"This is it, let's go in." The middle-aged man closed the folding fan and said, walking in with Qing Nian.
The first thing that catches your eye when you come in is the wine table and exquisite pastries, as well as some food and wine. Some wealthy disciples and powerful men are drinking and chatting here, while some eldest ladies are gathered together and chattering.
"Huh? Qing Nian is here, wait! Him!" Tang Jue saw Qing Nian coming, but when he saw the middle-aged man standing side by side with Qing Nian, he stood up suddenly.
At this time, many people also noticed and stood up quickly. The group of eldest ladies and fifth princesses who were chatting and discussing countless issues also stood up one after another.
"We pay homage to our emperor, long live my emperor." Everyone stood up and then knelt down to pay homage.
Qing Nian was immediately confused and turned around, but there was only an old eunuch behind him.
"Young man, where are you looking?" the old eunuch said with a smile, although his voice was as sharp as a duck's.
"Uh...Uncle, it turns out you are the emperor." Qing Nian suddenly realized that it was right. The person who could have an old eunuch following him must be someone from the palace! But Qing Nian never expected it.
It's the emperor!
The people who were kneeling at the scene almost laughed when they heard Qing Nian's words. This was definitely the first time that anyone dared to call uncle in front of the emperor!
"There is no need to kneel down, you are all at peace." The middle-aged man said with dignity, he was Feng Wanli, the emperor of Fenglin Kingdom.
"Ya'er, my father doesn't know what to give you for your birthday, so I'll give you this necklace." The old eunuch walked up to Feng Ya and took out an exquisite packaging box, inside which lay a string of crystal necklaces.
Exquisite necklace, you will like it just by looking at it.
"Fengya likes whatever my father gives me." Fengya said with a smile and accepted the box with his own hands.
"Well, my father is still busy with government affairs, so you can have fun." Feng Wanli said with a smile, then turned around, patted Qing Nian on the shoulder, smiled and left.
Many people envied Qing Nian when they saw this action, but Qing Nian himself didn't think it was a good thing.
After all, having experienced the influence of that woman, it is not a good thing for him to be remembered by the emperor of a country.
Who knows what he was thinking.
"Okay, let's continue what we were doing just now and have fun." Feng Ya said with a smile, and then some people gathered together again to have a drink. The eldest ladies surrounded Feng Ya and asked who Qing Nian was.
After all, there are only a handful of people who have been patted on the shoulder by the emperor!
"Hey, Qing Nian, why are you walking with His Majesty?" At the dinner table, Tang Mengmeng asked Qing Nian, her big eyes full of doubts and surprise.
"I got lost in the palace, so I asked someone for directions. Who knew he was the emperor? He wasn't wearing a dragon robe." Qing Nian shrugged helplessly.
"Ruobing Ruobing, come here!" Tang Mengmeng stood up and waved in the distance. Yun Ruobing, who was silent next to a group of young ladies, raised her dark eyebrows and looked here with a pair of cold eyes.
"Sit!" Tang Mengmeng pulled Yun Ruobing and asked her to sit next to her, but next to Yun Ruobing was Qing Nian.
Many people couldn't help but look here. After all, everyone present knew that Qing Nian and Yun Ruobing had a one-month date.
The two enemies could actually sit down and have a meal in such a peaceful manner. Could it be that they were deliberately tolerating it and then start fighting later?
I have to say that I admire their imagination, Qing Nian will never take action here, and it is not a mortal enemy with Yun Ruobing, they just made an appointment to fight in the ring, and it also expressed that they were very unhappy with Yun Ruobing's behavior that day.
Yun Ruobing ate the cakes elegantly, but she couldn't get in the way. She was a person who didn't like to communicate actively.
"Master Tang, long time no see. I heard that you have been seriously ill recently. I said I don't believe it. Don't you think this is a good thing?" At this time, a voice came, a little unruly, but compared to the arrogant princess who was born with it.
Jie Ao still checked a lot.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Long. I'm fine. Nothing happened at all." Tang Jue responded with a smile.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" A slightly handsome young man with a slender body asked standing next to Tang Jue.
"Of course I don't mind, Mr. Long, please." Although Tang Jue hated him and wanted to kill him immediately, he had to pretend that nothing happened on the surface.
The same is true for big families. On the surface they are harmonious, but secretly they have fought countless times.
Moreover, the relationship between the Tang family and the Long family is notoriously bad, while the Yun family has always maintained a neutral relationship, not leaning towards either side.
The royal family also ignored the struggle between the two families, as if they didn't see it.
But this is what the royal family hopes to see. After all, two powerful families are restraining each other, and this situation couldn't be better.
The one from the Long family is the prime minister in the court, the so-called second-in-command, while the one from the Tang family is the marshal of troops and horses, the head of the military attachés.
Their positions in the court are extraordinary, so it is good to keep each other in check. If one family is weak and the other is strong, it will put pressure on the royal family. This is not the result the emperor wants to see.
Moreover, the one from the Yun family is the Minister of Finance, which will not have much influence on the emperor. I hope that the two families will lose in the fight and the royal family will come out to take advantage.
How could the Long family and the Tang family not know what the emperor was thinking? So all these years were just minor conflicts that were inconspicuous, and no major conflicts had ever happened. Everyone knew this truth.
Not to mention that the fierce tiger of the royal family is watching eagerly, the old fox of the Yun family is also staring intently.
"Is this the person who won the first place among new disciples twice? Judging from his appearance, he is an outstanding person." Long Long turned his attention to Qing Nian and said.
"Young Master Long, I'm sorry, but Young Master Long is really good at reading faces." Qing Nian said with a smile. It didn't sound like much at first, but after listening carefully, it had some flavor.
Qing Nian is so thick-skinned, so thick-skinned, and he also said that Long Long is a fortune teller. The fortune tellers here are full of lies and not a single word of truth.
The meaning of the metaphor is that Long Long is talking nonsense, and what he says is all nonsense.
Tang Jue's mouth twitched. He wanted to laugh, but he held it back. Many people present didn't understand what it meant. After all, the hidden meaning of this sentence was a bit deep.
"I heard that you had an appointment with sister Ruoyun in the ring?" Long Long was stunned for a few seconds before he understood what it meant, but he didn't want to get angry here and changed the subject.
"Yeah." Qing Nian hummed lightly, while Yun Ruobing frowned slightly. She hated being called that.
"Are you confident of winning?" Long Long picked up a glass of wine, drank it and said.
"Master Long will naturally straighten things out by then." Qing Nian's mind was spinning quickly. Long Long was provoking trouble. If Qing Nian said he was confident, it would arouse Yun Ruobing's anger, and he might take action here.
If you don't have confidence, Qing Nian will prove that you are a coward. No matter what kind of answer Qing Nian gives, it will not look good.
