The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and at night, every household hangs red lanterns under the eaves. The snow on the streets has long been swept to the side of the road, countless fireworks have been lifted into the sky, and firecrackers have been firecracked. A large number of people flocked to the streets, dancing dragons and lions, celebrating all over the world, a prosperous scene.

The house of the princes and nobles in Shangjing is brightly lit at the moment, and it is a busy scene. Every year during the Lantern Festival, the emperor will feast on the ministers, and all the ladies and princesses will also be invited by the queen to enter the palace to spend the Lantern Festival with the queen. At the same time, the princes and sons of the capital and the beauties of the scholars will also be invited by the royal family to gather together and enjoy the palace food.

This is the most lively festival of the year, and it is also the most anticipated festival for all princes and talented people. "Young master, young master...... The time is almost up, Madame asked me to urge the young master, change your clothes and hurry up!" The maid who had changed into a brocade dress slapped the window lattice through the door, and said in an anxious tone. "Sister Xiaoling, go back and tell Madame: 'I'll come right away'. ”

In the bathtub, Fang Yun came back to his senses from his practice, opened his eyes, and said to the door. Long-term, moment-to-moment cultivation allowed Fang Yun to form a habit of cultivation. "It's okay, it's not past the unitary time. ”

Fang Yun glanced at the bathtub, there was still a small piece of incense left, and then stepped out of the tub. A black sè brilliance rolled over, and on the long orange, a set of neatly stacked clothes floated into the air, submerging into the black sè's brilliance.

The silver-white square short gown, the Xuan sè bucket pants, Fang Yun's long hair was scattered, and his expression was freehand, and he walked out of the door. "Young Master. The two servants guarding the door grabbed a thick fox fur coat and walked over to put it on Fang Yun. "No, I'm not cold. ”

Fang Yun waved away the two subordinates and walked out. Today's Lantern Festival is the time when the royal family feasts the Great Zhou scholars to show the emperor's grace, and it is also the time when Fang Lin holds a hair ceremony.

Fang Yun's silver-white short coat and pants were the dresses that the scholars wore when the Great Zhou Dynasty held the hair tie ceremony.

The folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are simple, but some formal constants pay great attention to clothing and etiquette, and they must not be confused. Formal dresses, regular dresses, and formal dresses should be distinguished one by one. "Get on the bus! Time is tight!"

At the door, a car dragon stopped, Mrs. Huayang lifted the soft curtain, and beckoned to Fang Yun. A moment later, the mighty car drove towards the palace.

The streets are full of traffic and laughter. Looking down from the sky, you can see horse-drawn carriages lit with charcoal fires and hung with red lanterns, driving from all over the Great Zhou Dynasty to the imperial palace

In the dark night, the Great Zhou Imperial Palace is like a prehistoric beast, squatting in the upper capital city zhōngyāng. Countless lights burst out, and even the clouds in the sky were reflected.

After going through a series of checkpoints and inspecting several invitations, the carriage of the Sifang Marquis Mansion drove into the palace. "The palace has arrived, please get off the carriage for all the ladies and gentlemen, and the young lady!"

On the square of Youda, the forbidden army is lined up and heavily garrisoned. In front of the forbidden army, there was an expressionless father-in-law, holding his hands, waiting silently. "Yun'er, the palace has arrived. On Niangniang's side, I'm afraid the banquet won't end until late, so if you come back early, go back first. ”

Mrs. Huayang stepped off the carriageway. "Yes, the boy knows. ”

The two only chatted a few words, and immediately two fathers-in-law with white faces greeted them. "Mrs. Huayang, please come here!" "Scholar, Tongming Hall is here, please come with me." ”

Although it is the same royal banquet, the identity is different, the xìng is different, and the place where the banquet is held is also different.

From a distance, Fang Yun saw a brightly lit hall in the southwest of the imperial city. Far away, you can feel a wave of heat rolling in the hall. "Shizi, please come here!" the justice that led the way.

Fang Yun didn't care either, and snorted. Suddenly, on the walls on both sides of the alley, a large net was thrown down, and then seven or eight palace eunuchs wearing brocade clothes rushed out from both sides. Ahead, the father-in-law who led the way turned a corner and immediately disappeared. "Huh? ”

Fang Yun's heart moved, but he was unmoved, allowing the big net to fall. A circle of brilliance burst out from the body, and the large net falling from the sky was twisted together by an invisible force. The grid grinds against the grid, making a sound of gold and iron—it's a large metal net. "Catch him!"

