Black-bellied Prince: Princess Ding is 13 years old

Chapter 81

"Is it the purple orchid cauldron that can detoxify all kinds of poisons?" Bai Yu's eyes lit up. Li had once mentioned to her such a thing that was hailed as a sacred object by the world. "So, Zhe wants to participate?"

Xiao Zizhe smiled slightly and shook his head, "The benefits of the Purple Orchid Dingding are not limited to this. It is a sacred object that warriors in the world dream of. I am already the Emperor of Yongle, so it is not good to participate in such an identity, but Bi'er...as a Shunchang's new celebrity, Bai Yu, can naturally participate!"

"You want me to help you get the Zilan Shengding?"

Xiao Zizhe laughed even wider when he heard this, and lightly scratched Bai Yu's nose with his fingers, "I hope Bi'er can get it..."

The next day, Bai Yu returned to Hanfu Academy.As soon as he entered the yard, he was surrounded by a group of people.

"Oh! You're back, Brother Xiaobai, where have you been!"

"Brother Xiaobai, hurry up, sit here..."

"Brother Xiaobai, drink tea, this is the best Tieguanyin!"

Every word you say, every word I say, surrounds Bai Yu.It made Bai Yu's head dizzy from arguing.Fortunately, Zhang Liang stepped forward and said loudly, "Be quiet, don't disturb Brother Xiaobai!" Zhang Liang has fully recovered after recuperating for the past few days.Bai Yu had taken care of him before. Zhang Liang didn't want Bai Yu to be sad. He also said that he knew Bai Yu knew martial arts and wouldn't protect her.But Zhang Liang said very seriously, since Bai Yu called him big brother, then he must protect her.This gave Bai Yu a new view on this weak scholar, and his relationship with him was naturally closer than others.

Sure enough, everyone gave up their seats in embarrassment. Before Bai Yu could catch her breath, a long line of people came in from the academy, all dressed as palace officials.The eunuch at the head whispered, "Bai Yu and Zhang Liang are there?"

When everyone heard this, they all backed away, pushing Bai Yu and Zhang Liang to the front, Zhang Liang cupped his fists, "Xiaosheng and Bai Yu are both here."

The eunuch glanced at the two of them, and said, "Bai Yu Zhang Liang accepts the order!" Kneeling on the ground, Bai Yu reluctantly squatted down, covered by his robe, and no one looked up, so no one noticed. In her actions, only Zhang Liang, who was on the side, shook his head helplessly at her, saying that she was a child at heart.

"Bai Yu and Zhang Liang both performed well in the Anthology Conference and won the appreciation of the Taifu. I am very pleased. Bai and Zhang will face each other in the hall tomorrow morning. Thank you!"

"Thank you, Zhang Liang, for your majesty's grace." Standing up and receiving the imperial edict, Bai Yu stood there without any reaction. After the eunuch read out the imperial edict, he returned to the palace to return his orders.The people present saw that Bai Yu didn't say much, so they all dispersed.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, before dawn, Zhang Liang got up and asked Bai Yu to wash up and go to the pilgrimage together.Outside the gate of the Han Mansion Academy, there were already palace officials waiting to pick them up. Bai Yu was actually very reluctant to get up so early, and fell asleep with her eyes closed as soon as she got into the carriage.Zhang Liang on the side raised his mouth slightly and shook his head.

After a sound of the palace door opening and closing, the carriage stopped, and Bai Yu slowly opened her sleepy eyes, opened the door curtain, and looked out.It was already dawn, Zhang Liang and Bai Yu got out of the carriage.You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. There are also many carriages and sedan chairs gathered here, and there are many people dressed as officials walking in front.

A eunuch came over and took the two of them to the main hall of the early court.Bai Yu took this opportunity to start looking at Shunchang's palace.If it is said that Yongle's palace was built next to the mountains and was magnificent, then this Shunchang palace is completely a water pavilion, the palace is on the water, and the water surrounds the palace.Even the promenade along the way is built on the water, and there are dragon mouths next to it, spraying small beams of water springs, so pleasant!Bai Yu secretly admired such an ancient building with a southern flavor.

After walking through several palace gates, Bai Yu and Zhang Liang came to a large hall.In front of the resplendent main hall, there are ten stone lions, and the gold-plated plaque is engraved with three big characters: Xuanyuan Hall, with water curtains pouring down on both sides, so magnificent!No wonder Shunchang is so ambitious and wants to dominate the world.It can be seen from the layout of the early court hall.

All the officials entered the hall in order, but Bai Yu and the others had to wait for the summons before they could enter.A shrill announcement was made, and there was a sound of greetings from all the ministers when they met the king.

Bai Yu and Zhang Liang waited outside. After an incense stick, the little eunuch came running and told them to go in quickly.So, taking small steps and following the eunuch's announcement, Bai Yu finally walked into the Xuanyuan Hall.

The hall was indeed solemn and imposing, with more than a hundred civil and military officials standing neatly on both sides.And on the gold-plated dragon chair on the top, sitting a majestic middle-aged man, with a handsome appearance, not angry and majestic, showing domineering, it is Shunchang Luohuang.

Zhang Liang knelt down to salute, while Bai Yu still stood there without any reaction.Zhang Liang secretly tugged at the corner of Bai Yu's clothes, sweating for her.

Everyone else in the court hall heaved a sigh of relief, is this young man stupid?Seeing the emperor is not polite?It's a pity that he looks so handsome, I'm afraid he will be pulled out and beheaded soon.Seeing this, the man on the dragon chair snorted coldly, "Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

The Grand Tutor in the hall clenched his fists tightly, and also sweated for Bai Yu.Crown Prince Luo Jin stared at Bai Yu closely, his eyes dark.

But Bai Yu herself was not afraid, "I only worship my own king!"

Bai Yu's words of being neither humble nor overbearing made the emperor of Shunchang look sideways.This little boy stood out at the literary anthology conference. He was recommended many times by the crown prince and Taifu, and possessed extremely high martial arts. He was indeed a good person, but his face did not change. I?"

Everyone in the hall was so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.But Bai Yu himself did not change his face, and said leisurely: "Birds and beasts choose good trees to live in. Since ancient times, kings have chosen virtuous ministers, but people with insight should naturally choose wise emperors to assist the people. To serve a master casually is not only to be sorry for what I have learned, but also to violate the gift of heaven!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers present were so frightened that they couldn't stand up anymore, but Luo Huang felt that what Bai Yu said was somewhat reasonable and courageous.Isn't this the kind of people that Shunchang court lacks?But his brows were slightly frowned, and he said majesticly, "So, do you think that I am not a wise king and not worthy of your allegiance?"
