I have to say, the beast really thought too much. Its small arms and legs are not enough to fill the gaps between teeth even if they are fried.
"Little thing, come here." The deep voice carried a certain magnetism, and every word was irresistible, as if it was possessed.
"Come here!" A large hand with distinct joints has been stretched out to it, and the tone is becoming more and more gentle, just like a poisoned datura flower, which knows that it will lead to death, but still cannot control itself.
It must be said that the beast was completely bewildered. It involuntarily spread its claws, followed Emperor Shitian's arm, and climbed into his arms.
Then, a hint of warmth flashed across Emperor Shitian's resolute mouth.
"Go to court!" The moment he turned around, he had regained his usual coldness and waved his sleeves with an awe-inspiring spirit.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Bai Tian gestured and immediately nodded and rang the bell outside the palace.
Golden light flew and enveloped the sky.
The sky above the palace seemed to be filled with this noble and solemn atmosphere. Immediately, the imperial bell rang, rising to the sky. The golden and red buildings were wanton and arrogant. The patterns of flying dragons and dancing phoenixes could be seen everywhere, and the ferocious aura almost broke through the heaven and earth and was independent.
The breath of majesty, supremely intense.
The palaces on Hualu are densely packed, layer upon layer, circle upon circle. They rise and fall, overlapping one after another, emitting dazzling light under the golden sunlight.
Lying in the arms of Emperor Shi Tian, a certain beast felt endless emotion in its heart.
It seemed that it was right to decide to stay, as the palace was full of gold. If the man angered it one day, it would be easier for it to find money to escape.
At this moment, in the solemn and dignified Golden Throne Hall, the ministers were dressed in court robes, waiting anxiously.
"The King has arrived!" Bai Tian's soft and long voice sounded, and everyone immediately prostrated themselves on the ground in unison.
"Welcome to the King! Long live the King!" The voice was like a loud bell, shaking the entire palace and echoing lingeringly.
A strong musky scent filled the entire hall. Bright yellow boots with five-clawed dragon patterns slowly came into view. In the dead silent hall, everyone was carefully controlling their breathing, for fear of offending the gods in their hearts.
The golden dragon robe set off the gorgeous jade floor, casting a strong and bright brilliance. The jade belt, silver hair, sword-like eyebrows, a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes, flashing bright colors in the air, a high nose bridge, thin lips, the whole face is full of sculpture-like sense.
In particular, the snow-white color in the arms is extremely conspicuous in such a tense and serious environment.
Unfortunately, everyone was crawling on the ground at the moment, and no one dared to take a peek without Emperor Shi Tian’s order.
Sitting upright on the dragon throne with a golden dragon hovering around it, his sharp eyes swept across lightly, like ice and snow, filled with a gloomy and cold air, completely freezing the tension in the hall. The air seemed to solidify in an instant, filled with a sense of oppression.
Although the ministers had experienced this kind of pressure from the king many times, they were still terrified and waited timidly.
In this suffocating environment, a certain beast was unexpectedly relaxed. It changed into a comfortable posture, as lazy as a Persian cat, and looked at the legendary Golden Palace with comfort.
On both sides of the hall, there are eight dragon-shaped pillars supporting it, which looks majestic and awe-inspiring.
On both sides, palace maids with skin as white as snow and faces as beautiful as pear blossoms stood gracefully. The one closest to Emperor Shitian should be Bai Tian, the man who was feminine to the core.
I don’t know why, but a certain beast always feels that Eunuch Bai is not simple.
But, this palace is really not built
Wow! So luxurious and classy.
"Everyone, please stand up!" The deep voice, with a certain magnetism, was like a stone thrown into a deep lake, smashing into it with a thud, splashing water and rippling around. Although it fell, the lingering sound was still there.
Upon hearing the voice, all the ministers stood up immediately.
Bai Tian raised her eyebrows slightly, and two palace maids had already placed a purple gold wooden chair on the first left hand, and then helped the middle-aged man with gray hair up with a respectful look.
Wenren was wearing a white imperial robe, and his old face looked a little haggard. Seeing this, he immediately bowed and thanked him.
"I thank the king for his grace!" After saying this, he covered his face and coughed twice, then sat down.
"Old Master, you have worked hard and made great contributions. No need to be polite." The tone was still cold, but with more respect. He glanced sideways and nodded slightly to Wenren, which was a kind of respect.
Although everyone in the world said that Emperor Shitian was cold and cruel, everyone was impressed by this emperor. He was a tyrant, but also a wise ruler. His cruelty was just a means of doing things, not a foolish and unjust act. Therefore, things like "when the birds are gone, the good bows are put away; when the rabbits are dead, the running dogs are cooked" would never happen to Emperor Shitian.
The imperial bell rang a second time and the ministers went to court.
In the majestic Jinluan Palace, the ministers stood in two rows, arranged in two rows according to their ranks, extending all the way to the white jade steps outside the palace.
When the imperial bell rang once, the emperor would hold court in the morning. When the imperial bell rang twice, all the ministers would pay homage. If an official was even slightly late, he would be dismissed and investigated, and would never be employed again.
This is the rule passed down by Tianze’s ancestors.
Emperor Shi Tian leaned on the red-gold dragon chair, stroking the little thing in his arms from time to time with his big hands. His face was gloomy and his mood was unpredictable.
At the bottom, Wenren sat upright on the right, a military officer. Dugu Yingcheng was on the left, opposite Wenren, and the only one who could rival him.
He is closest to the king and is also the person most trusted by Emperor Shi Tian. Both of them have made outstanding contributions and are respected by all the people.
Although a certain beast did not quite understand their official ranks, since they were standing in the front, their official positions should not be low.
I didn't expect that Dugu Yingcheng, at such a young age, could stand on the same level as Master Wen. There are indeed many talented people around Emperor Shitian.
Looking at the big hands that were stroking it from time to time, the beast rolled its eyes helplessly, found a comfortable position, and prepared to play chess with Zhou Gong.
It doesn't care about the affairs of the imperial court. If it were a human, it might be able to become a top scholar, but now...
Look at its hairy mouth, there is no hope for it in this life.
He crossed his paws, placed them under his head, and went to sleep.
"If you have something to say, please get up and report it. If not, please dismiss the court!" Bai Tian's expression remained gentle and his feminine voice echoed in the hall.
Upon hearing this, the ministers' eyes flickered and they exchanged glances with each other, looking as if they were speechless.
Yesterday's ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens should have been a national celebration and in line with the will of the people. But something went wrong. Not to mention the delay after the election, they also encountered assassins who put their king in danger several times.
After the failure of the election, rumors spread that the king was doomed to die alone; others said, "If the dragon is not a real dragon, there will be no phoenix to rule the country"... (To be continued)
