Chapter 261: A Grand Reception
The arrival of the Federal Mission was immediately received by the Imperial side to the highest standards.
The feather ship had just docked in the airport of Yingtian City, and there were already countless officials of the Imperial Rite Department, waiting early at the position where everyone in the Federation was about to leave the ship.
And behind the officials, in front of the luxurious Qi-powered limousine, the red carpet for boarding the limousine has already been paved, as well as the exquisite cushion platform for easy boarding.
The limousines were already puffing out white smoke, waiting for the arrival of the federal mission.
Even the wide avenue leading to the Imperial State Guest House had been thoroughly cleared and sealed off early, and on both sides of the road were fine horsemen in fine armor, waiting for the mission to pass without saying a word.
For such a grand welcome, not to mention Jiang Lan and Mao Nier and others, they were immediately completely shocked.
Even Su Mu, who had gradually become accustomed to enjoying honor, was also slightly dazed.
However, as the highest-ranking dean of the academy in the mission, Deng Shunlath already has a big-character realm after all, and his vision has long been unshackled by worldly external objects.
So even in the face of today's formation, Deng Shunlath still looked as usual, and led the way with his head held high.
But as the mission, under the leadership of Deng Shunla, had already boarded the car under the greeting of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Su Mu also discovered a detail hidden in the convoy:
Although the most honorable of the convoy was the first limousine, it was only natural that it would be ridden by the Dean of the College.
And the limousine, which is in second place, has also become the car of Lu Xi, the leader of the team.
However, the car in the third position is obviously different from the front and rear cars, not only in terms of shape, but also in terms of decoration and decoration.
To put it simply...... The rest of the limousines were extravagant, but they were decorated with just plain lines, but the third-placed limousine had a dragon of frost on the outside.
You must know that the Xuanfrost Dragon on the Cold Iron Stone Plain is fundamentally the belief totem of the Longtuo Empire.
So who exactly is the third limousine arranged, in fact, it is self-evident!
......
However, in addition to the details arranged on the limousine, the Longtuo Empire did not specifically treat Su Mu and Su Tong differently in terms of reception.
The delegation and his entourage, under the most solemn reception of the Empire, soon arrived at the Imperial State Guest House.
Speaking of the Imperial State Guest House, this is actually a building that communicates the imperial capital and the imperial city.
The outer gate of the State Guest House is just connected to the welcoming avenue where various missions visit, and in the opposite direction of the outer gate, it is also just facing the Imperial Imperial City of Zhu Chi Forbidden City.
Both the monarch of the empire and the princes under his knees can come directly from the imperial city to the guest house to welcome all kinds of imperial visitors.
And after arriving at the State Guest House, of course, the members of the delegation immediately came to the largest hall in the State Guest House, surrounded by countless imperial officials.
In the carved and painted hall, there are already countless cases and cushions, on the left is the seat of the Imperial Guest, and on the right is the place where the Academy mission will be seated.
And in this hall, the five animals prepared according to the highest welcome etiquette of the empire are also roasting in the center of the hall at this moment.
The gentle and fragrant smell has long permeated the entire hall.
Even at this moment, except for the emperor himself, the rest of the princes and relevant officials were already sitting on the left side of the main hall, quietly waiting for the guests to take their seats.
Su Mu noticed that the leader in the seat on the left was a young man who looked exceptionally heroic.
According to Su Tong's description, Su Mu quickly determined that he was the one who had been fighting outside all the year round...... The eldest son of the emperor, Su Zheng!
On Su Zheng's side, above the second-ranked seat, the person sitting now is a gentle and elegant son.
And with the arrival of Su Mu and Su Tong, this person showed a hint of a smile to the two of them in a subtle and friendly manner.
There is no doubt that this person is also the one who has reached a temporary alliance with Su Mu and the others, and sits on the civil power of the entire empire...... The second prince of the empire, Su Tan!
......
However, it was also when everyone in the mission was seated, and everyone from the imperial side and the mission side were also looking at each other from a distance and smiling.
With the chanting of the court officials, the emperor himself finally arrived.
The emperor should be in his prime now, and according to Su Mu's expectations, it must be an image that looks extremely heroic and domineering.
However, when the emperor himself appeared in front of Su Mu's eyes surrounded by internal officials, Su Mu was a little surprised by the emperor's old age.
In terms of age, the Emperor has only just crossed half a hundred this year. In addition, you are the supreme of the empire, and the method of prolonging life enjoyed by the emperor of the empire should naturally be countless times that of ordinary people.
But it is under such a premise that the emperor of the empire, who is over fifty years old, has already revealed his old state very bluntly.
Although the Emperor's body seemed to be fine, his slightly cloudy eyes looked like an old man on the verge of death.
It was not until this moment that Su Mu finally understood why the battle for the heir was so fierce.
Because anyone who sees the appearance of the Emperor will be worried about the sudden departure of the Emperor, and once that time comes...... You must decide who will be the next emperor!
Fortunately, such a question is not so important and worthy of attention for Su Tong, who has already decided to withdraw from the imperial dispute.
So much so that at this time, Su Tong looked at the emperor's eyes, but he was a little more worried about being a child.
Whether it was true or not, the emperor did give Su Tong a lot of favor.
Now where can Su Tong do it, completely ignore it.
However, at this time, the emperor also seemed to be aware of Su Tong's gaze.
And what's even more strange is that the emperor's sincere concern for Su Tong not only did not show the slightest joy, but what he had in his eyes was only a kind of anger and unwillingness.
Even this emotion itself was only a flash in the eyes of the emperor.
The next moment, the emperor had already changed into a proud posture, and then said lightly to everyone under the throne:
The arrival of the federal mission made the widow very happy. And the widow's favorite daughter has now returned to the embrace of the empire with her, which also comforts the widow. Therefore, today's grand gathering is not only for the common prosperity of the two countries, but also for the selfishness of the widow. ”
"May the High Dragon God bless the land beneath my feet...... It's forever prosperous!"
