RPAGF Chapter 535 Extra Thank You Banquet (2)
Chapter 535 Extra Thank You Banquet (2)
It was a nightmare. Xie Zhiyan suddenly woke up from the couch, with cold sweat on his forehead. The dazzling sunlight shone in from the carved windowsill.
He sat up suddenly, his back tensed, but the expected sharp pain did not come.
Wasn’t he kneeling in the ancestral hall last night?
How come the scars on my back that were so painful that I felt like they had all disappeared as if I had woken up overnight?
wrong!
Xie Zhiyan suddenly lowered his head and tore open his shirt, revealing the sword wounds and scars on his chest... all gone.
He quickly reached out his hand to the back and felt a smooth...
Xie Zhiyan's pupils trembled. He lifted the fur quilt and rushed off the bed anxiously to the bronze mirror in the hall. At a glance, he saw his own reflection in the bronze mirror. His lips were red, his teeth were white, and his complexion was very good. He didn't look sick at all.
He turned his back and saw in the sunlight that the muscles on his broad back were clearly defined, and every inch of his skin was smooth and flawless, without even a trace of whipping.
Xie Zhiyan's eyes suddenly widened, and the fingertips that touched his back trembled faintly...
He is...
"grown ups!"
"Sir, it's already daybreak, why haven't you gotten up yet?"
"Sir, we are coming in..."
Familiar voices came from outside the door. They were Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.
"Sir, we are coming in..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dormitory door was pushed open from the outside, and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu walked in.
The two were also stunned when they saw Xie Zhiyan standing in front of the bronze mirror with his upper body naked, in a daze.
"Oh, my lord, it's already so late, why do you still have time to look in the mirror?" Zhao Hu hurried into the inner room, pulled off the brocade robe on the wooden hanger, and when he shook it open, it brought out a crisp pine scent.
Zhang Long also went to fetch some water and helped Xie Zhiyan wash up.
"Sir?" Zhao Hu saw that he didn't move, and rubbed his hands anxiously, "Sir! Why are you looking in the mirror for no reason?!
"Your Majesty is selecting a concubine today. If you don't set off now, it will be too late..."
Before Zhao Hu could finish his words, Xie Zhiyan had already grabbed his wrist.
"What did you say?" Xie Zhiyan's blood froze instantly, and his voice rose several degrees.
"What talent show?!"
Zhao Hu was stunned: "Of course it's His Majesty's selection of candidates. This is the first election since His Majesty ascended the throne. Didn't you instruct the Dali Temple yesterday..."
Your Majesty's selection?!
Xie Zhiyan's mind exploded - he was really back, and back to the day when Jiang Wantang entered the palace for the selection.
He took the brocade clothes from Zhao Hu's hand, and with a flash of his body, he was already in the yard in almost an instant.
Under the stunned gazes of Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, Xie Zhiyan strode towards them, walking very fast and impatiently.
"My Lord! Your robe..."
Not wearing it yet?
Before he could finish his words, the person disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhiyan's cold and sullen voice echoed in the air, which was transmitted through the air.
He said, "Zhang Long, go to Xunhuan Tower to find Zhao Yi and ask him to come to the palace immediately to do something for me. Hurry!"
"Yes!"
After he finished speaking, Zhang Long disappeared in the yard.
"Are you guys going to be so fast?!"
"Your Majesty, there's no rush for the selection, right?"
"Hey, sir! Wait for me..." As he said that, Zhao Hu hurriedly chased after him holding Xie Zhiyan's outer robe.
At this time, on the long streets of the capital.
The city is bustling with activity, the crowds are crowded, and red silk is hung high...
"Step aside--!"
A loud shout suddenly rang out, tearing through the noise in the street. It was Xie Zhiyan riding his horse at full speed.
His dark purple outfit fluttered in the wind, and the jade belt around his waist jingled, like the sharp whistle of a blade being unsheathed, chilling and intimidating.
The red silks scattered on the street were shredded by the horses' hooves, and the lanterns of the vendors on both sides were shaken violently...
The golden sunlight slanted down, outlining a light and dark outline on Xie Zhiyan's stern profile, adding a bit of sharpness and loneliness.
"It's Lord Xie, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"Thank you, sir!"
Everyone stepped aside and made way.
However, Xie Zhiyan turned a deaf ear to him, and his cold eyes only showed the towering palace wall in the distance.
Although I don't know why I woke up one night, time really went back to the past.
But whether it is true or a dream.
If he had the chance to do it all over again, he would never let her enter the palace again, and he would never let her go again.
Jiang Wantang...this time, you will fall into my hands.
I'm sorry, little fox...
Xie Zhiyan curled his lips slightly, his clear eyes showing three parts of frivolity, three parts of recklessness and four parts of determination.
"drive--!"
"drive--!"
"..."
Just thinking of that cunning figure made Xie Zhiyan's blood boil. He whipped the horse hard, and the horse neighed as it rushed through one street corner after another.
When he rushed to the last intersection, he saw a long procession of people welcoming the bride slowly moving forward, with gongs and drums blaring and suona playing in a festive atmosphere...
The bright red wedding procession covered the long street like a wave of blood. The red silks all over the street, and the bright red phoenixes embroidered with gold thread on the eight-man sedan chair were dazzling in the sun.
Xie Zhiyan was thinking it would be bad to intrude on the wedding procession, so he was about to turn his horse around and take another route...
But when he turned around, he saw clearly that the groom in the lead, dressed in a bright red wedding dress and riding a tall horse with a high-spirited and dignified demeanor, was none other than Xiao Jingheng, the young Marquis of Pingyang.
The end of the wedding procession is the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Jiang family?
Jamel Xiao and Jiang Wanfu's wedding? !
Yes, how could he have forgotten that the day of His Majesty's selection of concubines was also the wedding day of Xiao Jingheng and Jiang Wanfu...
Thinking of the chaotic and messy daily life after their marriage, Xie Zhiyan smiled with a sarcastic smile.
Both of them are a couple who will never be happy. Even if the wedding procession collides with them, it doesn’t really matter, right?
After all, he was in a hurry...
So, Xie Zhiyan thought so and actually did so.
He rode his horse directly towards the direction of the bride's reception...
"drive--!"
"Step aside--!"
Everyone in the wedding procession was so frightened that they all stepped aside...
The originally orderly procession into the street suddenly became chaotic.
The groom Xiao Jingheng, who was in a bright red wedding gown, was furious and shouted, "Thank you for the banquet!"
"Today is my wedding day. You are going too far by intruding on me like this!"
Xie Zhiyan rode his horse without stopping and said in a loud voice, "I'm sorry, Young Marquis Xiao, but I have to take the initiative today."
"When the young marquis gets married next time, Xie will definitely bring a generous gift."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Zhiyan rode away on his horse.
Xiao Jingheng was left frozen in place with a gloomy face. He looked at his receding figure, clenched his fists, and said through gritted teeth: "Thank you! Zhi! Yan!"
"You wait for me!"
However, Xie Zhiyan didn't care and just kept rushing towards the palace.
If it were someone else, he would definitely not do this.
Who made Xiao Jingheng and Jiang Wanfu offend and bully his little fox?
He is a person who always protects his own people and never forgets to take revenge.
Finally, among the long line of luxurious carriages in front of the palace gate, Xie Zhiyan spotted the carriage from the Prime Minister's Mansion...
(My dears, spoiler alert: in the next chapter, Master Xie will go and grab the bride~)
