As the sky gradually became brighter, Xun Yi dragged his tired body back to Qingsang Dannang. He patted his face, used the merit bell to relieve his fatigue, changed into a regular suit and followed his clan members to greet His Royal Highness.

Originally, Xun Yi thought that Li Laoqi had come and was not prepared to entertain him. However, the prince's visit was obviously extraordinary. There are various political implications in it, and in the eyes of those old guys, it was clearly the royal family's attitude to test the Xun family.

The Xun family could only receive the crown prince with great gifts, and the head of Xun Yi personally welcomed him into the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace is a temporary palace built by the Xun family when the emperor went on a tour. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu, Li Chun and many princes called each other good friends and often went to major families to live in small families to enhance the relationship between the two families. Many Danshu families had a palace regulated by royalty. This is the emperor's kindness and also a symbol of identity.

However, since Zhaozong, he rarely traveled out, and at most he stayed at the homes of the Xun family and the Lu family for two days. In addition, Empress Xiaowen would visit her relatives and live in the Imperial Palace, which is a palace that was truly established in accordance with the royal regulations.

Xun Yi accompanied the prince to the Imperial Palace.

The prince smiled and said, "You don't need to be polite. You are still a cousin of this palace." The prince is handsome, his words and deeds are noble, and he deliberately uses a kind attitude to Xun Yi.

From Emperor Chengyuan, Emperor Chengyuan called Xun Yu and called him uncle and called him cousins ​​with Xun Yuan. Are the prince and Xun Yi not cousins?

However, Xun Yi was distant and refused to show his position at this moment. "Your Majesty is the descendant of Emperor Mingzong, and his relationship with King Rui is different. Please be careful of your words."

If you respond to the prince, wouldn’t you be completely standing on the ship of Northern Zhou?

Xun Yi observed the energy of two weeks two days ago and saw a little trick. Two weeks were not the true master of destiny. In the future, Qianlong will be born and then the universe will be determined. It is precisely because of this that Empress Xiaowen issued a curse to suppress Qianlong and preserve the great Zhou Dynasty.

In this situation where the future is not clear, the Xun family and Xun Yi's attitudes are biased towards the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but they cannot help each other and must be reserved. After all, the Xun family has its own plan, so it is impossible for them to spend all their efforts on Li Zhou's Jiangshan.

The prince saw Xun Yi's attitude and knew that the Xun family had two plans to bet. Xun Sheng and his family lived in Nanzhou, and it was obvious that they were waiting for Nanzhou to win and pick the fruits of victory.

"Sure enough, these aristocratic families are the biggest enemies of our royal family."

However, the strength of the aristocratic family came from the time of Emperor Gaozu. Emperor Gaozu was born in a grassroots family and only gained power with the help of a group of friends. Even after ascending the throne, he did not dare or would not oppress these friends.

The Great Zhou was a country with the power of the king. The emperor was known as the "Son of Heaven" and was a descendant of the Emperor of Heaven. However, the first heads of the major families were all with martial arts and mysterious skills. If they were really impatient, they would have fled far away, which would have completely become enemies. After all, the Great Zhou Kingdom was just a country in Zhongzhou, one of the eight hundred dynasties. If they fled to other places, the Great Zhou Kingdom was beyond the reach of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Therefore, although the imperial power is strong, the aristocratic families also have a certain voice. Especially the Xun family, when Emperor Gaozu wanted to divide the country with Mao Gong equally, it was not just empty talk or a test. In fact, many of the heads of those aristocratic families supported Mao Gong more than Li Chun.

However, Li Chun, as a descendant of the Emperor of Heaven, had an innate advantage, and Mao Gong also intended to take the opportunity to steal the fate of the dragon clan Li Zhou, so he deliberately supported Li Chun to take the lead.

Over the years, the Li family's country has become increasingly stable. The Xun family has been constantly restrained and spreading its power to other countries. As long as the Qingyuan Palace is in, the Xun family will always maintain their confidence. They can sit on the fishing platform and laugh at each other for two weeks of competition.

