Chapter 265: Here it is
Great Xia is a country with a long history, and over the years, more and more etiquette and customs have emerged, and the day of the emperor's holy birthday naturally has countless cumbersome matters to be carried out.
The first is the emperor's ancestor worship.
Emperor Xia took his three sons to climb the 999 steps, walked up to the altar, worshiped the ancestors, blessed the Xia clan with prosperity, worshiped heaven and earth, and prayed for good weather in the Great Xia, and peace and security for the country and the people.
The whole process is cumbersome and complicated, and there is no room for the slightest mistake during the period, and there are many requirements, and the people who are watching the excitement below also send people to monitor them, and they are not allowed to make the slightest move.
The only needle stood behind Cang Yuan, holding his wheelchair pusher, and looked up at the small person on the high steps.
They are too far away, even if they have outstanding cultivation and five senses, they can only see vague figures, and it is impossible to distinguish what the people on the stage look like.
The greedy wolf leaned next to the lone needle and said boredly, "Can you tell which one is Ali?" ”
The clothes worn by the third brother prince are all the same color, and if they are slightly different, they can only be found when they get closer and look closely. It's just that the eldest prince Xia Ziyin's size was dragged down by his biological mother and he didn't grow tall, while the developing Xia Zili was too fast, and the two of them were almost tall.
So if you ask which of the second prince he recognizes, the highest one is, ask which Xia Zili is, hehe.
The only stitch is boring, nonsense: "I guess it's the one on the left." ”
Greedy Wolf confronted her, "Then I guess it's the one on the right." ”
One Shot: "Reason." ”
The greedy wolf grinned, "The right is respectful, the right is close to Xia Zu's ranking, Xia Ziyin is the eldest prince, so naturally it is closer than Ah Li standing." ”
"I just saw Xia Ziming close to the one on the left and bowed his head to speak, Xia Ziming and Xia Ziyin are like fire and water, so they won't talk together." ”
What the two of them said made sense, no one would let anyone, and Cangfa listened helplessly, unwilling to interject.
Their world has nothing to do with him.
In fact, there are only a few actions to worship ancestors, but the whole process lasted all morning, and lunch time was missed after the end.
Fortunately, there is no arrangement in the afternoon, after a rest in the afternoon, I will prepare for the dinner party in the evening, the dinner is the main event, the birthday gifts that the major city lords will present at the dinner, it is said that it is a battle for beauty, only the unthinkable and not seen.
I'm looking forward to it.
In the afternoon, after everyone rested for the afternoon, they were notified to go to the birthday banquet site.
Originally, before coming, Duyi was still thinking about how big a place Emperor Xia had to use to make all the people bloom before he came, but who would have thought that it would be outdoors.
It's not all outdoors, just like the emperor of the original world, the ministers of extremely high quality listen to training in the palace, and the very low quality is outside the palace.
The sky is sunny today, there is no wind or rain, and it is a little cooler outside.
As the guests of the Rong family, they can be regarded as taking advantage, and the position of the arrangement is relatively high, and they can see the song and dance performances clearly, and when the birthday banquet begins, they can also see the birthday offering.
Originally, I was full of expectations for the meals in the palace, and I ate well at noon, but who knew that when I really saw the food in front of me, I was directly depressed.
This is a palace banquet, this is pig food is almost the same, all of them are steamed bowl stews, and they are all cold, sticky and sticky together, poked in with chopsticks, and can't be pulled out.
"Forehead ......" The only needle was finally pulled out, but the chopsticks stuck to the inexplicable white solid sticky material were thrown on the table in disgust, and the whole person was not good.
Cang Fa looked at her and smiled, he had never touched the chopsticks from the beginning, because he knew very well that the food at the dinner party would not be delicious, at least the meals of these people outside the palace would not be delicious.
There were almost a thousand people present, and there were only a few cooks in the palace, and it was too late to make them all fresh, so it was natural to prepare some semi-finished products, and when it was time for the banquet to be hot, they could be delivered. And at such a distance from the dining room to the front hall, the steamed bowl stew that was still a little hot was also cold, and the oil flowers on it naturally solidified, and there was a ghost if it was delicious.
