Chapter 23: The Palace Feast Begins
Golden glaze, Zhumen golden top, dragon walking cornice, momentum soaring.
The dazzling palace seemed to be out of sight, and the black gold nanmu desk chairs had already been placed on both sides, and the marble floor reflected bursts of candlelight.
The seats on both sides were neatly arranged, and they were ready to welcome this grand banquet, which was by no means a random seat. The princes and nobles naturally sat closer to the emperor, while the officials sat in order of rank.
As soon as he entered the palace banquet hall, he saw Fufeng coming towards him with a smile, leading the family to Fucang's position.
Fu Cang sat in the position of the middle and front, not only without losing his identity, but also looking low-key and unassuming.
The officials sat down one after another, laughing, and no one dared to sit in the position closest to the emperor in front of them.
"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived!" A shrieked voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone stopped talking and laughing, looked calm, and stood up and bowed respectfully.
The dignified and majestic gold came into view, and he slowly walked towards the main seat of the high hall.
The delicate and soft brocade is embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, the pattern is solemn and exquisite, and the imperial spirit is fully displayed.
The emperor of the main throne has a long body, although he has passed the age of standing, but he is well maintained, there is no trace of the years, and he is still domineering and serious.
And the woman in the golden phoenix robe beside her, with majestic phoenix eyes, delicate and enchanting, and a charming figure. A pair of phoenix eyes looked around silently, not knowing what they were looking for.
She is Baizhu's younger sister and Bai Zhi's aunt Bai Ko.
"Calm down, you don't have to be polite, tonight is a family banquet, you can do it at will."
The emperor on the main throne spoke, his voice was long and long, full of energy.
King Ning smiled, thanked the emperor in his mouth, and then took the lead in getting up and taking a seat, and the ministers looked forward to it left and right, and they also sat down one after another.
The emperor glanced down at the audience, but did not see the Bai family, his brows furrowed slightly, and it was fleeting.
Bai Ko on the side seemed to capture the thoughts of the man next to him, and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't know, my brother is preparing a gift for you, so I'm late!" ”
After hearing this, the emperor also chuckled and nodded, as if agreeing with Bai Ko's words.
Everyone couldn't help but sweat in their hearts, this Bai family is really majestic, with such an honor, it is even later than the emperor came up, sure enough...... The power is monstrous.
And King Ning and some high-ranking and powerful ministers of the humerus had different expressions, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Just as everyone was pondering, the joyful and delicate voice sounded.
"Auntie!" Bai Zhi walked forward excitedly, as if enjoying the special honor and the gaze of everyone.
Mrs. Bai on the side pulled Bai Zhi's sleeve and warned in a low voice: "Don't be rude!" ”
"Weichen participates in the emperor and queen, I wish the emperor a healthy body and a long life!"
Baizhu smiled respectfully and respectfully to the person who worshiped the lord of the high hall.
"Aiqing is flat."
"Your Majesty, please forgive the minister for being late!"
When Bai Qiao heard this, he smiled softly and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, just now my brother also specially prepared a birthday gift for Your Majesty, so I arrived a little late, why don't Your Majesty forgive my brother!" ”
The emperor showed an interested look on his face: "Oh? I don't know what kind of rare thing Bai Aiqing prepared for me? It took so much effort to make Aiqing so difficult. ”
Bai Shu smiled mysteriously, nodded and smiled at Bai Wei beside him, and Bai Wei immediately understood.
Bai Wei stepped forward dignified and magnificently, and carefully opened the delicate wood carving box in her hand: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the eternal lotus specially picked by the courtiers for Your Majesty." ”
With Bai Wei's movements, everyone looked over one after another, and their hearts were shocked.
Eternal Changlian, this is one of the magic weapons of the Phoenix Spirit Sect!
Everyone's expressions were complicated, the eternal lotus was the treasure of the clan.
It is rumored that ordinary people can protect their bodies from decay for three hundred years if they take the Eternal Lotus, but if it is not for the cultivation body, the lifespan of ordinary people is only a short hundred years. And the cultivators can prolong their lives, and those who have cultivated to a high level can reach more than 500 years, and even according to legend, if they cultivate to a certain realm, they can also soar to become immortals! This is the lifelong pursuit of every monk!
The emperor's eyes were fierce, and his expression did not change, but his eyes overflowed with satisfaction.
Immediately, his eyes drifted by, and he carefully looked at Bai Wei in front of him, only to see that she was calm, not arrogant or impatient, and Bai Ko on the side was even more happy to see it.
I didn't expect Bai Wei to have such a high status in the Phoenix Spirit Sect! It was possible to get the eternal Changlian to congratulate the emperor on his birthday! was so favored at a young age, he will definitely be able to do it one day!
The ministers sighed slightly in their hearts, it seems that the limelight of the Bai family is increasing day by day, and it should not be underestimated!
Bai Zhu received everyone's attention, his face was a little proud, he was quite satisfied with his genius daughter, it seems that the Bai family can go further with Bai Wei!
The emperor chuckled and nodded to signal Bai Zhu to sit down, and Bai Zhi held her head high and couldn't help but say something and sat next to the emperor with Bai Zhu.
The Bai family is in the limelight tonight! She didn't believe that her Bai Zhi's reputation and prestige would be lower than that of other families in the capital.
From today on, who will not give face to the Bai family?
Bai Zhi was even more happy when she thought about it, and her eyes wandered around, looking for Gu Qingyue's figure.
Ah Li saw Bai Zhi's arrogant and ecstatic appearance, and approached Fu Wan and laughed in a low voice: "Look at her appearance. ”
Then he looked at Bai Wei, who looked natural and neither humble nor arrogant beside her, and was very puzzled.
"Why is there such a big difference between the same father?"
Fu Wan didn't care about Bai Zhi's arrogant appearance, she just glanced at Bai Wei lightly, and saw that the other party's eyes were also looking at her.
Bai Jiaqiang, sure enough, has a bit of strength!
The cups were staggered, the wine glasses were turning, and everyone was immersed in the joy of the emperor's birthday.
The bright yellow on the main seat put down the wine glass in his hand and called: "I heard that the little girl of Fu Aiqing's family has returned recently, it is really gratifying. Miss Fujia also solved the problem of ghosts and monsters in Beijing for me, and she should be rewarded! ”
Fu Cang stood up and saluted, and glanced at Fu Wan with a loving face.
"The minister was afraid, the little girl was still young, she was weak since she was a child, and she almost didn't feed her. I really inherited the blessing of His Majesty, and fortunately I picked up a life and came back with the guidance of the master. I hope she can spend this life safely and happily, and I don't expect to have much ability, and I thank the Gu family for saving her life that night, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
As soon as the words fell, he raised his hand to the Gu family to express his gratitude.
There was some warmth in Fu Wan's heart, and Fu Cang's words were true and true, and she could feel it clearly.
The emperor laughed.
"Tiger father has no dog girl, Aiqing is humble, Fu Wan stepped forward and let me take a look!"
Fu Wan walked lightly, walked to the front of the hall calmly and generously, bowed lightly to the emperor, and did not kneel and salute.
Everyone was stunned, not knowing whether to say that this woman was ignorant or ignorant and fearless......
