Huangxiu

Chapter 74: Offering Horses
The Dajing Palace is brightly lit.

Inside the Fengtian Hall, the ox candles were burning brightly, making it as bright as day.

The floor is paved with golden tiles, shining as if they were real gold, and complementing the carved beams and painted buildings above, it is extremely gorgeous.

Sandalwood tables carved with cloud patterns and flowers were neatly arranged in two rows from north to south to the entrance of the main hall.

The sandalwood table was filled with exquisite and luxurious bowls and plates, as white as jade, crystal clear and moist, with various flower patterns, flower groups, landscapes, and longevity paintings painted on them.

The bowls and plates were filled with all kinds of delicacies.

There were all kinds of aromas, including venison, beef, and even some low-level monster meat, which mixed together to create a strong impact.

There were people sitting behind the table at this time.

The emperor sat in the north, with the dignified and beautiful queen beside him, and they were at a table alone.

On the left are the princes and crown princes, and below them are the princes, dukes, earls, marquises, and then the female relatives.

On the right is the Dazhen delegation, with Prince Eagle at the top, followed by two grand masters, then Cheng Tianfeng, and then various officials.

In the center of the hall, there was a group of beauties singing and dancing. Their dancing was graceful and their voices sounded like the sounds of nature, attracting everyone's attention.

But the disadvantage of arranging the tables neatly is that it is obvious at a glance. Everyone can see the empty seats, which clearly shows that not all people are there.

In particular, there is an empty seat at the first table on the west side, and it is the top seat.

Amid the singing and dancing, Chu Minghou, Bai Ningshuang, Chu Yi, Chu Zhiyuan and their family of four tiptoed in and went to their seats.

Chu Minghou sat at the front, in the empty seat at the top on the west side.

He raised his head to the north at the emperor and saw a smile on his gaunt face. His clear eyes just glanced at him and then turned to the singing and dancing, and he quickly sat down.

He had already paid a visit to the emperor since the lifting of the ban, and more than once or twice. Each time, the emperor's expression was always indifferent and distant.

He knew that the emperor obviously disliked him, and when he saw that the emperor was not acting strangely, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Zhiyuan had just sat down when Chu Mingxuan poked his head over from across the table, then quietly stood up and came to his side: "Old Four, why are you here so late?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I was just practicing."

"Are you sure?" Chu Mingxuan looked at the opposite side, especially Cheng Tianfeng at the second table.

Cheng Tianfeng had a calm expression and looked very similar to Chu Zhiyuan in temperament. One could tell at first glance that he was not going to be easy to deal with.

If he was defeated in front of so many people, it would be a huge disgrace. Not only would he lose face for himself, but also for the entire Dajing and the royal family!

This responsibility is too heavy.

"Do your best." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

As he spoke, he held a flying dragon bone in each of his sleeves.

The Dragon Transformation Art surges and surging, constantly absorbing the breath of the flying dragon bones, strengthening its own breath and thus strengthening its own bones.

Talking did not hinder his practice.

"Yes, there is no need to be too hard on yourself. Just do your best." Chu Mingxuan patted his shoulder and returned to his seat.

There were three other princes at his table. They came over to ask, but Chu Mingxuan waved his hand.

Then Chu Zhiting, Chu Zhichuan and others came over to ask Chu Zhiyuan, and Chu Zhiyuan could only say it again.

Others looked over and felt strange.

Since when did the prince of Prince Qing's Mansion become so popular? Everyone ran over to greet him and talk to him.

Most of them didn't receive the message and didn't know the reason.

But I look at it sideways because I feel it is abrupt and the changes are too fast. I wonder if I have missed something.

The people who sat back down talked about it.

"Fourth brother will definitely win."

"Fourth brother, you are obviously sure when you say this."

"Fourth brother is a person who seeks stability."

……

They were talking about it, and so were others.

The women at the table were especially curious and came to Bai Ningshuang's table to ask what was going on.

Xiao Ruoling was also there, being pulled to her table by Bai Ningshuang.

"Sister Bai, the Fourth Prince is indeed extraordinary. He is a seed of cultivation."

