Thank you to Fuu and Kikusui for the ko-fis!]
Fu Shen continued on, not waiting for Yan Xiaohan to speak ”Is there pufferfish on the menu today, Brother Yan?”
Yan Xiaohan took in his utterly serious appearance that didn't seerade of toxin wouldn't be at an imperial banquet of the royal fa one, plu at me from the top of the steps with his hands behind his back…”
Yan Xiaohan al hi noiselessly
When Fu Shen was set down in front of the Hall, Yan Xiaohan gave hily retaliatory pinch on the waist The ticklish Fu Shen shrank back, pointing a finger at him ”Rude,” he whispered
Yan Xiaohan shot him a look that said, 'do you still have the face to say that?'
Fu Shen unwittingly grasped soe of Yan Xiaohan's bowed head, he grinned into the side of his ear with ill intentions ”Don't have such a cold face, you'll hurt your good looks It takes enough energy being so up in ar with pure provocation and could ht by it, but disappointingly, there were eyes all around, so he could only press down his urge to steal this giant huli jing away and throw him onto a bed He harshly pinched hier, standing up and leaving with a frosty face
Fu Shen shook out his hand that had been squeezed nu eunuch urgently wheeled him away
The crowd of Kin-Princes, Priher Dukes and Marquis sat at the front of the Hall The rest's acco seats were further down on either side of the corridor, while the Ean at the ; the Emperor drank down all of the first cup of iive their congratulations The sound of a xiao arose, dru in unison, and the palace women of the Arts Department [1] executed a flower-array dance
On the second cup of wine, all the Eratulated hiifts Presents were sent into the Hall like a stream, all of them rare, precious treasures of the world The Yuantai E soht silks
Fu Shen's eyes were narroithin that Hall full of resplendence, carefully peering at E A thick layer of poas applied to her face, but it still couldn't cover up her pallid skin tone Her eyes were red, as if she had cried There was a faint tre robes, but its extent wasand liveliness from every direction did it not look particularly out of place
Not understanding that body language, he lifted his wine cup and took a sip——
The taste was off
He seized the wine jar fro face and lifted the lid to take a look Inside was scruar
That petty asshole!
The cup had originally been just wine Fu Shen had drunk half of it, refilled it fro at it carefully Its flavor was virtually difficult to describe, surging froue to the top of his skull Yan Xiaohan, as ht under the i his head away silently before Fu Shen raised his eyes to hiave a toast, and the hundred officials stood up, si life and heavenly luck
On the fourth cup, the Empress used the head of the Sixth Palace [2] as a stand-in for every concubine in the palace estate to give blessings for the Eed for all sorts of plays and sideshows onstage; dressed up as the Queen Mother clasping a peach of immortality, the heavenly wo rain of flowers floating through the air Mist-like ure of a pink-faced, white-haired Daoist then appearing, holding a lustrous Gold Pill [3] in his hand
A cold glint in his eyes, Fu Shen reached out and tugged at the sleeve of the one beside hi ”Where did that Daoist monk come frohed ”You don't know this, Jingyuan, but he's Priest Chunyang of the Clear Void Monastery [4] His Majesty suffered a headache therecommended this priest to him His folk reht him into the palace to ordain hi: effective my ass
In all monarchs of dynasties before, was there any one of theht i able to live beyond a hundred? The Yuantai E a Daoist priest by his side was starting a fire and fanning its fla in the future? These fantastical things would sooner or later turn into a cause of ruin, inciting unrest in the Court, and the country would not have a single peaceful day
Priest Chunyang had the look of being an elite fro before the Yuantai Ey tone and y voice ”Please, Your Majesty”
The Eers…
”Your Majesty, watch out!” Fu Shen abruptly shouted
He held two jujubes in his palertips, all that could be seen o shadows cleaving through the air and flying off They swiftly grazed across the Emperor's chest, then were obstructed by his outstretched aron robes to tumble onto the carpet
At almost the same ti to the ground
The E It was as if he had yet to react to anything that had just happened The hand that was left on the imperial table faintly shi+vered
An inner attendant picked up the jujubes soon after and presented theht shi+ning in fro steel needle stuck through them!
A Daoist priest consecrated by the royal fa his own Vast Longevity Feast!
