Chapter 20: The Status of the Commander of the Night Banquet

Their performance surprised everyone in the hall very much, because this was something they had never touched before, Gao Shijie curiously stretched out his hand, intending to touch the three magical objects that appeared in front of their eyes.

But no matter how much he touched, he couldn't touch the object that appeared in front of him, Fang Yunming smiled and dissuaded: Your Excellency, the object that appeared in front of your eyes actually doesn't exist, so you can't touch it at all?

Gao Shijie and the others were very surprised when they heard this, and just when everyone was puzzled, a warm and pleasant voice said: "Two gentlemen, since they did not appear in front of us, why can we see them?"

At this time, everyone followed the sound and saw that Cheng Mingci had already come to the main hall with the queen, the prince and other concubines, as well as the princes, and it was Cheng Xiuyi, the eldest princess of the dynasty, who made the sound.

When everyone in the main hall saw the emperor appear, all of them, except for Fang Yunming, fell to their knees on the ground and said loudly: We see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live.

Cheng Mingci sat in his place, but in fact, it was not much higher, it was just a slightly higher platform.

After Cheng Mingci sat down, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of false support: Everyone, Aiqing, calm down.

Then he turned his head to look at Fang Yunming and them, only to see the twenty young men and women in the main hall facing him in a strange posture, so Cheng Mingci said: Everyone, I don't know what you mean by this strange posture, but if I guess correctly, this should be a kind of etiquette for you, I have seen it, so let's put it down.

Fang Yunming said loudly: "The ceremony is over."

When the voice fell, the twenty men under him lowered their hands in unison.

Cheng Xiuyi, who was on the side at this time, said: Two gentlemen, I don't know if it is convenient for you to answer the question I just asked?

Fang Yunming hurriedly faced Cheng Xiuyi, now Cheng Xiuyi has changed out of the military uniform and put on the palace dress worn by ordinary royal women in Xia Yuan, I saw that she was wearing a crown of flowers and a moon, and her black hair was naturally scattered behind her head, and she drew a light makeup slightly, wearing a moon-white robe of birds around the moon, which was the same as Cheng Mingci's other princesses.

The difference was that she wore a robe inlaid with gold trim, which only the eldest princess could embroider. This makeup and robe showed her feminine beauty and her esteemed status as the eldest princess of the empire.

Just when Fang Yunming was about to answer, our baron Mr. William couldn't wait to show off his knowledge in front of Cheng Xiuyi, so Cheng Xiuyi just finished asking, and before Fang Yunming could answer, he said loudly below: Hello, beautiful princess, let me answer this question.

Just listen to him go on to say: Our human eyes can see objects because objects can reflect light, and the light shines the projection of the object close to our eyes, and then the eyes transmit the image of the object to our brain, so that we humans can see the object as it is.

And the image that appeared in front of you just now has a proper noun "holographic stereoscopic three-dimensional image", his principle is to use the illusion of human eye induction of light, although the object does not appear in front of us, but we can still use the device to allow people to see the image of the object very three-dimensionally, I don't know if my explanation makes you satisfied, princess?

Cheng Xiuyi looked at the young alien man in front of him who combed his short blond hair very neatly, and had a white complexion and blue eyes, and said with a smile: "This gentleman, I didn't seem to be asking you just now, but asking your superiors, if you were from Xia Yuan, you would definitely be condemned to a crime of being insuperior.

However, since you are not from my country, and you also solved the doubts of this princess just now, this princess will not blame you.

There is another point that my princess wants to remind you, in our Xia Yuan, don't kiss each other's hands indiscriminately when we meet for the first time, if it weren't for the princess Nianru's life-saving grace to the princess, this princess must condemn you for the crime of disrespecting the royal family, and send you to the 100,000 mountains in the south or to the desert island in the East China Sea, or to the desert in the northwest, so that you can fend for yourself.

Cheng Xiuyi's words made William feel very depressed, he now knew why the beautiful princess in front of him was so unapologetic to him, it turned out to be his damn performance at the beginning, he felt for the first time that the traditional aristocratic etiquette of his country was so impolite.

And his kindness was robbed by others, but then again, the reason why Cheng Xiuyi is so unkind is because when they met for the first time, our Baron William actually wanted to kiss her, you must know that Xia Yuan's customs are relatively very conservative, and they also pay attention to whether men and women give or receive kisses.

And the first time we meet, you have to kiss a woman's hand, which is difficult for anyone to accept in Xia Yuan, which is why Cheng Xiuyi came up to give our Mr. Baron a big mouth when he saw that he was going to kiss his hand, and why Cheng Xiuyi gave him a meal after listening to his explanation.

After saying this, Cheng Xiuyi turned her head to face Fang Yunming, to be honest, the reason why Cheng Xiuyi had such a good impression of Fang Yunming was also because when Fang Yunming met her for the first time, the mighty military salute left a very good impression in her heart.

