Chapter 122 Birthday Banquet

The next day, on the birthday of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor held a banquet for Ganquan Palace to entertain officials and envoys from various countries. On both sides of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there were several seats, namely the Prince Li Luoyan, the King of Zhennan Li Fu, the King of Zhenxi Fang Che, the King of Liuyang Li Xiu, the King of Changliu Li Zhi, and the King of Qin Li Luozhi. Behind were the General Ye Zhi, the Prime Minister Wang Fuzhi, the Seventh Prince Li Luochen, and the last one was Ye Bai, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and two seats, which was very eye-catching in many people's eyes.

"The birthday party begins."

The sharp voice of the eunuch Gao Hong announced the start of the birthday party. The kings, princes, civil and military officials all presented the birthday party. Each one was a rare treasure of heaven and earth, as if it was not a birthday party on earth. When it was Chi Fang's turn, he went up with a wooden box and handed it to the eunuch. The eunuch opened the wooden box and saw it, and frowned instantly, and hurriedly handed the wooden box to the emperor himself. The gifts before were all placed in the Emperor's Lecture Department.

When the emperor saw the eunuch's expression, he opened the wooden box with a smile. When he saw that there was a small immortality pill inside, he looked puzzled. He had heard that Ye Bai had made friends with an alchemy venerable, and he guessed that Ye Bai would give him elixir, but he didn't expect it to be the immortality pill. The master once said that he only had three years of life and he had already accepted his fate, but as an emperor, there was no reason not to be greedy for immortality. Ye Bai was really brave.

There is a line of words under the elixir, which says:

"The world is no longer human, and the gods are not destined to heaven. Why did the emperor accept his fate as a three-year-old and take this pill?

I am willing to call Your Majesty forever.”

The emperor put the pills in his arms, and his expression was a little gloomy and sunny, which made all the kings and officials look at the emperor one after another. The emperor quickly looked at Gao Hong, and Gao Hong also shouted:

"Entertainment of the foreign countries has promoted the ceremony."

A sentence broke this silence. For a moment, all officials looked at several envoys from various countries. Among them, the envoys from Jiuhua Kingdom made Ye Nu look very familiar, Su Xiaoxiao and Qin Wuji. As soon as they appeared, they attracted everyone's attention. The man was handsome and elegant, while the woman had a beautiful appearance and a beautiful posture. Moreover, both of them were cultivators at the level of formation. This inevitably changed people's original impression of Jiuhua Kingdom.

The seventh prince Li Luochen was not a lustful person, but today he kept looking at Su Xiaoxiao, as if he had met his dream lover. This scene happened to fall into the emperor's eyes, and the emperor could only shake his head.

In addition to the seventh prince, Prince Li Luozhi also looked at Su Xiaoxiao a few times. At this time, Su Xiaoxiao also looked back at Li Luozhi. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then looked in another direction. The emperor naturally saw this scene, and the emperor asked Gao Hong beside him:

"This Jiuhua girl allows you to know the relevant information?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, Jiuhua Kingdom governs the country by teachings, and this woman is a new elder of Jiuhua Palace, and she is a rare young hero."

"So, how many wives and children do Zhier have?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, the Crown Prince has only his concubine Wang, and he has two royal grandchildren."

"Well, it's time to establish the crown princess."

The emperor's words were a big deal. The eunuch Gao Hong had already begun to instruct his left and right to investigate the horoscopes of the officials' daughters, while the emperor seemed to be fine. He continued to look at the two envoys of Jiuhua, and his mind was on the immortality pill. Who doesn't want to live forever? It's just that even the master said that God's will is difficult to violate, so can he really go against the will of heaven?

Su Xiaoxiao and Qin Wuji's gifts were for treasure chickens. This chicken seemed like a phoenix with colorful feathers, spreading its wings to attract the eyes of all officials. The emperor also loved it very much. After the birthday ceremony, the banquet was officially held. Several countries also brought specific singing and dancing programs. Among them, the sword dance of the Ming Dynasty was the most cheerful and practicing. Ye Nu seemed to have become a transparent person at this dinner. Others formed gangs, while he drank alone and thoughtfully watching the sword dance. When the sword dance ended, he also left his seat and walked towards the Jiuhua seat, showing a smile to Su Xiaoxiao:

"All the beauties today are not as good as you, I don't know if I can drink together."

