Chapter 59 Tributaries of the Nations

In the Baohe Palace, a group of people gathered together in twos and threes to gossip, and no one dared to mention what happened in the Snow Research Hall.

In another quarter of an hour, the feast of stars will officially begin, and the eunuchs will shuttle among the crowd to arrange the things needed for the feast.

Amber wine, jasper, golden foot bottles, and jade plates were neatly placed on the banquet table one by one, and when everything was ready, only to hear the eunuch shout loudly:

"The feast beginsβ€”please take a seat!"

Hearing the sound, a group of people waited to find their seats and waited for Emperor He Wenxuan to appear.

"The emperor drove to the !!"

"Ministers (courtiers, courtiers...... See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!! ”

Before anyone arrives, the voice comes first.

A crowd of people stepped out of their seats and saluted the leader.

"Haha, all the subjects are even.

Time is like an arrow, and time is like a shuttle. In the blink of an eye, the annual Star Banquet has arrived again.

I'm sure my subjects have been through a lot in this year......"

According to the usual practice, Minghuang He Wenxuan began his opening remarks, and the group waited for He Wenxuan to finish speaking before taking their seats.

"The second prince of Jianxingguo, Li Huan arrived~"

Following the prestige, at the entrance of the Self-Protection and Peace Palace, a handsome man wearing a beam crown and a brocade robe with a dark pattern of elastic flowers jumped into his eyes, followed by two young men wearing clothes of the same color.

"Jianxing Li Huan has seen my emperor, and I wish my emperor a long and blessed life!"

Li Huan walked into the hall and stood and saluted respectfully to He Wenxuan, who was sitting at the top.

"Flat."

He Wenxuan looked at Li Huan, who was bowing next, with a smile on his face.

"This is a little caution on my part of Jianxing, please take a look at my emperor."

After speaking, Li Huan took the gift list handed over by the little guy next to him and presented it respectfully with both hands.

The great eunuch Li Deshun took the gift list and sang loudly:

"Jianxing Wang Li contracted to congratulate my emperor long live, long live, long live, hereby present a thousand horses, 100,000 taels of gold, 100 pieces of rare treasures, agate jade ......"

After the great eunuch Li Deshun finished singing the gift list, He Wenxuan nodded with satisfaction, and the group of people sitting at the bottom looked at Li Huan in disbelief.

"Uh-huh, yes, yes, King Jianxing is polite."

"This is the South China Sea pearl that Huan'er has been looking for for many years to find, and I hope my emperor can accept it with a smile."

Li Huan took the tray in the little girl's hand, lifted the red cloth, and a huge, warm and white bead jumped into everyone's eyes.

"Shhh

O pearls of the South Seas! The small ones are now very hard to find, such a large one,

That's a rare treasure for a thousand years, I heard that this bead can be worn as an accessory to prolong life, warm the body and mind, and the prince of Li Huan really has a heart. ”

An old man who had seen the pearls of the South China Sea for the first time exclaimed.

Hearing this, He Wenxuan's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face was even worse, coupled with the praise of the next crowd, which greatly satisfied his vanity, and laughed loudly:

"Huan'er really has a heart, I am very relieved, King Jianxing can have such a son, it is really his blessing!

Whoever comes, there is a reward, a seat! ”

Li Huan accepted He Wenxuan's praise without humility or arrogance, and slowly walked to He Wenxuan and sat down.

"The Empress of the Silk Reeling Country, Si Ruochen~"

Before the people arrived, the sound came out first, and only the sound of bells seemed to be heard outside the Baohe Palace, "Jingle Bell, Ding Dong" came. Following the prestige, the girl wearing a smoke-colored long gauze skirt, moon-white background, and shawl purple gauze jumped into the eyes of everyone.

I saw that there was a bell chain wrapped around his wrist and waist, and the sound of jingling kept ringing between the girl's movements, which had a special meaning.

The girl's dense black silk pulled up a flowing moon bun, several hostas were obliquely inserted on the head, no powder was applied to the face, a royal blue hairpin was pinned to the neat bun, the pendant in the ear seemed to be as shining as the sun, and the flawless face was with an innocent smile, quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit.

Behind her were two maids dressed in plain white brocade robes and cyan pomegranate skirts, each holding a tray covered with red cloth in their hands, giving people a mysterious and unusual feeling.

The housekeepers and ladies sitting on both sides stared at the girl's clothes with shining eyes.

"Wow! Huan'er, look at it, look at it, that dress is so beautiful. ”

One was the housekeeper who couldn't control herself, and exclaimed.

As her voice sounded, the young ladies around her whispered enviously.

