Chapter 667(1/2)
Chongming Palace.
Tables and chairs have been prepared inside and outside the palace.
The seats have also been arranged.
The etiquette officer stood at the door, personally greeted the distinguished guests, and led them to sit down in their respective seats.
Princes from neighboring countries, senior officials of the five major sects, and members of the royal family all entered the palace.
The remaining guests could only sit outside on the seats on both sides of the red carpet.
When the distinguished guests in front sat down and began to enjoy the royal hospitality, the people behind were still walking towards Chongming Palace one by one.
Everyone in the Qin family followed behind.
As he turned to enter the gate of Chongming Palace, Luo Qingzhou suddenly saw the tall, arrogant and cold figure in Tsing Yi under the big tree at the intersection.
Bai Ling also looked over.
Linghu Qingzhu stood under the tree, looking away, with a cold face, as if waiting for someone in the other direction.
When everyone in the Qin family passed by her, she still looked into the distance with a calm expression.
Song Ruyue glanced at her, her eyes lingered on her tall chest for a moment, then she looked down at her own chest, and left silently, muttering something in her mouth, not knowing what she was talking about.
When Luo Qingzhou passed by her, she was still looking in the other direction without squinting.
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to look more, didn't dare to stop talking to her, and continued walking forward.
But at this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from his ears: "Chu Feiyang, my uncle hopes that you can come to the palace today to win glory for our Lingxiao Sect. The Huashan Sect is also here, and we must defeat him. You can pretend later.
When you get drunk and leave for a martial arts competition, I will come out of the palace to pick you up."
Luo Qingzhou was startled when he heard this, but still did not turn around to look at her.
But Bai Ling's crisp voice suddenly came from behind: "Sister, what's your name?"
Luo Qingzhou's face froze, he stopped and looked back.
Bai Ling stopped in front of Linghu Qingzhu and looked at her with a smile on his face, looking innocent and innocent.
Linghu Qingzhu withdrew his gaze from the distance, looked at her coldly, and said, "Is something wrong?"
Bai Ling smiled and said: "It's okay, I just see that my sister is good-looking and I want to talk to her."
Linghu Qingzhu took one look at her pretty, pink face and her beautiful, harmless eyes, and said expressionlessly: "I don't want to talk to you."
Bai Ling blinked and said, "Why?"
Linghu Qingzhu gave her a cold look, ignored her, turned around, and walked straight towards the palace.
When passing by Luo Qingzhou, she still looked ahead, without squinting, as if she didn't recognize him.
Bai Ling looked at her arrogant back, pursed her lips and snorted, walked to Luo Qingzhou and muttered: "Isn't it just bigger over there? What's the air?"
Then he added: "She is still growing, and sooner or later she will be better than her, hum!"
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and continued walking forward.
Bai Ling quickly followed behind and chirped again and asked: "Uncle, do you really not know her? Is it just because she is older that you keep peeking at her? Uncle, you... um..."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly stretched out a finger, blocked her chattering mouth, and threatened in a low voice: "Stop talking. If you are found talking too much later, you will be pulled out and have your tongue cut out."
Bai Ling opened his eyes wide and froze in place, his mouth slightly opened, wondering if he was frightened.
"Boo~"
Luo Qingzhou took his fingers out of her mouth and walked forward quickly.
"Bah! Bah! Bah!"
Bai Ling froze on the spot for a few breaths, then suddenly spat, wiping his small mouth with his sleeve, and chased after him and said: "Uncle, how could you..."
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and glared at her.
Bai Ling shivered in fear and immediately suppressed the words in his mouth.
The group entered the palace and, greeted by a ceremonial officer, sat down in the last row of the courtyard.
There was a red carpet on the middle road leading to the palace. The roads on both sides of the red carpet were filled with tables. At this time, there were already people sitting behind the tables.
Of course, only two people can sit in one seat, and the rest stand behind.
Qin Wenzheng and Song Ruyue sat down.
Luo Qingzhou and Qin Chuan, as well as Bai Ling and Mei'er, all stood behind them.
Tea and cakes were served on the table first.
Everyone stood in the square for most of the day. Naturally, they were hungry and thirsty at this time, so they all kept their heads down, talking, drinking tea and eating.
In the palace, the eunuch's sharp voice could be heard faintly.
The emperor and the queen mother arrived and came out of the curtain at the back.
The distinguished guests in the palace immediately stood up, bowed their heads and paid homage respectfully.
Although people outside the house were envious, they did not dare to go in at will. They could only stretch their necks and peek inside.