"Are you the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

"That's right, a little slight gift, doesn't make any respect."

Ye Nu took out a bottle from his sleeve. Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao had to accept it. She came this time and happened to make friends with the marquis. However, she was toasted on the surface but she did not expect that Qin Wuji, who was next to him, also stood up and said to Ye Nu:

"Xiaoxiao has never drunk alcohol, so I will make it for her."

"Yes, just drink it."

Ye Nu returned to his seat, while the emperor dispelled the idea of ​​marrying Jiuhua Kingdom. At the same time, he became more afraid of Ye Nu. What is the purpose of this son's desire to make me live forever?

The emperor's birthday party ended soon, and at the Four Kingdoms Mansion, Su Xiaoxiao opened the bottle. When she saw the familiar Yuanling Pill, she and Qin Wuji both showed surprise. After so many years, Su Xiaoxiao has been looking for news about Ye Nu, but this person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Now, he may be the major general of the empire, and he can't match it in terms of time and temperament!

"Qin Wuji, do you think it's possible?"

"Even if you are not a senior brother, you may have a close relationship with the senior brother."

When the two were struggling, the prince had already arrived at the prince's mansion. As the envoys, both of them had to go out to greet him. The prince talked to the envoys of various countries, while the other side seemed to be looking for someone. When Su Xiaoxiao and Qin Wuji arrived, Prince Li Luozhi showed a gentle smile and bid farewell to a Confucian scholar in the Ming Dynasty. Then he walked directly to Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao and Qin Wuji also quickly bowed:

"The envoy of Jiuhua Kingdom, Qin Wuji, and Su Xiaoxiao, have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The two visitors are guests, and there is no need to be polite. I have long heard that Jiuhua Kingdom is a country of monks. Now that I have seen the two, I understand that what I said is not false. I don't know if I can ask for advice."

"We just understand the basics and dare not show off."

Although Qin Wuji knew that having contact with His Highness the Crown Prince would be of great benefit, as a national envoy, it was not good to have more contact with the prince of a country, so he refused the prince's consultation. When Prince Li Luozhi felt embarrassed, the crowd outside the door suddenly became lively. It turned out that the seventh prince Li Luochen was also here, and he carried four boxes of things. He asked the others to carry three boxes to the embassy of the Ming, Ming and Song dynasties, and he brought two to the Jiuhua embassy. When he saw that the prince was also there, the seventh prince saluted:

"It seems that the emperor is the same as my purpose!"

"The seventh brother was joking. My father asked me to visit the envoys of the four countries for him. I wonder what happened to the seventh brother?"

"The cook of Wanxianglou has been changed, so I let the envoys from all over the world taste the deliciousness of my Shengtang."

Li Luochen looked at the servants behind him, and the servants quickly opened the box, and saw that there were layers of hot food inside. The fragrance alone made many people very greedy. Although Su Xiaoxiao and Qin Wuji were cultivators in the formation, they were also a little greedy. Seeing this, Li Luochen immediately asked the servants to bring the food to the table, and then he took out the two jars of fine wine inside, and then he said to Li Luozhi:

"The emperor's brother hasn't left the palace for a long time, should he taste it together?"

"No need, my father still has a dinner party to ask me to accompany me, so I will leave first."

The prince left with his entourage, while the seventh prince Li Luochen opened a jar of wine without hesitation, and then smiled and asked the two to sit down and eat together. Jiuhua Kingdom had long been in contact with the seventh prince, so he naturally needed to sit down and talk. The two asked the waiter to retreat, and the seventh prince also asked the servant to leave, leaving only a middle-aged monk with a low sense of presence.

"I wonder what instructions the Son has?"
