This place isn't too far away from the Oasis.
Gu Qing Shan and the ceremonial officer were casually talking as they walked forward, soon enough they could see the large palace in the middle of the Oasis.
"We're currently preparing your banquet attire, after you've met His Majesty, you can choose your clothes, please follow me" the ceremonial officer said.
"Thank you" Gu Qing Shan smiled and said.
The Oasis palace.
His Majesty, the Emperor, and 7-8 other officials were talking in the meeting room.
Led by the ceremonial officer, Gu Qing Shan came in.
"Greetings, Your Majesty" Gu Qing Shan bowed.
"Hm, young man, you're getting more and more spirited" The Emperor observed him and smiled: "The banquet is about to begin, go change your clothes and go straight to the banquet hall"
Two maids came forward to greet Gu Qing Shan and softly said: "Please follow me"
Gu Qing Shan already has a favor to ask of the Emperor, and with so many people here, she couldn't say anything, not to mention the Emperor's hospitality, so she could only follow him down to change.
A total of 15 Fuxi upper-class banquet attire were placed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan picked out the simplest one and was helped by the two maids to put it on.
Another two maids carried a large full-length mirror and shone it at Gu Qing Shan.
His eyebrows were sharp like swords, his eyes were cold and indifferent.
His entire person looked clean, but also carried a unique presence.
"Thank you, everyone" Gu Qing Shan said.
The maids looked at the person in the mirror, blushed and giggled: "Your Majesty's presence is unparalleled"
Gu Qing Shan also smiled and casually asked: "Why don't I see your Empress?"
It was an ordinary, harmless question.
Someone immediately answered: "Empress just woke up, she's currently dressing up"
The changing room went silent for a second.
Gu Qing Shan looked at herself in the mirror and asked: "I've already changed my clothes, do I need to change my shoes as well?"
The palace maids heaved a sigh of relief.
"We still have to dance in a while, so we have to change our shoes. Please wait a moment." Two palace maids went to fetch the boots.
"Thank you, I personally prefer black, brown, and navy boots," said Gu Qing Shan.
The palace maids looked at each other.
It seemed that the Emperor's guest cared a lot about boots.
If that was the case, he would have to bring a few more pairs of boots for the guests to choose carefully.
"Please wait a moment, we will go get it," a palace maid said.
"Alright, there's no hurry."
Gu Qing Shan smiled and sat down comfortably on the sofa.
The palace maids bowed slightly and left.
Gu Qing Shan picked up a cup of drink on the tea table, took a sip, and quietly thought about the details just now.
The emperor of the empire was not a close person.
Perhaps at some point, the Emperor would laugh, but he would not be smiling all the time.
His heart was cold.
He was never easy to please, and he would never please anyone.
But today, he laughed too many times.
Other than that, he didn't see Empress around.
Empress had just woken up and was doing her makeup.
The banquet is about to start, but Empress only just woke up. Why?
The palace maids returned.
Gu Qing Shan put the drink back and smiled as he stood up.
With the help of the palace maids, he picked out a pair of boots, put them on, and walked out.
"When will the banquet start?" he asked.
The palace maids answered: "When you appear in the banquet hall"
They escorted Gu Qing Shan out.
The banquet hall's door was pushed open.
Gu Qing Shan walked in.
The Emperor was sitting on his throne, seeing this, so he gestured to the ceremonial officer next to him.
The ceremonial officer gestured.
The musicians began to play.
The dancers began to dance.
A long-haired woman sang at the top of her lungs.
The circus performance began.
Spitting fire.
Juggling.
Farce.
Celebrities chatting with one another.
Such a chaotic banquet had always been the Fuxi Emperor's style.
Because these were all things that he liked.
He liked to put everything that made him happy right in front of him.
People crowded around the Emperor, trying to flatter him with words of flattery.
Although this banquet was as chaotic as a market, the atmosphere was actually quite good.
Gu Qing Shan was led to the Emperor by the ceremonial officer.
The Emperor pushed aside the courting officials in front of him and evaluated Gu Qing Shan.
"Look, what a handsome young man, if it weren't for Anna making the first move, I'd really like to introduce you to my princess" the Emperor teased him.
The surrounding people immediately roared with laughter.
Gu Qing Shan took a glass of wine from the tray next to him.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your grand reception today"
He raised his glass to the Emperor and drank it all.
Hearing that, the Fuxi Emperor also raised his glass and took a sip.
"Don't be shy, do as you please here, I hope you'll have a good time tonight" the Emperor smiled.
"I came here this time because there's something I want to talk to you about"
Gu Qing Shan was about to get straight to the point.
The Emperor waved his hand dismissively: "There's no need to rush, let's first enjoy this wonderful night, if there's anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow"
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to stop talking.
He was silently feeling strange.
The Fuxi Emperor has always been a practical person, if there's something important, he'll immediately get serious.
But now isn't the time to think about that.
In front of everyone's eyes, Gu Qing Shan took another glass and smiled: "Then I'll listen to your Majesty"
"This glass is for your Majesty, I hope the Empire will become stronger and that every citizen can enjoy their dignity and freedom"
Gu Qing Shan drank it all in one gulp.
The Fuxi Emperor's smile became even brighter, clapping his hands: "Very well!"
He also drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
Looking at him, Gu Qing Shan felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
The Fuxi Emperor has always wanted the Empire to maintain a stable development, he hates freedom the most.
When the Emperor went to the Freedom Federation for a meeting, he didn't even stay at the Freedom Hotel, preferring to set up a tent on the lawn of the International Convention Center.
Freedom, is a word he hates.
Just now I purposely said something wrong.
But when the Fuxi Emperor heard that, he happily drank his glass of wine.
What's going on?
"Go eat something, then go dance, I'm sure a lot of noble ladies and young ladies have their eyes on you already" the Emperor said.
Gu Qing Shan maintained her smile and was about to leave when a beautiful woman with an elegant demeanor walked into the banquet hall.
She was wearing a small and exquisite crown on her head.
Everyone made way for her and bowed to greet her.
The Fuxi Empire's Empress has arrived.
"Varona is here, just in time for you to meet her" the Emperor said.
Empress's name is Varona, a member of the Holy Empire's Medici clan, the Holy Empire's Emperor's younger sister, as well as Anna's aunt.
"Little scientist Gu, we meet again?" Empress smiled as she walked over.
She extended her hand to Gu Qing Shan.
The Holy Empire's hand-kissing ceremony.
In the Fuxi Empire, it's a bit inappropriate to do the Holy Empire's ceremony, but since she's a member of the Holy Empire's royal family, no one can say anything about it.
Gu Qing Shan took Empress's hand and kissed it.
"It's only been a few days, Your Highness Empress is even more elegant than before" Gu Qing Shan said.
