Chapter 1031 Brothers
After a long sigh, Chen Qingle stood up. He looked at the arrogant imperial edict messenger in the sky, looked at Chanbi with some embarrassment, and said, "Chanbi, give you a reward."
"No need."
The imperial edict messenger looked at the impoverished Jingxian Marquis Mansion with a look of contempt and discrimination, and said, "Jingxian Marquis is so poor, how can this subordinate ask for money from Jingxian Marquis. If this gets out, colleagues will definitely make this subordinate a laughing stock and talk about him behind his back. It is enough for such a person to have only one Marquis, so this subordinate will not get involved."
"You!"
Chanbi's lips trembled with anger when she heard this.
"Chanbi! Come back!"
Chen Qingle bowed and said, "Then please forgive me for my poor hospitality."
"Okay, okay, Marquis, hurry up and prepare to go to the palace. The other princes are looking forward to seeing you, to express their brotherly love!"
After that, the imperial edict messenger led the team away.
Chanbi looked at Chen Qingle's ugly face and was in a very bad mood. She hurriedly said, "Sir, take Chanbi with you!" Chen Qingle forced a smile and persuaded, "Why take you with you? Can you stop them from humiliating me in the palace? I have endured it for so many years, and I can deal with it calmly."
"Sir..."
"Don't say it. Father must have something important to summon him suddenly. For something important, he still summoned me, which means that father still has me as his son in his eyes. This has made me feel very relieved."
After saying that, Chen Qingle turned around and changed into the prince's dress that he would never wear normally, soared into the air, and flew quickly to Xuanlian Imperial City.
Looking at the Xuanlian Imperial City getting closer and closer, Chen Qingle would feel a complex feeling of nostalgia and resistance every time he saw it.
His memory of the imperial city was only his father sitting in it, ruling the four directions with all his might, and his mother's gentle and careful care.
He still remembered that when he was a child, he was brought into his father's study by his mother. When his father was not dealing with government affairs, he would take time to hug him and say something that he did not understand at the time.
This became one of Chen Qingle's few precious memories, but this memory did not last long. Soon the imperial city became the place he resisted the most.
Since he gave up participating in the Xuanlian Trial, his father's attitude towards him took a sharp turn for the worse, and he even acquiesced to the bullying of other brothers. Perhaps Chen Qingle's resistance to the palace was not due to the contempt of the servants or the bullying of his brothers and compatriots, but to the extremely disappointed look of his father every time he saw him.
That look seemed to say: How could I have a son as spineless as you.
Chen Qingle came to the front of the palace with a heavy heart, and slowly descended from the sky.
Xuanlian Imperial City has a powerful no-fly zone. Only special people and fusion-stage cultivators can fly freely in the imperial city.
But the imperial city is vast, if you can't fly, it will probably take more than ten days to reach the Xuanlian Heavenly Palace in the center by foot.
Therefore, in order to welcome the prince, the Imperial City Internal Affairs Bureau set up the Xuanlian sedan chair in front of the imperial city in advance. When Chen Qingle arrived outside the imperial city, he saw nine sedan chairs lined up in a row, eight of which had brilliant crystal walls, golden silk soft seats, and curling incense.
The last one was dilapidated, with cracks everywhere, and the sedan chair cushion even had a big hole in it, just like the cushion for mortals to use in the toilet.
At this time, the other eight princes had already arrived at the foot of the imperial city, and had safely sat on the sedan chairs with the help of servants.
When they saw Chen Qingle coming late, they all smiled displeasedly.
"Why did you ask Old Forty-Nine to come? He lives far away, flies slowly, and we have to wait for him."
"I feel unlucky when I see his gloomy face! Forty-Nine, you are so honorable that you made me wait so long!"
"Yes, we are so noble, but we are waiting for you here. Forty-Nine, shouldn't you kneel down and apologize?"
The other princes echoed, and suddenly a wave of pressure was added to Chen Qingle's shoulders. Chen Qingle wanted to stand up straight, but the pressure exerted by the eight princes was too strong. Even though his veins were bulging, he could only kneel on one knee with a rumble.
Chen Qingle raised his shaking hands and said in a deep voice: "I apologize to all the royal brothers. I have a low level of cultivation and have kept you waiting for a long time."
Finally, the seventeenth prince said: "Forget it, don't be too serious. After all, we are a big family. If we scare Forty-nine away from coming in the future, how much fun we will lack."
"Let's go. Don't keep father waiting for a long time. Lift the sedan chair."
After that, the servants waiting on the side lifted up the sedan chairs of their respective princes. Their magic power was poured into the sedan chairs, and the sedan chairs broke the no-fly zone and soared into the air.
Chen Qingle stood up and looked at his broken sedan chair. No one would help him lift it. If he wanted to fly to the Xuanlian Heavenly Palace, he could only lift his own sedan chair.
Looking at this "specially made" broken sedan chair, Chen Qingle had long been accustomed to it. He naturally lifted the sedan chair and urged his magic power to break the restriction and soar into the air.
Chen Qingle had experienced this ridiculous scene of carrying a sedan chair countless times and had become accustomed to it.
However, this time was different from the past. In mid-air, the broken sedan chair suddenly fell apart, and the array used to break the forbidden air area also collapsed.
"Ah!"
Chen Qingle screamed, and his body was out of control, and he fell heavily from mid-air.
Seeing this scene, the seventeenth prince showed a smug smile, and the other princes also laughed. Every time they teased Chen Qingle, it seemed to be their greatest pleasure.
Chen Qingle stood up from the ground with a dusty face. Falling from a high altitude was nothing for a person in the Spiritualization Stage, but without the sedan chair, he could not get to the Xuanlian Heavenly Palace on time, and this scene really embarrassed him.
He knew that the sedan chair had been tampered with, otherwise it would not have suddenly fallen apart in mid-air. He looked at the princes who were laughing in the sky and knew that this was their work, but it didn't matter who it was.
In Chen Qingle's eyes, they were all the same kind of people.
The palace maids and guards who came and went in the imperial city saw the dusty Chen Qingle and laughed.
At this time, the second prince drove the sedan chair to Chen Qingle and sneered: "Forty-ninth brother, do you want me to help you and take you to the Xuanlian Heavenly Palace with my sedan chair?"
Chen Qingle hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "Then I'll have to trouble my second brother."
"Wait!"
The second prince suddenly stopped Chen Qingle who wanted to come up.
"My brother's sedan chair can only be ridden by me. If you want to go to Xuanlian Heavenly Palace with me, help me carry it. Anyway, you usually carry it for yourself."
Hearing this, Chen Qingle's face froze.
"Do you want to miss the emperor's summons? If so, then go by yourself."
"Okay!"
Chen Qingle clenched his fist: "I'll carry it!"
After hearing this, the second prince laughed loudly, waved his hand, and dispersed his four servants, saying: "Go back, my forty-ninth brother can carry the entire Xuanlian sedan chair by himself, you all should learn from him!"
