Chapter 287 Chao Chao's Evaluation
Lu Yuanze has become a laughing stock in the whole Beijing.
When Lu Yanshu carried his sister away, Lu Chaochao was still holding a roasted sweet potato tightly in her hand.
"The envoy from the Southern Kingdom is coming to the palace today, and His Majesty invites you to go with him." Lu Yanshu carried his sister into the carriage.
Lu Chaochao's face turned dark.
"I finally got three days off, why are you going back to the palace?"
"Can't he wait until I go to school before calling me?" I can ask for one more day!
"Since you started school, you have become more and more petty." Lu Yanshu shook his head.
Lu Chaochao's little face wrinkled into a ball.
Li Siqi found it funny: "There is a lantern festival tonight. I will pick you up after the palace banquet?"
Lu Chaochao nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay, Brother Siqi, come earlier."
The little guy shook his head and wagged his tail, and then he became happy.
"The Southern Kingdom has always been arrogant and looks down on the Northern Kingdom. If there is a conflict in words, please just be patient, okay?"
Lu Yanshu warned her seriously.
"Bei Zhao is a mortal and cannot compete with Nan Guo."
"They have the unique favor of the gods, and Bei Zhao cannot compete with them."
"I'm afraid that the ferocious beast Xiangliu they brought this time will give us a warning." Lu Yanshu sighed deeply.
Bei Zhao is weak, so this is the only option.
"Let's go. Don't be afraid. Try to stay away from the ferocious beasts." Lu Yanshu took Chaochao into the palace.
Lu Chaochao burped while chewing on a sweet potato.
Xiangliu?
Ferocious beast?
I guess so.
The palace banquet had not yet begun, but many ladies of honor and court officials were already waiting in the hall. Lu Chaochao saw many old acquaintances.
"Brother, you go and do your work. Chaochao is going to look for her friends..." After Lu Chaochao said this, she ran towards the Sixth Prince.
"Sixth brother, what are you waiting for?" the little fellow asked in a milky voice.
The Sixth Prince was squatting at the palace gate, seemingly waiting for something.
"Wait for Brother Yuzhou. Has Chaochao seen Yuzhou?" The Sixth Prince had no idea what was going on. Ever since he fed Lu Chaochao wine last time, the two of them have had a life-and-death friendship.
Now the relationship is very good.
"Then don't wait. Brother Yuzhou is on seven days sick leave, and he's probably still lying in bed."
"Sixth brother, let's go in together." Lu Chaochao took the Sixth Prince's hand and pulled him into the door.
"Ah? He's in trouble again..." The Sixth Prince sighed softly.
What could be more severe than the last time he beat Chao Chao after feeding him wine?
Wait until the palace banquet is over and then go over to ask.
"Is fifth brother feeling better?" Lu Chaochao asked, searching for fifth brother's figure.
"Much better. Fortunately, Chaochao took him to see Concubine Shu." The Fifth Prince was depressed for a while because Concubine Shu was banished to the cold palace by Concubine Hui.
The Sixth Prince pulled Chao Chao and whispered, "Chao Chao, stand at the back later. Don't stand at the front..."
He looked around.
"The envoys from the Southern Kingdom brought a vicious beast that feeds on humans every day. It is said that it can stop children from crying."
"The Southern Kingdom hates it the most. They love to see Bei Zhao make a fool of itself out of fear. You are Bei Zhao's most favored little princess, and they will definitely scare you." Make Bei Zhao embarrassed.
"Stand behind Sixth Brother later."
Lu Chaochao changed into a light green dress with a ribbon tied in her hair, which fluttered in the wind.
"Okay, Sixth Brother." The little guy stood beside Sixth Brother obediently.
After a while, Wang Yuanlu was heard singing loudly outside the door.
"The Emperor has arrived..."
"The Queen has arrived..."
The emperor and empress entered the hall one after another, and all the civil and military officials stood up and paid their respects.
"Didn't the Queen Mother come?" the Sixth Prince asked his Fifth Brother beside him.
The fifth prince gently placed his index finger on his lips and said, "Shh, the Queen Mother was sweating a lot yesterday and caught a cold today. Let grandma rest." It's not that the Queen Mother caught a cold, but the Queen Mother had no good intentions in this trip to the South Country.
