Chapter 12 Meeting the Queen

This time, Han Xu slept very peacefully.

In the dream, he tasted the noodles cooked by his sister again, so his saliva soaked the pillow. In order not to be laughed at by Lin Feng, Han Xu used fire-attribute spiritual power to evaporate it.

Then, Han Xu rummaged through the closet, found some decent clothes, put them on, and went out.

At the door, the old man selling steamed buns saw Han Xu coming out and shouted, "Young master, you got up really early today. Just in time, the steamed buns have just come out of the cage."

Han Xu smiled and threw out two taels of silver and got on the carriage with two cages of hot steamed buns.

Seeing him walking away, the old man took out a book from under the stove and wrote down a few words before continuing to shout.

"Master, is that old man an accomplice?"

"Probably not. He has been selling buns here since I entered the royal city six years ago. It should be arranged by a department in the court to monitor me here."

"Then he is really patient."

"It's a good thing to be patient, otherwise where would I find such delicious buns."

A quarter of an hour later, Han Xu's carriage appeared in front of Han Luoling's courtyard. The Tiance Army in front of the door knew his identity and did not stop him.

"sister!"

Han Xu just shouted and was stunned.

In front of him, a fairy-like person walked forward. Although he was not decorated with gold and jade, he was enough to eclipse any woman.

"What are you doing standing still?" Han Luoling said.

"Aren't I stunned by my sister's peerless appearance?"

"You're also a poor talker."

While talking and laughing, the servants announced that people from the Ministry of Etiquette had arrived.

"Let's go and meet the Queen." Han Luoling said lightly, as if he was about to go to his own back garden.

The carriage traveled all the way and arrived at the center of the royal city. A magnificent and magnificent palace stood in front of it.

Although Han Xu has lived in the royal city for six years, this is the first time he has entered the palace.

As the vermilion palace doors opened one after another, it looked like a destructive ancient beast opened its bloody mouth, revealing its fangs.

Along the way, there were guards in armor guarding both sides of the road. Han Xu opened his spiritual sense and could feel many obscure and powerful auras within the coverage area.

I don’t know how many masters there are who are hiding in the dark.

The palace was far larger than Han Xu had imagined. After entering the palace gate, the carriage drove for half an hour before reaching the destination of the trip, the queen's bedroom, Kunhua Palace.

There were eunuchs and maids waiting in front of the door to welcome Han Luoling and Han Xu inside.

In the main hall, Han Xu finally saw the current queen, a graceful and luxurious woman. Time had not left many traces on her face. At first glance, she still looked like she was in her prime.

"Han Luoling in the North has met the Queen." Han Luoling bowed and saluted, and Han Xu also saluted, "Han Xu, has met the Queen."

"Bold!" At this moment, a sharp voice came.

The eunuch standing next to the queen held up her orchid finger, pointed at Han Luoling and said, "Bold Han Luoling, why don't you kneel down when you see the queen?"

Han Xu's eyes darkened, and he thought that it was indeed a routine from a palace drama. This queen must be here to intimidate her sister.

Didn't you see that the queen didn't scold the eunuch after he finished speaking?

She even picked up a cup of tea and sipped it carefully.

This is to let Han Luoling understand who is the master of the harem.

However, Han Luoling still stood still. She seemed fragile, but she gave people an extremely strong feeling.

She kept a smile on her face, but with a dismissive indifference.

Seeing that Han Luoling ignored his words, the eunuch said again: "Concubines in the harem must kneel down when they see the empress. Han Luoling, you are blatantly treating my Dawu law as nothing. What crime should you be guilty of!"

Han Luoling sneered and glanced at the eunuch. This glance made the eunuch feel cold all over, as if the surrounding space had become illusory at this moment.

Han Xu thought to himself: The Flowers in the Mirror and the Moon in the Water are indeed magical, just the look in their eyes can make people fall into an illusion.

However, Han Luoling withdrew his technique in an instant, and no one noticed except Han Xu.

She just heard her say: "My father, Han Li, is the king of the Northern Territory. He has been inherited from generation to generation. He does not need to kneel when he sees your majesty. And the descendants of Han can only kneel to your majesty."

"Do you think I should kneel to the Queen?"

"Coco, the queen is the master of the harem!" the eunuch stuttered, his aura no longer as strong as before.

At this time, the queen finally spoke. She gently put down the teacup and said, "Be presumptuous."

"Mother, I know my mistake."

"Go and receive your punishment yourself."

"promise!"

After a few words, the eunuch was sent away. Then, the queen looked at Han Luoling. Han Xu observed secretly, but found that there was no abnormality at all on the queen's face.

The scene just now was clearly directed by the Queen herself, but it was easily resolved by Han Luoling. If an ordinary person was at this time, they would definitely show some emotion, whether it was anger, surprise or something else, but the Queen did not.

This can only mean that her scheming is terrifyingly deep.

Han Luoling met the queen's gaze without any timidity.

The queen suddenly laughed and said, "My servant was rude just now. It's best that my sister doesn't take offense."

She spoke sincerely, as if she were really talking to her sister.

Han Luoling said: "Your Majesty, you're welcome."

"You still call me empress?"

"I haven't been granted the title yet," Han Luoling said. She was still the princess of the Northern Territory, so naturally she would not change her name to Queen Sister, otherwise it would be true.

The seemingly ordinary conversation between the two seemed to be filled with hidden dangers.

"It's just a matter of the past few days. In the future, we will get along well as sisters and serve His Majesty well." After the queen finished speaking, she turned her eyes to Han Xu and said, "This is Han Xu, right?"

"Han Xu greets His Majesty." Han Xu said seriously, but she was thinking about something else.

As the queen, she naturally knew about the assassination last night. Logically, she should have cared a little, but until now, she has not mentioned a word and has shifted the topic to Han Xu.

Obviously, she deliberately did not want to mention this matter.

Han Xu thought that this matter was most likely related to the queen.

Han Xu was thinking about what to say when he heard the queen say, "You are indeed a handsome man. I wonder if you are married. If not, I can help introduce a few girls."

"To answer your question, I am still young, and it is too early to talk about marriage." Han Xu said, "But your majesty is so kind. If I refuse, I am afraid that I will offend your face. How about asking for a reward from your majesty?"

The queen was a little surprised, and Han Luoling was also a little surprised. No one knew what Han Xu was going to do.

But the queen still said, "In this case, tell me, what reward do you want to ask for?"

She already knew what Han Xu did in the royal city, and thought that he was just an idle playboy. What kind of waves could he make?

Han Xu bowed and said, "I am not asking for a reward for myself."

"Last night, my sister was attacked at the post station. I heard that it was General Wang Qian who secretly took action to eliminate all the assassins, so my sister was able to arrive at the royal city safely. Therefore, I want to ask for a reward for General Wang Qian to express my gratitude."
