The Phoenix Arises Chapter 28.3

Chapter 28 . 3: Banquet

The appearance of Duanmu Qing and Si Yun Han stirred up a bout of heated debate .

“Did you see the young man beside Heir Qing? I heard that he was decreed by Her Majesty the Lady Emperor to wed Heir Qing . ”

“Oh? It’s Great General Si’s eldest son . ”

“Isn’t it said that he’s with Her Highness the Crown Princess? Why is he now decreed to Heir Qing now?”

“Who knows? I heard that Duke Jing personally went to the palace to propose for the decree . ”

“Sigh . It must have been because Her Highness the Crown Princess was missing for so long and he thought that there was no more hope, so he turned his attention to Heir Qing . ”

……

Si Yun Han’s good looking face was so dark it was frightening, his entire body exuding a cold chilling aura .

Sensing the forbidding chill coming out from Si Yun Han, Duanmu Qing curled up the ends of her lips in a scornful smile .

“Announcing the arrival of Her Majesty the Lady Emperor, His Majesty the Phoenix Empress, Her Highness the Crown Princess, and Young Master Xuanyuan… . . ”

Upon hearing the voice raised in announcement, everyone immediately went quiet, all of them falling to a kneel in greeting .

“Long live Her Majesty the Lady Emperor, tens and tens of thousand years . Long live His Majesty the Phoenix Empress, thousands and thousands years . Long live Her Highness the Crown Princess, thousands and thousands years . ”

Duanmu Xue in her bright golden phoenix robe came walking in slowly with Huangfu Che as they entered the Phoenix Ceremonial Palace .

Duanmu Shuang secretly raised her eyes slightly to look towards Huangfu Che’s direction and her eyes flashed briefly, mesmerized .

[He is still just as beautiful looking . Even dressed in such simple white clothes, it did not diminish the noble and elegant grace in the slightest . Even in the glamorous Imperial Palace here, he will forever be the most dazzling existence . ]

Duanmu Xi was following just behind Duanmu Xue and was dressed in her usual pure white, her hair bound with a silvery white ribbon, elegant and aloof, who immediately drew the eyes of all the men in the hall to her .

Duanmu Xi’s brows were knitted up, immediately exuding a chill forbidding air around her .

She did not like the feeling of being the focus of everyone’s attention and that was the reason why she did not like attending functions like this . She was like this in modern times, and it was the same for her in ancient times here as well .

Xuanyuan Mo had also felt the people’s gazes and a murderous aura immediately flared out .

[These people dare to covet his Little Xi? They are just courting their own death . ]

Seemingly frightened by Xuanyuan Mo’s murderous aura, all the men who were harbouring thoughts for Duanmu Xi did not dare to let their eyes stray anymore, all of them lowering their heads and looking down on the floor .

Sensing the rippling wave of aura behind them, Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che turned their heads behind at the same time . Seeing the two people where one had brows deeply furrowed, the other his handsome face dark as thunder, Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che looked at each other and smiled, both of them thinking that the scene was so familiar .

The young ones behind them were exactly like them when they were young . The two children would surely become as blissful as they were now .

Duanmu Xue led Huangfu Che to step up onto the raised seat, and facing the people kneeling in greeting before her, she raised her hand to indicate for everyone to rise .

“Everyone may rise . ”

“Thank you Your Majesty . ”
