Elder Qianfang took the holy maidens and the three holy witch maids who came with him, and stepped forward to greet the emperor.

"Elder Qianfang doesn't need to be polite, I have always regarded the Holy Witch Clan as my own people, so the annual reception banquet is a family banquet, only my own people and the banquet, it is not too grand, Elder Qianfang is not too cold."

"The emperor said it seriously, and Qianfang was flattered."

After the salute, the group sat down under the guidance of the eunuch to the head of Emperor Xiliang, only a few steps between the two tables. Emperor Xiliang used this to show his importance to the Holy Witch Clan.

Liu Yusheng lowered her eyes and covered her mockery.

The kung fu on the face is good-looking, what do others think of the woman of the Holy Witch Clan, Emperor Xiliang really doesn't know?

Turn a blind eye.

Because in his own heart, he has never looked down on the Holy Witch Clan.

Who would hold a tool up to a high place for people to worship?

"There was an accident during the selection of the Holy Maiden this time, I have already heard from Gonggong Wei that the Holy Blood Golden Silkworm was lost in the border city, which made it impossible to check the bloodline, and finally Gonggong Wei had to bring the six Holy Maidens into the palace together," Emperor Xiliang leaned back on the back of the chair, and his eyes slowly swept over several Holy Maidens, "But please also ask the elder to go back and tell the Holy Witch Clansmen, don't worry, since the Holy Maiden has entered the palace, I will definitely not treat them badly, and I must treat them well." ”

"The emperor loves him, and Qianfang will definitely return when she goes back."

"That's fine, I'm afraid that the Great Elder will misunderstand me and affect the relationship between the Holy Witch Clan and the royal family, and then the gains will outweigh the losses."

"Yes."

Enwei and might, first lowered his posture a little to apologize, and finally used a sentence that outweighed the losses to let the Holy Witch Clan remember the consequences of sinning against the royal family.

Disgusted by those words, Liu Yusheng secretly rolled his eyes, people like Emperor Xiliang are the real scourge for thousands of years.

Caused by a moment of emotion, Liu Yusheng didn't know that his little expression happened to be captured by a pair of eyes.

Diagonally opposite the seat of the Holy Witch, the man poured wine and held a glass, hiding the smile at the corner of his mouth by tasting wine.

A maid of the Holy Witch Clan has such a smart expression, which is interesting.

After a few words, the wine and food were served, and the banquet officially began.

"Feast—" The eunuch's feminine and shrill voice dragged on, and after he finished speaking, the palace music sounded.

The sound of silk and bamboo is beautiful, rendering a relaxed atmosphere to the banquet venue.

It creates the illusion of singing and dancing.

However, the bitterness in the eyes of the saints, no matter how beautiful the music, could not be erased.

Several people ate in silence and silently accepted the arrangement of fate.

Xu felt the depression emanating from them, and even the most lively Qianlan didn't dare to speak during the entire banquet.

From time to time, he raised his eyes and swept towards a few people, and finally buried his head lower and lower.

Seeing that the banquet was coming to an end, Liu Yusheng thought that he could return to Yanshou Palace to rest safely, and he didn't want someone on the other side to stand up.

Liu Yusheng's heart immediately jumped, and she had a bad premonition.

looked up, it was the prince that Qianlan had bumped into.

"Grandfather Huangxuan—"

"Hmm!" Liu Yusheng was almost choked, and he endured the cough because he was afraid of the occasion, and his little face was red.

Her eyes quickly glanced around, but fortunately, no one around her was unusual, and no one noticed her gaffe.

I really suddenly heard a grandfather of Huangxuan, and I was shocked, five generations are in the same house. She really wanted to know what kind of mood her great-grandsons felt when they saw that their great-grandfather was so old and that they were still picking saints every year.

She privately thought that they should be quite depressed, after all, the great-grandfather should be old and strong, and the throne will be far away for them.

Many of them were secretly afraid that they were hoping that the old emperor would die soon.

But no.

Secretly poked and poked at the Xiliang royal family, and the woman didn't notice that when she almost lost her temper, the man standing up opposite her had an almost imperceptible pause in his voice.

"——My Xiliang royal family and the Holy Witch Clan have been in contact with each other for nearly a hundred years, and they are already their own people, and the great-great-grandson thinks that in such a family banquet, the elders of the Holy Witch Clan and the holy women do not need to continue to wear veils, and it is the most basic etiquette for everyone to be honest with each other."

The women of the Holy Witch Clan raised their eyes in unison, looked to the other side in surprise, and then looked at Elder Qianfang, their eyes full of confusion and panic.

Veiling is the rule of their clan.

But the prince on the other side said that taking off the veil is a basic etiquette, so what should they do?

What etiquette do you really want to ignore the clan rules, and how can you explain to the Great Elder after you go back?

Liu Yusheng is not from the Holy Witch Clan, and she doesn't have the sense of helplessness and panic that they have, but since it is a clan rule, it naturally can't be easily broken, and she is sure that Elder Qianfang will not agree, but ......

Qianfang has already spoken, "I also ask the emperor and the prince to forgive their sins, it's not that we are unwilling to be honest, it's just that the women of the Holy Witch Clan who walk outside must be veiled, and they can't show their true faces, this is the clan rule." My Holy Witch Clan has always been loyal to the Emperor and the Imperial Family, and the Emperor and the Imperial Family also love my Holy Witch Clan, and Qianfang believes that the Emperor and the Lord will be able to understand our suffering. ”

"Could it be that Elder Qianfang and the women of the Holy Witch Clan don't show their true faces in their own clan?" The man on the other side smiled kindly, but the exit was aggressive.

Qianfang twisted her eyebrows, "It's a different thing in the clan." ”

"It's okay in the clan, why not here? Could it be that the elder is not anxious to trust the clansmen for Huangxuan's grandfather? ”

"Lord Wang, this can't be generalized."

"How not? What Elder Qianfang said just now is that he is loyal to Huangxuan's grandfather and the Xiliang royal family, isn't it? ”

"......" Qianfang was speechless, and at the same time, her heart was suddenly raised, looking at the emperor.

If the emperor also thinks that her so-called loyalty is a truthful word, it will inevitably anger Long Yan, and the emperor is afraid that he will offend the Holy Witch Clan!

The old emperor sat at the top, and since the beginning of the banquet, his posture has hardly changed, and he has always leaned half of his body on the back of the chair, very relaxed.

It's just that at this moment, the eyes that flickered and half-opened and half-closed slowly lifted, and Diwei was unconcealed, breathtaking, almost making people dare not look directly.

"I have always regarded the Holy Witch Clan as my own, and the Elder should know about it. There is some truth in what Ba Nian said, and I really want to know, do the elders also take me as their own? ”

Qianfang's face gradually turned pale, her eyes flickered, and after a while, she looked sideways at the person she brought with her, "Take off the veil." ”

"Elder......"

"Take it off!"

The emperor is already angry.

Liu Yusheng sighed silently, she knew that this would be the result.

It's not about trust at all.

It's that the emperor's heart is unpredictable.

As an emperor, he is most taboo for others to guess his thoughts, and he is also the most taboo for being manipulated. When Elder Qianfang was defending the Holy Witch Clan, he said the wrong thing.

Originally, the emperor didn't have to let them take off their veils, so what difference did it make to him whether they took them off or not? As long as he wants, the Holy Witch Woman will fall into his hands.

What made him change his mind was precisely Qianfang's refusal.
