Chapter 277: The Palace Banquet (6)
No matter what everyone thinks, the dinner is about to start, so these sons and ladies of Xingtai Hall have also left, and they have rushed to Xiqing Hall one after another to sit down.
Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng were first taken by San Geng to join King Yong, King Yong naturally had his own resting place in the palace, and by the time Shu Jin and the two arrived, the banquet time was almost over. King Yong then took the two of them up to the banquet. By the time the three of them followed Sangeng to Xiqing Palace, there were already many people in place.
As soon as a few people entered the entrance of the temple, a eunuch chanted loudly:
"King Yong has arrived! Lord Xiangtang County, Xiangtang County Horse has arrived! ”
For a while, the banquet, which was still a little noisy because of the people's voices, instantly quieted down.
Although it is rare to see King Yong on weekdays, everyone has seen it after all, but this Xiangtang County Lord is too mysterious.
Ordinary officials didn't know where she came from, and she was suddenly named the county lord, and she was also known to the outside world as the granddaughter of King Yong. It's just that he hasn't shown up since he got the title, and there are really people who have sent posts to the Yongwang Mansion, inviting the lord of Xiangtang County to come to the mansion for a reunion or something, but all such invitations have been lost in the sea. Until now, everyone has only heard of his name, but has not seen him.
It's rare that she appeared today, and everyone wants to see what kind of character she is.
Everyone raised their eyes to look at the door of the hall, and Sangeng, who was the first to enter the door of the hall, immediately received the eyes of the guests.
Fortunately, he follows the emperor on weekdays, and he has been watched a lot of times, otherwise he would really be a little unable to withstand such a gaze.
Sangeng led the way first, and he stopped after entering the main hall. Let the position and let the king of Yong and the county lord in the back go first. So, in front of everyone's eyes, King Yong walked in. When everyone saw King Yong, they then looked behind him and said in their hearts: It's coming!
A man and a woman came into everyone's sight.
The banquet is a hollow-shaped seat, so Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng can be seen from every angle. Everyone has their own perception of the two, but everyone at the table has to admit that the two of them talk about their appearance and bearing. Definitely not inferior to the average prince and noble.
The lord of Xiangtang County did not have the same princess or married woman, and generally wore skirts, short-eyebrow makeup, and cherry mouths. Instead, he wore clothes and pants, wore a small crown, and after his hair was neatly tied up, two long black eyebrows were revealed. With the moon shuttle eyebrow style with the center of the eyebrows, it is neat and capable.
And Chai Yanfeng is a county horse. has no beard, a handsome face, a large-sleeved shirt and pants, a straight back when walking, and a straight posture.
These two people seem to be talented and beautiful, and their attitudes are graceful, and some people who have more or less heard of the two of them are also a little confused at this moment. It's not that it's just a small person from a small county. Is it still the lowest kind of businessman?
How can it be that it has not shown the slightest cowardice in the eyes of so many people, let alone the slightest bit of philistine? I don't know, I think this is a nobleman in the circle of the powerful in Changdu!
Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng followed King Yong into the palace and attracted much attention. All eyes were on the audience, and the guests had their own ideas, but it was only done in an instant. Proper etiquette is still needed.
King Yong is second only to the emperor, and no official position here will be greater than him, as soon as he arrived, everyone naturally immediately stood up and saluted.
King Yong was used to this, and waved his hand casually: "Excuse me, get up." As he spoke, he directly took Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng to the table. King Yong sits on the right-hand side closest to the central seat, and the most central seat will later seat the emperor and empress with all the concubines, princes, and princesses.
And King Yong's seat is King Yong, Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng.
The other civil and military officials and relatives were all ranked down from King Yong's seat according to their rank. The left seat was still empty at the moment, reserved for the envoys.
Sangeng led people to the seat, even if the task was completed, he was the commander of the imperial guards, and his main duty was to follow the emperor, so after saluting King Yong, he went back to the emperor's side.
A moment later, Emperor Qi Yan arrived with the queen, Yun Guifei, Qi Lian, and several other concubines and princesses.
The eunuch sang: The emperor has arrived!
In addition to King Yong, everyone else stood up and knelt down to salute, and the mountain shouted long live.
Qi Yan smiled and said, "Everyone is flat." Saying that, he brought a kind of concubines, princesses, and princesses into the table. It was not until the emperor and the others were seated that the people got up and sat back in their places.
The arrival of Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng just now caused a lot of discussions, and when the emperor arrived, these discussions were naturally stuffed back into his stomach, and the entire banquet hall was quiet, and no one talked nonsense or exchanged ears.
"Announce the envoys of all countries to meet you." The emperor didn't say anything to relax, and simply gave an order.
The eunuchs shouted out one after another, and after a few moments, the envoys of various countries arrived.
"The envoy of Luo has arrived!"
"The envoy of the Thousand Islands has arrived!"
"The envoy of Bilian Country has arrived!"
"The envoy of the Yue Kingdom has arrived!"
"The envoy of the Qianguo country has arrived!"
……
A long line of roll-call voices rang out, and the envoys entered the center of the hall in a row. It was the first time for many young people to see envoys from other countries, and they couldn't help but exclaim. Some of these envoys from other countries came from the vassal countries of the Great Performing Arts, and there was not much difference between the same Great Performers, but some distant countries, or even from more distant overseas countries, looked the same Great Performers were very different.
Fortunately, when they saw the envoys of Bilian Kingdom, many people simply exclaimed. Fortunately, there was an emperor sitting on the top, and no one did anything to overturn the tables and chairs.
These exclamations are nothing else, but the people of Bilian Country look the same and the people of the Great Performance Dynasty are too different: they are all brown-haired and blue-eyed! In the ranks of the envoys, there were even a few people whose hair was as red as fire!
"Is this a person? Not a youkai? ”
Shu Jin's ear power is super good, and he heard someone muttering like this in a low voice.
Shu Jin smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that no matter what time and space it is, when people encounter an unknown human race, their first reaction is that there are monsters.
"These people are from overseas, and it is said that they are far away from the Daiyan Dynasty and have to sail for months at sea to get there. The Great Performing Kingdom has never sent anyone to them, but they sometimes bring some strange things that are not available here, and then exchange a lot of silk and the like from our Great Performance.
Don't look strange at them, but they're not monsters, and the people over there look like this. ”
Perhaps because he was afraid that Shu Jin was afraid, King Yong took advantage of all the envoys to salute the emperor and shouted long live to explain to Shu Jin softly.
Shu Jin smiled, understanding that Yong Lao was kind, so he nodded and said:
"Don't worry, grandpa, I understand. It's not surprising that one side of the water and soil supports the other side. ”
King Yong looked back, and sure enough, Shu Jin's face was calm, so he nodded, turned around and said no more. Sure enough, Jin Yatou will not be the kind of girl who is rare and weird. (To be continued......)
