Chapter 154: The New Year's Dinner of the Royal Family.

Shizun and Uncle Dong did not return overnight. Although the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info knew that they were going to the royal feast and would be fine, Feng Ge was always restless, and even if he ran the exercises, he couldn't calm down. In the anxiety, a new day was ushered in, Fengge was a little impulsive and wanted to sneak into the palace to investigate, but he still held back and waited for another day to see.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the royal family banquet. Only the royal family within the five suits of Emperor Yu, or those who are outstanding and have the blood of the royal family, are eligible to participate. The location is in Yihe Garden, Le Shou Tang, first go to the Wanshou Mountain Royal Ancestral Hall to worship the ancestors, and then eat the New Year's dinner.

The essence of the royal family banquet is actually the same as the people's reunion dinner. But the etiquette, pomp, and specifications are extremely exquisite, and the first thing to enter and exit the palace is rarely opened: the Changtian Gate. Changtianmen is usually only opened for the Son of Heaven, and only during the family banquet, the royal family is fortunate to be able to go once. The ministers can only go to the Dijiu Gate, and other things in and out of the palace can only go through the people's gate.

The royal family banquet officially began. But when Shen, the huge gate of Changtianmen was slowly opened, and two teams of Yulin guards, holding golden gourds and golden stalks, lined up from the city gate to the jade belt bridgehead by the moat. Soon there were luxurious carriages and sedan chairs arriving, and members of the royal family got off the sedan chair at the bridgehead, and walked into Changtianmen with joy after being dressed.

When the time of Shen was coming to an end, the eldest prince and the fourth prince arrived almost at the same time. The eldest prince Xia Chi led the guards, set up the prince's guard of honor, and rode on a snow-white BMW, heroic and extraordinary. The fourth prince, Xia Wei, was much more low-key, with no more than 20 guards, no guard guards, and came in a sedan chair.

After Xia Ji got off the sedan chair, he praised Xia Chi, who was still riding on the horse, and said: "Big brother's peerless demeanor, he is really a model and idol for his brothers!" Xia Chi laughed, jumped off the horse lightly, held Xia Chi's hand and said: "Your praise will make me flutter and fly to the sky! is still the demeanor of the fourth brother, like a dragon and phoenix among people. ”

After a few more polite words, Xia Wei stepped aside. He gave a salute with his fists, then bent down slightly and stretched out his hand, and said respectfully: "Big brother, please first." Xia Chi held Xia Zheng's hand again, and said boldly: "You and my brother, in what order, go in together." "The young and the old are orderly, and the etiquette cannot be disordered. Xia Wei said softly, standing still, insisting on letting Xia Chi go first.

Xia Chi had no choice but to point at Xia Wei and blame: "You! are still so stubborn, everything must be done according to the law of etiquette." That's it, I can't tell you, so I'll go in first. Since the opening of the mansion, our compatriots and brothers have been divided! We have to drink two cups today, only once a year!" Xia Chi was quite emotional, and finally entered the Changtianmen first with the protection rate.

Xia Wei, who had been smiling faintly, suddenly stopped in front of the city gate. Looking up deeply, the three big characters of Changtianmen on the city tower, there was a flash of light in his eyes, and he led people into it after a few breaths. The Yulin guard closed the team, and the huge city gate slowly closed again. The moment the gates closed, a dull thunderclap rang from the sky.

After a few days of light snow, it finally cleared up today, which is a good sign. As for the thunder in the wax moon, although it is rare, it is not unseen, and it is nothing. For more than 1,000 years, the Xia royal family, with its big roots and deep roots, has long been all over the dynasty. Most of the surnames Xia, tracing back to the roots, have a bit of royal blood, the royal family tree can not be recorded, can only be based on the Yuhuang of the past dynasties, recorded to within the five suits.

