Chapter 157 Goodbye
The royal palace of Dachu is called Tianyuan Palace.
Tianyuan Palace is extremely huge. Compared with Dayan's Longxiang Palace, it is like a three-story courtyard of a rich man in the countryside. It has neither style nor style to speak of.
When Wei Lai came to the Qiankun Gate of Tianyuan Palace, he couldn't help but feel this feeling when he looked at the towering palace gate.
In front of the Qiankun Gate of Tianyuan Palace, a crowd of people surging.
Wei Lai was not surprised by this. The envoys sent by Li Chenghuang yesterday had already told Wei that today was the day when Emperor Chu met with all parties. After all, for a country like the Great Chu, there were envoys from all over the place every day. It was not surprising that Wei Lai, the identity of the King of Wei, was caught in it. With the busyness of Emperor Chu, naturally he would not arrange extra time to meet a Gentile prince.
Wei Lai was not in a hurry, standing there quietly, waiting for the summons in the palace. In this leisure time, he looked at the people around him who were also waiting.
These people are dressed in different outfits, including envoys wearing official robes, and people from the Jianghu sects equipped with swords and swords. However, almost every one of them is extraordinary. I think they are all outstanding people in their respective realms, but outside the Tianyuan Palace of Great Chu, they have to queue up in a regular manner, which shows the strength of Great Chu.
"Prince!"
"The State of Jin, the Guirong envoy entered the palace to give advice!"
At this time, a sharp voice came from the palace gate of Qiankun Gate, and two people from the crowd emerged from the crowd.
One side wore a traditional official robe from the Central Plains and had a pretty figure. At first glance, he was a Confucian scholar, but the other side wore a velvet robe, tall and big, and dark skin. He looked like there were more warriors fighting on the battlefield than envoys who sent other countries.
Both sides walked out and looked at each other, and saw deep hostility in each other's eyes, and then followed the eunuchs responsible for the guidance into the depths of the palace gate.
These days, Guirong and Jin State in the east were fighting with the fertile land near the Daquan River Basin. Da Chu stepped forward to mediate, and guessed that the two countries arrived at the Chu Palace Gate here, and this should be the case.
It was just a war between the two countries, and at that time, the soldiers who drank blood and piled up bones.
If there was no explanation that satisfies both sides, or a strong enough shock, such a thing would not be able to be settled by some verbal disputes. Wei Lai thought about this in his heart and was secretly curious about how Da Chu would solve this matter.
Time passed quickly, from the envoys of Jin and Guirong to the various sects to give advice and gifts, time had already come from morning to noon.
Wei Lai frowned. Logically speaking, as King of Wei, his identity was not as good as that of the envoys of various countries, but in terms of legal etiquette, he was still not summoned by his name until then.
Wei Lai didn't care about these erudite people, he just felt that it was abnormal and there might be variables.
"You guys, wait for a long time in front of the door. Today is the day after the New Year. After the first time my emperor met with all the envoys. Things are busy and negligent. I hope you can forgive me."
"It's noon now, and my emperor is holding a banquet for you in the palace. As soon as we come, we will entertain you. There are also great happy events to announce to you and share them with you!"
"Now, please follow me to the palace for the banquet."
The eunuch's sharp voice sounded again at the entrance of the palace gate, and the crowd began to rush towards the palace gate.
Wei Lai followed the crowd and heard people whispering, asking what the eunuchs said about the so-called "great joyful event".
But Wei Lai couldn't help but look a little strange. He thought to himself that this matter might refer to his marriage with Li Chenghuang...
But he thought that Emperor Chu was the sister who loved him so much that he had to have many considerations in this major life event. How could he just agree easily? Wei Lai didn't know whether his guess was right or wrong, but his mood was still a bit complicated.
But as he said himself, in order to find those people, he was willing to pay any price and do something against his heart.
...
Even before this, Wei Lai had already prepared enough for the prosperity of the Great Chu, but after stepping into the Tianyuan Palace, Wei Lai could not help but feel shocked.
After entering Qiankun Gate, there was a wide and long road. There were guards wearing golden armor and swords on both sides of the road. Wei Lai could feel a dangerous aura from them. Obviously, none of these guards were ordinary people. The road was paved with white jade and cleaned up spotlessly. There were countless towers on both sides that were often more than ten feet high. The purpose was unknown, but they were magnificent.
This kind of formation was something Wei Lai had never seen before. He seemed to be secretly shocked all the way and had a new understanding of the power of this Great Chu.
Soon, the group followed the eunuchs and guards to a magnificent hall.
The main hall is not as tall as the towers before, but extremely wide. At the first glance, Wei Lai felt that this palace might be as huge as thousands of people. Wei Lai looked up and saw a plaque hanging in front of the door of the hall with the word "Noi Xiong".
The eunuchs and maids stood at the door of the palace, asking about the identity of the visitor, and then guided them according to their respective identities to the seats that had been arranged for them.
The people of the Dachu Palace were surprisingly efficient. The thousands of people waiting outside the hall gate were led to their respective positions in just a quarter of an hour.
It was Wei Lai's turn soon. The palace maid in charge of the guidance asked Wei Lai's identity in a low voice. After Wei Lai reported his name, Wei Lai could clearly feel the palace maid's face changed, and then his body was very low, leading Wei Lai through the dense crowd in front of him and towards the front of the hall.
Everyone couldn't help but cast strange eyes at Wei Lai, and secretly inquire about Wei Lai's identity - the state banquet at the Great Chu Palace was of great significance, and the guests' seats depended to a large extent on the other party's identity.
Wei Lai was obviously a strange face to everyone present, and he didn't look very old, but judging from the posture of the palace servant, Wei Lai's seats seemed to be very high.
Wei Lai had long expected this. Under the surprised gaze of everyone, his face walked all the way to the front of the entire hall, even before the royal family and ministers.
Wei Lai sat calmly under the gaze of everyone, and was about to look at the Emperor Chu on the high platform.
But at this moment, from the corner of his eyes, he suddenly glanced at a figure slanted behind him. He should have never met the figure, but for some reason, when he saw the other person clearly, his body trembled suddenly and could no longer turn his gaze away.
He looked at the other person with a dull expression and muttered a name out of his mouth.
"Xu Yue..."