The greedy wolf picked up a piece of what looked like meat with white oil flowers and held it up in front of him, holding the fearless spirit of 'the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return' and is not afraid of death: "A needle, I will taste it, if it is poisoned, you must save me." ”
The only needle dragged his chin to look at him, and I really wanted to ask him why he did this death, didn't he?
Well, she also wanted to know what would happen if she ate it, so she nodded briskly, "Okay, you can eat, I'll make sure you're not." ”
The greedy wolf lucked his luck, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and as soon as his eyes were closed, he stuffed the piece of meat into his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing twice.
"How's that, what does it smell like?" The only needle asked impatiently.
The greedy wolf opened his eyes, his face suddenly wrinkled into a bun, picked up the wine jug next to him and directly pulled out the lid and poured it into his mouth, until he drank all the wine in the wine jug, he smacked his lips, bared his teeth and said: "I feel like I swallowed a mouthful of solidified oil, and it has no taste at first, and when I swallow it, I will be tired to death." ”
As you can imagine.
The greedy wolf continued to complain, "What kind of thing, it's really unpalatable and the palace banquet, it's not as delicious as the one I made myself." ”
"Eh, don't say that, although this thing is unpalatable, at least you are not poisoned, and you can't say what you made yourself." The only one corrects his wording, lest he feel too good about himself and play himself to death.
Well, think about it, she was right.
The greedy wolf was convinced, and it was not so unpleasant to look at the two plates of white flowers in front of him, but he would definitely not put them in his mouth again, so let it sit alone on the table.
After a while, the shout of the palace attendant came from the front, "King XX presents a birthday gift, one of the eight-rank broken Yue Dan, ten of the seven-grade demons, and ...... of endless sea corals."
It stands to reason that the first to offer their birthday should be the royal nobles surnamed Xia, and among the nobles, the prince is the closest, but although the three princes have gone out of the palace to build a mansion, none of them have a title, and the bald prince does not even have a rank. Usually, relying on his status as a prince, most officials and nobles have to concede three points, but today is a day to strictly follow etiquette.
Prince, hehe, wait for the future.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites directly arranged the birthday of the three princes at the end, and appeared in the finale, which was the most pompous, but it also invisibly increased the pressure on the three princes. What are the eight pins of pills, rare Ganoderma lucidum, rare ores, and eight-grade treasures in front of the various birthday gifts, if the finale birthday gifts of the last three princes are not brilliant, it will be too embarrassing.
The young Xia Zili is okay, he is only fifteen years old, and he has only recently returned to the palace, and the mansion outside has just been built, and there is a brother on it, and the throne basically has nothing to do with him.
The fight between Xia Ziyin and Xia Ziming has never stopped.
As the birthday gifts were carried up one by one, people slowly became calm from the exclamations at the beginning, and when they didn't know how many eighth-order spirit plants were sent, there were even people who had the leisure to find fault with this one that was not as good as the previous one.
Finally, it was the turn of the three princes to give their birthdays.
"The eldest prince offers his birthday." The palace attendant's shouting used vitality, and the penetrating power was extremely strong, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, "A ...... of the holy treasure dragon rope"
"Holy Product?!"
"It's a holy treasure, oh my God, it's a holy product!"
"How many years have there been no holy treasures, and they are holy products!"
Suddenly, the crowd was boiling.
"Lock the dragon rope?" Duyi's face was surprised, and he couldn't help but glance at Canghua, "Is it one of the two holy treasures that appeared at the Black City auction?" ”
"It sounds familiar to me." Three years have passed since that Black City auction, and the memory has become blurry, but the greedy wolf has a deep impression of the two holy treasures and still remembers it.
"It seems that this is the one he sent to photograph." The only needle nodded.
Cangfa didn't speak, and suddenly looked at the sky outside the palace, and the only one wondered and looked over.
It seemed that the wind suddenly blew, and there were a few white clouds floating in the sky in the distance, and in the night sky, under the reflection of the moon, it was dark and dull, but it did not move for a long time, and it was suddenly blown into an unpredictable situation.
This thought flashed, and the hair of the only stitch was also blown up, and the wind became stronger.
The treasure in the hall has not yet been accepted, and the holy treasures that have not appeared for a long time have been taken out, and there is a faint sound of dragon groaning when they are taken out.
But the people outside the hall couldn't sit calmly, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger.
"Ahh Look what's on the horizon?! ”
"Birds!"
