Chapter 663
The sun has just risen.
The streets of the inner city are already crowded with people.
The Qin family carriage stopped and started, and finally arrived at the palace gate.
However, there was already a long queue at the palace gate.
Because today's banquet is of great significance, and there are princes and envoys from various countries to attend, and the nobles and five major sects of Da Yan have also sent people to attend, so from the princes to the common people, they have to line up at the palace gate and accept inspection before entering.
It is worth mentioning that some long-lived elderly people over 90 years old were also invited to today's banquet.
When queuing, you naturally have to get off the carriage.
Butler Zhou cannot go in, so after everyone from the Qin family got off the carriage, he drove the carriage away.
Several people were queuing, and suddenly a crisp voice came from behind: "Sister Xueyi! Luo Qingzhou!"
Several people looked back and saw a girl in a red dress running over with excitement on her face. It turned out to be Nangong Xiaorui from Prince Duan's Mansion.
Nangong Xueyi was surprised and said, "Xiaorui, didn't you play football in the palace yesterday? Didn't you say you stayed in the palace last night?"
Nangong Xiaorui snorted, "The palace is not fun at all. It's not as fun as my home."
Luo Qingzhou also hurriedly greeted her, and then whispered to Qin Wenzheng and Song Ruyue, "This is Princess Xiaorui of Prince Duan's Mansion. The Xuantian Jade Girl Tree Morning Dew that the second lady needs is from her."
Qin Wenzheng and Song Ruyue also hurriedly greeted her attentively after hearing this, after all, they would need this little princess in the future.
Nangong Xiaorui pouted and said unhappily, "Luo Qingzhou, you bad guy, you always mess with people and then abandon them!"
Everyone was shocked when this was said.
At this time, Prince Duan Nangong Ke immediately came from behind with several sons. He seemed to have heard what he had just said, and his face suddenly changed color.
Seeing this, Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said, "Princess Xiaorui, don't talk nonsense. The phrase 'abandon after having sex' should not be used like this."
Nangong Xiaorui snorted coldly, "Isn't what I said wrong? Every time I go to see someone, I say all kinds of sweet words and flatter them. After getting their most precious things, they never go to play with them again. Damn it!"
Luo Qingzhou said awkwardly, "Princess, I will take the exam next year, so I have been studying at home and have no time. I also bought your Xuantian Jade Girl Tree Morning Dew to save my wife. Thank you very much for your kindness. After I finish my exam, I will go to play football with you."
He explained the whole thing clearly to avoid misunderstandings from others.
"Humph! Liar!"
Nangong Xiaorui said angrily, "I will never believe you again! Don't even think about asking for my treasure next month!"
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly apologized and flattered.
Nangong Ke also said with a straight face: "Qingzhou, this is your fault. When you went to ask for something, you played football with Xiaorui, but when you got the thing, you were gone. It was really too much."
Luo Qingzhou had to apologize again.
Qin Wenzheng also hurriedly greeted this Prince Duan.
Originally, behind the Qin family, there was an official and his family. When he saw Prince Duan coming, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Prince, come, you line up here."
As he said that, he hurriedly pulled his family back and gave up their place.
Nangong Ke glanced at him, frowned slightly, and said seriously: "Lord Wang, do you think I am a person who does not follow the rules?"
When Lord Wang was embarrassed and was about to pull his family back to their original position, Nangong Ke immediately pulled his daughter and inserted it, glancing at him and said: "This is originally my position. I came a long time ago. I just went to the toilet and was taken away by you."
Nangong Xiaorui also glanced at him and said: "Yes, it was originally our position."
The father and daughter, one big and one small, showed the same expression on their faces.
Lord Wang hurriedly smiled again and stepped back.
As for Nangong Ke's sons, they seemed a little ashamed. They looked at each other and took the initiative to line up at the back.
Luo Qingzhou did not dare to take the initiative to talk to the father and daughter again.
When I first met this Prince Duan in Jinchan Temple, I knew that he was very thick-skinned. I didn't expect that this little princess also inherited his style.
He had to find a way to get the Xuantian Jade Girl Tree back, so that he wouldn't have to ask the father and daughter every month. If he made them unhappy one day, wouldn't the second lady have no medicine to eat?
This feeling of being controlled by others was not pleasant.
Just as he was thinking about what to exchange for the other party to accept, a small foot suddenly stretched out from behind and gently kicked his calf.
Luo Qingzhou turned his head to look.
Nangong Xiaorui was pouting at him and said, "Why don't you talk to me? Don't you want my treasure in the future?"
Luo Qingzhou saw that Prince Duan was also staring at him closely, as if he was a wolf who would show his fangs at any time and eat his precious daughter in one bite.
Just as he was about to speak, it was their turn to be checked in front.
