Since the early morning of May 18, Shen Chai has felt that the intensive planning in the past few days has had taken effect.

First of all, the two sisters and mothers were invited to the palace by Xuanyue Guifei, and Princess Anping accompanied them, visited the garden to enjoy the flowers, set up a banquet to entertain them, and the concubine was directly at the dinner, expressing that she wanted to accept Shen Xinlan as a righteous daughter!

Later, Liu, Wei, and Yang all had ancestor-level figures enter the palace, meet the emperor, and talk very happily.

In the morning, Yongguo Gong Kou Sui suddenly fell seriously ill, and no guests were seen in the Kou Mansion, and Kou Sui, who was originally the matchmaker of the Fan family, could not even attend His Majesty's birthday banquet, and naturally it was impossible for Fan Hongyi to propose marriage.

The good news came to the Hou Mansion one after another, which made Shen Chai smile from ear to ear, and people in the capital who were able to inquire about the inside story were also impressed by this champion Hou.

After all, King Zhao's foundation is still shallow, and there is no doubt that he has influence in the military department, but no one expected that the champion Hou Shenchai could still have such great energy in the court. However, it soon became known that this was inseparable from the mediation of the Seventh Prince Ji Chen.

The Fan family backed down. Ji Chen rushed to Shen Chai's Hou Mansion, and as soon as he sat down, it was shocking news.

"How can you see it?" Shen Chai was also shocked, Fan Hongyi's son of Zuo Xiang, and the great-grandson of Fan Yi, King of Wu, and the help of the four princes, he had the confidence to call Ban Jichen and King Zhao, but he didn't expect that it was only eight days, and he actually admitted defeat?

"The key is Yongguo Gong!" Ji Chen was a little excited, and a trace of flush appeared on his face. "Hahaha, his Fan family doesn't even have a matchmaker, what if he doesn't admit defeat? Originally, even if Kou Sui changed his hexagram, he could ask the great Confucian Li Qingzheng to come forward. But it was not Li Qingzheng who he invited first, and now that there are variables, even if the Li family does not consider the gains and losses, they will not be able to live on face...... Don't you want to be a dignified Confucian?"

"This Kou Sui has such a big influence. Shen Chai was also a little staggered.

"Of course!" Ji Chen smiled. "Among all the old people who fought the world with his father, only he had the most special status and won the trust of his father. ”

"The rest, Fan Yi asked his father for King Wu, Liu Ruqin asked for the name Wenzong, the fourth and third princes of the Yang family, and the 28 surviving generals of Yuntai such as Li, Wei, Kong, and Chen. It can be said that none of the heroes in my Ji family who fought the world with my father and emperor were sorry for them!"

"Only the champion Hou Yang'an, the protector Shen Yin, and the Yongguo prince Kou Sui, these three people have made great contributions, but they didn't get much benefit at the beginning. Yang An is a little better, although he has some pity, but it is not his father's fault. Moreover, the father and emperor also treated the Yang family well, and Shen Yin, the protector of the country, if he hadn't been framed, your Shen family would have enjoyed all the glory and wealth. ”

"But the Duke of Yongguo, in his early years, he first charged for his father, and after the saddle horse, he blocked a shot from the puppet king Liu Xun for his father, and had to abandon Wu Congwen and become the state monarch in the rear. After that, his injuries improved slightly, and he followed Yang An to attack Antarctica, and was severely injured again. ”

"Nearly died twice before and after, resulting in irreparable injuries left behind both the way of Wenchen and the martial arts practice, and they only stayed in the True God Realm by all means. ”

"He missed the king, and he only got a national duke, and it was still a somewhat barren Yongzhou. Moreover, Kou Sui has never competed for fame and fortune, and for 800 years, the children of his Kou family have also been decent and abide by their duties. Therefore, the civil and military officials of the entire capital, the ministers of the court and the central government, only he can enter the palace at any time. Legend has it that when the world was first decided, there were still some absconding puppet kings and extraterrestrial forces who wanted to assassinate their father, and from time to time they caused chaos in the world, making it difficult for their father to sleep. ”

"Yongguo Gong put on armor and held a knife into Ziqing Sky to guard in front of his father's bed, so that he could sleep peacefully. In the whole world, the only minister who can win the trust of his father is Yongguo Gong. Ji Chen said with emotion.

"I see. Shen Chai was also embarrassed after hearing this, in terms of power, the Kou family may be far behind Fan, Liu, Yang, and Wei, but this trust is unmatched.

"Hahaha, I don't even know how you persuaded Yongguo Gong?" asked Ji Chen.