The prince saw Xun Yi's alienation and pointed to another building complex next to the Imperial Palace.

"Brother Xun, I can't help but feel lonely living in the Imperial Palace these days. Why don't you stay here with me?"

The building complex is the residence of the Xun family, which is the main hall where only the Duke of the Kingdom can live. At present, Xun Yi has no titles and cannot live there at all, so it is closed as early as the Imperial Palace.

The meaning of the prince's words is undoubtedly to show that if he ascends the throne in the future, he will restore the Duke of the Xun family.

Xun Yi did not comment and did not respond to the prince's words. He asked the prince to change his clothes in the Imperial Palace and leave first.

After Xun Yi left, the prince lowered his face: "Sure enough, the Xun family is still unwilling to get involved in the battle for royal power?"

According to the status of the Xun family, no matter which side wins the Xun family, it will be stable. Moreover, the crown prince is the crown prince after all. If Emperor Chengyuan came in person, Xun Yi might be a little respectful, but the crown prince...

But the current crown prince is the crown prince after all.

"How do you think he has a cultivation level?" Prince Ping stepped down and asked the sorcerers around him. These princes were accompanied by masters. The sorcerer had been promoted to the third level of heaven, condensed the golden elixir, and had the skills to live forever. After pondering, he said: "The head of the Xun family does not have any extraordinary power, just like a mortal. However, when he thinks about the rumors that he is a innate swordsman, it seems not simple. Moreover, the Xun family also has its own sorcerer, so it is inconvenient to investigate."

"The Xun family has Qingyuan Palace, and my Great Zhou Kingdom really dare not suppress them too much." The prince was in a complicated mood, and he was obviously unwilling to be such a suppressed monarch.

If his palace ascended the throne, he would revitalize our Great Zhou Dynasty into an imperial dynasty and unify Zhongzhou. How could my descendants of the Heavenly Emperor bow their heads to others?

At present, even the Emperor of Great Zhou is only comparable to the gods. If the fortune of the Great Zhou country is improved, the emperor can be on par with the innate gods.

After thinking about it, the prince changed into his regular clothes and went to Dongxue Pavilion.

Dongxue Pavilion is a banquet venue specially prepared by the Xun family for the winter snow banquet. On the side of the plum palace, the water from Jinghu is taken as a ditches and painting canals, and Dongxue Pavilion is located in the pool.

Koi and green turtles can still be seen in the surrounding water. There are lights and decorations in the pavilion, and the heads of each family sit down according to their location.

When the prince arrived, everyone stood up and worshiped him and asked the prince to sit down with Xun Yi.

The prince scanned the venue, and except for many male heads, the mistresses of each family were not present. She looked at Xun Yi, and Xun Yi said, "You guys and your mother have not seen each other for many years, and are currently reminiscing about the past in the backyard."

The prince raised his eyebrows and remembered his mother's instructions. This time he came to find out what happened to Zhao Ying.

"If the Xun family wants to ask the heads of each family to help distinguish the true and false, it is better to take the opportunity to identify all four of them as fake, so as not to be unfavorable to me in the future."

This dynasty is not without a precedent for marrying a widow. Emperor Yingzong once married a widow in his middle age and later was named a concubine, which was of great power in the palace. Emperor Mingzong was able to take office because of the help of this concubine.

If Zhao Ying enters the palace and gives birth to a son and half a daughter, hum... the prince is unwilling to be charged with killing his brother in the future.

"And I believe that this kid Xun Yi will not let his father be cuckolded, right?"

The prince's mind flew around, and only heard a loud bang from the backyard, and another burst of laughter resounded over the old house.

"My sister, Fairy Nairui Palace, came to earth. It was just because of the cause and effect of Pingxian in the past, so there was such a real and false chaos. Now that the merits are complete, I will wait for you to come back in the Heavenly Palace."

The prince was shocked, and Xun Yi looked surprised and hurried to the back to ask. Not long after, Li Lan came over to report the causes and consequences.

