Chapter 527: The Feast of the Three Thousand Birthdays
The day of the 3,000th birthday of the Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness Night Brahma has finally arrived.
The princes and ministers gathered in the royal city had already prepared congratulatory gifts, waiting to be presented today.
But an astonishing news came out, which shook all directions, and the crowd surged: the emperor's night Brahma wants to select the imperial concubine, which will be held today, and all suitable women can participate, and the conditions are as follows......
The women who are qualified to be elected as the imperial concubine are all harsh, whether it is identity, appearance, cultivation, etc., they are all strict, and they directly abandon ninety percent of women who are delusional and greedy.
But after all, the world is big, the news spread, and countless women who felt that it was not suitable to go out before, or who were cultivating, were notified by the family one by one to rush to the palace as soon as possible, ready to participate in the election of the imperial concubine.
Time was short, and the news broke at the last moment, like a bombshell falling, causing an uproar. Everyone was talking, like an exploding pot, and they didn't know why the news came out at this time.
More well-informed people already know that when the first emperor was in power, didn't he set a marriage for the emperor, and the future imperial concubine was the Qingxue Holy Maiden of the Snow Clan?
There are also people who know that the emperor has been running around in the Nether Realm for the past two years, and he has already brought back a woman, I am afraid that he is going to be made the imperial concubine, but now why did such news suddenly appear again?
But no matter what, the happiest are the princes and ministers who have outstanding daughters, and for a while, the roster of candidates for election has been quickly reported, and they have gathered in the Tianhou Palace, waiting for the final decision.
At the end of the day, everyone entered the Biluo Sky Palace, feeling the beautiful atmosphere of the most prosperous and solemn palace in the Eastern Wilderness, feeling awe, and secretly looking forward to today's wonderful birthday banquet.
Fengxiang Palace.
The queen of heaven looked at the rosters in front of her, which were all written about some women's information.
"The Tianji Ziyu of the Laiwu family of the ancient family looks good, Peugeot is beautiful, and her cultivation and family background are acceptable. Although this goddess of Haiqiong Immortal Mansion is not bad, her status is a little lower, but she is a self-styled goddess of a wilderness clan, and if she wants to be an imperial concubine, she is still a little bit behind......"
Generally speaking, the queen of heaven evaluates it, and if she encounters anything she means, she will leave it and hand it over to the heavenly attendant next to her to record.
Finally finished reading all the roster information, and the queen's gloomy face finally showed a hint of happiness. Among the nearly 100 people, she finally selected the eight best, plus a total of nine Qingxue Holy Maidens, all of whom are talented and beautiful, with outstanding family backgrounds, and are definitely thousands of times stronger than that Gu Lanyi.
"Qingxue, it's not that the mourning family doesn't help you......"
Looking at the white-clothed woman waiting below, the queen of heaven said lightly: "You haven't won the emperor's favor in the palace for more than a year, and you have your own problems." Now is your last chance, Gu Lanyi has already agreed, as long as she loses, she will never think about the position of imperial concubine in the future, but the meaning of the mourning family, do you understand?"
Qingxue Saintess raised her head slightly, and then said respectfully: "Don't worry, Qingxue will do her best to not disappoint the Queen of Heaven." β
"How can I not disappoint the mourning family?" Seeing that she didn't understand, the queen added in a calm voice.
"This ......" Qingxue Holy Maiden raised her head and saw the fleeting killing intent in the eyes of the queen of heaven, she was slightly startled, and blurted out: "What does the queen of heaven mean, let Qingxue kill her?"
"Kill or not, you think for yourself! Gu Lanyi, a lowly woman, was arrogant and domineering before she became the imperial concubine, and she was disrespectful to the mourning family, and when she became the imperial concubine and had the emperor's favor, do you still think she will forget you, your rival?"
"Yes, Qingxue understands!" her slender hand clenched, and Qingxue Holy Maiden gritted her teeth and secretly murdered her.
"Let's go, it's almost time, there's more to do today. The queen of heaven got up gracefully, stretched out her hand to the heavenly servant beside her, and walked slowly towards the outside of the hall.
On the other side, Gu Xiaotian had already been properly served by the palace people, and changed into the most luxurious and beautiful clothes.
A small purple and gold crown on his head, wearing a moon-white dress, cut just right, surrounded by a jade buckle around his waist, and a dragon-shaped jade pendant was hung, wearing delicate deerskin boots, the whole person looked handsome and energetic.
"Xiaotian, you are dressed like this, I'm afraid that many little sisters are going to take a fancy to you today. β
Sikong Shuai looked at him, nodding and tsking: "Don't say anything else, that Princess Wei'er has come to play with you in the past two days, needless to say, she likes you." β
Gu Xiaotian was not only not ashamed, but proudly straightened his chest and said: "No, I knew that Wei'er liked me at a glance, but she was also very good, and it was okay for everyone to be friends." β
"She doesn't just want to be friends with you, she's afraid she wants to be the future princess. β
"This ......" Gu Xiaotian hooked his lips and muttered in his heart, he is only six years old, and it is still early to marry a daughter-in-law, so there is no hurry for this kind of thing.
Just thinking about it, suddenly a white and fluffy thing came out of the pocket next to him, his ears were erected, and his wings flew up: "Wow, Xiaotian, you are so handsome! What are you wearing on your head?"
The spirit rhino rabbit finally woke up, he had eaten too much a while ago, and he was getting more and more lazy, and he had been sleeping for almost ten days. When I woke up, I saw that the little master had changed his clothes, and it was so grand.
