Chapter 320: Surprise attack
Chapter 320 Sudden Attack
It was night, and the lanterns were just coming on. The people in the whole capital were attracted by the colorful lanterns extending from the gate of the city to the gate of the palace. The entire capital city was shrouded in lights.
At the gate of the palace, carriages stopped and drove past, blocking the entire gate of the palace.
Adults in official uniforms and official sons in gorgeous dresses got off the carriage and walked slowly towards the palace.
After an unknown amount of time, the gorgeous carriages blocking the entrance of the palace began to disperse. Standing aside all the time, the scholars in commoner clothes and the martial arts students in hard attire came forward and reported their names and household registrations to the fathers-in-law who were specially guarding the gate of the palace one by one. After checking one by one, after confirming that there is no problem, with a wave of hands, the scholars and martial artists immediately walked towards the palace.
Scholar and Wusheng were led by two father-in-laws respectively, and headed towards the observation building of the banquet.
Along the way, everyone looked aside from time to time, talking about something in a low voice, with surprise in their eyes.
Seeing that they were about to reach the viewing tower, the two father-in-laws who were leading the way stopped suddenly and said to the crowd, "When you see Your Majesty, you should kneel down and bow down. When you see your ministers, you can just perform the usual rituals. If Your Majesty asks When you ask questions, you must first answer "Return to Your Majesty". If you are an envoy from another country, you don't need to worry so much, but you still need to pay attention to basic etiquette. When eating, you must wait for Your Majesty to move the chopsticks first, and then the envoys of other countries Minister, all ministers, you are the last to move your chopsticks. Of course, after you become an official tomorrow, you can move your chopsticks at the same time as the ministers. Do you remember all of this?"
Everyone nodded.
Seeing this, the father-in-law nodded in satisfaction, "After entering, your seat is on the left, behind the ministers. Before Wen Sheng, after Wu Sheng. The top three in the imperial examination and military examination sit at the front and sit with the ministers. These You have to keep in mind that you must not sit wrong later."
Everyone nodded again.
The two father-in-laws looked at each other and waved the whisk in their hands at the same time, "Okay, you can come in with our house."
A group of people went up to the viewing tower, and happened to meet the eighth princess of Nanyan.
The two father-in-laws stopped at the same time, and slightly bowed towards the eighth princess, "I have seen the eighth princess of Nanyan."
The eighth princess who was about to enter the viewing tower heard the words, turned around, looked at the crowd and asked, "Who are you?"
The two officials said publicly, "These are the people who were selected for the imperial and military examinations. The two old slaves are ordered by His Majesty to take them to the viewing tower."
"Oh." The Eighth Emperor nodded, looking at the two hundred people behind, she couldn't help but asked in surprise, "So many people?"
Hearing this, the two father-in-laws looked at each other, with a flash of pride in their eyes, "Well, this year, His Majesty changed the system of imperial examinations and military examinations, so there are many talents."
There was a trace of greed in the eyes of the Eighth Emperor, "What system?"
The two father-in-laws looked at each other, with a trace of doubt in their eyes, "The eighth emperor was joking, the whole Beirong Kingdom knows about this, why do you come to ask us?"
The eighth princess nodded, "That's it, I understand, you guys go now."
"Yes, the two old slaves will leave first." After speaking, the two father-in-laws led a group of people up to the viewing tower and took their seats.
Let’s not talk about the viewing tower, let’s talk about Junli’s side.
Jun Li did not intend to bring Su Yunqing to this banquet. It can be said that all male concubines in the harem are not allowed to participate.
As for the reason, of course, the more men gather together, especially the men in the harem, it is impossible to think of accidents.
So, if you can’t let them go, don’t go.
Of course, it is also possible to bring Su Yunqing alone, but Xiao Moran will not give up. As long as that guy is here, Junli can be sure that something will happen when the time comes.
Junli tonight is wearing a silver-white dress made of flower-shaped and flowing cloud gauze, not a dragon robe.
Although tonight's banquet is considered a formal occasion, Jun Li is not the kind of person who plays by the rules. In her opinion, the dragon robes are layered on top of each other. In such a hot summer, it must be heatstroke. She is not the kind of person who does not make herself comfortable for the sake of occasion.
Out of the Cangqiong Palace, accompanied by Eunuch Yu and a few attendants, he headed for the viewing tower.
Along the way, Eunuch Yu looked at Junli's clothes and wanted to say something, but he hesitated all the time.
It wasn't until the Observation Tower was approaching that Eunuch Yu finally couldn't bear it any longer and called softly, "Your Majesty?"
Hearing this, Jun Li paused, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Say."
"I'm afraid your clothes don't suit reason." After thinking and thinking, Eunuch Yu finally opened his mouth.
Jun Li looked at him, slightly pursed his lips, "Oh, why is this unreasonable and illegal?"
Seeing that Junli didn't look angry, and since he stayed by Junli's side these days, he never saw her get angry, Eunuch Yu couldn't help but boldly said, "Dragon robes should be worn for a banquet like tonight. Your clothes are not suitable."
After finishing speaking, Jun Li suddenly laughed.
"This emperor says it is suitable, then it is suitable. Who dares to say no?"
Seeing this, Eunuch Yu silently retreated behind Junli without saying a word.
The group of people walked silently, and when they were about to reach the viewing tower, the glazed crescent moon on Junli's wrist suddenly became hot again without warning.
Frowning, he looked around, but found no one. Junli turned his head and said to Mr. Yu, "You guys wait here first, the emperor will come when he goes."
Although Eunuch Yu was puzzled, he didn't dare to say anything, so he nodded in agreement.
Junli walked to the side, the more he walked, the more intense the heat from Liuli Xinyue became.
Seeing that there was no one around, Jun Li gently rolled up his sleeves, looking at the bewitchingly beautiful glass crescent moon, he couldn't help showing a little doubt in his eyes.
Liuli Xinyue only had this kind of situation when she met two people, one was the patriarch of the Yin clan, and the other was Nangong Lingyan, the war **** of the East Yue Kingdom.
The patriarch of the Yin clan is okay to say, but Nangong Lingyan, Junli doesn't understand...
Stretched out his fingers and lightly touched the glazed crescent moon, Junli was puzzled, what was the cause of the fever this time?
Hidden patriarch? Or Nangong Lingyan? Or someone else?
Junli felt that she was getting more and more confused about Liuli Xinyue.
Walking slowly according to the feeling, I came to a gazebo.
Looking around, there is a sea of flowers all around, presumably it should be a small garden.
At this time, the bright moon was in the sky, and the silver light was falling on the ground. Everything looked so unreal.
Touched by the moonlight, the glazed crescent moon on the arm suddenly stopped cooling, and there was no movement.
Seeing this, Jun Li put down his sleeves. He looked at the night sky, turned around and left.
Suddenly, a piercing sound rang out from beside her ears, and Jun Li hurriedly backed away, only to hear the sound of "镪", and a silver-white silver gun with a cold light was thrust into the place where she had just stood.
