Chapter 158: Blatant Publicity
Qin Jian looked back at himself who had been stinky all over his body because of his cultivation for many days, and suddenly felt that it was very inappropriate to go like this. The apology made Huang Li wait for a while, and he quickly ran to the bathroom to take a bath, and put on the clothes that Jiwen specially bought for himself from the capital the day before yesterday, and dressed up like a different person. Originally, he was handsome, but now this clothes fit well, and the fabric is exquisite. It's like the son of a rich family.
Huang Li looked at Qin Jian, who had just been dressed, and couldn't help but applaud in his heart, even if he looked at the entire empire, it was difficult to find a character that was better than it!
"Teacher Huang Li, is this okay?" Qin Jian asked Huang Li as he tied his hair into a hero knot with silk threads and then scattered it back of his head.
Huang Li's eyelids jumped, and he said bitterly: "You kid is dressed like this, even I can't tell whether it's a boy or a girl." Later, I will see that the princesses will take a fancy to it and be the master of the horse!
Qin Jian also laughed when he heard this. Ji Wenlai was already waiting at the door of Zhiyuan Hall, and when he saw that Huang Li had informed the individual that he had not replied for a long time, he was really anxious to wait, so he turned around and looked for it. At this time, I happened to see the two of them talking and laughing, and they laughed out loud when they heard it. stepped forward to give Qin Jian a haircut that was still a little disheveled. He nodded and said, "Well, she is indeed handsome like a little girl." ”
Qin Jian smiled embarrassedly. Out of the Lei Hall, at this time the person who came here to pick up and drop off has been replaced by a royal coachman, whose carriage is not only luxurious and spacious, but also runs without a sense of trembling.
A few hours later, the carriage had galloped to the main square in front of the palace, which was the inner circle closest to the palace, which belonged to the forbidden area, and ordinary people were not allowed to come to visit. From here, you can see the scale of the palace. It was the first time Qin Jian had seen the palace when he was so big, and he couldn't help but be shocked by its magnificent atmosphere. The majestic and continuous palace buildings spread out on both sides, as if there was no end to it. At this time he was still on the ground, blocked by the city wall in front of him, and if he stood up and looked down at the tower, what a magnificence it would be!
Seeing this momentum, Qin Jian couldn't help but stop shaking his head in admiration, causing Huang Li and Ji Wen to laugh secretly. Soon a guard came over and took the three of them into the palace, and after passing through the city gate, Qin Jian found that the city wall was hundreds of meters thick, which showed that its majesty and the effort spent on construction were as straight as a copper wall. Passing through this heavy city tower, suddenly the eyes are incomparably open, an empty large square, a palace in the distance is particularly majestic and magnificent, the red wall and yellow tiles and the blue sky and white clouds reflect each other, and the surrounding towers stand far away like thousands of guards are trying their best to defend their masters. That breath of slaughter rushed in, and the qi was stagnant.
Qin Jian and the three of them were led by the guards to the middle palace, and they were in the center of the square at this time, and they suddenly felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more solemn as they walked. I feel that the world is incomparably open, but I am extremely small, looking at the palace in front of me from afar, I seem to have become as small as an ant. The closer he got to the central palace, the solemn aura kept pouring over his body, and finally he wanted to prostrate on the ground and bow to him. This kind of deterrent power generated by the building, Qin Jian still felt it for the first time, and hurriedly used the source force to run non-stop and fight around, which made his heart calm down.
Huang Li and Ji Wen also smiled secretly when they saw each other. When he and the others first came to the palace, they were also intimidated by its momentum, and the cultivation of the same companions was slightly worse, and they knelt on the ground on the spot. It can be seen that the palace building implies the principle of the magic circle and the five elements. It is not to be regarded as an ordinary building.
Soon the three were led into the front of the palace by the guards. Qin Jian looked up. 'Zixiao Palace' has three big golden characters. The writing is extremely strong and powerful. Obviously from everyone. The guards only brought them here, and turned back without saying hello. Qin Jian and the others had to go inside carefully. As soon as he entered the hall, Qin Jian couldn't help but be surprised. I saw that the hall was not as rich as I imagined. Dozens of large pillars full of dragon patterns stand in the empty hall, except for a dragon chair and screen set up on the high platform in the middle of the hall, there is nothing superfluous, and the ground is paved with gold bricks that can be seen in the light. The caisson overhead, which is more than ten feet high, is filled with dragon patterns painted with golden light, which is extremely luxurious. Such an empty and spacious palace makes people feel even more humble and insignificant, which is similar to the momentum caused by the palace buildings outside.
