Many years ago, the palace caused a storm, and His Majesty was furious. Lu Qiu became the first prince exiled in the history of Xia Kingdom.

There are many different opinions about the truth, but no matter what, Lu Qiu, who is known as the unparalleled, has fallen into a joke that has gone from imperial powers to ordinary people to have a tea talk after dinner.

After all, the fourth prince was too sharp in those years, and I don’t know how many people lamented that as long as he was in the imperial capital, all the younger generation would be suppressed and lost sight of the light of day.

After being exiled, all the geniuses in the imperial capital had the same charm as the fourth prince back then.

When Xi Yao looked up, she happened to see the noble and handsome face of the Fourth Prince. Although her black robe was stained with some soil, she still could not hide the innate temperament of the prince of Xia State, and she had some vague expectations.

After many years, the fourth prince finally returned to the imperial capital. I wonder if he could be as brilliant as before.

...

In the carriage that had been bumping for six days, Lu Qiu lifted the curtain and finally saw the imperial capital of Xia.

Immersed in the afterglow of the sunset, this capital, which was once towering under the sky, has been dyed with twilight.

The convoy entered the imperial capital and stopped in front of the Zhuhong gate of a grand mansion.

"The Fourth Prince, I'm here."

Xi Yao lifted the curtain and Lu Qiu walked off the car.

Outside this uninhabited mansion, a graceful girl had been waiting for a long time.

The evening light and the wind were intertwined through her raised hair, and a layer of fine golden sand was covered with a magnificent color. The light peach-colored mouth was gently raised, and the pretty and immersive face made people fascinated. A light green dress could not cover up the girl's delicate beauty as mutton fat jade, and the green eyes were filled with spring colors.

Her name is Su Chanyi.

"See Your Highness Cicada."

Xi Yao and other followers all knelt down and bowed.

The girl, known as His Highness Cicada, waved her sleeves and asked Xi Yao and others to get up. She followed Lu Qiu to walk towards the mansion.

"Your Majesty is ill in the dragon body, and several princes are ready to move."

"Four cities have fallen on the border of Xia Kingdom."

"In order to boost the morale of the Xia army, the prince and the ninth prince went to the battle, but they all died in battle." Su Chanyi walked and said worriedly: "There are probably many tricks to recalling my brother right now."

"I'm back." Lu Qiu stopped, smiling with a magic power that could make Su Chanyi feel at ease: "The wind and rain in this world cannot fall."

Su Chanyi raised her head and met Lu Qiu's eyes, which were still frivolous and wanton, and rushed into Lu Qiu's arms like a cluster of fragrant wind: "Brother, I miss you so much."

Lu Qiu sniffed the girl's fragrance and gently stroked Su Chanyi's back to comfort her.

Su Chanyi is the only princess in Xia State, but she has no blood relationship with Lu Qiu and the Emperor of Xia State.

Lu Qiu's mother was the royal concubine. Before Xianfei entered the royal family, there was a friend in the boudoir. An accidental friend and her husband died, leaving only the poor Su Chanyi. Xianfei was brought to the imperial capital to raise.

The emperor of Xia Kingdom most favored is the concubine of Xian, who loves the house and the Wushang granted Su Chanyi the princess.

As the first princess of a different surname in ancient times in the Xia Kingdom, she will naturally be excluded by other people in the royal family. Only the fourth prince will protect her. Over time, Su Chanyi relies specifically on this brother.

"Brother, this is an invitation to the peace banquet tonight." Su Chanyi took out a red book and said, "Your Majesty's arrangement."

...

It is sinking day by day.

After washing up, Lu Qiu casually wore a cool robe.

Su Chanyi originally arranged for Lu Qiu to take her carriage, but Lu Qiu wanted to walk on the streets of the imperial capital.

There are many shops on the streets and alleys. As the most prosperous city in Xia Kingdom, it is always buying and selling day and night. Pastry and candied fruits, coats, fan tents, and juggling... It makes people dazzling.

