Chapter 0203: The Royal Dinner
I saw that at some point, on the mahogany chair in the center of the room, there was a woman sitting, still as usual, with her left leg stacked on her right leg, showing some indifference and some laziness.
Although it was a sitting position, anyone could tell that this was a tall woman with a pair of long legs.
When Chu Xiao saw her, his nervousness immediately dissipated, and he said in surprise: "Night Blade!"
Nightblade curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and put on a smile that was the least smiling in history, which was considered a response.
"Has your spirit recovered?" Chu Xiao asked.
When the Cao family and the Fang family attacked Western Chu City, Chu Xiao successfully controlled the powerful Western Chu army soul with the help of the powerful spiritual power of the night blade, and at the same time, she was not counterattacked by the spirit of the 100,000 army, but afterwards it caused damage to the soul of the night blade, making her mental strength extremely weak, so she went to retreat.
Therefore, not only did he help Chu Xiao a lot at that time, but also took on the harm for Chu Xiao again.
"Hmm. By the way, I also recovered a little bit of repair. Nightblade said.
Only then did Chu Xiao discover a terrible fact, he was already the second level of the Tianguan Realm, but now that he looked at the Night Blade again, he found that she was even more unfathomable.
Moreover, his father, Chu Shichang, who is also a cultivator in the Innocent Realm, lives next door. For a powerhouse like the Innocent Realm, through qi machine induction, separated by one wall or several walls, it is almost the same as nothing.
Now that Nightblade has appeared here unconsciously, his father has not reacted at all, which shows that Nightblade's methods are more sophisticated.
"Your cultivation has been restored...... Have you recovered a little bit again?"Chu Xiao originally wanted to ask, could it be that your cultivation has recovered, but when she thought that she was shocked last time, the other party said that she had only recovered a little, and just now she herself said that she had recovered "a little bit of cultivation", so she asked more "conservatively".
"Is it your human innocence? Nightblade raised his hand and looked at his wrist, as if he was not very satisfied with the "this" cultivation of the recovery, "This speed is too slow, this time you go to the four courtyards, you must help me collect antidote medicinal materials." ”
Hearing this, Chu Xiao secretly smiled bitterly: This is still too slow, but she originally fell from an extremely high realm, and the perspective is different from what I saw.
"Alright, you go to the floor and rest. I just arrived here from West Chu City and need to rest for the night. Nightblade said, standing up and walking over to the bed.
"What do you want to do?" Chu Xiao was taken aback, this is the rhythm of the dove occupying the magpie's nest.
But he still stood up consciously and gave up the bed.
"This house has a lot of rooms, why don't you find another one yourself?" Chu Xiao said dissatisfied.
"You guard the door for me, I don't want anyone to disturb me. ”
"By the way, I just bought a beast soul bag, why don't you go inside and rest, and no one will disturb you?" Chu Xiao's eyes lit up, and he took this opportunity to say it cautiously.
Since the last time he entered the selection secret realm, there was no beast soul bag, Chu Xiao felt quite inconvenient, and finally made up his mind to buy a beast soul bag, but secretly guessed that the night blade might be disgusted, and now that she was in the Pure Realm, he had no means to force her.
Now take this opportunity to see how well Nightblade is receptive.
However, there were only two words that responded to him without hesitation:
"Fuck off. ”
......
The next evening, the lights came on.
In the palace, many palace maids and eunuchs are busy in an orderly manner.
A grand palace dinner will be held in the Yuyu Palace in the palace.
Yuyu Palace is taken from the meaning of Qionglou Yuyu, and its decoration is grand and luxurious, and it is the first choice for the banquet of the Great Xia royal family.
This royal dinner, according to the emperor, was held to see off Chu Xiao, who was about to enter the four courtyards.
The reason why Chu Xiao was so solemn was also because Chu Xiao cured his stubborn illness.
It is regarded as the emperor's gratitude.
Therefore, this royal dinner contains two layers of meaning.
Chu Xiao, as the protagonist of the dinner, naturally couldn't help but go, it is said that there are gifts to receive, and if you don't take them for nothing, you won't take them.
Yuyu Palace, in the main hall, the dragon chair and dragon table placed directly above. Naturally, it was for the emperor and empress.
Below the main hall, there are already neat rows of banquets. The exquisite dishes were served one by one early. The table is full.
