After the toast, everyone sat down and started to chat and enjoy the wine.
At the same time, they were all waiting for the Empress to come and toast them.
This was probably the only time in their lives that they would be able to get close to the Empress.
They were all thinking about what to say and how to leave a deep impression on the Empress.
The people in the courtyard weren't so particular.
They made a lot of noise as they drank and ate the meat in large mouthfuls.
"Eh?
Aren't these the subordinates of the Crown Prince of the Ice and Fire Country?
Why is there a barbarian here? "
The person who spoke was the Crown Prince of the Niuke Empire.
Their Niuke Empire was originally on the same level as the Ten Thousand Martial Country, but now it was classified as a vassal state of the Ten Thousand Martial Country.
Their late emperor, Gebre, had put Zhang Xing on the wanted list.
He used the power of the country to wage war against Zhang Xing. In the end, Zhang Xing led the Magic Beast Army and his giant dragon from the border all the way to the imperial city.
Gebre was defeated and forced to commit suicide.
Gebre passed the throne to his eldest son, and the Crown Prince who came today was Gebre's eldest grandson.
They didn't dare to offend the Ten Thousand Martial Country and the families related to Zhang Xing.
But they didn't care about the other second-tier empires.
Crown Prince Iceberg's subordinates saw that it was someone from the Niuke Empire and shut their mouths.
That person had shown off enough and couldn't help but show a smug expression.
But he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
After all, this was the Redbud City. Even the Crown Prince had to walk with his tail between his legs, let alone a subordinate like him.
After mocking Zhang Xing, he hummed a tune and returned to his seat.
The people at Zhang Xing's table hated him even more, thinking that Zhang Xing had embarrassed the Crown Prince.
They all put on a sour face and looked coldly at Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing didn't pay attention to these people. He just slowly drank his wine, ate his food, and thought about the past.
Two hours later.
"Her Majesty the Empress specially came to toast you!
Her Majesty said that you are all indispensable to the big families and the imperial family. You helping these families and the imperial family is equivalent to helping me rule the world.
So, I specially came to toast you! "
A trusted minister beside Na Bao read the decree.
At the same time, everyone in the courtyard stood up and respectfully knelt down to receive the decree.
But just as the minister finished reading the imperial edict.
Many of the princes and young masters of the major clans who came out with the ministers noticed a man with disheveled hair and a dirty face sitting calmly in a corner. He did not get up to kneel.
"How dare you!
Who are you? Why aren't you kneeling? "
"Whose servant is this? Do you want to die?"
"Haha!
Those are the people of the Crown Prince of the Ice and Fire Country, Bing Feng. "
The crown prince of Niuke smirked as he looked at the ice mountain.
Right now, he was like a mad dog. No matter which second-tier empire it was, as long as they made a mistake, he would viciously bite them.
The only reason he was doing this was because he wanted to appear familiar and leave a familiar impression in front of his goddess.
Crown Prince Icepeak's expression changed. He knew that Zhang Xing was arrogant and unruly, but he didn't expect him to be so bold.
With his age, it was impossible for him to not know these etiquettes, right?
It was even more impossible for him to not know the consequences of not kneeling in front of the imperial edict.
But now that it was a fact, it was impossible for him to deny that Zhang Xing was not his servant.
He could only brace himself and think about how to not anger the Empress and leave a good impression on her.
"Boy, Her Majesty the Empress is coming out. Hurry up and kneel!"
Just as the ice mountain was about to speak, one of the princes shouted angrily.
"How impatient!"
Zhang Xing slowly uttered the two words and glanced at the crowd.
"No one in the entire Shenglong Continent can make me kneel. No one in the Western Continent or the Eastern Continent!"
