Chapter 21: A slap in the face
Yu Canghai observed the work of many attendants on the side, hundreds of people were not chaotic at all, everyone had their own division of labor, like a sophisticated instrument, but in just one hour, a huge competition platform with a radius of thirty meters was erected in the school field. The various scene layouts www.biquge.info pen are even more numerous, which is amazing.
"Your Highness, your place has been arranged, please take a seat." An inner chamberlain came to pay a visit. Yu Canghai is indispensable. When he came to the arranged position, he saw that the table in front of him was full of all kinds of drinks and rare fruits. Many beautiful maidservants stood behind him to serve him.
This kind of weather made Yu Canghai very dissatisfied: "It's just a competition of a few people, and it will be over in half an hour at most, why not simplify?" It is like wasting so much manpower and material resources, just like holding a celebration. There are many procedures, and a lot of time is wasted in useless places. ”
Xiao Wu whispered behind Yu Canghai: "Compared to before, this is already simple!" ”
Yu Canghai shook his head and did not speak again. The rules and etiquette of the court, after he woke up, became more and more unaccustomed. But he can't change it, the Yu Dynasty has inherited many cultures and systems of the Holy Empire, and after seven hundred years of historical accumulation, it is normal to have many rules, especially the royal family, to set an example for the world. The weather is shabby, and it is to be ridiculed.
Towards noon, the sun was high.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived!" At that moment, the guard officer shouted loudly.
Yu Canghai looked up, and saw sergeants, maidservants, and eunuchs lined up in the distance, forming an honor guard of thirty-six people, surrounded by a gorgeous and wide luan driving towards the school grounds.
"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has arrived!" A group of thirty cavalrymen guarded a handsome young man in the center. Everyone was dressed in angry horses and carrying swords.
"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince has arrived!"
"Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess has arrived!"
"His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince has arrived!"
As if an appointment had been made, many princes and princesses flocked to the school at this moment. Everyone was surrounded by a large number of ceremonial guards, either orthodox ceremonial processions, or sergeant guards, or handmaidens. sets off every prince and princess, all of whom have thousands of manners and luxurious temperament.
It also sets off Yu Canghai's shabby and embarrassed situation at the moment. Yu Canghai didn't have a guard of honor around him, so he took a free Xiao Wu with him.
Because these ceremonial guards are private, they have to be provided at their own expense. And the prince didn't say anything, Yu Canghai had no money at all, except for Qingyu, no one in this palace belonged to him, let alone the honor guard.
The other princes and princesses all have the background of maternal power, or aristocracy, or sect, or local wealthy. Take a little bit at will, and you can feed countless people. And Yu Canghai is the only exception, his mother was born as a maid, and she was killed by the queen early in the morning, where can it help.
Many princes and princesses arrived, and the officials in the school field hurriedly surrounded them.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"
"Meet His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince!"
"Meet His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince!"
The sound of flattery and flattery is endless. It stands to reason that Yu Canghai should also get up to greet him at this time, at least to say hello to many nominal brothers and sisters.
But Yu Canghai just watched coldly, sitting in his place, motionless. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly.
"The eldest princess Yu Taiping, the fifth prince Yu Tai'a, the sixth prince Yu Taihua, the seventh princess Yu Wan'er, the eighth prince Yu Xuanji..."
The princes and princesses were surrounded by their respective positions, and they greeted each other.
"Fifth brother is good."
"The ninth sister is beautiful again!"
"Sister, your necklace is so beautiful."
Everyone saw Yu Canghai, but no one paid attention to him. Yu Canghai didn't care, drank his own wine, and waited for the examination to begin.
"The Divine Decree has arrived!" A clear and distant singing harmony suddenly sounded.
Yu Canghai followed the prestige, and saw a vague black shadow in the distance approaching rapidly, the word 'saint' was still a hundred meters away, and the word 'to' was already standing in front of him.
A eunuch commander wearing a kudzu cloth arrow robe and a white jade hook and black belt was already standing in front of everyone.
"So fast! I can't see it with the naked eye! Yu Canghai's thoughts flashed, and he quickly stood up.
"The deputy head of the imperial eunuch, Huang Hao. I have seen your Highnesses. Huang Hao leaned over and saluted everyone. He has a white face and beard, red lips and phoenix eyes and thin eyebrows, and is more beautiful than many women. has a dusty temperament, not like a eunuch, but more like a born master.
After Huang Hao finished saluting, regardless of everyone's response, he raised the bright yellow holy decree in his hand and shouted: "Your Highness, listen to the decree." ”
"Erchen Yu Canghai received the order."
"Erchen Yu Xuanji took the order."
Yu Canghai and the others bowed together and saluted to the holy decree.
"Holy Message: The rules for today's examination are up to the princes and princesses to decide." Just one sentence, after Huang Hao finished reading, he accepted the holy decree and said: "Your Highness, decide the candidate and region. It will be up to me to report back to the Holy One. ”
"Decide for yourself?" When Yu Canghai heard this, his mind turned sharply, and he had a bad feeling, which completely disrupted his plan.
