I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 87 This is the treatment an emperor should receive!
Like Chu Jingsong, Qiu Kangning was originally a disciple of a third-rate family in the imperial capital.

They have known each other since childhood and were rivals during their training.

That is, two people with a reverse bond.

In the ordinary circle of practitioners, they are considered minor celebrities.

Later, they each inherited the family business and began to lead the family development.

After more than ten years of hard work, both families have become second-rate families, but neither of these two guys is willing to submit to the other and both want to go further.

A few years ago, Qiu Kangning's son married into the royal palace and married the foolish daughter of an elderly prince. The Qiu family suddenly became a first-class family in the imperial capital and moved into the second ring of the imperial capital.

At that time, Qiu Kangning specially invited Chu Jingsong to attend the family dinner, but Chu Jingsong went there with a dark face. After all, if he didn't go, wouldn't he appear to be a coward?

It turned out to be even more embarrassing to go.

Now that Chu Jingsong's daughter has married the emperor, the Chu family has become the royal family of the imperial capital. They have even received rewards and moved into the first ring of the imperial capital, which is a luxurious area.

Unlike the Qiu family, which is outside the second ring road.

Chu Jingsong naturally specially invited Qiu Kangning to come over, just to feel superior in front of this old rival.

I will show you off the same way you showed me off in the past.

Qiu Kangning shook hands with Chu Jingsong with a fake smile. After a brief exchange of greetings, he said, "The Patriarch of the Chu family really gave birth to a good daughter."

The implication is that Chu Jingsong has no abilities at all, except that his daughter is married well.

"No, no, the son of the Qiu family's patriarch is not bad, why didn't I see your son today?"

Chu Jingsong doesn't care. What you said just proves that you are jealous. If you have the ability, go and have a child.

Hearing Chu Jingsong say this, Qiu Kangning said that his son was very busy. In fact, he was just working like a slave for the foolish princess. He had to apply for permission to go out. Without the prince's consent, he could not go out at all.

Seeing that most of the guests had arrived, Qiu Kangning said, "Why hasn't the Patriarch of the Chu family started the banquet yet? There's no point in waiting any longer, right? The food might get cold by then."

He also made a sarcasm, thinking that Chu Jingsong should just pretend to be cool. Do you really think His Majesty has time to come to your place?
Don’t be fooled by the fact that those who came to congratulate this time were all well-known figures in the imperial capital, even the Empress Dowager’s nephew, great nobles, and officials from various departments came.

If we just rely on Chu Jingsong's connections, we will definitely not be able to hire him.

The real purpose of these people is to come and please Li Chen and make themselves familiar to Li Chen.

There are even some people of lower status who just want to take a look at Li Chen and catch a glimpse of his holy face.

If Li Chen didn't come, it would really disappoint many people.

Qiu Kangning just wanted to see Chu Jingsong lose face.

Chu Jingsong was also hesitating. What was supposed to happen had already happened. Should he continue waiting?

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of neat and powerful footsteps coming from the door.

The footsteps were steady and solemn, attracting everyone's attention, and some people even began to hold their breath.

Soon after, a team of imperial guards in golden armor stepped into the courtyard. Holding spears in their hands, they marched in unison, like a flowing golden Great Wall, clearing a sacred path for the distinguished guests who were about to arrive!

The appearance of the Imperial Guards made the originally bustling courtyard quiet in an instant, and everyone's attention was focused on the team behind them.

The appearance of the Imperial Guards proves that 'that man' has arrived!
At this moment, the eunuchs in the palace shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived! The imperial concubine has arrived!"

The sound was like thunder, echoing in the night sky, causing everyone present to tremble slightly, and their eyes began to show awe.

As the eunuchs shouted, a gorgeous dragon chariot slowly drove into the courtyard. On the chariot sat a man wearing a dragon robe and looking extraordinary and mighty. He was the monarch of the Tiance Dynasty, Li Chen.

Next to him was a beautiful woman dressed in gorgeous palace clothes. She was the daughter of the Chu family, the new imperial concubine Chu Ruoyan.

The moment they saw Li Chen and Chu Ruoyan, everyone in the audience knelt on the ground involuntarily, and they shouted: "Long live His Majesty! Long live the Imperial Concubine!"

The sounds rose and fell, surging like the tide.

Li Chen smiled and raised his hand, signaling everyone to stand up.

He said in a gentle tone: "Today is the Chu family's housewarming celebration. No need to be polite, everyone, get up."

His voice was not very loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

After Chu Jingsong stood up, he didn't even bother to look down on Qiu Kangning who was standing next to him with a terrified look on his face.

