After waiting for a while, the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall stopped for a while.

Zhu Xiuyuan quickly straightened his clothes. It seemed that the emperor was going to summon him.

Although Zhu Xiuyuan was a little dissatisfied, but... people had to bow their heads under the eaves!

What's more, this "eaves" is a royal eaves, made of iron, so it can't compete!

Sure enough, as the sound of silk and bamboo paused, the young eunuch walked out of the hall and asked Zhu Xiuyuan to come in.

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately took two steps forward and came to the middle of the gate. Then he turned around, faced the inside of the gate, crossed the high threshold, and walked quickly inside.

The little eunuch was pretty good and explained to Zhu Xiuyuan the etiquette of paying homage to the emperor in advance.

He also told Zhu Xiuyuan that in addition to Emperor Chen, there was Concubine You on the throne in the main hall, and both of them had to salute.

Zhu Xiuyuan lowered his head, walked quickly to the middle of the hall, bowed to the ground and bowed: "I, Sima Zhu Xiuyuan of Jiangzhou, pay my respects to your majesty, and pay my respects to the noble concubine!"

Influenced by the braid drama of later generations, Zhu Xiuyuan almost shouted the slogan "Long live our emperor", but he stopped him.

For now, there is no such item in the etiquette of paying homage to the emperor.

The ceremonial ceremony between the king and his ministers in the Chen State was relatively simple, requiring only one bow to the ground.

Moreover, this kind of courtesy from the emperor and his ministers is relatively rare, and it does not need to be done every time you see the emperor.

Generally, it is only required when visiting the emperor for the first time, when going to court, and when holding major ceremonies.

Normally when you see the emperor, you only need to bow and salute.

Since it was Zhu Xiuyuan's first time to pay homage to Emperor Chen, he bowed to the ground and paid homage to the emperor.

"No gift!"

Sitting high on the dragon throne, Emperor Chen opened his mouth.

This voice is neither loud nor heavy. It seems full of energy at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I feel a little empty...

Zhu Xiuyuan got up from the ground and cupped his hands again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the ceremony, Zhu Xiuyuan looked up.

I saw two people sitting on the dragon throne!

Among them is a man wearing a yellow robe, who must be the emperor of Chen State, who is in his forties.

Zhu Xiuyuan took a first look and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This emperor really looks like he has overindulged in lust."

The other person on the dragon throne is not a simple person, she is a well-dressed lady.

Judging from her noble attire, it is not difficult to guess that this is the noble concubine You Lihua!

At a quick glance, Zhu Xiuyuan felt that Concubine You was a goblin.

I believe anyone who looks at her will be moved with excitement... so Zhu Xiuyuan doesn't dare to look any further.

And... Emperor Chen and Concubine You are not paying attention. You are meeting foreign ministers, why are you still... hugging each other like that? Don't you pay attention to your image?

For the pure Zhu Xiuyuan, this scene was really eye-catching.

So he just took a quick glance and immediately looked away.

However, Chen Huang's next words almost made Zhu Xiuyuan spit out a mouthful of blood.

I only heard Chen Huang say: "Oh, you are that Jiangzhou Sima Zhu Xiuyuan? Raise your head and let me have a look."

this……

Damn it!

Zhu Xiuyuan was going crazy. "Raise your head and let me take a look." Isn't this what he should say to a woman?

Could it be that this Emperor Chen is... Eh!

Zhu Xiuyuan shivered all over.

However, he had another thought: "Probably not, because the emperor is holding Concubine You, which means his orientation is very normal."

Although he felt resentful in his heart, Zhu Xiuyuan still raised his head as he was told and looked at Emperor Chen... and Concubine You on the dragon throne.

I can't help it, this Concubine You is simply too eye-catching.

Especially when the old emperor next to him is not so handsome, he is actually just a foil.

The flowers and green leaves are paired together. As long as there is no problem with one's eyes, one will naturally look at the flowers!

Who can see the green leaves?

When Zhu Xiuyuan looked at Emperor Chen, Emperor Chen and Concubine You also looked at Zhu Xiuyuan carefully.

"Haha!" Emperor Chen suddenly laughed up to the sky and let go of Concubine You.

Maybe he also felt that it was inappropriate to cuddle in front of a "child".

Because Zhu Xiuyuan is only fifteen years old now, which is really too young.

Although he tried his best to dress up like an adult, in the eyes of a discerning eye, Zhu Xiuyuan was just a hairless, young boy.

After Chen Huang laughed for a while, he patted his knees and praised: "Not bad! Not bad! I wish you, Aiqing, to have such achievements in your weak years. It is really a blessing to my country, Chen!"

Concubine You also covered her mouth and smiled: "I heard about Zhu Sima's deeds earlier and thought that Zhu Sima was at least over 20 years old, but I didn't expect... Zhu Sima was so young and still a handsome and handsome boy!

"

Zhu Xiuyuan was at a loss for a moment, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary, and your concubine is so praised!"

Chen Huang's praise was nothing.

But as for Concubine You...can such a joke be made?

I recall that when Zhu Xiuyuan just traveled through time, he was just a little beggar, and had nothing to do with being graceful.

Ever since he moved into Dong's house, he has been well-dressed and well-fed every day, and there is also a special maid to help him take care of his appearance.

In addition, there is a mature and well-informed soul living inside him.

Over time, Zhu Xiuyuan has become a handsome young man with a great appearance and superb temperament!

Although this is true, but coming from Concubine You's mouth... isn't it a little weird?

In fact, Zhu Xiuyuan was overly worried, because he would later discover that both Chen Huang and You Lihua were serious "members of the Appearance Association"!

To put it bluntly, they judge people by their appearance.

"I wish you dear, I heard that the new tea was also created by you? That sobering tea is very effective, I really like it!" Chen Huang asked Liu Shubao with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed true!"

"Oh, then tell me, how did you come up with the idea of ​​using an iron pot to fry tea?" Chen Huang and Liu Shubao put on an expression as if they were listening to the story, with a smile on their lips.

You Lihua also stared at Zhu Xiuyuan curiously.

Therefore, Zhu Xiuyuan retold the same rhetoric he used to deal with Dong Shuyu.

Zhu Xiuyuan is a human being who is not afraid of any situation, so he is neither humble nor arrogant when facing Emperor Chen. The language of his narration is also clear, and the logic of his narration is more able to withstand scrutiny...

Emperor Chen and Concubine You nodded frequently when they heard this, and said to themselves: "Yes, he is indeed a talent who can achieve such achievements at a young age. Just listening to his conversation is extraordinary..."

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!"

After listening to Zhu Xiuyuan's narration, Chen Huang smiled broadly, stroking his goat's beard, and said: "Zhu Aiqing, just a new tea is an achievement that will last forever, and the method of preventing and controlling the plague will be used by countless people..."