Sure enough, the next moment, I heard the eldest princess Yu Taiping say: "If you want this palace to say, there is no need to conduct a martial arts competition, it is easy to hurt everyone's harmony." We will decide on the selection of candidates in the order of seniority. The eleventh sister, the twelfth sister, and the thirteenth sister are still too young, so they should not participate in this martial arts meeting. ”
The eldest princess is actually the third princess. Older than her are the eldest prince and the second prince who are under house arrest in the fiefdom. She was born to the queen and was called the eldest princess because she was the first princess.
Yu Canghai glanced at Yu Taiping, his face was like a peach blossom, his eyes were bright, and his long black hair hung down to his waist, casually draped. Dressed in a bright red thin smoke veil, it outlines a fiery figure.
Yu Canghai couldn't help but sneer: "Harmony? The emperor meant that they would make their own decisions, so that they would fight. Moreover, there has never been a tradition of harmony between the royal families of the Yu Dynasty. Yu Taiping let him out with a word, have you ever considered harmony? ”
"Hongu agrees." The fifth prince, Yu Tai'a, was not in a hurry and spoke. He is in second place, and he doesn't lose anything. And there is no desire to compete, the eldest princess's martial arts are one order higher than him, and she can't win. Everyone else is generally one order lower than him, and they are basically sure to win. More is better than less, Yu Taiping's proposal is exactly what he wants.
On top of the five princes, there were originally four princesses, but the four princesses were already married to the west of the Yu Dynasty, the crown prince of the Daxin Dynasty.
"Agreed." The sixth prince, Yu Taihua, also said. He and the fifth prince are brothers, and they have the same mother.
"Seconded." Seventh princess Yu Wan'er.
"Yes." The Eighth Prince Yu Xuanji.
In the blink of an eye, everyone expressed their opinions. The youngest three, including Yu Canghai, were directly out. No one asked for his opinion and simply ignored it.
"Sister farewell." The eleventh princess and the twelfth princess stood up at the same time, said a casual word, turned around and left. They were smiling just now, but in the blink of an eye, their faces were full of ice.
was swept out of the game today, lost face, and will inevitably be ridiculed. But in spite of their anger, there was nothing they could do, and now seven out of ten agreed, and it was useless to object.
Yu Canghai narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness appeared in the corners of his eyes. He was angry, he was so ignored that he was cleaned up without even saying a word, how could he not be angry?
If it was Yu Canghai before awakening, he could only turn around and leave now. Even if you stand up against it, it will be embarrassing and will not change anything. It's a pity.
"Heh, I originally wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible and save some face for you. In that case, don't blame me! Yu Canghai thought of this. He lifted the flask on the desk and drank with his head up. He had no manners, his movements were vulgar, and his wine was spilled, wetting a large part of his clothes.
Such a move made everyone present stop talking and look sideways.
"Have you been eaten by dogs? Don't be embarrassed here and ruin the royal face. Get out of the way. The fifth prince Yu Tai'a suddenly opened his mouth and reprimanded Yu Canghai loudly, he was merciless, scolding and scolding, just like treating a subordinate.
He used to scold Yu Canghai often. Every time, Yu Canghai would respectfully apologize to him, and he was used to scolding, as if he was having fun.
Many princes and princesses were on the side, watching with great interest and watching like a play. Even the eleventh princess, the twelfth princess stopped and turned to look.
Yu Canghai didn't say anything, he drank the wine, and the spicy sensation made him feel an urge to beat people.
Seeing Yu Canghai's attitude, Yu Tai'a was furious, "This palace is talking to you, are you deaf." Waste..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Yu Canghai jump up and slam the wine jug in his hand on the ground.
'Bang! With a huge force of anger, the bronze wine jug was smashed to pieces, and the unfinished wine splashed everywhere, splashing all the princes and princesses around.
"You are presumptuous!"
"Old Thirteen, you're crazy!"
"You're bold!"
"What are you going to do?" This attracted everyone's hatred, and the angry rebuke was endless.
Yu Canghai looked around, and everyone glared at him angrily. He didn't care, but chuckled: "What is this palace doing, can't you see it?" Of course, it's to flip the table and turn your face. ”
As soon as the words fell, Yu Canghai kicked the desk in front of him to the ground. Wine glasses, spirit fruits, and food were poured out together, rolling down everywhere.
"Your rules? Have you asked Hongu yet? I tell you, this palace does not agree. None of you can go. Yu Canghai's voice was like ice, and he looked up at everyone with his head held high. He stepped forward and stomped on the toppled table, breaking it in two.
"What kind of attitude do you have? You're too presumptuous. The sixth prince was furious, pointing at Yu Canghai and shouting loudly.
"You dare to call this palace in front of me? Is there no distinction between the superior and the inferior? The eldest princess Yu Taiping was stunned, staring at Yu Canghai. The rules were mentioned by her, and Yu Canghai's words were questioning her, refuting her, and slapping her in the face.
"What a joke, what are you?" Mrs. Yu said in a cold voice: "I don't know where you come from. Yu Canghai, if you don't give an explanation to this palace today, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Yu Canghai laughed wildly, his face was full of disdain, he raised his hand and pointed at Mrs. Yu and sneered: "You." ”
"You."
"You."
"And you!" Yu Canghai waved his hand and ordered everyone in. Said coldly: "To you bunch of rubbish! Of course I have confidence. ”
