All the princes and kings sit on the left side.

On the left, opposite the four major sects.

The princes and kings had just sat down for a while when the eunuch at the door shouted.

"play music!"

"Your Majesty is coming to Chaoyang Palace!"

Immediately, all the warriors, civil and military officials, the four major sects, and the princes and kings stood up and looked respectfully at the Chaoyang Palace gate.

The solemn Chinese music was played, and a majestic atmosphere spread in all directions, shaking thousands of miles.

Bai Huatian led a group of princes and princesses, including Bai Xiaoxiao, Bai Zhiyuan, the fifth princess, the second prince and all the royal family members, into the Chaoyang Palace, directly climbed onto the dragon throne and sat down.

All the princes and princesses sat at the bottom of the dragon chair.

"Excuse me for all of you"

After Bai Huatian sat down, he smiled and shouted.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked directly at Lingjian Sect and felt relieved. Seeing that Lin Bai was back safely, she felt relieved and nodded slightly to Lin Bai.

Bai Zhiyuan looked at Lin Bai with a smile.

Lin Bai smiled in response.

"Is there anyone else who hasn't come?"

After Bai Huatian sat down, he looked around and saw that the seat of Prince Qi was vacant on the prince's seat, so he asked coldly.

Bai Huatian naturally knew that Prince Qi's Mansion didn't come, but as the emperor of the Shenwu Kingdom, he naturally couldn't directly ask why Prince Qi's Mansion didn't come.

If you ask, it is tantamount to telling everyone that the Qi Palace does not give the royal family face.

"Your Majesty, Prince Qi's residence has not arrived yet." The eunuch in charge said tremblingly.

Bai Huatian's face turned a little cold.

Some ministers loyal to the royal family said angrily: "Prince Qi is really getting more and more outrageous. He actually dares to ask His Majesty to wait for him!"

At this moment, the eunuch at the entrance of the palace shouted: "Prince Qi's Mansion has arrived."

Prince Qi, Qi Rui, and a group of general geniuses walked quickly into Chaoyang Palace.

Prince Qi said with a guilty look on his face: "Your Majesty, please calm down. My son just came back from the Qitian Mountains, so he nursed back to health, which wasted time, so he came late."

Bai Huatian sneered and said: "It doesn't matter. The son of Prince Qi is a dragon and a phoenix among people, so it doesn't matter. Hehe."

Bai Huatian sneered: "Take a seat."

"Yes." Prince Qi smiled slightly proudly and sat in his seat.

"Oh, Prince Qi actually walked behind His Majesty. Is this a demonstration to the royal family?"

"Yes, this is obviously because Prince Qi feels that he is more important than His Majesty, so he has to appear late."

"However, Prince Qi, an old fox, was very accurate. He came in right after His Majesty sat down. When he came in a little later, the state banquet started. By then, His Majesty did not wait for him, so it seemed that he was not important. It’s like a slap in the face.”

"Who says it's not? This time is just right."

Many civil and military officials whispered in low voices.

As they said, Prince Qi's Mansion was demonstrating to the royal family.

When entering Chaoyang Palace, people are ranked according to their dignity.

First there were wealthy merchants, then officials, then the four major sects, then princes, generals and ministers, and finally the emperor.

And Prince Qi's Mansion deliberately entered the venue after the Emperor. Doesn't this mean that Prince Qi's Mansion is more noble than the Emperor?

Prince Qi heard the whispers of the people around him, and there was a trace of pride on his face.

Qi Rui also smiled happily.

This was the original intention of Prince Qi's Mansion, to give the royal family a show of strength.

The royal family must know that this Shenwu Kingdom is no longer under his control.

Bai Huatian swept Prince Qi's eyes coldly, calming down the anger in his heart.

Bai Huatian immediately stood up, raised his voice and said, "In that case, let's start the state banquet. Let's serve the food."

The delicacies at the state banquet are carefully prepared by the imperial dining room for several months.

