Chapter 156 Everyone is here
The flow of people at the palace gate gradually thinned out, and most of the guests had already entered the palace.
At this moment, three carriages drove in front of the palace again, with luxurious and exquisite exterior decorations.
Zheng Minglou narrowed his eyes and looked at the three carriages with cold eyes.
I didn't expect that His Majesty would call them here tonight.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and three tall and long-legged young men got out one after another and looked towards the palace gate.
The guards from the Central City Army Division under Zheng Minglou all turned their heads and stared at the three men.
"..."
Murong Chi took two steps and then stopped, looked at his outfit, and made sure there was no problem before continuing forward.
Murong Jian snorted and followed behind with a look of world-weariness, muttering in a low voice:
"Everyone is like a night owl, with their eyes wide open, are they going to eat people?"
Murong Hui walked at the end, his face was a little pale, and he covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed softly as he walked.
He looked up and met Zheng Minglou's gaze, a slight smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and his light pink lips looked quite bad.
Zheng Minglou stared at the three protons and almost stripped them of their clothes for a thorough inspection. In the end, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the three of them.
The few people nodded slightly to each other and passed by each other.
Murong Jian was still complaining in a sarcastic tone:
"My life as a hostage is so hard. My driver runs away and is nowhere to be found. My brother is so sick that he is coughing up blood, but he still has to attend the banquet..."
Mixed in with his voice were Murong Chi's low warnings and Murong Hui's occasional coughs.
Zheng Minglou didn't care at all. For a hostage from a defeated country to be able to travel in such gorgeous clothes, it was already a god-like life!
The guards around him breathed a sigh of relief.
By this point, there were no more monsters outside the palace.
Everyone's tense spines relaxed for a moment, and then they saw a meteor flash across the sky, followed by a dozen monks riding on flying swords and heading straight for the palace gate.
"It's someone from the Divine Sect! That's great!"
One of the guards whispered excitedly.
Zheng Minglou's eyes also showed a sense of relief.
In the final analysis, the demons detected tonight still have to be eliminated by these monks.
Everyone from the Shenzun Sect landed in front of the palace gate.
Led by Duan Qingkong, almost all the people stationed in the Shenzunmen Hall are now present.
They could have flown directly into the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, but out of respect for the emperor of the mortal world, Duan Qingkong brought his disciples to the outside of the palace gate.
Zheng Minglou bowed to Duan Qingkong:
"Your Majesty has set up a special passage for the immortals. Once you enter the palace, there will be palace servants to lead the way."
Duan Qingkong nodded slightly and walked inside without saying a word.
Xiao Ce and Yao Ye followed closely behind.
The young disciples of the Shenzun Sect spend most of their time either practicing or going down the mountain to complete missions. Although they usually have no shortage of supplies, this is their first time to come to a magnificent imperial palace like the Great Chu Imperial Palace.
Qingying walked in the middle of the team, glanced critically at the guards outside the palace gate, and finally her eyes moved a few times at Zheng Minglou's face before a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.
Zheng Minglou looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, his sight always fixed on the area three inches in front of his feet, allowing Qingying's gaze to rest on his face as if it were real.
Soon, everyone from the Divine Sect entered the palace gate, and a woman's voice was faintly heard in the wind:
"Most mortals are coarse and smelly, but these gatekeepers are actually pretty good-looking, especially the leader..."
All the soldiers in Zhongcheng Bingmasi were martial artists and heard it all clearly. A look of humiliation appeared on the faces of the young men.
They are all children of prominent families. In addition to their family background, they are also good-looking, otherwise they would not have been selected to join the Zhongcheng Bingmasi.
They are the guards of the palace and the face of the palace.
But in the woman's words, they were just a group of "gatekeepers".
After the city gates were closed, Zheng Minglou turned towards the palace with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Aren’t all the people in the Godly Sect such frivolous and arrogant people?
Why did he feel vaguely uneasy?
The inner courtyard of the palace.
Due to the large number of people, Emperor Shengwen simply arranged the dinner in the Imperial Garden.
The Queen Mother originally claimed that she had been ill for many days, but when she heard that tonight's palace banquet was for the recovery of her two grandsons, she felt a little better and even took the initiative to request to attend the palace banquet.
Emperor Shengwen felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
The palace banquet tonight is somewhat dangerous, and he is not in a position to tell the Queen Mother the truth for fear of scaring the old lady. If he does not let her come, he is afraid that the old lady's good mood, which she has finally come, will be ruined.
After much thought, he took the hollow golden egg with him and then invited the Queen Mother to the banquet.
As long as the Queen Mother is by his side, he should be able to receive the protection of that miracle.
The lights are on and the moon is hanging on the branches.
Most of the people at the palace banquet had no idea what was going on tonight, and they were all happy to attend such a lively palace banquet.
Queen Lin attended the banquet in formal attire. The phoenix crown on her head was very dazzling, her lips were painted with bright red lipstick, and her smile was generous and appropriate.
The women at the table did not dare to look Queen Lin in the eye, but they could not avoid exchanging glances with her in private.
After all, His Majesty held such a grand palace banquet because the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince had just recovered from a serious illness.
The third prince is a man of great literary talent, and the fifth prince looks very similar to the current emperor.
The fact that these two people are in good health is not a good thing for the prince.
Crown Prince Chu Hantian had been sitting securely on the throne and had lived in comfort for ten years, but now that this palace banquet was being held, he was afraid that he would have to tread on thin ice.
There was no expression on Chu Hantian's face. He just held Feng Xiaolou's hand and stood silently beside Queen Lin.
There are quite a few female relatives attending the palace banquet tonight, and the principal wife and two concubines chosen for him by his father, the Emperor, and his mother are naturally also present.
Before the banquet, Feng Xiaolou had tears in her eyes and was reluctant to come, but he insisted on bringing her here.
He wanted to let those three women see clearly that Xiaolou was the apple of his eye.
Anyone who bullies her will be left alone in the future!
While thinking, Chu Hantian's sharp gaze moved to Zhang Jingwan's face.
Zhang Jingwan drooped her eyelashes slightly and did not look at Chu Hantian.
She had already told her father that Chu Hantian was not a good match for her. Her father regretted it deeply but had not yet figured out how to cancel the engagement.
At the palace banquet tonight, Chu Hantian wished he could hold Feng Xiaolou in the palm of his hand and announce it to the world. This would be tantamount to a slap in her face, and even more so a slap in the face of the Zhen'an Marquis' Mansion.
Chu Hantian stared for a long time, but didn't get a look from Zhang Jingwan. Feeling depressed, he looked at Zhou Xuan and Zheng Yuxu again.
But Zhou Xuan had a blank expression on his face, as if he was not interested in anything in front of him.
Only Zheng Yuxu's eyes met his and looked straight into Chu Hantian's eyes.
Chu Hantian looked up and down at Zheng Yuxu and put his arm around Feng Xiaolu's shoulders.
Zheng Yuxu just watched quietly, the corners of her rosy lips slightly raised, and she actually smiled, raised her glass, and toasted Chu Hantian from afar.
She was so graceful and elegant that the pitiful Feng Xiaolou seemed a little embarrassing.
Chu Hantian put his hand down unconsciously.
Feng Xiaolou bit her lips lightly, her eyes slightly red, but she didn't dare to look up.
In fact, there was a cold light in his eyes.
Yue Ran took Yue Si Ning's hand and sat not far away, watching the eyelid lawsuit between these people with boredom.
Ever since she dripped the well water made by Si Ning, the Feng Xiaolou she saw had snake scales all over her face and neck, but she still looked shy.
It's really an eyesore.
