The main hall is magnificent, extravagant and golden, and as soon as you step in, a local tyrant's copper smell comes to your face.

The palace banquet has been prepared, and the palace people have placed the porcelain plates one by one in an orderly manner.

Changping arranged for Qinghe and the three of them to sit in the position closest to the door, which was not conspicuous and had an unobstructed view of the situation in the palace.

After everyone was seated, the originally cold palace suddenly became a little lively.

Mo Zhan is from the main seat, not angry and arrogant. Concubine Cheng sat aside, dignified and elegant.

After a few polite exchanges, the dinner began.

Qinghe's men's clothes are not very eye-catching, and as soon as he sat down, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to eat.

He solved the plate of food in front of him like a whirlwind, and then turned his gaze to another plate, not caring at all about the dumbfounding of the two people next to him.

Changping, who was originally sitting in front, left his seat, and secretly came to the vacant seat next to Qinghe and sat down.

She gently pulled a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "Qinghe, when the palace banquet is over, can you go out for a walk with me?"

Qinghe swallowed the last bite slowly, and said, "I'm afraid I can't tonight, I still have something to do." ”

Changping was disappointed: "Can't you change the day?"

Qinghe shook his head resolutely.

"Okay. Changping compromised, sat quietly on the side, and did not speak again.

Mo Zhan glanced around symbolically, and his gaze was fixed on Zhuge Hongming, who was sitting precariously below.

He picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "You have come from afar, you may be a little tired, this wine is the best Jade Dragon Pond, quench your thirst, you can taste it." ”

The lord of the kingdom toasted, how could there be no reason not to drink, and all the people present in the hall stood up together, raised their wine glasses, and drank them all.

Shen Xun is still a child after all, standing up is not as high as the table, and as soon as his hand touches the wine glass, he is slapped off by Qinghe's paws.

"You're young, drinking isn't for you. ”

Shen Xun raised his eyebrows, looked at her coldly, raised his wine glass and poured the wine into his mouth, and smashed his mouth and said that it tasted good, full of provocation.

The two of them fought without scruples, and Mo Junqian and Changping next to them seemed to be ignored and insignificant.

After a glass of wine, everyone began to chat, each chatting about their own business. Most of the people here are officials and their heirs, and their cultivation is uneven, some are high and some are low, probably because of their political careers.

The king of the South was among them.

King Nan was ruthless and uninhibited when he was young, but when he got old, he became kind and kind, and his facial features were soft and angular, and he could vaguely see the demeanor of his youth.

Many officials toasted him, and he responded one by one, and when no one was around, he pulled his son to Zhuge Hongming.

hugged his fists a little and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuge , I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same style!"

Zhuge Hongming got up and nodded slightly.

Nan Wang knew the dean's strange personality, and he didn't care, and continued: "The Apocalypse Academy is famous now, I don't know how many people are proud to enter the Apocalypse Academy, I don't know if my son is qualified enough?"

These words did not deliberately lower his voice, and the people around him were not surprised why the famous Nanwang wanted to go through the back door for his son, just because the apprenticeship standard of the Apocalypse Academy was really harsh.

Most of the reasons are naturally attributed to Zhuge Hongming, an eccentric person.

Zhuge Hongming is a rigid and conservative person, serious and indifferent, he has a straight face to everyone, and he speaks without mercy, but he is profound in creation and has a unique vision, and all those who have been trained by him can break through the bottleneck and make rapid progress in cultivation;

Even if he had heard of his temper, he still wanted to enter the Apocalypse Academy, after all, his strength was there.

The most important point is that the Apocalypse Academy has the backing of the royal family, and it is very rich, even if it is not the head of the five major factions, at least it is not bad in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Hearing this, Zhuge Hongming turned to the side of King Nan and looked at the immature Gongzi with a cold gaze.

Just this glance made his hair stand on end, and he showed his timidity in front of a group of masters, he was still young in the end.

Zhuge Hongming sat down by himself, drank a glass of wine, shook his head and said: "The foundation is not good, it is difficult to become a big tool." ”

The words were quite explicit, except for Zhuge Hongming, everyone else present had embarrassment on their faces, but Nanwang still had a kind smile and didn't seem to be affected at all.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Zhuge said yes, my disobedient son, every time he asks him to cultivate seriously, he just doesn't listen, he knows that he is causing trouble for me all day long, and I originally wanted you to discipline him well, alas!"

When the rest of the people heard this, they all opened their mouths to comfort him: "Don't worry, the child is still young, it's good to teach slowly......"

"yes, yes......"

Zhuge Hongming sat in place and drank silently, without saying a word, as if he was out of the matter.

The banquet drinking and tasting food was too monotonous, Mo Zhanli instructed the palace people to prepare a show, and after a while, several stunning dancing girls came to the center of the hall.

Drinking and having fun, singing and dancing, with the help of singing and dancing, the atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax.

Qinghe in front of the desk held a fan to hold the wine, and after a while, a pot of wine had reached the bottom, and he raised his hand to hold another pot, and suddenly two slender fingers were on her hand, and Qinghe frowned and looked at Mo Junqian.

