Chapter 203: Why do immortals need to worship the emperor?
Fang Muye looked down and saw four people walking into Qianjin Terrace one after another.
The first two people, one of them was dressed in white robes, with a handsome face and elegant temperament, like a scholar, but his eyes were dim and dull. He was obviously blind. He was Xiao Chong, the White King.
Xiao Chong, supported by the attendant in green, slowly walked into the hall quietly and indifferently.
The two people who followed closely behind him were led by a frail man wearing red clothes. Although he was handsome, he had an unruly and dandy attitude. As soon as he entered the door, he cursed: "You are hungry."
Are you a dead ghost? Why are you here so soon? Can't you wait for me?"
Almost all the guests at the Qianjin Terrace stood up and saluted: "See His Highness the White King, His Highness the Red King."
Xiao Se glanced at the White King and Red King who were walking in front of him, and said, "Two of you, it's been a long time since we last met."
"Sixth brother, long time no see." Xiao Chong's voice was gentle but cold.
"Brother Six, you've lost weight and lost weight. Now that you're home, don't run out and take good care of yourself at home." Xiao Yu's tone was full of ridicule and impatience.
Xiao Se smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I won't leave in a short time when I come back this time. I originally thought that you wouldn't come today."
"There was something urgent in the house just now, so there was a delay. The sixth brother finally returned to the capital after traveling for many years. As the emperor's brother, it is natural that he would not miss it." Xiao Chong was polite and polite as always.
"Sixth brother has a great reputation. All the officials from the three sects and nineteen palaces are here. Even the Grand Master and the Supervisor are here. How dare I not come." Xiao Yu spoke openly as always.
Xiao Se smiled and said: "No matter whether seventh brother wants to come or not, he will come after all. Once he comes, he is a guest. Please take your seats."
"Want to sit at the same table with you?" Xiao Yu suddenly asked.
"Of course not." Xiao Se turned around and raised his head: "My place is over there."
After that, he jumped up and flew to the attic above the high platform that was truly made of a thousand pieces of gold.
Mr. Tu swung his sleeves and finally shouted out the two words he had been holding back for almost two hours: "Let's have a banquet."
This grand banquet finally started.
The maids in white gowns were walking among the Qianjin tables carrying exquisite plates. All kinds of exquisite and delicious delicacies and mellow-flavored wines were quickly filled with tables one after another.
Hua Jin stretched out his chopsticks, picked up the vegetables carved into the shape of a flower, and said happily: "Master, look, this dish is really beautiful."
Fang Muye smiled slightly: "Not only does it look good, it's also delicious. You're still growing, so eat more."
"Yeah, it's delicious." Hua Jin put the vegetable into his mouth and chewed it twice. His big, watery eyes immediately curved into two crescent moons.
As Fang Muye tasted the fine wine and delicacies, his eyes occasionally passed over the court officials on the second floor, and he found that most of them showed a trace of absent-mindedness, always glancing at the people in the attic as if they were inadvertent.
After all, none of them really came here for this royal banquet, and King Yong'an couldn't have spent so much effort just to hold a simple banquet.
In their opinion, Xiao Se's intention of placing his position in the pavilion on the high platform was obvious, so that he could talk to many of them privately in the future. And what they talked about, the deal
Whatever happens will become the biggest secret of this banquet.
But Fang Muye already knew that Xiao Se had no intention of negotiating with them at all. He invited them to the banquet just to tell them that he was back and he would not win over any of them, but they could do it themselves.
Decide, choose to follow, or choose to fight.
Time passed slowly, and when I saw that the banquet was about to disperse from dusk to moonrise, Xiao Se actually did not invite anyone into the high pavilion. The guests present were all shocked and full of confusion. On the contrary, it was the Imperial Master Qi Tianchen and the Grand Master Dong.
Zhu, there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
Suddenly, there was a sound of iron hoofbeats outside the Qianjin Terrace, and then a message sounded outside the door: "The Holy Spirit has arrived!"
In Qianjin Terrace, the whole place was silent for a moment, and everyone was shocked.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty would actually attend this banquet today. It turns out that Your Majesty is still as kind to his sixth prince as before.
Almost all the guests on the second floor stood up and rushed downstairs, and everyone on the first floor also stood up and faced the door, ready to greet the guests.
A moment later, two columns of fierce elites were seen rushing in from the gate. Their armors rubbed against each other, making a cold and solemn sound. Their shoulder armors were all tattooed with exquisite tiger head patterns, representing
The identity of their tiger benlang.
After these two columns of tiger warriors entered Qianjin Terrace, they stood guard on both sides.
Afterwards, two more rows of young palace maids filed in and scattered on both sides, revealing the five people behind them wearing purple python robes.
One of them has a face like a crown jewel, an outstanding demeanor, and a pair of red phoenix eyes with some indescribable charm. Although the gray on his temples reveals his age, it also adds a bit of immortality to him. He is holding a
The incense burner is none other than Mr. Jinxian, the incense supervisor.
The man has a square face, a calm expression, and a temperament as gentle as jade. Although he is wearing luxurious robes, he looks more like a middle-aged Confucian scholar. He is holding a classic in his hand, and he is none other than Eunuch Jinyu, the supervisor in charge.
The man was tall and thin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he had an aura of calmness and authority. He was holding the sword that governs the country, and it was none other than Eunuch Jinwei, the sword supervisor.
The man was short and fat, with a big belly, and a flattering smile on his lips. He looked down at the man with low eyebrows. He was holding the imperial seal, and it was none other than Eunuch Jinyan, the master of the palm seal.
The last person had white hair and two eyebrows that were also snow-white. There was a hint of majesty in his eyebrows. He stood behind the four eunuchs and looked at the people in Qianjin Terrace silently. He was none other than the leader of the five eunuchs, Eunuch Jinxuan.
.
Eunuch Jinxuan put his hands in his sleeves and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is here!"
Following his shout, Emperor Mingde, dressed in a golden dragon robe, with a resolute face and eyes as sharp as blades, entered the Qianjin Terrace at a rapid pace.
Almost all the people in Qianjin Taichung knelt down immediately and without any hesitation, they respectfully shouted: "Welcome Your Majesty!"
The reason why I say almost all of them is because there were three people who did not kneel. One was the Imperial Master Qi Tianchen and the other was the Grand Master Dong Zhu. However, they also bent down to salute. The other one was Xiao Se. Not only did he not kneel, he even
They didn't even bow, they just stood upright.
"Bold, who are you? How dare you refuse to bow to His Majesty when you see him?" Superintendent Jinxuan suddenly shouted loudly.
However, the people he asked were naturally not the Imperial Master, Grand Master and Xiao Se, but the two figures, one large and one small, who were still sitting on the second floor.
Following Emperor Mingde, the commander of the imperial army in silver armor, Huben Captain Li Changqing, immediately put his hand on the handle of the knife and looked sharply at the second floor.
Hua Jin sat next to Fang Muye, his head almost shrinking into his neck.
When she heard that the emperor was coming, she wanted to get up and go downstairs with others to pick him up. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by the master with his hand. At this time, she looked at the people kneeling in the hall, as well as the five eunuchs and Hu Benlang.
The sharp look made her feel really nervous and worried: "Oh, I'm still a child."
