About two hours later, a group of palace ladies suddenly came to this side hall, saying that the banquet would begin in half an hour, and they had come to invite him to bathe and change his clothes first.

said that since he passed out five days ago, An Ruyue went to his room every day to wash his face and wipe his body, although he didn't feel any scrubbing on his body at this time, but he still really felt that he hadn't bathed for a long time.

In line with the idea of the guest and the host, Qing Ci followed the palace ladies to a soup pool.

Seeing that two women were about to come forward to help him untie his clothes, Qing Ci hurriedly pulled his clothes and retreated, and said as he retreated: "Sisters, you don't need to serve this kind of thing, I can come by myself." ”

One of the leaders of the palace said very seriously: "Gongzi Long is a distinguished guest specially invited by His Majesty, and the slaves and maids are responsible for serving Gongzi. ”

Hearing this, Qing Ci hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no, no, don't slack off, I'm a mountain village man, I'm self-sufficient on weekdays, not so expensive." Why don't you wait outside, sisters, and if I need it, call my sisters in, okay?"

Looking at Qing Ci's nervous appearance, several palace ladies on the side couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle, and the one at the head turned his head and glared at them, and then he respectfully owed Qing Ci, "Since this is the case, the slaves and maids are waiting outside." ”

When several palace ladies withdrew, the sound of giggles faintly came-

"This dragon boy doesn't seem to be as inaccessible as rumored. ”

"Yes, yes, it's a talent, and it's polite. ”

"We have all been given to him by the king, and he is still so restrained, could it be that he has not experienced the wind and moon yet?"

"Then if we serve him tonight......

The last sentence was not very clear, but Qing Ci's heart still couldn't help but "chuckle", secretly wondering if this monarch kid was self-righteous, was this planning to buy him with beauty and power?

After untying his clothes, Qing Ci's whole body was relaxed and lay in the soup pool, but his mind couldn't relax - for Ziqingke's evil crooked ways that plagued the people, whether it was Luo Fan and others who came here first, or he and Cang Wunian's group, I am afraid they would have to take care of it.

But this Ziqingke is also the national teacher of Changyue Kingdom, and if he makes a move, he will inevitably involve these palace nobles, and the ensuing red tape and the hypocrisy and grievances between people really annoyed him. If he hadn't used the identity of "Long Lian", he would really want to leave, saving himself too much to do with these worldly emperors.

"Hey, if this is put in the past, not to mention the monarch of the Changyue Kingdom in this mere area, even the account master of the Emperor of Heaven will not necessarily buy it. It's really been in the human world for a long time, and the more I live, the more I go back. Qing Ci leaned his head against the edge of the soup pool, and couldn't help but laugh at himself in a low voice.

After the bath, as soon as Qing Ci got together, Gong E outside hurried in, everyone was holding a thing in their hands, Qing Ci was secretly glad that he had just put on his dirty pants first, otherwise his innocence would be really difficult to guarantee.

"Young Master Long, this is the clothes that His Majesty sent someone to prepare for you, the banquet will start in a while, and I also ask Young Master Long to allow slaves and maids to change your clothes for you. Gong E, who was the leader, said respectfully.

"Hey, come on, come on, if I don't wear these complicated clothes today, I'm afraid you will not be able to deal with each other one by one. Qing Ci said helplessly.

A group of palace ladies got Qing Ci's permission, and immediately fiddled for him, where the three layers of clothes rolled their eyes, and his black hair was also allowed by one of the palace ladies to tinker around.

After finally being tossed by them, Qing Ci glanced at himself in the bronze mirror, a wide-sleeved robe with red, black, and yellow colors and extremely complex embroidery patterns, and a black hair tied up high by a gold-inlaid jade crown, as if he was dressed as the secretary of Changyue State.

Qing Ci couldn't help frowning, it seems that this monarch kid wants to give him an official and a knight? After all, Ziqingke's henchman has not been completely wiped out, if he doesn't win over a powerful person to beware of Ziqingke's return rifle, I'm afraid that this monarch's position is also like sitting on pins and needles.

"Childe, it's almost time, and I ask Childe to move to Changle Hall with the slave maid. Gong E said to Qing Ci respectfully.

Qing Ci sighed secretly, and as Zhong Gong'e left the soup pool, he was immersed in his thoughts all the way, thinking about how to refuse Xiao Ce's kindness after seeing him for a while, so as not to refute his face too much.

In this palace, Qing Ci is wandering all over the world, but the paintings outside the palace are all over the city and Cang Wunian have just left the gate of the Guogong Mansion in disappointment - in order not to suddenly appear and disappear in broad daylight and cause panic among the people, they came in a hurry, but the other party told them that Huo Zhong, Huo Zhiyuan and Huo Shudie had already entered the palace half an hour ago.

