C267 The War of the Imperial Court

The banquet was filled with the sounds of wine and bamboo.

The reason for this banquet was to celebrate Duan Yunfei's return from victory, so even if the empress had purposely declined to make things difficult for him, Yuwen Di did not say anything more.

"Today, we are hosting a feast in order to defeat the enemy, decapitate the Golden Horde Kingdom and drive them out of our borders. This is truly a matter to be congratulated on. " Yuwen Di sat on top of the great hall, and waved the wine cup in his hand towards everyone. So, no need to stand on ceremony, just enjoy yourself. "

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The ministers were replying below, and the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became lively.

Taking advantage of the crowd moving around at the banquet, Duan Yunfei pretended to inadvertently walk over to Mu Chuyang's side.

"You still have a wound on your shoulder, so you should drink less." Duan Yunfei turned her face and refused to look at Mu Chuyang, and said to Mu Chuyang in a low voice.

"Huh?" Mu Chuyang opened his eyes wide and looked at Duan Yunfei, not understanding what she meant.

"Ah what?" Duan Yunfei regained her senses, looked at Mu Chuyang with her eyes wide open, and scolded him in a low voice.

It was only now that Mu Chuyang realized that Duan Yunfei was concerned about him, and couldn't help but laugh. He cupped his hands towards Duan Yunfei and said: "Thank you for your concern Thirteenth Princess, I will definitely remember Thirteenth Princess's instructions and take good care of my injuries."

"Did you find it convenient to use the tonic I sent you that day?" Due to the chaos in the palace, the two of them did not say much since they came in. Now that everyone was busy chatting and walking around, no one paid any attention to them.

Mu Chuyang hurriedly nodded, "Thank you Thirteenth Princess for your concern. The herbs that the princess has sent over are the best, so it is naturally easy to use. I eat and apply the food day in and day out. The injury on my shoulder has almost healed. "

Hearing Mu Chuyang's words, Duan Yunfei's heart calmed down a bit. She smiled at Mu Chuyang as if she was a shy little girl, and continued to speak to Mu Chuyang in a low voice: "If you like it, I'll get someone to give it to you tomorrow. The weather is getting colder and colder now, so you should at least heal the injury on your shoulder first."

Seeing Duan Yunfei's sincere face, Mu Chuyang immediately waved his hands at her and said: "No need, the things that the princess gave me last time is already enough for me to eat, no need to send anyone else over."

The two of them were standing at the side and talking softly. Suddenly, a figure came out from behind them, fiercely patting Duan Yunfei on the shoulder, calling him "Cousin sister".

Duan Yunfei was shocked.

She turned her head to look behind her and saw a very delicate face. The eyes of the man in front of her flickered as he stared at her. He was wearing a black robe and had his hands behind his back. The corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.

"Wu Shan." Duan Yunfei shouted, and tightly grabbed onto the sleeves of the man in front of him, and said with an excited expression: "It's really you."

Wu Shan nodded at Duan Yunfei, and also happily pulled Duan Yunfei's sleeves, then smiled at her: "It's me, Cousin. I found out that my cousin won the battle, so I came back specially to congratulate you."

Ever since Imperial Consort Duanshuo passed away, the Old Master of Wu Family was extremely sad. She led her entire family out of the capital and swore that in order to remember her daughter, Imperial Consort Duanshuo, he would never step into the Forbidden City again.

The man in front of him was called Wu Shan, Uncle Duan Yunfei's son. He was born in a family of generals like the Wu Family. Although he was still young, the Emperor ordered him to command the Imperial Palace's Imperial Guard and give him a reward to the Wu Family.

"It has been a long time since we last met. Why have you become so talkative now?" "Hearing Wu Shan's words, Duan Yunfei reached out and lightly knocked on Wu Shan's head. The one who is by the side would never learn how to seduce people. He deserves to be beaten. "

Hearing Duan Yunfei say that, Wu Shan also pretended to bow towards him, and said with a serious face: "Cousin learning, is right, we should fight."

"Have you visited your father these days?" Duan Yunfei suddenly remembered as she asked Wu Shan.

Wu Shan nodded his head, "I just returned home to visit a few days ago, father is fine, I hope Thirteenth Princess does not worry too much about it."

Imperial Consort Duanshuo passed away too early, Duan Yunfei's uncle had always treated Duan Yunfei as her own daughter.

"I have been busy at the palace these past few days. When two days are up, I will personally pay a visit to my uncle." When Duan Yunfei heard that his uncle was doing well, she smiled and said to Wu Shan.

Wu Shan listened and nodded his head, "Since it's like this, then I have long prepared my cousin's favorite food and tea, and will be waiting for her big armor."

Hearing Wu Shan's words, Duan Yunfei couldn't help but smile, and her eyes turned into a deep crescent moon, becoming especially bright.

"These few days, Wu Shan was on guard duty in the capital, and he had to bow in respect to his family. It has truly been hard on him." Mu Chuyang reached out and patted Wu Shan's shoulders, then said to him with a smile: "You're still young, to be able to create something like this already isn't easy. Work hard, you must have some accomplishments in the future."

Only now did Duan Yunfei realize that the person standing beside Duan Yunfei was Young Prince Mu Chuyang.

Wu Shan stretched out his hand, and respectfully bowed to Mu Chuyang. Greetings Young Prince. "

"There's no need to be so courteous between us. Hurry up and get up." Seeing that, Mu Chuyang quickly supported Wu Shan up, and said to Wu Shan with a smile.

"I heard that a few days ago, Young Prince Mu was injured on the battlefield. Wu Shan looked into Mu Chuyang's eyes and asked him with a face full of concern.

Mu Chuyang laughed and waved his hand, revealing an expression of indifference. It was only a small wound, there was no need for Young Master Wu to worry. Instead, Young Master Wu has now become the Commander of the Imperial Guards and is protecting the safety of the palace.

Just as the three of them were talking, Zuo Yuanyuan also pulled Xiu Huang and ran in front of Duan Yunfei. She did not say a word, and only smiled foolishly.

Instead, it was Xiu Huang who had spoke first. He cupped his hands and bowed to Duan Yunfei, and then said to Duan Yunfei at a leisurely pace: "The fact that Thirteenth Princess has returned victorious is truly a matter worthy of celebration. Xiu Huang will congratulate the Emissary first."

Seeing that, Duan Yunfei quickly waved to Xiu Huang, signalling him to stand up. " Before we went to war, Sir Xiu Huang gave me a pot of hot wine. I will always remember this affection in my heart. "

However, Xiu Huang waved his hand, "It's just a pot of hot wine, Princess, there's no need to worry so much."