The girl slowly walked to the center of the hall and stood still, knelt down respectfully and saluted:

"If the silk reeling country Si Ruochen knocks on my emperor, I wish my emperor a blessing to the sky, and a long life without borders~"

"Hehe, it turned out to be Xiao Ruochen, I haven't seen you for many years, Xiao Ruochen is so slim, hurry up, hurry up!"

He Wenxuan seemed to like Si Ruochen very much, looked at Si Ruochen with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and raised it slightly, signaling Si Ruochen to get up.

"Emperor Xie!"

Si Ruochen suddenly stood up from the ground, startling everyone around him, but He Wenxuan was accustomed to it, looking at Si Ruochen with a loving face.

"It turns out that the emperor still remembers Ruochen, Ruochen is really happy, Ruochen came to participate in the star banquet, but he begged his father for a long time, and his father agreed. The next time the emperor sees my father, he must teach him a good lesson! ”

Si Ruochen also said coquettishly to He Wenxuan as if he had seen a relative.

"Okay, good, next time I see that old man with reeling silk, I will definitely teach him a good lesson."

He Wenxuan responded continuously.

"Thank you, Emperor!

This is a gift prepared by my father for the emperor, please take a look at it! ”

Si Ruochen took the gift list from the maid's hand and respectfully presented it to the great eunuch Li Deshun who came to pick it up.

Li Deshun took the gift list and sang loudly:

"I wish my emperor long live......

Here are 100,000 taels of gold, 100 good people, 1,000 pieces of silk and satin, and ...... pearls and jade."

"Well, yes, yes, the old man has a heart."

He Wenxuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Also, also, Your Majesty, can you guess what is in here?"

Si Ruochen mysteriously pointed to the tray in the maid's hand and motioned to He Wenxuan to guess.

"Oh? What is it? ”

Everyone's eyes were attracted by Si Ruochen, and they all looked at the tray in the maid's hand.

Seeing that everyone's appetite was satisfied, Si Ruochen slowly stretched out his hand towards the red cloth, "This is the auspicious cloud brocade made by my silk reeling country for three years, costing tens of thousands of high-grade silkworm kings, with aurora flowers and phantom feather discs, as well as flowing cloud yarn. ”

The moment Si Ruochen uncovered the red cloth, a dazzling light pierced into everyone's eyes, the light dispersed, and the cloth of different colors changed into everyone's eyes.

Flowing cloud yarn, as the name suggests, is really as light as a cloud.

The auspicious clouds are as dazzling as the sunset.

Seeing this, everyone present stared at it with wide eyes, and if it weren't for the maid pulling it, several official ladies would have rushed up to take a closer look.

And the concubines sitting on both sides of He Wenxuan stared at the flowing cloud yarn in the hands of the maid with bright eyes, auspicious cloud brocade.

"Hahahaha, it is worthy of being the first master of silkworm raising, Li Ming, there is a reward, a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Si Ruochen proudly walked to He Wenxuan and sat down.

"The Prince of the Crescent Moon Country has arrived at Ye Haoxuan~"

Hearing this, He Wenxuan's originally happy expression turned gloomy, and his eyes looked indifferently at the entrance of the Baohe Palace.

I saw the Crescent Moon Prince Ye Haoxuan striding into the hall with his two little servants, and saluted respectfully:

"The new moon prince Ye Haoxuan sees my emperor, and wishes my emperor a long and blessed life......"

He Wenxuan didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

It wasn't until Ye Haoxuan couldn't bear to stand up spontaneously that He Wenxuan spoke, "Well, let's be flat!" ”

"Thanks, my emperor!"

Ye Haoxuan suppressed the anger that gradually rose in his heart, and said with a smile:

"This is my crescent moon's peace list, please take a look at it!"

"Well, Xiao Shunzi, take it!"

The great eunuch Li Deshun took the gift list and sang loudly:

"The Yewu of the Crescent Moon Country hereby expresses my deep apologies to our emperor, and hopes that our emperor can forgive Yewu for his disrespect......

And 100 pieces of rare antiques to my emperor, I hope my emperor smiles! ”

After the great eunuch finished singing the gift list, He Wenxuan still looked at Ye Haoxuan with a sinking face, and said slowly:

"Even so, it's not good for me to wave the face of the Crescent Moon King, so the Crescent Moon Prince will live in my Heavenly Star!

I hope that the Crescent King will remember this lesson and not make any more mistakes, otherwise it will not be as simple as two cities. ”

"No, Haoxuan must bring the words to his father."

Hearing this, Ye Haoxuan's hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly, and the moment he lowered his head, a thick hatred jumped up his eyelids.