And Fang Yunming's neat command just now left a better impression on Cheng Xiuyi's heart, so Cheng Xiuyi looked at Fang Yunming differently.

But Fang Yunming didn't respond to this feeling, because Fang Yunming was an orphan, so he didn't have any feelings for this friendly performance of the opposite sex.

However, he was born with a special ability that allowed him to defeat all his opponents when competing for food with others, and he used this ability when fighting several other orphans for a moldy scone at a time, which happened to be discovered by a soldier.

So the soldier said to him, "Boy, do you want to eat meat?" If you want, then come with me.

So Fang Yunming went from an orphan to a soldier, so he rarely had contact with women in his life, and he didn't know how to contact a person of the opposite sex, so naturally he couldn't feel the favor of Her Royal Highness the princess.

Also as the eldest princess of the empire, although Cheng Xiuyi has a good impression of the handsome officer in front of her who claims to be from another planet, she can't tell whether this is a love between men and women, or just a good feeling.

At this time, Cheng Mingci, who was sitting on the main seat, smiled at the other party Yunming and said: Friends from afar, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to always stand like this, after all, you are not my Xia Yuan.

It's understandable that you're uncomfortable with this way of sitting, and now we can't figure out your tools for "sitting" for a while, so let's see this, you can sit as comfortable as you like, and I and you Aiqing won't mind.

Fang Yunming and the others saw that everyone was like this, if they were still standing like this, it would be a little too hypocritical, so Fang Yunming gave an order and sat down.

So the twenty officers sat cross-legged in their seats, and the rest of Xia Yuan also returned to their positions, and when Cheng Mingci saw that everyone was seated, he ordered the attendants around him, and the banquet began.

So a chamberlain waiting beside Cheng Mingci clapped his hands, and countless young palace maids wearing Xia Yuan palace costumes came to the ministers' seats with exquisite trays in their hands, and then put down the exquisite dishes in their hands.

Due to the reason of the cooking utensils, Xia Yuan's food cooking techniques are mainly barbecue, steaming and stewing, and there is no stir-fry in later generations, but it is very exquisite as a palace banquet, and the taste is needless to say.

This made Fang Yunming's index fingers move, but as people with relatively some status on the earth, they knew that such a state banquet was not the most important thing, the most important thing was communication, emotion, intelligence or something else.

However, what surprised Fang Yunming and them a little was that as a state banquet, there were not many dishes, unlike in the banquets of some countries on the earth, dozens of dishes were normal, and if it was a very important state banquet, then hundreds of dishes were not impossible.

But Xia Yuan's state banquet only has a few dishes, and the amount is still very small, Fang Yunming looked at the steamed small fish in front of him, Fang Yunming counted his own chopsticks and there were no more, by the way, the tableware used by Xia Yuanren was also chopsticks.

Just when Fang Yunming was competing with the little fish in front of him, he only heard Cheng Mingci's voice from the main seat, so Fang Yunming hurriedly sat upright and looked at the supreme ruler of the empire.

Ladies and gentlemen, at a time when our country is in peril, I am holding a state banquet here, first of all, to celebrate our victory in today's battle, which is the first victory we have achieved since the beast demon invaded our country for a year.

Although our losses are not small, after all, we have repelled them, which is all the credit of your Aiqing for their concerted efforts.

And we should be grateful to our friends who have come from afar to help us, and it is because of their selfless help that we have been able to repel the ferocious alien invaders, so we should be grateful to them.

After finishing speaking, Cheng Mingci picked up the wine glass in front of him, and then said loudly: Come, salute our friends.

When Cheng Mingci raised his wine glass to pay tribute to Fang Yunming and them, everyone from the earth hurriedly got up and raised their wine glasses, at this time Fang Yunming said: Thank you very much Your Majesty the Great Emperor and your courtiers for organizing this banquet for us, here I only express my gratitude on behalf of myself and my comrades-in-arms.

But here I suggest that we should pay our first drink to those soldiers who lost their lives in battle, whose blood and lives defended the empire, and we must not forget them, and we should let our children and grandchildren always remember their merits.

Cheng Mingci and all the generals in the hall nodded when they heard this, and Cheng Mingci said loudly: "What Mr. said is very right, I and my descendants will not forget those soldiers who have died, and my people will not forget, come, everyone, we will sacrifice the wine in the cup to those heroic spirits who died on the battlefield."

After Cheng Mingci finished speaking, he got up from his seat and spilled the wine in the cup to the ground, and the other ministers also followed Cheng Mingci to spill the wine in the cup to the ground.

However, Fang Yunming's words made all the civil officials present feel like each other, because war was originally to improve the status of military generals in the entire society, and now if these outsiders add fuel to the fire, then the status of military generals will be even higher.

So will these guys who hold military power do things like Taizu? When Taizu founded the country, he set the national policy of using literature to unify the military with literature precisely for the purpose of curbing these military generals.
