C68 Arctium lanceolata Thunb.

When Shen Lingjue's intentions and feelings were completely exposed in front of Feng Ningyan, she panicked and was helpless. She did not even know if she should believe his words.

Everything that had happened in her previous life flashed past her eyes, causing her to recall the Shen Youhuang back then. How gentle, how considerate …

However, when he took off the layer of human skin, what he revealed was the face of an animal, a beast that had mercilessly killed its own son, and even used the cruelest way to kill its wife.

These words were as though they were highly toxic. No matter how strong one was, they would all be paralyzed by them.

Only, Feng Ningyan was no longer the same easily moved person from her previous life.

If a person's heart was filled with hatred and fear, no amount of sunlight could melt the ice in her heart.

Feng Ningyan happened to be like this, hating the people who had harmed her in her previous life. She was afraid that the Feng Family and Ning Nanjun would face calamity, and their loved ones would suffer a miserable death …

She slowly placed her hand on Shen Lingjue's back and gently patted him: "Your Highness, I … I'm just joking. Why are you being so serious? "It's not like you anymore."

Shen Lingjue hugged her tightly in shock, but smiled slightly.

"It looks like what this duke has given is indeed not the answer that wangfei wants. How about three cups of wine? "

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass and drank three cups in a row.

The osmanthus wine, which had been so sweet, fell on his tongue and throat, but was cold and bitter.

"You want to share it all by yourself again? The empress dowager obviously rewarded me! "

Feng Ningyan also laughed, snatching the jar of wine from his hands, raising her head, she gulped it down.

The two of them had a huge amount of wine, and since a single jar wasn't enough, they ordered someone to take out a few bottles from the wine cellar. They were all drunk, regardless of the fact that it was just a matter of time.

This was the fourth time that Lan Zhu came in to deliver food. Seeing that the two of them were drunk under the table, she quickly called for her masters to help them up onto the bed.

The two of them were stripped down to their underwear and covered by a quilt.

Feng Ningyan turned left and kicked the blanket, placing her leg on Shen Lingjue's body, she fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep had been too pleasant for him. Knowing that it was the middle of the night, Feng Ningyan finally woke up with a little dizziness.

She vaguely felt as if there was something hot beside her. She closed her eyes to take off the straps on her shirt as she mumbled, "Why is it so hot …"

Faintly, she opened her eyes and saw a person lying beside her.

She somewhat did not believe him, thinking that she was dreaming. She rubbed her eyes, and that person's face became even clearer.

"Shen … Shen Lingjue?! " The moment she sat up, she looked down and saw that the collar of her robe had been untied.

She trembled in fear and quickly wrapped up her clothes again. She stretched out her hands to wake Shen Lingjue up but saw that he was still sleeping soundly.

His peerlessly handsome face had a serene and tranquil beauty when he slept. The corner of his lips slightly curled up. He clearly didn't have a smile, but he seemed to be happy.

His sword-like eyebrows were as if they were painted, and his valiant air was oppressing. Every single one of his brows was pointed neatly towards his temples, condensing into a sharp blade.

His eyelashes were long and thick as ink, curving up to the point where she couldn't help but want to fiddle with them.

Thinking about this, Feng Ningyan really couldn't resist extending her hand out, using her fingertips to stroke Shen Lingjue's eyelashes …

He felt uncomfortable so he slightly frowned and turned his face away.

Feng Ningyan could not help but laugh, but she felt that her head was aching from the headache, and she was powerless to tease Yue Yang anymore. She quietly laid down, covered Yue Yang up with her blanket, turned his back to him, and slept close to the bed.

Just then, Shen Lingjue woke up from her hunger.

Opening his eyes, he discovered that he was lying in the middle of a red phoenix tent, wrapped in a red tinge of joy.

He suddenly sat up, only to see Feng Ningyan, who was uncovered, hugging each other and sleeping by the side of the bed …

His sword-like brows knitted slightly as he lightly covered her with the blanket that carried his warmth, then tightly hugged her from behind.

