"Jun Peijiu." Ning Qiong lowered her head and replied to the message, "Hello me."

Le Zhengqing picked up the steamed bun and brought it close to Ning Qiong's mouth, subconsciously glancing at their chat history.

[Give me Peijiu: zaima?]

[Ningqiong spreads all over the snow: Say]

[Yiwo Peijiu: Didn’t the teacher say before that he would introduce me to a guy and asked me to go meet him?]

[Ningqiongbianxuehua: Oh, congratulations]

[Yiwo Peijiu: Listen to me]

[Yiwo Peijiu: I went to watch his game, and it was just as you said. Although he has some habitual minor flaws, even if I were his age, I couldn’t do better than him.]

[Ningqiongbianxuehua: Wait (Element Alert)]

[Yiwo Peijiu: His eyes are very gentle. After several encounters with him, I became a little afraid to look at him, but I couldn’t help wanting to look at him.]

[Yiwo Peijiu: I accepted him as my student, thinking that this might bring us closer, and also help him avoid taking detours. But at the time I felt guilty, because he was the consort of the eldest princess, and I was her eunuch]

[Ningqiong spreads across the snow: …]

[Yiwo Peijiu: It wasn’t until I looked up ancient books and found that there was a precedent that allowed relationships between princesses, eunuchs, and their husbands-in-law. You know, I was so happy at that time]

[Yiwo Peijiupei: You always say that I don’t understand emotions, but the unique feeling when I’m alone with him should be what you call love]

“Le Zheng Qinghe!” Ning Qiong pinched Le Zheng Qinghe’s face and wrestled with him on the bed, “Ahhh, I’m so angry! Why did grandpa push you to her! I…”

Ning Qiong pressed Le Zhengqinghe down on the quilt and started chewing on him. The illustrated book she put down was still playing messages.

[Yiwo Peijiu: ? Are you listening?]

[Give me Peijiu: Qiong Qiong? Ziama]

"Okay, stop messing around." Yue Zhengqing pushed away Ning Qiong who was licking his collarbone and straightened his collar. "It's getting late, aren't you going to work?"

Ning Qiong immediately wilted when she heard this, leaned against the head of the bed and lit a cigarette, her eyes looking lonely and desolate.

"Who decided that the Four Heavenly Kings and the champions would watch the Unforgettable Tonight at the Spring Festival Gala? They have to leave home to rehearse on New Year's Day. It's so annoying."

Ning Qiong got up and put on her clothes. Yesterday's cheongsam was already dirty from the continuous fighting last night. Fortunately, she always carried a few sets of spare clothes with her.

The fur coat she usually wears over her cheongsam is actually made using space backpack technology. In summer, she only hangs a small bag on her wrist.

"It's time to go to work again. It's so cold outside. Being a corporate slave is really hard. Take care." Le Zhengqinghe lay on his side on the bed, stretching his body like a lazy big cat.

Ning Qiong curled the corner of her mouth, lifted up Le Zheng Qinghe's head and kissed him, passing the fragrant smoke in her mouth into his mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough..." As soon as Ning Qiong let out a sigh of relief, Le Zheng Qinghe kept coughing. She laughed so hard that her pearly teeth were showing. Then he put on his fur coat and left leisurely.

With nothing to do, Yue Zhengqinghe started the pre-registration for the intermediate gorgeous competition to be held next year.

According to the usual practice, after the New Year's Eve banquet, he basically had nothing to do and returned to Guangqi City. Although he would return to the Imperial Capital every New Year, only those who were qualified to attend the Palace Banquet knew him. On weekdays, he was still very low-key.

Although it was a night banquet, the small circle of people who participated in the banquet would often gather in the afternoon. The royal family would also arrange some activities, which was a good opportunity to win the hearts of ministers and form a clique. It was also an opportunity for some young people in the circle to get in touch with each other, and that was how connections were accumulated.

People like Le Zheng Longyu and Ning Qiong are even busier. After rehearsals in the morning, they have to attend pre-banquet activities in the afternoon, and then go to watch the ceremony after the banquet in the evening to put on some pretense.

However, when she heard that the royal family was going to have a family dinner to celebrate the New Year, Luo Wenyin complained to him about it for several years.

"Is Dad out?" Le Zhengqinghe asked towards the shadow corner of the room.

