"Why can they get here in a car and we have to walk?"
"Because you come from a lowly third-class country!"
Before Feng Yufei's words dissipated, and before Qiu Peng could speak, he heard a domineering voice coming from the first carriage.
Following this, there were other people laughing mockingly!
Mu Qingge's eyes turned cold, and Feng Yufei and Zhao Nanxing's eyes were also stained with a thin layer of anger.
The jeers grew louder and louder, without any scruples.
The faces of Mu Qingge and others became even more ugly.
This is the palace of the Shengyuan Empire. Mu Qingge really wants to see which second-class country dares to be so arrogant.
"It's so noisy! You're laughing so hard, you're just abusing my Queen's ears!" Suddenly, a arrogant female voice came, causing the ridicules to stop abruptly.
Hearing this voice, the coldness between Mu Qingge's brows was dispelled, and even his eyes were filled with a thin smile.
At this time, people were getting out of the four carriages one after another.
The people who got out of the first three cars were all men, each of them noble and domineering. Even the guards following the car didn't look like ordinary people.
In the last car, only one person jumped out, and his face was covered with a golden veil, revealing only a pair of golden and coquettish pupils.
She was graceful and tall, and her movements were full of exotic charm, causing others to look at her frequently.
The three people who got out of the first car strode towards her.
This scene made Mu Qingge narrow her eyes slightly and move her feet.
Just when she was about to walk over, Jiang Li cast a look at her without leaving any trace, telling her to 'be patient'. After thinking about it, Mu Qingge stopped mentioning it.
But her eyes were still staring there, and others seemed to be attracted by the elegance of the Queen of the Ancient Witch Kingdom.
Of course, Zhao Nanxing knew that she was a woman, so naturally he would not have any other thoughts about women.
So, he approached Mu Qingge and asked in her ear in a very low voice: "Do you know the queen of the ancient witch country?"
The corners of Mu Qingge's lips raised vaguely, and she said calmly: "Senior brother, do you know who she is?"
Zhao Nanxing twitched the corner of his mouth, "It's not difficult to guess. To appear with people from a second-class country, and to be such a unique woman, who else can she be besides the Queen of the Ancient Witch Country?"
The smile on Mu Qingge's lips became more obvious, but she still did not explain.
It's not that she is being pretentious on purpose, but the process of her getting acquainted with Jiang Li was quite... well... different and responsible. This is not a good place to describe it.
At this time, the three people who had spoken arrogantly against Mu Qingge and others had already walked up to Jiang Li. The leader looked at Jiang Li with a serious look on his face and said, "Queen Jiang, what do you mean?"
This person also seemed to know the special status of the Ancient Witch Country. Although his language and attitude were not enthusiastic, he was not as rude as he was to Mu Qingge and the others.
Jiang Li glanced at him mockingly, and said with a hint of unattainability: "Isn't it obvious enough what the Queen said? Or are you people from the Rong Kingdom so deaf and blind?"
"You!" The slightly younger man standing on the right side of the leader's face immediately became angry when he heard Jiang Li's words. It seems that as long as there is a disagreement, there will be action.
Perhaps they also sensed the hostility coming from the right. The people led by Rong Guo raised their hands to block his rash action.
'It turned out to be a person from the Rong Kingdom. ' Mu Qingge said silently in her heart.
She vaguely felt that this information was deliberately revealed to her by Jiang Li. At least let her figure out which country the person who offended her is.
But she didn't expect that these arrogant and domineering guys actually came from the Rong Kingdom.
It seems that the fate between her and Rong Guo is really deep!
"It turns out he is from the Rong Kingdom. No wonder he is so arrogant." Zhao Nanxing whispered in Mu Qingge's ear. When he heard the word 'Rongguo', a look of realization appeared on his face.
Feng Yufei's expression became more solemn, and he quietly approached Mu Qingge and whispered beside her: "I heard my father said that among the second-class countries, the Rong Kingdom was because of the Forging Tower and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. , acts extremely arrogantly. In a second-class country, he is always the one who rushes to the front."
Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows slightly, and she had a general understanding in her heart.
