Chapter 299: Elder Murong Yan's Cosplay

Imperial Palace!

Lin Chen followed Li Yuan and disciples from other academies, passed through the Yan Guo Imperial Palace gate, and under the guidance of a mid-tier guard of Yan Guo, headed toward a certain place in the Imperial Palace.

If this banquet initiated by the Yan Guo royal family had been placed before coming to Yan Guo, Lin Chen would definitely not have participated.

He had no great interest in this kind of social interaction.

But after he came to Yan Guo, Elder Murong Yan sent him information about various countries, and he knew Elder Murong Yan was a Yan Guo Princess. For the banquet held by Elder Murong Yan's father, Lin Chen naturally still had to give face.

Following the guard to the Imperial Garden, the leading mid-tier guard smiled: "There is still some time before the banquet, why don't you rest here for a while."

Although the Yan Guo guards were mid-tier martial artists, they naturally wouldn't put on airs in front of geniuses from various countries, not to mention he knew the purpose of His Majesty holding this banquet, which was to give the Princess and the County Princess a chance to contact the geniuses of various countries.

The young disciples of the academies of various countries would stay in the Imperial Garden for half an hour before heading to the banquet location.

Lin Chen looked at the Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden of the Yan Guo Imperial Palace was very large, but at this moment, there were already many young people in the Imperial Garden, all occupying an area.

"This is the people of Zeguo Academy, and on the right is the Wu Guo Academy."

Li Yuan saw Lin Chen looking at the other young people in the Imperial Garden and whispered the identity and background of the other party in Lin Chen's ear.

There were only more than five hundred martial artists from the nine nations, and the large Imperial Garden was more than enough to accommodate them.

However, the academy disciples of various countries only moved in their own areas and did not walk to other areas. There were still two days before the ranking tournament started. Everyone was a competitor, so naturally there would be no greetings or exchanges at this time.

If it were these old people like Hou Zhan Tian, they could still maintain a superficial harmony, but for these young people, everyone was an opponent, and there was no need to pretend to be harmonious.

"Han Guo people are here."

Just as Lin Chen sat down in the area arranged by Yan Guo, a Lin Lin Shixiong beside him whispered, and at the gate of the Imperial Garden, fifty Han Guo academy disciples also walked into the Imperial Garden at this moment.

Perhaps Yan Guo also knew that the conflict between Daliang and Han Guo had been intense recently, so the guard leading the way arranged the seats for the Han Guo martial artists farthest from Lin Chen and the others, which was to prevent a conflict between the two sides in the Imperial Garden.

Various countries would definitely give face to the Yan Guo royal family. Under normal circumstances, they would not fight here, but if they were close and quarreled and got angry, then it might not be certain.

The Yan Guo royal family provided tables for martial artists of various countries, each with a long table, and the front was full of delicacies. Lin Chen tasted the unique food of Yan Guo with ease.

As for the Han Guo martial artists after they came in, it was not that he didn't feel many gazes falling on him, but for these malicious gazes, he didn't even lift his head.

"Does Lin Lin Shixiong like Yan Guo's food?"

Meng Xing sat beside Lin Chen and asked with some confusion when he saw Lin Chen focusing on the food in front of him.

"It's okay."

The few dishes of Yan Guo food on the table were sweet and light. As someone who was used to eating fishy and spicy food in the Jiangnan Road, he could only say it was a taste, not a preference.

"The Yan Guo royal family women will come out in a while. Does Lin Lin Shixiong have any ideas?"

Meng Xing looked at Lin Chen. Regarding why the Yan Guo royal family arranged them in this Imperial Garden, everyone present knew the intention.

"What do you mean?" Lin Chen frowned.

"Lin Lin Shixiong doesn't know?"

Seeing Lin Chen frown, Meng Xing was a bit surprised: "This is... the same as our Daliang's Flower Viewing Party."

"Flower Viewing Party?"

Lin Chen was still confused. Meng Xing came back to his senses. It seemed that with Lin Lin Shixiong's family background, he really didn't know what a Flower Viewing Party was.

Of course, after Lin Lin Shixiong took the first place on Mount Wudao, he was definitely qualified to participate in some Flower Viewing Parties, but Lin Lin Shixiong was devoted to martial arts and should not be interested in these. It was normal not to know about the Flower Viewing Party.