In the shadows, a girl wearing a windbreaker from the Qian Organization appeared with the help of a ghost-type elf. "The head of the family left while you were feeding King Ning Tian breakfast."

Then he presented a golden invitation with red ink in both hands, "This is the invitation from the imperial palace this year."

"Is this year's banquet held in the Imperial Garden? It's a bit far." Yue Zhengqinghe took the invitation and looked through it. The Imperial Garden is located behind the Imperial Palace, in the back mountain of the Imperial Capital. To get to the Imperial Garden from Liyun Pavilion, you need to pass through the entire Imperial Capital.

"We should be able to prepare the car in time now." Yue Zhengqinghe sat up from the bed. "I just laughed at the office slaves and now I have to work overtime myself. Sigh."

"Then I'll go prepare first." The girl disappeared again.

Chapter 113: The Flag and the Wings

Compared to the royal parks or hunting grounds in other regions that claim to "have all kinds of elves in the entire region", Tianqi's "Flags and Banners with Stunning Feathers" does not dare to make such a boast.

Apocalypse has areas suitable for all types of Pokémon to survive, whether they like the warm and humid rainforest or the dry and hot desert, whether they like to wander in the deep sea or bathe in magma, or the freezing cold snowfield, they can find a suitable place to live and survive in Apocalypse.

In addition to the vast territory, there are more secret realms located in Apocalypse, and there may be unknown elves waiting to be found.

At the entrance of Qijingjuan Jingyu, there were already many people gathered here. Men and women, old and young, gathered into small circles, and the small circles gathered into large circles. Metal carriages pulled by elves were parked around them.

Compared with mechanical cars, this practice of taming elves and combining them with the original cars to pull loads has evolved into a fashion among the upper classes in various regions. They even compare the elves pulling the carts of each family to distinguish their status.

Those who use flying Pokémon look down on those that can only run, and those who use rare Pokémon look down on those who use Kentaro and Dodo.

As a vested interest, Yue Zhengqinghe felt that all he could do was to be as generous to the elves he raised as possible, but he also couldn't let them develop arrogance.

At this time, the crowd formed three circles.

The emperor of the Tianqi region sits under a canopy, surrounded by old ministers and new nobles. Next to him is the current queen Wei Geqi (not the heroine).

This queen has another identity. Huo Qingyi, who appeared in the freshman league, is her niece.

This circle is the most unquestionable and has the largest number of people.

The remaining two circles were filled with young people, one of which was led by a smiling man.

The eldest prince, Luo Wensheng, always believed that the old emperor was unwilling to make him the crown prince because of Luo Wenyin and Le Zhengqinghe. He had been hostile to the two since childhood and once urged the third prince to find trouble with Le Zhengqinghe. Unfortunately, he was implicated and beaten up by his stupid teammate's younger brother.

The other circle had fewer people and they were all girls. The one confronting Luo Wensheng at this time was Huo Qingyi.

She and Luo Wenyin are close friends, so naturally they are members of the eldest princess faction.

The eldest prince's faction "Fusu Pavilion" and the eldest princess' faction "Zhao Huaguan" have been fighting openly and secretly. The old emperor likes their current situation very much and hopes that it can be maintained until his death.

At this time, a carriage from the royal palace pulled by three wind-speed dogs stopped in front of everyone, attracting the attention of the young people.

A girl who had never been seen before, who was so beautiful and charming that people could feel pity for her at first sight, got off the carriage first. She was wearing a two-piece skirt and had a pretty bun on her hair. A hairpin with a phoenix-peony pattern was inserted in her hair, and a string of beautiful purple pearls hung down, reflecting the sun's brilliance.

The pretty girl made the young men and even some old men excited, but the person who came down next made them stop asking around.

As soon as Jun Peijiu got down from the carriage, Jun Luming deliberately shouted "Aunt, slow down" while touching her Qingluo skirt.

Jun Luming is very smart. She knows that she needs to use Jun Peijiu's identity to help her break into this extremely exclusive circle. When she went to the palace to see the eldest princess just now, her aura made Jun Luming tremble.

Thinking of this, her heart felt sad: the eldest princess is so nice and powerful, she is worthy of being Brother Qinghe's future wife.

"What are you all standing here for? You're not the right way to line up to welcome someone." Luo Wenyin's voice not only brought Jun Luming back to his senses, but also made those who had ideas about Jun Luming lower their heads unconsciously.

