Chapter 184: The Most Honored Guest

The dinner was presided over by Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the major vassal states of the Tang Dynasty were invited, so the banquet was quite formal.

The banquet was held at the Shenghua Palace, southwest of the palace, and all guests must have an invitation issued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person to be eligible for entry. And each invited guest can only bring no more than two attendants into it.

Before it was dark, Princess Jade took the deputy of the envoy and a maid to Shenghua Palace. And that maid is naturally the Qingqiu Queen Su Ahri who is quietly lurking.

And Mo Chen walked with it.

Along the way, Su Ahri secretly looked at Mo Chen from time to time, and his expression sometimes flashed with shame, sometimes with annoyance. Her expression changed, and she did not escape the gaze of the jade-faced princess.

In this regard, she became more and more worried in her heart, and she became more and more sure of her previous speculation.

Su Ahri came for Mo Chen's sake at all, and he didn't have good intentions!

Although Mo Chen felt Su Ahri's gaze, he didn't care. After all, the strength of the mere Sage realm is not worth his attention. Compared with Su Ahri's existence, Mo Chen is more related to another person.

Or rather, an uninvited guestβ€”the Night Witch!

For the haunting of the night witch and the habit of voyeurism, Mo Chen has long been used to it. And the most headache for him is that the other party never gives him a chance to communicate. So until now, he didn't even know the other party's name and name.

Along the way, Mo Chen always focused on the Night Witch, for fear that she would do something bad.

After all, it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe on the other side, and he doesn't want to make a mistake and become a thousand hatreds.

I don't know how long it took, but the car of several people finally came to the outside of the palace.

Princess Jade Mian took the lead and walked down, followed by Su Ahri and the others. And Mo Chen had to pay attention to the Night Witch's movements, so he finally got out of the car.

After several people got out of the car, they were stopped by the guards guarding in front of the imperial city.

A general with a grim face stepped forward, holding one hand faintly on the blade, and said in a deep voice: "If you come to attend the dinner in Shenghua Palace, please also show the invitation issued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself." ”

Princess Jade was not surprised by this, after all, if the palace was a place for people to come and go freely, it would be a joke. She smiled and unhurriedly took out the invitation. The bright and peerless smile attracted the attention of the surrounding guards, but although they were amazed, they did not show anything unusual.

The invitation is about the size of a palm, and the whole body is turquoise, like the best jade carefully carved. On the front of the invitation, there is a dragon transformed by white clouds, which is lifelike and wanders on the surface of the invitation, exuding a majestic momentum.

The guard general checked it, and his cold expression finally eased, and his right hand left the blade silently, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Princess Qingqiu, if there was any rudeness before, please forgive the princess." ”

The general said, glanced at the three people behind the jade-faced princess, and said with a look of embarrassment: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a rule that each guest can only bring two attendants, so. ”

Although the general did not finish speaking, the meaning of it was already unintentional. The jade-faced princess brought three people, which obviously did not meet the rules of this banquet.

Su Ahri frowned slightly when he heard this, and turned to look at Mo Chen, his eyes were cold and a little indifferent.

In her opinion, the only superfluous person on this trip is naturally Mo Chen.

After all, Princess Jade was the guest invited this time, and she herself was definitely not going to quit the dinner. As one of the important figures in the negotiations, the adjutant was not a necessary figure for this trip, but in Su Ahri's opinion, he was more valuable than Mo Chen.

Therefore, when the words of the guard general fell, she suddenly glared at Mo Chen with clear eyes, with an expression of 'don't you know what to do'.

Mo Chen felt Su Ahri's hostile gaze, although he wondered why the other party was so hostile to him. But what a character he is, how could he be afraid of the threat of a little fox girl?

As the saying goes, people respect me a foot, I respect people, in the face of the inexplicable provocation from Su Ahri, Mo Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and returned her with a bright smile, and then walked out without hurry. In Su Ahri's expression, which was still considered to be your acquaintance, Mo Chen casually took out an invitation and said, "I'm sorry, but I forgot about it." ”

The invitation is roughly the same as that of the jade-faced princess, except that the dragon attached to the surface is pale gold, which looks more imposing.

Seeing this, the general defending the city frowned, revealing a faint look of displeasure.

It's just that as a guard of the Tang Imperial City, although he is dissatisfied with Mo Chen's contempt in his heart, he is not good at acting too directly. He accepted Mo Chen's invitation with a little dissatisfaction, and when he saw the mark revealed on it, his eyes suddenly narrowed into a thin slit, which was full of horror and disbelief.

This is an invitation written by the Emperor himself!

But, what kind of person is he, there will be an invitation written by the emperor himself. Wasn't this banquet organized by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this person, this person actually got an invitation from the emperor.

The general's heart was shocked, and his right hand holding the invitation was trembling slightly.

He thought of his previous faux pas, and there was a fine layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and his hands trembled slightly to return the invitation respectfully, and said nervously: "I don't know if your guest is coming, if there is any rudeness, I hope that your guest Haihan." ”

The general said, turned to look at the guard beside him, glared at the other party angrily, and hurriedly ordered: "I didn't see that the distinguished guest has arrived, why don't you hurry up and prepare the best car to send the distinguished guest to Shenghua Palace." ”

The guard beside him had an innocent face, completely unaware of what he had done wrong. It's just that when he heard the latter words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and looked at Mo Chen in disbelief, which was full of curiosity, and a little nervous and excited.

The imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty covers an area of more than one million square kilometers and is completely a huge city within a city.

Although Shenghua Palace is located in the outer palace, it is also dozens of miles away from the gate of the imperial city. It is forbidden to fly in the palace, so naturally guests and courtiers cannot walk to the court. Therefore, all the guests who are invited to come will be driven by a special person.

Of course, the palace is such a noble place, it is a place where even eating and walking have to be respected.

Therefore, although there are cars that specialize in transporting guests to various places, there are also three, six, nine and so on. Ordinary officials can only use the lowest class of cars to go to court, and there are two red flame leopards pulling the car. Officials with a slightly higher rank can enjoy a higher level of driving, driven by a four-headed wind god deer.

And the highest-level car is driven by eight dragons that are already close to the dragon!

This kind of luxurious car, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not qualified to enjoy. Only the most distinguished guests can enjoy such treatment. In the tens of thousands of years of history of the Tang Dynasty, less than five people have enjoyed this treatment. And all of them have made indelible contributions to the Tang Dynasty, so they were rewarded with such a high standard of treatment by the emperor.

At this time, the general ordered to prepare the best car, and the guards immediately understood the meaning.

He was horrified by Mo Chen's identity, and he didn't dare to hesitate, so he hurriedly responded and hurriedly ran towards the city. At the same time, he felt a little more excited and happy in his heart, although he didn't know Mo Chen's specific identity, but this matter was enough for him to brag about it for a lifetime.

Lao Tzu has seen a person who rides a noble man in the Eight Dragons!

Princess Jade Mask and the others felt strange, but they didn't know what was going on. Only Su Ahri glared at Mo Chen fiercely, and he was a little angry.

This bastard must have deliberately provoked himself just now.
