The emperor noticed the expectant looks of his courtiers and glanced at them coldly.

The court officials immediately became serious.

The emperor said coldly: "Have you found the loophole? Have you analyzed the details to find evidence?"

The court officials looked down at the blank bamboo slips: Oops, they were so excited about eating the melon that they completely forgot to write down the details.

The emperor's eyes sharpened and his voice became even softer: "What are you still standing there for? Write."

The court officials wrote on the bamboo slips. At first they were worried that they would not be able to remember, but perhaps because the plot was too dramatic, as soon as they started writing, all kinds of details came to their mind, and they instantly came up with countless possible solutions.

The court officials became more and more excited as they wrote, and their writings were like those of gods.

……

Yuanruan: [Don't do that yet. The love triangle in Shu is too complicated, and I can't wrap my mind around it right now... No hurry, I just want to go in and see the melon owner first.]

The queen also listened with great interest and her face flushed.

I really didn’t expect the palace outside to be so exciting!

She had originally planned to just drop him off and leave, but now after hearing this piece of gossip, the family members know what I mean, after eating gossip, especially this kind of bloody and sensational gossip, they really want to meet the owner of the gossip.

The queen couldn't help but hug Yuan Ruan and walk together. When they reached the first corner, they happened to meet the emperor and his entourage.

The queen was stunned for a moment, and then she keenly noticed that many court officials were avoiding her gaze.

The queen understood immediately that this group of people had probably been secretly watching the show here for a long time.

"Your Majesty." The Queen saluted the Emperor first.

Yuanruan greeted the emperor with a few cheerful "yays".

At the same time, she glanced at him in surprise: [Daxia really respects the imperial masters of other countries. The emperor, the crown prince, important officials in the court, and the generals are all here. It's such a courtesy.]

System: [Yes, maybe it’s because Daxia is weak, so we treat them with extra courtesy.]

The expressions of the court officials froze: No, no, no, originally only the officials from the Ministry of Rites came to entertain the foreign guests, they followed here just to see if the system can read foreigners' melons, and if so, whether they can get some clues.

The emperor coughed lightly and helped the queen up: "Thank you for making such a tiring trip."

Then the emperor stepped forward, picked up Yuan Ruan, shook him and said, "Hmm. He seems a little lighter. We can't let our little imperial master starve."

Just at this moment, Yuanruan burped from being shaken.

When the atmosphere became slightly awkward, Prime Minister Li smiled awkwardly but politely: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. When people are too hungry, the gas will rise and they will burp."

Prime Minister Wang was speechless: Tui! Flatterer!

……

At this time, the three imperial masters in the side hall heard the noise outside and came out one after another.

When they saw so many people coming outside, a look of surprise flashed across their faces, and Chen Guoshi's face even flashed a hint of hidden understanding and arrogance.

The three imperial masters saluted to the emperor and said, "Greetings to the Emperor of Daxia. May your majesty be blessed with good health."

The Emperor: "Yes. No need to be polite, my Imperial Masters."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The three of them stood up.

The emperor shook Yuanruan and said, "This is my Xia country's state teacher."

Yuan Ruan glanced around. The Grand Master of Chu looked at her in a friendly manner. The Grand Master of Chen just glanced at her with a bit of disdain on his face. The Grand Master of Shu didn't even look at her and seemed to be in a daze.

But Yuan Ruan didn't care. She couldn't help but whisper to the system: [Shu State Master, hey, he's so tall when I look at him closely, he must be 1.9 meters tall. Tong'er, is this person really down there? Can I reach him?]

The court officials' eyes all fell on the half-body of the Shu Kingdom's imperial teacher.

The Shu Kingdom's Imperial Master was instantly alert, blocking his crotch with one hand and his back with the other.

Courtiers:?

System: [Haha, I am dying of laughter. What's wrong with the Shu Kingdom's Imperial Master? Why is he blocking me... Is he still asleep and thinking he is still in Shu Kingdom?]

Yuanruan: [Hmm? What's wrong with this posture? Could it be that he is a sandwich? ]

System: [I am serious and don’t discuss other people’s details behind their backs.]

Yuanruan Crescent Eyes: [Oh...]

The Queen also showed the same crescent eyes.

The emperor coughed lightly upon seeing this and continued, "The Spring Festival will be held in a few days. I would like to ask all the imperial masters to cooperate with my Xia national master and hold a ceremony to worship the God of Agriculture together."

Yuanruan came back to his senses: Huh?