Shen Chai was at a loss. I didn't do anything, and the gifts were confiscated and kicked out.

"He didn't do anything other than let me do a little bit of swordsmanship. Shen Chai wondered.

"Invincible Sword Intent?" Ji Chen asked.

"Hmm. ”

Ji Chen nodded with a subtle expression.

Shen Chai didn't pay attention to the expression on Ji Chen's face, no matter whether the Fan family's concession was another conspiracy or retreat, they would continue according to the original plan.

"Where is Your Majesty's birthday banquet held?"

"Ling Xiaotian. ”

............

On May 18, the thirty-three heavens opened.

The entire capital city's great array is mysterious, surrounding thirty-three spaces, and in the same sky, there are thirty-three pieces of land appearing.

Ling Xiao Tian is in the center, and the other thirty-two heavens slowly rotate around Ling Xiao Tian, if you are lucky, even if you are lucky, even if you are a heavy heaven and earth walking sky, you can also see the scenery of the upper space.

As long as Shen Chai walked out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, he could see above his head, many upside-down black dots swimming in the streets and alleys, with Shen Chai's eyesight, he could naturally see that many people had taken to the streets to celebrate together. Even Shen Chai could see the starry sky that was close, and there were some women wearing veils flying to the height of this space and waving to men elsewhere......

"This is a real celebration of the whole world. Shen Chai smiled.

"The wonders of the thirty-three heavens, every year only on the day of His Majesty's birthday banquet, will be completely bloomed, there may be several spaces on weekdays, but there are few such panoramic views of the whole day. The director, Huang Jing, explained with a smile.

"Master Hou, the chariot has been prepared, and Miss Madam has been waiting for a long time, please change into a unicorn lying forest suit. ”

"Got it. Shen Chai waved his hand, and immediately passed through the armor guards and sat on the chariot of the seven dragons with two wings.

"Let's go!" the greedy wolf let out a low shout, and hundreds of armor soldiers rose into the air, hugging the chariot of Wuhou to travel to Ling Xiaotian.

............

"If you don't wait for your parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker, you will peep at each other through the holes, and follow each other on the wall, then your parents and people will be cheap!"

"In addition to the son-in-law, prisoners, secondary registration, and slaves, ordinary people must pay attention to this etiquette when they get married, and if they don't even have a matchmaker, it will be considered an insult to others. Princes and nobles, then pay more attention to these, these hundreds of years, Confucian etiquette has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even the foreign marquis, have learned a set of etiquette of our race. ”

"Of course, there are some people who are not included in this list, and the sects outside the Fangfang are impermanent, and there are no rules. There are also female cultivators who shave their hair and uniforms, and when they cultivate to a certain level, they will blur their gender, and everyone will only treat her as a man, and they will only recruit her in the future, or they will seek the Tao wholeheartedly and never marry for the rest of their lives. ”

In the carriage, Ji Chen and Shen Chai sat on a jade mat and talked eloquently. Ji Chen's palace was also in Yuehuatian, so as soon as he went out, Ji Chen invited Shen to catch up with the prince's Jiaolong chariot.

Of course, Shen Chai gladly accepted the invitation, anyway, now everyone knows that he is the person of the Seventh Prince Ji Chen, so there is no need to hide it.

"I heard that Champion Hou once entered the Nine Nether Realm to lurk, have you ever dealt with a female cultivator?" Ji Chen asked.

"There are one or two sects. Shen Chai nodded. "Among them, there is a sect called the Hehuan Sect, from the sect master to the disciples, all of them are women. ”

"Oh? And this kind of thing, really not even a man?" Ji Chen seemed to be interested, although he also had the experience of fighting and leading troops, but after all, he was a prince with a respected status, most of the time he was the commander of the rear, and no one would really let him do the things that were charged, if something happened, the martial marquis of the Northern Navy would be cold in his life. Therefore, Ji Chen's opportunity to contact other sects is limited to prison interrogation or private auctions of certain chambers of commerce.

"Yes, there are. Shen Chai said. "But it's either a lowly handyman, or a cultivated furnace. ”

"This king has only heard that there is an evil and prostitution practice in the sect world with a woman as the furnace, what is the difference between this man and the furnace?" Ji Chen is like a childlike teenager at the moment, full of curiosity.

"It's not a big difference, it's all about cultivating people into an existence with empty Yuanyang and vain combat power, for the master to absorb, or if there is a real difference, then I'm afraid that the number of male slaves like Hehuan Sect will be a little larger. Shen Chai explained.

