Chu, the imperial capital.

Due to the state banquet, the population of the imperial capital has been fully loaded, and the wide streets that can accommodate sixteen carriages walking side by side are now crowded with pedestrians, let alone carriages, and even walking is difficult, one by one passing shoulders and touching hands, and sometimes screams are heard.

The same is true of the shops on both sides, they are crowded, and the customers who go in will take whatever they see, and they don't care if they don't use it; the shopkeepers don't mind, they just quietly watch the customers take all the things, anyway, these will be paid by King Chu Heng at that time.

The imperial capital was divided into two cities, the outer city, which was mostly inhabited by ordinary people, while the inner city was inhabited by cultivators or dignitaries.

Starting from the inner city gate, in three rows, a wide long street is full of banquets, on which there are exquisite delicacies, extending to the palace of the Chu State.

This is called the Fenghua Banquet, which means that Da Chu is in his prime, like a handsome woman under the leadership of King Chu Heng.

There are a total of 9,999 tables in the Fenghua banquet, which also implies the supreme status of King Chu Heng's 99 supreme.

These feasts are prepared for those dignitaries and famous people from all over the world to enjoy; when you go to the inner city, you will arrive at the palace of Chu State, and there is also a table of banquets in the palace.

Walking inside, you will arrive at the King's Terrace, which is the final place where the state banquet is held, and King Chu Heng is here to entertain the big people of various countries.

On the throne of the king, a table carved with a five-clawed golden dragon is placed on it, and on the right side of the table, there is also a table, but the pattern carved on it is not a five-clawed golden dragon, but a phoenix.

If you look at it aesthetically, it is a bit abrupt to put a single one.

On both sides of the throne, tables are arranged in a symmetrical arrangement until the end.

Except for the first few cases, the rest are already full.

Among these people, there is the existence of Chu Liuxiang, the fourth prince, and Chu Huaixiang, the thirteenth prince.

Chu Liuxiang, the fourth prince, looked around for a while, and said meaningfully: "This year's state banquet seems to be missing a lot of people!"

Chu Huaixiang glanced at it and said, "It's okay, everyone who wants to come is here, and it's useless to force it if you don't want to come." ”

Chu Liuxiang smiled, and before he could speak, the gorgeously dressed man on the other side interjected: "Fourth Emperor Brother, I heard that the reason why there are many big names in previous years at this state banquet is because there is a magical bookstore in Watanabe Town and what kind of competition is held?"

"Brother Nine Emperors, it's a Pokemon Tournament. Chu Liuxiang corrected.

When the Nine Emperor Princes heard this, they suddenly said: "Yes, it's that Pokemon Tournament, I heard someone say it last time, and it is said that this time the Wuji Spirit Emperor was also absent from this year's state banquet because of this incident." ”

"How can Brother Nine Emperor talk nonsense, Emperor Wuji Ling, as the mayor of Watanabian Town, is a great official of the border seal, and now that the Qin State is about to move, and the situation in the Yan Kingdom is turbulent, it is too inappropriate to let the Wuji Spirit Emperor come to the state banquet at this time. Chu Huaixiang said.

He is not biased in favor of Zhou Wuji, and says good things for Zhou Wuji, the main facts are here, a figure like Zhou Wuji who guards the border is heavy, in this case, he must not leave his post without permission.

The Nine Emperor Brothers pursed their lips, looked at Chu Huaixiang, and teased: "Why is the Thirteenth Brother still obsessed with Miss Zhou?"

Chu Huaixiang frowned and looked at the Nine Emperor Princes unhappily.

Ten years ago, in order to envelop Zhou Wuji, King Chu Heng wanted to marry Zhou Wuji, and Chu Huaixiang, who was the youngest of the princes, naturally became the best choice; Zhou Wuji did not object at that time, but he did not agree, such an attitude naturally made King Chu Heng feel that Zhou Wuji had agreed to this family business, so he agreed with Zhou Wuji to wait until the daughter of the Zhou family came of age, and let the thirteen princes marry her.

Later, Zhou Zhuya fell ill unexpectedly, and he was going to die, and he couldn't even do anything about the holy peony; in this case, until Zhou Zhuya was close to twenty years old, King Chu Heng did not mention this family business, so that everyone thought that King Chu Heng knew that Zhou Zhuya would not live long, so he wanted to abandon this family business.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhuya's illness was cured, so the marriage ten years ago suddenly spread during this time, and some people even thought that at this state banquet, King Chu Heng would definitely bring up the old matter again and marry Zhou Wuji.

Because Zhou Wuji's potential is too great, he is in the realm of the Spirit Emperor at a young age, and his future achievements will not be lower than Chu Sheng's, if he can marry Zhou Wuji, then the national fortune of Chu can be maintained for at least three thousand years.

But at this critical moment, Zhou Wuji was absent from this state banquet, which was of great significance, and everyone felt that Zhou Wuji wanted to reject King Chu Heng in this way.

Although things are all guessed by everyone at the moment, in these high-level bigwigs, sometimes a single action and a look are enough to make them think of countless possibilities.

Therefore, Chu Huaixiang was embarrassed, and was basically identified as the abandoned party, and this matter was occasionally taken out to disgust Chu Huaixiang.

Like now.

"My affairs, don't care about the Nine Emperor Brothers, the Nine Emperor Brothers should care more about themselves, I heard that the freshmen of the Vast Academy selected the Nine Emperor Brothers, it's a pity. Chu Huaixiang couldn't help but mock.

"You!" The Nine Emperors' face was warm and angry, and he was about to scold Chu Huaixiang.

Chu Liuxiang, the fourth prince, waved his hand and said: "Okay, what are you two arguing about, today is a state banquet, there are many foreign guests, we represent the image of the entire Chu country, pay attention to your words and deeds." ”

"Hmph!" The Nine Emperors and Chu Huaixiang snorted coldly, turned their heads to the side, and ignored each other.

"By the way, Brother Four Emperors, the Magical Bookstore openly held an event during the state banquet, does the Emperor know about this matter?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled slightly and said, "Naturally, I know." ”

"What is the Father Emperor going to do?" the Nine Emperor Princes asked curiously.

Chu Huaixiang on the side also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Although they are all princes, the one who can often see King Chu Heng, except for the eldest prince, is the fourth prince Chu Liuxiang.

In the hearts of today's Chu people, the future king is basically decided from the two of them.

Chu Liuxiang glanced at the throne, which was still empty, and said in a meaningful tone, "Didn't you notice that there was only one table on both sides of the throne this year?"

When the two of them heard this, they looked up at the King's Terrace one after another, and found that there was indeed only one phoenix table behind the throne.

And in previous years, on the other side, there should have been another one.

"Chu Sheng has gone to Watanabe Town!"
