke.
But when the Third Prince on the high platform saw Ning Qi and Xuan Zijun sitting together, he loudly said, "The boy over there, the boy from the Grand Development Sect, it is you. You came to the Empress Dowager's birthday today, did you bring a gift?"
The Grand Development Sect?
Everyone's eyes fell on Ning Qi. Many women suddenly realized that he was a disciple of the Grand Development Sect. No wonder he could sit together with Xuan Zijun and Lady Liu.
"My gift has not arrived yet, I have to wait."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Haha, so you didn't prepare?"
The Third Prince joked.
"My son …" The Empress Dowager slowly opened her mouth.
The Third Prince quickly changed his expression. "Grandmother?"
"Don't make trouble."
The Empress Dowager said lightly.
"Yes, grandmother."
The Third Prince unwillingly nodded.
The gift giving was finally over. Next was the toast. The dishes and wine were brought to the table by the palace maids. After a few minutes, the atmosphere of the birthday party gradually rose.
"Immortal Master He, the Xuan Nation has been under the care of the Clear Jade Valley all these years. Let me toast to you."
The Emperor of the Xuan Nation raised his cup and smiled at Immortal Master He.
Everyone suddenly stopped talking and looked at the two.
Immortal Master He was a little startled and looked at the wine in front of him. As a cultivator, he would never drink this kind of wine. But today, the Emperor of the Xuan Nation was toasting to him, so he could only take a sip.
Immortal Master He nodded and took a sip. Then, he smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, you are being too polite."
But the next moment, he immediately smashed the cup in his hand and shouted angrily, "The wine is poisoned!"
What?
The wine is poisoned?
Everyone was a little confused by this sudden change of events.
"Immortal Master He, how can this wine be poisoned …" The Emperor of the Xuan Nation exclaimed.
In the next second, someone immediately answered him.
"This wine is indeed poisoned. Junior Brother He, this is the" Yuan Dispersing Medicine "I specially prepared for you. What do you think of the taste?"
Two silhouettes arrived in the air. One of them was a middle-aged Daoist with long hair, smiling at Immortal Master He.
