Chapter 247: Attending the Emperor's Birthday Banquet
Wu Tian and the descendants of the Eight Princes came to the Eight Princes' mansion outside the palace, and the Eight Princes were preparing to enter the palace to participate in the emperor's birthday at the door of the mansion.
Seeing Wu Tianhou, the Eighth Prince immediately laughed and said, "Wu Gongzi, thank you for participating in my father's 80th birthday with this king." ”
"Your Highness is so gracious, and it is my honor to be invited by His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince. Wu Tian responded with a smile.
The Eighth Prince shook his head, and said with a smile: "Maybe others will feel honored, in the eyes of Wu Gongzi, it should be regarded as a troublesome matter, so this king is grateful to Wu Gongzi for his face, which others can't invite." ”
Of course, Wu Tian understood that this was the polite words of the Eighth Prince, but to be honest, the Eighth Princes did know how to behave, and when other princes were vying for power, only the Eighth Princes were said by others to be leisurely. But in Wu Tian's opinion, the Eighth Prince, as a member of the royal family, definitely has the intention of seizing power, and once he seizes power, he must be extremely powerful.
Wu Tian is destined not to be a person who likes to cling to others, so he will not bother with the Eighth Prince, so he and the Eighth Prince are just nodding friends.
"Okay, it's not too early, Wu Gongzi, it's time to go to the palace. ”
Afterwards, Wu Tian accompanied the Eighth Prince to the palace.
Wu Tian has always seen the palace from afar, and has never really had close contact with the palace, but today he came to the palace with the Eighth Prince, and the magnificent momentum suddenly shocked Wu Tian.
The golden wall tens of meters high enclosed the entire palace inside, and people looked extremely small standing in front of the huge steel gate, and the steel gate was made of a lock spirit stone that suppressed true qi, just to prevent the attack of martial artists with advanced cultivation. Inside the tall walls, there stands a large palace resplendent with gold.
It is extremely difficult to enter this palace, and it is extremely difficult to get out of it, this palace is a besieged city, and countless people want to squeeze in, but those who enter want to get out of it.
Because today is the 80th birthday banquet of the Emperor of the Wild Martial Empire, the guards around the palace are extremely tight, almost all the Praetorian Guards are checked layer by layer, and there are also secret guards hidden in the shadows, all of them are masters among the masters, even if they are cultivated to a high level, they will not easily break through these guards.
"His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince has arrived, immediately the palace gate!" the guard saw that the Eighth Emperor had verified the token, and then opened the magnificent gate, and then entered the palace.
After entering the palace, the buildings inside were equally shocked, and the equally shocking was that there were heavily armed guards everywhere, which was simply a guard in ten steps.
There were many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace who were in a hurry, and officials of all sizes were also preparing to pay tribute to the emperor.
"Wu Gongzi, we are now on the periphery of the palace, please don't move around at will when we enter the inner hall, in case something happens, you will be mistaken for an assassin, even if you are the king, it will be difficult to deal with, please forgive Wu Gongzi." The Eighth Prince reminded next to Wu Tian.
"Well, I'm not going to run around later. Wu Tian nodded, but didn't actually care.
"Then let's go into the inner sanctum. ”
The palace was ridiculously large, except that the outer palaces had to walk for about half an hour to reach the edge of the inner sanctum, and after crossing a huge arch, they officially reached the inner sanctum.
The emperor's birthday was set up in the courtyard of the inner hall, where thousands of large round tables were set up for people to sit at the emperor's banquet, and all the ministers and members of the imperial family who could participate in the emperor's banquet were all ministers and members of the imperial family.
"I'll go, it's really a luxury, those large banquets in my previous life were simply scumbags compared to the emperor's banquets. Looking at the grand scene, Wu Tian thought silently in his heart.
After coming to the inner hall compound, the eighth prince took Wu Tian to his own position, and each prince would have their own territory.
"Wu Gongzi, the banquet is about to start, you can sit here for a while, you can enjoy the wine and pastries of our royal family first, this king has to go to socialize, I hope Wu Gongzi understands." ”
"Yes, no problem. ”
Subsequently, the Eighth Prince went to deal with his own affairs, as a prince, he must have his communication, and Wu Tian sat in the position of the Eighth Prince.
Wu Tian didn't know any of the people at the banquet, so he could only take a glass of wine from the table and drink it.
"Phew...... Is this wine? It's so unpleasant, and the wine of the royal family is nothing more than that, it seems that the winemaking process of this world is not up to par!" Wu Tian took a sip and immediately felt that it was not as delicious as he imagined.
The wine was not good, so Wu Tian tasted the pastry, in fact, it was just like that. In the end, Wu Tian could only eat those fresh fruits, but the fruits of this world were very delicious, and Wu Tian was very happy to eat them.
At this time, several beautiful shadows walked past Wu Tian, and when they saw Wu Tianhou, they suddenly stopped.
"Brother Tian, you're here too!" a familiar voice reached Wu Tian's ears.
Wu Tian suddenly looked over, and at a glance saw Tong Yixin greeting him, Wu Tian immediately stood up with a smile and said hello: "It turns out that Xinxin, Yibing and Sister Yue also came to the banquet, what a coincidence, haha!"
"Yes, we at the Seven Star Academy sent a congratulatory gift to Your Majesty, and then we followed. Brother Tian also presented a gift to His Majesty on behalf of Qi Tianzong?" Tong Yixin said happily.
"No, I was just invited by His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince to come and participate, and to tell you the truth, it's actually quite boring. Wu Tian leaned over to Tong Yixin and whispered, you can't just say this, it will be very troublesome for others to hear it.
"Wu Tian, you are too bold, you dare to say that the royal banquet is boring, are you afraid of living a long life?" Guo Yuemen next to him sneered.
"It's you again, why are you here?" Wu Tian asked in surprise as he looked at this scathing-speaking guy.
"You can come, why can't I come?" Guo Yuemen pouted.
"Xiaotian, why don't you join us and have a talking partner. Yue Shishi disrupted the two who were arguing and smiled at Wu Tian.
"Well, it's okay to sit here alone anyway. Of course, Wu Tian was willing to break away from his position.
"Brother Tian, do you know, this is my first time in the palace, the palace is really big, I think if I go alone, I will definitely get lost. Tong Yixin said happily to Wu Tian.
"You little road idiot, you won't go. Wu Tian scratched the tip of Xinxin's nose and said.
"Just talk, don't move your hands and feet!" Guo Yuemen immediately warned when he saw Wu Tian making such an intimate gesture to Xinxin.
"Are you itching your mouth when you don't speak? Please, be quiet for a while, okay?"
"You ......"
When Wu Tian and Guo Yuemen talked back to each other, Wu Tian had already left the position of the Eighth Prince's territory with Yue Shishi, and he had already thrown the Eighth Prince's reminder out of the sky.