Mo Junqian: "Don't drink it, if you drink it again, you'll get drunk, don't forget that you still have important things to do tonight." ”

Qinghe knocked off his hand and said coldly: "I have measure." ”

As soon as he picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass, Mo Junqian's voice came to his ears again: "It's okay if you drink and make a mistake, it's okay if you're drunk, but if you ruin your plan for tonight, it will be difficult to enter the palace in the future." ”

With a "snap", the wine jug was vigorously placed on the table, and Qinghe was already impatient and looked at him coldly.

Mo Junqian did not dodge, with stubbornness and temptation in his eyes. The two are at such a stalemate, and neither of them is willing to compromise.

"Little child" Shenxun was forced to be caught in the middle, looked left, looked again, and finally said: "If you continue to look like this, there is not much time." ”

Qinghe's eyes flickered, and he finally looked away.

Changping on the side looked inexplicable: "What's wrong with you two? And what are you going to do tonight?"

Qinghe made a unique change of face from his ancestors, and smiled at her: "It's nothing, it's just a private matter." ”

No matter how much Changping gossiped, there was no reason to inquire about other people's private affairs, so he could only give up.

Seeing Changping boredly counting the grapes on the plate, this time Qinghe took the initiative to say: "By the way, don't you want to go out for a walk? ”

Changping suddenly came to his senses, and said uncertainly: "Really, won't it delay your business?"

Qinghe smiled and touched her hair: "No, let's go." ”

Changping looked at Mo Junqian and Shen Xun again: "What about the two of them?"

Qinghe turned his head at an angle that Changping couldn't see, glanced at them, and said, "We'll wait here for you to come back." ”

Just as she wanted, Changping suddenly smiled, took Qinghe's hand and quietly slipped out of the palace.

The night is thick and the stars are full. Changping and Qinghe walked leisurely in the imperial city, Qinghe himself was a head taller than Changping, and he really looked like a couple at the back.

On the quiet path, there was no one except the guards on routine patrol, and the palace people were probably tired, and they were lazy in about any corner, and there were not a few crickets in the dark plants.

Changping suddenly asked, "Have you been to many places?"

Qinghe put a hand on his waist, pressed it without a trace, and said, "Hmm." ”

Changping was a little yearning: "Isn't the outside world beautiful and interesting?"

Qinghe: "It depends on how you define the word interesting, if you think it's funny, then it's funny." ”

Changping smiled: "This is the first time I've heard this statement." ”

Without waiting for Qinghe to answer, she said to herself: "Do you know, I have asked countless people this question, some say that the outside is beautiful, big, and there are many new things, and some say that the outside is very dangerous and may die at any time. But either way, I wanted to try it and see if what they said was true. ”

When she said this, Qinghe looked at her side face, and those beautiful eyes were still amazingly bright even in the dark.

"But you've never been out, have you?"

Changping nodded, his smile was a little bitter and helpless: "My father protected me too well, he was always afraid that I would be hurt, so I was not allowed to go anywhere, I didn't want him to be sad, so I have always been very obedient." ”

Qinghe thought about the wording, she was really not very good at this kind of literary topic.

"Actually, he doesn't have to be like this, you're already an adult, not a child. ”

"yes, I'm not a kid anymore. Changping sighed and said, "But I can't help it, in this cold and ruthless palace, he is my only relative." ”

Qinghe didn't know what to say, and fell silent for a while.

After a long time, Changping asked, "Will you leave the Apocalypse Kingdom?"

Qinghe: "We don't belong here, we have to leave sooner or later." ”

Changping said in frustration: "Yes, sooner or later, I have to leave." ”

Qinghe looked at her sad appearance, and was rarely moved by compassion, and said: "You want to go outside so much, why don't I take you there and let you see the outside world, what is the difference from what you imagined, okay?"

Chang Ping raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashing: "Really! Then we have made up our minds, don't lie to me!"

Qinghe nodded: "Of course, I don't lie to you. But how is your father going to explain it?"

Changping clapped his hands: "This is no problem, just leave it to me, with you, he will definitely agree." After speaking, he glanced at her affectionately and smiled shyly.

Qinghe coughed dryly, smiled awkwardly, and didn't speak.

Unconsciously walked in front of a palace, Changping looked around, and said in a panic: "How did you get here?

Qinghe was puzzled, and said inexplicably: "What's the matter?

Changping explained: "This place is a forbidden place in the palace, my father doesn't need anyone to enter, once he finds out, he will be beheaded!"

Qinghe swept past the palace, saying that it was a palace, but it was not true, because it was too small, and it was really insignificant compared to other towering palaces.

The surrounding flowers and plants grow luxuriantly, and they are cleaned up in an orderly manner, presumably there are special palace people who clean them on time every day, and such a safe and quiet place will not make people think of the word forbidden place.

Changping was still urging, Qinghe glanced at it for the last time, and at the moment of turning around, he suddenly stopped in place.

She subconsciously pressed her waist, where she was lying quietly, and the Dingfeng Zhu, who had not reacted these days, actually reacted.
