Abandoned Princesses
In Journey

Emperor Qiao was now pacing uneasily within the palace hall.

While Head Eunuch Qi who saw him from the side could only sigh.

"For what? Why is there such an official visit?" Emperor Qiao began massaging his forehead.

"Anu.. Your Majesty.. Could he have come to congratulate Princess Lan's wedding without knowing what happened next?" Eunuch Head Qi guessed.

"Are you kidding me? Even the people know that he has been executed. How can a man like him not know?" The Emperor felt even more of a headache after hearing the guess from Head Eunuch Qi.

Eunuch Head Qi was confused to have to answer let alone. He wanted to ease Emperor Qiao's burden, but it seemed like he would rather keep his mouth shut than make the Emperor angry.

"Is it not because of that man?" The Emperor came to a halt instantly as he thought of that possibility.

Qiao Rong walked out of his room and saw that the leaves of the trees had almost completely fallen off. In a moment of winter, he could not wait for the first snow that would fall after passing a thousand years just like that.

"Chu Yue, why are they getting busy again? Will there be another celebration?" Qiao Rong asked after seeing so many maids running around while walking in the courtyard of Yun Pavilion.

"Ah, Your Majesty haven't heard from you?" Chu Yue looked at Qiao Rong in confusion.

Seeing Chu Yue's gaze, Qiao Rong was even more confused. He had indeed spent more time cultivating lately, so it was only natural that he had just now come out to breathe fresh air.

"The emperor will prepare a very grand banquet, even more magnificent than Princess Lan's wedding banquet. There will reportedly be an official visit from one of the three big sects. But it is still unknown who the honored guest was." Chu Yue explained with her knowledge.

Qiao Rong simply nodded.

After feeling like I've been around for quite a while. Qiao Rong finally returned to the room and planned to rest. Chu Yue immediately went out and prepared a bath water with the other ladies.

"Aren't you thinking it's weird?" Suddenly Li Junyan appeared in her thinking pose.

"God.. You just surprised me!" Qiao Rong poked at Li Junyan's forehead slowly. Qiao Rong indeed could not deny that his heart would always leap if the boy appeared all of a sudden. But for the sake of maintaining his image, he never complied with it.

However, that's enough. Now that they were very close, he could not bear the sudden appearance of the boy.

"alright. I'll signal you if it shows up." The boy rubbed his forehead which was hit by Qiao Rong's neck. In addition to counting money, planning revenge tactics, the Master is also a hobby of attracting others.

No, not exactly. Telling him is a more appropriate word. Because ever since he knew Qiao Rong, the girl had never caught anyone but him.

"So, what's weird?" Qiao Rong asked back at the topic the little boy had discussed earlier.

"There are some things I forgot to tell you. Regarding the situation of the three sects right now.. It's kind of messed up." The boy's face suddenly looked agitated.

Qiao Rong actually wanted to laugh when he saw Li Junyan's thinking face. Somehow the impression that the boy was like a grown-up once, if only seeing his face would be all people would be fooled.

"You niggles? Do they not keep the peace?" Qiao Rong asked back.

"Look this way.the new successor of the Moon Sect and the Sky Sect is completely out of order. Firstly, the elders of the Moon Sect were very different from the other two sects. In the Moon Sect, the elders were merely acting as side advisors. While in the Sky Sect and Sun Sect, the elder had a huge influence of opinion in the decision of the sect leader." Li Junyan explained.

"But, since the elders in the Moon Sect were now concerned with self-esteem, many decided to manipulate the sect leader further. Without them expecting, this new successor could not be underestimated at all. The new Moon King continuously wore masks, always shying away from women, even daring to threaten them blatantly. Reportedly he was cruel and cruel, but also fair at the same time." Li Junyan.

"Then what's the problem with the new Sky King?" Qiao Rong tried to listen.

"War?" Qiao Rong became even more clueless. Why would the person who was the leader of one of the peace-keeping sects even want to spark war?

"Nobody knows why. He had already suffered many defeats, for some reason the elders remained silent. His army also did not stop advancing." Hearing Li Junyan's words then Qiao Rong felt very strange.

Isn't the action of the Sky King like.. outwitting? Everyone was focused on his advancing troops, but no one knew his purpose. Inner Qiao Rong.

Seeing Qiao Rong immersed in his thoughts, Li Junyan smiled.

"And now a strange problem arises. It has been decades since the last official visit. About who and for what?" Li Junyan put on a mysterious tone. Over time, Qiao Rong also became curious.

"wait. It's the Emperor's problem, not mine." Hearing Qiao Rong say so, Li Junyan became somewhat disappointed. However, not interfering with the matters of others that he did not care about was indeed Qiao Rong's nature.

A knocking sound rang out at the door of the room, then Chu Yue appeared to tell Qiao Rong that the bath preparations were ready.

"Can't we just ride or use qinggong?" Shen Haofeng snorted in annoyance as he looked towards the window of the horse carriage he was driving.

"I know Your Majesty must be impatient. But this is an official visit, we shouldn't look disrespectful." Jiang Junwei who was now sitting across from Shen Haofeng tried to calm down the master.

Along the way, Shen Haofeng only looked at the outside scenery curiously. He wondered how the lives of the children living in the city. Can they play freely? Have many friends? Jajan with satisfaction?

Shen Haofeng constantly speculated every time he saw a child on the street.

Until finally, something caught his attention. The man immediately enveloped the carriage with his qi. From the outside, there was the sound of the horse squealing in surprise, the carriage also came to a stop.

Jiang Junwei knew that it was the result of his master's actions. Therefore, he is silent and will compensate the coachman a little for his frightened horses.

Shen Haofeng wasted no more time and immediately got off the horse carriage. His attention was focused on one of the traders who was peddling women's hair accessories in the middle of the road.

Shen Haofeng immediately approached the man. Daritadi, his eyes could not escape from one of the hair skewers lying there.

The hair was made of silver. At the end, there was a Phoenix motif with strands of silver circles under the bird.

The seller certainly feels happy because there are buyers who look at the goods sold. But his happy face disappeared immediately because of Shen Haofeng's actions.

Shen Haofeng took the hairpin and left one gold coin on the table where the salesman peddled his wares.

Shen Haofeng immediately left behind the astonished salesman behind him and immediately bit the gold coin to confirm its authenticity.

While walking towards the horse carriage, Shen Haofeng could not think of how beautiful Qiao Rong was while wearing this hairpick.

Even though it was only made of silver, Shen Haofeng felt that the price of the hairpick was indeed worth one gold coin.

Judging from any side, that hair pin would be very suitable to decorate the girl's hair.

While inside the horse carriage, Jiang Junwei who had already sat neatly after paying the restitution to the coachman could only sigh looking at his master who was smiling all the way just for buying one hairpick. In Jiang Junwei's eyes, the hairpin was just an ordinary silver hairpick bought from the streets. Sure is inferior to the golden hair skewers sold in big hair accessories stores.

In fact, if the man knew the price that Shen Haofeng paid for the hairpick..

Maybe he'll have a heart attack.