"You have such good aptitude and a bright future. Ning Shuang, just wait to enjoy the good life." Bai Ningshuang smiled happily after hearing these words.

"Ling'er, you are also a blessed person."

Xiao Ruoling smiled embarrassedly.

Chu Yi came close to Xiao Ruoling and lowered his voice: "Sister-in-law, why did the emperor grandfather insist that my eldest brother attend, and let Huang Cheng come to greet him, it's very strange."

She felt something was wrong.

Huang Cheng is not an ordinary eunuch, so it is suspicious that he went there specifically to invite their family.

Xiao Ruoling blushed a little when she called her sister-in-law.

Chu Yi continued, "And the eldest brother's expression is also unusual, as if something big has happened."

Although she was innocent, she was actually very sensitive and could sense Chu Zhiyuan's seriousness.

Originally, I came to this palace dinner just to join in the fun, but why is my brother so serious, as if something big has happened?

Xiao Ruoling's deep eyes flickered, becoming more and more mysterious and charming.

Chu Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

Xiao Ruoling gently tugged at her sleeves and said softly, "Let's wait and see. Maybe there will be something important to be announced at this banquet, and it may be news that we don't know about."

"I hope so." Chu Yi regained consciousness, held Xiao Ruoling's jade hand, and said with emotion: "Brother is so lucky."

Xiao Ruoling chuckled.

This sister-in-law is innocent, kind, gentle, lively and smart, which is really rare.

Whichever family you marry into in the future will be blessed by that family.

-

At this time, the singing and dancing stopped, and the beauties in gauze clothes retreated lightly.

Cheng Tianfeng stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, we are here on the orders of the Emperor Dazhen to form a lasting friendship. We are presenting the gift that the Emperor personally selected."

"Oh, what is it?" The emperor Chu Qingquan, who was sitting in the north, smiled faintly: "You may as well present it."

Cheng Tianfeng clapped his hands twice.

A young man sitting at the last seat of the Dazhen delegation stood up and left the hall. Soon a huge iron cage appeared in the hall.

Twenty strong men carried a huge iron cage into the hall.

Inside the iron cage, two golden horses stood quietly, their four eyes looking around smartly, and the scales on their bodies looked like they were wearing golden armor.

"These are the divine horses of the Heavenly Dragon, one male and one female, which can give birth to foals. They are our great treasures, and we specially present them to Your Majesty."

“Tianlong Shenma…” Chu Qingquan nodded slightly: “Brother Cheng is thoughtful.”

This divine dragon horse is indeed a treasure. Those monsters cannot be released outside. They are brutal by nature and feed on humans.

Even the monsters with rare bloodlines in Xiao Chixia Mountain cannot be released outside, as they are still not something that ordinary martial arts masters can deal with.

It is extremely difficult to hybridize monsters with ordinary wild beasts, because the monster bloodline is overbearing and ordinary beasts cannot withstand it and cannot give birth to offspring.

Therefore, it is rare to see a hybrid of dragon and horse like the Tianlong Shenma.

It has both the power of a monster and the gentleness of a normal horse, and is truly a treasure.

Cheng Tianfeng smiled and said, "But there is a problem. These two heavenly dragon horses are not tamed, and are extremely difficult to tame. Even the Grand Master can only restrain them but cannot tame them."

Chu Qingquan asked, "Could it be that no one in Dazhen can tame it?"

"We haven't found anyone who can tame them yet, so even my master can't do anything about it." Cheng Tianfeng shook his head and sighed, "If we can't tame them, and just keep them imprisoned, they will die of their own accord in a month."

He turned his head and looked at the people opposite him, and said with a smile: "You are all great talents, I wonder if you can tame these two dragon horses?"

Chu Qingquan smiled and shook his head: "Sir, if Dazhen can't do it, Dajing may not be able to do it either. It's better to just let them go. They are also divine objects between heaven and earth. Don't waste them like this."

"Of course, it's up to your majesty how to deal with it." Cheng Tianfeng smiled and said, "It's just a pity for your majesty."

Chu Qingquan smiled.

The princes and sons of the royal family opposite looked unhappy.

They all saw Cheng Tianfeng's provocative intention.