"Queen Jiang wants to speak for those untouchables from third-class countries?" The leader of the Rong Kingdom glanced at Mu Qingge and the others with eyes full of disgust and indifference.
It was night at this moment, and there was not enough light. Even with palace lanterns, the shadows overlapped due to the dispersion of the light sources.
The position where Mu Qingge and the others were standing happened to be the place covered by the most shadows, so after scanning, he could only see a few figures standing there, looking extremely thin and vulnerable.
As a result, the disdain in his expression became more intense, and he even snorted coldly.
"Third-class country? Untouchable?" This gentle question came not from Jiang Li, but from Mu Qingge.
Her voice successfully attracted the three people from the Rong Kingdom. Even the representatives from the Di Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom who were watching the show looked towards her.
Jiang Li raised her eyebrows, with a playful smile in her eyes.
She originally wanted to help Mu Qingge solve some troubles. After all, this was the palace of the Shengyuan Empire. People from third-class countries, standing here, really have no room to speak. Unexpectedly, people in the Rong Kingdom were ignorant, and Mu Qingge couldn't help it.
Mu Qingge walked slowly out of the shadows with leisurely steps. The luster of the surrounding palace lanterns fell on her, dispelling the shadows and highlighting her.
The enchanting brocade robe, the tall and tall figure, the unparalleled beauty, and the indistinguishable appearance of male and female. Like a pearl in the dark night, it immediately illuminated everyone's hearts, as if she was the only source of light here.
She stood out, causing the space to freeze for a moment. Everyone held their breath and stared at her, shocked by this shocking appearance.
Among them, only Jiang Li, who had known her for a long time, could still maintain a clear mind in her eyes.
"There are actually people with such evil looks in the world!" Representative Di Guo said a word of praise. He did not explain that Mu Qingge also had a kind of nobility that was sharp and noble.
In front of her, it seemed that they, the princes and nobles of second-class countries, were untouchables, but she was a superior being!
However, just because he didn't say it, it didn't mean that everyone couldn't feel it.
This feeling was so obvious that everyone felt ashamed of themselves.
This feeling made the three people in Rongguo look ugly.
This was the first time they had seen someone who could only defeat them with his own temperament and appearance.
Mu Qingge's cold eyes fell on the three Rong people.
The power of one glance made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and a chill rose up their backs.
Things suddenly evolved to this point. Qiu Peng, who suddenly woke up, and the official responsible for bringing the second-class country and the ancient witch country into the palace, had their vests soaked all over.
No matter who it is, if a fight breaks out here, the two of them will be the first to lose their heads!
With almost no need for discussion, Qiu Peng and he immediately took action and walked towards the leaders Mu Qingge and Rong Guo respectively, blocking their sight of each other.
"Mr. Mu, this is not a place for impulsiveness. No matter what, you should calm down and the future will be long." Qiu Peng's advice was very skillful.
He neither belittled Mu Qingge nor painted a picture of the Rong Kingdom being invincible. Just tell Mu Qingge that no matter what kind of place this is, any grudges can last forever.
Mu Qingge glanced at him and became a little more interested in him.
Qiu Peng was stunned by her sweep.
Of course, Mu Qingge had no intention of taking action at all, he just wanted to give the people of Rong Kingdom a warning.
What's more, even if she really wanted to kill someone here, I'm afraid no one would give her the chance.
Just when Qiu Ji finished speaking, while Rong Guo was still persuading, a very powerful pressure suddenly dropped from the sky, like a mountain, no one could escape and was pressed under it.
"Hmm!" Zhao Nanxing only had the cultivation level of the peak of the Green Realm. Under this warning pressure, his blood surged, and a mouthful of blood surged out of his throat.
Fortunately, he didn't want to be embarrassed in front of the second-class country, so he gritted his teeth and swallowed the mouthful of blood.
This sudden pressure soon caused a thin layer of cold sweat to break out on everyone's forehead. Even Mu Qingge broke out in a layer of cold sweat on his neck after withstanding the pressure.
'So strong! At least much better than her. 'Mu Qingge made a quick calculation in her mind.