No more competition?

Three national masters: Ah?

The Shu Kingdom's Imperial Preceptor frowned. He had the hottest temper and asked, "Your Majesty, shouldn't we, the four nations' Imperial Preceptors, compete in the Dao before deciding which country will hold the Spring Festival?"

The State Master of Chen also laughed sarcastically, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Is this the Taoist genius who can control lightning who is known all over the world? How come he doesn't even dare to compete with fellow Taoist? Could it be fake..." He wanted to say something else, but was pulled back by the State Master of Chu.

The Grand Master of Chu stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty. The Spring Festival is a joint festival of the four nations. Every time, the Grand Masters of the four nations gather at the main sacrificial site to pray for a good harvest. This year, the Grand Master of Great Xia is young, so it should be us..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, the emperor waved his hand dismissively.

The captain of the palace guards and more than thirty palace guards who were waiting nearby flicked their swords in unison.

Everyone:! ! !

Yes, everyone. Not only the three foreign imperial masters were surprised, but even the crown prince and the court officials of Great Xia were a little surprised.

Because the emperor did not inform them in advance.

The emperor said coldly: "What doubts do you have?"

Although there was no threat in these words, the hairs of the State Master of Chen and the State Master of Shu stood up at the same time.

The emperor then said calmly, "Cooperate well with the Great Summer and Spring Festival sacrifices, and then leave in peace. If you have any questions, you can ask the Minister of Rites in private."

After saying this, the emperor carried Yuan Ruan away.

Yuanruan:?

Yuan Ruan whispered: [No, we will only meet once? But brother is unexpected, but very handsome.]

System: [Yes. I was thinking that you can’t waste your new magical power this year, so how can you win the competition? I didn’t expect the emperor to suppress the whole audience with his domineering power. He is worthy of being called a tyrant, so domineering.]

The emperor smiled inwardly and walked more quickly.

As soon as the emperor left, the prince and some important officials looked at each other and left as well.

The three imperial masters were left even more confused.

They were already dissatisfied with the emperor's words, and now they saw that the officials of Daxia only watched them for a short while before leaving, which made them even more dissatisfied.

Chen Guoshi even wanted to roar: He is a national master, he has a high status, what is wrong with you Daxia, why do you treat him so badly? !

But he didn't dare to say.

Then, Chen State's Imperial Preceptor turned to Chu State's Imperial Preceptor and said, "Hey, this... this is disrespectful to you, Imperial Preceptor."

The Grand Master of Chu State smiled lightly, not taking the words of discord to heart, and just said: "The way of nature is natural, let it be."

Chen State Prefect choked.

At this time, the State Master of Shu also sneered: "You really treat others as fools. I'm really angry. Go and tell me yourself."

"What do you have..."

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom." "Boom." Suddenly, the sound of the alchemy furnace exploding came continuously not far away.

The three kingdoms' imperial masters looked over in surprise at the same time, and saw a wisp of thick black smoke coming out of a side hall not far away. Soon, several men in dirty Taoist robes came out with bamboo slips in their hands, discussing with gesticulations.

Seeing this, Chen Guoshi looked down on them even more and whispered, "The Taoist priests in the Great Xia Palace are actually frequently blowing up their alchemy furnaces. Xia Guo is really a wasteland for practicing Taoism. I wonder if the Shenxiao Sect has been bewitched and confused."

The other two imperial masters did not speak.

At this time, the Minister of Rites, the Vice Minister and others strode forward with friendly smiles.

Chen Guoshi straightened his appearance, but sneered in his heart: What's the point of trying to please us now...

Before he could finish his thought, he saw a group of people rushing towards the State Master of Shu, enthusiastically inviting him to go to the next room to reminisce about the past.

The other two national masters:?

Chen Guoshi was even more angry: Why? Am I not as good as a shirtless savage? Do you think so little of me?! Okay, okay, I will write a letter to stop Longhu Daochang from holding the ceremony of inviting the gods, and see what you can do if you offer a spring festival with nothing!

At this time, another Minister of Rites stepped forward and said gently, "Grand Master, please come this way."

Chen Guoshi was unmoved and sneered: It's too late, and only one person came. Let me see how I can deal with him...

After giving a few words of advice, the other party suddenly whispered, "I have a message that I would like to verify with you, the Imperial Master. Excuse me, are you the son of Taoist Master Zhao in blue robe?"

Chen Guoshi's expression froze:...

I was sweating profusely.
