There were two people sitting at the head of the hall. One of them was a man in a golden Chinese robe. The man was tall and burly, and his facial features were firm and three-dimensional. His eyes were shining with a bright light, even though he was sitting quietly at the moment. It could also be seen that this person had the powerful aura of a superior.
It was just a simple look, but it made people feel depressed.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiuyuan's heart slowly calmed down.
This person was the ruler of the Western continent, and his abilities were definitely extraordinary. Hence, he could not be careless.
Huangfu zongzao, who was standing beside Xiao Jiuyuan, cupped his fists and stepped forward to salute him.""Your subordinate greets the Emperor."
Xiao Jiuyuan also stepped forward and said,""Your subordinate greets the Emperor."
The man at the head of the table did not say anything to avoid the father and son's salutations, but just stared at Xiao Jiuyuan with his deep eyes.
The hall was cold and silent.
After a long time, the Emperor finally spoke,""Save the formalities, please sit."
A eunuch quickly came out and brought a chair for Huangfu Zong and Xiao Jiuyuan to sit down.
After they sat down, the Emperor smiled and said,""Huangfu Zong, is this your son? He doesn't look like you. "
Huangfu Zong's heart sank, but his expression did not change. He slowly stood up and said,"Emperor, Yan 'er has inherited my and his mother's good qualities. That's why he is so outstanding."
"Oh, this kid is a lucky one."
The Emperor said casually, but after a while, he said again,""However, this one thinks that he looks a bit like Consort Zhen."
As he spoke, he turned around to look at Consort Zhen, who had been sitting quietly beside him.
Consort Zhen was the first wife's daughter of the Huangfu clan, named Huangfu Xi. When she heard the emperor's words, she chuckled and said,"Emperor, he's my nephew. It's normal for him to look a little like me."
The Emperor held Huangfu Xi's hand tightly. Huangfu Xi could feel the pain in her hand, but what hurt more was her heart.
Her son, her son was right in front of her, but she could not recognize him, could not call him, and could not show any emotion. If she showed any emotion, the Emperor would suspect that the son she gave birth to that day was not dead.
If that happened, everything they had done would have been in vain.
As Consort Zhen thought about it, no matter how much pain she felt in her heart, she still looked at the Emperor with a smile. The smile on her face was carefree, and no emotion could be seen at all.
However, the Emperor did not let Consort Zhen go. Instead, he stared at her with a dark gaze, not letting any expression on her face escape his eyes.
Under his gaze, Consort Zhen's back was covered in a layer of cold sweat, but she didn't dare to show it.
If he showed any weakness, the entire Azure Dragon Family would die.
Consort Zhen thought about it and said with a smile, "What's wrong with the Emperor?"
The Emperor slowly retracted his gaze and chuckled,""It's nothing. I was just thinking about Xi 'er's dead child, so I was a little moved. "
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Jiuyuan. His beautiful and gorgeous face was like jade, his black eyebrows were narrow, his Phoenix eyes were shining, and his moist lips were red.
The emperor's heart burned with anger.
He didn't expect the young master of the Huangfu family to be so outstanding.
Not only was her face extremely beautiful, but her every movement was also difficult to conceal her outstanding grace.
Especially when she was being sized up by him, she was not afraid at all. Not only was she not afraid, but she was also calm, elegant, and indifferent.
