"This is the royal palace, and it truly deserves its reputation!!"
It was also the first time for everyone to come to the palace, and they were all amazed at this time. In front of them were hundreds of steps made of white jade, which required visitors to walk up step by step. These steps alone were not ordinary things.
, it contains a touch of power, making everyone who walks by feel solemn in their hearts.
There are towering golden osmanthus trees with coiled dragons on both sides, as well as delicately carved white jade railings. Next to the railings, there are warriors holding ritual utensils and looking solemn.
It's just that the warriors who guard these are all in the spirit sea realm.
Looking forward along the white jade steps, in the distance is an unreal palace that seems to be shrouded in mist. The golden glazed tiles shine dazzlingly in the sun. Under the blue sky, the golden glazed tiles on the double-eaves roof of the palace look...
Extraordinarily brilliant.
Gorgeous and noble, this is everyone's first impression.
Everyone followed Qing He and walked toward the main hall step by step with nervousness.
On the steps at this time, there were not only them, but also many people, all of whom were walking forward solemnly, step by step, just like them.
Perhaps the pressure placed on them by the palace was too heavy. They actually walked up a few hundred steps for a full quarter of an hour.
In the main hall, many people had already arrived. Those who came found their positions and stood there obediently. No one talked, and they seemed very quiet.
Qinghe also found a place to stand, and Wei Zong and others stood behind them.
After standing up, Wei Zong didn't dare to look around like other people. He was more casual and took a clear look at the situation in the hall.
Qinghe and the others were located in an area in the middle and front, and beside him, there were several princes and their geniuses standing here. It was obvious that this was the prince's position.
After passing by, Wei Zong looked forward. The prince's status was already noble enough, and those who could stand in front of them were basically important ministers of the country. However, except for an old man, no one else had come yet.
As for the front, what surprised Wei Zong was that there were actually seven chairs placed.
In other words, during the court ceremony, other than the emperor, there were actually people who could sit down.
Judging from the seven chairs, Wei Zong estimated that they should be prepared for people from the seven major families. From this point of view, the influence of the seven major families in the Cangqing Dynasty was stronger than he imagined. Even the emperor used them
There is nothing you can do.
As time goes by, more and more people come.
The princes around Wei Zong also arrived in time. Especially Qing Heng, when he arrived, he saw no one around Qing He, so he stood directly beside him.
"Senior Wei Zong."
Suddenly, Qing Heng's voice appeared in Wei Zong's ears.
Wei Zong raised his eyes slightly, and Qing Heng's lips moved slightly, obviously using his spiritual power to transmit the sound.
"Qingheng?"
"It's me. Last time we said goodbye, Yan'er and I missed you very much."
"Yan'er?" Wei Zong's heart moved, and he thought of the little maid Ruan Yan who had been following Qing Heng. Her surname was Ruan, and she seemed to be a member of the Ruan family, one of the seven major families.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Wei Zong said: "The reason why you came to me should be more than just reminiscing about old times."
"Of course it's not just about reminiscing about old times. Senior Wei Zong, according to the news I've learned, several of the seven major families are now eyeing you."
"Target me?" Wei Zong was a little surprised. He thought the only ones interested in him were the Wei family and the Qin family!
"Yes." Qing Heng explained patiently: "What I know is that your identity seems to be very important to the Wei family. The Wei family really wants to absorb you into the family, but several other families are not as likely to see this scene.
, so they will definitely block it.”
After Qing Heng finished speaking, Wei Zong fell into deep thought.
He knew that the Wei family wanted to arrest him, and the purpose was actually just the Wei family's small world in the Tiansha region behind him. Why did the other families want to stop him? Could it be that there was something special about that small world? They didn't want to let him
Will the Wei family get it?
Wei Zong was a little confused, but at this time, Qing Heng continued: "Senior Wei Zong, just be optimistic. I estimate that after this court meeting, they will attack you. So... when the time comes..."
Qing Heng wanted to continue talking, but then a high-pitched voice suddenly sounded.
"quiet--"
The one who spoke was an eunuch, holding a fly whisk and standing next to the dragon chair.
It was him who shouted this at the top of his lungs just now.
Although he was just a eunuch, no one dared to look down upon him. Everyone knew that he was Cao Ba, Eunuch Cao, the personal attendant of His Majesty the Emperor.
Being interrupted by Cao Ba, and with almost everyone already here, it was not easy for Qing Heng to continue communicating with Wei Zong at this time.
Qing Heng didn't speak, so Wei Zong naturally didn't take the initiative to speak. He turned his attention to the seven chairs in front. The court was about to begin, and the people from the seven major families hadn't arrived yet.
Just as he was thinking this, there suddenly was a commotion behind him.
Wei Zong looked back and saw seven people appearing together. Among them, there were old men and middle-aged men, and the most eye-catching one was a young woman who still had charm. They had different faces and walked side by side.
Everyone who had been standing now obediently made room for them. Seven people, Shi Shiran, walked from the back to the front and sat down in their seats.
"This is the patriarch of the seven major families!"
Wei Zong knew clearly. From one of the old men, Wei Zong smelled something similar to his own blood. This person should be the patriarch of the Wei family. As for the other middle-aged man with gray hair, Wei Zong sensed that he had something similar to his own.
The imprint left by his sword power, this person should be the patriarch of the Qin family.
Also, Qin Shang’s younger brother!
Just as he was looking at the two people unscrupulously, the two seemed to sense something. They turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes fell precisely on Wei Zong, who was standing in the crowd.
When being stared at by these two people, most people would have turned their heads away, not daring to look at them. But Wei Zong was different. He showed no weakness and faced their gazes directly.
The eyes of the three people collided in the space, as if sparks appeared.
"interesting!"
Qin Tai, the current patriarch of the Qin family, laughed softly and turned his head away.
As for Wei Yuanbai, the current patriarch of the Wei family, he looked deeply at Wei Zong, as if he wanted to memorize his appearance before turning his gaze away.
As for the reason why both of them averted their eyes, it was very simple.
because……
Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived!
Cao Ba had already shouted at the top of his lungs, and the high-pitched and thin voice resounded throughout the hall and appeared in everyone's ears.
