"Why are you here now?" Yao Yulin asked after seeing Lu Zhe who appeared at the door, walked out from behind a dining table, and came to Lu Zhe with a wine glass in his hand.

Lu Zhe said embarrassedly: I'm sorry, the palace is too big, and I was delayed on the road for a while.

At this time, Yao Meng and Xiao Ye also came over, although Yao Meng wanted to throw himself into Lu Zhe's arms, but because of the occasion, he finally held back. I saw her come to Lu Zhe, looked at Lu Zhe with her cute little head for a while, and suddenly said: You are still quite handsome in this dress.

Lu Zhe smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the praise of the third princess, the grass people are flattered."

"Hee-hee" Yaomeng grinned, and his teeth were neatly exposed.

"Dream, don't be rude," she whispered behind her.

After hearing her sister's scolding, Xiao Meng's little head instantly lowered, like a child who had made a mistake.

Lu Zhe looked at her pitiful appearance, smiled a little lovingly, stretched out his right hand and touched her little head, which was considered to comfort her.

"The emperor has arrived!" A loud voice echoed in the wide hall, filling the ears of everyone in the hall. The voice landed, and everyone present looked directly in front of the main hall, where there was a one-foot high platform, on which was placed a table and chair carved from fine wood, very grand and luxurious! A middle-aged man was slowly walking from the left side of the chair, and then sat on this unusual chair. As soon as the man sat down, everyone knelt down on one leg at him. Collectively said: Long live my emperor.

The man motioned to everyone, and said in a deep voice: Don't be polite, everyone, calm down.

"Long live you!" everyone stood up after receiving the order.

"Ah, I won't beat around the bush and get straight to the point, the reason for today's banquet must have been known to everyone, our country has produced an alchemy genius! He has performed well at the alchemy conference and won glory for our country! Today I want to entertain him well. Hey, by the way, what about the others? Are you here?" the emperor asked, sitting on the dragon chair, looking around.

"It's coming. Here it is. Father," Yao Yulin replied. Then he turned his head and explained to Lu Zhe: Go quickly, my father called you.

Lu Zhe didn't dare to slack off, three steps and two steps, and came to three feet in front of the stage in a few clicks. Get down on one knee. Said respectfully: Buyi Lu Zhe knocked to see the emperor. Long live my emperor, long live, long live.

The majestic voice of the "flat body" emperor came into Lu Zhe's ears.

"Long live Xie," Lu Zhe got up and looked up.

Although Lu Zhe had never met the emperor of the Oga Empire before, when he was working on the docks, he heard the adults say in the after-dinner chatter that the current emperor of their country was called Yao Dingguo. It means to set the country and secure the country. It is rumored that he is a virtuous corporal, Chengmen Lixue, wise and foolish, with clear rewards and punishments, and he can support the boat in his belly, so he is a wise and virtuous gentleman. Under his leadership, the people of the Oga Empire lived and prospered in peace and contentment. Today, when I saw it, it was unexpected, which dispelled the worries and nervousness in Lu Zhe's heart.

Yao Dingguo looked at Lu Zhe for a moment, his face showed a happy look, and praised: Not bad, yes, a talent still knows how to be polite, it's rare. Seeing that Lu Zheqi was extraordinary, he thought that this kid would become a great man in the future, and his future was immeasurable, and maybe he could become a pillar of the country. If you can include it under your command, it will be the icing on the cake. When he thought that his son would have such an auxiliary minister by his side in the future, the Legalist family, Yao Dingguo's heart suddenly blossomed. But then Yao Dingguo remembered one thing, this kid seemed to have some grudges with the eldest lady of the Shangguan family. Thinking of this, Yao Dingguo suddenly secretly screamed that it was not good, and he seemed to have included the Shangguan family in it when he invited people today.

Lu Zhe probably never dreamed that even the emperor knew about the bet he made with Shangguan Yijing.

"Lu Zhe, I have heard about what you did at the Alchemist Conference, you have won glory for our country, and I have decided to reward you well, do you have anything you want?"

After everyone present heard Yao Dingguo's words, everyone except Lu Zhe was very calm, but Lu Zhe was surprised, he didn't expect that his two moments at the alchemist conference would bring him such a big benefit. In fact, Lu Zhe didn't know that the royal family of the Oga Empire had always had the custom of rewarding those who won glory for the country or made great contributions, and there were some such people among the people present. However, Lu Zhe asked himself, he really didn't want any reward from the emperor, and he was still ambiguous if he didn't live in this country in the future.