"What can I do? I am afraid it is impossible to enter the palace openly. Hua Chengcheng said with a dejected face.

"Go in with your body hidden, just make sure that Qingci is not in danger. Other than that...... I also want to see what this kid looks like when he is forced to marry. Cang Wunian's tone was a rare schadenfreude.

The two of them found a deserted street corner, and disappeared in a flash, and soon appeared in the palace.

"This palace is so big, where can we find Qingci?" I don't know where I landed in the palace, and I couldn't help but say in distress.

"You wait for me here. Cang Wunian patted the hand of the painting Allure lightly, and then he jumped and flew into the air.

Cang Wunian, who was high in the sky, condensed his mana on his eyes, and quickly swept every corner of the palace, when he found that a certain place seemed to be particularly lively, and many officials and palace people were gathering in that place, he knew in his heart that that place was where the monarch was.

As soon as her body moved, Cang Wunian returned to Hua Chengcheng's side, grabbed her hand and said, "Come with me." ”

At this time, Qing Ci was already in the Changle Palace, and his seat was in the first place under the monarch, which was enough to show that the monarch attached great importance to him, so since he came in, people kept coming to salute him to congratulate him.

Qing Ci only felt ridiculous in his heart, but he also helplessly cooperated with everyone, and the corners of his mouth almost didn't cramp.

"Brother Wunian, Qing Ci Guo is really here, look at his dress, and how he looks!" As soon as he entered the hall, Hua Chengcheng pointed to Qing Ci in the distance and said with a smile.

Cang Wunian nodded, "It seems that the monarch of this Changyue Kingdom has made up his mind to win him over." ”

Suddenly, Qing Ci's face froze, and he felt that someone was hiding and approaching his side, but his mana had not recovered at all now, so he couldn't see who was approaching him. His heart couldn't help but get nervous, if that Ziqingke was his henchman, then what should he do?

"Brother Wunian, Qing Ci didn't even see us?" Walking in front of Qing Ci about a foot in front of him, Hua Chengcheng couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Cang Wunian frowned, sighed and said, "It seems that I said that his current mana is similar to that of Ruyue, and I really didn't wronged him." ”

"Are you talking about Sister Ruyue's mana in the Shura realm, or the mana after being suppressed in the human realm?" asked Hua Chengcheng cautiously.

"Mana after being suppressed in the human world. Cang Wunian shook his head helplessly.

"Huh?" said the painter, "how can this be? How long will it take him to recover?"

Who knows, I can only go back and ask him if he has a solution to his current situation. Cang Wunian replied in a low voice.

Qing Ci waited for a long time, and found that the person who came was about a foot away from him and stopped moving forward, he couldn't help but be stunned, and called tentatively: "Brother Ah Nian?"

"He's found us!" Seeing Qing's resignation, Cang Wunian shouted, and the painting Allure was quite pleased.

Cang Wunian raised his eyebrows, "The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and although it can't be seen, it can still feel our presence. In this way, perhaps his recovery is also a matter of time. ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the shouting voice of the chamberlain from the hall: "The prince of Zhenguo has arrived-"

With this shout, all the people in the hall cast their concerned eyes at the door of the hall, only to see Huo Zhong slowly walking in from the door with the support of Huo Zhiyuan and Huo Shudie, presumably because the injuries on his body were indeed not light, and his movement was a little inconvenient.

"General Huo, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to General Huo!"

"General Huo can be described as a double happiness this time!

As soon as the three of them entered the hall, many people immediately surrounded Huo Zhong to congratulate him, although Huo Zhong's complexion was not very good at the moment, but everyone could see the joy of his body. And Huo Shudie, who was holding him on the side, had a faint flush on his round face, and he had the shy appearance that his daughter should have.

Qing Ci secretly thought in his heart, sure enough, it was thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, and the feng shui took turns, this generation of Huo family, who was loyal to Changyue Kingdom, finally raised his eyebrows again when he arrived at Huo Zhong's generation. Just as he was thinking about whether he should get up and go to congratulate everyone else, the shouting voice of the chamberlain sounded again: "Your Majesty has arrived—"

Everyone once again turned their eyes to the entrance of the hall, only to see Xiao Ce slowly walking in from the door surrounded by a group of palace laves, and the ministers who were originally around Huo Zhong hurriedly moved out of the way on both sides.

When Xiao Ce walked up to the first seat and sat down, all the people in the hall knelt down and saluted, shouting: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live-"

However, among these people who knelt down and saluted, Qing Ci was particularly abrupt, because he did not kneel, but only bowed slightly.
