The Western Campus was brightly lit.
The square of the garden party was already packed with people in strange clothes.
Some wore geisha kimonos and played the zither, some wore Korean costumes and danced with drums, and some painted black people held torches and performed fire-breathing.
Not far away, the kings, princesses, and famous officials of various countries shuttled through the streets, toasting each other and chatting happily.
The scene was grand and lively.
Zhu Di and his son walked in from the door, and the Koreans and Wei Nation people on both sides of the road knelt down.
"Greetings, Great Ming Emperor!"
Zhu Di smiled and said,"I'm fine."”
Further ahead, another group of Siamese and Persians gathered to kneel and toast.
"Greetings, Great Ming Emperor!"
Zhu Di also raised his wine glass and smiled.”
In front of them, a dwarf shouted,""Salute, line up!"
Immediately, four dwarves raised their wooden sabers and shields and began to fight.
The four of them were short and fat. When they moved, they looked like potatoes in armor. Their movements were very funny, causing Zhu Di to laugh out loud.”
The four dwarves quickly got up and knelt down." Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"”
The few of them continued walking forward. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui went to toast with their wine glasses.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi." You don't have to accompany me. You and Zheng He, sit next to each other and toast to the envoys of the various countries.”
"Yes."
Zhu Di looked down and frowned.""Where's the little brat? Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"
"Eh?" Zhu Gaochi asked curiously. He was here just now."
Zhu Di rolled his eyes. He said he brought a girl to see me tonight. Without him, I wouldn't be seated and would play tricks again.”
Zhu Gaochi looked around and suddenly said,""Father, Fourth Brother is over there!"
The two of them looked into the distance.
In the crowd, a man and a woman walked over slowly.
The woman was wearing a green gauze lotus dress, a brocade glass belt around her waist, and a three-star glass hairpin on her head. Her black hair was like a waterfall, and her pretty face was full of spring. She was so beautiful that it was as if she was not from the mortal world.
In terms of temperament and beauty, no one present could compare to her.
As for the man, although he was slightly shorter due to his age and the woman's tall figure, his temperament was even more eye-catching.
His eyes seemed to hide the universe, and no one dared to look him in the eye.
As the two of them walked over, the envoys of countless countries stopped and looked at them in amazement.
Zhu Di's eyes lit up as he sighed,""People still need to be young."
"Even the greatest hero will grow old. Thinking back to my time, I didn't live as well as him. Where did that girl come from?”
Zhu Gaochi shook his head." Uh, I don't know.”
"Where are you from?"
"Hiss…" Zhu Gaochi thought for a moment and shook his head again." I don't know.”
"How did you meet him?"
"Uh…"
Zhu Di rolled his eyes." Go drink."”
"Alright."
...
On the other side.
When Sun Ruowei saw the eunuchs and palace maids running errands all over the place, she completely knew what this place was.
The royal banquet!
After listening to the way everyone addressed Zhu Gaoyan, Sun Ruowei finally understood Zhu Gaoyan's identity.
Great Ming Liang King!
That was her biggest enemy, Zhu Di's youngest son.
She, a Jingnan traitor, actually came to the royal banquet with the prince of Ming Dynasty.
Sun Ruowei's breathing was a little hurried." You, why did you bring me here?”
"Don't be nervous, no one knows you." Zhu Gaoyan laughed.”
Sun Ruowei's heart was pounding.
She had no idea what Zhu Gaoyan was thinking.
However, it was clear that this shrewd young prince did not just bring her to attend a banquet.
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived in front of Zhu Di.
"You do whatever I do later," Zhu Gaoyan said in a low voice.”
Zhu Gaoyan walked up to Zhu Di and bowed.
"Greetings, Emperor!"
Sun Ruowei also imitated Zhu Gaoyan and bowed." Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Although she had fantasized countless times that she could take revenge with her sword, when she really stood in front of Zhu Di, she realized how terrifying the pressure of an emperor was.
Zhu Di was not wearing a dragon robe. He only wore a simple brocade robe and looked like an ordinary old man.
However, there was always an air of superiority about him, as if he could decide the life and death of countless people with a single thought.
Zhu Di chuckled." Little brat, go play. I'll talk to her."”
Zhu Gaoyan nodded." Alright, Dad."”
Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi turned around and walked towards the platform.
"Hey!" Sun Ruowei pulled Zhu Gaoyan's sleeve in a daze. Her eyes were asking Zhu Gaoyan what he should do.
"Go ahead," Zhu Gaoyan said with a smile."Didn't you always want to see my father?"”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill him?" Sun Ruowei asked.”
Zhu Gaoyan smiled even wider." If I was afraid, would I have brought you here?”
Sun Ruowei gritted her teeth. Zhu Gaoyan was reminding her that her companion was still imprisoned in the Imperial Jail of the Brocade Guard.
Sun Ruowei did not forget that Zhu Gaoyan had a female guard wearing a silver mask.
Sun Ruowei had experienced the skill of the Startling Salamander and knew that if the other party was here, she would definitely have no chance.
"Fine, I know I can't escape from you," Sun Ruowei said dejectedly.”
"Then can you tell me what you want me to do?”
Zhu Gaoyan smiled mysteriously." Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Only Sun Ruowei was left with a bitter look on her face.
......
In fact, Zhu Gaoyan's purpose for letting Sun Ruowei come was very simple. It was to give Zhu Gaoxu a show of strength.
Others might not know Sun Ruowei, but Zhu Gaoxu definitely did.
These few days, there were many spies from the Han Imperial Residence near the Liang Imperial Residence.
This second brother of his had already begun to suspect him.
Zhu Gaoyan wasn't a person who would forget all grudges with a smile. Since the Han King wanted to test him, he would prepare a good scare for him!
Apart from that, there was another purpose, but it would only be effective after the garden party was over.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Gaosui walked towards him.
"Fourth Bro, are you busy? Accompany your third brother for a few drinks?"
Zhu Gaoyan sneered in his heart. The first wave of probing had arrived.