As a result, she found that if she were to confront an oppressive person head-on, she might not be able to withstand his hundred moves.
This result did not make Mu Qingge feel depressed, but instead inspired her inner fighting spirit to become stronger!
She is now at the peak of the Purple Realm, and the person who can suppress her to such a level that she has no ability to resist is probably what Mengmeng calls a strong person in the agility stage.
A bright light flashed in Mu Qingge's eyes, but she didn't feel scared because of it!
The pressure goes away just as quickly as it comes.
It was only a moment, but at this moment, the person shrouded in coercion felt as if his days were like years.
After the pressure was removed, both the third-class and second-class people's faces turned pale, their clothes were wet, and their palms were sweaty.
This is a warning, anyone who is not stupid can understand it.
Qiu Peng and the official responsible for bringing the second-class people into the palace also secretly breathed a sigh of relief after the pressure.
The two of them made a tacit understanding and did not talk about what had just happened. Instead, they reminded the palace banquet that the time was coming, and urged the people they wanted to lead to enter the palace quickly without wasting time.
With the warning just now, no matter how uncomfortable the people of the Rong Kingdom were, they still walked into the palace gate with a cold snort and fear.
Mu Qingge didn't intend to fight for the way with people from second-class countries. Anyway, it didn't matter who went first or who went last.
After the people from the Rong Kingdom left, the people from the Di Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom also followed. However, when they passed by Mu Qingge and others, they all looked at her specially.
The meaning in the eyes is different for each person.
When the people from Yu State walked past Mu Qingge, she suddenly found that one of them looked familiar to her. However, it was just a quick visit. Before she could think about it thoroughly, the man walked into the palace gate.
All the people from the second-class countries walked into the palace gate, and the only people left outside were the people from the third-class countries and the people from the Ancient Witch Country.
Jiang Li took the initiative to walk up to Mu Qingge, bumped her shoulder with his shoulder, and said, "Still not leaving?"
Her familiar look made Feng Yufei open his eyes wide. Not only her, but also Zhao Nanxing, who already knew a thing or two, was stimulated by her behavior.
He has known Mu Qingge for so long, and he has never seen anyone be so casual in front of her... uh... naturally...
'It seems that the queen of the ancient witch kingdom has a close personal relationship with Qingge! ' Zhao Nanxing said in his heart.
Mu Qingge turned to look at her and nodded.
Immediately, the two walked side by side and entered the palace gate together. The followers of the ancient witch kingdom also naturally joined the crowd of the third-class countries.
Mu Qingge and Jiang Li walked in front, seeming to have something to say. Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei also consciously followed behind without interrupting.
Behind the palace gate, there is still a corridor connecting it.
According to Qiu Peng, this is the last palace gate. After passing through the corridor, you can truly enter the palace. The main hall where the banquet is held can only be reached after walking around the imperial garden for a while.
"The people of the Rong Kingdom have always been so arrogant and domineering, so you don't need to pay attention to them. They dare to be so arrogant because the Casting Tower and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect are within the borders of the Rong Kingdom. In Linchuan, they don't obey anyone except the Shengyuan Empire." Jiang Li Said to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge raised her lips slightly and did not comment on her words.
Jiang Li's golden eyes suddenly turned, and a hint of cunning appeared in them. She moved closer to Mu Qingge. To outsiders, she looked extremely intimate, like a couple.
He blew hot air into her ear and whispered: "I don't know how they would feel if they knew that the branch of the Forging Tower was directly destroyed by you."
"Then are you planning to tell the truth?" Mu Qingge looked at her playfully.
Jiang Li stood up straight and said with disgust in his eyes: "Am I such a villain? You actually look at me like this! Humph~!"
Mu Qingge chuckled. Of course she knew Jiang Li's words were just a joke.
"However, there is no need for me to report. Regarding the Forging Tower Branch, the people from their main branch have already sent people to the Ancient Witch Country to investigate, and even I have come to inquire about it. I guess they also have something in their hearts. I should have guessed that it was you who was talking, but I never knew your identity, so I didn’t know where to find you. At the palace banquet tonight, people from the Forging Tower and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect are all there, what are you going to do?" Jiang Li reminded.