At this time, an old eunuch came out, came to the back, took out the list in his hand, and read: "Jiangnan talent Liu Sansi, Zheng Yinong, Bai Yulou, Yujing talent Zhang Hua, talented girl Su Wanqiu, please
Come into the palace with our family."
At this time, several scholars in Confucian robes walked out from behind the seats on the left and right sides, following him into the hall with faces full of excitement and nervousness.
After they all left, Song Ruyue whispered in a low voice: "Master, why is there no Qingzhou in our family?"
Qin Wenzheng looked into the palace with a calm expression and said nothing.
At this time, Nangong Xueyi, dressed in a snow-white dress, walked out of the hall quickly, waving excitedly: "Master Luo, come in with me quickly."
Just as Luo Qingzhou was about to walk towards her, someone suddenly grabbed his large sleeves. He turned around and saw Bai Ling blinking his eyes and pleading pitifully: "Uncle, can you take Xiao Bai Ling with you? Xiao Bai Ling."
Bai Ling also wants to go in."
Luo Qingzhou frowned slightly, and just about to refuse, Nangong Xueyi, who walked over, immediately said: "Bailing, follow me, you can be my maid, you can go in."
When Bai Ling heard this, he immediately smiled. He immediately let go of Luo Qingzhou's sleeves, went over and grabbed her sleeves affectionately, and said with a flattering face: "Princess Xueyi, you are so kind."
Nangong Xueyi smiled and said, "Just stop talking nonsense later."
Bai Ling immediately covered his mouth and said, "Yeah, I just won't say anything."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and followed behind.
Nangong Xueyi led them into the palace, walked directly behind a row of seats on the right, and stopped behind Prince Nangong and the princess.
Nangong Meijiao and two maids were also standing there.
The talented people who had just come in were also standing quietly in the corner.
At this time, in the main hall, the princes from neighboring countries were making introductions.
On the high platform.
Emperor Nangong Yang was sitting on the dragon chair, behind the room was covered by a bead curtain. Sitting there was the graceful Queen Mother and the eldest princess in a fiery red dress. Only their clothes and outlines could be seen, but their faces could not be seen clearly.
The dishes have already begun to be served on the table, and there are all kinds of delicacies.
The aroma of food and wine spread throughout the hall.
This time, a total of five princes from neighboring countries came, namely Damore, the third prince of the Badan Kingdom, Gray, the fifth prince of the Mongolian Empire, Lang Xiao, the second prince of the Beicang Kingdom, Jin Shitai, the crown prince of the Gaoqi Kingdom, and Qi Shitai of the Loulan Kingdom.
Prince Louzijun.
Behind each prince stood several scholars and warriors.
At this time, Prince Gray of the Mongolian Empire was introducing the most talented and brave man behind him, looking quite proud.
The Dameng Empire is located in the north of Dayan, and its land area is even larger than Dayan. It is the most powerful among the five countries, even compared to Dayan, it is not inferior.
There are often some minor frictions between the Mongolian Empire and Great Yan, but they are both wary of each other's strength, so they both exercise restraint and mostly focus on negotiation.
So this time the Mongolian Empire came to congratulate and proposed a marriage with Dayan. Dayan, from the Queen Mother to the courtiers, all agreed.
Of course, as for the marriage partner, there is a lot of controversy.
Some people support the marriage of the eldest princess, while others strongly oppose it.
Those ministers or nobles who objected, most of whom were veterans, reported that the eldest princess was the national treasure of Dayan, a military genius, and could never take advantage of the Mongolian Empire, etc.
In addition to the Mongolian Empire, the Badan Kingdom is located to the west of Great Yan. Its location is also extremely important, and its national power cannot be underestimated.
The Beicang Kingdom has a feud with Dayan and hopes to turn their feud into friendship through this marriage.
As for Gao Qi and Loulan, they are both small countries, and neither the queen mother nor the court officials would agree to marry the eldest princess to them.
However, after all, the other party is also a neighboring and friendly country, and it is still very important to maintain a good relationship. Therefore, after discussion, the emperor and ministers of Dayan unanimously decided to send other princesses or princesses to make peace with them and win over them.
"Dear Your Majesty, this is Su Tu, the most talented man in the Mongol Empire. He has been fond of your Dayan culture since he was a child. He is proficient in your Dayan's poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting..."
"This is Ashlan, the number one warrior of our young generation in the Mongolian Empire. She has been gifted with extraordinary talent since she was a child and has immense strength. She is only twenty years old this year. She has just broken through to the mid-term level of a great martial artist. She just won first place in the martial arts test last year...
