Chapter 24: Misunderstanding
Princess Yulong's coming-of-age ceremony is destined to attract countless dignitaries, especially some "school-age youth", if you can get Yulong's favor, it will be unlimited in the future. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yulong, who has no plans in this regard at all, will not give others a chance casually, and is still thinking about this matter, and even considered not having a dance partner, but he didn't expect to find such an excellent candidate as Allen.
......
At this time, the Longxiao Palace was not at all like the deserted appearance on weekdays, and the 100-meter-long high platform steps were all covered with a red carpet, and the gold threads woven in the carpet emitted a little light under the illumination of rows of huge torches.
The huge bluestone floor, which was already very clean, had been wiped by the palace servants tirelessly for a day, and now it seemed that it could already reflect the human figure.
A group of warriors in brand-new armor stood quietly on both sides of the steps covered with red carpet, but the expressions on their faces at this time were not as serious as when they guarded Longxiao Palace on weekdays, after all, tonight was Princess Yulong's coming-of-age ceremony, there was no need to make the atmosphere too depressing, for this reason, these warriors also deliberately wrapped the spearhead of the spear with red cloth.
The importance that the Shenlong Empire attaches to Princess Yulong's coming-of-age ceremony tonight can be seen.
Just tonight, in order to come to participate in Princess Yulong's coming-of-age ceremony, many city lords and nobles who were guarding outside also rushed back to Dragon Blood City from other places, of course, most of the people who did so were men of school age in their families.
Although Emperor Yuheng had already issued an order that the nobles from other places did not have to rush back to Dragon Blood City to attend the dinner, these people would not let go of such an opportunity that might make the family soar, if there was any rebellion or invasion by foreign enemies at this time, the Shenlong Empire would probably face huge trouble.
However, in the minds of many people, this kind of worry is just groundless, there has been no war in the Holy Spirit Continent for many years, coupled with the existence of such a transcendent force as the Brilliant Holy Sect, any country that brazenly uses force will be punished by the Holy See, and I am afraid that no country dares to act on the surface.
Allen's heart was full of helplessness at this time, and he didn't know what was going on at that time, so he agreed, and before he could come up with any good way to push this matter away, he was directly brought to Longxiao Palace by Yulong.
Yulong had to make the final preparations for the dinner, so he directly left Alan alone in this room, although it was delicious and delicious, but it was indeed too boring to sit here, and Alan was not interested in appreciating a large number of famous masterpieces in this room, so he picked up the cup of tea on the table that was already slightly cold and drank it all, he decided to go out for a walk.
Pushing the door open, there was a servant standing guard at the door.
"My lord, do you need anything?"
"No, I'm just bored and want to hang out. ”
"My lord, the palace is still preparing, I'm afraid it will ......"
"It's inconvenient, isn't it?" Alan thought that the other party was afraid that he would go to a secret place in the Longxiao Palace and see something that he shouldn't see, and he was a little disappointed.
The servant hurriedly said, "No, no, I'm just afraid that someone will bump into you, my lord, so please do it." ”
The main hall of Longxiao Palace is composed of two floors, and the room where Alan is located is on the second floor, and the door is a long corridor around the entire building, and Alan slowly walks along the long corridor towards the stairs leading to the first floor of the main hall.
In addition to the many rooms on the second floor of the entire Longxiao Palace, there are also a large number of exquisite paintings hanging on the walls, which should also be painted by celebrities in the past dynasties At the same time, there are also many exquisite armor and weapons on the side of the corridor against the wall, which has a bit of a sense of both civil and military.
Walking to the hall on the first floor, Alan unexpectedly found that the throne that Lian Yuheng sat on when he met the courtiers on weekdays had disappeared, and the entire hall of Longxiao Palace had already been decorated.
The whole hall was lit up by thick candles, the long tables on either side were filled with all kinds of food and drink, and the huge space vacated in the center of the hall was clearly intended for the evening ball, and the precious Hiss carpet had been laid on the floor that should have been tiled.
This carpet has a great history, it is hand-woven from a selection of fine sheep wool mixed with gold and silver threads, which is soft but not easy to damage, and the raw materials used for carpet dyeing are all extracted from natural plants and minerals, and will not fade for hundreds of years after secret treatment.
Although it is also a carpet produced by the Hiss Empire, the king of the Hiss carpet under his feet is known to the world as the king of the Hiss carpet, which shows its preciousness.
The main hall is surrounded by countless flowers, bringing a burst of elegant fragrance to the main hall.
While many palace attendants hurried through the main hall to make final preparations for the upcoming dinner, Allen, dressed in a blue gown, leisurely admired the decorations throughout the hall, in stark contrast to the busy people around him.
"You ......"
Alan turned around and saw a handsome young man, he was definitely not a servant in the palace, but the simple blue cloth clothes made Alan a little confused.
"In the Lower Talos Empire, Baron Alan Lee, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?"
"Ah, it turns out that you are the Allen that my sister said, fortunately, in Xia Yuqi, Yulong's second brother. ”
It turns out that this is the second prince of the Shenlong Empire, and this Yuqi is also very famous in the Holy Spirit Continent, of course, not because of his identity, but because of his paintings.
In the eyes of many people, the second prince is indeed a very talented artist, self-taught, he is already a leading figure among the younger generation in the mainland, but because he has always loved painting, he has no interest in handling government affairs.
It is said that Emperor Yuheng once sent the second prince to govern a small city, but as a result, His Royal Highness the prince was deeply aware of the essence of "ruling by doing nothing", and painted in the mansion every day, which can really be said to be deaf to what was going on outside the window.
However, from the words of the prince just now, Allen felt that he might have misunderstood something.
"His Royal Highness ...... the Prince"
"Hey, don't be so angry, we will all be a family in the future, what are you doing so unfamiliarly. Yuqi patted Allen on the shoulder, with some blame.
In Yuqi's opinion, my sister, who has never been pretentious to men, suddenly brought back a boy before the coming-of-age ceremony, saying that he was a classmate, but the ghost would believe it, now he is a classmate, I'm afraid he will be a husband in a few years!
With such an idea, of course Yuqi would not regard Allen as an outsider, anyway, what Yulong decided would definitely not change, so Yuqi didn't think about things like his father's disagreement at all, and directly regarded Allen as his future brother-in-law.
This made Alan very embarrassed, and he wanted to explain, but Yuqi didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and pulled Alan to keep telling him about Yulong.
Fortunately, there is no rush to explain this matter, presumably Yulong himself will find a way to deal with this younger brother who wants to go wrong, so he simply listened to Yuqi talk about Yulong's troubles when he was a child.