"The Flower Viewing Party is held by some family ladies to create an opportunity for unmarried women in the clan to contact young martial artists, under the name of flower viewing..."

Hearing Meng Xing's explanation, Lin Chen understood.

A blind date meeting.

It was just under the name of flower viewing.

The social atmosphere in Daliang is quite open; both men and women can study martial arts. However, this does not mean that peers of the opposite sex have many opportunities to interact. Martial halls everywhere are segregated by gender, just like in Poyang County, where women generally go to the Jingshui Martial Hall.

It was just that what he was participating in this time was an upgraded version of the blind date meeting, rising to the height of the Yan Guo royal family.

"I heard that there will be a Yan Guo Princess appearing this time. I heard that there are two Princesses in Yan Guo who are not yet married. If one of them is favored by a Princess, it will be the Yan Guo son-in-law."

On the other side, Kong Qing from Qingyun Academy also leaned over and winked.

Looking at Kong Qing, who was exuding hormones, Lin Chen was a bit helpless. After all, they were hot-blooded young people. Where did they have the coldness of geniuses when talking about this topic?

On the contrary, Meng Xing's reaction was flat, which reminded him of Lin Lin Shidi Fang's introduction to the Meng family.

Old-fashioned, traditional...

Every move followed the regulations.

The most old-fashioned family in Daliang, none of them.

"Lin Lin Shixiong Kong, we are here to participate in the ranking tournament."

Sure enough, there was dissatisfaction in Meng Xing's eyes. Kong Qing curled his lips: "We are just here to watch. How can we really play? And being favored by the Yan Guo Princess doesn't delay our cultivation."

"Lin Lin Shidi Kong, with so many Senior Brothers in front, don't think about the Yan Guo Princess. It might be possible for a County Princess or something. Why don't you change seats with the Senior Brothers in front?"

Zhang Ming also leaned over. The few of them were sitting at the very back.

The seats were not arranged by Yan Guo. Yan Guo only arranged the seats according to their number. Lin Chen and the others considered themselves freshmen and were not good at grabbing the front seats from the Senior Brothers, so they consciously sat at the very back.

Lin Chen listened to the conversation between the three Junior Brothers of Meng Xing but did not participate in it. He just thought that since the Yan Guo Princess would appear, would Elder Murong Yan also appear?

"Someone is coming!"

In front, a voice suddenly came. Lin Chen saw the Senior Brothers who were still talking to each other in the front row sitting straight and upright at this moment. At the gate of the Imperial Garden, more than a dozen young women appeared.

The clothes were luxurious, the temperament was elegant, the posture was graceful, and various pearl and jade jewelry made these young women's already exquisite faces even more brilliant.

"Yan Guo has many beauties, and the royal family is even more so. The seniors didn't lie to me."

In front, a Lin Lin Shixiong sighed softly. In Daliang, there is a saying: Daliang beauties look at Jiangnan, and in the nine nations, there is also a saying: Nine nations' beauties look at Yan Guo.

And among Yan Guo, the royal family is the best.

The Yan Guo royal family, whether men or women, are all excellent in appearance.

Lin Chen glanced at these girls who came in and did not see Elder Murong Yan, so he silently withdrew his gaze.

At this moment, the martial artists of the nine nations all gathered their eyes on these girls. The martial artists who could sit here were all geniuses of various countries. General beauty naturally could not move them, but the Yan Guo royal family women were also a match for them in status.

"Do you have any favorites, Junior Brothers?"

Where the Han Guo martial artists were, the men in the front row looked at each other, but did not take this conversation.

With their status, the women of the Yan Guo royal family clan could not enter their eyes. The only ones who could enter their eyes were the two unmarried Princesses of the royal family, the Fifth Princess Elder Murong Xin and the Sixth Princess Elder Murong Yan.

"It is rumored that there are six Princesses in the Yan Guo royal family, and the Sixth Princess Elder Murong Yan is the most beautiful. However, this Sixth Princess rarely walks outside. I don't know if you have seen her, Senior Brothers?"

"Lin Lin Shidi Su has thoughts about this Sixth Princess. Since that's the case, when the Sixth Princess arrives in a while, we will invite the Sixth Princess for Lin Lin Shidi Su."

