"Here, Mrs. Li is here."

"Li Niangzi, come and sit."

As soon as Li Qing appeared, a bunch of women in the back house were about to come over as if they had exploded a pot. Fortunately, the realistic scene stopped them in their tracks.

From disdain to the current most popular, it took Li Qing a few months. The few things she did made the faces of these post-house women swollen and swollen, and in the end they could only feel ashamed of themselves.

The queen and other high-ranking ladies have not yet arrived, and now there are only a bunch of ladies here.

"My mother-in-law and they are all at the queen's place at this time, and they will arrive later, let's sit down and wait." Huanshi said softly.

Li Qing bowed, and the two sat in their own positions. Even a girl like Shangguan Momo who jumped out of the country now sits beside her mother in a regular manner, and it can be said that she is very well educated.

The rules of the palace banquet are surprisingly strict, everything is according to specific rules, and there is a gap between Li Qing and the Huan clan, so their positions are not arranged together. However, this time, Li Qing's position is no longer in the corner like the last Huaxi banquet. On the contrary, the position is quite conspicuous.

After a while, the queen sat down with a group of important wives, and the officials on the other side of the main hall were also the same. Gu Jiuqing sat next to her mother and looked at Guan Momo, she looked at Li Qing with a soft face, and couldn't help but think of Yun Ji's stupid face. It's a pity that she is now restrained and courteous, and she can't pursue it as purely as before.

Unlike the peace and tranquility on the woman's side, the main hall was full of sparks because there were a few northern barbarians.

Beiban is a country on horseback, and since the name is called Beiban, it must have something to do with its appearance. Most of them are rough, with dark facial features, tan complexion, and their sitting and standing postures are different from those of Tianqi people.

There is a process.

The first was the Xuanli, or birthday celebration, which was led by Lu Guogong, the minister of consolidation in the middle of the court. The civil and military officials, including the wife of the Hou House, congratulated the emperor on his birthday, and Li Qing naturally received the birthday message.

Li Qing stood up very calmly and bowed, and then recited the words "Long life without borders".

Then Gou Yin, the big chamberlain, announced the beginning of the banquet, followed by music and dance.

"Niangniang, today is the birthday banquet of His Majesty Tianqi, and we should have a cup in our inner house to celebrate Your Majesty's birthday." Jin Guifei held the wine glass and said to the queen.

"What the concubine said is reasonable." The maid beside the queen immediately poured the queen full of wine. Another attendant walked out from behind the gauze tent and whispered in the ear of Emperor Qiguan, and Qiguan knew that the queen's wife had ordered her to toast, so he stopped his chopsticks and made the people in the main hall quiet.

"I wish Your Majesty a long life than Nanshan, and a blessing to the sky!" After the queen finished speaking, a group of women followed, and then the emperor picked up the wine glass and got up to drink with the women in the gauze tent.

At this point, the main hall and the side hall have become two worlds.

Yun Ji was only a prisoner of the Guozi Prison, he was assigned to the corner where the main hall and the side hall intersected, and with him were several prisoners, most of whom were twice the age of Yun Ji.

After the courtiers finished saying the flattering words, Gou Yin opened today's topic:

"Gift from the North Barbarians!"

In addition to war horses, what other good things can the Northern Barbarians have? If the grain can't be grown, cattle and sheep can grow, but compared to the land of many fish and rice in Tianqi, it is also a lot inferior.

Almost all the ministers were looking forward to what the Northern Barbarians would send to congratulate their Tianqi Majesty on his birthday.

I saw three northern barbarian men walking in a triangular position to the bottom of Qiguan, and the leader of Qiguan saluted.

The man looked rough, but in the roughness, he could see the heroic posture of the prairie people, and there was secretly a kind of arrogance in the roughness.

"Your Majesty Tianqi, my Beiban Emperor heard that His Majesty Tianqi had a birthday, so he sent our Beiban envoys to visit early, for fear of missing it, for so many years, Tianqi has been for Beiban, Beiban is grateful, and today I Beiban also brings a little heart to Tianqi, and I hope that His Majesty Tianqi will accept it." After the Northern Barbarian Man finished speaking, he immediately motioned to his subordinates to open the box he was holding.

The box is made of wood, and the shape is carved with a rustic atmosphere.

Everyone was looking forward to the gift of the Northern Barbarians, but when they opened it, they found that the contents were simply mediocre.

"What kind of gift is this, but it's just two broken stones."

"That's right, that's right, just use the broken stone to prevaricate our Tianqi, the Northern Barbarians are worthy of being barbarians, and they don't understand Chinese etiquette at all."

"That's right, that's right."

As soon as the gift came out, everyone whispered, and the sound of music could barely be concealed.

"Ahem!" Qi Guan coughed symbolically twice, suppressed the disgust in his eyes, and asked angrily, "What does this mean?" ”

"Back to Tianqi Your Majesty, these two stones are a few months ago from the sky fairy stone, is the god of heaven to our Beiban gift, remember that day lightning and thunder, dust, cattle and horses panicked, suddenly the sky fell miracles, falling fairy stones, these two pieces are with the fairy stone fell with the small fairy stone, my Beiban Your Majesty is grateful for the kindness of His Majesty Tianqi, the special minister sent the fairy stone to pray for the blessing of the gods to His Majesty Tianqi, to Tianqi His Majesty birthday wishes, I wish you a few more years."

After speaking, the Northern Barbarian man did not forget to salute, but the provocation between his eyebrows and eyes was naked, as if he was about to rush out and shake his face.

This subtext is too obvious: You Tianqi boasts of being with Tianqi, but the gods have never even descended such good things, what else do you say Tianqi? Say goodbye before it's too late.

"What kind of expression is this, it is clearly disdainful."

"That's right, this Northern Barbarian is so arrogant, I didn't see the face he had when he spoke!"

"It's not that we don't have this stone, or that the gods don't drop a few for us."

……

"Oh? Since it was given to you by the gods, it is not my Tianqi immortals, you Beiban believe in the majestic eagle soaring in the sky, and the god we Tianqi believes in is the real Emperor of Heaven, if this thing comes to Tianqi, it must be a symbol of the catastrophe, so the thing given by the Beiban Emperor understands it, but this thing does not dare to ask for it, you better take it back. ”

Qi Guan rubbed his sideburns and looked at the Northern Barbarians below with a mocking attitude.

Small, fight with him? If you want to win, there is no way. This kind of gift-giving trick has been experienced as early as when he was the crown prince. The Northern Barbarian didn't expect the emperor to come with him for this trick, but this didn't affect what he was going to do next.

"Your Majesty Tianqi, this stone is really an immortal stone, and it is not a symbol of disaster, but represents infinite possibilities, such as strengthening the body and rejuvenating people, which is enough to prove that these two stones are supreme and priceless."

The Northern Barbarian Man spared no effort to praise the two black stones, which also made Li Qing have a strong interest in them.
