Chapter 1053 Take Off the Veil

Elder Qianfang took the saintesses and the three accompanying maids of the Holy Witch Clan to greet the emperor.

"Elder Qianfang doesn't need to be too polite. I have always regarded the Holy Witch Clan as my own, so every year the welcome banquet is a family banquet. Only my own people and the banquet are not too grand. Elder Qianfang is not too shabby as long as it is."

"The emperor's words are serious, Qianfang is flattered."

After the salute, under the guidance of the eunuch, the group sat down at the head of the Xiliang Emperor, with only a few steps between the two tables. The emperor of Xiliang used this to show how much he valued the holy witch clan.

Liu Yusheng lowered his eyes, covering his eyes to sneer.

On the surface, she did a good job, but the emperor of Xiliang really didn't know what other people thought of the women of the Holy Witch clan?

Open one eye and close one eye.

Because in his own heart, he has never looked down on the Holy Witch Clan.

Who will hold a tool aloft to be enshrined?

"There was an accident during the selection of the saints. I have already heard from Eunuch Wei that the holy blood golden silkworm was lost in the border town, which made it impossible to check the bloodlines. In the end, Eunuch Wei brought the six saintesses into the palace together as a last resort." The emperor of Xiliang leaned back in his chair halfway, his eyes slowly swept across the saintesses, "But please go back and tell the elders, don't worry, since the saintess has entered the palace, I will definitely not treat you badly." They must be treated well."

"The emperor loves you so much, Qianfang will definitely report back when she returns."

"That's good. I'm afraid that the Great Elder will misunderstand me and affect the relationship between the Holy Witch Clan and the royal family. Then the loss outweighs the gain."

"yes."

With both kindness and power, he first lowered his posture a little to express his apology, and finally used a sentence to make the Holy Witch Clan remember the consequences of sinning against the royal family.

Disgusted by those words, Liu Yusheng rolled her eyes secretly, people like the Xiliang Emperor are the real scourge for thousands of years.

Due to a momentary emotion, Liu Yusheng had no idea that her little expression was caught by a pair of eyes.

Diagonally opposite the seat of the Holy Witch Clan, the man was pouring wine and holding a cup, covering his smile with the movement of tasting wine.

It's interesting that a maid of the Holy Witch Clan has such a lively expression.

A few small words, the food and wine are served, and the banquet officially begins.

"Banquet -" the eunuch's soft and thin voice dragged on, and after he finished speaking, the palace music rang out.

The music of silk and bamboo is all the rage, adding a relaxed atmosphere to the banquet hall.

Create an illusion of peace through singing and dancing.

However, the bitterness in the eyes of the saintesses, no matter how beautiful the music is, cannot be smoothed away.

Several people ate in silence, silently accepting the arrangement of fate.

Xu Shi felt the depression emanating from them, even Qian Lan, who was the liveliest, didn't dare to speak after the whole banquet.

From time to time, he raised his eyes to scan a few people, and finally buried his head lower and lower.

Seeing that the banquet was coming to an end, Liu Yusheng thought that she could go back to Yanshou Palace to rest without incident, and didn't want someone standing up on the opposite side.

Liu Yusheng's heart skipped a beat immediately, and he had a bad premonition.

Looking up, it was the prince Qian Lan bumped into.

"Grandfather Huangxuan—"

"Hmm!" Liu Yusheng almost choked on the occasion, so she suppressed the cough, her face flushed red.

Her eyes flicked around, but luckily, no one noticed her gaffe.

It was really shocking to hear grandfather Huangxuan suddenly, five generations live under the same roof. She really wanted to know how Grandson Xuan felt when he saw Grandfather Xuan at his age, and still picking saintesses to make up for him every year.

She privately thought that they should be quite depressed, after all, Grandpa Xuan was always strong, and the throne was nowhere in sight for them.

Many of them secretly hoped that the old emperor would die soon.

No way.