Xun Yi invited the mistresses from each family to meet Zhao Ying in the backyard, and said something to tell the truth about the four people. Because Ren Huan was there to help, he used magic to deceive the other three people, which made the three people unable to answer many questions.

Now, the real and false are distinguished by one's own fault. The mistresses understand the truth, so they naturally escorted Zhao Ying and detained the other three people. At this time, the demon god took action. He used his magical power to attract fog, took away all three fake bodies, erased the memories of the other two people, and returned Zhao Ying's heavenly soul to Zhao Ying. He left a passage before leaving to explain the causes and consequences for Zhao Ying.

"As he said, the reason why the mistress of the Xun family was caught in the trouble of truth and falsehood is that she was still a fairy and goddess in heaven who came down to earth? That fake person was also the one in heaven who asked her to seek revenge?" The prince thought in his heart and automatically figured out how Zhao Ying escaped the disaster back then.

Escape in the water, perhaps it was her relationship with the reincarnation of a man from heaven?

The demon god did not show any water when doing things. In the end, he helped Zhao Ying and put everyone's suspicion.

Next, Zhao Ying and her mistresses walked into Dongxue Pavilion.

Seeing his mother returning to the Xun family with a legitimate reputation, Xun Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled on his face and personally invited Zhao Ying to his seat.

In the winter snow banquet, the poisonous fish is a highly poisonous substance, and the toxins are mostly on the shark fins. Shark fins are also the most delicious part of the shark fins.

There is a porcelain jar in the center of each table, and the jar is made of shark fin mixed with eighteen kinds of medicinal materials, which can strengthen the body and drive away cold and replenish yang. The nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted this part of driving away cold and replenish yang energy in winter.

There are 80 tables in the Winter Snow Banquet, each table has a white soup made of fish fins and three-piece dishes cooked with fish meat. One is fresh fish fillet, the second is milk fish stick, and the third is steamed fish eggs. These four dishes are genuine dishes, and there are various other dishes that match the Winter Snow Banquet.

Winter snow is pure white. All dishes at the winter snow banquet are beautiful with whiteness. The dishes remain pure white, and at most they are decorated with green leaves and red flowers, so they should not be overwhelmed.

The most popular way to eat at the winter snow banquet is to sit in the shed and grow a stove, lean against the plum blossoms, watch the heavy snow of goose feathers.

Taste the red plums in the snow and taste the winter wine and fish. This is the most traditional way to eat it in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After Xun Yi and others held a banquet, snowflakes began to fall outside without realizing it. A table of simple and elegant fish feasts was more elegant.

However, if Meng Han was here, he would definitely scold Xun Yi for losing his family. Eighty fish, dozens of taels of silver each, plus other side dishes and various Chinese medicines, all of which were all over the place, and even five thousand taels could not be beaten at this banquet.

After the banquet, the heads of each family talked with the people from the Xun family. Zhao Ying felt something and left temporarily on the excuse of changing clothes.

Coming out of Dongxue Pavilion and facing the west wind of Suxue, she tightened the leopard fur on her body and came to the plum palace not far away.

Many plum trees in the plum hall are about to bloom, and the red flowers reflect the snow scene. There is a man wearing a hidden blue robe standing there.

When Zhao Ying saw the visitor, she sighed quietly: "You are a body of thousands of gold, you come here secretly without saying hello. If something really happens, our Xun family can't afford it."

The man turned around and saw Zhao Ying's face as usual, and was deeply moved: "You are still like that for so many years."

"But you look a little older than you did." Zhao Ying walked over with a smile, standing next to the man and looking at the vast snow scene in the distance: "I guess there are many places that give you a headache?"

"Well, the things your Xun family did in Southern Zhou are enough to bother me."

Thinking back to the time when the five people were swimming together, but now things have changed, the two of them sighed.

Xun Yi noticed something when Zhao Ying left. After all, the old house of Xun's family was his realm. He felt the dragon energy approaching and wanted to go over and take a look. But after thinking about it, he sat in Dongxue Pavilion without moving.

He played with Yuzhan with a deep thought look on his face...