Su Zhe listened to the words of several Senior Brothers, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

He did have thoughts about the Sixth Princess Elder Murong Yan. The Yan Guo Sixth Princess rarely walked outside, and few people saw her beauty, but last year this Sixth Princess came to Yan Guo to celebrate her aunt's birthday, and he had seen her from afar. She had a beauty that could topple cities and countries.

He was now ranked first on the Earth List, and whether it was family background or martial arts strength, he was worthy of this Sixth Princess.

……

……

More than a dozen women of the royal clan were also sitting opposite at this moment, without the concealment of little girls, but instead generously examining the martial artists of the nine nations opposite.

"Those few from Han Guo are all very good."

"The second one on the left of Wu Guo is also okay in appearance."

"Sisters, if you have any favorites, you can let the maids send flowers in a while."

…………

"It's really people are more beautiful than flowers. Lin Lin Shidi Meng, look at the one in pink, is she looking at me?"

"She is looking at Lin Lin Shixiong Zhao. With the position we are sitting in, she can't even see the face."

Meng Xing ruthlessly interrupted Kong Qing's fantasy, and Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

One of the biggest illusions of men: She is looking at me, she has thoughts about me.

Meng Xing was right. They were sitting at the back and were blocked by the Senior Brothers in front. People couldn't see them at all.

Lin Chen had no interest in these royal clan women and tasted the food on his own, but the next moment he stopped.

A jade hand appeared in his sight, pouring him fine wine.

"Young Lin Shi only focuses on tasting food. Could it be that the Yan Guo clan women cannot enter Young Lin Shi's eyes?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Chen looked up and saw a woman in palace maid attire, wearing a thin veil, standing on his side. At this moment, the woman bent down to pour wine, and the thin veil brushed across her face, allowing Lin Chen to catch a glimpse of the stunning face inside the veil.

The tender white skin that could be broken by a blow, the five features were like exquisite carvings. At such a close distance, he could even smell the faint fragrance on the girl. In this environment, he had to say it brought him a strange feeling.

Lin Chen was stunned. He never thought that Elder Murong Yan would disguise herself as a palace maid and appear by his side?

Cosplay?

Playing this kind of role-playing at home?

Seeing Lin Chen stunned, Elder Murong Yan raised her red lips, knowing that Lin Chen was shocked by her. Her beautiful eyes blinked, and then she stood up proudly and left with the wine pot.

There were people on the side, so she couldn't stay here for too long.

This time, the Imperial Garden banquet arranged by her father, she didn't intend to appear, so she thought of seeing Lin Chen in this appearance.

"Hey, it's strange, why did this palace maid pour wine for Junior Lin Lin Shixiong?"

Kong Qing, who was also drinking on the side, saw the palace maid leave after pouring wine for Lin Chen and couldn't help but mutter.

Looking at Elder Murong Yan's graceful figure turning and leaving, Lin Chen also discovered his loss of composure, hurriedly picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a light sip to cover up his loss of composure just now.

……

……

"Princess, do you really not intend to appear?"

Returning to the side hall next door, Elder Murong Yan put down the wine pot in her hand. Hearing Su Qin's words, she shook her head: "Not going."

She believed Lin Chen should have known the intention of her father leading the geniuses of various countries to the Imperial Garden, and she was afraid of causing misunderstandings.

"Actually, the Princess doesn't have to worry at all. If you are afraid that Young Lin Shi will misunderstand, why don't you take the initiative to express your heart in the Imperial Garden."

"Can't do that."

Elder Murong Yan sighed lightly. She knew very well that in Lin Chen's heart, she could not compare to Senior Sister Jiang. If she expressed her feelings for Lin Chen in front of everyone in the Imperial Garden, her father would definitely summon Lin Chen or discuss this matter with Daliang.

With Lin Chen's potential, he was qualified to be the Yan Guo son-in-law.

But doing so would be equivalent to forcing Lin Chen, forcing Lin Chen to choose between herself and Jiang Qing.

……

……

Imperial Garden.

With the appearance of the Fourth Princess and Fifth Princess of Yan Guo, the atmosphere reached its peak.

The Fourth Princess was married and came to host this banquet this time. Lin Chen looked at these two Princesses. Their appearance was better than those clan women, but they were still worse than Elder Murong Yan.

