Chapter 135: Halloween

"Kneel—"

As soon as the leading Emperor Jingtai knelt down, everyone behind him knelt down, and the strange thing was that so many people cheered and bowed in a large area, but they didn't make too much noise, Qinglan secretly complained: It's really well-trained...

"Bye-"

With the chanting of the chief eunuch, Qinglan raised her arm mechanically, and she practiced this set of movements for three days before Mama Wei reluctantly said a word. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"From—"

Qinglan at the end of the line was the last to stand up, and the sun came up at this time, and the disadvantages of not eating "hard food" for breakfast were reflected, dizzy.

Fortunately, I didn't wear the "well-dressed beast" today, and the six-grade heron (complement) stood in a bunch of cranes (complements), and it looked more and more like a "pheasant".

When she went out in the morning, Qinglan saw the jade belt on the old general's body, and the four-color flower ribbon of clouds and phoenixes woven of yellow, green, red and purple, decorated with green wire nets underneath, and two jade ribbon rings were hung, throwing off the inconspicuous silver and sparrow three-color flower brocade ribbon on her body for several streets.

"Turn—"

Resisting the urge to yawn, now is not the time to replenish physical strength (eat chocolate) Qinglan gritted her teeth and insisted, so many chamberlains and guards of the Forbidden Army next to her watched.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and I heard that the foreign women are also coming, why don't you see anyone? Is it just time for the meal to come out? It's a good thing...

......

After the solemn sacrificial ceremony, the ministers followed Emperor Jingtai to the Taihe Palace.

Shu Qinglan, who had never been to the early dynasty, was fortunate to see the grandeur (outside) and restrained luxury (inside) of the Jinluan Treasure Palace, Qinglan was squeezed into the corner of the wall by the pillar, and secretly stuffed two pieces of chocolate into her mouth when no one was paying attention.

The chocolate is a little hard, Qinglan with bulging cheeks, a pair of almond eyes looking left and right, and her small heart is pounding, for fear of being caught and eating it herself.

This scene was being caught by Pei Qingzhi who was standing in the opposite team, he began to observe Shu Qinglan from the moment he entered the hall, and saw that she was eating like a hamster, frowning invisibly, and said in his heart: The woman who came out of the cold door really couldn't get on the stage, didn't the old general mention a few words about the juniors? Let Shu Qinglan openly ruin the image of the Hou Mansion? Still is... The relationship between the Shu family and the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is actually not as close as outsiders think?

The righteous old general, who had not been to the court a few times, said that he really did not know the ways of the civil officials and nobles who served in front of the emperor.

Take Yan Shifan's father and son as an example, Yan Song is over seventy years old, and he can still insist on going to court every day, what does he rely on?

Health care! Piles of great supplements, see a meal to eat.

Usually drink saliva - ginseng tea; Eat a bowl of porridge – bird's nest; Three meals are mixed with various spices, what bear's paw, abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin, that's all commonplace, and the Yan family's bear's paw tofu really has bear's paw~

For example, this morning, in addition to a rich and nutritious breakfast, Yan Shifan also drank a small glass of tiger bone wine, which was really brewed with the blood of the tiger's bones.

With the chocolate in her stomach, Qinglan felt that her body was not so cold, and her attention was immediately attracted by the courtiers in the main hall, and she began to offer birthday gifts in front of her.

As the only remaining prince of the royal family, Prince Yu was the first to present a birthday gift: three zhang long and one zhang wide longevity without borders, all with gold thread as the base, gems of different colors inlaid as paintings, the protruding golden dragon is lifelike, as if it will fly up soon.

Qinglan looked at Jin Tu and was speechless... Prince Yu is really rich (rich), rich and "silver"~

The second birthday greeting was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who first said a set of auspicious words, and then the attendants brought up his carefully prepared gift: a "giant ship" carved from ivory.

The ship is composed of thirteen tusks, and the carving is simply amazing, comparable to the most sophisticated micro-carved 3D printer that Qinglan has ever seen, the covers, umbrellas, and flags on the upper hull, the figures on the deck, the cannons, the wooden bolts on the side of the ship, and even the folded canvas and ropes, all reveal the craftsmanship of the craftsmen.

Emperor Jingtai liked this gift very much, so that the attendants carried it around in a circle, and the ministers also praised the prince vigorously, how to be filial and commendable, and so on.

It turned out that the emperor wanted to build a water division, and everyone saw it.

These old foxes!

The next one was the turn of the Seven Princes. The Dai family is also dedicated to this nephew, I heard that in order to find this pair of jade bottles, Dai Chuan ran for more than half a year in Yungui and other places before he found a whole piece of green and flawless jade core and made this pair of treasure bottles.