Among them, the left and right corners of the main hall are reserved for the performers. On the right is a group of palace maids, dancing tirelessly there.
On the left is the maid in charge of the performance, playing soft and beautiful music, adding a lot of joy to the banquet.
These performances have not been interrupted all night, and when one group is tired, they will immediately change to another group, and the content of the performance is not the same.
This is the specification of the palace's top banquets.
After a while, the royal family, the three princes and the nine secretaries, and hundreds of civil and military officials arrived one after another.
"Taiwei Zhang is here, send three strains of three-grade elixir!"
"Master Liu, the imperial historian, has arrived, and he will send two third-grade yuan soldiers!"
"The servant king has arrived, and he will give him a sweat and blood dragon horse!"
"The official Shangshu Gao arrived and sent 100,000 yuan crystal coins. ”
"Lord Shangshu He of the Ministry of War has arrived and sent 100,000 yuan crystal coins. ”
With the salute of the protocol officer, it represents the arrival of the important ministers of the Great Xia with gifts.
The reason why everyone who came was sent was because the emperor took the lead and set the tone first, saying that this banquet was to send Chu Xiao to enter the four courtyards tomorrow to cultivate, and at the same time, he would first reward him with generous gifts.
The hundreds of officials below are all clever people, so they naturally understand that they can't come empty-handed to let them come to the banquet, they have to follow their share, and it won't cost much anyway.
Suddenly, the entire lively banquet was consciously lowered by several degrees.
Chu Xiao looked at the door, his brows furrowed, even these people came!
The concierge continued to sing: "The prince of Zhennan has arrived, and he will give a seven-grade elixir phantom sea cucumber."
Zhou Guogong arrived and sent a six-grade Yuan soldier and a pure Yuan sword.
General He arrived and sent a scroll of six inscriptions, a scroll of solid armor.
Prime Minister Wu Cheng arrived and gave him a six-grade talisman treasure light talisman. ”
Shengjing's three giant families, plus the fourth quasi-giant family of the samurai family, all arrived, and the gifts they brought turned out to be the one that was valuable and priceless.
Everyone was secretly talking, didn't they say that these families didn't deal with the Chu family? Why did they all come today with generous gifts.
Do you want to reconcile with the Chu family?
The Zhou family and the He family are okay, how can the mortal enmity between the Fang family and the Wu family be resolved?
Chu Xiao watched coldly, there must be a demon when something goes wrong in the secret way! But he also has a big heart, no matter what kind of heart you have, these gifts will be accepted by the son of this world!
Anyway, martial arts cultivation, the higher the realm, the greater the cost, these things, naturally the more the merrier.
Soon, the royal family members of Great Xia, the three princes and nine secretaries, civil and military officials, and celebrities all arrived.
"The music is stopped, and Your Majesty is invited to speak. With the sound of Hai Gonggong, the music, and the performing arts all stopped, and the people also quieted down.
"I am deeply troubled by stubborn diseases, but fortunately, Chu Xiao, the son of Western Chu, has single-handedly ascended to the peak of alchemy, and I have been cured of my stubborn illness! Moreover, tomorrow the envoy of the four courtyards will arrive in Shengjing, and Chu Xiao will also go to the four courtyards to continue his studies. Come, let's wish Chu Xiao, the prince of Western Chu, and the prosperity of martial arts!" said the Great Xia Emperor and raised his glass.
"I wish the prince of Western Chu a prosperous martial arts!"
"I wish the prince of Western Chu a prosperous martial arts!"
......
Everyone raised their glasses and congratulated in unison.
......
The wine is half-full, and the dinner is more than halfway, the atmosphere is even hotter, and the whole banquet is filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
"There's a guest with the gift!" Suddenly, people had forgotten about the role of the concierge, but he regained a wave of presence at a seemingly impossible time.
Everyone was stunned, who was the secret road, the banquet was almost halfway through, and they came to give gifts?
And it's also a gift, which means that people in the future, just sent gifts.
"Fang Lang, the attendant of the salute, is in prison and will be given an ordinary photographic artifact!" the protocol officer dutifully continued to sing loudly.
However, everyone fell silent......
Fang Lang?
It turned out to be the Fang Lang who was thrown into prison because he wanted to frame Chu Xiao!
