"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Entering the Wangyi Palace, Lu Xuan cupped his hands towards Ying Zheng.
He neither knelt nor bowed.
His current identity was the disciple of an immortal, and his status was extraordinary. He did not need to care about worldly etiquette.
However, this immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Arrogant and rude."
A minister snorted coldly in his heart.
In their opinion, when meeting the emperor, one should kneel three times and kowtow nine times. This was in line with the etiquette of a minister.
Lu Xuan's behavior was simply rude to the extreme.
However, since the First Emperor didn't punish them, they didn't dare to blame him.
However, he secretly held his breath in his heart.
"Mr. Lu is here! Someone, give Mr. Lu a seat." Ying Zheng ordered.
Lu Xuan sat down in the lower part of the hall.
Suddenly, he felt a strange gaze.
Then, he raised his eyes to look at Ying Zheng, only to discover a valiant looking guard standing beside him.
Only a pair of bright and beautiful eyes were looking at him in a daze.
"Uh…"
Lu Xuan was slightly stunned.
Wasn't this the Seventh Princess Ying Yinman?
She actually appeared at the banquet?
Pretending to be a guard?
Lu Xuan threw a glance at Ying Zheng. He knew that this must have been allowed by Ying Zheng.
It seemed that Ying Zheng really doted on his daughter.
His mind moved slightly, and he suddenly felt a strange gaze.
It was a man who sat beside Li Si. He had a burly figure and looked refined, but the way he looked at Lu Xuan was like a fire that could not be hidden.
Even though he tried his best to hide it, Lu Xuan could still feel the other party's monstrous hatred.
" He's Li Si's son, Li You?"
" What?" Lu Xuan was puzzled." I didn't offend him. Why…"
Suddenly, he noticed Li You glancing at the Seventh Princess Ying Yinman from the corner of his eyes.
Lu Xuan was enlightened.
So that was the case.
He was the son of the Prime Minister. If he had not appeared as the disciple of an Immortal and asked Ying Zheng for a marriage proposal, then…
No wonder he hated her so much.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Li You smile slightly and cupped his hands,""Li You has been admiring the Divine Immortal Marquis for a long time after hearing about it from his father.”
honey-mouthed, backstabbing.
His hatred for her was clearly about to overflow, but he still pretended to be like this.
It seemed that this person was also a hypocrite.
Lu Xuan had already made a judgment in his heart, but he did not show it on the surface. He cupped his hands and smiled,"General Li is the son of the Prime Minister. He is young and promising. I have long heard of him. Nice to meet you!"
Soon, all the young masters and ministers entered the banquet.
Ying Zheng smiled." Today in Wangyi Palace, I will be drinking and having fun with all the ministers and workers. There is no need to be so formal."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Your Highness, all the officials thanked him.
After that, Ying Zheng ordered,"Men, serve wine, and sing and dance to liven things up."”
At the order, a row of graceful dancers dressed in foreign costumes filed in.
A pleasant music sounded.
The singer danced with light footsteps.
For a moment, the entire hall was filled with joy.
The decadent sound interweaved with the smell of alcohol, and the air was filled with the fragrance of a woman, emitting an aura that made one's heart fall.
The civil and military officials in the hall also began to clamor.
……
Lu Xuan took a sip of wine, but he did not admire the charm of these foreign beauties. Instead, he quietly sized up the people in the hall.
He had just arrived in Great Qin, so he did not know many people.
This was an opportunity for him to quickly familiarize himself with the people and things in the court.
Young Master Fusu, Hu Hai, Prime Minister Li Si, General Wang Ben, Meng Tian…the three dukes and nine ministers…
Lu Xuan noticed that there was an evil and handsome youth sitting opposite him.
His handsome face had a strange purple flame-shaped flower pattern. He wore strange clothes and his skin was abnormally fair.
He was none other than the genius youth, one of the two great Kingdom Protectors of the Empire, Xing Hun.
Xing Hun's gaze would occasionally glance at him, incomparably sharp, as though he wanted to see through his thoughts.
"Little wimp!"
Lu Xuan muttered in his heart and could not be bothered with him anymore.
As time passed, many people started to get tipsy.
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more extravagant.
The smell of alcohol permeated the air.
Many of them were red in the face.
Even Ying Zheng was swaying left and right as if he was drunk.
"Your Majesty, drink less."
Zhao Gao advised softly.
Ying Zheng pushed him away.
"I drank with all the ministers and enjoyed myself. I won't return until I'm drunk. How can I drink less?”
After saying that, Ying Zheng burst into laughter.
A strange look flashed across Zhao Gao's eyes.
He had served the First Emperor for many years and was familiar with the Emperor's personality.
His actions today could be said to be extremely abnormal.
"What does His Majesty mean by this?”
Zhao Gao's mind raced, but he couldn't guess it no matter what.
At this moment, Imperial Censor Zhang Cang stood up and said,""Today, Your Majesty has specially prepared a banquet for Deity Marquis. This lowly subject is also filled with admiration for Deity Marquis.”
"There is a question that I have thought about for a long time and can't understand.”
"Divine Immortal Marquis is the disciple of an Immortal, so I'm sure he can solve it.”
As soon as he said this, the hall fell silent.
The singing and dancing stopped as well.
"This question is to arrange the nine numbers from one to nine in three rows. Regardless of the angle, every three numbers add up to fifteen.”
