Chapter 52: Emperor Ming's Birthday Banquet
"I've seen three adults, your place is arranged in the Taihe Palace, please come with me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info As soon as the three of Liu Xian verified their identities and stepped into the palace gate, a small yellow door greeted them with a sincere fear and bowed down and said.
The little yellow gate was so respectful because the three of Liu Xian were stained with the light of the martial arts hall, if they were just ordinary hundred households, that little yellow gate probably wouldn't even look at them.
Liu Xian secretly glanced at Yun Jun, who had an indifferent face, and Qin Hexu, who was looking around, and sighed in his heart: Looking at the appearance of the two of them, it is estimated that I will have to deal with those flies and dogs in the future.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Liu Xian flipped his palm, took out a silver ingot, and handed it to the little yellow door.
Xiao Huangmen was stunned for a moment, his face hesitated for a while, and then he found that he seemed to have made Liu Xian wait for a long time, and took it with both hands trembling and said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord reward." ā
After the three of Liu Xian followed the small yellow gate through countless gardens and pavilions, they finally came to the Taihe Palace.
At this time, there was a long row of banquets in front of the Taihe Palace, and the low table was full of fragrant melons, fruits and wines, and the officials sat in their respective positions chatting.
Xiao Huangmen took the three of Liu Xian to the banquet closest to the door outside the hall, stopped and said: "Three adults, your position is here, according to the rules, if you are not summoned by Your Majesty, you will not be able to enter the Taihe Palace." ā
Qin Hexu's face was a little unswerving, he and the others came to attend the Ming Emperor's birthday banquet by order, but he couldn't even enter the door of the Taihe Palace, but when he saw who was present at the outermost banquet in the Taihe Palace, the unhappy expression on his face immediately put away.
Liu Xian didn't notice so much, he arched his hand to the small yellow door that led the way and thanked him, and sat directly in the position, according to his thoughts, if he didn't enter the Taihe Palace, it would be the best, so that he could not only avoid contact with the Ming Emperor, but also reduce the risk of being asked by those ministers to make birthday greetings, in a word, before the Ming Emperor's intentions, low-key is the king.
"Brother Liu, it seems that His Majesty Emperor Ming attaches great importance to us!" As soon as she took her seat, Qin Warm couldn't wait to speak.
Liu Xian glanced at him in surprise, and then glanced at Yun Jun, who was sitting in a daze in silence, and said with a slight self-deprecation: "Is it?" We're not in a great position right now. ā
Qin Hexi snorted in the hall and said, "I thought the same way at first, but I just accidentally glanced inside and was startled!" Speaking of this, he glanced nervously into the hall and whispered, "Do you know who the three of us are sitting on?" ā
Yun Jun, who heard him talk about this indifferent face, couldn't help but secretly pricked up his ears, "Our upper seat is the three commanders!" Look at the position where Yun Jun is sitting is the commander of the North Town Fu Division, Lord Xian Yukong, and my position is the commander of the South Town Fu Division, Lord Yan Feixing, and the top is Lord Changsun Xiu. ā
Liu Xian looked at the direction pointed by Qin Hexu, and the three people with cold expressions that were incompatible with the joyful atmosphere around them came into view, Xian Yukong was a tall man with a very rough appearance and a beard, Yan Feixing was similar to his top boss Sikong Yi, both of whom belonged to a thin man with a treacherous face and a cold body all over his body, and the most special one was the eldest grandson Xiu, in addition to the flying fish suit to prove his identity, he was completely a literati, revealing a quiet and elegant temperament all over his body.
Liu Xian grinned: "These three adults are really unique, and I don't know what the person who arranges the seat thinks, so three people with different styles sit together, and they don't think about the person next to them can eat?" ā
It seems that Liu Xian and Qin have been staring at each other for too long, Changsun Xiu turned his head to look at them first, and with his movements, Yan Feixing and Xian Yukong also turned back, Changsun Xiu and Xian Yukong didn't mind the prying eyes of Liu Xian, and smiled kindly, but Yan Feixing glared at them fiercely.
Liu Xian and Qin Hexu suddenly felt a chill all over their bodies, as if they had been bitten by a highly venomous snake, and they were extremely uncomfortable.