The Queen Mother is old and cannot stand the shock.
The emperor looked a little heavy today. Only when he saw Chao Chao did he smile a little.
"Why is your face so black?" The emperor raised his hand to wipe the traces from the corner of her mouth. He smelled it and it smelled like burnt sweet potato.
The little guy grinned: "Chao Chao eats sweet potatoes."
"Emperor Daddy, are you unhappy today?" She tilted her head and looked at the emperor curiously with her round eyes.
The emperor suppressed his anger.
"I'm happy to see Chao Chao."
"Have your meal quietly and don't make any noise, okay?" The emperor also wanted to protect the little guy.
Chao Chao agreed obediently.
The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Chao Chao, do you know Xiang Liu?"
Three days after the Southern Kingdom's envoys arrived in Beijing, the ferocious beast had eaten countless people. The thick smell of blood filled the area within a hundred meters, which made the emperor feel disgusted and frightened.
It just so happens that the beast has a huge appetite.
The emperor had no choice but to send death row prisoners from the prison to be executed every day.
"Xiangliu..." Lu Chaochao's little face fell into deep thought.
"Chao Chao's evaluation is that it's not very delicious." After a long silence, he finally uttered this sentence.
In her memory, all the mythical beasts and ferocious beasts were classified according to whether they could be eaten.
The emperor widened his eyes slightly, but before he could ask any further questions, he heard the eunuch's announcement outside the door.
"The envoy from the Southern Kingdom has arrived."
Sure enough, they smelled the strong smell of blood before they even entered the door, which made everyone frown and reveal a hint of disgust.
"Your Majesty Bei Zhao, you won't blame me for being late, right?" The young man's arrogant tone made people inexplicably irritated.
"Your Majesty is really stingy. Lord Xiangliu did not eat enough. He found some food along the way..." Nan Mubai looked at Emperor Xuanping provocatively.
Emperor Xuanping's face suddenly darkened. There were only innocent civilians along the way!
The queen gently raised her hand and patted his palm.
Bei Zhao is a mortal being and cannot break off relations with the Southern Kingdom for the time being!
The emperor's expression eased slightly, and he suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes and said, "Your Highness, you are joking. Wang Yuanlu, send fifty death row prisoners over tomorrow."
Wang Yuanlu responded in a low voice.
Nan Mubai stood and bowed to the emperor: "I hope your majesty will forgive me. The Nan clan has a special bloodline. We kneel to the gods above and the king of the Southern Kingdom below. Your Majesty Bei Zhao is a mortal, which may shorten his lifespan, so I will not kneel to your majesty."
The whole audience was silent.
It is obvious that Northern Zhao is inferior to Southern Kingdom.
He was not even worthy of kneeling.
A mere grandson of the emperor dared to disregard the emperor's majesty. This shows how arrogant the Southern Kingdom is.
The emperor gritted his teeth, his eyes were murderous, and his fists were clenched.
It happens again! !
This is the case for all Hui people from the southern countries who come to Beijing! ! This is true for all countries, without any exception!
They are the only ones in the mortal world who can ask God to descend and ask for blessings from the gods. Everyone has to act according to their wishes!
Emperor Xuanping took a deep breath, his eyes devoid of warmth: "Give the Imperial Grandson and Lord Ming a seat."
The ferocious beast hovered in the hall, its cold snake eyes scanning the entire place, causing goose bumps to spread all over everyone's body.
It is huge in size and looks down on its peers.
"This is our Southern Kingdom's sacred beast, Xiangliu. Xiangliu is a sacred beast that has existed since the creation of the world. It has always protected our Southern Kingdom's royal family and is the royal family's patron saint."
"Xiangliu is also known as Little Dragon, and the crown on its head is exactly the same as that of the dragon clan." Nan Mubai said with a hint of pride in his tone.
Lu Chaochao popped his little head out from behind the Sixth Prince.
"How shameless! Why are you touching Qinglong?"
"Whose divine beast eats humans?" Lu Chaochao said angrily, directly expressing everyone's thoughts.
