Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 877
Chapter 877 The Disdain of the Zhu Imperial Clan
Jiang Feng naturally didn’t know what happened to Xiao Ding when he was far away in Zeyu Imperial City.
After Jiang Feng helped Zhu Jinze repair Zhu Rongxuan in Ze Yu Imperial City, they didn’t encounter any other troubles. They didn’t stay in Ze Yu Imperial City for long, but directly rushed to Jiahai Imperial City.
Along the way, Jiang Feng asked Zhu Jinze about the details of the internal conflict between the Zhu Imperial Clan and told him not to reveal his identity before the time was ripe.
Although Jiang Feng had gone to Jiahai Imperial City for the matter of Tianxin Su, the basis for resolving this matter was that Jiang Feng had to help Zhu Jinze resolve the internal conflict of the Zhu Imperial Clan, and then help Zhu Jinze obtain real power.
Only in this way would Zhu Jinze be able to help Jiang Feng solve the matter of the Heavenly Core Su.
Zeyu Imperial City itself was Jiahai Imperial City’s territory, so the two places weren’t far apart.
Jiang Feng and the others rode either the Purple-tempered Dragon Horse or the Underworld Bloody Battle Horse and headed straight for Jiahai Imperial City at full speed. It only took one day to arrive from the start.
It was late at night when Jiang Feng and the others arrived in Jiahai Imperial City. Zhu Jinze directly brought Jiang Feng and the others to Zhu’s Imperial Palace.
Although the guards of the Imperial Palace knew Zhu Jinze, they still examined Zhu Jinze’s Primordial nameplate.
After confirmation and notification, Zhu Jinze successfully brought Jiang Feng and the others into Zhu’s Imperial Palace.
Although Zhu’s Imperial Palace was not comparable to the Bai Clan’s Sacred Palace, the layout was also the design of the Nine Palaces Seventy-Two Courtyards. It looked absolutely magnificent and imposing, with extraordinary momentum.
The so-called nine palaces were the first three palaces, the middle three palaces, and the last three palaces. Each palace was furnished with eight additional courtyards, as well as separate gardens and enclosures.
Like most imperial palaces in Zhu’s Imperial Palace, the first three palaces were used to handle government affairs and convene court meetings. The harem was the residence of the female descendants of the various direct descendants of the royal family.
As for the Middle Three Palaces, this was where the direct descendants of the royal family and the concubines lived.
Perhaps someone would ask, could it be that the wives of the royal family’s disciples do not live with their husbands?
That’s right, they really don’t live together.
One had to know that the real children of the royal family in Primordial world rarely had only one wife, from dozens of concubines to hundreds or thousands of concubines. Firstly, because the status of the royal family’s disciples was extraordinary, they could freely marry them. Second, because the fertility of the human race in Primordial was already very low, it was necessary to consider sowing seeds everywhere to increase the chances of “fruit” bearing.
Zhu’s Imperial Palace’s Middle Three Palaces were Zhengyong Palace, Duanlin Palace, and Yanxi Palace.
There was no need for Zhengyong Palace to say anything else. That was definitely the place where the Zhu Imperial Clan’s Clan Chief and Clan Head were qualified to stay. As for Duanlin Palace and Yanxi Palace, they belonged to direct descendants and concubine descendants respectively.
Although Zhu Jinze’s cultivation was only at the Middle Thousand Realm, he was the eldest son of Zhu Hongfu and his wife, so he naturally lived in Duanlin Palace.
Duanlin Palace had eight courtyards. Other than the courtyard where Zhu Jinze lived, the other courtyards were basically idle.
When Zhu Jinze brought Jiang Feng and the others into Zhu’s Imperial Palace, he naturally had to place them in the best courtyard of Duanlin Palace. But to Zhu Jinze’s surprise, he had only just brought Jiang Feng and the others into Duanlin Palace when Tu Sanshi, the housekeeper of Duanlin Palace, immediately brought two teams of Imperial Palace guards to greet him.
The guards of the Imperial Palace ran over with torches in their hands. The originally pitch-black playground instantly became as bright as day.
After seeing Zhu Jinze, Tu Sanshi was still very polite and courteous. He brought a group of guards to kneel down and salute, “This subordinate greets Young Master!”
Zhu Jinze frowned slightly and nodded, “Commander Tu, please stand up.”
“Thank you, Young Master.”
After Tu Sanshi stood up, he lowered his eyebrows and stood in front of Zhu Jinze. Zhu Jinze said, “Manager Tu, these people are my guests. Arrange for them to stay in Dongxiang Courtyard.”
Dongxiang Courtyard was a high-class courtyard in Duanlin Palace. It was usually a place where only top-notch distinguished guests could stay.
After listening to Zhu Jinze’s words, Tu Sanshi slightly bowed and said with a soft and firm attitude, “Go back to Young Master’s words. There are already distinguished guests staying in Dongxiang Courtyard.” Moreover, the Lord had given an order this morning that no one was allowed to enter Duanlin Palace without his orders. “If Young Master must bring these people to the Imperial Palace, this subordinate can at most help you arrange the accommodation of the four houses of Yanxi.”
“What? You want my friend to stay at the Four Yanxi Houses?”
Zhu Jinze was furious. Yanxi Palace was the place where the common people lived. It was already very rude for Jiang Feng and the others to stay. As for the four houses, they were the places where the servants of Yanxi Palace lived. If Jiang Feng and the others were allowed to stay, then it wouldn’t be as simple as’rudeness’, but an insult to Jiang Feng and the others.
“Where is my father? I’ll go find him!” Zhu Jinze asked in a deep voice.