But Mu Qingge said without changing his expression: "What should we do? The matter between me, the Casting Tower, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is a grudge between the world and the world. When it is time to resolve it, it will be resolved naturally. In short, the soldiers will cover up the water and the earth."
Jiang Li blinked and saw that she really didn't look nervous at all, so he said helplessly: "You are really calm. In that case, I will send you another message. The person who came to the Forging Tower this time is from their courtyard. Long. It is said that the old man's cultivation has reached the peak of the purple realm. The people coming from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect are their young sect leader Tai Shigao, and the great elder Heimu. Don't worry about Tai Shigao, he is just in the blue realm. However, That Great Elder Heimu is also a master at the peak of the Purple Realm."
Jiang Li didn't know that Mu Qingge had already fought against Heimu, and carefully introduced the situation of Heimu and others.
Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows when she heard that Tai Shigao was here too.
A person who was supposed to die at her hands actually came back to life. No matter what the reason was, she had to take this life back.
"... Anyway, you have to be careful tonight." After telling him the information, Jiang Li looked at Mu Qingge with a rare serious look in her eyes.
At this time, they had already walked through the corridor and entered the imperial garden.
The forest garden is deep and winding, and at the bend ahead, the people from the second-class country have disappeared. On the other hand, the imperial guards of the Shengyuan Empire Palace and the maidservants can be seen everywhere, standing everywhere with palace lanterns to provide lighting for people entering the palace.
"Don't worry, tonight is just a palace banquet, they can't do anything." Mu Qingge comforted Jiang Li.
Listening to Jiang Li's review, she found that she had quite a few enemies. The worst part is, they all come together tonight!
Jiang Li nodded, "The news I got is that the person hosting the palace banquet tonight is Huangfu Huan, the crown prince of the Shengyuan Empire. The emperor of the Shengyuan Empire will also appear, but he may not stay until the end. I heard that this Huangfu Huanzhi Therefore, he stood out from many princes just because his name was personally given by His Majesty the Holy King. Therefore, the emperor of the Shengyuan Empire felt that this prince was quite favored by His Majesty the Holy King, so he gave him the position of crown prince. "
"Really?" Mu Qingge's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly heard the news about that man. He responded absently.
Fortunately, Jiang Li did not notice anything wrong with Mu Qingge, but continued: "Oh~! His Majesty the Holy King! I don't know if I can see His Majesty the Holy King this time when I come to the Shengyuan Empire!"
After speaking, her eyes showed longing.
Mu Qingge turned to look at her and said casually, "Will His Majesty the Holy King not show up at the palace banquet tonight?"
Jiang Li immediately cleared her doubts. "You! Can you have some common sense? His Majesty the Holy King is the honorific title given to that person throughout Linchuan. In fact, everyone knows that he is the real king of Linchuan. How could someone like him attend the palace banquet tonight? ? However, maybe after the palace banquet is over, the Holy Yuan Empire will arrange for us to go on a pilgrimage to the place where he lives. If we are lucky and have enough opportunities, we might be able to meet His Majesty the Holy King. If I can get another reminder, yes We all benefited a lot.”
So... is that so
After listening to Jiang Li's words, Mu Qingge knew that Si Mo would not show up tonight. She felt a little disappointed in her heart, but she breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.
The emotions that had been tangled in her heart were completely cleared at this moment.
She only heard Jiang Li's words about Si Mo not showing up, but she didn't hear anything about other pilgrimage or reminders at all. Otherwise, I will definitely ask for more information about this man.
"That's right! That idiot from the Xue family of the Yu Kingdom has already married into your Mu family, right?" Suddenly, Jiang Li seemed to remember something and asked.
Regarding the word 'marry' used by Jiang Li, Mu Qingge twitched the corner of her mouth. "Well, he and my aunt have been married in Qin."
Jiang Li looked like I knew it, and then said to Mu Qingge: "Do you know who one of the three people coming from the Yu Kingdom this time is?"
Mu Qingge looked at her, intending to say that she didn't know, but when she thought of Jiang Li's words before, and the familiar face just now.
