Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2132: Empress Xiao’s Banquet (3)



The moment the eunuch gave that announcement, they all stood up.

The woman with the highest status was naturally Empress Xiao, but Empress Dowager Yan's status was a bit special. In the Imperial Palace, she has the highest status aside from Empress Xiao, so no one dared not stand up.

Even Empress Xiao also stand up to respect Empress Dowager Yan.

In any case, Empress Dowager Yan could be said to be Empress Xiao's imperial mother in law.

"It seems I was late," Empress Dowager Yan, Yan Jin Nian walked inside and looked at the noble ladies.

"Imperial Mother, you're not late." Empress Xiao was smiling. "I will prepare the tea once again for you."

Empress Dowager Yan, Yan Jin Nian waved her hand. She had no interest to participate in this tea party and only monitored it through her servants. In any case, these women were only talking about the few things and gossips from Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City.

Yan Jin Nian had no interest to listen to these again.

She had been full of various gossips from participating in several tea parties in the past few days. There was no need to add more and if she were being so obviously protective of Nan Hua, it could also be counterproductive.

So she waited until these women started targeting Nan Hua and showed their true color.

Only then Yan Jin Nian came out to interrupt.

Anyway, she had another reason why she came here this time.

"There's no need." Empress Dowager Yan waved her hand. "I come here because His Majesty and General Xing is looking for General Xing's fiancée."

General Xing's fiancée?

Everyone's eyes turned to look at Nan Hua, who was still sitting.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and stood up.

She should have guessed that Long Qian Xing would definitely come here. Even though she didn't really need it, but she was grateful for him.

After all, it was his kind intention.

"Your Highness, I will excuse myself." Nan Hua curtsied towards Empress Xiao.

It was a bit tiring for him to pay attention to these concubines. Those who dared to make trouble had been dealt with decisively.

No matter whether it was facing men or women, Emperor Yang Zhou would be decisive.

"There are a few things that I want to talk with you," Emperor Yang Zhou said as they walked to the empty garden. There were no servants there and even the guards of Emperor Yang Zhou was staying a bit further away.

Their task was to protect Emperor Yang Zhou and not to disturb nor to eavesdrop Emperor Yang Zhou's conversation with Long Qian Xing.

Anyway, Emperor Yang Zhou trusted that Long Qian Xing would not harm him.

"Yes, Your Majesty?" Long Qian Xing asked back.

"How was the recovery progress of your soldiers?"

"It has been going well, Your Majesty."

"How about the recruitment?"

"I need to select capable people, so the number is not enough by now," Long Qian Xing responded truthfully.

Emperor Yang Zhou nodded, not surprised with it. "I see, but I have another matter I need to

confirm from you."

"Yes, Your Majesty?"

"Do you still remember our sparring class?" Emperor Yang Zhou didn't immediately answer Long Qian Xing's question but instead asked another question.

Sparring class?

As Emperor Yang Zhou's study partner, Long Qian Xing was someone who had accompanied Emperor Yang Zhou for a long time. Back then, they were not only studying various classics and so on but also martial arts.

After all, there was now for Emperor Yang Zhou not to learn martial arts at all with so many

people who might want to take his life.

He had to learn self defense method.

"I remember, Your Majesty," Long Qian Xing said slowly.

"In that case, do you remember our conversation?" Emperor Yang Zhou glanced at Long Qian Xing and his eyes narrowed. "Would you continue to be my sword, Long Qian Xing?"