Chu Jingsong's face was filled with excitement. He walked up quickly, bowed deeply to Li Chen, and then greeted him warmly: "Your Majesty, it is really an honor for the Chu family that you have condescended to come! Please take a seat, Your Majesty!"

As he spoke, Chu Jingsong led Li Chen to the best position in the center of the compound.

There was already a distinguished chair prepared there, which was specially prepared for Li Chen.

No matter where Li Chen goes, the best position must be reserved for him. He is the emperor of the Saint Realm. There is no room for negotiation. This is also the treatment he deserves for his status.

The Imperial Master was qualified to sit on the same level as the Emperor, but that was only for other Emperors.

Who is Li Chen? How could he allow others to be on an equal footing with him?
After Li Chen ascended the throne, he completely interpreted what it means: the emperor is the symbol of supremacy!
Ever since Li Chen appeared, those who had never seen him before showed excitement. This emperor's aura, this incomparable divine appearance, this is their emperor!

Especially as citizens of the Tiance Dynasty, a sense of pride arises spontaneously.

In their minds, this is what an emperor should be like. Li Chen has even exceeded their definition of perfection!

Only after Li Chen and Chu Ruoyan took their seats did the guests dare to sit down one after another, but they felt very uncomfortable.

Because many people couldn't help but want to get close to Li Chen and please Li Chen.

But the people around Li Chen are also ranked according to their status.

After all, this was a family dinner of the Chu family, so Chu Jingsong could naturally sit at the main table.

Next came Chu Ruoyan’s mother, as well as the Queen Mother’s nephew, great nobles, royal family, and the like.

Those who can make it to the main table have a pretty good status.

However, everyone would feel honored to be able to have dinner with Li Chen.

Chu Jingsong drank a lot today and looked very happy, which made Qiu Kangning behind him so jealous that he was bleeding.

He also didn't expect that the emperor would really come, and that he would be such a powerful emperor.

Qiu Kangning also thought that it would have been great if he had given birth to a daughter, but unfortunately he had a useless son.

Once upon a time, I remember he told his son that his son was the pride of his life.

In the blink of an eye, pride becomes useless.

It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.

There was no need for Li Chen to stay at the Chu family's banquet. He just needed to go through the motions.

After this meal, he had to return to the palace.

Because if he stayed here the whole time, everyone would revolve around him and look at his expression, and no one would know that this was a Chu family banquet.

It feels a bit out of place.

Furthermore, most of the people here are from ordinary families, and the circle Chu Jingsong has not been exposed to is not that high. They feel very pressured when Li Chen is here.

So when Li Chen left, they felt a lot more relieved.

They also began to congratulate the head of the Chu family again.

Before Li Chen left, Liu Hao, Wu Qi and others really wanted to say hello to him, but they had no chance and no qualifications, so they could only watch from a distance.

In the end, he could only watch Li Chen and Chu Ruoyan leave.

After Li Chen left, Wu Qi glanced at the beauty behind Liu Hao and said, "Could this be your sister?"

Liu Hao nodded. In fact, the main purpose of his visit this time was to bring his cousin to see Li Chen.

Liu Hao also understands the ways of the world, and he would not force his cousin to be introduced to Li Chen at this time.

By then, it would be hard to say whether his elder sister would be favored by Emperor Li Chen, but he would definitely offend the imperial concubine Chu Ruoyan.

This is the Chu family's family dinner. Chu Ruoyan is the host here after all. She had finally invited Li Chen here, and Liu Hao suddenly did this. Chu Ruoyan must feel offended.

So Liu Hao just watched from the side and did nothing.

Wu Qi was also puzzled. Liu Hao didn't look that good, but his cousin was indeed beautiful.

But it is far from comparable to Chu Ruoyan.

Chu Ruoyan's title of "The Double Best in the Imperial Capital" was not given casually.

Even if there are hidden beauties in the imperial capital, the fact that they can be said to be two of the most outstanding ones in public proves that they have been recognized by most people.

Wu Qi felt that he still had a chance, after all, his aunt was still pretty good looking!
Liu Hao took a quick glance and asked in confusion: "Why don't I see Xiao Ming?"

Wu Qi shrugged and replied, "Maybe he doesn't want to see this."

In fact, it wasn’t that Xiao Ming didn’t plan to come, but that he didn’t know about this matter at all.

At this moment, Xiao Ming was meditating and practicing as usual, while fantasizing about how he would have a chance encounter with that big sister tomorrow.

When the remnant soul of the saint saw his slow cultivation speed, he knew that this kid was distracted again.

At this time, the most unlucky person was Xu Zifeng, the prince of Zhennan.

Because, he was thrown into jail by Lin Yue'e again!
