Chapter 377: The Face of the Country
At the end of the day, soon the sun slowly set from the west, and the emperor held a reception banquet for the envoys of the leading country, and after the envoys and the emperor and others arrived, the reception banquet officially began
Tang Yining, who was waiting quietly, had participated in countless banquets, but he had never participated in such a grand banquet.
Speaking of which, this may be the first banquet of such a grand scale after Tang Yining came here.
Almost all the people in the country know that today is a great filial son, and this coincides with the reception banquet of the envoys of neighboring countries, and it coincides with this year's bumper grain harvest and the treasury is full.
If it weren't for the Queen Mother's strong opposition, the emperor would have planned to hold the Queen Mother's birthday banquet in accordance with such regulations. It's really because the Queen Mother thinks it's too hard for the people and money, so she gave up.
In fact, the emperor wants to hold a big purpose, everyone understands the reason, and even the queen mother herself knows it. The purpose contained in it is definitely more than filial piety, after all, sitting in that position, how much of it still retains its true temperament?
Although the emperor is the biological son of the queen mother, and his blood is thicker than water, he is also an emperor, and in order to sit on the throne and stabilize the country, these superficial efforts still have to be done.
"I have heard that the Central Plains is a country of etiquette, and my Loulan is also a country of etiquette, and I did not participate in the birthday of the Queen Mother of the Central Plains because of physical reasons, but my country has prepared a generous gift to the Queen Mother of the Central Plains, wishing the Queen Mother a long life, a thousand years of life, a thousand years of life, and a thousand years of life."
The Loulan envoy took the lead in stepping forward to toast, and when the queen mother saw this, she also held the jade pot and saluted the other party's envoy.
"You're welcome! Everyone can come, and the mourning family is very relieved! The Queen Mother said kindly.
Although the Queen Mother's birthday has passed, but people originally came to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.
Saying beautiful things on occasions is a real smart person, how can the Queen Mother say it is also after those years of cruel palace fighting, stepping on the corpses of people who don't know how many people climbed to the current position step by step, how can this kind of thing not understand.
You know, one will eventually become ten thousand bones. Although the harem is not a battlefield, it is almost inseparable from the battlefield. And the Queen Mother stepped on the white bones step by step to get to today's position, and there are many of her relatives and friends among the white bones, so she will care more about this hard-won position.
In addition, the purpose of the Queen Mother is to assist the emperor to become a generation of Ming Jun, although she is a woman, she vows to protect this country, so how can anyone be allowed to dare to destroy the royal face?
"In my country, I have heard that the Queen Mother has an elegant and outstanding temperament, and today I see it really extraordinary. It just so happened that my country happened to get a jade a few days ago, and my emperor deliberately asked the best jade workers to make a phoenix crown, thinking that only the queen mother can match the temperament of this phoenix crown! Presumably, this God-given treasure was discovered just before the Queen Mother's birthday, isn't it the will of God? ”
"Oh?" The Queen Mother was a little surprised.
Suddenly, there was a trace of expectation for the birthday gift brought by the envoy. I don't know what kind of object such a good thing was described by the envoy. She's seen a lot of treasures
, all of them were described by the envoy as attracted.
After the envoy finished speaking, he smiled mysteriously, then clapped his hands and sent someone to send him up.
"The Queen Mother doesn't know that this phoenix crown also has the effect of prolonging life, so my emperor happens to know the Queen Mother's birthday, so he will think that this gift is really suitable for the Queen Mother."
Tang Yining didn't care much about those high-sounding words, she, like the Queen Mother, was attracted by the birthday gifts that the envoys said. What kind of object can you describe it like this?
Could it be that this envoy is just bragging? If after waiting for the object to be brought up, there is no such thing as the envoy described, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth? When the time comes, it will be the face of another country that will be lost!
You know, when an envoy comes to offer a gift, no matter how rare the gift is, he always likes to describe it as very common in other countries, and of course, when he comes from a subordinate country, it will be described as very rare.
So, what kind of phoenix crown can make this envoy speak so wildly? Can the phoenix crown also prolong life? In modern times, except for the benefits of silver products to the human body, there is no such cutting-edge means to prove that any ornament can prolong life. Could it be that the red cloth is covered with a silver phoenix crown?
Not necessarily, on the one hand, wearing silver ornaments can make people live longer is only discovered in modern times, which is an ancient time when science and technology were not developed.
On the other hand, if they travel thousands of miles just to give a silver phoenix crown, then there is no attraction to them, and the people in the royal family will definitely think that this Loulan is stingy, and besides, they will lose face for themselves to give such shabby gifts.