Suddenly, she had an idea and found the source of her familiarity with that person. "Is the Xue family here?"
Jiang Li's eyes were as crescent-shaped as she nodded. "This is Xue Qiao's second brother. He currently holds the post of Minister of Literature in the court of Yu State. He is a highly respected official. He can be said to be one person below ten thousand people."
"Wen Xiang." Mu Qingge said silently. In the imperial establishment of Yu State, the post of prime minister was divided into two parts: civil and military. She knew this.
I just didn't expect that Xue Qiao's second brother had already climbed to such a high position at such a young age.
'I don't know if the Xue family knows about the matter between my aunt and Xue Qiao? How did you react? Xue Qiao took her aunt on a trip. I wonder if she has returned to Xue's house now? Mu Qingge suddenly felt like an old woman, worried about her aunt Mu Lianrong.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly.
Her worried look fell into Jiang Li's eyes. She had already personally experienced Mu Qingge's worries and couldn't help but roll her eyes. Added: "This Xue Qiong also rose to the rank of literary minister before setting off for the Shengyuan Empire. In addition to the influence of the Xue family on the Yu royal family, it also has a lot to do with his personal excellence. His cultivation is in At the peak of Qingjing, the Xue family, except for the alternative Xue Qiao, has never paid much attention to the value of force. The main thing is the strategy in the heart and the way of governing the country. This Xue Qiong is the leader of the younger generation of the Xue family, and has been a prodigy since he was a child. Excellent reputation. At the age of seven, he could recite thousands of scriptures, talk freely about national affairs with the old man of the Xue family, and often come up with refreshing opinions. He joined the court as an official at the age of twelve, starting with clerical work and progressing step by step. He went up one step at a time, steadily, and became the Minister of Literature before he was even thirty years old. Moreover, this was the result of the Xue family's deliberate suppression. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have sat in this position a few years ago."
"How do you know so much?" Mu Qingge looked at Jiang Li in surprise.
However, Jiang Li rolled her eyes and complained, "Isn't it just for you?" She was telling the truth. She had never been very interested in these secrets of aristocratic families. If she hadn't known that Mu Qingge was in a third-class country and it was inconvenient to inquire into the affairs of a second-class country, and that the Xue family was now related by marriage to the Mu family, she would not have cared about the news about the Xue family.
Even the matters involving the Forging Tower and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect were all because she knew that Mu Qingge had a grudge against them, so how could she pay attention to the movements of these forces
Mu Qingge smiled slightly at Jiang Li and said, "Thank you."
These two words dispelled the resentment in Jiang Li's eyes, and she said with a cheerful smile: "That's pretty much it."
The two of them were talking and laughing, but in the eyes of Zhao Nanxing behind them, they looked frightened.
Because, he was not sure whether the queen of the ancient wizarding country knew the true identity of his 'Junior Brother Mu'. If you don't know, will such attentiveness turn into resentment
If this happens, then their third-class countries will be even more alarmed every step of the way in the Holy Yuan Empire.
He wanted to ask, but the timing was unlucky.
At this time, Feng Yufei said another word: "It seems that the young master is very lucky. Even the queen of the ancient wizard country has a soft spot for him."
Feng Yufei didn't know Mu Qingge's true identity, so in her opinion, the relationship between Mu Qingge and Jiang Li was like lovers confiding their feelings to each other.
However, these words frightened Zhao Nanxing so much that he looked at the two people in front of him with an ugly expression.
Finally, after passing through the Imperial Garden and walking a long way, everyone came to stop outside a magnificent palace.
Not only are they here, but people from the second-class countries are also here.
Qiu Peng turned around and said to Mu Qingge and others: "The dinner is about to begin. Please stay here to listen to the announcement."
Mu Qingge stopped talking to Jiang Li and looked up.
As far as the eye can see, there is a palace built on a high platform. There are more than ninety levels of stairs. It is paved with white jade and has flags flying on the carefully carved jade railings. This palace is located amidst the blossoms of flowers and the scenery is pleasant. Even at night, people can feel the subtle fragrance floating and sultry.