The guard standing at the palace gate, holding a piece of jade in his hand, approached them and took pictures of them, and then checked the invitation and household registration, and then let them in.
When Luo Qingzhou passed by the palace gate, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the bronze mirror inlaid on it.
Inside the bronze mirror, there was a flash of golden light, which was hard to see with the naked eye. Everyone who walked close would appear in the bronze mirror, becoming distorted and blurred.
"Master Luo, this is a magic mirror."
Just as he was wondering, the gatekeeper next to him explained: "It can identify demons and various monsters to prevent monsters from entering the palace."
The captain was called Chen Bao, with a slender figure and handsome face. He was on duty here every night. He had seen him several times.
Because the emperor ordered that he could enter the palace at will, some generals and captains guarding the city gate knew him.
Luo Qingzhou thanked him and walked in.
Just as he passed by him, he suddenly heard him whisper: "Be careful of Li Gui."
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved, his face was calm, his eyes still looking forward, and he left directly.
Li Gui?
It seems that those slaps were too light.
At the same time, he was secretly surprised in his heart. Why did this Captain Chen remind him? Could he also be the princess's man?
If so, the princess's infiltration is too powerful.
Several eunuchs stood in front with their heads bowed. Seeing that almost everyone had come in, they took them to the square in front of the Golden Palace.
All the guests went there and waited patiently.
An altar was built in the square. The emperor would go up to offer sacrifices to the heavens later. After the sacrifices and thanksgiving, the feast would begin.
The process was very cumbersome and required various etiquette. It was estimated that it would be afternoon when the feast began.
The guests in the square were arranged according to their status.
Because the waiting time was very long, the eunuchs and palace maids brought tables and chairs for the guests to sit down and rest.
Several princes had already sat together and started chatting.
Among the other nobles, only some respected elders sat down to rest, and as for the younger generation, they could only continue to stand honestly.
The Qin family could only stand at the edge.
Even if Qin Wenzheng had not resigned his title, he was not qualified to sit in front at this time.
Qin Wenzheng knew some people in Kyoto and had contacted them before. Since he resigned his title and offended the nobles, few people dared to contact him.
Now his eldest son has become the commander of the Jinyiwei, who is feared and hated by all officials, so naturally no one will come to talk to him.
The family stood alone in the corner, which seemed particularly deserted compared to the other people who gathered together to talk.
Song Ruyue didn't feel anything.
This was the first time she had entered the palace since she was a child. At this time, she was still excited and excited, looking up her neck and looking around.
In addition to looking at the exquisite buildings around, she looked at the clothes of the palace maids and noble ladies the most, and commented in a low voice, sometimes envious, sometimes disdainful, and the expression on her pretty face was particularly wonderful.
Nangong Xueyi was going to pester Luo Qingzhou to ask him to continue to revise the ending of "The Story of the Stone", but was called away by the Prince of Nanguo to pay respects to other uncles and princes.
Many princes who were sealed outside came back this time, and she had never seen some of them even once.
Although she was very reluctant, she had to leave with a bitter face.
Nangong Xiaorui's family naturally left as well.
At this time, the status of each person and each family is truly highlighted.
Powerful families naturally have many people around them.
Qin Wenzheng didn't seem to care and was asking about the things in Qinchuan College in a low voice.
Bailing came to Luo Qingzhou and asked in a low voice: "Son-in-law, are you plotting against Princess Xueyi?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't even want to see her."
Bailing raised her eyebrows and said: "Son-in-law, don't you like sisters?"
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and searched the crowd.
Soon, he saw people from the five major sects.
Monks from Jinchan Temple, Taoists from Qingyun Temple, black robes from Lingxiao Sect, white robes from Xianyun Pavilion, and the other side should be blue robes from Huashan Sect.
At this time, he suddenly saw several familiar figures.
Among the group of people from Lingxiao Sect, Zixia in red and Linghu Qingzhu in green were very conspicuous.
In addition to the two of them, there were also two peak masters and several direct disciples.
Among them, You Yushu's beloved disciple and niece, You Yuyu with golden ponytails, also came.
At this time, Linghu Qingzhu had a cold face and was also searching in the crowd.
When her eyes were about to look over here, Luo Qingzhou immediately turned his back and looked elsewhere.
When he played the horse riding game with Chanchan in Sister Dao's hut, he did not wear a mask. Uncle Linghu should have seen it. If she saw it again now, his identity and his family would be exposed.
Although she was one of them, he did not want to be exposed so early.
Moreover, his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Bailing were all here. If she came to talk, how should he explain it?
When he was thinking secretly in his heart, he suddenly saw Li Gui with two eunuchs, walking straight towards him.
The two looked at each other.
Li Gui lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly.