Just as Qin Jian was feeling the situation in this palace, Huang Li had already taken his hand. Only then did he find that the empty hall was already full of no less than a hundred people, most of them dressed in official uniforms, obviously the ministers of the Chinese military department. Qin Jian didn't know them either, so he only stood carefully beside Huang Li and Ji Wen. I didn't dare to come forward and salute.
Huang Li and Ji Wen didn't seem to be familiar with these people, but they were stunned when they saw Moody's and his wife not far away. I think that his sins were forgiven by the Empire. Mr. and Mrs. Moody also saw them, and after glancing at the three of them with their spare eyes, they stood directly behind the officials without saying a word. Also, whoever is in the mood to greet the opponent after leading the team to defeat himself and almost go to prison. Moreover, he is already a waste, and he will no longer be able to compete with others in this life. All this is because of them, it can be said that Moody has only one hatred in his heart for Huang Li, Ji Wen, and Qin Jian.
And Huang Li and Ji Wen would not step forward to be bored, so after taking Qin Jian to salute everyone, he walked straight to the back of the crowd and stood still.
Qin Jian was young after all, and he looked up at everyone curiously. No, he had already seen several acquaintances, when the prime minister Yan Shunting, He Mutai and his son He Yuanlong were all standing in front of the crowd, obviously they had already seen Qin Jian and the three of them coming, but out of court rules and etiquette, and they didn't want people to know that they had an overly intimate relationship with the three of them, so they didn't come to say hello. Qin Jian didn't care, he just glanced at the person in front of him curiously, and at this moment, he swept an old acquaintance in his eyes, it was Liu Yiyi, the genius of Yutang who won the final first place in the Four Halls Competition. When she saw Qin Jian's gaze sweeping, she immediately beckoned to him, and wanted to come to talk to him, but she was forced back by the Yutang Chair Borg and Ai Xin beside her.
Liu Yiyi was obviously extremely reluctant to see this, but the two chairs dared to walk around on the side. I had to cast an apologetic look at Qin Jian. Qin Jian hurriedly smiled at him and signaled that it didn't matter. At this moment, a voice suddenly sang on the side of the main hall: "Silence!" and after a few breaths, he sang loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
All the personnel in the hall immediately fell to their knees. Qin Jian had no choice but to kneel on the ground with everyone, thinking to himself: "This meeting is much more solemn and grand than when I met him in Zhiyuantang Square. The majesty and score of this son of heaven are really big enough!"
Busy looking around, including Huang Li and Ji Wen, they all lowered their heads, kneeling quietly without moving, this kind of step-by-step order made Qin Jian a little unbearable, and quietly raised his head and looked forward in the cracks. I saw many palace maids and eunuchs emerging in a corner of the main hall, some spraying incense in front, some holding palace fans, and some holding jade plates in their hands, with all kinds of extremely rare fruits in them, not to mention eating, I haven't even seen them. looked at Qin Jian's drooling water.
They were followed by a group of civilian-looking ministers, who held the four treasures of the study in their hands, and some of them also held a legal code. There were about a dozen people in total. After these people walked by, they were followed by the crown prince and the second prince, each holding a girl in their hands. It was He Rongrong and Xiao Lingling. There are also several girls dressed in very rich clothes in the back, like princesses.
Suddenly, Qin Jian's heart felt as if he was stumped by something, and his heart suddenly became heavy. Xiao Lingling's appearance in the palace at this time made him feel that it was not as simple as he imagined. When the second prince was in Zhiyuan Hall, he held Xiao Lingling in front of the public, thinking that he was just bringing a female companion. Now in this palace, in the Golden Palace, Xiao Lingling's hand once again appeared in front of the civil and military officials, at this time, if Qin Jian can no longer see what this means, then he is really too stupid!
In an instant, he only felt dizzy. The whole body was as if it had been hollowed out in an instant! When he regained his senses and quickly bounced up, he wanted to step forward and take apart the second prince's hand holding Xiao Lingling.
Huang Li saw that Qin Jian was moving beside him, and he couldn't help but be startled when he looked sideways. Reaching out and pulling him in the flash. At this time, if you let him be confused, he will immediately commit the crime of driving in shock.
Ji Wen beside him had also realized that Qin Jian was wrong, raised his eyes and looked ahead, and immediately understood why Qin Jian would make such a move at this time. I was even more anxious that something would happen to him because he was desperate. You must know that once you commit a fool in the main hall of the palace, your sin will be great! The royal people still care that you are the future pillar of the empire, as long as you are the slightest disrespect to the royal family, the fate that awaits you will be very terrible.
