Several maids in palace clothes quickly stepped forward to check the identities of everyone, and led Xu Mu and the others inside.

Hagi Niang noticed that the appearance of these maids did not have the characteristics of the Luo tribe, and they seemed to be pure Han people, but didn't the king encourage the two clans to marry, why did he dare to use only pure Han blood maids in the palace?

This little surprise was only a flash in her heart, and when everyone finally walked to the palace and saw the king from a distance, she was really surprised.

Although she was wrapped in a heavy dress and wore an intricate crown on her head, she could clearly see that the king was not an old man who was hanging down as she imagined.

Although his face was obscured by a beaded curtain in front of the crown, he could clearly see his white chin, no beard, and his complexion was very white and clean, as if he were a young man.

"How do you know that the king is an old man? How do you know that he has a group of wives and concubines? ”

The voice seemed to echo in her ears all at once, echoing in her heart over and over again......

Could it be that Ami is actually the person who prefers the king?

If it is true, he suspected from the beginning that he planned to murder the king, which is really ridiculous.

The ceremonial officer on one side solemnly stretched his voice and commanded: "Kneel ......!" ”

She didn't dare to think nonsense anymore, and hurriedly knelt behind Xu Mu with Jinu and the others.

After Xu Mu knelt down, he lowered his head and said slowly, word by word: "Your Highness, Weichen Xu Mu, I would like to come to worship on behalf of my father, and my father wishes you to be like a pine in a high mountain, lush and green, and live forever; I also wish the national fortune to be like a green peak rock, steady and prudent, and continue for thousands of years. ”

He memorized this passage over and over again for a long time, and he would not make a single mistake, but when he heard his voice alone in the huge hall, it seemed a little weak, as if his voice was a little trembling.

This is the benefit of being a superior, not to mention the serious master in the Jiankang Palace, even the Emperor of the Earth who is far away from the border, has such a big style and formation, the solemn palace, the wide main hall is extremely empty, this is the dignified atmosphere deliberately created by the superior.

In this solemn atmosphere, the ministers were a little trembling even when they spoke, how could they dare to have any covetousness for the royal family?

Sure enough, although Xu Mu had already finished speaking, King Fu was not in a hurry to answer, but did not say a word or say a word.

This silence was really panicking, Xu Mu only felt that the sweat on his forehead was about to run down, and after a long time, the king replied leisurely: "Aiqing, please get up." ”

Maybe this hall is too big to do, and the voice of the king sounds very ethereal.

The ceremonial officer on one side hurriedly sang at a long time: "Get up ......!" ”

Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly straightened up, but he still lowered his head and respectfully waited for the king to show him.

Hagi Niang quietly raised her eyes, wanting to see the side of the king clearly, but there were close servants who looked similar to Ami.

But at first glance, there were all handmaidens around, or there were bearded ministers, but not a single young man.

I saw that the king looked at the gift list very firmly, looking calm and relaxed, Xu Mu couldn't help muttering in his heart.

In the past, at this time, he should have directly let him retreat, but this time, His Highness didn't even order him to retreat, why is this?

Could it really be as the Zang girl said, something went wrong with this gift? Or, is the king not satisfied with this gift?

Just when he was upset, he heard that in the palace, the king actually spoke again, his voice showed a slight sense of appreciation, and slowly said to a minister wearing a high crown beside him: "This Xu clan will govern the city in an orderly manner, and worship on time every year, its intention is very sincere...... According to Meng Aiqing, what should this king reward them? ”

When Xu Mu heard this, he knelt down again humbly, looking flattered.

Hagi Niang and the others couldn't, so they had to kneel down as well.

Entering the palace is troublesome, you have to kneel at every turn, this leg is very sore!

She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

The courtier, who was called "Meng Aiqing", seemed to have an idea, and immediately knelt down and replied: "Your Highness, there must be no shortage of treasures in the city, it is better to hold a banquet in the palace, so that Xu Lang can have the opportunity to get close to His Royal Highness, presumably this is the real intention of the old city lord Xu to send his own son and nephew every time." ”

After hearing what he said, King Jian patted him on the shoulder with great appreciation, and said with a smile: "Meng Aiqing really knows my heart. ”

The matter was settled, beyond doubt.

Of course, Xu Mu hurriedly thanked him, but Hagi Niang couldn't help but complain again and again when he heard this, this palace is not a good place, just walk around, and now he has to accompany the king to eat together, in case someone targets the Xu family and makes the king poison or something, how can it be good?

However, the palace maid on the side had already walked over, and she was about to go down with them, and Hagi Niang was in a hurry, but there was no way at all.

Although this palace is solid and huge, but the magnificence is not at all comparable with the garden of the Huan family, and regardless of the huge difference in decoration, even the design itself is more practical than beautiful, and there is no sense of exquisiteness, but like the kind of architectural style in the north, even the trees planted in the courtyard are tall and straight pine and camphor, not the gentle and graceful flowers and bamboo forests in the south of the Yangtze River.

Several people, led by the palace maid, slowly walked on the path of the palace.

There was not a single person around, not even half of the guards.

Hagi Niang suddenly remembered Lin Chong's unjust case of "breaking into the White Tiger Hall at night" back then, and hurriedly asked the slave: "Can you hide the sword you have with you?" ”

When the slave heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, and whispered, "What nonsense? How can I bring sharp weapons in this palace, and I will take them all down when I enter the door. ”

Hagi Niang was a little relieved at this time, but she saw that the palace maids were taking them farther and farther, but she became uneasy.

Xu Mu heard the two whispering, so he turned around and smiled at them comfortingly, and persuaded softly: "Don't be impatient, this palace is already very big, when I came the first few times, if someone didn't lead the way, I was afraid that it would be difficult to get out." ”

Hagi Niang smiled at him reluctantly, but the faint uneasiness in her heart did not diminish at all.

After walking for a long time, the water vapor in the forest could be seen in the distance, Hagi Niang looked back, but saw that the palace was already in the bushes and could only see a small eaves.

That's just too far!

Hagi Niang couldn't help but say to one of the maids: "This sister, where are you taking us?" ”

Seeing the anxious look on her face, the maid couldn't help but hide her face and smile, and said gently: "Don't worry, girl, Your Highness has already ordered that you should entertain your guests in the most elegant place, so the Yuanshui Pavilion by the Yunnan River has already prepared a stove, just in front." ”
