kill the immortal

Chapter 46, Chapter 46

Xuanming Hall, Great Dynasty.

An Yan did not enter the palace with all the officials, but waited in the palace early wearing neat official uniforms, standing alone under the Jade Majesty, watching the crowd of officials in red clothes enter the court.

As a living man, he has the responsibility of recording the court meeting today.

Seeing Yu Jingtang came in surrounded by several people, and Wenren Yunjian was there, he took the initiative to come forward to greet him.

Yu Jingtang, who was dressed in a purple python pattern court uniform, just nodded indifferently, while Wenren Yunjian pulled him over with a smile and introduced the people around him.

And An Yan's gaze also focused on a middle-aged man who was also wearing a purple official uniform.

"This is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the right servant She, Mr. Pei Shihe."

This man carried the aura of a high position for a long time, with a straight waist and hands behind his back, he looked at An Yan and smiled lightly: "This is your future son-in-law? He is a good-looking talent."

An Yan has heard of this name before, but this is the first time she has seen it today. Just by hearing the official title, she knows that this Lord Pei is also an extremely personable minister in the court.

Moreover, the Pei family is a well-known family in Luoyang, and they often have in-laws with the royal family, and there have been many famous officials in the family.

"I've met Mr. Pei." An Yan bowed and saluted.

"This is the servant of the household department, Mr. Ke Wanxian."

"Who is this……"

An Yan saluted one by one, and the topic quickly moved away from him, and turned to talking about today's court meeting, the meeting of the two foreign envoys.

He stood aside and listened quietly, looking around the hall, and saw a group of people walking in.

The leader did not wear an official uniform, but a very casual but expensive tan robe. He was tall and strong, with a gray beard and hair that was a bit messy. He had a fierce face, and there was no smile on his face.

Such an outstanding person naturally became the focus as soon as he appeared, An Yan noticed that Yu Jingtang, Pei Shihe and the others also took a look at that person.

Shen Tu wins...

An Yan looked at the man silently, he was the one who had trouble with Yu Jingtang, and Yu Jingtang seemed to be planning to move him.

But these things are out of An Yan's reach now.

There were more and more people in the main hall, and their voices became a little noisy. During this period, many people came to Yu Jingtang and Pei Shihe to greet them courteously.

Because today is a big court, there are a lot of officials here, and as far as the eye can see, they are almost all red official uniforms.

As for An Yan, who was dressed in green, she was the lowest rank among these people.

"The Queen of Heaven is here!"

On Majesty Dan, a female official stood there and shouted loudly, the hall fell silent instantly, and all the officials returned to their seats and stood still.

The court officials of Xuantang were all sitting, and there was no need to kneel and prostrate.

An Yan's position was on the side of the jade steps, closer to the dragon chair, but it was not very conspicuous.

The Queen of Heaven wore a red crown dress, with a dignified appearance and a majestic and noble temperament. She walked up the jade steps slowly, stood in front of the dragon chair, and looked down at all the officials.

An Yan sometimes thinks, since the power of Tianhou has reached this level, why not just restructure and proclaim herself emperor?
But what Tianhou thinks, An Yan doesn't know.

After the Shan Hu, the Queen of Heaven also motioned for everyone to sit down.

"The envoys of the Xuan and Liang Dynasties enter the palace." Tianhou said directly.

The female official took a step forward and shouted towards the gate of the palace: "Xuan, the envoys of Qin and Han enter the palace!"

The voice was passed down, and then repeated by the guard outside the door, like an echo over and over again.

There were bursts of chime bells in the hall, and it was the Ministry of Rites who played the ritual music.

An Yan looked at the pen and paper on the short case in front of her. This time it was normal. After all, it was a major event on a formal occasion and needed to be recorded.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the entrance of the main hall. An Yan raised his eyes and saw a group of 12 people walking in. They were dressed in red and black.

All eyes are on these people. The tribute between the two countries only meets once in a hundred years, and some people will never meet in their lifetime. It is a rare opportunity to get in close contact with monks outside the pass.

