After Du Long nodded and greeted a few friends he knew in the hall, he followed his parents all the way to the second-rank martial arts area, and then he ignored how polite his parents and the adults were, and stood by himself with his eyes closed. stand up. In the second-rank martial arts area, Yang Yunfeng was the only one who was close to him among the younger generation, but his family didn't seem to be here yet, and Du Long only saw a few guys he didn't want to see, such as De Wei, Fan Wei, Li Xiaojun and the like! These guys, seeing Du Long now is like a mouse seeing a cat, and even Fan Tong was beaten up by him, what kind of farts are they? Far away, in the waiting area for the first-rank civil servants, Fan Tong stood behind his father Fan De, the first-rank civil servants. He was gloomyly looking at Du Long, who completely ignored his existence in the second-rank military service area. Seeing his gritted teeth, It seems that I can't swallow it alive! Opposite to Du Long, in the waiting area for second-rank civil servants, and behind Zhao Guodong, a minister of the second-rank household department, Zhao Lin'er's expression was also full of resentment. Her current reputation can be regarded as falling to the bottom, and she almost didn't have the courage to participate in this New Year's party today. Shame still failed to overcome her vanity! "Du Long! You're here so early!" A clear and pleasant voice woke Du Long awake, he couldn't help but opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, and immediately looked at the owner of the voice with a smile and replied: "Hehe, It turned out to be Sister Luyin! We have just arrived for a while!" It turned out that the owner of the voice was Xu Luyin, one of the close friends of Princess Huofeng, the daughter of Xu Qirui, the second-rank governor of Jingzhao. She happened to follow her parents to this second-rank martial arts area. Xu Qirui and his wife, the second-rank governor of Jingzhao, had a good relationship with Du Zhentian and his wife, and the four adults quickly got on with them. After Xu Luyin said hello to Du Zhentian and his wife, she greeted Du Long. "Du Long has met General Xu and Mrs. Xu!" Du Long saluted Xu Luyin's parents politely. "Hehe, I heard from Lu Yin that you won three first prizes in the first grade of the martial arts department this time. You are really an amazing little guy! Unfortunately, my family Lu Yin does not have that blessing. How much older are you, otherwise... ..." Xu Qirui looked at Du Long in front of him with bright eyes, and said something inexplicable.
"That's right! Such a good and handsome young man, yet someone still gives up on his own initiative. It's so shameless! Hehe!" Mrs. Xu also stared at Du Longdao with admiration. There are smiles on everyone's faces, and there is no adult who doesn't like their children to perform well. Du Long was naturally modest and courteous, and then started chatting with Xu Luyin, only to see Xu Luyin with a mysterious smile on her face, and said with a smile: "Du Long! Congratulations!" "Congratulations? Where does this joy come from?" Du Long asked inexplicably. "Hee hee, I don't know the result yet, so I can't say yet! Anyway, congratulations first! No matter what the result is, it's a great happy event!" Xu Luyin's answer made Du Long a little puzzled. While chatting, Yang Yunfeng also came to this area with his father, the second-rank General Hu Xiao, and everyone naturally became polite again! Soon, the royal family members began to appear on the stage, and they entered from the right back door of the Chengde Hall. Among them was the figure of Princess Huofeng. As soon as she entered the hall, she couldn't wait to glance at Du Long in the second-rank martial arts area , and finally lowered his little head shyly, he didn't run over like last year's New Year's celebration, but obediently followed the team to the clan waiting area to stand still. As early as when Princess Huofeng entered the hall, Du Long looked over under Xu Luyin's reminder. Seeing that she finally didn't trouble him this time, he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't want to be a The bird in his early years was used by the emperor to talk about things! It's a pity that this time he probably won't be able to get his wish! "The emperor and the empress are here!" Amidst a sharp shout, all the officials and their families in the Chengde Hall respectfully bowed their heads in the direction where the emperor came in. This time, Du Long didn't want to make the same mistake as last time, he obediently lowered his head and hid behind his parents, using their bodies to try to block his own figure. Holding the Queen's hand, he walked towards the Dragon Seat in the main hall. The emperor glanced at the officials below, and finally settled in the second-rank martial arts area. He saw the figure shrinking behind his parents at a glance. Although Du Long He tried his best to hide his existence, but he still couldn't escape the eyes of the emperor standing on a high place. After the empress sat down, the officials below shouted long live and performed the highest standard prostration ceremony, while Du Long knelt down with the crowd, not even bothering to move his mouth. According to his thinking, anyway, there are at least a thousand people in the whole hall, including civil and military officials and family members, so it doesn't matter if you open your mouth or not! Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that the emperor sitting high on the Dragon Throne was staring at him viciously, taking his disrespectful appearance into his eyes. Under the hall, all the officials did not wait for the emperor's call for peace again, so they involuntarily peeked up, and saw that he was looking angrily in one direction, and the crowd followed his gaze, thinking that they could see the stand out from the crowd again. In that scene, I didn't see anyone who dared not to kneel on such occasions like Du Long back then! However, many people followed the emperor's gaze, and finally fell on Du Long. The little guy was hiding behind his parents and knelt on the ground. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it! At this time, Du Zhentian and his wife, who were kneeling in front of Du Long, finally saw the emperor's angry gaze, and subconsciously turned to look at Du Long. After seeing him kneeling obediently, the two of them secretly relaxed. Tone, finally did not appear last year's scene. The crime of disrespect to the emperor can be forgiven for the first time, but if it continues like this for the second time, it will definitely not be forgiven! Just when the two of them wondered why the emperor looked angrily in their direction, on the dragon seat, the emperor said in his deep voice: "Everyone's family is flat!"
Kneeling for a long time, Du Long kept his head down and didn't look up. When he heard the emperor's words, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face, but he heard all the people in the hall shouting: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Once again, despite all the precautions, Du Long finally repeated the mistakes of history and stood out from the crowd alone! He was raising his head with a smile, and saw the murderous eyes of the emperor on the Dragon Throne at a glance. Du Long knew that he was a little careless this time, but now the civil and military officials in the palace had already stood up, so he could only secretly He stuck out his tongue, then huddled behind his parents, praying secretly in his heart, hoping that His Majesty would ignore the villain's unintentional mistakes. Unfortunately, on the Dragon Throne, the emperor did not let him get his wish! "That, Du Long!" The emperor pointed at the figure huddled behind Du Zhentian and his wife and shouted loudly: "Quickly step forward and speak!" Du Zhentian and his wife were almost fainted from the fright, how could their precious son offend the emperor again? 'The emperor will not trouble himself on such a big occasion because of such a trivial matter, will he? ’ Du Long slandered dejectedly in his heart, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out of the waiting area, and then walked all the way to the bottom of the dragon seat through the passage in the middle of the hall. In the hall, there was a slight discussion among the civil and military officials, and everyone looked at Du Long with strange eyes. Obviously, this brat was named by the emperor for two consecutive New Year celebrations. They didn't know What to say. Guys like Fan Tong and Zhao Lin'er who were at odds with Du Long naturally hoped that this kid would offend the emperor and be executed by Ling Chi to relieve his hatred! "Happy New Year, Your Majesty and Empress, I wish you all New Year greetings!" Du Long came to the steps in front of the Dragon Seat, immediately squeezed out a respectful smile and knelt down and said loudly. "Hmph! Brat! Don't be joking with me! Why didn't you see you being so respectful just now?" The emperor was obviously confused by Du Long's smile, pretending to have a straight face and angrily groaned.
