I have an inn in Xianxia

Chapter 114 Palace Exam
Living in the place arranged by Jing Jiao, Lu Cheng was very strange. Not only did Jing Jiao not come to look for him during this time, even the people from the prince's mansion also didn't come, but he also ended up clean. Anyway, after completing the task tomorrow, he will return to the inn .

As everyone knows, many major events happened in the entire imperial city that night.

The little princess Jing Jiao is under house arrest in the palace, which is the queen's bedroom.

Since ancient times, emperors have had three thousand beauties, but the king of the Fire Kingdom has no heirs, and no one can pass on the family line. After giving birth to the little princess, he even lost his fertility.

No one in the Fire Kingdom can establish a crown prince, and all hopes are placed on the future son-in-law.

The queen's daughter is the eldest princess, and now she has found a son-in-law, and she will get married in the near future, and there will be hopes of seizing power by then.

The Huo Kingdom has a strong style of writing, and it values ​​talented people extremely. The little princess didn't love talented people since she was a child, so the eldest princess didn't look down on her.

But it is different these days. No one in the entire imperial city knows that the person favored by the little princess has known others, and the poems he wrote have been preserved as classics and recorded in the annals of history. This made the eldest princess feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Naturally, the queen would not sit idly by, and invited Jing Jiao with an excuse, and then put him under house arrest in the bedroom.

The monarch prefers little princesses, everyone knows that, they don't dare to do anything to Jing Jiao, but they can make their minds on others.

For example, give the man in the limelight a rebel title.

In the palace.

Jingyi waited in the prince's bedroom.

"In the past few days, he has been too popular, and he has been in contact with the little princess again. The queen will not let the situation develop like this. Even if this person is a talent, he is not worthy of our wooing. It is time to get rid of the relationship and prepare for me. Let’s enter the palace in sedan chair.”

"My lord, where are we going, Jingyi will send someone to report first."

"No need, the queen and I have already made an appointment."

The wind and rain are coming, and the wind is gradually forming, but Lu Cheng still doesn't know anything, and he doesn't understand the way of power at all.

The night passed.

Lu Cheng stretched his waist and rolled his eyes at Shi Huo who was reciting aloud. If it wasn't for this guy's voice, he would still be able to sleep for a while.

Shi Huo noticed Lu Cheng who had just woken up, his high voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Lu Cheng with admiration.

"Brother Lu, I really admire you. Today is a big day for the imperial examination. Shi can't sleep all night, but you can sleep until the sun is up, Brother Lu."

"Isn't it just a palace test? There's nothing to be excited about." Lu Cheng curled his lips, "If you want money, the mansion in the south of the city is yours."

What Lu Cheng was referring to was the Duan family's residence, which now belongs to him.

"This great gift, Shi can't bear it." Shi Huo hurriedly shook his head, "Brother Lu, do you know that the content of this palace exam is different from the usual exam."

"Oh? What's the difference?"

"The usual exams are all poetry, but the palace exam is different. I told you on the way when I came here that vocal music has been popular in the past two years. This is what is tested in the palace exam."

"Vocal music?" Lu Cheng asked suspiciously, "Damn it, it's just singing."

Regarding this point, Lu Cheng was a little speechless. He could understand the fact that he was an official in the Huo Kingdom, but it would be too childish to put the vocal music in the last column.

"Brother Lu, I know you have excellent literary talent, but vocal music has nothing to do with literary talent."

Shi Huo began to tell what he knew, and told Lu Cheng to be careful. Zhao Wencai, known as the number one talent in the Fire Kingdom, will also appear in the palace examination this time to confront Lu Cheng.

"Damn, do you want to dance and sing with me? Brother Maiba's character is not for nothing."

"Brother Lu, what does Maiba mean?"

"The King of Songs! An artistic conception that you can't understand, has been pulled into the forbidden list by KTV."

The two were chatting, and someone informed him that they could enter the palace.

The road test is a major event in the Fire Kingdom, and the palace test is even more serious. As soon as Lu Cheng and the two left their residence, they saw the red carpet that had been laid, leading directly from their place to the Golden Luan Hall.

Normally, the red carpet would have been rolled out from outside the palace, but this year is so special, only two people took the exam.

Along the way, many court ladies and eunuchs lined up in rows.

Lu Cheng had a feeling that he was the star walking the red carpet.

He had never felt this kind of feeling before, he just felt dizzy and buoyant for a while, and now he was in front of the palace.

Standing in front of you is a majestic and resplendent palace, which is the main hall of the imperial palace.

Extending down from the front of the hall, there are hundreds of densely packed stone steps. If you want to enter the hall, you have to go up these steps first.

Look again, on the top of the palace, the golden glazed tiles are shining brightly.

The entire palace itself is filled with a sense of majesty.

The eunuch's shrill voice sounded, announcing to the inside.

Then there was the sound of a horn, and both of them felt a boom in their ears. Then, under the eunuch's signal, they walked up the stone steps until they entered the palace.

Only when he arrived here did Lu Cheng realize how extravagant the construction of the palace was. The entire palace was inlaid with gold and all kinds of jasper were inlaid in it.

As soon as he stepped into the gate, Lu Cheng felt a majestic gaze staring at him.

Subconsciously handing over to the other party, what kind of gaze is this.

Wisdom, seems to see through everything.

Majesty, people can't lift their heads in front of it.

Domineering, as if he is the master of the world.

This is the temperament of the king of a country, which has been cultivated in the upper position for a long time.

Lu Cheng was slightly stunned, and then he began to look at the person on the throne.

He once heard from Shi Huo that the monarch is only in his 50s, but he looks very old at this time, and his majestic face is full of wrinkles. If a working people, it is not easy to have such a face in his 50s. strangeness.

But you must know that this is the king of a country. It seems that he is already terminally ill. Otherwise, with the power of a country, he would have been healed long ago, and the inn would not have given such a way to cure the disease through medicinal food.

The people in the seat were a little surprised, this was the first young man who was so calm after meeting his eyes.

This kind of person is either very nervous or has experienced strong winds and waves.

Listening to his works, it is absolutely impossible to belong to the strong, so we can only be sure that this young man is not simple.

Unlike Lu Cheng, who was able to look up and down, Shi Huo's legs were already shaking. As a native of Huo Nation, he felt oppressed when meeting the king.

The monarch spoke.

"Don't be nervous, today's palace exam, I'm just an observer, it's not me who really wants to test you."

The monarch's voice fell, and footsteps could be heard behind the gate. From Lu Cheng's perspective, a group of people came slowly, some familiar and some unfamiliar.

Jing Ning and Jing Yi sat on the seat under the monarch.

The queen and the eldest princess sit beside the monarch.

Other high-ranking officials also came and sat on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Wencai also came, wearing a white robe and holding a folding fan. He first greeted everyone present, and then stood in front of Lu Cheng with a provocative look.

"The palace examination is about vocal music, and the two opponents are Mr. Zhao." The chief eunuch said.