Even so, there are many royal families in the five suits in Beijing, and some of them also play extremely important roles. Just like the three emperor uncles that Fengge has seen, he has a lot of influence in the army, and he was the main help of Emperor Yu when he ascended the throne today, and today he is standing behind Emperor Yu, in front of the princes.

At the top of Wanshou Mountain, ancestor worship begins. The New Year's dinner is dedicated to the ancestors, according to the ceremony, the procedure is very simplified, incense, kowtow. But not everyone can offer incense and kowtow alone. In addition to Emperor Yu, there is only the royal family with the title of prince, and other people kowtow together, and then each take three pillars of high incense to light it, and insert it in the incense burner. If you don't do this, you won't be able to end it for half a day, and you will have a New Year's dinner.

On this day, up and down Wanshou Mountain, you must walk to show respect for your ancestors. When going down the mountain, Emperor Yu was very tired, and the third brother who followed closely behind wanted to step forward to help, but he refused. Although he walked slowly, his waist, which was originally a little rickety, tried to straighten up.

Perhaps it was the blessing of the ancestors, the weather was fine, and the starry sky appeared in the unitary time, which is rare in winter. There was a star in it, shining brightly. The royal family is all whispering, the emperor star is still bright, the country and the people are safe, and the country is eternal! But if Zhang Yueran of the Xingyun Sect is here, he will definitely be shocked and immediately flee the court. In winter, the platinum star suddenly appears in the noon position, and the Lord has changed dramatically!

The reunion dinner is family affection. At the royal family banquet, they are all commensurate with their seniority, even if Emperor Yu sees the elders, he has to call each other uncle, uncle, or even what is the name of the master. Emperor Yu is the thickest and largest pillar in the royal family, but at this time, he can't mess with his seniority and violate the etiquette law.

With the help of the third brother, Emperor Yu toasted from table to table, very nostalgic, and his eyes were full of tears several times. The royal family banquet is not long, and it should be over at the end of the day. Emperor Yu earnestly warned the younger generations, during the New Year's Festival, don't run around, accompany the elders at home, and do your filial piety. It is vaguely pointed out that the child has grown up, and the parents have little time, and the year is less than a year.

The young twelve princes, with tears streaming down their faces, knelt in front of their father with sobs, imploring to stay in the palace and accompany their father to return to the palace after the New Year, and his filial piety touched the royal family present. With an example, other princes followed suit, and only the eldest prince and the fourth prince remained. The four princes still maintained, the usual humble and tranquil image, walked to Emperor Yu and knelt down and said: "The child has long had this idea, and every year in the palace to accompany his father and mother to celebrate the New Year, but he was afraid that the etiquette would not match, and he did not dare to mention it. ”

In a few simple words, he showed his thoughtfulness, the depth of filial piety, and the height of his standing far surpassed that of other princes. "The fourth brother should not open his mouth to salute, close his mouth and salute, so that the brothers seem to not understand etiquette. The eldest prince strode towards Emperor Yu, "Everyone here today is my own family, not afraid of the jokes of the elders, I have always wanted to sleep again, the bed I slept on when I was a child, and then in front of the back knee of my father and mother, crying." "It's another kind of realm, frank! Moved by the royal family who have been old for many years, they frequently wiped away their tears.

This year's royal family banquet is a feast of unity, a feast of victory, and a touching feast. Emperor Yu was greatly relieved, helped the princes up one by one, turned his head and instructed the old eunuch who was accompanying him: "Huang Companion, immediately send someone to clean up the children's childhood bedrooms." Attention! Their old things are left as they are, and none of them are allowed to be touched. "The old eunuch was ordered to go out.

Such a warm scene is not everyone's favorite. Many young children of the royal family just pretended to be moved, but their hearts were full of ghosts. What are you guys pretending to be! It's hurt that buddies haven't had a good year this year, forcing us to stay at home all day long, and accompany the old and immortal! What about the restaurant? What about the theater? What about the casino? What about the green building? Without us as the gold owners, we won't cross over!
