Chapter 607: Entering the Palace for a Banquet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qin Canglan was a general. His granddaughter-in-law came to treat him well, but he shot Wei Ting.

A red tassel spear.

Wei Ting took it valiantly.

Qin Canglan picked a long sword. “Come, let’s exchange a few moves!”

Wei Ting said, “Then please enlighten me, Grandpa.”

“The first move — Flood Dragon Enters the Sea!”

Qin Canglan held his sword and slashed at Wei Ting like a flood dragon.

Wei Ting blocked with his spear.

This was the first time he had fought Qin Canglan seriously. Previously, in Pear Blossom Lane, the two of them had only exchanged one move, and Qin Canglan clearly did not get serious.

This time, Qin Canglan had the intention to teach him. He hit him a little harder. After a few moves, Wei Ting’s arms were slightly numb.

Qin Canglan attacked again and again. “A man has to have good waist strength!” “You have to have enough leg strength!” “Your arm strength has to be fierce!”

“You should be able to retract and release it freely!”

Qin Canglan had decades of rich internal strength and his martial arts realm had long entered the peak. As Wei Ting fought with him, it was a little tragic, but he had actually benefited a lot.

Qin Canglan stopped. He couldn’t really beat him up or his precious granddaughter would be angry later.

He picked up Wei Ting’s red tassel spear with his sword and threw it back onto the shelf. At the same time, he inserted the sword back into the scabbard on the shelf.

“Your grandfather’s Red Tassel Spear back then was rarely matched in the

Great Zhou. You still have to practice!”

“Yes, Little Seven will remember.”

Wei Ting admired Qin Canglan’s martial arts from the bottom of his heart, so he naturally would not be arrogant.

Qin Canglan waved his hand. “Come back tomorrow morning to practice.” “Tomorrow morning?” Wei Ting was stunned.

Qin Canglan said, “Ah, I forgot that you’ve been reinstated. Then come over after court. I’ll wait for you. Anyway, I’ve resigned and have nothing to do.” Wei Ting wondered, “Is this a question of whether you’re free or not?”

Qin Canglan remarked, ” Heh, you want my granddaughter to be a sandbag at your house? Then come over and be my sandbag! If your sisters-in-law beat my granddaughter up a few times, I’ll beat you up twice as much!” Wei Ting muttered, “I suddenly miss being a live-in son-in-law…”

After the spar, Su Xiaoxiao made a big bowl of lotus seed soup.

Qin Canglan immediately emitted a benevolent light. “Little Seven is not bad. Your martial arts have improved.”

Wei Ting gave a fake smile. “Grandpa gave good guidance.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What are you talking about?”

Qin Canglan smiled and said, “It’s nothing. We just sparred. It smells so good. Is it lotus seed soup?”

“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Ergou and the three little ones have already had theirs. This bowl is yours.”

She scooped two bowls, one for Qin Canglan and one for Wei Ting.

While Qin Canglan was drinking the lotus seed soup, Su Xiaoxiao told him about Prime Minister Guo and the portrait.

“Eldest Princess? I did hear that she became a nun.” Qin Canglan frowned deeply. “Back then, Huayin had a relationship with her for a while. Later on… Huayin’s relationship with the Empress Dowager fell apart. The Edlest Princess was caught in the middle and didn’t move around much. A few years after her marriage, she moved to Qingzhou with the Prince Consort. Every time Huayin returned to the village to pay respects to her ancestors, she would stay in her residence for a while… Later on, the Prince Consort was seriously ill so she returned to the capital with the Prince Consort to treat his illness. Two years later, the Prince Consort passed away.” At this point, Qin Canglan paused. “Why is it her?”

Qin Canglan was also in disbelief.

However, on second thought, Huayin was killed in Qingzhou back then.

Qingzhou was the Eldest Princess’s fief, and the Eldest Princess knew Huayin’s whereabouts like the back of her hand…

Although Huayin was killed by Qin Jiang’s mother, could the Eldest Princess be behind the scenes?