The glazed gold tiles have a noble aura, just like a fairy palace in the sky.
At this time, from the high hall, heavenly music floated faintly, melodious and pathos, yet majestic and solemn.
Countless maids came in and out, seemingly making final preparations.
After waiting for a while, the big bell hanging outside the palace was rung by the chamberlain.
The bell rang three times in total, startling the birds in the forest and echoing throughout the palace.
When the bell rang, Mu Qingge saw Qiu Peng straightening his waist and straightening his clothes with a serious expression.
After a while, someone came out, stood outside the palace, and shouted condescendingly: "It is reported that envoys from the second-class countries Rong, Yu, and Di are here to see you!"
This voice was mixed with spiritual power, so it sounded clear and deafening, as if it was shouted in the ear.
Mu Qingge narrowed his eyes and said in shock: "He is just a chamberlain, but he has the strength of the first level of Qingjing!" After entering the palace, while talking with Jiang Li, she occasionally paid attention to the strength of the guards in the palace. She found that even the most ordinary guards were at the beginning of the Green Realm or above.
what does that mean
At the beginning of the Green Realm, he is already considered a rare master in third-class countries.
However, in the first-class Shengyuan Empire, he could only become the most ordinary palace guard.
And just now, there was only a moment of coercion in the third palace gate...
After entering the Shengyuan Empire's palace for a while, Mu Qingge clearly felt the gap between first-class countries and third-class countries.
This gap is not only based on personal level, but also based on national strength.
"How do you feel? Do you feel that the gap between third-class countries and first-class countries is no longer blurry and has become clear. But it is clear, but it also feels like an insurmountable gap that cannot be crossed?" Jiang Li whispered The way.
She seemed to feel Mu Qingge's mood at the moment and said what she was thinking.
Mu Qingge did not deny it, but corrected: "The gap does exist, but it is not invincible!"
Jiang Li raised her eyebrows and looked at her playfully, her golden eyes shining with dazzling light.
"You really make me feel more and more interesting. I really want to know what gives you so much confidence. After you understand the gap between us, you can still stand tall and not be knocked down!" Jiang Lidao .
Mu Qingge turned to look at her, and the curve of the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious. "If it were you, would you be knocked down?"
Jiang Li was stunned, Mu Qingge's smiling look reflected in his golden eyes. The corners of her mouth under the veil were raised slightly, but she didn't answer.
But in fact, she knew that Mu Qingge knew the answer even if she didn't say it!
She won't!
Perhaps, it was because there were some things between the two of them that were extremely similar, so they felt like old friends at first sight.
There is no need to test, no time to prove, and no need to experience anything unforgettable together. But they can inexplicably trust each other and be attentive to each other.
Jiang Li was silent for a while and then said with a smile: "Birds of a feather flock together, the ancients never deceived me!"
Others may not understand this yes-no statement, but Mu Qingge understands it.
She nodded and agreed: "Indeed."
While the two were talking, representatives of Rong, Yu and Di had already led their attendants and followed the officials leading them up the white jade steps towards the majestic palace at the top.
Because of Xue Qiong's presence, Mu Qingge deliberately took a few more glances at Yu Guo's team.
She found that Xue Qiong and Xue Qiao did look similar, except that Xue Qiong's facial features were more delicate, while Xue Qiao's facial features were more resolute.
The people from the second-class country finally entered the palace.
After a while, the minister's chamberlain shouted again: "It is said that Queen Jiang of the Ancient Witch Country has an audience!"
"It's my turn." Jiang Li glanced at Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge nodded, raised his chin and said, "Go ahead."
"I'll go ahead and give you a preview first." Jiang Li blinked, showing a bit of mischief.
Later, after bidding farewell to Mu Qingge, she restrained her casualness, showed the nobility and majesty of the queen, and led the people from the Ancient Witch Country up the steps.
The effect of these two completely different people was to make everyone standing under the steps who didn't know the truth cast admiring glances at Mu Qingge.
Being able to turn the aloof queen of the ancient witch kingdom into a docile kitten is also a man's ability!