The two of them quickly withdrew their gazes, and Qin Hexu patted his chest and said, "I'm scared to death, Lord Yan Feixing's eyes are too terrifying." ā
Liu Xian also nodded with palpitations, but he found that in addition to the two of them, a layer of fine beads of sweat also appeared on Yun Jun's forehead, obviously he was also involved in the snooping operation just now.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
With a loud and long shout, a terrifying coercion suddenly came out of the Taihe Palace, which suppressed the figures of the three Liu Immortals and swayed, and the legs of the kneeling sat couldn't help but tremble.
Liu Xian felt like he was facing a creature beyond how many dimensions he didn't know at the moment, just the power that the other party unintentionally revealed was already unbearable, presumably the other party would be able to destroy his soul as long as he blew a breath, compared to Yan Feixing's previous gaze, it was simply a small witch.
But fortunately, this coercion did not last long, obviously remembering that there was a group of officials with low cultivation outside the Taihe Hall who deliberately suppressed it, and soon after the coercion was eliminated, a grand and majestic voice came out of the hall, which not only echoed in the palace, but even the people who were celebrating in the entire imperial capital could hear it clearly.
"Today is my 500th birthday, and all my subjects are celebrating with me!"
As soon as this voice fell, another voice rang out: "Toast, subjects!" The first cup wishes me a long and eternal Ming Dynasty! Drink! ā
"Second cup, I wish the Ming Dynasty a lot of geniuses, and accumulate the foundation of eternity!"
"The third cup, I wish my emperor to sweep the eight wildernesses, longevity and Tianqi!"
Liu Xian was affected by the brilliant general trend contained in this voice, and as the ministers raised their glasses and drank together, the voice did not sound again after drinking three cups.
"Just now it seems to be the voice of His Majesty the Ming Emperor's third brother King Wen, sure enough, the two princes of the court, one Wen and one Wu, are both people who have cultivated to the heavens, and as soon as the voice sounded just now, I suddenly felt that something was wrong with the whole person, and I could only watch myself drink cup by cup."
Qin Hexu sighed with seven points of longing and three points of fear.
"King Wen?" Liu Xian thought of the domineering voice that was hidden in the calm just now and couldn't resist, and muttered to himself, the first time he heard about King Wen was because the emperor was in the world.
Yun Jun glanced at Qin Hexu and Liu Xian, who were thinking with a sigh on their faces, and then looked at the delicacies that had just been placed on the table, and there was a squirm in their throats, and they didn't care that the two of them went straight to eat it.
Qin Hexu, who was looking forward to the future, suddenly smelled a pungent aroma, and the sound of chewing sounded in his ears, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Yunjun, you bastard, you don't call me when the food comes up, you actually enjoy it alone?!" ā
"Ahh Don't eat it, you're almost all eaten by yourself! ā
"Hey, you can't win me!"
Because of the noise of Qin Hexu and Yun Jun around him, Liu Xian also came back to his senses from his complicated thoughts, and watched angrily and funny as two people who were also not low in status fighting for a few dishes, but when he saw what the dish was, he also put down his reserve and grabbed it.
Grab it quickly, eat it naturally, others haven't even finished the third course, and the three of Liu Xian have already had round stomachs and are full of wine and food.
"Huh~ The dishes for His Majesty's birthday banquet are good! Not only delicious, but also extraordinary, this meal can be worth half a month of penance! Jean sighed in a hot sweat.
Yun Jun didn't know if it was because the fight just now enhanced his emotions or because of the dishes, so he actually opened his mouth and complained for the first time: "Nonsense, don't you look at what materials are made of?" The hind leg meat of the tiger beast, the treasure in the shell of the thousand-year-old snow turtle, and the last dish is actually a small dragon stewed soup! What are these things that we can enjoy on a daily basis? ā
Liu Xian also felt that the true qi in his body was agitating at this time, and the food that had just flowed into his stomach began to decompose into a huge amount of energy, and the true qi that usually ran extremely fast was now even faster, and he felt a little that if he digested these energies, it was estimated that he should be able to step into the innate realm.
After the three of them finished eating, they felt bored and couldn't go first, and they didn't have anything to say to those nearby officials, so they had to chat internally and fart.