Qin Canglan said, “But she has no reason to harm Huayin.”

This was also something Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t figure out, but too many things happened to be related to Grandmaster Hui Jue, such as the place where Su Huayin was killed or the secret passage of the White Lotus Society in Pear Blossom Lane.

They were silent for a moment.

Qin Canglan asked, “There’s a welcome banquet tonight. Are you going over directly from here later, or are you going back to the Wei family first?” Su Xiaoxiao said, “We’re heading back to the Wei family first to send Dahu, Ernu, ancl xlaonu DaCK.”

Qin Canglan nodded. “Alright.”

Su Cheng had been tricked too badly by his father and was drunk. He did not wake up even after his daughter and son- in-law left.

In the evening, Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting entered the palace for the banquet.

The venue of the banquet was at the Qilin Hall.

After getting off the carriage, the two of them walked towards the Qilin Hall.

Wei Ting looked around.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, “Yo, you’re going to see your Princess of Northern Yan again. Are you looking forward to it?”

Wei Ting’s face darkened. It seemed she couldn’t get over this.

He could not argue at a time like this. Otherwise, she would have ten thousand crooked reasons to make things difficult for him.

Wei Ting decisively got down to business. “Northern Yan’s annual tribute this year is only half of last year’s.”

Su Xiaoxiao snorted. “So perfunctory?”

Wei Ting said calmly, “If you ask, you’ll be crying about being poor. There’s a drought in the north, and natural disasters and man-made disasters are everywhere, but the princess dowry they sent to the Western Jin is expensive.”

“Northern Yan is determined to win over the Western Jin.” Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Who’s from the Western Jin this time?”

The two of them continued walking.

Wei Ting said, “Prince Li, the younger brother of the Emperor of the Western Jin, the Princess of the Western Jin, the young princess of the Western Jin, and a few ministers.”

Su Xiaoxiao was deep in thought. “The Princess of the Western Jin is here too? It’s a big scene.”

Wei Ting was surprised by her sensitivity to political matters. “In the past, only one royal family came to the Western Jin. This year, three came. Of course, that young princess is the daughter of the Princess of the Western Jin. She’s here to play and has nothing to do with political matters.”

After a pause, he continued, “But it’s not difficult to understand. Northern Yan sent a princess to reconcile. No matter who she marries, it might threaten the status of the Princess of the Western Jin.”

Su Xiaoxiao understood. “So she’s here to form an alliance.”

Wei Ting nodded. “That’s right. If Northern Yan didn’t interfere, the target of her alliance would definitely be the Great Zhou. But now, everything has changed.”

As the two of them spoke, a woman’s scream suddenly came from ahead. “Ahhh! Don’t come over! Go away!”

It was Princess Hui An!

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting hurriedly rushed over.

Princess Hui An had just fallen off the horse and was injured. Today, she was taking a wheelchair out for a walk in the garden. Unexpectedly, a small golden snake descended from the sky and landed on her dress.

She couldn’t run, but she didn’t dare to hold it.

Little Shunzi reached out to grab it, but it slipped and fell onto her shoulder. Su Xiaoxiao shot out a silver needle and nailed the snake to the ground.

“Princess, it’s fine.”

Hearing a familiar voice, Princess Hui An raised her pale face and finally pounced into her arms, crying.

“Woah… Why are you only here now? You scared me to death just now…”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Princess, don’t wipe your snot on me.”

Princess Hui An sobbed and nodded. She straightened up and reached out to Little Yunzi.

Little Yunzi respectfully handed her a handkerchief. She wiped her tears and blew her nose before continuing to cry in Su Xiaoxiao’s arms.

Wei Ting looked at this scene in a speechless manner. Why did he feel that the entire world was fighting with him for his wife?

At this moment, the Princess of Northern Yan walked over from the path with a smile and asked pretentiously, “Have you seen a golden snake? That’s the pet of the young Princess of Western Jin. She accidentally lost it just now. We’re all helping to find it..”