Lu Zhe's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: The grass people dare not accept the emperor's reward, and they deserve it.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" asked Yao Dingguo, puzzled.

"Qi Qi Sheng, the grass people just participated in a small competition, and they haven't won the final championship, it's really ashamed to receive such a big reward, if the emperor insists on rewarding the grass people, you might as well wait for the grass people to win the championship and then reward it" Lu Zhe's words can be described as appropriate, not only domineering, even if he found a step down for the emperor, but also shirked these unnecessary rewards, it was really wonderful.

Yao Dingguo heard the meaning of Lu Zhe's words, and nodded after pondering for a moment: Since this is the case, let's wait until you win the Toad Palace.

"Thank you," Lu Zhe arched.

"Come, Zhong Aiqing, let's raise a glass and drink together, and wish Lu Zhe Xiaoyou all the way to overcome obstacles and the title of the gold list!"

"Cheers!, I wish you three yuan" The sound of pushing the cup and changing the lamp and blessings sounded in the hall, endlessly.

Lu Zhe lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly the corners of his mouth rose upward, as if he was quite helpless, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to express his inner thoughts at the moment with a wry smile - there was a feeling of being targeted by everyone.

At this moment, the hall was full of laughter, but there was one person who had a calculation in his heart, and he was Shangguan Yijing's grandfather - Shangguan He. Shangguan He came as the current head of the Shangguan family, one of the four major families of the Oga Empire. However, he didn't know the purpose of the emperor's banquet to entertain the heads of the major families before he came, and he didn't know until before the banquet. He had always wanted to meet the boy who had made a bet with his precious granddaughter. He wanted to see what kind of arrogant bet this kid dared to make such an arrogant bet with his granddaughter. Today finally fulfilled his wish. However, when he knew that the main reason why the emperor invited him to the banquet was because he won the right to the finals of the Alchemist Conference at a young age, he was still surprised, it seemed that he had indeed underestimated this hairy boy.

He was not too far away from Lu Zhe, and he carefully observed Lu Zhe standing in the center of the hall through a few people. After a while, he stroked his beard, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in his heart: Well, yes, calm and unhurried, not arrogant or impatient. Cool as a cucumber. He talks decently and is a talent, it would be great if he could become a disciple of my Shangguan family. Thinking of this, he suddenly looked forward to the hairy boy in front of him and his baby granddaughter fighting early.

Lu Zhe gave a salute to the country of Yaoding. Retreated. Come to Ya Xuan's side. After Ya Yan saw him, she used the excuse to leave the children of high-ranking officials and nobles who fell in love with her beauty and accosted her. Picked up a wine glass from the dining table next to him and handed it to him, and said with concern: It's hard work.

Lu Zhe took the wine glass and drank it all, and said: Yes. It really made me break out in a cold sweat. Lu Zhe's words are indeed reasonable, and when he speaks to the emperor, every sentence has to be carefully considered, for fear that if he says something wrong, the emperor will be furious, and he may not be able to eat and walk away.

After a few words of greeting and entertaining with the heads and ministers of the high-ranking officials and nobles, he left because of something. When the emperor left, everyone was more open, and people surrounded Lu Zhe in twos and threes, and chatted with Lu Zhe sentence after sentence.

"Oh, the young man is good, he is a talent, and he can get the right to the finals of the Alchemist Conference at a young age, he really has the demeanor of Huang Bo, the medicine king of the year," a middle-aged man praised.

"Yes, yes, it will be a great thing in the future" echoed the next word.

"You have won the award, I am just a fledgling boy, I am a shallow learner, a craftsman has abandoned materials, and there are many things to ask you to advise" Lu Zhe said politely, anyway, these words don't need money and no taxes.

"Where, where, you can achieve such good results at such a young age, I am really ashamed," a young man took over and said.

"Don't dare to be ashamed, don't dare to be ashamed," Lu Zhe hurriedly said.

"Little guy, I see that you are a talent, Yushu is in the wind, do you have someone in mind? If not, I'll tell you one," a slightly older man suddenly said.

Lu Zhe blushed and said with a wry smile: Then thank you very much.

"Hahaha" everyone laughed, making Lu Zhe feel at a loss.

