Douluo: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 37 Birthday Banquet
Dugu Bo was very satisfied to see Jiang Li agreed. It was just a birthday, what could go wrong? Besides, even if something happened, he would be there to block it. If it was in the past, it might have been a little difficult, but now, my, Dugu Bo's poison might not be a problem.

.........

a week later.

Today is the 50th birthday of Emperor Shang Xueye. As the emperor of one of the two great empires, a luxurious banquet will naturally be held on this important day. No matter how big or small the forces in Tiandou City are, they will not give up such an opportunity. Those who cannot go will give gifts, and those who can go will prepare a valuable gift.

This is the birthday of Emperor Xue Ye. Almost all the prestigious nobles in the empire will receive an invitation. It is also a rare opportunity for the younger generations of the clan to broaden their horizons and expand their network. There are even many who take this opportunity to arrange marriages.

After passing through a small woods, an elegant and majestic palace is hidden behind the dense forest.

This is where the banquet is held.

The person in charge of the banquet was a handsome and gentle young man. He looked to be in his twenties, and his casual clothes were very ordinary. He was a little conspicuous here, but he had a special temperament. Or even if he was wearing tattered clothes, he could feel noble.

And this young man is none other than the current crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe, or Qian Renxue.

"Your Highness, the guests have been arranged."

She seemed to be twenty-seven or eight years old, but her eyes seemed to see everything in the world, which was definitely not comparable to that of a twenty-seven or eight-year-old woman.

The silver palace dress looks so perfect on her. In terms of temperament,

Xue Qinghe hurriedly returned the gift, "Aunt Yuehua, what are you doing? This junior cannot bear this."

Tang Yuehua laughed and said, "Don't always call me auntie, I'm the youngest?"

"Not old." Xue Qinghe said with a smile.

The woman was Tang Yuehua, the master of Yuexuan, the third lady of Haotian Sect, and Tang San's aunt.

As the owner of Yuexuan, Tang Yuehua is also an excellent teacher and did not waste this excellent opportunity.

As the Tiandou Empire's court etiquette school, those who can enter Yuexuan to study must at least have a noble title and must not be over 30 years old. Undoubtedly, this is the place to train a new generation of nobles in the Tiandou Empire.

But these students are undoubtedly still young, and arranging them to receive guests this time not only exercises their abilities, but also allows these students to expand their network.

After all, all the important figures of the Tiandou Empire are here this time, and I believe they will not miss this banquet and will bring the younger generation along as well.

In the evening, inside Dugu Mansion, Dugu Bo and the other two were getting ready to set off.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to look so handsome in this outfit." Dugu Yan exclaimed as she looked at Jiang Li in front of her.

At this time, Jiang Li was wearing a green robe with the sleeves and hem outlined with gold thread. With his exquisite face and light blue hair, he could only be described as a jade-like gentleman, unparalleled in the world.

"It's okay, just average." Jiang Li said modestly.

This dress was custom-made by Dugu Bo after Jiang Li decided to go to the birthday party. The store had a very good reputation and almost all the important people in Tiandou City ordered from there. As a result, Jiang Li waited for a week before it was done.

"Yours is not bad either." Jiang Li praised Dugu Yan while looking at her clothes.

"What do you mean the clothes are nice? It's because of my natural beauty." Dugu Yan said proudly after hearing Jiang Li's compliment.

Dugu Yan was wearing a black dress, which was also custom-made. The black dress outlined Dugu Yan's figure perfectly, with her slender waist, delicate collarbone, and long and round legs. Combined with Dugu Yan's exquisite face and black hair, she looked unattainable.

"Haha, you two stop messing around, it's time to go." Dugu Bo urged with a smile.

Dugu Bo didn't care much about it, because he was a Titled Douluo, so it was good enough for him to go, why bother wearing a formal suit.