Tu Sanshi shook his head and said, “I advise Young Master not to go. The Lord ordered him not to look for him in the next few days.”
“Why?” Zhu Jinze was so angry that he wanted to jump off the ground, but Jiang Feng suddenly grabbed onto his shoulder. Zhu Jinze turned his head to look at Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng smiled and said to Tu Sanshi, “Alright, the four Yanxi Houses should be the four Yanxi Houses. Please arrange a room for me when I arrange another room. Young Master Jin Ze will mainly stay with us.”
“Big Brother Jiang, you …”
Zhu Jinze had a puzzled expression and wanted to ask Jiang Feng what he meant. Jiang Feng looked at Tu Sanshi and frowned. Then, he quietly winked at him.
Zhu Jinze immediately understood what Jiang Feng had discovered. He nodded and said to Tu Sanshi, “Commander Tu, let’s do as you said. We’re staying at the Yanxi Four Houses. Lead the way.”
“Yes. Young Master and distinguished guests, please follow me this way.”
Tu Sanshi still maintained his courtesy and courtesy, making it impossible for anyone to get angry at him. Every word he said seemed to be a routine fortification. Even if Zhu Jinze and the others were to run into nails everywhere in Tu Sanshi’s place, they would still be running into soft nails.
Tu Sanshi brought Jiang Feng and the others through the courtyard and finally arrived at the four Yanxi houses.
The four houses were filled with maids and waiters. Although the waiters weren’t castrated, there were restrictions placed on their bodies. Once they thought of a man and a woman, they would feel extremely painful. Therefore, the waiters of the upper three races of Primordial world were even more painful than the eunuchs.
Tu Sanshi brought Jiang Feng and the others to Yanxi Four, so he directly brought them into a large room. After the Imperial Palace guards who followed Tu Sanshi were lit up, the layout of this large room appeared.
There was only a long, rectangular wooden table in the large room, and the table looked very potholed and worn. In addition, there was only a row of large bunks in the room, covered with simple quilts, which looked very thin.
Tu Sanshi said to Zhu Jinze, “Young Master, this is the only room left in Yanxi’s four rooms. I hope you all will feel wronged.”
“What? I…”
When Zhu Jinze was about to lose his temper again, Jiang Feng stopped him once again, “Alright, alright, alright. It’s good to have a roof over your head. We won’t pick either.”
After Tu Sanshi heard Jiang Feng’s words, he suddenly looked him up and down. Suddenly, Zhu Jinze shouted at Tu Sanshi, “What the hell are you standing here for? Waiting for your reward?”
“This subordinate does not dare.” Tu Sanshi respectfully replied to Zhu Jinze before leaving the room with the Imperial Palace guards.
As soon as Tu Sanshi and the others left, Jiang Feng placed a soundproof barrier in the room.
After setting up the barrier, Jiang Feng did not wait for Zhu Jinze to ask, and directly said, “I know you want to ask me why I agreed to stay here, and also why I want you to stay with us. Don’t worry, wait for me to tell you the same thing.”
Jiang Feng swept his gaze over Yu Zhu, Si Ruxue, Hua Ruoyan and the others and said, “First of all, I have to tell Yu Zhu that Ruxue, the sect masters of your Luo Peak’s thirteen sects are all in the imperial palace. If you want to meet them, you can go and find them in the morning.”
Yu Zhu hugged Jiang Feng and said, “Senior saved Yu Zhu’s old bones, so as long as Senior doesn’t dislike it, Yu Zhu is willing to follow Senior around and serve Senior.”
Jiang Feng looked at Yu Zhu in surprise. Yu Zhu’s words clearly meant that she wanted to leave the Cultivation Sect and follow him from now on.
Of course, Jiang Feng was happy to obtain the loyalty of a King realm expert. He nodded and said to Yu Zhu, “Of course, if you have thought it through, I would welcome it very much.”
Jiang Feng turned to look at Si Ruxue and Hua Ruoyan. Si Ruxue said to Jiang Feng, “My master has nurtured me, so I cannot leave the sect without his orders. However, at present, I can follow Big Brother Jiang Feng and see if there is anything I can do to help.”
Jiang Feng nodded again.
When it was Hua Ruoyan’s turn, Hua Ruoyan suddenly knelt in front of Jiang Feng. She kowtowed to Jiang Feng and said, “Ruoyan prays that Senior will accept me as his disciple. Ruoyan is truly fed up with her low cultivation and is unable to control her own life and death.”
Senior, please fulfill Ruoyan’s wish. As long as Senior is willing to accept me, no matter what Ruoyan wants, Ruoyan will be willing to do it. ”
Jiang Feng’s gaze narrowed as he looked at Hua Ruoyan. He involuntarily recalled the scene of him accidentally bathing with Hua Ruoyan in the Miaoyun Immortal Store.
Jiang Feng thought for a while and then said, “Ruoyan, get up first. I’m thinking about taking you in as my disciple. However, you can follow me first. If you have any questions about your cultivation, you can ask me.”
“Yes! Ruoyan, thank you, Master!” Hua Ruoyan played a cautious trick here and gave Jiang Feng her apprenticeship status verbally.
Jiang Feng smiled and didn’t say anything else. He turned to look at Zhu Jinze and said, “Jinze, your sister Zhu Rongxuan invited her master, Empyrean Heavenly Dragon, to help your father. That’s why your father is currently entertaining Empyrean Heavenly Dragon.”
“Also, your sister told her eldest senior brother about your injuries. Her eldest senior brother promised her that he would find you to avenge her, so you will stay with us for the next few days. With us here, you will never get hurt.”