"Why is that?"

"Has Your Highness ever heard a proverb?"

"What a proverb. ”

"There are only tired oxen, no ploughed fields. Presumably herein the difference. ”

“......”

Ji Chen looked at Shen Chai with a subtle expression, and only said after half a sound: "Champion Hou summed it up really ...... Incisive. ”

Shen Chai smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

It is inappropriate for a martial marquis and a prince to talk about these lewd topics.

Along the way, the two talked about some future plans, in addition to proposing marriage, the most important thing is to master the South China Sea Islands and let Zixuan inherit the position of Xuanyue Fairy. And, after the birthday banquet, enter the Wuhou Secret Realm to cultivate.

"The islands of the South China Sea are full of spiritual energy, and there are countless treasures of heaven and earth. Ten years ago, more than 120,000 kinds of tribute and military strategic materials were drawn up by the household department, and they came from the South China Sea, accounting for almost one-fifth of the world. ”

"The South China Sea Islands are ancient, many elders occupy a blessed land, with Xuanyue Immortal Island as the respect, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, there were many people in the South China Sea Islands who were stubborn, or respected by the Li Dynasty, did not recognize the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou, and intended to help Hou Li restore the country. ”

"But after my father went to the South China Sea, he beat all those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, which made the other party soften. Later, in order to calm people's hearts, his father married the contemporary goddess of Xuanyue Immortal Island, who was the Xuanyue Guifei. ”

"For eight hundred years, the South China Sea Islands have been obeying the dispatch of my Great Zhou, resisting the invasion and disaster from the Antarctic Kraken, and the disciples of many islands have also come to our court as officials, or added to the royal palace nobles, among which the official has done the most, is the two continents transfer envoy Hagrid, speaking of which, his son Haiqing also participated in the test of the Holy Word Secret Realm with you before, I don't know if you have seen it?"

Shen Chai recalled a little and nodded: "There was a relationship." ”

"This time, Haiqing will also enter the Wuhou Secret Realm, if you have the opportunity, you may be able to make friends with one or two. Ji Chen smiled.

"Wuhou Secret Realm, then Haiqing has this opportunity?" Shen Chai was a little surprised.

"The Wuhou Secret Realm is a place to cultivate Wuhou, not a Wuhou can only enter. Ji Chen explained.

"If you want to enter the secret realm of Wuhou, one is that you have amazing talent, and when you enter, your cultivation must not exceed the high-level and supernatural realm of Venerable, and you will have a chance to have a higher and more demonic talent. ”

"The second is that after the prince, the world is in Kyushu, and the king guards the royal family, and his descendants will of course be treated with special preferential treatment, and as the descendants of the king, their talent will not be bad. However, those who can enter the secret realm of Wuhou are generally the heirs to the title of king or duke, and the position they enter is Jin Wuwei. ”

"But you are already a martial marquis, and you have good talents, and you will be the commander of Jinwu when you enter, and your treatment is better than that of the rest. ”

"The four secret realms of the capital, including the world's talents, can be said to be the world's top geniuses, all gathered here. But its threshold is extremely high, and the number is too scarce. If the talent is medium, you can only enter the general-level secret realm. Only three years of training. ”

"Although the general-level secret realm is also at the Venerable level, and the resources are not bad, but there is not much hope of breaking through the true god, just give those Venerable Venerables who have made meritorious contributions a chance, whether they can seize the time of these three years, grasp the opportunity, it depends on themselves. Even so, the general-level secret realm is only a quota of 100,000 people. ”

Shen Chai nodded, 100,000 people seems to be a lot, but looking at the whole world, how many people are there? Da Zhou alone is a Wu'an army, there are nearly a thousand Venerables, and tens of thousands of Divine Powers Realm. 100,000 people is a very small number for the whole world.

"Wuhou Secret Realm, about 10,000 people. ”

"True King Secret Realm, about a thousand people. ”

"As for the population of the Divine King Secret Realm, I'm afraid there are not even a hundred. ”

"But the size of the secret realm, on the contrary, the God King secret realm is the largest, and the general-level secret realm is the smallest. ”

"The secret realm of the god king is only a hundred, but it is the largest secret realm?" Shen Chai frowned.

"That's status. ”

"Da Zhou has special preferential treatment for the strong, and the strong will naturally occupy better and more resources to resist strong enemies!"