Exquisite and strange, all kinds of delicacies were brought out one by one by the beautiful maids and placed in front of all the warriors.

Almost all wealthy businessmen and civil and military officials came to eat the delicacies at the state banquet.

Because wealthy businessmen were not good at martial arts, civil and military officials were also disqualified from participating, so they all had to eat.

Especially for wealthy businessmen, it is already a great honor to receive an invitation to the state banquet. Being able to eat delicious food at the state banquet and see the younger generation of the Shenwu Kingdom compete in martial arts is a lifelong bragging rights for them.

In the harmonious music and rituals, after three rounds of wine.

Sudden.

Chu Jiangliu stood up from his seat, held the wine glass, and walked respectfully to the field.

"It's the little baby from Prince Chu's palace. Well, he's grown taller." Bai Huatian recognized Chu Jiangliu and said with a smile.

Chu Jiangliu looked extremely serious and serious. He looked at Bai Huatian and the eldest princess with a wine glass in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to wish our Shenwu Kingdom good weather and long-lasting mountains and rivers."

"Secondly, I want to thank Princess Ichiban."

Bai Huatian frowned. Bai Huatian could understand the first half of the sentence, but he couldn't understand the second half.

What does it mean to thank the eldest princess?

You must know that the current Chu Prince's Mansion is second only to Qi Prince's Mansion among the princes and kings.

The Prince of Qi's Mansion tried every possible means to annex the Prince of Chu's Mansion, but they never succeeded.

"Thank me?" Bai Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully.

Chu Jiangliu said seriously: "I can't repay the eldest princess's life-saving grace. If Her Highness the eldest princess hadn't seen everything clearly, I might have died at the hands of a treacherous villain."

"I, Chu Jiangliu, can't repay this kindness. If the eldest princess comes to my palace in the future, just ask."

"Prince Chu, although his status is humble, he is willing to fight for the eldest princess and charge into battle!"

hiss--

Hearing Chu Jiangliu's words.

Bai Huatian and the eldest princess were both dumbfounded.

The other civil and military officials also looked horrified.

Muttering voices rang out: "Chu Jiangliu looks like he wants to represent the Chu Palace and stand in the royal camp."

"Yes, Prince Chu's Palace is still neutral now. If it favors the royal family, then Prince Qi's Palace will probably explode with anger."

"Hey, why did Prince Chu let his son act so randomly!"

Qi Rui and Prince Qi were dumbfounded when they saw Chu Jiangliu coming out.

Prince Qi looked at Qi Rui blankly, his eyes seeming to say: Shouldn't he be in the dungeon in the Qitian Mountains?

Qi Rui also shook his head in confusion and said: I don’t know either.

Immediately, Qi Rui sent his servants to rush to the Qitian Mountains to ask Qi Fang what was going on.

Little did Qi Rui know that Qi Fang was drinking with the King of Hell in the King of Hell's Palace.

When Bai Huatian heard Chu Jiangliu's words, he stood up from the dragon chair excitedly and said seriously: "Nephew Chu, it is really rare for you to have such a heart to protect your family and country."

"Okay, come and reward me!"

Bai Huatian laughed happily.

At this time, Prince Qi's face looked a little ugly. If Prince Chu's Palace really sided with the royal family, although it would not be able to increase the strength of the royal family, Prince Chu's Palace would still be a very sharp sword after all.

If the royal family used it well, the sword of the Prince of Chu's Palace would probably hit the behemoth of the Prince of Qi's Palace with a heavy blow.

Prince Qi laughed and said, "Haha, Prince Chu, I'm afraid you are drunk. Go back quickly."

Chu Jiangliu glanced at Prince Qi and Qi Rui coldly, and said with a smile: "I'm not drunk. I didn't even drink a sip of wine. How can I say I'm drunk."

Prince Qi was stunned when he heard this, his face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then what you said, can it represent the Chu Palace?"