This is the woman who got off the eldest princess's carriage. There is no need for her to provoke someone as protective of her as the eldest princess just for a moment of pleasure.

Once there was a bully who was rampant in the imperial capital. He molested and beat a maid in the palace of the eldest princess in the street. After being protected by the Jinwu Guards who were enforcing the law, the eldest princess personally took up her sword and chopped off the heads of the bully and the Jinwu Guards who acquiesced to them in the street.

I promise I'm not making any innuendos, seriously.

Luo Wenyin was wearing a shoulder-baring black, gold and red phoenix gown. The proud hem of the gown had a white background. The phoenix's wings were gathered around her waistline. Six dragon heads and kingfisher feather hairpins hung down with thin tassels of gold. She wore a phoenix crown inlaid with rubies behind her forehead, and she spread her wings as if ready to fly.

When Luo Wensheng heard Luo Wenyin's voice, he subconsciously took a step back and glanced at his younger brothers who were surrounding him. In order to maintain his image as the eldest brother, he still gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm.

The old emperor withdrew his gaze from Luo Wensheng with some disappointment, and whispered to Wei Geqi beside him: "Sheng'er is still a little short of maturity. It seems that Wen Yin has more potential as an emperor."

Wei Geqi knew clearly that the old emperor did not want to hear her comments, so all she had to do was smile, nod, and say "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

She looked at the crowd below with some boredom, but what she was thinking about was that she had not yet gotten the relics for Xiao today.

When Luo Wenyin came, Huo Qingyi naturally retreated to her side. On the other side was Jun Peijiu, who brought Jun Luming to integrate into the circle.

Jun Luming came down from the eldest princess's carriage, so it would be unreasonable for them to refuse to establish a good relationship with her.

"Prince, why don't we retreat..." Someone who was obviously Luo Wensheng's confidant quietly suggested, "My fiancée is still on the other side. If we keep fighting, I won't be able to inherit the family business this year."

"You guy, is family business and women all you have in your mind?" Luo Wensheng curled his lips, with a hint of disappointment in his performance.

The man smiled bitterly and said, "You are a prince, of course you don't care, but of course we treasure our own little piece of land very much."

"She's just my eldest sister. You should just wait and be a princess, taking care of your husband and children. How dare you, a woman, compete with me for the throne..." Luo Wensheng gritted his teeth, thinking that he must put a damper on Zhao Huaguan's arrogance today.

But just as he took a step, a female three-headed evil dragon flew over from the sky, and on the carriage it was pulling behind it, a pattern of "horizontal flute and eight trigrams" was clearly visible.

The eldest prince silently retracted the foot he had just stepped on. The royal family's dignity and the demeanor of a leader made him stand here with a forced smile.

The girl drove the three-headed dragon to stop beside Windy Dog and opened the car door respectfully.

Yue Zhengqinghe walked down the steps from the carriage, with her long hair tied into a long braid behind her neck. She was wearing a windbreaker with a white background and black stripes, and the pattern of the Apocalypse Square.

He glanced at everyone and walked towards Luo Wenyin slowly.

Along the way, the young girls from the families of old ministers and new nobles all greeted Zhao Huaguan's only man with a smile, and the scent of all kinds of expensive perfumes mingled with the surrounding girls.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, my eldest princess." Le Zhengqinghe took Luo Wenyin's hand and hugged her, his eyes looking directly at Jun Peijiu and Jun Luming who turned their heads.

Le Zhengqinghe blinked, and Jun Peijiu and Jun Luming also blinked at him.

Huo Qingyi took it all in, a smile forming on her lips.

Interesting, really interesting. How strong can someone be who can win the hearts of both the Grand Princess and Jun Peijiu? Huo Qingyi licked her lips in excitement. She felt regretful that she could not fight with Luo Wenyin, especially Yue Zhengqing, in person because of her teammates' drag.

She greeted Le Zhengqinghe politely, as everyone in this circle was an acquaintance.

Du Xiuying came with Du Sicheng at the last minute. Du Sicheng was given a seat in the circle of ministers, and he explained that he was late because he was bringing his sister to familiarize herself with the affairs of the research institute.

As soon as Du Xiuying arrived, she hugged Le Zhengqinghe as if no one was around. Although everyone was surprised, since even the eldest princess didn't get angry, they naturally didn't say anything.

