Sword of the Nine Heavens, the Fall of the Gods

Chengfeng was even more confused. He had just arrived in the capital and had no contact with the Queen. Why did she want to meet him?

"Eunuch, why does the Queen want to see me?" Chengfeng's tone was filled with some inquiry and confusion.

Eunuch Chu snorted coldly: "You will know when you get there, why are you talking so much nonsense. How can you find out what is going on in the palace?"

Cheng Feng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "You have to give a reason, right, Master? It seems against the rules to ask me to go to the palace for no reason."

Eunuch Chu's eyes flashed with impatience: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? In the palace, the Queen's words are the rules. How dare you disobey the Queen's order?"

Chengfeng sneered in his heart. Of course he dared to disobey, but there was no need to do so now.

There's nothing scary about a mere palace. It's worth your trip to the capital to take a look.

Cheng Feng thought so, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, "Okay, in that case, please lead the way."

Eunuch Chu seemed to have not expected that Cheng Feng would be so calm and composed, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But soon, he regained his arrogant look, snorted again, and led Chengfeng towards the palace.

Along the way, admiring the magnificent architecture and exquisite layout of the palace, Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh at the luxury and majesty of the royal family.

Led by eunuch Chu Feng, they entered a spacious and bright royal palace.

Eunuch Chu stopped, turned around and said, "Wait here, I will go inform the Queen."

Chengfeng nodded and stood quietly in a corner of the main hall, waiting to be summoned.

It was almost dusk, and the hall was brightly lit with flickering candlelight.

Suddenly, a light breeze blew by, and a candle on a pillar in a remote corner of the hall went out with a whoosh.

Chengfeng's heart moved and he couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, Eunuch Chu walked out quickly and said to Cheng Feng, "The Queen wants you to see her."

After saying this, he slightly turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, with an imperceptible cunning gleaming in his eyes.

Seeing Eunuch Chu's arrogant and respectful appearance, Chengfeng secretly laughed. This eunuch had been in office for a long time and there must be something wrong with his mentality. He was one way outside and another way inside the palace.

Chengfeng nodded and followed him into a quiet and elegant hall.

Compared with other magnificent buildings in the palace, this hall appears rather simple and lacks excessive decoration.

The main tone is the original wood color, matched with a few elegant ink paintings, but it has its own charm.

The hall is not luxuriously decorated, and even a little shabby, but it looks neat, elegant, fresh and refined.

In the middle of the hall, Queen Dugu Jialuo sat on a plain chair.

She has a dignified face and a noble figure, and exudes a kind of awe-inspiring temperament that makes people dare not look directly at her.

She was wearing a dark purple phoenix robe with her sleeves fluttering in the wind. The phoenix crown on her head was gleaming softly but noticeably in the candlelight.

Next to her stood a woman in gorgeous palace dress, with a beautiful appearance that could captivate a whole city.

The woman in palace dress was none other than Princess Lanling, who was on the East Palace jury. When she saw Chengfeng coming in, she showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.

At this moment, Dugu Jialuo and Princess Lanling's eyes were focused on Chengfeng, as if they were sizing him up.

Chengfeng walked forward and nodded slightly, "Empress, Princess Lanling, I wonder why you summoned Chengfeng here?"

"You are such a bold servant, you refuse to kneel before the Queen and the Princess!"

Eunuch Chu's scolding voice rang out in the hall, his face full of anger and fear.

I didn't expect that the person in front of me didn't even know the most basic rules.

Eunuch Chu stared at Chengfeng with eyes wide open, his eyes full of disbelief.

Chengfeng just smiled and folded his hands over his chest, completely ignoring the rebuke from Eunuch Chu.

Princess Lanling saw this and quickly said, "Eunuch Chu, this musician is an outsider. There is no need to be bound by conventional etiquette. Forget it!"

After saying that, she glanced at Dugu Jialuo and said, "Mother, our Celestial Empire is a country of etiquette, but we will not treat it the same as a foreign country. I will teach him slowly in the future."

Dugu Jialuo nodded slightly and waved to Eunuch Chu, "Forget it, you can go down."

Chu Feng then wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed to Dugu Jialuo and Princess Lanling, and turned to leave.

Dugu Jialuo looked at Chengfeng again, with a hint of majesty in her tone.

"Are you Chengfeng from the Hengda Song and Dance Troupe?"

Chengfeng nodded calmly, "That's right."

Dugu Jialuo's face suddenly darkened, "Your accent doesn't sound like that of a foreigner!"

"I never said I was!" Chengfeng responded indifferently.

"You are so brave. You didn't kneel when you were the prince. You didn't kneel when you saw me. Don't you want to live?"