When Jiang Li was halfway there, Zhao Nanxing slowly approached Mu Qingge and said softly: "Qingge, does this Empress Jiang know that you are..."
Mu Qingge nodded: "She knows."
After hearing this answer, Zhao Nanxing finally shook off the sweat from his hands, and his heart fell to the ground.
Mu Qingge turned to look at him without knowing what was going on, and asked, "What is Senior Brother Zhao worried about?"
Zhao Nanxing twitched the corner of his mouth and cursed in his heart: 'Aren't you worried that if you have too many peach blossoms, it will become a peach blossom disaster? '
"It is said that the third-class countries Qin, Li, and Yu are here to meet you!"
The voice of the chamberlain came again.
"Finally we are here." Feng Yufei puffed out his chest and exhaled a breath.
Her expression was slightly solemn, as if she was about to face a war.
Mu Qingge looked at her and smiled: "Relax. We are going to a dinner, not a duel."
Her words made Feng Yufei reveal a helpless but charming smile. "I can't help it. After entering the Shengyuan Empire, I always feel like there are traps at every step and dangers everywhere."
She is a princess and has an unshirkable responsibility on her shoulders. It was this responsibility that made her feel even more stressed. It was okay when I was in Li country, after all, it was my own territory. But after arriving at the Shengyuan Empire, she felt vaguely powerless. If Mu Qingge hadn't been here to reassure her, she probably didn't know whether she could withstand the pressure the Shengyuan Empire brought to her.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Mu Qingge walked up to her, raised his hand and patted her shoulder, giving her assurance.
I have everything...
These four words made Feng Yufei feel relieved. He looked at Mu Qingge seriously and nodded.
"Let's go. Our young lord, princess, and prince from the third-class country are going to meet the dignitaries of the largest country in Linchuan!" Zhao Nanxing smiled brightly at the two women and took the lead.
He was not trying to steal Mu Qingge's limelight, but he just consciously believed that at this time, as a man, he must use actions to reassure others.
Feng Yufei smiled at Mu Qingge and followed Zhao Nanxing's pace.
Mu Qingge also shook his sleeves and robe and followed.
When they climbed the steps, Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei had already tacitly retreated behind her, with her as the leader.
'…Ninety-nine steps. When climbing the steps, Mu Qingge counted silently in her heart. When she stepped onto the last step and stood on the platform, it was exactly ninety-nine steps.
Mu Qingge did not delve into the details of building palaces in the Shengyuan Empire's palace.
After everyone stood on the platform, Xuanren's chamberlain walked up to Mu Qingge, looked at them with watery eyes, and let out a faint snort of disdain from the tip of his nose. "Let's go."
After saying that, he shook off the dust in his hands, like shooing away flies, and led the way.
His attitude made Zhao Nanxing frown and whispered: "This chamberlain is so rude!"
Mu Qingge, however, said indifferently: "If the dog said something to you, and you yelled back in a more sincere manner, what would be the difference between you and the dog? Ignoring him is the best form of contempt for him."
Zhao Nanxing relaxed his brows, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, opened the folding fan in his hand and gently fanned it a few times, then closed it. The elegant and elegant atmosphere of the noble master overflowed.
Under the leadership of the chamberlain, Mu Qingge and others entered the palace gate.
Bright lights rushed in instantly, and the palace was as bright as day.
Only then did she realize that the palace was actually divided into two floors.
The outermost floor was filled with officials from the Shengyuan Empire. In the middle, a red carpet stretched straight, connecting the palace gate and the steps to the second floor.
And on the second floor, the real noble people are sitting!
There is a three-foot gap between the second floor and the first floor. People sitting on the first floor can only vaguely see the scenery above.
Mu Qingge and others appeared at the gate and immediately felt the attention of everyone.
The eyes of the officials of the Shengyuan Empire fell on them one after another.
With curiosity, with scrutiny, but also with contempt and disdain.
Of course, when they saw Mu Qingge's appearance clearly, they couldn't help but be shocked, their eyes were filled with astonishment.
It seemed that they could not imagine that people from barren lands like third-class countries could be so handsome and have outstanding temperament.
Unexpectedly, the first floor became quiet.
