Chapter 17: Isn't This a Diamond?
After some tossing, the ceremony officially began.
The emperor and the queen sat in the middle of the hall, flanked by the princes and princesses, the civil and military officials standing according to their ranks, and the envoys of the leading countries who came from thousands of miles.
The palace maid supported Duan Tangtang and walked towards the main hall step by step.
When they arrived at the entrance of the hall, the palace maid retreated to the side, and Duan Tangtang entered alone.
With his feet crossed the threshold, Duan Tangtang knelt on his knees, folded his hands on his forehead, straightened his back, and bowed deeply.
Then she got up and continued walking.
When he arrived at the right position, Duan Tangtang bowed again.
Then, she slowly stepped up the steps, walked to the emperor and the queen, and bowed three times.
"Today, on the day of the Seven Princesses and Xu, I will crown her as the princess of the moon, and I will see this."
Like the moon is flawless, and it is joyful to see.
"Son, thank you for your father's gift."
Then came the intricate and endless feast, which lasted for a quarter of an hour.
Duan Tangtang listened drowsily, but he still had to straighten up and pretend to listen carefully, because his knees were uncomfortable after kneeling for a long time.
It was not easy to get through this time, and the queen helped Duan Tangtang up, "Tang'er, you will no longer be a child in the future, but don't be willful again." ”
Duan Ditang said: "Yes, the queen mother, the son knows." ”
The queen smiled and nodded.
At this time, the ceremonial officer sang loudly: "Licheng." ”
After a while, a group of palace maids entered the main hall, holding pastries and wine in their hands, and placed them in front of everyone's table.
The musicians began to play, and the dancers began to dance in the temple.
"Today, I am very happy to love my daughter and Lu, and the family is open to eat and drink."
Everyone raised their glasses, "Congratulations to Princess Tsukimi." ”
Duan Tangtang smiled and showed the public, and secretly rubbed his knees with his hand under the cover of his wide sleeves, and the pain was dead.
It's been more than ten years, and she really can't accept the rule that she has to kneel at every turn.
"The minister found the ...... of the extremely strange glazed jade"
At this moment, it was Duan Tangtang's favorite gift receiving session, her eyes were shining, and she swept away the previous sleepiness, her eyes were bright and full of expectation.
After the congratulatory gifts and greetings of the ministers, Duan Tangtang was already happy in his heart, thinking about sending these things into his small treasury.
The envoy of the neighboring country stepped forward and said, "In order to show the sincerity of our country, I specially sent the princess a rare falling star in the world, and may the princess be blessed with pure heaven and the sun and moon forever." ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace exclaimed and whispered.
"I didn't expect the feudal kingdom to have such means, and they found such a rare treasure as this falling star."
"It seems that they are well prepared this time."
"I am fortunate in this life, I can actually see the falling star with my own eyes, no regrets, no regrets."
Only Duan Tangtang looked dazed, what is the falling star? It seems strange, but why hasn't she heard of it? Is there a generation gap between ancient and modern people?
The palace maid held a sandalwood box in her hand, and the envoys of the neighboring countries pretended to be mysterious and slowly opened the box.
You'd better hurry up, you're dying!
Duan Tangtang anxiously shouted at the envoys of the neighboring countries in his heart.
Finally, the contents of the sandalwood box were displayed in the eyes of everyone.
There was another boiling in the hall.
Duan Tangtang's eyes widened.
Isn't this this, this, and this...... Isn't it just a diamond?!
What a big one!
The diamonds in the box look at least the size of a baby's fist, and they are pure and unadorned.
Duan Tangtang's first reaction was, were there diamonds in ancient times?
But on second thought, this is the world in the novel, and anything is possible.
And then the second reaction was, this can't be fake.
"Falling stars, it is full of mystery, legend and splendor, there are rumors that the falling stars are the fragments of the stars in the sky falling on the earth, and there are even rumors that the falling stars are the tears of the gods falling in the sky."
Tears...... Duan Tangtang had in his mind the legendary story of a mermaid crying and falling pearls.
Isn't this just a different version of the legend, so vulgar.
"It is pure, brilliant, and unique ...... in the world."
The envoys of the neighboring countries stood there and explained for a long time, but Duan Tangtang didn't listen to a word.
Although she didn't know whether the diamond was real or fake, she still liked it if it didn't look good.