Several people walked to the center of the hall, and then bowed respectfully to salute.

"Mu Yuanqing/Luo Zhihuan, foreign minister, have seen the Queen of Heaven!"

The Empress Dowager on the Dragon Throne just gave an indifferent "hmm" when she heard the sound, Mu Yuanqing and Luo Zhihuan glanced at each other, Mu Yuanqing said: "Foreign ministers are here, hereby present a gift from our country, and the letter of credence drafted by the Emperor Xianqin himself." .”

The female officer came to pick up the tray in Mu Yuanqing's hand. An Yan noticed that the female officer did not directly send the things to the Queen of Heaven. In the dark of the hall, there were two men in white robes embroidered with red black patterns. Holding a strange instrument in his hand, he opened the letter of credence and the gift certificate, scanned it with the instrument, and handed it back to the female officer.

Tiangongyuan...

An Yan looked at their clothes and thought.

Tianhou first glanced at the credentials, and then picked up the gift list and looked at it.

"Fire chalcedony, Xuanji wood, Wannian red snake branch, purple-eyed jade stone..."

She closed the gift list and put it back on the tray in the hand of the female officer beside her.

"Every time you come, what you offer is such a strange thing."

Mu Yuanqing bowed and said, "The Empress Dowager, these gifts are all extremely rare spiritual objects in our court, and they are hereby presented to show our love for Xianqin and your country to visit our friendly countries."

Tianhou said indifferently: "It is a psychic thing. According to the laws of my Xuantang country, it cannot be kept. Send it back to Lingzhou for destruction."

Mu Yuanqing's expression froze. He didn't expect Tianhou to say this. Obviously, the Xuantang Emperor he saw when he came last time was very satisfied with the same spiritual creature.

And the group of young men and women behind him all showed pain in their faces, they all thought to themselves, this day queen is really ignorant, it would be fine if they don't return it, why destroy it!
Mu Yuan couldn't help but said: "The gifts I offer are all carefully selected. Being close to them all year round can eliminate diseases, prolong life, and be beneficial to the human body."

Tianhou said indifferently: "Don't you understand what the national law means?"

Mu Yuanqing stopped talking.

Seeing this, Luo Zhihuan smiled wryly in his heart, because almost all of his gift lists were like this.

He once heard from some fellow Taoists who had paid tribute to Xuan Tang that most of the emperors of Xuan Tang longed for longevity.

But the woman sitting on the dragon chair at this moment...

There has been no emperor or crown prince for more than ten years, and once the dynasty has come to this point safely, this Heavenly Consequence is no ordinary person.

What I'm looking for is probably hopeless, and it seems that I need to find someone else.

Tianhou looked at the letter of credence and gift list presented by the Han envoy again.

An Yan was looking at the appearance of these envoys one by one. They all looked very young, but they didn't know their actual age.

The real age of Mu Yuanqing and Luo Zhihuan may be far more than 20 years old.

Carrying the purple jade pendant given by Master Xuanyi on his body, An Yan couldn't detect the aura of these people.

But just as An Yan's eyes were patrolling these people, he suddenly met a female Qin envoy.

He was dressed in black, with a dull complexion, and a simple ponytail on his head.

An Yan couldn't help being startled, and quickly looked away.

"Senior Sister Chen?"

The person next to the girl noticed her movements and couldn't help but hear her through voice transmission.

"nothing."

"Who was Senior Sister looking at just now?"

"A monk."

The people around her were suddenly astonished.

"Friar? Where is it?"

The man's eyes swept across the entire hall in an instant, but apart from them, there was no aura fluctuations on his body.

"That person has the means to cover up the detection, so you can't detect that it's normal." Chen Qingyan said via voice transmission.

"How did Senior Sister Chen find out?"

"Even if a person is not a monk, the aura of heaven and earth will pass through his body. Everyone in the temple is like this, but the position of that person blocks the flow of aura. Only monks can do this!"