Huo Qingyi found it even more interesting. Of course she knew Du Xiuying. If she hadn't been born with a special physique, she would have been suppressed by Du Xiuying. The equally powerful girl also fell in love with the same person. Huo Qingyi became more interested in Yue Zhengqinghe.

On the other side, the eldest prince almost bit his back teeth off as he looked at Du Xiuying, who was snuggling in Le Zhengqing's arms and confronting the eldest princess in an unruly manner.

First of all, he didn't like Du Xiuying, and he had no intention of asking for permission to marry her. After all, he didn't like Du Xiuying, and he wouldn't be so angry when he saw her being intimate with his mortal enemy. He certainly didn't like Du Xiuying, although this secret love had never been revealed in front of others, he definitely didn't like Du Xiuying.

The old emperor looked at the party of the eldest prince, whose arrogance was completely suppressed by the arrival of Le Zheng Qinghe, and whispered to Queen Wei: "I think it is not impossible to support Sheng'er, just as a training for Wen Yin. If there are no obstacles and setbacks, Wen Yin will not be able to stay in the position for long."

"Your Majesty is absolutely right." Queen Wei smiled and nodded, thinking that Miaojue had just finished a set of combos, but in her heart she was thinking about who she would play with in the evening.

Chapter 114: Are you also Hermes?

The theme of this year's pre-banquet hunting night is horse racing.

And you are not allowed to change into professional attire.

Most people were wearing dresses that were not suitable for such strenuous exercise. They all breathed a sigh of relief and sat on both sides of the track, clearly separated.

As long as I don't play, no one will know my true skills and I won't make a fool of myself.

The princes and princesses already knew the theme of this event, and had already changed into clothes that would facilitate their riding skills when they arrived.

Even Luo Wenyin wore a layer of protective gear under her skirt; the cumbersome clothing did not hinder her.

"Aunt, do we want to go up and compete too?" Jun Luming looked at Jun Peijiu and asked. She knew nothing about this kind of sport, and she even practiced etiquette intensively before attending the banquet this time.

"No need, just watch." Jun Peijiu pulled Jun Luming to sit at the front of the circle of noble ladies. When Luo Wenyin was not around, she was the person with the highest status in this circle.

Du Xiuying took off her coat that was in the way and threw it on her seat, then moved to the stable next to the arena. This was also the first test - eyesight.

Although it is called a horse pen, there are actually many other types of elves that can serve as mounts, such as the Armored Rhino, Duduli, mount goats, etc.

Du Xiuying looked left and right, and finally chose a female Flame Horse. She held the Flame Horse's chin with one hand and stroked her face between her eyes with the other hand.

The Flame Horse's ears moved, and it didn't know what Du Xiuying said, but it obediently followed her to the horse cage and took its position.

"Master Le Zheng, have you ever tried equestrianism?" Huo Qingyi and Le Zheng Qinghe followed Luo Wenyin on the left and right. The three of them looked around the stable. While Luo Wenyin was choosing, Huo Qingyi asked Le Zheng Qinghe.

“I understand a little bit.” Yue Zhengqing glanced at the group of elves who were a little restless because a group of strange humans entered their territory.

"Really? Do you want me to help you?" Huo Qingyi smiled, revealing her white teeth. "I'm a cavalry major."

"Why don't I wait until I have chosen one and then ask you to help me." A layer of bright white light enveloped Yue Zheng Qinghe's surroundings. The elves, who were originally a little restless, gradually calmed down under the illumination of this faint light.

"Is this the power of Evergreen?" Huo Qingyi looked at Yue Zhengqing and leisurely walking among the various elves in amazement, and couldn't help but sigh, "If the taming priests can have this ability, then we in Apocalypse will have the strongest elven army."

The priest trainer that Huo Qingyi mentioned is a profession that specializes in training elves for the army of Apocalypse, and is relatively unpopular.

"What do you think Evergreen's power is? Cabbage?" Luo Wenyin had just come back from a walk around the stables. She didn't find anything suitable, so she simply released her Sharptooth Land Shark.

To be exact, this wasn't really cheating.

"It's been over a hundred years since Ah He appeared, and you just want to pull him to train the elf army?"

"Okay, okay," Huo Qingyi scratched the high ponytail behind her head awkwardly, "I also want to see which little cutie to choose."

In the end she chose a wind speed dog with a child.

Le Zhengqinghe stood surrounded by the elves, closed his eyes and scanned the elves of varying quality, and finally walked to a corner.
