"If it's not me, could it be you, Mr. Cai?" Mu Qianyu turned around and asked.
"Of course I can't reach such a state, but you, Mr. Mu, are even less able to reach it." Cai Dayan said with certainty.
Although he is weak, he is still in the Grandmaster realm. If he remembers correctly, Mu Qianyu is only in the Spirit realm, and the key to such good things is connections. How can a bumpkin from a small place like this have any connections?
"Oh, that's right." Mu Qianyu laughed softly and did not argue.
Cai Dayan understood it as her acquiescence and gave a low sneer.
The officials gradually arrived, and then the eunuch in charge sang loudly in a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived."
Mu Qianyu stood up with all the officials and bowed down to worship. In the Daxuan Dynasty, people were not allowed to kneel down on other occasions except for worshiping heaven and attending court gatherings.
"Everyone loves you." The middle-aged emperor spoke slowly.
Mu Qianyu stood in the second-to-last row and could barely see in front of him. He followed the ministers and congratulated the Emperor Qianqiu before taking his seat.
Next came the birthday celebrations for hundreds of officials. There were indeed more than a hundred officials present, and they came forward in order of rank to present gifts and congratulations.
At the same time, the palace banquet began, and the palace ladies with gorgeous looks and graceful figures came in one after another and shuttled between the banquets, creating a truly luxurious palace atmosphere.
The first person to present a birthday gift was Prince An. Prince An was an old man over seventy years old. He did not have the vigor and vitality of a cultivator, but had an air of age.
He stooped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have received your blessings from your majesty. I got a pill the day before yesterday, and I came here to present it to your majesty today."
As he spoke, he took out a sandalwood box, faced it towards the emperor, and slowly opened it.
As soon as the box was opened, everyone present saw a golden dragon's shadow rising straight into the sky, and the medicinal fragrance of the elixir emitted in an instant. It was shocking to see, and even more soothing to the body and mind when smelling it.
Not only the people below, but also the emperor's dark eyes showed slight joy when he saw the elixir. You must know that he is an emperor who cannot express his emotions and anger, so it is really remarkable that he can show such an expression.
"Little Lingling, look what that is." Mu Qianyu was eating the appetizer while communicating with the weapon spirit.
The appetizer looks like a plate of tender tofu, but it doesn't seem that simple, because it tastes delicious and has the taste of meat.
She couldn't help but lament that rich people just know how to eat, and their dishes are cooked differently from others.
"Master, this is a healing elixir. The emperor has old wounds in his body, and they are serious enough to affect his practice. The elixir cannot cure them completely, but it is not bad at all." Qi Ling replied.
The emperor is surrounded by good luck and the protection of the golden dragon. Ordinary people cannot check his physical condition at will, but it is very easy for the weapon spirit.
"No wonder." Mu Qianyu looked up at the emperor's expression and had an idea in his mind.
"Your Majesty, this elixir is called Shenglong Dan, and it is a sixth-level mid-grade elixir. Now I offer it to Your Majesty, and wish Your Majesty a long life." King An continued.
The emperor nodded slightly: "Thank you very much, uncle. I will accept your offer."
After Prince An went down, everyone was still talking about how hard it was to get the sixth-level elixir, not to mention that it was a middle-grade elixir, which required at least a powerful sixth-level alchemist to refine it.
And the sixth-level alchemy masters that their class has access to are simply rare, and to be able to get one is to be said to have extraordinary abilities.
"As expected of His Highness Prince An, how can I get hold of this mere fifth-level elixir in my hand?"
"Master Zhao, I don't know that you can still get the fifth-level elixir. This is also an incredible good thing."
"No, no... it's not as precious as Master Zhou's Soul-Gathering Coral."
During the banquet, people were chatting with each other, and Mu Qianyu felt that this matter was very promising, so he said: "Little Lingling, do we have the medicinal materials for refining higher-grade elixirs in our space?"
"It's easy. Even if one or two herbs are missing, there are alternatives." The weapon spirit replied: "What do you mean, master?"
"Now, refining, help me refining one furnace." Mu Qianyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"Yes." The weapon spirit responded and escaped into Fengtian Hall to refine it.
The tributes continued, and the emperor's eyes occasionally flickered, but his joy could not be compared to the moment he saw the elixir.
Although the sixth-level middle-grade elixir could not completely repair the injuries in his body, and there was still some erysipelas left, it could always be reduced. When the Taixu secret realm was about to open, and the emperors of various countries were fighting, he could not show too much cowardice.
This elixir came at the right time.
The officials below all took out the treasures they had prepared with great care, including exotic flowers and plants, magic weapons, and precious spiritual beast eggs. They were all precious objects.
Every minister will receive a reward after giving a gift, which is also a spiritual stone, nothing new.
Mu Qianyu finished the appetizer and then the main course. After finishing the main course, the gift presentation was only halfway through, so she started to drink soup and eat dessert again.
Of course, she didn't just care about herself. She asked the palace maid for a snack box, filled it with delicious desserts, and planned to take it back to Nannan and Xiaoruo as a midnight snack.
She was far away from the emperor. The emperor could not see the ministers around her, but he noticed her little move. They all shook their heads, thinking that what could happen if they succeeded for a moment? People from a small place have never seen the world.
They are even curious about what kind of birthday gift such a person can give, so as not to make people laugh when the time comes.
Mu Qianyu didn't care about this. After he finished pretending, he asked the palace maid if she had more and brought some more.
The palace maid was very embarrassed, but she still went to get it.
Here she was thanking the palace maid, and over there she was giving her a birthday gift.
She dusted off the food residue on her clothes, stood up and walked along the red carpet. The distance between her and the emperor was really not close, and it took less than half a quarter of an hour to reach him.
Before she could say anything while she was standing here, eyes from all directions looked over at her.
The first person who paid attention to her was the empress, the number one on the heavenly list, a young beauty, and a talented person who could bring peace to Anping Mansion. They had discussed it even in the deep palace.
After that came King An, his eldest son, the prime minister, the national advisor and the general's father and daughter.
It has to be said that although Mu Qianyu is only a small prefect, he has more or less interacted with people at the pinnacle of power.
"I, Mu Qianyu, offer you two elixirs to wish my emperor a long life." She specially copied King An's auxiliary words.
The emperor appointed Mu Qianyu here this time, and he admired her somewhat, but he had no expectations for what she had in her hands.
After all, she is still a little girl, with no support or background, so what good things can she come up with.
Even if it is really a good thing, since he is an emperor and has never seen anything before, it is no longer unusual for him.
Others thought the same way.
Prince An's eldest son, Xiao Zheng, was holding a glass of wine, waiting to watch the show.
