This sentence seems to be an understatement, but it does not reveal anything and lowers the status of the leader of the Shenzong under the emperor. How could Zhou Gongjin not hear it and be unable to refute it with Zhou Gongjin's sophistication.
Everyone got on the carriage again, and Zhou Gongjin ordered the elder to take the silver to the donation office, and he followed He Lanji and Chu Tianjiao's carriage to the palace.
After getting on the carriage, He Lanji immediately looked at Chu Tianjiao's face with concern, "Go to the palace in a moment and find an imperial doctor to take your pulse!"
"I was just acting, I didn't expect you to take it seriously!" Chu Tianjiao smiled slyly, "It seems that my acting skills are already perfect!"
"Is it really okay?!" He Lanji was still a little worried.
Chu Tianjiao smiled, "It's really okay!"
"Really?!" He Lanji lifted her chin and looked into her eyes.
"Really!" She smiled innocently, but lowered her eyes to look at his neck, not looking at him.
Helan Ji's eyebrows were slightly raised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just held her in his arms and rubbed her head lovingly with his palms.
In the palace, the banquet has already been prepared, and only a few important people are waiting to return.
When the eunuch announced the news of the arrival of the sect master, the regent, and the princess one after another, all the officials in the palace, as well as the young emperor and the Queen Mother Duanyi who were sitting on the main seats, stood up.
At this time, the purpose is to suppress, but in order to convince the public, these mundane rituals are naturally indispensable.
However, unlike in the past, where Shenzong always sat with the emperor in a different order, Zhou Gongjin's seat was the same as that of Helan Jichu Tianjiao, below the emperor and above the officials.
Zhou Gongjin looked at his seat and finally sat down silently. The moment he sat down, it was a foregone conclusion that Shenzong was inferior to the imperial power.
The officials looked away from his figure, and they already understood in their hearts that this time, their prince had won.
The officials who were still a little hesitant in their hearts immediately decided their own camp in their hearts and stood on He Lanji's side.
The little emperor held up the cup in a decent manner. Although his voice was a little milky, who dared to laugh at him for not being like an emperor? "I am very happy that the sect master came to the palace in person. I ask the sect master to help me with this evil thing in the south."
The emperor’s uncle!”
Naturally, these words were taught in advance.
An assist only lowered Zhou Gongjin's position by a few points.
"Paling demons and eradicating demons is our duty as a divine sect. It is natural for us to cooperate with the regent!" Zhou Gongjin struggled without leaving a trace and replaced assistance with cooperation.
"I would also like to ask the sect master for your cooperation!" He Lanji picked up the cup and said, "Come, I would like to drink a glass to the sect master!"
Changing cups and cups, you come and go, it looks like a lively banquet, but it is hidden with quarrels and quarrels. Unfortunately, this time Zhou Gongjin has already lost the opportunity even if he is not at home.
There is no way to escape the fate of being at a disadvantage.
After the banquet, He Lanji invited Zhou Gongjin to take a walk in the Imperial Garden on the pretext of a drunken walk. No one was accompanying him except Chu Tianjiao. Zhou Gongjin knew that this was the real moment of negotiation and did not bring any entourage.
The three of them walked side by side in the spacious passage of the imperial garden. Finally, He Lanji was the first to speak, "I heard that the sect master has summoned all the disciples of the sect and rushed to the south to help out. I thought that the safety of these disciples of the sect cannot be ignored.
After much thought, I still think it would be more appropriate to join my God-Blessed Army!"
