Chapter 1329: Enter the palace (23)
The third day.
During this period, Mu Fusheng did not go out again.
Instead, he received a message from the prince.
In order to prepare for military exercises, the emperor held a banquet in the palace and invited them to the palace.
This kind of thing cannot be refused.
When a few people left the small courtyard, a carriage was already waiting outside the door.
One of the guards raised his hands to Mu Fusheng and the others and said, "You three, get in the carriage quickly. There is no need to delay the palace banquet."
The three of them nodded, got on the carriage, and rushed towards the palace.
Kowloon Palace is located in the center of Kowloon City.
By the time they reached a hundred miles around the palace, the place was completely closed to air, and even the strong ones in the ancestral realm could only walk past it obediently.
At the same time, the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty is also worthy of the name of the Divine Dynasty.
The palace is surrounded by clouds and mist, and the huge front door decorated with golden dragon patterns exudes a strong aura of majesty. Once the carriage enters the door, you can feel the flawless security.
Once here, everyone must undergo extremely strict inspections.
Going inside, Fang Qiong opened the carriage door curtain and looked around. The tall stone pillars standing on both sides are engraved with the names and achievements of the emperors of the past dynasties. The walls are made of thick special stone bricks, and are surrounded by statues of rare and exotic animals, which fully demonstrates the power of the bloodline!
All the way forward, passing through tall walls, the guard knocked on the door frame of the carriage and whispered softly: "You three, you can come down now. From now on, just follow the flow of people. Don't go to other places. Once If you are discovered, Im afraid you will be mercilessly killed by the palace guards!
Mu Fusheng and the other three got off the carriage and followed some ministers dressed in royal robes and walked forward.
The ministers were also looking at the three of them, and did not feel surprised. They seemed to have already known about them.
Fang Qiong said: "It seems that the powerful people here have known about our existence for a long time."
Mu Fusheng said calmly: "That's natural. Nowadays, the internal affairs of the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty are in turmoil. A single move can affect the whole body. Naturally, we have to pay close attention to everything."
After walking for half an hour, a few people arrived at the main hall.
On both sides, long tables have been set up.
Hundred civil and military officials were already seated in front of the long table.
At the end of the long red carpet, on top of the stairs, there is a tall throne. The seat is inlaid with thousands of gems mixed with rich fairy spirit, shining with dazzling light. There are hangings on the wall behind the seat. A large number of precious calligraphy and paintings are placed next to the dragon and phoenix harp. When the harpist plays the harp, the ethereal sound of the harp is like fairy music.
This is the throne of the Emperor.
The moment Mu Fusheng and the other three came in, they felt countless eyes locked on them.
Soon, the prince also waved in front and said: "Come here and sit behind me."
Mu Fusheng originally wanted to refuse to sit in the last row, but seeing that Xiao Hei and Fang Qiong had already sat down unceremoniously, he had no choice but to walk over.
When passing by the crown prince and taking the first place.
There, the third prince and the fifth prince are also sitting here.
There is also a tall man, who is obviously the eldest prince.
However, these are not noteworthy. What made Mu Fusheng helpless was that Jiu Bailu was also sitting quietly among them. When he passed by, Jiu Bailu gave him a meaningful look.
The three of them were sitting behind the prince.
The prince looked at the three of them with a smile and said, "How are you doing? Are you feeling stressed?"
Xiao Hei asked back: "Is the prince under pressure?"
The prince laughed and said, "I'm too talkative. Let's wait for now. We'll start after everyone gathers. There may be some invitations to fight later, but you can refuse if you don't want to."
Xiao Hei and the other three nodded.
After another hour, all the civil and military officials arrived.
At this moment, a high-pitched sound accompanied by the loud sound of bells and drums came from outside.
The emperor is coming, and hundreds of officials are waiting to welcome him!
To the right of the throne, a man wearing a golden dragon robe walked out step by step. His face was cold and his eyes were bright. He came to the throne and sat down. The civil and military officials below knelt down and said to the man: "See your Majesty!"
The same is true for the prince.
Mu Fusheng and the other three bowed slightly to the emperor without kneeling down.
Soon, this scene also attracted the attention of others.
The civil and military officials frowned slightly.
The eldest prince at the top of the list yelled: "How outrageous! Why don't you kneel down when you see the emperor?!"
Xiao Hei said in a cold voice without being humble, "We are not from the divine dynasty. Although we respect the emperor, we are not our parents and masters. Why should we kneel down?"
Even heaven and earth do not kneel down. How can one of the gods and the emperor make Xiao Hei and others kneel down?
The eldest prince said angrily: "Bold! Come on, suppress these rude people!"
The prince looked at the eldest prince and frowned slightly.
At this moment, the emperor's rich voice came over: "The proud son of Hunling Academy, there is no need to kneel down, and don't mess with the etiquette."
The eldest prince nodded.
The emperor looked at Xiao Hei and the other three, and nodded with appreciation: "You are worthy of being the genius of Hunling Academy. The prince often praises you. Now that I see it, you are not in vain."
The emperor has given you too much praise.
Okay, all my dear friends, please sit down flat on your back. The emperor pressed his hands. Immediately, everyone felt an irresistible force lifting their bodies up and pressing them in front of the long table.
We wont talk about political affairs today, but the military exercises are about to begin. I would like to use today to ask you about your situation.
Arms exercises are a regular activity held every ten years by the Nine Dragons Dynasty.
At the same time, it also tests the strength of the army.
After some questioning.
The emperor suddenly looked at Jiu Bailu, who was the first person under the crown prince, and said with a smile: "Egret, I have never seen you attending these banquets in all these years. Why do you want to come today?"
At this point, the civil and military officials couldn't help but look at Jiu Bailu curiously.
That's right, Jiu Bailu, as the second prince, has always been a unique being.
Has extremely evil talent but doesn't fight for it.
At the same time, it rarely appears in the public eye.
Let alone this kind of banquet.
Mu Fusheng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
No way
Jiu Bailu raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled, and the tear stain on the corner of his eye looked extremely attractive.
Im just very curious about a person, so I want to come and have a look.
Curious about a person?
Everyone was shocked.
When did Jiu Bailu become curious about someone?
Only the prince's lips slightly raised, and he knew who Jiu Bailu was talking about.
The emperor asked curiously: "Who has such a great ability that makes you even curious, Egret?"
Jiu Bailu smiled lightly but did not answer, but Mu Fusheng could clearly feel the woman glance at him.
"Father, please allow me to keep this a secret. I will know it later."
Mu Fusheng was relieved.
But he is also a little depressed, why is this woman targeting him?
Looking back on everything that happened before, there was nothing that offended her!