It was already morning when he hugged her. The sky was already bright.

"Feng Ningyan, stop dreaming, get up quickly."

He whispered in her ear, so softly that she thought he was dreaming.

When she woke up and saw him wrapped around her, she blushed.

"Your Highness …" She hurriedly jumped off the bed. "What time is it now …"

"Chenchen." Shen Lingjue laughed, she got up and sat on the side of the bed, and called for the servants outside to help him wash up.

Feng Ningyan was anxious: "I got drunk yesterday and delayed Your Highness from coming to court right?"

Shen Lingjue shook her head: "It's fine, the main event today is not the morning assembly, it's the luncheon."

As he spoke, he opened the wardrobe and selected a low-key, luxurious clothes for Feng Ningyan.

Seeing that he had chosen the official palace uniform, Feng Ningyan knew what the luncheon party he had mentioned was.

"Could it be that today is the day of the Yellow River crescent's stone reward?"

"No," Shen Lingjue smiled mysteriously and said softly, "Appreciating the stone might be the most important thing, but today, this king is going to give Princess Consort a huge gift."

Feng Ningyan was pleasantly surprised, but seeing that he was deliberately mystifying, she knew that if he were to ask him about it, she would definitely not reveal the answer so quickly.

"Then I really must wash my eyes and ears, and wait for His Highness' main show to start."

She knew that he had been rather busy recently. Sometimes, he would close the door to his study to discuss things with Jing Qi, and no one was allowed to get close to him.

He just didn't expect that his plans would be revealed so quickly.

At noon, all the officials and concubine s punctually came to the Bo Wen Hall in the Tian Heng Sect. Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan were among them.

This stone viewing feast was set up with a hundred feasts.

Separated by the cross path in the middle of the courtyard outside the library, the tables were arranged neatly.

Waiting for everyone to return to normal, the thirty-nine people of Qintian prison lined up into three neat rows, opening the path for the emperor.

Emperor Shen Chenxuan sat on the Dragon Carriage and was carried by eunuchs to the high platform at the entrance of the Bo Wen Hall, beside a huge boulder covered with red cloth.

At the side, the officials of the Ministry of Rites announced that the auspicious hour had arrived. Below the stage, the Queen also walked to the center of the stage.

Shen Chenxuan then said, "The Yellow River has changed its route, and crescent have appeared at the bottom of the river. On the stone, we have the pattern of Yue Yao on the flag of my Great Yue State. "I believe that this is a unique stone, and I especially invite all of you to share it with me!"

Wen Jianzheng, the chief warlock of the Qintian prison, hurriedly walked to the side of the emperor and knelt down, saying, "My Great Yue State's Martial Ancestor Emperor has obtained the Imperial Jade Seal and has followed the orders of the heavens to subdue all the countries. Since the founding of the Kingdom, our Emperor has striven to rule by the best means, allowing the Great Yue State to prosper. For example, the arrival of the crescent today was an auspicious omen that the heavens had blessed my Great Yue State with! Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor! The Radix Macrocephalae will live on for eternity! Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor! "

Wen Jianzheng shouted "Long live" and passed a long golden handle to the Emperor.

Feng Ningyan and Shen Lingjue stood shoulder to shoulder in the second row, and couldn't help but sneer when they saw Wen Jianzheng flattering them.

This godly stick, just based on its deceptive mouth, was able to become a big red person that the Emperor trusted. It was really too unreasonable.

At this moment, the empress raised her skirt and knelt on the ground. The people behind her all knelt down as well, their voices deafening.

What a joyful Shen Chenxuan, looked at the group of officials and royalty who had knelt down, looked down at everyone, and said: "My beloved ones, please stand and watch!"

With that, he used his golden handle to pick up the red cloth from the huge boulder. The red cloth floated down to the ground, and the crescent that had been told a long time ago finally appeared in front of everyone.
