Traveling through ancient times, the princess of the special forces became the group's favorite

Everyone followed Emperor Xuanyuan closely and walked towards the magnificent hall.

The queen was dignified and graceful, and was surrounded by a group of beautiful concubines. They walked lightly, like fairies descending to earth, and slowly approached the hall.

After Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi and the Queen took their seats, the people who were originally standing bowed respectfully upwards again.

"Greetings to the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Greetings to the Empress, may the Empress live a thousand years, a thousand years, and a thousand thousand years!" The voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire hall.

Hearing the voices of the crowd paying homage, Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi showed a kind smile on his face. He raised his hand slightly and said, "Stand up."

Then he said, "Today is the annual New Year's Eve, a day of national celebration. Don't be shy, drink to your heart's content and share this joyful moment."

The Empress standing nearby also smiled and echoed, "That's right. Everyone, please be casual and don't be too rigid about etiquette."

However, despite the emperor and empress's words, who among the ministers present dared to act recklessly? After all, the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects was deeply rooted in people's hearts, so they still had to be cautious.

Therefore, the ministers waited until the emperor and the empress were both seated safely before they dared to sit down cautiously one by one.

At this time, Emperor Xuanyuan, sitting high on the dragon throne, exuded an unparalleled majesty.

He turned his head slightly and glanced to the lower right.

In that direction sat some foreigners dressed in strange clothes. They came from far away lands and were looking at everything around them curiously.

Hua Manlou happened to be sitting safely on this side.

They stood up one by one, with sincere smiles on their faces, saluted the majestic Emperor Xuanyuan who was sitting on the high throne, and introduced the countries they represented in detail.

Everyone used the most respectful words to convey their country's deepest blessings to Emperor Yunyan to Emperor Xuanyuan, and at the same time presented carefully prepared precious gifts.

Finally, it was Hua Manlou's turn.

I saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and he slowly stood up from his seat.

In an instant, a powerful and unique aura emanated from him, like a surging wave, instantly suppressing the aura emitted by the envoys from various countries who had stood up to pay their respects.

Everyone present was amazed. Even the many nobles of Yunyan Kingdom couldn't help feeling ashamed after seeing Hua Manlou's outstanding appearance and extraordinary aura.

At this time, Shen Li was sitting opposite leisurely.

She was casually eating melon seeds on the plate in front of her, but her beautiful eyes were always fixed on Hua Manlou, revealing a hint of curiosity and appreciation.

At this moment, a thought flashed through her mind without warning - her biological father, whom she had never met, also had the surname Hua!

Could this Hua Manlou have some connection with me?

However, almost at the same time, another voice quickly rang out and denied it: "Impossible, impossible, the Hua family here is a famous and prestigious family in Xueji Country. Xueji Country is not close to Yunyan, so how could she be from Xueji Country?"

Hua Manlou presented a generous gift to Emperor Xuanyuan.

"Mr. Hua, you are so polite. I personally invited the Hua family to attend this New Year's Eve palace banquet. There is no need to prepare such a generous gift."

Emperor Xuanyuan laughed heartily, his voice as loud as a bell.

Hua Manlou nodded slightly and said humbly, "Your Majesty, I am deeply honored to have your kind invitation to the palace to celebrate the festival. This gift is but a small token of our respect to Your Majesty."

This Saker Falcon was carefully selected by my Hua family. My father specifically asked me to convey his sincere blessings to Your Majesty on his behalf.

Unfortunately, my mother has been seriously ill recently, and my father is deeply worried. It is difficult for him to leave, so he asked me to come to Yunyan to wish Your Majesty a happy new year."

As soon as Hua Manlou finished speaking, a slight commotion was heard in the hall.

Everyone was whispering and discussing.

"Saker Falcon? It's actually a Saker Falcon?" someone shouted in surprise.

"I heard that the Saker Falcon is an extremely mysterious and powerful bird of prey. You can only find one among a hundred thousand eagles!" another person exclaimed in amazement.

"That's right! 'There are three hundred and sixty feathered insects, and the most handsome one is the Saker Falcon.' The Saker Falcon is not just an ordinary bird, it is a symbol of wealth and power!" another person echoed.

Even Shen Li, who had been standing quietly by the side, couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of astonishment.

Although she had heard of the reputation of the Saker Falcon, she had never seen its true appearance with her own eyes.

Hearing the discussions of people around him, he became more and more curious about this legendary bird of prey.

It is said that the meat of the Saker Falcon is extremely delicious and can not only be used as medicine to treat diseases, but also if its wildness can be tamed and allowed to survive, it will surely become an excellent hunter.

Whether it is a swan soaring in the sky or a wild wolf hiding in the mountains and forests, none of them can escape its sharp gaze and swift attack.

Thinking of this, Shen Li couldn't help but be amazed and felt sincere admiration for the Hua family for being able to possess such a precious gift.

At this moment, when Shen Li's eyes fell on the bird of prey in the cage, the melon seeds in his hand instantly froze at the corner of his mouth.

Her eyes were like being drawn to a magnet, staring at the thing in the cage without blinking.

The feathers of the Saker Falcon were as smooth as silk, presenting a stunning interweaving of colors - snow-white blending with deep gray-brown, like a beautiful natural ink painting.

Its irises are as dazzling as brown gemstones, sparkling with a mysterious and deep light; its mouth is a light lead gray, as if it has gone through the vicissitudes of time but is still strong and resolute.

The most eye-catching thing is its four pale yellow claws, which are extremely sharp and have beautiful lines, exuding a sharp aura.

What is most shocking is those extremely sharp eyes, like two lightning bolts streaking across the sky, revealing an unparalleled majesty and dominance that makes people feel awe.

Emperor Xuanyuan, who was standing aside, was in a particularly good mood at this time, with an expression of joy that was difficult to conceal on his face.

Even though he was knowledgeable and had rare treasures in the world, it was the first time in his life that he saw such a majestic Saker Falcon with his own eyes.

He turned around with great joy and said with a hearty laugh to Hua Manlou beside him, "This gift you sent me is truly heartwarming!"

Before he finished speaking, the entire hall was in an uproar.

Many court officials and concubines turned their eyes to Hua Manlou, with endless envy and admiration in their eyes.

Those who had already heard of the Hua family's wealth and power were now even more astonished.

Looking at Hua Manlou himself, he has a handsome, elegant and suave appearance.

He has a tall and slender figure, a noble and elegant temperament, and his every move shows the demeanor of a descendant of a prominent family.

Especially the noble aura that emanates from his body, which seems to be innate and natural. Combined with his elegant figure like a pine tree and a crane, he can truly be called a rare elegant gentleman in the world.

It was for this reason that the noble ladies with daughters in the hall could no longer contain their excitement and whispered to their husbands in low voices.

Everyone had the same idea in mind - if they could take advantage of this opportunity to introduce their beloved daughter to this talented and handsome playboy with a prominent family background, wouldn't it be equivalent to letting their daughter marry into a real nest of gold?