The Seventh Prince has also learned to be smart through Prince Xian, and this gift is not top-notch, it can be described as decent. It was rare for Emperor Jingtai to give the Seventh Prince a smile, and Li Deyu was as happy as if he had eaten ginseng fruit.

Next is the Nine Emperor Princes, Qing Lan has no impression of this Nine Emperor Princes, at this time the advantage of height is reflected, she stands on tiptoe, and can actually see the true face of the Nine Emperor Princes Li Demin through the thick human wall (gap).

Guys!

Li Demin's appearance and temperament are outstanding, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes are slightly raised, the high nose bridge and the beauty tip on the chin echo perfectly, if you put it to be a graphic model now, it is almost impeccable in every aspect.

Li Demin presented a pair of longevity peaches, he personally polished and carved, a look at the wood knew that it was worth a lot, the crimson wood grain, faintly revealed purple and gold shallow light, and the red gold flower dragon pattern entwined branch plate matched together, more noble.

......

The last prince to pay tribute to his birthday was thirteen, because the gift was too big, the ministers had to "compress" backwards, and when they entered the hall with a huge gift, everyone smelled a special aroma.

This idea was made by herself, Qinglan was slightly nervous, and a layer of fine sweat broke out in her palms.

The ribbon was handed to Emperor Jingtai through Shi Gonggong, and with a slight pull, the huge cardboard box slowly scattered like a flower.

The hall was suddenly silent, and Emperor Jingtai squinted his eyes and stood up from the dragon chair.

A huge, three-dimensional cake, ingeniously, makes people see at a glance that this is a condensed version of the Dashun territory map.

From the mountains stretching in the northeast to the broken bridge of the West Lake, the mountain bag that rises in the middle knows that it is Mount Tai without asking. The Great Wall, the Yangtze River, the Yellow Mountain, the Yellow River, Emperor Jingtai first carefully looked at the coastal areas of Guangzhou, Fujian Province, and then carefully examined the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

Like, these mountains and rivers are really like.

Emperor Jingtai was very satisfied, and the praise around him bubbled up as if he didn't want money, and many ministers from other places couldn't help but find their hometowns from the cake.

Thirteen glanced around the corner, and finally found Qinglan, poof, Thirteen's heart blossomed, and he pressed the corner of his mouth with his hand.

Qinglan reacted immediately, there were chocolate stains on the corners of her mouth, she quickly wiped them with the back of her hand, and then licked her teeth twice as if nothing happened.

This kind of interaction naturally did not escape Pei Qingzhi's "fiery eyes", the cake was very pleasing, and the thirteenth prince was really a thoughtful person. Or maybe there's someone with a good mind around him.

Emperor Jingtai admired it for a while, the sweet cake mixed with the richness of the fruit, about to hook out everyone's gluttony.

It's a pity that there is no camera at this time, Qinglan glanced at the cake several times regretfully, and used a thousand eggs and dozens of catties of chocolate, and countless fruits of all kinds, the emperor will share it later, right?

The next thing is for the ministers to present their birthday gifts, and Qinglan is a small official (this banquet invites officials above the third grade), so naturally it will not be her turn. There was a small episode in the middle, it was Zhu Yuanfang, he asked the emperor to see his birthday gift again in the evening, and the ministers speculated whether it was a night pearl or something, Zhu Yuanfang smiled and did not answer.

Qinglan's eyes lit up when she heard this, could it be that Yuan Fang had already researched it?!

******

Finally sat down......

At this time, Qinglan was already hungry with her chest against her back.

Why don't you serve it yet? Could it be that the palace feast is to eat these... Preserved peanuts?

Qinglan stared at the plate on the table, as if she was about to stare at a roast duck.

The inexperienced Qinglan was despised by Pei Qingzhi again, what kind of eyes was that, hungry wolf? Shu Qinglan, can you have some fun?

The leader has not yet spoken, how can he hold a seat? So after everyone took their places, Emperor Jingtai delivered an important speech on the Wanshou Festival.

It is nothing more than to thank everyone for their hard work in the past year, and work harder to build a better tomorrow in Dashun, Qinglan heard a stomach cramp, and it is okay to make up for the cake cushion first~~~

When Emperor Jingtai finished speaking, the palace maids rushed in and poured wine for the ministers. Next, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave a toast.

Qinglan glanced at the palace maid who poured wine for herself, with a round face and a uniform palace makeup, and found that Qinglan was looking at her, and politely gave a salute.

After the palace maid left, Qinglan continued to stare at the wine glass in a daze, there are such plots in novels: the wine is mixed with poison, the wine is mixed with drugs, and the wine is mixed with aphrodisiacs...