She hurriedly took Qin Jian's hand and gestured to Qin Jian with a pleading gaze. Qin Jian had already lost his mind, but under the double persuasion of Huang Li and Ji Wen, he slowly regained his senses. I thought to myself that I had indeed been a little reckless just now. Just like disturbing the royal etiquette, his crime is extremely great, and if he doesn't get it right, he will directly implicate the two teachers. Besides, he hasn't figured out what this is all about, so he is so impulsive, wouldn't he lose the earnest teaching of Master Tianlong and Old Man.
As soon as he thought of this, his heart was shocked, and he quickly calmed himself down, and hurriedly knelt on the ground. Fortunately, they were at the end of the crowd, and Qin Jian rose up angrily, but he didn't attract everyone's attention for a while. The second prince Yinyi, who could turn around from the side of the main hall, had long been paying attention to every move in the main hall. Seeing Qin Jian jump up and fall to the ground again, he felt that he had never been happy and happy before, and finally avenged the Purgatory Gu Dabi that he had planned for a long time for being destroyed by him.
Yes, although Qin Jian's achievements in the Purgatory Valley were not particularly dazzling, they had already been glimpsed from them after several scrutiny by many strategists. Originally, this Purgatory Valley Dabi was really the best opportunity for them to bring down the prince group, but the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and they were easily broken by Qin Jian.
As a prince, Yinyi has been planning for the throne for a long time. When they carefully laid out the game, they never thought that this little Qin Jian could have such great energy. Originally, according to his father's attitude towards Qin Jian, he wanted to try his best to win over him and deal with him. I didn't think that this great opportunity would disappear, not to mention, those officials who were loyal to themselves, seeing that their enthusiasm for losing power suddenly stopped, and even the people who saw the wind made the helm run directly to the prince's side, so that the wind direction that was already better than him was completely reversed. Not to mention that at this time, there is no energy to arrange a plan to deal with the prince. Even cleaning up this mess is powerless!
As for Qin Jian, he still dared to have any hope, he had long regarded it as a thorn in his side, and he hated to eat his flesh raw. In addition, he likes Xiao Lingling very much, and now it can be said that it is not only a battle for the throne, but also involves the belonging of the beloved woman. Although Yinyi himself is a prince, he is inevitably a child. Originally, according to the age of him and the crown prince Yinren who were almost in their early thirties, it was normal to have a teenage child earlier. But Yinyi, who was the father of the emperor at the beginning, married He Rongrong, the daughter of He Mutai, to the prince. At that time, she was not yet five or six years old. Since the crown prince can't start a family, it is even more impossible for the second prince to be earlier than his brother, so his life's major events have been postponed indefinitely. But this is only one of the reasons, with his talent, he is actually the first person in the Yin family in a thousand years. There are very few women in the entire empire who can match him. Even the sharpness of the cultivation of high vision is the most important reason for today's singleness. Ever since Xiao Lingling joined Fengtang, he recognized her at first sight. At this time, with his cleverness, after a little thought, he had already found Qin Jian's weakness from it.
So he immediately launched an "attack" on Xiao Lingling. Since she returned to the hall from the Purgatory Valley, he directly asked people to take her to the palace, and accompanied her every day to talk about the world, picking on Xiao Lingling's preferences. Originally, he was born extremely graceful, and with rich reading ability, he was more calm than Qin Jian's image of a big brother in her mind. The kind of royal demeanor that is often exaggerated is something that Qin Jian does not have. After a few days, I unconsciously won the joy of the little girl.
In addition, Xiao Lingling is still young and simple-minded, how can she tell the good from the bad for this kind of scheming, and Yinyi really loves her. As a prince and she are in the same vein as Fengtang, he is her senior brother, even if he sometimes shows obvious love, the little girl is not good at showing her kindness for a while. So during this period of time in the palace, she didn't have the boredom brought about by practicing every day, but felt very novel.
On this day, Yinyi asked him to attend with his father to meet with the top three students of Purgatory Valley, and she agreed without any consideration. I didn't expect Qin Jian to come at all, and I didn't care about what the consequences would be after he and the second prince appeared on such an important occasion.
At this time, he followed the second prince to the back of the main hall, and under her attention, she happened to see the scene of Qin Jian being pulled down by Huang Li and Ji Wen. I just sighed in my heart. She was originally an extremely smart person, and immediately thought that this was Brother Qin Jian's idea that she and the second prince were so in and out of each other. I couldn't help but be anxious. However, at this time, a large number of palace maids and eunuchs had already welcomed them to the center of the main hall. At this time, the entire palace can be said to be smelling a needle, and the second prince took her hand and secretly sent a source force, which completely stabilized her anxious heart. Turning his head, he couldn't help but smile slightly at the second prince Yinyi to express his gratitude.