Sikong Shuai stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hug the spirit rhino rabbit in his arms: "Maomao, you woke up just right, it will be Uncle Ye's birthday banquet, we are going to eat good things." Moreover, today is still a good day for Xiaotian. β
"What a good day, is there something good to eat?" the spirit rhino rabbit just woke up in a daze, and his mind was full of food.
"It's not just delicious, today Uncle Bishui said that I want to announce my identity in front of everyone, I am the son of Uncle Ye and my mother. Gu Xiaotian was proud again, and stopped his body with some pride: "From today on, I will be a person with a father." β
The Spirit Rhino's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered its original owner: "Lord Emperor...... That's great! Little master, you have finally come to the end of your hardships, and with the support of the emperor, we can walk sideways in the palace in the future. β
Eat whatever you want, play whatever you want, step on whoever doesn't like it, and see who dares to fight back!
Listening to the strange tone of the Spirit Rhino Rabbit, but the immature voice, Gu Xiaotian and Sikong Shuai both laughed.
After a while, Bishui and Feng Shi came, and when they saw Gu Xiaotian change his clothes, his eyes lit up.
"Little young master, the time is almost up, it's time to pass. β
"What about my mother and Uncle Ye, why didn't you come to pick me up?" Gu Xiaotian wondered.
Bi Shui glanced at Feng Shi and looked sneered: "Little young master, the emperor and Miss Gu haven't come back yet, but don't worry, today is a big day, and they will definitely arrive." β
Gu Xiaotian was a little worried, even if it was him, he had heard a lot of rumors.
I hope my mother and Uncle Night have a countermeasure.
......
The gorgeous hall is resplendent and splendid, carving dragons and carving phoenixes, and the queen of heaven sits on the phoenix seat next to the emperor's throne, dignified and graceful, with a faint smile on her face, and from time to time she gestures to the ministers seated below.
But she became more and more anxious in her heart, the auspicious time was coming soon, why didn't the emperor show up?
Today is the emperor's 3,000-year-old birthday, could it be that he doesn't care about it and wants to elope with Gu Lanyi's woman?
All kinds of ridiculous thoughts came out, and the hands of the queen in her sleeves became tighter and tighter, and her heart was restless. As time passed, almost all the princes and ministers had expired, but the emperor was still missing, and even the hall below was filled with a whispering sound.
"Little Shizi has arrivedβ" Suddenly, someone shouted loudly.
Everyone turned their heads to look, but saw a child with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes and pink carvings walking into the main hall, looking only five or six years old, not very tall, but there was an indescribable aura. There is even more heroic spirit between the eyebrows, like when the emperor was young, he walked calmly and walked towards the main hall.
"This is Xiao Shizi?"
"It is worthy of the blood of the emperor, he looks so handsome, and he will pay it back when he grows up!"
"Brother Xiaotian, Brother Xiaotian!" A girl's voice sounded: "I'm here!"
Gu Xiaotian turned his head and saw Jiang Wei sitting next to a dignified middle-aged man at the banquet, and couldn't help waving at her, and then continued to face forward, saluting forward in a proper manner: "Xiaotian has seen the queen of heaven." β
The queen of heaven smiled lovingly and beckoned to him: "No courtesy, come to Xiaotian, come to grandmother." β
"Yes, Grandmother Queen. β
With such a word and answer, Gu Xiaotian's identity has been indicated to everyone, and the queen of heaven has already prepared a seat, which is located on the right side of the throne. smiled at Gu Xiaotian before letting him sit down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the emperor's birthday banquet, and on this day of great joy, the mourning family has something to announce to all the people, and the emperor finally has blood. As soon as the words of the Queen of Heaven fell, the palace people who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward and took out the edict to read it.
Let's talk about the history of the Eastern Wilderness for tens of thousands of years, the emperor's genius succeeded to the throne, and then praised Gu Xiaotian's intelligence and cleverness, and was named the little prince, and he is the only bloodline of the emperor so far, and he is the eldest son. sprinkled a lot, and it took a long time to finish.
The people below immediately congratulated, smiled one by one, and said pleasing words.
But there are also many people who have strange thoughts, especially those families and princes who are preparing to run for the imperial concubine, and they are even more surprised by Gu Xiaotian's appearance. The emperor has always been ruthless and never close to women, when did he have an extra son?
And looking at the attitude of the queen of heaven and the canonization with great fanfare, it shows that this child's status is stable and unshakable.
But this makes people dig deeper, who is Xiao Shizi's mother? Could it be that this woman has died a long time ago, so the position of the imperial concubine is vacant, and the imperial concubine is openly selected today, in order to find a stepmother for Xiao Shizi?
This kind of thought is just a fleeting moment, for the forces, as long as their daughter can become the imperial concubine, what does it matter if she is not the stepmother of the little prince? Not to mention that there is only one little princess, even if there are ten or eight little princesses, they don't care.
The first to stand up was the patriarch of the Laiwu clan and the head of one of the four ancient families in the Eastern Wilderness.
"Congratulations to the queen of heaven, but the birthday banquet is about to start, why don't you see the emperor yet?"
These words also asked the minds of others, and suddenly countless people in the main hall spoke up, asking where the emperor had gone.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, the emperor will be here soon. β
The queen of heaven reluctantly spoke, but her heart was anxious, it's all this time, where did the emperor go? Could it really be that she spoke too heavily last time, and the emperor and her were separated?
Suddenly, as soon as she looked up, a group of figures at the entrance of the main hall came into view.
"Emperor!" she exclaimed, standing up in surprise.
But I was overjoyed, and I saw the woman standing next to the emperor and holding hands with him, Gu Lanyi. The queen of heaven's face suddenly sank again, and sat down slowly.
The ministers got up and congratulated in unison: "Welcome to the emperor for thousands of generations, and have a healthy birthday." β