But there seems to be nothing in his wine. Maybe... Qinglan looked at the chopsticks and bowl again, well, probably thinking too much about herself.

"My Emperor ~ Long Live ~ Long Live ~ Long Live ~~~!"

Qinglan kowtowed like never so sincerely.

It's finally time to eat!

Qinglan couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, but she controlled that she only pinched a little bit at a time, and she had to eat more than 100 dishes in total, and the delicious ones were still to come!

Compared with the civil officials who eat food quietly, the generals love to drink more gulps, and the wine at the palace banquet is the best aging, and it is a loss if you don't drink it.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the atmosphere in the hall began to heat up, and the musicians accompanying the meal began to play the "beautiful sound", which made Qinglan fall asleep.

"Let's go", a silver wine glass that did not belong to him suddenly fell on Qinglan's "small table".

"Master Shu," I don't know when, Pei Qingzhi came over, and attracted a bunch of curious eyes.

"Master Pei." Qinglan had to stand up, what was the matter with this person? The ghost is not gone, my sister recruited him and provoked him?

"I heard that Master Shu is not married yet, and Pei has no family." When Pei Qingzhi said this, he deliberately leaned over, Qinglan subconsciously dodged, and her calf hit the corner of the table.

Groove~

This impact was still quite big for Qinglan, but she immediately regained her clarity, "Master Pei drank high. "How can you talk nonsense if you don't drink high!

Pei Qingzhi's smile and the people around him all looked over, "Master Shu, Pei's alcohol consumption is more than that, Pei is happy..."

"Master Pei!" The old general suddenly appeared and interrupted Pei Qingzhi's words, "The old man is here." "Old man, I'm still here, you dare to openly bully our children, it's really unreasonable!

"Master Pei." Thirteen also came over, smiling coldly, digging the corner of the wall and digging to the master, are you the master pinched in the mud!

******

The ministers are going to come to the palace feast, and the ladies of the family will naturally come to the palace to pay their respects, so today's Kunning Palace, "a hundred flowers compete for beauty" is not lively.

"Mother, can you also open our eyes?"

After wishing the birthday from afar, there were high-grade concubines, courtiers, princesses and unmarried ladies gathered for a feast.

The congratulatory gift was given at the front, and the waiter immediately reported to the back, so the cake of the thirteenth aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all expressed their desire to see this exquisite "birthday gift".

Jiang Guifei was proud, and unconsciously brought it out on her face, and instructed the palace people around her to go to the front and ask if they could bring the cake over to "open their eyes".

Who knew that the cake of the little palace people did not move, but it brought back a news: the thirteen princes and General Pei were going to compete in front of the palace.

Now the woman is blowing up.

Many wives who wanted to marry their daughters to Thirteen or Pei Qingzhi expressed a strong willingness to watch the battle.

Jiang Guifei was "lifted" higher and higher by everyone, so she had to bite the bullet and order the palace people again, asking if they could be allowed to watch the battle.

Emperor Jingtai is on the rise, I heard that everyone wants to come to watch the battle, so he waved his hand and was ready!

This news made compliments and praises drown out Jiang Guifei's sanity again, so let's go and see it together.

Thirteen fought with Wu Shi for a few years, and after returning to Beijing, he followed Wu Yi to learn martial arts for a few years, and last year he also went to the battlefield, and Emperor Jingtai also wanted to know how far his youngest son's kung fu had been.

Pei Qingzhi is ten years older than thirteen and has experience, Qinglan has already begun to think about how to make the other party suffer without knowing it.

However, for the time being, unless he knows spells or has abilities, his roots can't hurt Pei Qing in the slightest.

Qinglan can only do one thing: silently cheer for Thirteen and then silently curse Pei Qingzhi... He kept cursing Pei Qingzhi with his mind...

The venue in front of the Taihe Hall was quickly packed up into a temporary martial arts arena, and Emperor Jingtai sat in the middle of the golden sword, and the prince and the ministers stood next to him.

After a while, the mighty women's "army" also came, and those who didn't know thought that these two groups of people wanted PK.

Pei Qingzhi and Thirteen Shuangshuang saluted Emperor Jingtai, and then walked to the arena.

The drum beat three times, and the prince said, "It's over." ”

I don't know if this is a reminder of Pei Qingzhi or an instruction to Li Shisan.

"Your Highness, please first."

Thirteen was also polite, and chose the sword he was best at, while Pei Qingzhi chose a spear.

Entering and saluting, Pei Qingzhi said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Your Highness, how about the loser let Shu Qinglan go?" ”
