The State of Yue has a lifespan of 784 years, and the empress dowager has an eightieth birthday.

The white jade flooring stretched all the way to the back garden, where a string of flaming lanterns connected half of the palace.

Vermillion window carving, sandalwood incense, colored glass screen, bamboo curtain, carved out of the air purple sandalwood table and chairs placed neatly.

The imperial kitchens had been prepared since early in the morning. The 108 tables were filled with Han people along with Chen Nu Nu and Hong Qi. The fragrance had already spread outside the Vermillion Bird Courtyard, causing the commoners around the imperial city to salivate.

The Imperial Palace was extremely beautiful, and there was no place that it could not see the prosperity that belonged to the Moon Kingdom.

Civil and military officials, foreign envoys, nobles, and even large sects from the martial arts world were all gathered here to pay their respects to the old star.

The imperial government and the martial arts world were not the opposite of each other. They embraced each other and improved together, which resulted in the State of Yue being the richest existence among the twelve kingdoms. It was only second to the Liuqiu Kingdom.

Although this was the empress dowager's birthday banquet, everyone was well aware that the young masters and mistresses of each family had arrived early. At the same time, it was also a grand marriage alliance between the royal families.

The young ladies who normally would not leave their doors, but could wear beautiful dresses today, gathered together with the young masters of the crown prince's family, drinking wine and chatting merrily.

If you see the right person, you can negotiate with your parents at home and choose a good day. In the future, you can come and propose marriage and promote a pair of good things.

To put it bluntly, it was a blind date meeting between young men and women.

During this period of time, Nian Yun Chen had also been slowly making the twigs reduce the amount of bundles of cloth on his body. From a foreign point of view, Nian Yun Chen was slowly losing weight.

He looked no different from an ordinary slim girl, but he still wore a thick mask. Whenever someone wanted to look at his face, he would borrow the fact that he was too ugly. If he did, he wouldn't be able to eat the entire Han Dynasty.

Everyone firmly believed that. After all, the previous Nian Yun Chen was really ugly. They didn't want to take the risk of seeing her face. If she vomited, how much of an impact would it affect their demeanor?

Early on in the morning, the empress dowager happily sat at the head of the table, calling out to the External Affairs Emissaries and keeping the emperor busy. After all, the dukes had come this time, so the imperial families inside and outside the imperial city usually didn't care.

As for the remaining guests, they were arranged by the Minister of Rites.

Nian Yun Chen was a person who hated people, so naturally no one would care about him.

Instead, it was she who found a familiar figure!

At this moment, Gu Changfeng was also in the convention! It looked like the empress dowager's birthday banquet this time was rather grand. Even the Crown Prince of the Glazed Ball Kingdom had been invited!

"Zhang Feng!" Nian Yun came forward excitedly and shouted once before finally reacting!

No! Right now, she was dressed like this and had an exaggerated makeup painted on her face. Gu Changfeng would definitely not be able to recognize her, nor would he be able to recognize her.

Although Nian Yun Chen planned to throw away his identity today, it was not the time to do so. If Gu Changfeng were to say so earlier, then there would be no hope for annulling the engagement!

When Gu Changfeng heard the sound, he immediately turned his head. At the same time, Nian Yun Chen quickly turned his head back and walked in the opposite direction of Gu Changfeng, heading towards the pond.

Gu Changfeng frowned, "Did I hear it wrong?"

Rushing Thunder also said, "That's right, Mistress. This time we came in my name, to play around. You sneaked out, and now you're acting as my guard. You're already dressed like this, how could anyone recognize you?"

The two of them thought it was just a hallucination, so they didn't pay much attention to it and continued to watch the performance onstage.

It just so happened that Nian Yun arrived at this inconspicuous pond and heard a man and a woman whispering to each other.

I only overheard it, not overheard it.

Thus, she lifted up her skirt and tiptoed to the shade of the small pond.

"Imperial Mother, this time, you have to uphold justice for this son. Since this is Granny's birthday, and there are so many witnesses, Royal Father shouldn't refuse."

"But, Chu Yun, the late emperor made this marriage contract. You can't just change it because he said so."

Xiao Shiyun panicked. His tone was filled with deep helplessness.

"Queen Mother!" You still don't know what kind of woman Nian Yun Chen is? That fool, how can your son swallow such a noble appearance?! "

In reality, before Xiao Shiyun met Jiu Mo, although he did not like Nian Yun, he would not say it in such a way. He just felt that they were just the victims of an imperial marriage.

But now?

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Right now, Xiao Shiyun's heart was filled with longing for Jiumu Mo, and he couldn't bear to tolerate anyone else. Even the most beautiful girl couldn't enter his eyes, let alone Jiu Yun who was obsessed with ugliness.

Furthermore, Xiao Shiyun did not like the appearance of Jiumu Mo. After all, he had not seen what Jiumu Mo looked like.

He was sincere towards Jiu Mo!

"But …" The empress was hesitant as to whether she should help her son. In truth, her son was the crown prince, and a piece of meat had fallen off his body. How could the empress not feel sorry for him?

"Don't but Imperial Mother! "This son will definitely not marry that Lady Jiu Mo!" Xiao Shiyun insisted.

"Alright!" Seeing her son's resolute expression, the empress finally gritted her teeth and nodded. "Imperial Mother will definitely help you this time!"

"Thank you mother!"

Deep in the clouds, the corners of Nian Yun's mouth drew a meaningful arc as he snickered.

"So even the crown prince wants to use this opportunity to cancel the engagement. That would save me a lot of thought, but …" He fell in love with the other me? I really look forward to seeing what kind of expression Xiao Shiyun will have when he knows that he's in the depths of the Nine Mo Continent. "

After obtaining the support of the empress, his mood was exceptionally clear. Coming out from the small pond, even his steps had become lighter. It seemed that Xiao Shiyun really hated Nian Yun!

The small black fox was hidden under the table. As he ate, he placed the plate on top of the table under the table. A long cloth covered the scene under the table.

No one would know that there was a high level soul pet below.

Soon, the Ministry of Rites began announcing that it was time for the guests to present a performance and a gift to Her Majesty.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the stage.

A voice as gentle as water sounded out, "Imperial Mother, can you let chenqie perform first?"

The one who spoke was the one known as the peerless and virtuous Imperial Consort Hui.

The empress dowager looked at Esteemed Empress Dowager with satisfaction and smiled. "Then let Esteemed Empress be the leader."
