After the ministers followed Xia Qi into the palace, the other eunuchs began to lead them one by one to their seats.

Duke Chu and General Lin were respectively seated on the second seat on the left side of the Monarch's seat, while the Mu King's Manor was on the second seat on the right side of the Monarch's seat.

In the end, only when the first spot on his right hand was empty, did Mu Han Xiao slowly bring Imperial Concubine Mu in under the protection of a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

"Welcome, Monarch and Imperial Concubine Mu!" Everyone knelt down in unison to pay their respects.

"No need to be so courteous, officials!" Mu Hanxue had a faint smile on her face as she brought Imperial Concubine Mu to sit at his seat. Only then did the rest return to their seats.

Mu Hanxiao's gaze paused on the empty seat to his right for a moment before he continued, "Today is the Spring Festival, even though it's a national banquet, it's still a family banquet. Esteemed officials, do not be restrained!" With that said, he waved his right hand and Xia Qi immediately announced, "The national banquet …"

Before Xia Qi could finish his words, a report came from the outside, "Prince Chen and Princess Chen are here!"

Mu Han, who was at the top, looked up at the door in shock. They're coming …

He saw two figures in the distance — one purple and one black. The purple figure was as beautiful as a noble purple rose, while the black figure was as noble as a god that could not be desecrated.

As a Monarch, he actually felt inferior in front of Yun Che.

When they stepped onto the palace steps, everyone at the banquet shifted their gazes onto them.

Those gazes were filled with all kinds of meanings, some were stunning, some were amazed, and some were even surprised and confused …

What was shocking was the appearance of Chu Moxi and Shang Chen, and what was surprising was Mu Shang Chen's identity.

"Greetings, Monarch." Mu Shangchen and Chu Moxie stopped in the middle of the hall. They only slightly nodded their heads towards Mu Hanyi, giving him enough face.

Mu Hanyue's eyes stared unblinkingly at the two people in the middle of the hall. He was not displeased by their rudeness, which was to be expected.

He did not say anything, but it was Chu Mingjing who was the first from the left who spoke, "Prince Chen, Crown Princess, how dare you not kneel when you see the Emperor?"

Shang Chen did not say anything. He just stood there lightly. Today was his home ground, he could just watch silently.

Chu Mo Xi raised her head and looked at Chu Ming Jing with a ridiculing gaze. He was dressed in clean court uniform and his face was filled with the same cold and disdainful expression as before.

Chu Moxie pursed her lips and coldly said, "We, husband and wife, will only kneel before people who deserve to kneel."

"How dare you!" Since a Monarch was a monarch, wasn't it worth for you to kneel? Everyone who belongs to the Mu Ling Empire has to kneel down and kowtow nine times, who do you think you are? Yet, you are actually so arrogant and did not place a Monarch in your eyes? " Chu Jingjing immediately grabbed onto Chu Moxi's words and forced her to do so step by step.

Last time when Xiao Han Tower had made a move on the Duke's Mansion, Chu Mingjing had always thought that the Emperor didn't know the secret that he, Chu Mingjing, was at the border. Instead, he thought that the Emperor was angry at the Duke's Mansion because of the Prince's Mansion.

Mu Hanyi silently watched, while he acted like an outsider instead.

"I'm nothing. I'm just Chu Moxi, who broke off her relationship with the Duke Chu Family. I'm from the ordinary Fu Family, the impoverished Duke Chen Palace." Chu Moxi's tone was light, as if she was talking about someone else.

Chu Mo Xi's words caused Chu Ming's complexion to change from green to white. "You …"

Chu Moxie sneered. Her gaze slowly moved to Mu Hanyi's body. Then, she revealed a strange smile and said in a clear voice, "Then, can the Emperor please tell me yourself just which part of you is worthy for us to kneel to?"

The moment Chu Moxi's words came out, the atmosphere in the hall turned strange.

The Crown Princess had the guts to tell the emperor that no matter where he went, it wouldn't be worth it for them to kneel down to him.

Hearing Chu Moxi's words, Mu Hanyue's expression suddenly darkened. She knew the meaning behind her words.

Assassinating his younger brother and wife while plundering them was an unforgivable act.