Then the three of them left Dugu Mansion with some gifts and went to the palace. Soon they arrived at the gate of the palace. At this time, the gate of the palace was heavily guarded, and every guest had to go through a careful inspection.

Because there were too many guests, the three of them had to queue.

"Please show me the invitation!"

Soon Dugu Bo and his two companions arrived, and the guard at the door symbolically asked Dugu Bo for an invitation.

An invitation? It's just a gesture. After all, the person coming here is not a well-known person. Plus, Emperor Xue Ye also cares about his reputation, so this happened.

Dugu Bo was not surprised. He took out the invitation from his arms and handed it to the guard. The guard took it, took a look and confirmed it was correct, then said, "The worshiper Dugu Bo came to congratulate you."

After the guard finished shouting, he returned the invitation to Dugu Bo and then opened the gate of the palace.

"Let's go." Dugu Bo put away the invitation and took Jiang Li and the others into the palace.

The three of them then entered the palace and placed the gifts at the door before leaving.

Entering the palace, Jiang Li was shocked to find himself in a spacious hall. A gorgeous chandelier hung from the towering ceiling, emitting a soft and bright light. The floor was covered with soft carpets, and every step seemed to be on the clouds.

The courtyard of the palace is shaded by green trees and filled with the fragrance of flowers. The fountain sprinkles crystal water drops under the night sky, as if adding vitality and vigor to the palace. The rockery, pond, pavilions and towers in the courtyard complement each other, forming a beautiful picture.

Deep in the palace are the residences of the emperor and members of the royal family.

The entire palace was heavily guarded, with soldiers dressed in neat armor and holding sharp weapons, patrolling inside and outside the palace.

The night sky tonight is exceptionally clear, without a single cloud, as if it were celebrating this birthday.

In the bright courtyard in front of the palace, you can clearly see the faintly shining stars in the sky, the bright moon in the sky, and the stars in the sky. The cool breeze from the north at night blows through, and you can hear the sound of running water and insects in the artificial flower beds dug on both sides by the royal family, coupled with the elegant and quiet lights. This is definitely a picture that makes anyone feel beautiful.

On a large open-air artificial lawn, white ivory tables, fragrant wood benches, and long dining tables are dotted on the lawn like decorations, and they are filled with all kinds of rare delicacies. The fragrance permeates the entire lawn, making people feel extremely salivating just by taking a sniff.

The banquet was divided into two sides. Outside was the gathering of young people, while inside the palace was the gathering of the elders of these young people. When the banquet reached its climax, the two sides would begin to intersect, but they had to be separated for most of the time. The old people talked about old people's things, and the young people played with young people. People of different ages would feel uncomfortable when they were together.

These young people with noble titles gathered in twos and threes, talking and ignoring the delicacies. No one was here for the food. Everyone understood the main point of this banquet tonight, and they seemed happy and casual. Getting to know people of the same generation was secondary.

Most people's eyes and attention were focused on the palace. The dignitaries or powerful soul masters there were the things that could really interest these young people of extraordinary status.

Dear guests, I am sorry to have kept you waiting."

Everyone looked up at the direction where the voice came from, and saw a noble and elegant lady walking towards them. It was Tang Yuehua.

However, every time I saw her, I was amazed. Her appearance was absolutely beautiful, but her every move had an elegance that made people feel ashamed of themselves, which deeply attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Welcome all guests. There are not so many rules for this banquet. You can do whatever you like. Before that, I will play a song for you."

Tang Yuehua asked the maids on both sides to step back, and sat down on a stone bench in the center of the garden, holding a light blue harp.

The elegant, pure tone, as crystal clear as pearls and jade, and as clear as morning dew, slowly flows out from the exquisite golden harp. The beautiful notes float very slowly, and the performer's mood is transmitted to everyone's heart along with the notes.

It is bright and clear, as if standing on a lake reflecting the night sky. The peace and freshness are refreshing.

It seems that even the wind is unwilling to break this tranquility...
