The Star Banquet held in Lingxiao Palace today is nominally a fraternity between superiors and subordinates, so it is not a formal official banquet. In addition, basically as long as the man is married, he is required to bring his wife to the banquet with him, so the atmosphere is more relaxed. In this environment, the generals who participated in the banquet, except for those low-level generals who probably had not yet purchased dresses, most of them were long-sleeved fluttering fancy dresses, and the women were embroidered to cover their bodies and fan to hide their faces.

In the ancient period of the Longhan Empire, men and women still paid attention to monogamy. Although powerful men had many concubines, the status of concubines under the framework of etiquette was really low. Even if it is not an exaggeration to say that concubines can buy and sell at will, or even kill at will, the fact that concubines do not enter the family tree is indeed a relatively strict etiquette in this world. For example, the children born of the concubine are only marked in a unified way on the genealogy, that is, "the son of the concubine XXX, the daughter of the concubine XXX". Even in the royal family, non-descendant children are just writing "XX from a certain concubine" on the clan shop, and they can't see their real names and surnames at all.

Therefore, all banquets on formal occasions, generally speaking, even the most favored concubines are not qualified to participate. For example, today, if any guy comes to participate with a concubine, he is afraid that he will be attacked by a group, just because such an act is equivalent to humiliating Xiao Yichen, the host of the banquet, which is the bottom line that the generals in the army cannot bear.

Whether Xiao Yichen was the master of Lingxiao Palace or the direct superiors of these generals, it was naturally impossible for him to stand outside the door of the main hall of the Qinglong to greet him, so he handed over the task of welcoming Yu Xiaoxiang and Beichen to be speechless.

The reason for this is that Yilai Yue'er, Xing'er, Fulin and others are indeed too busy to stand at the gate of the temple and waste precious time. Second, she also wants the little beauty to know these generals under her command, and one day in the future, even these generals will be rejected by her. It is precisely because of this thought that Beichen will stand by her side speechlessly, at least as a commentator, so that she will not be able to tell who is who.

For such a distribution, Yu Xiaoxiang naturally has no opinion. I already like to watch the lively little girl, and if she wants her to nest in the Qinzheng Hall on such a lively night, that is the real sin. Therefore, as soon as it was nightfall, the beauty couldn't sit still, and dragged Beichen to the door of the main hall without saying a word to blow the wind.

As time passed, more and more generals and officials arrived, and Yu Xiaoxiang's welcome work began to formalize.

The young men of the Longhan Empire, especially those who thought they had status, status, or felt that they had a certain literary talent, always liked to hold folding fans in their hands. Just like Xiao Yichen said, this folding fan is not actually used to fan the wind, but a manifestation of status. Ordinary folding fans are generally made of paper as fabric, and animal bones or jade are ground into fine pieces as fan bones. The more elaborate ones are woven with silver wire and silk silk. For example, the jade bone fan in Xiao Yichen's hand is woven with Mithril silk and silver spider thread, and it is extremely difficult to find a jade core to make a fan bone, and its value can no longer be measured by ordinary currency.

It's just that although the generals who came today were wearing wide traditional dragon uniforms, none of them were holding folding fans, but there were no longer a few who hung long swords at their waists and pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand. On the contrary, those officials and dependents are different, almost all of them are flowery, holding fans, wearing gorgeous coats, and following their husbands and gentlemen.

The empire had very strict rules about the use of purple gold, which was considered an imperial symbol, and no one except a very small number of people were eligible to use the funds. For example, the purple gold bottle, except for the Imperial Saint, the Queen Mother, the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, and Xiao Yichen, who is the prince, even the eldest princess is not qualified to use it. Therefore, the same applies to the decoration of purple gold. But other than that, there are almost no restrictions on other precious metals and gemstones.

The officials and relatives who came today naturally could not find any shortcomings in the gorgeous costumes that attracted people's attention, and the pearls and emeralds reflected each other, showing the luxury and strong national power of the empire from another side. And more importantly, the fans in the hands of those female dependents.

The name of the fan is not really a circle, but an irregular circle similar to an oval. The fabric of the fan is almost unified, and it is mainly silk, but even if it is the same silk, the value is very different. The cheap ones are no more than a hundred dragon coins a meter, and the expensive ones can reach a staggering million. What's more, the value of the pattern on the fan is even greater, if it is painted by a famous artist, and even has its own unique imprint, the value is simply difficult to measure.

Yu Xiaoxiang stood outside the palace gate, every time a general and his relatives arrived, he would bow down to greet him, naturally he could look carefully one by one, and Beichen Wuyan also knew that the little beauty around him had no knowledge, and most people didn't know each other at all, so as long as she saw someone coming from a distance, she would quietly remind her first who was coming at this moment.

On the other hand, whether it was the marquis and earls who commanded the envoys of the official residence governor, or the middle and low-level generals who came to receive the reward, no one dared to look at the jade lord in front of him, who looked very young, but was wearing the clothes of a third-class female official. From ancient times to the present, anyone with a little brain knows that the pillow wind is particularly powerful, even if the jade lord in front of him can't blow the pillow wind, but following Xiao Yichen all day long, she says a word, I am afraid that it is stronger than others' last ten thousand words, therefore, every time she returns the salute, she must also call "Jade Lord" respectfully.

The little beauty who likes to be touted the most has nothing that doesn't like flattery, according to her idea, that is, to make flattery more violent~~ Therefore, seeing that those high-ranking generals have to salute themselves, the little girl's heart is written directly on her face.

Beichen was speechless and could naturally see what the smiling little beauty was thinking, but he felt that it was no problem at all. Originally, don't look at Yu Xiaoxiang as a subordinate officer of Lingxiao Palace, but no matter how you calculate it, it is also a high position of the fourth grade, which is basically higher than the commander of the detachment fleet that came, plus it is Xiao Yichen's close female officer, it is also a matter of course to be respected by these generals. Because of this thought, it is natural to watch the excitement happily and will not be reminded.
