Your Highness, your general has also been reborn

The carriage stopped firmly inside the palace gate.

While Lu Yuanxi jumped out of the carriage, he looked up at the surrounding carriages, and said with a smile: "It seems that they are almost here, we won't be the last two, right?"

Leng Manxiu: "No way, who told you to waste time like this."

Lu Yuanxi ignored Leng Manxiu's complaints this time, he asked: "But depending on the time, there is still some time before the banquet starts, shall we go to the banquet hall now?"

"For a banquet, we naturally can't arrive later than His Majesty, it's against the rules."

"Rules are dead, but talents are alive." Lu Yuanxi said, raising his eyebrows at Leng Manxiu: "I heard that a new batch of tribute fish has been raised in the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, do you want to go there? have a look?"

"Do not want to."

Leng Manxiu's tone was flat, without any ups and downs.

Glancing at Lu Yuanxi, he said, "I advise you to be kind. Those are ornamental fish. Don't think about killing them when you see them flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuanxi was once again honorably held by Leng Manxiu by the collar, and walked towards the banquet hall.

Because of being dragged by the collar, Lu Yuanxi kept walking backwards, unable to see the path under his feet, and staggered several times.

"Hey hey! Indifference, indifference! Nonsense!! Let go of me, I can't see the way like this! Hurry up!"

Lu Yuanxi put his hands behind his back, trying to pull away Leng Manxiu's hand that was holding on to his collar, but Leng Manxiu was the first to notice his intention.

The other free hand grabbed Lu Yuanxi's wrist, and his tone was slightly warning: "Be honest, if you listened to me, I wouldn't behave like this."

"Then I'm obedient, you let me go, I'll go by myself." Lu Yuanxi said.

Leng Manxiu was silent for a moment and did not answer, as if thinking about the credibility of Lu Yuanxi's words.

Lu Yuanxi waited for a few seconds, seeing that Leng Manxiu didn't speak, nor let go, he clicked his tongue and said, "Isn't it Leng Mo, you don't believe me?"

Leng Manxiu remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Lu Yuanxi became even more excited: "You really don't believe me?! How many years have we been friends, will I lie to you?"

This time, Leng Manxiu finally opened his mouth, but what he said was: "How many times have you lied to me?"

"..."

His answer was silence.

Lu Yuanxi was choked by Leng Manxiu's words, and after a few breaths, he asked sincerely: "Isn't that all a joke? Have I ever lied to you before the big questions?"

Leng Manxiu pondered for a moment, then let go.

Lu Yuanxi rubbed his itchy neck, which was strangled, and turned around.

Lu Yuanxi was indeed very familiar with the way to the banquet hall, so he didn't need Leng Manxiu to lead the way, so he walked directly towards the banquet hall.

Leng Manxiu walked side by side with him.

Soon, the two arrived at the banquet hall.

As Leng Manxiu said, although it was still some time before the banquet started, almost all the seats in the banquet hall were filled.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrives—the young Lord Lu arrives—"

The two stepped into the gate of the banquet hall, and everyone saluted and greeted them.

Leng Manxiu walked indifferently, never caring about those people.

Lu Yuanxi, on the other hand, greeted the officials and their female family members on the left and right sides with a smile.

He also noticed that Lu Hongwen was not there either, so he must still be staying with Emperor Cang Ji.
