Chapter 405: Miss Her So Much

Just when everyone gathered around Qi Baijun and Qi Gaoshen, the chief eunuch suddenly shouted: "The Emperor and the Empress arrive!"

As soon as his sharp voice sounded, everyone returned to their seats and knelt on the ground with their foreheads touching the ground. When the emperor and the empress sat down, everyone said in unison: "Long live the Emperor for ten thousand years! Long live the Empress for a thousand years!"

A few seconds later, Qi Liju’s majestic voice sounded in the spacious hall. "My royal ministers, please stand up."

After receiving his permission to stand up, everyone present respectfully said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When everyone stood up, Qi Liju smiled at them and said, "Today is Rui Wang’s victory celebration banquet. Everyone should enjoy the banquet at ease and relax. There is no need to go through any formalities. Take a seat."

As soon as his words came out, everyone present bowed deeply and said again: "This subordinate obeyed!"

Seeing that everyone had already sat down, the Emperor waved his hand and said, "Start the banquet."

As soon as he finished speaking, rows of maidservants walked into the banquet hall while carrying trays. They arranged the banquet tables in an orderly manner and then retreated silently.

Before long after the maidservants left, a group of beautiful dancers in revealing costumes walked into the banquet hall and started dancing in the center of the hall as soon as the music began. Although the emperor said that they could enjoy the banquet at ease and relax, no one dared to truly be at ease.

While the ministers and generals were watching the dancers twisting their body like a snake and enjoying the banquet, the empress glanced at her son from time to time. Seeing that Qi Baijun was still drinking and chatting with Chen Yiwei calmly, the empress held her handkerchief anxiously.

Seeing her son being called back by the emperor and living a leisurely life after returning to the imperial capital city, she felt increasingly anxious day after day. Moreover, this time Rui Wang returns with victory. She was worried that her son’s status in the court would be threatened, but the person involved just didn’t care.

As if aware of his mother’s anxious gaze, Qi Baijun raised his eyes and looked at his mother. When their eyes met in the air, Qi Baijun raised his cup to toast his mother with a smile. Seeing her son like this, the empress could only suppress her uneasiness.

The empress put on a stiff smile on her beautiful face, raised her cup and took a sip of tribute peach blossom wine from the Qin Kingdom. It was indeed the best tribute wine. The mellow, fragrant and slightly sweet taste of the peach blossom wine soothed her uneasy heart.

Qi Liju sat on the main seat and noticed the exchange between the empress and his seventh son. He observed Qi Baijun’s calm expression and smiled with satisfaction. As expected of his most beloved son, Qi Baijun lived up to his expectations. The more Qi Liju looked at Qi Baijun, the more satisfied he became.

While the palace of the Bei Wei Empire was filled with laughter and music until the sky darkened, the members of Moon Pavilion were busy saving as many lives as possible. The reasons for their strange behavior are not as beautiful or pure as those of common people’s thought.

The only reason why they are doing this is because they need as many living people as possible to gather enough energy to activate the main space gate. If too many people die before they can harvest enough energy, everything they have done so far will become worthless.

When the Shang Empire fell into another dark night and the huge power shift shook the imperial court of the Bei Wei Empire, Xu Xiang, who was far away in the Western Regions, was sitting by the lake inside her space.

While enjoying the fresh air after taking a shower, she stared at Mu Yucheng, who was still sitting in the middle of the lake pavilion, with his body shrouded in dense golden light. After staring at him for several hours, she felt that the golden light became denser by the second.

Now, all she could see was a ball of golden light in the middle of the lake pavilion. She couldn’t even see his figure anymore. She suddenly felt lonely, pursed her lips, then angrily pulled the grass blades beside her and muttered: "If you continue to ignore me, I won’t care about you anymore!"

After saying that, she threw away the grass, stood up, and left her space. The moment she left, the man who was still shrouded in golden light frowned deeply, and the surrounding spiritual energy also became turbulent.

When Xu Xiang’s breath disappeared from the space, Mu Yucheng felt anxious, as he missed her so much.Unfortunately, he was in a dangerous period of breaking through and couldn’t be distracted at all.

Not knowing how Mu Yucheng felt, Xu Xiang appeared in her small tent. As soon as she walked out of the tent, she saw A Lu Ge coming. Seeing her coming out of the tent, A Lu Ge trotted towards her with a bright smile on his young face.

"Xu Xiang, are you having a good rest?" He asked as soon as he stood in front of her.

Nodding her head, Xu Xiang said, "Mhm. Why are you here?"

A Lu Ge looked at her and asked, "Did you forget that we have a celebration banquet tonight?"

After staying in her space for a few days, she indeed forgot about the celebration banquet. She looked at him with a little bit of guilt in her eyes and asked, "Has the party started?"

A Lu Ge nodded and said, "Um. Everyone has already started the banquet. You know, I sneaked into the kitchen before I came here. They prepared a lot of food that I had never seen before. When I saw those foods, I knew it must be very delicious!"