"Huh? Prince Chu, are you just going to let your son act like this and ruin the centuries-old foundation of your Prince Chu's palace?"

Prince Qi glared at Prince Chu in Prince Chu's Mansion angrily.

Prince Chu was an old man. Hearing Prince Qi's voice, he stood up with a solemn and serious face, walked to Chu Jiangliu's side, clasped his fists and spoke to Bai Huatian.

Bai Huatian looked at Prince Chu with excitement, looking forward to what he would say.

Because Bai Huatian knew that Prince Chu's Mansion was a sword, an extremely sharp sword. If he used it well, he would give Prince Qi's Mansion a heavy blow.

Prince Chu said: "Your Majesty, Liu'er's words represent the Prince of Chu's palace!"

Wow——

The whole place was in an uproar.

Prince Chu's words were like a huge stone smashed into a pool of water.

The Prince of Chu's Mansion is firmly siding with the royal family!

Chu Jiangliu said gratefully to his father: "Thank you, father."

Being able to get the support of Prince Chu made Chu Jiangliu particularly happy.

Although Prince Chu knew that Chu Jiangliu had been captured by Prince Qi's palace before, he did not know that Chu Jiangliu was going to declare his allegiance to the eldest princess on the spot at the state banquet.

Although Prince Chu was shocked by his sudden words, Prince Chu still chose to support Chu Jiangliu.

Prince Qi was so angry that his teeth were itching. He gritted his teeth, stood up, glared at Prince Chu and said, "Prince Chu, think twice! Think about the century-old foundation of your Prince Chu's mansion, think about it carefully."

Prince Chu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Prince Qi, I have already thought about it carefully. Your Majesty, I am old and unable to lift the sword, let alone accompany your Majesty in the battle."

"Now, it's time to hand over Prince Chu's Mansion to the younger generation."

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen bids you farewell. I also ask for Your Majesty's permission for Wei Chen to retire and return to his hometown. At the same time, he will pass on the title of Prince Chu to my son, Chu Jiangliu!"

When Bai Huatian heard what Prince Chu said, he was so surprised that he stood up from the dragon chair.

"Chu Xiang! You want to leave me?" Bai Huatian said angrily: "I can't allow it! You are still in your prime, and your arms still have the power to lift the sky, how can you say you should quit?"

Prince Chu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I don't want to leave you. If Your Majesty calls you, I will be willing to wear armor and go into battle. It's just that it's time to hand over this stage to the young people."

"Chu Jiangliu is a child that Your Majesty has watched grow up. His loyalty to the Shenwu Kingdom is no less than that of an old minister."

"I also ask for your majesty's permission for Chu Jiangliu to inherit the title of Prince Chu's Mansion."

Prince Chu knelt down, kowtowed and said.

After hearing this, Chu Jiangliu was stunned for a moment, looking at his father in surprise.

Will Prince Chu give way?

"Father..." There was a trace of mist in Chu Jiangliu's eyes.

Prince Chu looked at Chu Jiangliu with a smile and said with a smile: "Liu'er, from now on, Prince Chu's Mansion will be handed over to you. You must remember what you said today and protect the mountains and rivers of our Shenwu Kingdom forever."

Chu Jiangliu nodded heavily with tears in his eyes.

Seeing the determination on Prince Chu's face, Bai Huatian sighed helplessly and said, "Well, since you insist on saying goodbye, I won't stop you. If you want to come back one day, I will give you a banquet."

"Your title in Prince Chu's Mansion should be inherited by Chu Jiangliu."

"Chu Jiangliu, are you willing to command the millions of elite soldiers of Prince Chu's palace?"

Bai Huatian asked.

Chu Jiangliu said firmly: "I am willing."

Prince Qi stood aside silently. Hearing these words, his teeth were itching with anger! A pair of sharp eyes stared at Prince Chu, as if he wanted to eat Prince Chu alive with his eyes.

Prince Chu's Mansion surrendered to the royal family, which was not good news for Prince Qi's Mansion!