For the people of Xia Kingdom, the frequently defeated Xia Kingdom and Chiyan Kingdom held a peace banquet tonight.

"I heard that almost all the border cities have fallen. Is it really going to die in Xia Kingdom?"

"My seventh aunt's son is doing business in the border town. The caravan was looted by the people from Chiyan Country. The killings were all gone! My seventh aunt was so cried that she was blind. It was such a sin!"

"Tonight's peace banquet, Xia Kingdom will definitely lose its power, so sad!"

"Look at the royal family's powerful men riding on the six jades of elephants, dragging the glowing flags and sweeping the clouds. They traveled in front of the plum blossoms and behind them. Their entourages were huge and had already been soaked in the wine pond and meat forests!"

"I heard that the Fourth Prince is back."

"Really? How graceful the Fourth Prince was back then, and he looked down upon the city! If he came back, maybe there would be hope for our Xia Kingdom."

Lu Qiu stepped on the flat night market avenue of the imperial capital. Su Chanyi was always quiet and followed behind and walked among the crowd. Occasionally, the people could hear the people talking about the peace banquet held in the palace tonight. The Xia Kingdom and the Chiyan Kingdom had been resentful for a long time, especially the people in the border town, who were extremely miserable.

"Brother, everyone is looking forward to your return." Su Chanyi was quite happy in small steps.

"Yes." Lu Qiu smiled.

Su Chanyi secretly looked at Lu Qiu's beautiful side face. Compared with a few years ago, her brother seemed to be difficult to figure out.

...

Imperial Palace, Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"The Fourth Prince, His Highness, His Highness Chanyi arrives—"

As the sharp sound of the accent came from outside to inside, the joyful speech in the Hall of Supreme Harmony came to an abrupt end.

"See Your Highness the Fourth Prince, and see Your Highness the Cicada-Caiyi." The ministers and officials stood up and saluted.

Lu Qiu raised his hand and signaled to avoid the gift, and sat down with Su Chanyi under the guidance of the eunuch.

The ministers and officials sat down one after another, looking at the Fourth Prince with fun faces.

Su Chanyi poured a glass of fruit wine for Lu Qiu, and the wine flowed out of the golden foot bottle, and the fragrance of fruit wine spreads in the air.

Seeing the brother and sister drinking on their own, the ministers and officials did not take the initiative to talk. If it were the past, they would have been flattering and pleasing. But now, unlike the past, the influence of the fourth prince had long declined in the imperial capital.

What's more, Xia is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and smart people have long stood firm.

No matter what, no one will stand on the side of the Fourth Prince who has just returned from exile.

"Hahaha...is this the banquet of Xia Kingdom?"

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, rough and contemptuous laughter sounded.

Accompanied by the voice were three burly, tall, dark-skinned men, all wearing animal fur coats and combed their hair into small braids, like three black bears walking upright.

Without introducing, everyone in the Palace of Supreme Harmony knew that the visitor was the prince of Chiyan Kingdom.

The burly and dark figure of Chiyan Country is the most typical feature.

The three princes were like walking iron towers, giving people a sense of height suppression. One arm was about the same thick as the legs of the ministers and officials, and it seemed to solidify thousands of pounds of force.

If this punch falls into the body of the mortal body... I can't imagine it.

Later, the followers of the three princes were also senior officials sent by Chiyan Kingdom to negotiate.

After the eunuch led the way, the three princes began to eat and drink, laugh and clinked glasses. They never took the ministers and officials of the Xia Kingdom seriously. For a moment, they gave people a sense that the banquet of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was held by Chiyan Kingdom. The people from the Xia Kingdom were for peace negotiations.

The displeasure appeared on the faces of many ministers and officials, but no one said anything.

After all, the border battlefield of Xia State is retreating step by step, and the people of Chiyan State dare to stand at the heart of Xia State, so they naturally have some support.
