Chapter 577 The Royal Palace Courtyard
"I will settle this account with the Lin family sooner or later."
Su Chen's eyes were indifferent. Those who dare to plot against him behind his back never end well.
If before, Su Chen's grudge was limited to the two juniors of the Lin family, Lin Wei and Lin Cheng, but now, the scope of this grudge has expanded to the entire Lin family.
"Little friend Chen, actually I am here this time to give you an invitation."
King He Yandan got to the point.
"What invitation?"
Su Chen asked.
King He Yandan took out an invitation. This invitation was gilded with a gem in the middle. It was the most luxurious invitation Su Chen had ever seen in his life.
"The Empress Dowager in the palace has her birthday next month. According to the Empress Dowager's wishes, she wants to make it a lively event, so she invites the rich and powerful of the imperial capital, as well as top figures from all walks of life."
"You are the champion of the alchemy competition, and you are considered a new member of the imperial capital. You are also invited, so I came here today specifically to bring you the invitation."
Su Chen took the invitation and said, "The Queen Mother's birthday party?"
King He Yandan nodded: "How about it, do you want to go and have a look? In my opinion, this is a good occasion for you. Many young talents of the imperial capital will be invited to the banquet. Maybe there will be an opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas." ”
"Okay, I'll go."
Su Chen put away the invitation and thanked King He Yandan.
…
For the next period of time, Su Chen continued to practice with concentration.
The time soon came to the beginning of next month, the day of the Queen Mother’s birthday banquet.
Early in the morning, Su Chen woke up from meditation.
If anyone was present at this moment, they would have noticed that there seemed to be two invisible small swords spinning in his newly opened eyes.
"Finally, I have cultivated the "Ninth Level of Sword Origin" to the third level."
Su Chen felt the true meaning of swordsmanship surging in his body. For a moment, affected by the sharp energy of swordsmanship, his whole body was like a sharp sword soaring to the sky. The momentum was astonishing, as if it could poke a hole in the sky.
moment.
Su Chen calmed down his momentum, took a bath with hot water, and changed his clothes.
Then, he walked out of the gate of Rongxian Chamber of Commerce and walked towards the palace.
The Queen Mother's birthday banquet was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the palace.
In this life, Su Chen came to the Yunyuan Empire Palace for the first time. Looking from a distance, the entire palace complex stretches endlessly and is quite spectacular.
The Liu family, the royal family of the Yunyuan Empire, has been working here for more than seven hundred years.
As far as Su Chen knew, the Liu family, the royal family of the Yunyuan Empire, was a branch of the Liu family, one of the eight ancient families in Dongzhou.
It is precisely because of this that although the Yunyuan Empire is relatively weak among the Thirteen Kingdoms of East Continent, it has always been able to maintain peace without any war. The reason is the support and protection of the Liu family.
Su Chen came to the entrance of the palace and showed the invitation given to him by King He Yandan to the palace guard.
"Hey, Mr. Chen?" A voice came from behind.
Su Chen looked back and saw the head of the Guan family, Guan Fan, dressed in military uniform, striding from behind with a group of senior officials of the Guan family.
"Guan Guogong."
Su Chen said hello.
Guan Fan looked in high spirits. He smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is also here to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"
"Yes, what a coincidence, I met Guan Guogong again."
Su Chen also smiled. The Guan family is a royal family and its status in the imperial capital is second only to the royal family. It is normal for them to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
"Where's Concubine Guan?" Su Chen asked.
"She returned to the palace a while ago. If nothing else, she should also attend today's birthday banquet."
Guan Fan said, warmly inviting Su Chen, "Let's go in together."
Su Chen and Guan Fan walked side by side towards the palace gate.
At this moment, many dignitaries from the imperial capital gathered at the entrance of the palace to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. They were all very surprised when they saw Su Chen and Guan Fan walking side by side!
What surprised them was that Guan Fan, as a dignified prince, would actually walk side by side with a very young boy?
The young man was wearing a black mask, and someone recognized him. He was the first place winner in the Imperial Capital Alchemy Competition that had ended.
Some people recognized that the young man was still the owner of the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce, which had recently become famous in the imperial capital.
However, that's just it. What kind of charm does a young alchemy genius and a businessman have that can make Guan Guogong such a courteous and virtuous corporal walk side by side with him?
Many people's expressions were full of confusion, and the looks they looked at Su Chen were filled with all kinds of expressions.
In this way, Su Chen and Guan Fan walked into the palace gate.
As soon as I entered the palace gate, I felt a burst of fresh air blowing on my face. It was the middle of winter in November, but inside the palace compound, flowers were blooming everywhere, making the entire palace compound look like spring. generally.
Obviously, this is for