Mu Hanyue's gaze shifted from Chu Moxie to Mu Shang Chen, who was standing behind her. The faint chill unexpectedly caused Mu Hanyue to shiver uncontrollably.

As if noticing Mu Hanyi's hesitation, Chu Moxi's lips curled up.

"How dare you, Crown Princess Chen …" Chu Mingjing shouted once again, but was interrupted by Chu Moxi who was about to laugh, "Duke Chu, the Emperor has yet to speak. Yet you opened your mouth, are you …"

The moment Chu Moxi's words left her mouth, Chu Jingjing immediately felt a cold gaze shoot towards him.

Chu Mingjing was alarmed that he had overstepped his duties. He immediately kneeled on the ground, "Monarch, your subject …"

"Alright!" Duke Chu, you don't need to explain. This Emperor knows that … "Brother Chen, please have a seat with your sister-in-law!" Mu Hanxiao's face broke into a smile. Having caused such a ruckus, it was a good opportunity for him to step down.

Chu Moxie was not a person who would not spare anyone, let alone the fact that she was not here to talk.

He casually shrugged his shoulders, then pulled Mu Shang Chen to an empty seat and sat down.

The moment Chu Moxi and Shang Chen sat down, two fiery gazes immediately turned towards them. One was Mu Xuan, the other was Mu Xuan.

Mu Xuan saw how the foolish fiancé that she had once withdrawn from the marriage had unexpectedly entered the stage with such a high profile. Furthermore, his aura was even more imposing than before. Looking at Chu Moxi, Mu Xuanyin felt upset. She definitely had to pull this woman down from the position of Chen Royal Concubine, then she would return to the position of the Chen Royal Concubine.

She believed that she could charm Prince Chen all those years ago, and it was the same now.

On the other side, Mu Xuan's eyes were fixated on Shang Chen and Chu Moxi's bodies. A hint of bitterness emerged from the corner of his mouth. So, it was them …

"Shang Chen, long time no see!" After hesitating for a long time, Mu Xuan still decided to greet him.

"En!" A faint "hmm" was Shang Chen's reply. What was in the past was already a thing of the past. He had already repeated himself five years ago.

"Shang Chen, I …" Mu Xuan immediately came over to greet him.

On the other side, Chu Mu, who was constantly paying attention to the situation, immediately blocked Chu Moxi's path the moment he saw Mu Xuan approach Shang Chen.

"Prince Chen has such a good appearance and demeanor. I think Princess Xuan had to cancel the engagement. That's the only reason Princess Chen had such a chance!" The sound wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the people around them to hear.

Once he said that, the situation turned even weirder.

Everyone's eyes landed on Mu Xuan and Chu Moxi from the Mu King's Manor.

Princess Xuan ran over to cancel the engagement as soon as Prince Chen became an idiot. At that time, the entire capital knew about it.

Now that Prince Chen had recovered, what would happen when the current Crown Princess heard about his fiancee annulling the marriage again?

Before Chu Moxi could open her mouth to speak, Princess Xuan immediately retaliated. No matter what, she was still a princess. Furthermore, they were already at odds with each other, so how could she not retort?

"No one can compare to my little sister Mu Qian. Young Master Lin is the fiance of the Crown Princess!" As her little sister, you married her on the same day as her, and married her fiancé. With such a chance, I'm afraid you will be the only one in the entire Tian Ling Continent to be married off to her little sister. "

Holy shit, Princess Xuan's words were even more explosive! Two birds with one stone.

Hearing Chu Mu's words and Mu Xuanyin's, the smile on Chu Moxi's face did not change, "Chenchen, so it turns out that we are a perfect match! You were annulled by Princess Xuan, and this old lady was even annulled by the Eldest Young Master Lin of the General's Estate! Come, come, come, the heavens have bestowed upon us the gift of a goblet of wine! " As she spoke, Chu Mo Xi used the tea on the table as wine to make a toast with Shang Chen.

Puff! What kind of reaction was that?

No one expected that Chu Moxi would actually pull Shang Chen to have a drink as a response? Wasn't it supposed to be a big fight with Princess Xuan or Chu Mu?

A smile hung on Shang Chen's lips, he knew that his family's Xi Er had taken an unusual route.