However, Tang Yining suddenly remembered that there is a saying that jade raises people, could it be that this is a jade crown? But it's not scientific, if it's a small piece of jade, it shouldn't have much effect. Even if it is not said to be the efficacy, the general jade in the phoenix crown is the role of inlay embellishment.
If you use too large a block, it's really hard to say whether the cervical spine can withstand it. Maybe it's going to cause spinal strain if you carry it every minute, but if that's the case, this thing is fatal, right?
No matter how he thought about it, Tang Yining felt that it was unlikely. In this way, she was even more curious. She put down the food in her hand, her eyes sparkling, and she looked in the direction of the door expectantly.
didn't let Tang Yining and the Queen Mother wait too long, Loulan quickly sent it over, although it was covered with a red cloth, but looking at the appearance, it should be a phoenix crown, but what is it like inside?
The envoy did not take off the red cloth immediately, but smiled mysteriously.
"The Queen Mother didn't believe her words just now? The Queen Mother, you look like a blessed auspicious and extraordinary temperament. If the Queen Mother can wear this phoenix crown, she must be able to prolong her life. In the words of your Central Plains, the body is much tougher. ”
The Queen Mother ignored the envoy's words before, because she felt that what the envoy said was inevitably a bit exaggerated. You must know that if there is really such a material, the first person to send it should not be her, an old woman, and then the emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme.
She doesn't think that she is just a queen mother, and how much attention she can attach to the eyes of the leading country. At most, it will
Because of the emperor's world-famous reputation as a filial son, he attaches a little more importance to her, but it is impossible to go beyond the emperor.
"Oh? Since you have already brought up the objects, and you have no basis for your words, why don't you let everyone open their eyes and see what it is? The Queen Mother said with a smile.
If Tang Yining hadn't been afraid that she was here at the banquet, she wouldn't be able to laugh, otherwise she would have been unable to eat and walk away, and she would have laughed out loud.
You know, it's just an ornament, or an ornament that doesn't touch the body much. And such miracles? You know, if there is really such a miracle effect, it is usually poison, which can spread so quickly and stay in the body for a long time.
Tang Yining was thinking, if the envoy said this night in modern times, it is estimated that this will be like what a salesman said, and the three-inch tongue has turned this group of people around, and it is simply a copy of the debate master.
However, this Lou Lan envoy is also quite good at selling off, first arouse the ** that everyone wants to see, and wait until everyone is about to lose it, and finally take out the phoenix crown, which is a blockbuster.
The emperor didn't want to speak, but when he saw that the envoy still wanted to take Qiao's meaning, he was a little dissatisfied.
"Okay, please also ask the envoy to lift the red cloth and let the queen mother see what kind of phoenix crown it is."
If the emperor didn't say this, the envoy really planned to continue to sell Guanzi, but now that the emperor has already said this, where would he dare to do it?
"Yes! Everyone, please take a look! The envoy said loudly.
After seeing that everyone's attention was attracted, he slowly pulled the red cloth little by little, and gradually let the phoenix crown reveal its face.
When the red cloth on the phoenix crown was completely removed, the queen mother and everyone in the venue were attracted by the phoenix crown.
The colors around are rippling, especially the red agate in the center is shining, as if the clouds are clinging to each other, shrouding the entire phoenix crown with a sense of mystery.
In particular, the east pearl at the top is said to be the largest pearl ever seen by pearl divers in the North Sea, so it was made into an east pearl and inlaid on the phoenix crown, which makes the phoenix crown more unique and covers a layer of Western flavor.
"It's really pretty!" Tang Yining muttered to himself.
She knew that ancient ornaments have always had a unique charm. When she hadn't seen this yet, she still felt that there were basically no more beautiful jewelry.
Now I know that it was because of a place, different cultures and water and soil that created different charms, and she was really a little lonely before.
Design can never be confined to one place. Tang Yining sighed secretly, in ancient times, her dream of going out more and seeing the world was difficult to achieve.
Just when Tang Yining and everyone were attracted by the phoenix crown, they all thought that this Loulan was a sincere gift. Suddenly, the Loulan envoy standing next to the phoenix crown sneered, and then said coldly.
"It's just, I don't know if you have such a treasure in the Central Plains? Can you craftsmen in the Central Plains who can carve and carve such exquisite phoenix crowns? I'm afraid that if you search all over the Central Plains, it will be difficult to make a phoenix crown with such craftsmanship, right? ”
