Volume II, Chapter 60: The Feast

With the heavy snow falling one after another, this magnificent Daheng Palace was covered with a thick layer of jade sand.

Stepping on the flat palace ground, there was a "creaking" sound of stepping on snow.

It's a pity that such a flawless scene was ruined by the group of big bears in official robes in front of them.

The snow seems to be getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that it will not be long before the whole land will be covered with this layer of snow.

Following the footsteps of his predecessors, Xing Shengbin came to the side hall of the main hall in the Wanshou Palace to rest.

At this time, the three main halls of Wanshou Palace are all in full swing of preparations, and a group of officials who arrived here in advance can only wait for arrangements in the side hall.

Looking at the strange adults around him, Xing Shengbin could only silently find a remote corner, trying not to disturb these people.

On the officialdom, the invisible bloody wind and rain, it is better to be careful, Xing Shengbin, who was sitting on the chair, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep with his hands.

Although there are many stoves burning in the side hall, the tall roof makes the side hall still in a very cold state.

This point may not be anything to the veterans of officialdom who have been watching for a long time, but for Xing Shengbin, he is a little prepared not to do it, so he can only hold his hands, like a landlord and old wealth shrunk there.

The improvement of the realm will naturally have a certain ability to keep out the cold, but Xing Shengbin's realm only has a realm of Qi Sea Realm, and it has not reached the point of keeping out the cold at all, so it can only be so.

There is a legend among the cultivation of soldiers, in addition to the realm of cultivation, there is also a realm, which is called the 'realm of martial arts'.

In the rumors of the rivers and lakes, the realm of martial arts is divided into three realms, the first realm is not afraid of the cold, it is rumored that the cultivator will achieve such an effect when he reaches a certain realm, and the reason why the rumor is not afraid of the cold is because he has mastered the true yuan that will be condensed and scattered on the surface of the body again, so as to maintain the internal temperature of the body, and the truth is not known.

The second realm is not afraid of the heat, and in the same way as not being afraid of the cold, it is also the mastery of scattering the true essence on the surface of the body, but this time it is to prevent the invasion of the external hot temperature.

The third realm is cold and heat, although the three realms are similar, but looking at it, Xing Shengbin doesn't seem to have seen such a soldier and monk.

The true element cultivated by the soldiers, in the final analysis, is the human body itself, and if they want to resist the severe cold and heat, they can only reach the second great realm, the last small realm, at the beginning, will they initially contact the aura of heaven and earth, thus changing the temperature within a limited radius of the body.

There seems to be no other way, and of course the Dharma of the Holy Way is not among them.

Holy Dao monks, who are not mortals, can easily dispel the cold and heat near their bodies as long as they release a little talisman spell, and they can also wear some special auxiliary magic weapons if they don't want to be so troublesome.

Because of the properties of the selected materials, after refining, the magic weapon will naturally have some special abilities to ward off the cold and avoid the heat, so naturally there is no need to talk about it.

At this time, Xing Shengbin can completely urge the ice silkworm treasure clothes he is wearing, but in that way, it will exude innate true qi, this is the palace inside, such an obvious innate true qi, maybe it will cause some unnecessary trouble, or honestly starve and freeze.

Time passed minute by minute, and as more and more people in the side hall increased, the temperature of the side hall here finally rose a lot.

But the state banquet is about to begin,

One by one, the little eunuchs introduced all the adults in the side hall into the main hall one by one, and everything will be carried out in the main hall when it snows today.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the side hall, and in the end, he was the only one left, and Xing Shengbin couldn't sit still, what did he mean? Why did he stay here.

Xing Shengbin couldn't help but stand up, walked around in this empty side hall, and waited for a while, a little eunuch in a thick yellow robe ran in from outside, and the heavy gasping sound made a cloud of white hot air appear on his lips.

The little eunuch in the yellow robe asked as soon as he entered the door:

"This lord, may I ask if it is Dali Temple, Xing Shengbin and Shengbin. ”

He had been waiting impatiently to punish Sheng Bin, and hurriedly returned the salute.

Although I don't really understand the rules of the palace, those who can wear yellow robes are definitely the emperor's personal guards and eunuchs.

The little eunuch in the yellow robe wiped the sweat from his forehead, gasped and said:

"Oh, Master Xing, we've found you, hurry up with me to the main hall, and the feast will begin soon." ”

Xing Shengbin hurriedly followed behind the little eunuch and went to the main hall.

The main hall was already full of officials, and at this time they were all sitting at the table and waiting, and the arrival of Xing Shengbin immediately attracted the sideways attention of a group of officials.

The people who could let the little eunuch beside the emperor personally lead them, everyone was puzzled and puzzled by Xing Shengbin, a man wearing an eight-grade official robe.

Under the guidance of the little eunuch in the yellow robe, Xing Shengbin actually came to the center of the main hall, the closest to the vicinity of the dragon chair.

Looking at the one or two court officials around him, Xing Shengbin had a headache, but fortunately, he was not the only one.

Xing Shengbin looked around, within three blocks of his body, there were all young people of eight or nine grades, it seemed that these people should be this year's provincial capitals.

After sitting down, Xing Shengbin saluted a few people, but the distance between them was farther, and if he wanted to talk from ear to ear, it was obviously a little too prominent, just a slight salute, Xing Shengbin sat honestly in place and waited quietly.

Feeling the hunger in his belly, Xing Shengbin could only endure it silently, from noon to now, it has been three hours and six hours.

There was a little food in the side hall, but there were too many big guys, and it was not his turn to stretch out his hand, and the plate was already empty, so he could only be hungry.

"The emperor has arrived. ”

A shrill voice came, and everyone who was originally kneeling quickly straightened up and exclaimed one by one:

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

With a few footsteps, another shrill voice shouted:

"Flat. ”

Then the crowd, who knelt on the ground, cried out:

"Long live thanks. ”

All of them resumed their seating, but at this time, everyone's sitting posture was much more upright than before the emperor came.

Although he was sitting in the area closest to the dragon chair, the distance was also thirty or forty meters, in order not to make himself too special, Xing Shengbin did not deliberately look at what the emperor of the Great Heng Kingdom who had been in charge of the society for one hundred and sixty years was like, just silently lowered his head and quietly waited for the banquet to start.

It didn't take long for the shrill voice to come again:

"The emperor has a decree to hold a banquet and serve food. ”

As the voice fell, women in white palace clothes walked in with golden plates, one after another, three in and three out, and many plates with lids were placed in front of everyone, and one by one the barbecue grills were pushed in front of everyone.

Everyone's small table is a slightly smaller coffee table, and more than a dozen dishes are already full, or barbecue dishes, so it should be three or four tables to eat together.

This made Xing Shengbin, who had been hungry for a long time, suddenly 'gurgling' in his stomach.

The instinctive reaction of the human being is like this, although it can forcibly suppress the movements of the hands and feet, but it cannot do it, resisting the physiological activities of the internal organs and organs of the body.

"Unsealed. ”

Finally ready to eat, before Xing Shengbin could reach out for the golden lid, a palace maid had already taken a step ahead of him and opened the lid of the food in front of him for him.

It turned out that I don't know when, behind everyone, there was a little palace maid standing to serve all the adults.
