Chapter 208 Everyone in the Ji family looked solemn, except for Fang Chen and the others who looked indifferent.
Ji Junhua looked at Fang Chen, then at Ji Congyun, and lowered his voice and said, "Dad, this is the Hongmen Banquet."
At this time, Ji Lengxing and the younger generation had no role to speak and could only stand aside and listen obediently.
Those of the same generation as Ji Junhua looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
"Prince Fang, what do you think?"
Ji Congyun looked at Fang Chen.
"You can't tell when you're eating."
Fang Chen smiled.
While eating? Everyone looked strange, but seeing Fang Chen so calm, the solemnity in their hearts also faded a bit.
At this moment, a servant of the Ji family hurried in and reported respectfully: "There is news from the palace that the fourth princess Han Qin has returned, and traveling with her is Lin Li, the son of the general of the White Tiger Empire, and two immortal masters from the sixth-grade empire!"
Immortal master of the sixth-grade empire! Everyone looked slightly startled and felt horrified. They really didn't expect that the Emperor of Hanshui Kingdom could invite such a person.
Ji Congyun was a little emotional.
This is the reason why the Ji family has never been able to truly take over the Hanshui Kingdom. If it weren't for Fang Chen's appearance this time, the Ji family would have had no chance at all to secure their position as the second oldest family in ten thousand years.
After the servants retreated, Ji Congyun looked at Fang Chen again, with a hint of worry in his eyes: "Prince Fang, the White Tiger Empire invited an immortal master from the sixth-grade empire. The matter we discussed before, I'm afraid..."
"You do your part, and I will take care of the rest."
Fang Chen smiled lightly and said: "Immortal masters are also divided into strong and weak ones. How many immortal masters have died?"
Everyone felt a slight chill in their hearts, with a look of disdain on their faces. Only Fang Chen could talk about the immortal master's life and death so easily.
Not long after, Fang Chen and Ji Congyun set off for the palace together.
I happened to meet Song Yi on the way. Judging from his pale and exhausted look, he must have been kneeling in Handi Port for a month.
When Song Yi saw Fang Chen and the two of them, he immediately lowered his head and showed a look of shock after the two of them were far away.
"Brother Song, now that our Ji family and Prince Fang have joined forces, please don't take the past matters to heart."
Ji Lengxing appeared next to Song Yi and patted him on the shoulder.
"clear."
Song Yi nodded repeatedly.
But he immediately reacted and joined forces?What does it mean?He quickly asked, but Ji Lengxing just smiled, with a look of expectation in his eyes: "Don't ask, maybe you will know in a while."
For this dinner, all civil and military officials from Hanshui Kingdom were invited. When Fang Chen and Ji Congyun arrived at the palace, they saw many luxurious carriages parked outside.
As soon as the two arrived, they attracted the attention of the nobles, but they seemed to have noticed something and did not come forward to say hello to them.
Only some officials belonging to the Ji family dared to step forward and salute.
They looked solemn and hesitated to speak, but Ji Congyun just smiled, continued talking to Fang Chen, and entered the palace surrounded by people.
In the huge palace, people were taking their seats one after another, two hundred on the left, two hundred on the right, a total of four hundred seats, making the palace very lively.
Fang Chen sat next to Ji Congyun and looked at a group of young people opposite him staring at him with unkind eyes. He casually smiled and said, "Are these all the children of the royal family?"
Ji Congyun glanced at it and nodded slightly.
In addition to the group of young disciples staring at Fang Chen, some powerful ministers at the seats were also secretly sizing up and observing, with a flash of thought in their eyes from time to time.
It wasn't until the Emperor of Hanshui Kingdom showed up that they diverted their attention.
"My dear friends, there is no need to be polite. Today is just a common meal, so just treat it as if you are at home."
After the Emperor of Hanshui Kingdom took his seat, he raised his hand and Congyun glanced at the four empty seats next to the other party, and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, I wonder where the distinguished guest that Eunuch Lin mentioned is?"
The hall suddenly became a little quiet.
The Emperor of Hanshui Kingdom glanced at the four empty seats and suddenly chuckled: "Mr. Ji, there is no need to be anxious. My dear, they will be here soon."
"Your Majesty, is it true that the fourth princess is back?"
A minister asked curiously.
Everyone exchanged glances with each other. Although they had some information, they were not sure yet.
If Han Qin really returns, today's meal will be very extraordinary.
Han Qin was sent to the Shifang Sect of the White Tiger Empire to practice martial arts since he was a child. He was a genius, otherwise he would not have been favored by the Shifang Sect.
There have long been rumors that she has already taken a step ahead of the original ancestor of the royal family and set foot in the realm of Tianxuan! "Yes, my little girl learned that the Hanshui Kingdom has been uneasy recently, and she plans to come back before heading to the Sixth-Rank Empire."
The Emperor of Hanshui Kingdom nodded slightly.
As soon as these words came out, both the officials from the Ji family and the royal family were all shocked.
The fourth princess, Han Qin, is going to the sixth-grade empire! ?
"My little girl is very talented and has been chosen by the Immortal Master of the Sixth Grade Empire to serve at her side. She will practice in the Immortal Master Sect in the future.
You also know that there is no time in the mountains. Those immortal masters may stay in seclusion for more than ten or twenty years. I am afraid that my daughter will not be able to come back often in the future. "
The Emperor of Hanshui Kingdom sighed.
The originally silent atmosphere gradually became warm, and the ministers from the Emperor Protector faction became extremely excited and looked at Fang Chen and Ji Congyun from time to time during the dinner.
Although Ji Congyun remained calm, a hint of horror flashed deep in his eyes.
The fourth princess, Han Qin, was spotted by an immortal master?
"By the way, in addition to my daughter, Mr. Lin Lilin, the son of the general of the White Tiger Empire, is also here. Also arriving with them are two immortal masters. These two immortal masters were born in the sixth-grade empire and have orthodox inheritance. Wait a minute. Don’t hesitate.”
The emperor of Hanshui Kingdom said.
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Fang Chen and Ji Congyun, and he said with a smile: "You two, can they be considered distinguished guests?"
"Of course he is a distinguished guest."
Ji Congyun nodded silently.
Fang Chen smiled and said nothing.
But in the eyes of everyone, Fang Chen was afraid. The princes and princesses all looked gloating, looking forward to the next scene in their hearts.
While everyone was talking, four figures appeared outside the door.
The leaders were Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Sister Wang, followed by Han Qin and Lin Li.
The discussion immediately stopped. Everyone looked at the two leaders and subconsciously stood up.
Ji Congyun originally wanted to get up, but when he saw Fang Chen sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and sat motionless in his seat.
Everyone stood up to greet them, but the two of them were still sitting, suddenly standing out from the crowd.
Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Sister Wang both looked at Fang Chen with amusement in their eyes.
Han Qin stared at Fang Chen, not hiding the murderous intent in her heart.
Lin Li squinted his eyes. He wanted to see how a little bug from a ninth-grade empire could obtain the fate of immortality and set foot on the immortal path! (End of this chapter)
