Chapter 142: Tea House Summoned
Several people present nodded and returned their greetings, followed the eunuch and walked towards the side door of the hall.
The group of people walked unknowingly and became tall and short. Song Zhi and Cao Shu beside him were competing secretly, and they were unwilling to leave the first one.
"Why did Lord Song hit me?" Cao Shu asked knowingly.
"Ahem, I just want to get closer to see why the hair on Lord Cao's head is so lush."
Song Zhi hinted that Cao Shu was short of winter melon, and Cao Shu was frustrated in his self-esteem, and he actually raised it by 0.1 centimeter again, and spoke calmly:
"Mr. Song, there are all the big men behind you. Why do you, a woman, keep inserting in? Wouldn't you stand in front?"
Song Zhi immediately took a deep breath when he heard this, but when he thought of the supervisor's instructions, he gritted his teeth and let go of his fist and ignored Cao Shu and stood at the first place.
Taking advantage of this time, Song Zhi quietly observed the few talents behind him, saying that there were ten people, in fact, there were only six of them present. I think most of the other four were not from the capital and failed to come in time.
Everyone was pursing their lips slightly at this moment, showing nervousness. After all, they were about to meet the Saint, which might be an opportunity for them.
Walking out of Chaoge Hall, the noon sun is a little dazzling but not vicious, but instead warms the late autumn and makes people feel more comfortable.
Following the eunuch down the jade steps, Song Zhi walked on the brick road in the palace and saw that the huge palace was only the Sei-Senior Guards and some palace maids and eunuchs who were in a hurry, and they seemed empty.
No matter how magnificent the imperial city is and how majestic the palace walls are, what cannot be hidden in this solemn atmosphere is still the deserted feeling.
"I heard that when Emperor Wencheng ascended the throne, he was also a romantic emperor. He took concubines to add children to the thin-blooded imperial clan Xiao family. As a result, as soon as he gave birth to the crown prince and the second prince, he suddenly changed his temperament and worked hard to govern the government, and even dismissed most of the harem."
"Until now, there are only three more princes and one princess, which is too few for the Emperor."
When Song Zhi thought of the gossip that his senior sister said, he also recalled the open and secret struggle between the second prince and the prince. He couldn't help but sigh that the emperor's royal family lived in the world's largest house, but did not have the smell of home.
It's not as comfortable as the sect leader's farmyard.
Walk out of the square and walk through a marble arch, behind which is the back garden.
There are strange flowers and plants planted everywhere here, which looks bright and charming in the sun, and tall flowers and trees are shaded into forests. At the end of autumn, the wind blows and flowers fall, and thousands of flowers lay layer after layer on the ground. The entire backyard is like snow falling, which is very beautiful.
“So beautiful…”
Song Zhi and the others spoke in unison, shocked by the beautiful scenery.
Then, a string music came slowly, and everyone looked at it and found that the music came from a tea temple. The ancient trees around the attic were towering and green, and the red walls and yellow tiles were magnificent.
The eunuch stopped, spread his hands in the attic, and bowed and said, "The Lord will wait for you in it."
"The father-in-law leads the way if he is working."
Song Zhi nodded and returned his greeting, and walked directly to the Cha Temple.
Song Zhi strode into the Cha Temple, the sound of wind chimes under the eaves sounded crisply, and the music inside also stopped abruptly, as if waiting for him to lift the curtain.
“…”
Song Zhi, who was originally calm and natural, suddenly froze his hand and looked speechless.
Why did you stop the music suddenly? You suddenly became nervous!
Bang.
Cao Shu, who was behind him, did not stop the car, and immediately rushed into the attic.
He quickly stood up, and Song Zhi suddenly felt a few gazes sweeping over. Fortunately, Cao Shu and others also walked in at this time.
"My minister Cao Shu meets the emperor!"
"The king of ministers silently meets the emperor!"
"Chen Zhang Chonglou meets the emperor!"
"minister..."
"...The Sword Master!" Song Zhi tried to take action, and he was so anxious that he was beaten.
In front of them were two rows of short tables and futons, and at the end was Emperor Wencheng sitting cross-legged. On both sides of him were several princes and the princess.
"Don't be too polite. In the future, you will be the future pillar of my Dayuan. Let's find your own position to sit." Emperor Wencheng waved his two big sleeves, as if he was in a good mood, and he was not affected by the envoys of the northern border just now.
Then Song Zhi felt a hot gaze and looked up and it turned out that Xiao Nianhe was looking at him. He deliberately did not sit in the seat close to Emperor Wencheng, but gave it to the princess.
Xiao Nianhe patted the futon beside him, shaking his body and looking full of expectations.
Song Zhi: "..."
He thought that Xiao Nianhe would regret giving the Jade Pearl to him sooner or later, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
Why, I am more important than your father?
What Song Zhi didn't know was that he guessed it right.
Walking in front of Song Zhi was Cao Shu. As a princeling, he was unwilling to sit next to the second prince, but when he accidentally glanced at the second prince's hopeful eyes and actions, he was immediately flattered.
The second prince wants to win over me too?
Well, you can pretend to be squinting in front of the prince.
So he looked at the second prince with a smile, slowly lowered his butt and was about to sit down, but found that the second prince's eyes suddenly became cold when he looked at him, and then the four words that made his spine feel cold were squeezed out from the second prince's mouth:
"Go to die."
"Okay." Cao Shu stood up against the ground like a spring, patted his butt and turned around to walk away, and found that Song Zhi was standing behind him.
He immediately understood something, shouted in his heart that he was a sin, and patted another Junjie in disheartened state: "You go sit inside, I sit outside."
Song Zhi had no choice but to take over Cao Shu's position and had already arrived at his butt before he could even sit down the cushion.
"?"
Looking at the second prince who was attentive beside him, Song Zhi quietly used secret force and pulled the cushion and sat down by himself.
It was not over yet. Before Song Zhi could sit down his butt, a cup of hot fragrant tea was placed on his desk by Xiao Nianhe.
As Xiao Nianhe finished his movements, Song Zhi, who was conscious, looked up and realized that everyone present was staring at him.
Several heroes were shocked, the prince frowned slightly and looked suspicious, while the princess turned her head to look at him, with gossip all over her eyes, and the princes were also a little curious.
Even Emperor Wencheng stopped the words he was about to say, looked at this side quietly, blinking his eyes to hide the shock.
"I..."
Song Zhi held the teacup in his hand, feeling a little at a loss.
Damn!!!
Xiao Nianhe, are you sick?
"Ahem."
Emperor Wencheng coughed twice, attracted everyone's attention, and spoke:
"Since I ascended the throne, you are the heroes I summoned by the tenth year, but this time is different from the previous ones..."
After saying that, Emperor Wencheng looked at the prince beside him, glanced at the second prince again, and continued to speak:
"After I, Dayuan will continue to operate, and this future belongs to you."
After Emperor Wencheng finished speaking, the prince who had been waiting for a long time stood up, raised the hot tea in his hand and handed it forward:
"I hope to work with you to maintain the power of the great abyss, disperse the demons, and tame the alien race!"
Cao Shu and the other three immediately stood up and responded, and the other two stood up from the desk one after another. Just as Song Zhi was about to stand up, he grabbed his wrist with one hand.
The tea in Song Zhi's hand splashed out and he turned his head in surprise.
I saw Xiao Nianhe closing his eyes at this moment and shook his head slightly at him.
Chapter completed!