"As expected of the Yan Guo Princess, this Fifth Princess's appearance and temperament are truly peerless."

Su Zhe listened to the words of a Lin Lin Shixiong behind him, with a look of disdain on his face. He admitted that the Fifth Princess was beautiful, but she still couldn't compare to the Sixth Princess.

Wait until you see the Sixth Princess, then you will know what a true peerless beauty is.

"Everyone is a young genius from various countries. On behalf of my father, I will toast everyone."

The Fourth Princess Elder Murong Shuang raised her wine glass, and when she heard this, Su Zhe frowned. The Sixth Princess hadn't arrived yet, and the banquet started?

He came here for the Sixth Princess this time. If the Sixth Princess didn't appear, what was the point?

"Fourth Princess!"

Su Zhe spoke directly, interrupting the Fourth Princess's action of raising her glass to drink.

"I am Su Zhe from the Su family of Han Guo. I don't know why the Sixth Princess of your country didn't come?"

Su Zhe's words were very straightforward, but everyone at the scene understood that he was aiming for the Sixth Princess.

Hearing the words Sixth Princess, Lin Chen looked up at the direction where Su Zhe was.

"Those who can call themselves the Su family of Han Guo are only one family, which is the line of the Han Guo National Teacher. The Su family of Han Guo is second only to the royal family. Three generations of Han Guo National Teachers all came from the Su family."

Meng Xing very conscientiously explained Su Zhe's background to Lin Chen.

In fact, without Meng Xing's introduction, Lin Chen also knew Su Zhe's background. In the booklet provided by Elder Murong Yan, there was an introduction to Su Zhe's background.

The grandson of the current Han Guo National Teacher, currently the first person on the Earth List.

Age is one month younger than himself.

"Sixth Sister is a bit unwell and cannot attend the banquet. Does Young Su Shi have anything to do?"

Elder Murong Shuang hesitated for a while before giving an answer.

Hearing Elder Murong Shuang's answer, Su Zhe said: "I met the Sixth Princess once last year, and the Sixth Princess once invited me to be a guest in Yan Guo, and also said that she would personally take me to taste Yan Guo's food. I didn't expect the Sixth Princess to be unwell. That is really not a coincidence."

Su Zhe's answer made many people at the scene have reverie. The Sixth Princess invited Su Zhe to be a guest in Yan Guo?

Listening to this, it seemed that the Sixth Princess had thoughts about this Su Zhe.

The Han Guo Su family and the Yan Guo Princess, the status was a match.

At the scene, only three people's expressions were strange: the Fourth Princess Elder Murong Shuang and Elder Murong Xin, and Lin Chen.

Elder Murong Yan is unwell?

If Elder Murong Yan is unwell, then who did she see just now?

Elder Murong Yan's twin sister or younger sister?

The Fourth Princess Elder Murong Shuang and Elder Murong Xin's expressions were strange because they also knew that Sixth Sister was not unwell. Sixth Sister simply didn't want to come. Although they didn't know why Sixth Sister didn't want to come, the answer just now was just an excuse for Sixth Sister.

This time, the list of academy disciples from various countries, their Princess had already seen it. If Sixth Sister really said she would personally take Su Zhe to taste Yan Guo's food, it was impossible that she wouldn't want to come after seeing Su Zhe on the list.

……

……

"That Su Zhe is talking nonsense!"

In the side hall next door, listening to the palace maid reporting the situation in the Imperial Garden, Elder Murong Yan's face was frosty. She went to Han Guo last year to celebrate her aunt's birthday and had seen Su Zhe, and also said she welcomed Su Zhe to play in Yan Guo.

But what she said at the time was polite, and it was not to Su Zhe alone, but to the Han Guo Princess who invited her and everyone else present.

And she never said she would personally take Su Zhe to taste Yan Guo's food.

"Change my clothes for me, I want to go to the Imperial Garden!"

Su Qin on the side was stunned when she heard this, and then advised: "Princess, the Fourth Princess just said you are unwell. Now going to the Imperial Garden, is it not appropriate?"

"Fourth Sister said I am unwell, just feeling a little cold. As a dignified Yan Guo Princess, can't I even overcome a cold?"

Su Qin: ……
