The sky is gradually turning dusk, and the square outside the Yingxing Palace in the palace compound of Xingyue City is already filled with all kinds of large luxury carriages. The civil and military ministers of the dynasty and some business giants in Xingyue are already there.
.
Yingxing Palace, named Palace, is actually a place where the emperor specially receives guests. The majestic building is about 100 meters high, standing like a giant in the middle of the square. The four walls are made of top-quality white marble ashlar.
, the entire building covers an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters and can accommodate tens of thousands of people gathering at the same time.
Colorful fireworks were set off around the palace, and three low horns sounded. The palace immediately became brightly lit, and the welcoming ladies lined up to welcome the dignitaries.
This was a buffet-style banquet. After the high-ranking officials and dignitaries entered, they immediately gathered in several places according to their rank. Some low-ranking officials occasionally went to the crowd of first-rank officials to flatter them. This flattery must be comprehensive.
Moreover, the order must be clear and you must not offend anyone, otherwise you will be very tired.
Yu Haoxuan was wearing a handsome and straight white evening dress. He was standing in a corner of the palace. He was playing with a crystal goblet in his hand and appreciating the degree of the fragrant top-quality red wine in the glass. He saw a layer of
The honey-like liquid slowly slid down into the cup. Yu Haoxuan nodded with satisfaction. With a slight smile on his face, he brought his thin lips to the edge of the cup and took a sip.
Many of the rich ladies of the princes and ministers glanced at Yu Haoxuan intentionally or unintentionally. After the exchange of glances, Yu Haoxuan nodded and smiled at them politely, which made the rich ladies in the palace burst into excitement.
.
At this time, Marshal Lu and Prime Minister Qin were each surrounded by a group of officials and wealthy businessmen, while their eldest sons, Lu Tianqi and Qin Zhixin, were also surrounded by a group of "young and promising" powerful children. These people were chatting together.
The polite words he said made Yu Haoxuan extremely disgusted and disgusted.
Pushing open the side door, Yu Haoxuan slowly walked to the balcony with a wine glass. The evening breeze blew gently and was exceptionally cool. He stared blankly at the night sky in the southwest, where stars twinkled, leading his thoughts to freedom.
In the direction of Luo City from the Alliance, "At this time, she is probably busy taking care of the mercenary group, right?" He murmured to himself.
"Are you Yu Haoxuan?" A girl's voice came from behind Yu Haoxuan, with a bit of arrogance in her tone. Yu Haoxuan frowned slightly, turned around slightly, and saw a girl wearing purple
The girl in a long skirt slowly walked towards him, "Are you coming out for some fresh air? You just want to chat with me." The girl was none other than Lu Tianshuang, the eldest lady of the Lu family who caused trouble in Tianyi Pavilion.
Yu Haoxuan ignored her, turned his head and continued to look at the starry sky. He brought the wine glass to his lips and took a sip. "I'm talking to you. How dare you ignore me?" Lu Tianshuang frowned, showing off the eldest lady's arrogant temper.
Used it.
"Am I familiar with you?" These cold words came out of Yu Haoxuan's mouth, his extremely beautiful face slightly raised, and a trace of pride appeared on his cheeks.
"Do you know who I am?" Lu Tianshuang said angrily, "Who in this capital dares to talk to me like you do? You must apologize to me quickly, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what?" Yu Haoxuan sneered, with a graceful yet cold arc at the corner of his mouth.
"He is so handsome!" Looking at Yu Haoxuan's profile, this thought suddenly appeared in Lu Tianshuang's mind, but he forgot how to reply for a moment.
"I must get him!" Lu Tianshuang's whole body and mind were completely occupied by desire at this time, "Otherwise I won't like you!" Although she admired Yu Haoxuan in her heart, she was used to feeling superior when she spoke.
She narcissistically believes that all men in the world must like her.
"That's good, I hate you too!" Yu Haoxuan said what was in his heart without even thinking about it. After saying that, he turned around and walked into the hall.
"Stop!" Lu Tianshuang shouted angrily, but Yu Haoxuan ignored it at all. She was so angry that she stamped her feet on the balcony, "How dare you do this to me, I will make you look good later! And that hateful prince!"
, she stretched out her right palm, and a red pill appeared in her palm. Her expression gradually turned sinister, and she swallowed the pill into her belly. After a moment, a dazzling red light suddenly emitted from her whole body.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" a shout came from the hall, "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!" Then all the civil and military officials responded in unison.
"All your lives!" The emperor's voice contained a bit of joy. "This banquet is to welcome the crown prince. I am deeply gratified that all the beloved princes can gather here. Although the prince's ten years of study have made little progress,
I am successful, but I still need more guidance from you all on political matters, and I hope you will not hesitate to give me your advice."
"I will do my best!" All the ministers shouted in unison again.
"Prince Xuan." The emperor's face looked a little haggard. With the help of his entourage, he slowly sat down.
"The prince has an audience!" the palace attendants shouted.
The hall door slowly opened, and everyone retreated to both sides. Yun Chenyi walked in front, and Mu Yun took a step back to follow him. As soon as the two entered the hall, there was a heated discussion. The prince pretended to be arrogant and raised his chin slightly.
, Mu Yun pretended to be a virtuous lady, walking up slowly with lotus steps.
"The woman behind the prince is so beautiful!"
"I heard that they were classmates at Tiandu Magic Academy. As soon as the prince entered the capital, he smashed up the Xingyue Restaurant owned by Marshal Lu's nephew. I wonder if he did this because he wanted to please the beauty."
"I also heard that in order to make clothes for this woman in Tianyi Pavilion, the prince even forced Marshal Lu's daughter Lu Tianshuang to kneel on the spot."
"Shh! You don't want your life!"
All the gossip fell into the ears of the prince and Mu Yun. The prince was secretly happy, it seemed that the effect he wanted had been achieved.
Mu Yun was walking in the middle of the hall, and she felt a hot gaze on her like a nail. She subconsciously looked around the corner, and saw Yu Haoxuan staring at her expressionlessly, but there was something in his eyes.
His expression was extremely complicated, including surprise, excitement, a touch of longing, and a hint of sadness.
"My dear father, I wish you good health and everything goes well!" Yun Chenyi knelt down and bowed to the emperor, "See your majesty!" Mu Yun also saluted in the same way.
"Okay, okay, Yi'er, get up quickly," the emperor said with a kind face, "Today is not going to court, so there is no need to be formal." He waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to stand aside.
"Your Majesty," Lu Zhenghao suddenly stood up, "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has achieved great success in his studies at the Tiandu Magic Academy. Today, all the officials are gathered together. I would like to take this opportunity to have a glimpse of His Highness the Crown Prince, so that everyone can start talking.
Open your eyes, I wonder what your majesty wants?"
"Your Majesty?" The emperor turned to look at Yun Chenyi. Yun Chenyi looked at Lu Zhenghao and asked, "How should I show this to you, the prince?"
"How about your Highness the Crown Prince competing with me?" At this time, Lu Tianshuang walked out from behind the crowd and raised his hands towards Yun Chenyi, "I have also practiced magic, and I want to compete with His Highness the Crown Prince.
I hope the prince will not hesitate to teach me."
"Is Marshal Lu's daughter here to take revenge?"
"It must be so. Miss Lu has never been insulted like that before. Naturally, she won't swallow it so easily."
"Now there's something good to watch..." The hall started to become noisy again.
