Her Majesty was the empress. If she was looking for a son-in-law, the other party would have the title of a prince. That was why the empress said, "You shall enter the palace and become the king."
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
The entire hall exploded in an instant and immediately turned into a wet market.
Seeing the reactions of these people and thinking about what the empress just said, Ren Baqian had an incredible thought.
"It can't be? What's going on? "
Not only was Ren Baqian's body stiff, but his entire body was like a block of wood.
Enter the palace and become the king? If he guessed correctly, he was going to marry the empress? Otherwise, why would those people have such a big reaction?
But how could this be possible?
This was the seventh most powerful person in the world, the empress of Dayao. Why would she suddenly make such a decision? Am I crazy or is she crazy?
Now, the entire hall was in a mess. Everyone stood up from their seats and begged the empress to reconsider.
On the right, the descendants of the aristocratic families from the three nations and the Seventh Prince were also dumbfounded.
Qi Zixiao chose this Secondary class, Rank 6 official from nowhere as her husband?
Why?
Everyone was thinking the same thing: "Why?"
Some people even pinched their own thighs. Was this a dream?
Everyone was at a loss.
Mister Emptiness coughed violently for a while and looked at Ren Baqian with a smile on his face. He came here for other matters and had never thought of becoming the empress's husband. Therefore, when he saw the scene in the hall, he felt that it was interesting.
Ning Caichen had a strange expression on his face. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have spent so much effort to curry favor with Qi Zixiao. He might as well curry favor with this new prince.
Fortunately, he had gone through thick and thin with Qi Zixiao on the mountain, right? Even Green Bead was shot down by Qi Zixiao with an arrow. This could be considered as giving him some face.
Thinking of Green Bead, he felt his heart ache again.
The Seventh Prince sat there with lifeless eyes. It was as if he had received a huge shock. How did this guy, who looked exactly like him, get Qi Zixiao's favor?
The empress looked at the group of people below and inexplicably felt very happy. She stood up and said, "Let's end the banquet here. The rest of you can go back. As for what you want to say, follow me to the throne room …"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and left the hall. Everyone in Dayao's imperial court hurriedly followed him.
Hong Wu walked past Ren Baqian and placed his hand on Ren Baqian's shoulder. He furrowed his eyebrows and left without saying a word.
Ren Baqian was left standing in the field, not knowing what to do.
No one seemed to have asked for his opinion? Should he follow them or stay here?
"Congratulations, Imperial Prince Ren. I will visit you again another day." Ning Caichen was the first to step forward. With a smile on his face, he patted Ren Baqian's shoulder and staggered out of the door.
"Prince Ren, cough cough, congratulations." Mister Emptiness followed closely behind.
No matter what the others were thinking, they had to come up and congratulate him.
However, these people were not as carefree as Ning Caichen and Mister Emptiness. After all, this wasn't their goal.
As for the rest of the people, they couldn't say that Ren Baqian, who was merely a Secondary class, Rank 6 martial artist, actually became Qi Zixiao's husband in the blink of an eye. No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't accept it either.
There were so many people who were much stronger than him. Why did it have to be him?
The impression that Ren Baqian gave them, other than being a fox exploiting the tiger's might at the Honglu Bureau, was his flattery tonight.
However, how could he become the husband of the seventh most powerful expert in the world and the empress of Dayao, Qi Zixiao?
They couldn't accept it! They couldn't accept it! They couldn't accept it!
These three words were practically written on their faces. However, they still squeezed out a smile from their wrinkled faces, congratulated him, and quickly walked out of the palace.
The two people from the Zhang family were also among them. After leaving the palace, they became despondent.
Zhang Heqi asked, "Why?"
Zhang Heju asked, "Why?"
All the way back to the relay station of the Honglu Bureau, the two of them were still mumbling, "Why?"
Zhang Junzheng looked at his two nephews and shook his head slightly. He knew why they were like this. Not only the two of them, but the rest of the people also had the same mentality. Seeing a person who was far inferior to them receiving the favor of Qi Zixiao and even becoming her husband, everyone felt unbalanced.
However, he was thinking about another matter. Now that Dayao's Qi Zixiao had actually chosen such a person to become her husband, would there be any changes in Dayao's imperial court?
One had to know that this person wasn't an aboriginal. If he wanted to obtain support from the aboriginals, it would be difficult for him to do so. In that case, what would he do?
When everyone was halfway out, Ren Baqian was surrounded by a few guards. Just now, the incident happened too suddenly, and no one could react in time.
No matter what, they had to protect Ren Baqian first.
Otherwise, if Ren Baqian suddenly met a lunatic in this hall and something happened to him, they wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.
However, none of the officials mentioned this matter just now, so it wasn't as if they didn't have such thoughts.
"Storyteller Ren, I will bring some people to escort you back to the beast park to retrieve your things and move them into the palace." A moment later, Xin Zhe appeared in front of Ren Baqian. She scanned him over and over again, trying to figure out why the empress would make such a decision.
"Storyteller Ren!" Seeing that he was still standing there in a daze, Xin Zhe called him again and repeated what she said.
This time, Ren Baqian came back to his senses. When he heard what Xin Zhe said, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there a need to be so fast? The empress has just said what she said, and the other side hasn't finished discussing it yet, yet she wants me to move into the palace? Furthermore, even if the discussion is over, shouldn't I move into the palace directly? No matter what, it should be after the wedding, right? "
At this moment, he didn't know what to say. He was really panicking.
The husband of the empress, the strongest expert in Dayao, the seventh most powerful expert in the world, and also the husband of a peerless beauty. It sounded wonderful.
However, this matter wouldn't be so simple no matter how he thought about it.
Who was Qi Zixiao? The seventh most powerful expert in the world, an existence that could tear down a city wall with one hand.
What about him? He couldn't do anything. Other than knowing some things that the people of this world didn't know, what else did he have?
Just like how an elephant would take a fancy to an ant? Would the empress take a fancy to him?
No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible.
Looking at it from another perspective, even if the empress really took a fancy to him, would he dare to stay by her side?
Perhaps when she wasn't paying attention, his bones and flesh would turn into mush.
The difference in strength was really too big.
Ren Baqian also knew that it was useless for him to panic now. He hoped that those big shots over there would quickly persuade the empress to rescind her order. He would definitely be deeply grateful and offer memorial tablets to them.
Even Zhe Kouhai, who he previously felt was a scoundrel, now felt that he was really a good person.
If he had known that things would turn out like this, he would have kept a lower profile. Originally, he wanted to send a red packet to the eunuch of the Fire Beacon whom he liked a lot after returning to Earth. Now, he wanted to go back and fight it out with him.
That sentence was indeed very good, and his bootlicking should have been very good as well. However, he didn't expect the empress to not play her cards according to common sense.
Back at the beast park, Caretaker Shi saw Ren Baqian being escorted back by a few guards. One of them was even a prince guard commander. He hurriedly went forward and saw Ren Baqian's deeply worried face. Immediately, he asked Xin Zhe in a low voice, "Madam, did Storyteller Ren commit a crime?"
"No, pack up his things and bring them to the palace," Xin Zhe said straightforwardly.
Ren Baqian's house was filled with all kinds of miscellaneous things. A sleeping bag, a pistol, a grenade, a bedsheet from Earth, an e-book, a camera, a small bag of sweets, and a short knife that someone gave him.
Ren Baqian watched as everyone packed up his things. Then, he turned to Caretaker Shi with a sullen face and said, "Help me take care of these two little fellows. Also, make sure they don't slack off on the two plots of land."
At this moment, he felt that he was like a commoner who was being robbed.