The silence coming from this floor also attracted the attention of some people on the second floor.
They couldn't help but cast their eyes towards the entrance to the second floor, looking forward to the people who were about to appear.
In the midst of everyone's attention, Mu Qingge took steps calmly and walked on the red carpet calmly, without showing a trace of embarrassment or timidity.
Her calmness seemed to be contagious to everyone who followed her.
They all put aside their nervousness and followed Mu Qingge's footsteps to the second level.
The sound of footsteps climbing up the steps came one after another.
Take your time, be calm and collected.
Gradually, the second floor also became quiet. Even the royal family of the Holy Yuan Empire, who looked as if they were sitting on a pyramid, stopped chatting with others and moved their eyes to the entrance to the second floor.
After a while, a stunning red dress appeared in everyone's sight.
That enchanting red color is still particularly dazzling in this magnificent palace, making it impossible to ignore.
After seeing the person clearly, the nobles sitting on the second floor seemed to finally understand why the officials on the first floor suddenly became silent.
Just because the people coming here are so amazing.
It's hard to look away!
After going up to the second floor, Mu Qingge finally saw clearly what was on the second floor.
Compared to the first floor, there are not many people on the second floor.
Facing it are three levels of steps paved with gold foil, and the steps are full of people. The first floor is full of charming and graceful palace ladies.
On the second floor, there were several noble men wearing python robes. It seems that they should be the princes of the Shengyuan Empire.
On the third floor, there was only one person, sitting on the dragon chair, looking down at the group of them.
Mu Qingge's left and right were all guest seats. Mu Qingge didn't look much at the person on her right. She was looking at the person on her left. People from the second-class country and the ancient wizard country have almost filled the guest seats, leaving only one seat at the end empty.
Needless to say, there are seats reserved for third-class countries.
The farthest, most remote, most inconspicuous corner.
Mu Qingge's eyes swept across the empty seat, and a faint and indifferent smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The distinction between status and grade was extremely clear at this reception banquet. From the moment they entered the palace, they were constantly reminded of their hierarchical distinctions, and seemed to be constantly warning them to know how to measure and know their place!
In the seats on the left, among the second-class seats, people from the Rong Kingdom cast a contemptuous and mocking smile at Mu Qingge. Although the other two countries did not show it clearly, the difference in levels still existed in their eyes.
Among them, Xue Qiong made Mu Qingge pay more attention.
Because, in the eyes Xue Qiong cast, she didn't see the same look as others, only a bit of curiosity.
What are you curious about
Mu Qingge understood after thinking about it. I'm afraid Xue Qiao's family letter has already arrived at the Xue family. They already know that the martial idiot of the Xue family married the eldest daughter of the Mu family of the third-class Qin country, so they are a little curious about her, Little Lord Mu. .
As for Jiang Li, he naturally gave her a friendly look with a hint of schadenfreude.
Mu Qingge withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and saluted His Majesty the Holy Yuan Empire: "Mu Qingge, a third-class country of Qin, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Yuan Empire. Long live your Majesty!"
"Third-class country Li Guofeng Yufei pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Shengyuan Empire. Long live your Majesty!"
"Zhao Nanxing of the third-class Yu State, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Shengyuan Empire. Long live your Majesty!"
Feng Yufei and Zhao Nanxing followed closely and paid their respects.
"It's actually you!"
"It's you, the thief!"
Before the emperor of the Shengyuan Empire could speak, he heard angry and resentful scolding coming from the seat on the right.
Mu Qingge raised his eyes and saw clearly the person on the seat on the right, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Haha, she was not surprised at all that Kuroki recognized her. But she didn't expect that Jingtian, who had a holiday with her at the Medicine Tower General Hospital, would actually appear here. And judging from the seat he is in, it seems that his status is not low.
Mu Qingge's eyes scanned lightly -
She didn't know many people in the seats on the right. Unexpectedly, the old man, the dean of the Medicine Pagoda General Hospital, also came and was looking at him with a smile on his lips.
Refining and Casting Tower, Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Sedum...
This palace banquet actually brought together people who had a grudge against Mu Qingge!