Lu Zhe scratched his head with a smile, and casually found an excuse to run out. When I turned around, I found that Ya Yan was surrounded by four or five gentlemen and wanted to kiss Fang Ze. Lu Zhe felt displeased, and just wanted to step forward to relieve Ya Xuan, but suddenly his body was stunned, it was not that he wanted to stop, but someone grabbed her, and when he looked back, he found that it was night.

"Princess, what are you doing here?" Lu Zhe asked with a frown.

Xiao Ye looked in front of Lu Zhe and found that Ya Yan was entangled by the sons of those dignitaries, and Lu Zhe planned to solve the siege. As soon as she thought of this, a small sense of loss and jealousy suddenly welled up in Xiao Ye's heart, she thought about it and said: Are you going to help Miss Ya Xia out of the siege?

Lu Zhe replied without thinking: That's right.

Xiao Ye smiled slightly, and said: Don't worry, Miss Ya will be fine, this is the Royal Hall, they don't dare to do anything like a prodigal son.

Lu Zhe thought about it and hesitated: But......

"They probably look at Miss Ya and want to make friends with her, don't worry about it. And they're our royal guests, and if you do anything here that disgraces them, it will make our royal faces unbearable," went on with Nightfall.

After hearing Xiao Ye's explanation, Lu Zhe thought in his heart that what she said was also reasonable, and he couldn't let his willfulness make this banquet unpleasant. And if you offend them, you probably won't have a good time in the future. Lu Zhe thought about it for a while and decided that it would be better to listen to Xiao Ye's advice. However, although Lu Zhe thought so, in order to prevent the four or five of them from harassing Ya Yan and taking the opportunity to rub oil, Lu Zhe decided to secretly monitor not far from them.

Lu Zhe picked up a fried chicken leg from the dining table and ate it, the rice cooked by the royal chef was really delicious, full of color, flavor and flavor, this chicken leg was fried yellow and crispy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious and juicy. This is the first time Lu Zhe has eaten such a delicious meal. After eating, Lu Zhe picked up the wine glass and drank all the elixir and jade dew inside.

One, two, three, Lu Zhe ate more than half of the chicken legs on the table after a while, and the chicken bones could be set up on a shelf. Except for fried chicken thighs, most of the delicacies on the table were almost eaten by Lu Zhefeng. There are not many opportunities like this, so Lu Zhe plans to have a beautiful meal.

Looking at him feasting behind Lu Zhe at night, he felt both funny and helpless, so he had to let him go.

The whole banquet was carried out in a cheerful atmosphere, not long after Lu Zhe was full of wine and food, suddenly there was a sound of opening the door, and everyone present turned their heads to look at the gate, only to see a young man wearing a light blue fast suit with two knives at his waist and a black cloak in the infrared appeared at the gate.

Lu Zhe observed the young man who had just appeared while biting into the beef, and saw that this man was extraordinary, probably in his twenties. He is very tall, with a Chinese face, a flat head, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the outline of his facial features is very marked and deep.

The man looked around, and finally landed on Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe didn't pay attention to his gaze at first, he was still eating and drinking, and just as he was about to drink his wine glass, the man came to him and shot two eyes at him.

Lu Zhe felt his gaze, put down the wine glass, and asked suspiciously: Something?

The man glared at Lu Zhe and said in a rough voice: Get out.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhe was suddenly a little unhappy, but seeing that this young man was angry and bullfighting, if he competed with him, I was afraid that the fight would end in the end. Lu Zhe didn't want to cause trouble, so he planned to put up with it, after all, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky.

Lu Zhe took a step back and got out of the way. The young man muttered a sentence in his mouth in the past, he thought that Lu Zhe couldn't hear it, but he didn't expect Lu Zhe to hear it at the tip of his ear, what he said was: Count you as acquaintances!

Lu Zhe snorted coldly, thinking that he didn't remember villains as adults, and he didn't have the same knowledge as you.

The young man walked past Lu Zhe and came to the side of the young night. At the sight of the night, the man's face changed a little, and a smile appeared. I only heard him say: Do you miss me?

"Oh, they know each other?" Lu Zhe sighed in his heart after hearing the young man's words, and muttered to himself a little unexpectedly.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Ye obviously didn't want to see this man, and his tone regained his previous cold arrogance and nobility. (To be continued......)