Secretly mocking the Xiliang royal family, when the woman didn't notice that she was about to lose her composure, the voice of the man who stood up across from her almost imperceptibly paused.

"——My Xiliang royal family and the Holy Witch Clan have been in contact with each other for nearly a hundred years, and they are already our own people. My great-great-grandson thinks that in such a family feast, the elders of the Holy Witch Clan and the saints don't need to continue to wear veils. Everyone should It’s the most basic etiquette to be honest with each other.”

All the women of the Holy Witch Clan raised their eyes together, looked across in surprise, and then looked at Elder Qianfang, their eyes filled with bewilderment and panic.

It is a rule in their clan to wear a veil outside.

But the prince opposite said that removing the veil is a basic etiquette, so what should they do?

If you really want to ignore the family rules for the sake of etiquette, how will you explain to the great elder when you go back?

Liu Yusheng is not a member of the Shengwu clan, and she doesn't have the sense of panic that they have, but since it is a clan rule, naturally it cannot be easily broken. She is sure that Elder Qianfang will not agree, but...

Qian Fang has already said, "I also ask the emperor and the prince to forgive me. It's not that I'm not willing to be honest. It's just that women from the Holy Witch clan must wear a veil when walking outside, and they cannot show their true colors. The emperor has always been loyal to the royal family, and the emperor and the royal family also have great love for our holy witch clan, Qianfang believes that the emperor and the prince will understand our difficulties."

"Could it be that Elder Qianfang and the woman from the Holy Witch Clan don't show their true colors?" The man opposite smiled warmly, but his words were aggressive.

Qian Fang frowned, "It's a different matter among the clan."

"It's fine in the clan, but why not here? Could it be that the elder is not in a hurry to trust the clansman because of Grandfather Huangxuan?"

"My lord, this cannot be generalized."

"Why not? Just now Elder Qianfang himself said that he is loyal to Grandfather Huangxuan and the Xiliang royal family, right?"

"..." Qian Fang was speechless, and at the same time, her heart was raised suddenly, and she looked at the emperor.

If the emperor also thinks that her so-called loyalty is just talking nonsense, she will definitely offend Longyan, and the emperor is afraid that she will offend the holy witch clan!

The old emperor was sitting at the top, and his posture had hardly changed since the banquet, and he was always leaning half of his body on the back of the chair, very relaxed.

But at this moment, those half-opened and half-closed pupils that were flickering were slowly lifted up, the emperor's prestige was undisguised, and it was so breathtaking that people almost dare not look directly at it.

"I have always regarded the Holy Witch Clan as my own, and the elders should know about it. There is some truth to what Ba Nian said, and I really want to know, do the elders also treat me as their own?"

Qian Fang's face gradually turned pale, her eyes flickered, and after a while, she looked sideways at the person she brought with her, "Take off the veil."

"Elder..."

"Take it off!"

The emperor is already angry.

Liu Yusheng sighed silently, she knew this would be the result.

It really has nothing to do with trust at all.

But the heart of the emperor is unpredictable.

As an emperor, he is most afraid of others guessing his mind, and also most afraid of being manipulated by others. When Elder Qianfang defended the Holy Witch Clan, he said something wrong.

Originally, the emperor didn't have to ask them to take off their veils, so what difference did it make to him whether to take them off or not? As long as he wants, the holy witch clan woman will fall into his hands.

What made him change his mind was precisely Qianfang's refusal.

Goblins, I had a power outage at nine o'clock again, and now I am using my mobile phone to update. I couldn't code words at night, and originally planned to update ten chapters. What is missing now can only be filled during the day, I hope everyone understands. There is also an unfortunate news to tell everyone, it will be changed to three chapters starting tomorrow. Because the editor said that I wrote too fast, I have to start controlling the number of words, otherwise it will affect the life of the book hahaha. The number of words updated is much higher than that of the author of the same period... I hope everyone will understand, I have been working hard for half a year, and I have to take a break. Also, I reject all blades, bricks and other weapons here, we must love peace~
