Chapter 29 Royal Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner

Ling Chenxi and his group returned from their training in the Warcraft Forest. After two days of rest at home, the fifteenth day of August arrived in a blink of an eye.

Because there was a dinner party in the palace in the evening, General Ling took the lead in worshipping the ancestors in the ancestral hall in the morning. The general who guarded the country set the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner at noon.

The whole General's Mansion, including the three elders and their families, as well as Ling Bai's family members, attended the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner in the palace. On this day, the sun is shining brightly, the autumn wind is refreshing, and the whole capital is immersed in the festive atmosphere.

According to traditional customs, the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner in the palace will officially begin at the hour of You.

However, at the 3 p.m. in the afternoon, two hours before the dinner was to start, the current empress dowager suddenly sent her personal nanny to the General's Mansion and conveyed an order: summon Ling Chenxi to the palace for an audience.

Others can enter the palace to attend the party one hour before the banquet starts.

Upon hearing the news, General Zhenguo did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He hurriedly called the maids and asked them to go to Xiheyuan immediately to help Ling Chenxi dress up.

A moment later, Ling Chenxi radiated charming radiance after being carefully dressed up by the maids.

She was dressed in a gorgeous palace dress, with her hair neatly combed and delicate makeup on her face, looking particularly beautiful. Later, accompanied by her father and the palace nanny, she took a carriage to the palace.

Along the way, General Ling Yuan reminded Ling Chenxi to remember the palace rules after entering the palace and not to be careless in anything. In particular, he should pay attention to Concubine Ye (the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel, who gave birth to the second prince Xiao Jingshan).

After entering the palace, the general sent his daughter to the Empress Dowager's palace, Cining Palace, and asked a eunuch to lead her to meet Emperor Xiao Jingshan. Ling Chenxi entered the Empress Dowager's palace under the guidance of a nanny.

"Lin Chenxi from the General's Mansion pays respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed." Ling Chenxi performed a dignified palace ceremony. "Xi'er, please get up quickly. Come to your aunt's place. We haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Let your aunt take a good look at you."

Because the empress dowager was from a reclusive family, it was difficult for her to see her family once she entered the world, so for her, the General's Mansion was her own home.

Ling Chenxi was the only girl in the general's mansion. She was pretty, well-behaved and sensible, so the queen dowager doted on her.

Whenever there was a treasure, if the two princesses in the palace (the eldest princess Xiao Jingyi, 18 years old. Intermediate Spiritual Sect, single gold attribute, studying at Baiyun Academy and has not returned yet; biological mother Concubine Chen Shu) had one, Ling Chenxi would definitely have one too.

Therefore, everyone is saying that although Ling Chenxi does not have the title of princess, she is favored by the royal family.

"Xi'er, I just came back not long ago, how come I heard that you almost died twice at the hands of your second uncle's daughter? What happened?"

Seeing the Queen Mother's concerned face, Ling Chenxi told her about the second time Ling Yunmeng hired someone to try to kill her.

"This is outrageous. My sister and I should not have rescued and adopted such a heartless creature. Who knew that we would raise such an ungrateful person." The Queen Mother said angrily with tears in her eyes after listening to Ling Chenxi's story.

"Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, Her Majesty the Queen, the First Prince and the Second Princess heard that the Fourth Miss Ling from the General's Mansion has arrived, so they have come to see her." The Empress Dowager was about to say something angrily when she heard the eunuch outside the palace gate reporting.

"Queen Xuan and her son, please come in."

"Greetings to the Queen Mother/Imperial Grandmother. May the Queen Mother/Imperial Grandmother be blessed with good health." The Queen, her two children and her three sons saluted.

"Your servant Ling Chenxi pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen, the First Prince, and the Second Princess."

"Everyone, please stand up. Come and sit down. Queen, take the children and sit down to talk."

"Xi'er, I heard that you went to the outskirts of the Warcraft Forest for training a few days ago. You had an adventure and your cultivation was advanced, right? Humph, you didn't even call me when you went with you for training. That's really not nice of you." The second princess Xiao Jingwei said.

"This little naughty boy, I heard that Xier went out for training a few days ago and was nearly killed by her elder sister. She was so frightened. Where did this adventure come from? It's all nonsense." The queen said to the princess in a reproachful manner.

"Your mother is right, you naughty monkey. This is not called an adventure, this is called a fright." The Queen Mother smiled helplessly and scolded.

"Your Highness, Queen Mother. Although I have experienced two life-and-death experiences, I have also gained some opportunities. The first time, I was saved by a great master from the outside world, and was able to become a cultivator and an alchemist. The second time, I was saved by Xu, the owner of Cangjin Auction House, and was able to contract a fifth-level spiritual beast, the Eld's Deer."

"It is indeed as Wei'er said. Miss Xi'er has had a fortuitous encounter." The eldest prince said with a smile, and the empress dowager and the queen nodded in agreement.

"The Emperor has arrived, and the general who guards the country has arrived!" the eunuch outside the door reported.

"Greetings to the Emperor/Empress Dowager. Best wishes to the Emperor/Empress Dowager!" Everyone hurriedly greeted the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

"Everyone, please stand up! Just now outside the palace, I heard Miss Xi say that she can practice and make pills. Is it true? What is her level of practice and what is her level of pill making?" asked the emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I have now reached the peak of advanced spiritual cultivation, and I am an intermediate third-level alchemist in alchemy." Ling Chenxi replied.

"Mother, the banquet is about to begin. Let the general take the children to the banquet hall."

"I obey your order." When General Ling Yuan heard the emperor's words, he took the princes, princesses and his own daughter and followed the eunuch beside him to leave the Cining Palace and go to the banquet hall.

In the banquet hall, men and women sat on both sides of the banquet table. Because the banquet had not yet started, Ling Chenxi, the princes and princesses, and the outstanding children of the ministers talked and laughed. The ministers also sat together and praised each other's outstanding children.

"The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, Concubine Ye, Concubine Chen, the eldest prince, the second prince, the second princess, and the third prince have arrived," the eunuch reported.

The current emperor of Canglan State, Xiao Jianglan, is in his prime, eloquent in literature and military strategy, upright and open-minded, and a wise ruler who governs the country in a proper way.

In the harem, there is the wife, Empress Xu (the legitimate daughter of the scholar's mansion, a good friend of Ling Chenxi's mother, and has always loved the three siblings), and the concubines are Concubine Ye and Concubine Chen.

"Your subjects, we pay our respects to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress and all the concubines in the palace. Long live the Emperor, and live a thousand years to the Empress Dowager and all the concubines."

"Everyone, please stand up. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Taking advantage of this banquet, I announce that this year's Royal Arena Monk Selection Competition will begin on the first day of September.

Children over 18 years old from all the major families in Kyoto are welcome to participate; the competition is divided into alchemy and cultivation competition. The top three can enter the royal secret realm for three days of training. The top cultivators and the top five alchemists will enter the two academies for further study. Also, Li Deyun, announce the decree! "

The ministers all knelt down to receive the decree. "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: The fourth daughter of the General's Mansion, Ling Chenxi, is gentle and kind.

Because of your extraordinary talent in cultivation, I have specially bestowed upon you the title of Lingxi Princess. Mingjiang City has been renamed Lingxi City. I now grant Lingxi Princess her fiefdom. Please accept my decree and express your gratitude!"

"Thank you for your grace, His Majesty. Long live the emperor." Ling Chenxi and his family knelt down to express their gratitude.

The emperor's order was delivered. The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner reached its climax. In the banquet hall, everyone talked and drank, sang and danced, and was very happy.

Finally, the banquet ended with a series of brilliant fireworks...
