Chapter 157: Goodbye
The royal palace of Great Chu is called Tianyuan Palace.
Tianyuan Palace is huge, and compared to Dayan's Longxiang Palace, it is like a three-story courtyard for a rich man in the countryside. There is neither style nor style.
When Wei Lai came to the Qiankun Gate of Tianyuan Palace, he couldn't help but feel such a feeling when he looked at the majestic palace gate.
In front of the Qiankun Gate of Tianyuan Palace, there was a surge of people.
Wei Lai was not surprised by this, the envoys sent by Li Chenghuang yesterday had already talked to Wei, today is the day for Emperor Chu to meet with envoys from all sides, after all, for a heavenly kingdom like Great Chu, there are envoys from all over the world every day, and it is not surprising that Wei Lai, the identity of the King of Wei, is sandwiched in it, and with the busyness of Emperor Chu, he will naturally not arrange extra time in order to meet a foreign prince.
Wei Lai was not in a hurry, he stood there quietly, waiting for the summons in the palace, and in this leisure time, he looked at the people around him who were also waiting.
These people are dressed in different attire, there are envoys in official robes, and there are also people from the Jianghu sect who are equipped with swords, but almost all of them are extraordinary, and they are all outstanding people in their respective realms, but outside the Tianyuan Palace of this Great Chu, they have to wait in line in a regular manner, and the strength of this Great Chu can also be seen.
"Xuan!"
"The envoys of the Jin Kingdom and the Ghost Rong entered the palace to admonish!"
At this time, a shrill voice came from the palace gate of Qiankun Gate, and two people lined up in the crowd.
One side wears the traditional official robe of the Central Plains, with a delicate figure, and at first glance it is from Confucianism, while the other side wears a velvet robe, is tall and has dark skin, like a warrior on the battlefield who fights more than envoys to other countries.
The two sides walked out, glanced at each other, and saw deep hostility in each other's eyes, and then each followed the eunuch in charge of the reception into the depths of the palace gate.
These days, Guirong and the Jin Kingdom in the east are at loggerheads because of a fertile land near the Daquan River Basin, and the Great Chu comes forward to mediate, estimating that the two countries will arrive at the palace gate of the King of Chu here, so it should be the same thing.
It's just a battle between the two countries, when the swords drink the blood and the bones of the soldiers are stacked up.
If there is no explanation that satisfies both sides, or if it is a strong enough deterrent, I am afraid that such a thing will not be able to be settled by some verbal disputes.
Wei Lai thought so in his heart, and was secretly curious about how Da Chu would solve this matter.
Time passed quickly, from the envoys of the Jin Kingdom and the Ghost Rong, to the various sects to give gifts, the time had come from morning to noon.
Wei Lai's brows furrowed, it stands to reason that as the king of Wei, even if his status is not as good as that of the envoys of those countries, but in terms of rituals, he is not superior to the disciples of these sects, but until this time, he still has not summoned his name.
Wei Lai didn't care about these red tape people, he just felt that it was abnormal and he was afraid that there would be variables.
"Ladies and gentlemen, wait for a long time, today is the day after the New Year, when our emperor first met with your envoys, things are busy and there is a lot of slackness, and I hope you Haihan. ”
"It's noon now, and my emperor is setting up a banquet for you in the palace, and I have come to entertain you, and there are also great happy events to announce to you and share with you!"
"Now, please come with me to the palace for a feast. ”
The eunuch's shrill voice sounded at the palace gate again, and the crowd began to pour towards the palace gate.
Wei Lai followed the crowd forward, and there was no shortage of people whispering, asking what the eunuch's "great happy event" was called.
But Wei Lai's face couldn't help but be a little strange, he secretly thought that this matter probably referred to his relationship with Li Chenghuang......
It's just that he thought that Emperor Chu loved his sister again, in this life event, how could the other party have a lot of considerations, how could he agree so easily, Wei Lai didn't know whether his guess was right or wrong, but his mood was inevitably a little complicated.
But as he himself said, he was willing to pay any price in order to find those people, and he was willing to do something against his heart.
......
Even before this, Wei Lai had been mentally prepared enough for the prosperity of this Great Chu, but after stepping into this Tianyuan Palace, Wei Lai still couldn't help but tremble.
After entering the Qiankun Gate, there was a wide and long avenue, on both sides of the avenue were guards dressed in gold armor and armed with swords, Wei Lai could feel a dangerous aura from them, obviously none of these guards were ordinary people. And this avenue is paved with white jade throughout
, and was cleaned spotlessly, there are countless towers in the distance on both sides are often more than ten zhang high, the purpose is unknown, but the momentum is magnificent.
Such a battle was something Wei Lai had never seen before, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened all the way, and he also had a new understanding of the strength of this Great Chu.
Soon, the group followed the eunuchs and guards to a magnificent hall.
The main hall is not as tall as the previous buildings, but it is extremely wide, and at first glance, Wei Lai feels that this palace may be able to accommodate thousands of people. Wei Lai looked up and saw a plaque hanging in front of the hall with the word "Daxiong" written on it.
The eunuchs and maids stood at the gate of the palace, asked for the identity of the comer, and then guided them to the seats that had been arranged for them according to their respective identities.
The efficiency of the people of the Great Chu Palace was surprisingly high, and the thousands of people waiting outside the palace gate were brought to their respective positions in just a quarter of an hour.
Soon it was Wei Lai's turn, and the palace man in charge of the guide asked Wei Lai's identity in a low voice, and after Wei Lai reported his name, Wei Lai could clearly feel that the palace person's face changed, and then his body was extremely deep, leading Wei Lai through the dense crowd in front of him and towards the front of the main hall.
Everyone couldn't help but cast strange glances at Wei Lai, and secretly inquired about Wei Lai's identity - the state banquet in the Great Chu Palace was of great significance, and the number of guests depended largely on the status of the other party.
Wei Lai is obviously a fresh face to everyone present, and he doesn't look very old, but looking at the posture of the palace people, Wei Lai's seat seems to be extremely high.
Wei Lai had expected this, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, his fresh face walked all the way to the front seat of the entire hall, even before the royal ministers.
Wei Lai sat down calmly under the gaze of everyone, and was about to look at the Emperor Chu on the high platform.
But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure diagonally behind, he and that figure should have never met, but for some reason the moment he saw the other party's appearance clearly, his body trembled suddenly, and he could no longer take his eyes away.
He looked at each other with a blank expression, and muttered a name in his mouth.
"Xu Yue......"