"For example, in the General's Secret Realm, when the geniuses in it entered, only 10,000 contribution points were available, which was basically enough to buy a set of secret methods, and they couldn't even afford to buy a treasure. ”

"But as soon as you enter the Wuhou Secret Realm, it will be 100,000 contribution points! If you want to get more, you have to perform a 'dangerous' level, or even a 'life and death' level task! And there is no free guidance from the true god in the territory of the general secret, but in the secret territory of the martial marquis, you can hear the true god preach every once in a while. ”

"As for the True King Secret Realm, it's even more terrifying, starting with a million contribution points, and one person occupies a wide blessed land to cultivate, has a large number of servant costumes, can attract a lot of sparring partners, and so on. If there are any tasks, they are all selected by the upper secret realm. Ji Chen showed a hint of envy.

Shen chased the flute.

This difference is also too big, the generals who are majestic outside, and the generals who are guarding one side, when they arrive in the secret territory, they can't even afford to buy a set of treasures. And in the secret realm of the true king, a large number of points can be selected almost arbitrarily, and there are even true gods who not only give verbal guidance, but also sparring?

"There are only less than a thousand people in the True King Secret Realm, and looking at the world, almost all of them are invincible existences among the True Gods, such as King Zhao was once at the peak of the Venerable Level, and he is a famous genius in the True King Secret Realm. Ji Chen smiled. "Such a strong man has made a great contribution to the dynasty, and it is not surprising that he has such treatment. ”

Under Ji Chen's explanation, Shen Chai probably also knew a little about the four secret realms, but only the God King Secret Realm knew very little about Ji Chen, because even he had never been there. Only when he is crowned king in the future can he know more.

Before you know it, the carriage stopped.

Ling Xiaotian has arrived.

............

Lingxiaotian, the Imperial City.

The surging heavenly river flows through the palace complex, like the Milky Way across the sky, which is very spectacular.

The whole imperial city, the palace garden, pavilions and pavilions, Lingshan Lake, the palace mansion, continuous 300,000 li, isolated from the sun, between the palaces there are complex corridors, cloud bridges are connected, dense and light, rising and surrounding, as if the fairy palace heaven.

The first-class king, the second-class duke, and the third-class waiting. Civil and military officials, according to different ranks and status, enter each palace and take a seat.

Lingxiao Heavenly Palace, Ziqing Palace, Princely Palace, Wenchen Garden......

When the night generals, the starlight in the sky is distributed in the middle of the thirty-three heavens, becoming an embellishment.

All the palaces are entities, but when the gaze is condensed in one place, it becomes completely transparent like glass, and you can see the rest of the palaces, so that no matter where the participants sit in Ling Xiaotian, they can see the figure of the human emperor in the center.

"It was an eye-opener. Shen Chai sat in the seat of the Wuhou of the Imperial Palace, looking at the sometimes transparent and sometimes practical cases in front of him, and couldn't help but exclaim, just a few cases, there was actually the characteristics of the semi-realization of the cave in the realm of supernatural powers, and Shen Chai was also amazed by the methods of the Great Zhou Ministry of Industry.

Many courtiers who came for the first time also watched this scene with great amazement.

"It is rumored that this palace is transformed by the gods, and every seemingly ordinary object has the characteristics of a divine soldier. ”

"Look at the dragon pillar, the dragon pattern on it is like a living thing, it's terrifying!"

"Tsk, even the luminous cup is a fourth-order divine weapon, you said that if you bring back a ......"

"Nonsense, stinky boy, hurry up and dispel this idea, don't hurt your son!"

"Ouch, the child knows the wrong father......"

............

The dinner officially began, and the Emperor of the People appeared in the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace with a group of concubines, including the queen, Xuanyue Guifei, Yuan Fei, and Chen Concubine...... There are also princes, princesses, and lords who come from all over the world.

All kinds of ambilight, shrouded in immortals, there are thousands of people!

"The scale of the royal family is really not ......small," Shen Chai said secretly.

Eight hundred years, if the royal family is willing to live, in fact, it is not surprising that there is such a scale.

"Virtue carries things, humanity is prosperous, all people are happy, and blessings are long. ”

"Kyushu Dingding, opening the eternal world, revising the canon, with the wisdom of the world; the rules of the week, the evil is not sparse, the old are supported, the young are dependent, the country and the people are safe, the merit of the prosperous era, fortunately depends on one person ......"

The voice of the ceremonial official was extremely loud, echoing in the thirty-three heavens, which was chanting the merits of the human emperor.

"Congratulations to my emperor, eternal life!"

All the courtiers, the people of the thirty-three days, all bowed upwards in unison.

"Congratulations to my emperor, eternal life!"

"Congratulations to my emperor, eternal life!"
