Chapter Seventy-Eight: The State Banquet

The fire tree and silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When Xiaohe was led to Mrs. Liu by the little palace maid, the twilight was already thick.

This time the state banquet was set in the Cheng'an Palace, and the palace and the Ministry of Rites spent a lot of thought, and the Cheng'an Hall was beautifully decorated.

Outside the hall, there are fire trees and silver flowers everywhere, and the flickering colorful lights are like the Milky Way falling, and the stars are full of Dachen Palace.

There are countless palace lamps in the palace, the faint candle flame is like daylight, the noble ministers wearing court clothes abound, the ladies are all full of pearls, and the majestic command clothes are lined with a hundred times the spirit.

The princesses and princesses of the royal family also wore costumes that symbolized their status, all of them were noble and arrogant, after all, this was the world of their Chen family.

Only the ladies of the noble and noble families who came with their grandmothers or mothers were dressed most beautifully and delicately, one by one like butterflies wearing flowers, decorating the hall with extra liveliness, like colorful delicate flowers poking out of the green trees all over the mountain.

Xiaohe was also dressed up beautifully and solemnly, his eyebrows were slender and long, his lips were dyed delicately, and his already fair face was even whiter. There were seven or eight hairpins on his head, with tassels hanging down to cover his eyes slightly, and a dark green jacket was pressed on the outside of the lively light yellow skirt.

Mrs. Liu nodded with satisfaction, very good, her own children are on the scene.

Xiaohe also thinks it's very good, if such heavy makeup can still remind people of the little guy in the early dynasty, it is also providential, and non-human beings can save it.

Softly to the old lady and Mrs. Xie, the second lady Xie saluted. Xiao He felt that she was sitting in the back row, Xie Yanjia and Xie Yanyun naturally pulled her to the middle, Xiao He sincerely thanked the two, these two were afraid that she would be afraid of entering the palace for the first time or make a mistake, so they protected her in the middle.

There is still a quarter of an hour before the start of the state banquet, and the palace maids in the Cheng'an Palace are shuttling non-stop, and some of the ladies of each family are familiar with each other, and some are standing or sitting together and talking softly.

In this era, there were a lot of exchanges between Hu and Han, and there were very few restrictions on women in Daqi and the North Chieftain, although Da Chen was relatively more respectful of Confucian traditions, but the rules were not as many as those in the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations.

"Cousin Xiaohe," Xie Yanyun leaned his face over and whispered, "Have you heard?" This morning a wolf was offered to the northern chieftains, but it was fierce. ”

Xiao He smiled secretly, "Yes, that's nothing, there are so many generals and the Imperial Forest Army." ”

Xie Yanyun was anxious, "No, the prince of the Northern Chief wanted to humiliate our Da Chen, so he opened the cage, but he frightened those civil officials, and Sven swept the floor." ”

"I heard that the wolf is known as the king of the northern part of the country, and it is extraordinary!" Xie Yanjia, who has always been gentle, couldn't help but interject, too, how could the young lady in the boudoir hear of such a thing.

"Ah, what happened then?" Xiaohe had to ask in surprise.

"Humph!" Xie Yanyun raised his little chin proudly, and his eyes seemed to say, you beg me, you beg me.

Xiaohe laughed out loud, "Good cousin, tell me quickly, what's going on?" The little girl's expression was so funny that the little crane couldn't help but tease.

To be honest, although Xiaohe also admires Xie Yanjia's elegance and stability, she prefers Xie Yanyun's lively, simple and scheming, which is like a twelve-year-old child.

Xie Yanyun's wish was satisfied, and he didn't sell Guanzi, "It's the second son of Qi, do you know, it was the second son of Qi who led the wolf king to the Hundred Beasts Garden, I heard that he was still a teenager, and he could actually talk to the wolf!" ”

Seeing Xie Yanyun like that, as if it was her who communicated with the wolf, Xiaohe deliberately shook his head, "I don't believe it, how can people talk to wolves?" ”

At this moment, Xie Yanyun was really anxious, and his little face turned red.

Xie Yanjia hurriedly played a round game, "It's true, cousin Xiaohe, don't lie to you, there were so many people in the court at that time, you can't fake it." ”

Xiaohe patted Xie Yanyun's hand apologetically, "Good cousin, don't worry, I believe that there are strange people and strange things in the world after all, I just said nonsense just now." ”

Before Xie Yanyun's words of forgiveness could be spoken, a loud voice from the inner servant came from outside the hall.

"The Great Prince of the Northern Chieftain has arrived!"

"The Second Prince of Great Qi has arrived!"

King An and Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites accompanied the envoys of the Northern Chief and Daqi into the Cheng'an Palace.

In order to show respect for the envoys, in this feast, the top center is naturally the position of Emperor Yongjia, and there is a seat on the left and right of Emperor Yongjia, with the seat of the North Chief on the left and the seat of Daqi on the right.

All the people in the temple stood up to greet them.

Yuwen Zhou walked in with his head held high, followed by the right minister of the Northern Chieftain and others, the Northern Chieftain was tall and rugged, and the momentum was very strong.

The red clothes also came, Yu Wenzhou did not bring his wife and concubine with him, and the red clothes had the opportunity to show up, and he naturally dressed up three points more carefully than usual.

Dressed in a red jacket and red short skirt, with snow-white fox fur rolling on the side, a pair of delicate boots on his feet, long hair tied in pigtails and coiled up, and a white fox fur hat pressed on it, it is really glamorous and exotic.

Everyone didn't know the identity of the red clothes, and they all felt that their eyes lit up.

At the same time, Gao Che, who entered the main hall, was graceful, and he bowed his hand slightly to the surroundings, smiling kindly and gently. The favor of everyone has risen greatly, and some noble girls even compared the four princes of the capital, and felt that the second prince of Daqi is also quite desirable.

Only half a step behind Gao Che is the princess of joy, Gao Yinghuan, the little girl is dressed up cute and cute today without losing her royal spirit, and Tan Hongying is close behind.

Behind these three people are the Shangshu of the Great Qi Rite Department and others.

When these two groups of people sat down on the table, everyone in the hall had just sat down, and the voice of the attendant sounded again.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Okay, he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and Xiaohe also knelt down, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" "Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

This damn etiquette, Xiao He complained in his heart, it was better to be in his original world, at least he didn't need to kneel and kowtow to anyone.

Emperor Yongjia in the dragon robe, Empress Zhao in the phoenix robe, as well as Concubine Xiao and Concubine Qi Shu, the nobles standing at the top of the Great Chen Kingdom walked to the seat directly above in the sound of everyone kneeling and bowing.

Although Yuwen Zhou and Gao Che on both sides did not kneel, they also stood up and bowed to greet each other.

Emperor Yongjia was in a good mood and laughed out loud, "Let's be flat!" ”

Then he turned his head and spoke to Yuwen Zhou and Gao Che, "The eldest prince doesn't have to be polite. "Second prince, please take a seat."

What followed was a lengthy ceremony, an esoteric ancient text that sacrificed to ghosts and gods to protect the country, and Xiaohe was dizzy to listen to it, which was also too obscure to understand.

Then there is a celebration of the friendship between the three countries, I don't know which nerd wrote it, and the brotherhood is so deep that it is jaw-dropping.
