Chapter 22: Longyuan Gate and the Ghost Face Sect (5)
In the early morning, the Great Wei Palace sacrifices to the rooftop.
The warm winter sun has just stepped out of the horizon, and it has not yet dispelled the cold of the night before. At this moment, the square in front of the altar is very lively. Hundreds of seats are neatly arranged in rows, and on each of them stands a jade plaque engraved with the name and official position. Hundreds of people gathered in the square, some of them sitting alone, some of them shushing in groups.
Li Xiaohu walked in alone from the entrance of the square. Li Tiannuo made other arrangements to separate from him as soon as he entered the gate of the palace, and Li Xuan was not qualified to participate in the seminar, so he could only wait outside the Tiantai Square.
So Li Xiaohu had no choice but to walk into the square single-handedly. However, he was not at all worried that he would be alone and forgotten in a corner by everyone without any sense of existence. Because of the black dragon robe on his body, he must have become the object of attention. Of course, if he is really ignored, he doesn't care, because the lawless Li Xiaohu will not be bound by the eyes of the world.
See the black dragon robe and see the king's salute. There were many young ladies in the square, some of them were coming to the conference for the first time, and they didn't understand this truth, but it didn't mean that their elders didn't understand. Among the elders, there are those who know Li Xiaohu and those who don't, but it does not prevent them from respectfully saluting Li Xiaohu at this moment.
"In the old man's imperial history, Cheng Shen Ji has seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. ”
"In the lower rite department, Wang Cong has seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. ”
......
The older generation who know how to do it have pulled their children to salute Li Xiaohu.
Li Xiaohu also returned the courtesy meticulously in accordance with the due etiquette. Nothing else, just the basic etiquette of important occasions of the royal family.
The people on the other side of the square who were farther away also noticed the movement and turned their eyes to it. Many of them are not children of the big clans in Beijing, some are wealthy nobles from Dianzhou, and some are children of generals from Yangzhou. They were surprised to see a group of people saluting a young man, and even many of them were important officials of the court who were about to stammer.
"Grandpa, who is that person, which prince? A young girl asked the old man curiously in a crisp voice.
The old man stroked his white beard and narrowed his eyes, and replied, "Prince, I'm afraid that the prince will salute when he sees him." ”
The girl was so surprised that she covered her oval-shaped mouth with one hand, looking playful and cute.
"Who the hell is he?
"He is Li Xiaohu, the son of King Wei, and the gorgeous dress he wears is called the Black Dragon Robe. See the black dragon robe and see the king's salute. Therefore, the prince has to say hello first when he sees it. ”
"He's Li Xiaohu? Impossible, isn't it? Isn't Li Xiaohu a lewd and womanizer? How could he be this well-dressed son?"
"There are only two black dragon robes in this world, and the other one is on his father Li Tiannuo, and anyone dares to imitate it?" So grandpa has already told you, 'People can't look good, and the sea can't fight'!"
Li Xiaohu didn't know that someone was slandering his glorious image in a corner of the square. At this moment, he sighed in his heart: No wonder how many people have squeezed their heads out for power and done things that have lost their conscience. Power is like a drug, addictive and erosive, until you completely lose yourself and fall into the abyss step by step.
Li Xiaohu, who was suffering from the poison of power, was a little fluttering. These people who saluted him, or the "Black Dragon Robe", were some of the children of the noble clan, and some were masters of the Heavenly Realm who had been famous for a long time. But so what, it's not that he bowed his head in front of him Li Xiaohu.
Li Xiaohu attracted the attention of almost the entire square along the way. Although this feeling made him feel refreshed, he couldn't walk around the square, right?
The jade plaque of the seat is engraved: Captain of the Imperial City Division, Li Xiaohu. Several seats around them belonged to their Imperial City Division.
Huo Yehai and the captains of the Imperial City Division had already arrived, and they were naturally not exempt from courtesy, and they all saluted Li Xiaohu respectfully. Li Xiaohu returned the salute one by one.
"Uncle Huo. "The etiquette that should be done is done, and Li Xiaohu will probably be beaten if he still pretends to be garlic.
"Brother Little Tiger!" Huo Yehai leaned out of a handsome young man behind him.
Li Xiaohu heard the young man call himself "Brother Little Tiger", and knew in his heart that he was familiar with this young man, but he had no memory.
"Jinyu, your little tiger brother is injured and has lost his memory, and he has forgotten about you. Huo Yehai said with a smile.
Huo Jinyu didn't seem to believe Huo Yehai's words, her eyes stared at Li Xiaohu's face, but unfortunately found that Li Xiaohu's puzzled expression did not seem to be fake, sighed, and said a little sadly: "But...... But on the night I went to the snowy region to practice two years ago, Brother Xiaohu ...... He promised me to ride his Golden Tempest when I returned. ”
Can you not speak intermittently! Li Xiaohu broke out in a cold sweat, almost thinking that he was really a false alarm!
"Isn't there a little white in our family?" Huo Yehai said angrily. His son is good at everything, but he is a little shy and weak, and he doesn't have the demeanor of the Huo family.
"But Xiaobai is my sister's, and she won't let me touch it. Yesterday it bit through my clothes!"
Xiaobai is the white wolf king of the Huo family. Last time, he was framed by Li Xiaohu and said that he and Rhubarb had a big fight over a female dog.
"That Brother Huo, it's easy to talk about riding rhubarb. Li Xiaohu said with some embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter if Brother Xiaohu has amnesia, let's get acquainted again, just call me Xiao Yu'er like before. ”
"Okay, little fish...... Xiao Yu'er. ”
"Okay, Brother Tiger. Don't forget to take me for a ride on the Golden Storm after the meeting. ”
At this moment, the bronze bell on the altar was struck.
The altar is located on the north side of the square, about one zhang above the ground, in the form of a pillar, and the upper and lower sides are square. There is a dragon entwined pillar at the four corners of the lower bottom face respectively, and a huge bronze bell is hung on each side of the platform, and in the middle is a simple and tall tripod.
The bronze bell rang, and hundreds of people waved to the east of the square. Although Li Xiaohu has no memory of the past, he is a little unclear, but it is always right to follow everyone together.
After a while, Li Tiancheng, who was wearing a golden dragon robe, walked slowly from the east, his pace was slow but powerful, followed by Li Tiannuo with a solemn expression, and then followed by the crown prince Li Xuntian, the second prince Li Mingrui, the third prince Li Huanqing, the eldest princess Li Wei, the second princess Li Xi, the third princess Li Muya and other royal blood relatives.
After that, there was a mighty team of people such as the Guogong, the Prime Minister, the General, the Imperial Historian, the Taiwei, the Situ, the Sikong, and the Shangshu of the Ministries.
They are the existence at the very top of the pyramid of the entire Great Wei court.
Li Xiaohu stepped back a little and looked at the faces that walked in front of him, except for Li Tiannuo with a serious face, Li Muya with a graceful and luxurious face, Huo Xinghe with a smile on his face, and He Fan with squinting eyes, the others were all strange.