The eight little eunuchs jumped up, and the long sword in their hands emitted a thin light, it was actually Jian Gang!" "Eight little eunuchs of the Gang Qi Realm!" Fang Yun was taken aback in his heart. You must know that in the capital, there are not many people who have reached the level of Gangqi at this age, and there are eight here at a time. "Groan!"

With a long groan, Fang Yun jumped up and turned into a huge green dragon, with the dragon's tail flicking in the air. Only to hear the snapping sound, the eight little eunuchs were hit by the dragon's tail, and one by one they flew out, hit the red wall, and fainted.

The palace is heavily guarded, especially since today is the Lantern Festival, and the guards are stricter than usual. But the fight here did not attract any forbidden troops. There is no intention that no one wants to check it out. "Hmph! It must be her!"

Fang Yun snorted coldly, folded in the air, and fell. In the entire palace, who else can mobilize the forbidden army and make them turn a blind eye?

Throwing down the eight little eunuchs who had fainted, Fang Yun walked towards the Tongming Hall alone. He had a faint feeling in his heart that the imperial banquet of the Lantern Festival this time was not so delicious.

Tongming Hall is hundreds of zhang long, and the pure white and flawless white jade pill in front of the main hall is divided into dozens of steps, and it hangs down. Going up, nine vermilion lacquer gates opened at the same time, and countless palace maids and eunuchs carried all kinds of fruits and wine cups shuttled among them.

As soon as Fang Yun stepped into the Tongming Palace, he was greeted by a huge charcoal basin hugged by three chéngréns, and the fire inside was blazing, and waves of heat were radiating in all directions. Fang Yun glanced at it and found that there were at least thirty such large charcoal basins in the main hall. "Childe, may I ask which prince are you?" A voice came from his ears, and a girl in a palace suit in white stood in front of Fang Yun, bowing her head, and said softly. "Sifang Hou Mansion, Fang Yun. Fang Yun came back to his senses and nodded slightly. "It turned out to be the little marquis, please come with me. The palace maiden led Fang Yun into the Tongming Hall and sat down at the wine table in a place near a stone pillar. "Wait a minute, the preserved fruit will be delivered soon. Fang Yun nodded. "Little Hou Ye. "Little Hou Ye, you are here. ”

As soon as Fang Yun sat down, the soldiers on the left and right hurriedly stood up, smiling and flattering. "You're welcome, sit down. Fang Yun said indifferently. Knowing that hunting in the eastern suburbs has spread the reputation of his brothers, there are already rumors among the princes and disciples in the capital who are now in the capital: I would rather provoke the eldest prince of the capital than provoke the Fang brothers.

Fang Lindang's methods really suppressed a group of people and made them jealous.

With Fang Yun's approval, these scholars dared to sit down again. "Little Hou Ye, your preserved fruit. ”

After a while, a maid from the palace came up with a silver plate. The maid put down the silver plate and subconsciously lifted the silver lid. "Ahh

With an exclamation, the silver lid was lifted, and I saw that in Fang Yun's silver plate, there was a plate of a few pieces of preserved fruits with only the cores left. The deer breasts had been bitten, and the sheep paste and preserves had been coated with an unknown sauce. "This ......" The young palace maid covered her mouth and looked at the tray in shock. Obviously, she didn't know what was in the fruit bowl either. "Go down, it's not your fault. ”

Fang Yun glanced at it and smiled silently in his heart. This Princess Qingchang is very angry, and even this childish method has come. He wasn't very hungry and didn't care. "Little Hou Ye, I'll change it with you. I haven't touched it yet. ”

As soon as Fang Yun's words fell, a soldier on the left immediately stood up and reversed Fang Yun's plate with his own. "Little Marquis, I still have a plate of almonds here. I haven't even lifted the lid, so if you don't give it up, I'll give it to you. ”

The soldier on the right side glared fiercely at the soldier who made the first move, and also stood up and brought a plate of almonds. "You all put it here. ”

Fang Yun was not in a hurry at this time. Shaking his head and smiling in his heart, he wanted to see what means this princess could use. "I just arrived, and I got me a plate of leftover preserved fruit. Hey, this Princess Qingchang must have been arranged a long time ago. At this time, I should be hiding somewhere to observe. ”

Fang Yun had a plan in his heart, so he relaxed, ready to wait and see what happened.

There was still a while before the banquet could start, Fang Yun glanced around, but didn't see Zhang Ying and Zhou Xin. There are too many people in the Tongming Palace, and the descendants of the noble marquis and the commoner marquis have only become a small handful here. More are the scholars who were born as local officials, court doctors, Yuan scholars, and generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty. "Don't worry, you should be able to see them when you tie your hair in a moment. ”

Zhang Ying, Zhou Xin and Fang Yun are almost the same, they all held a hair binding ceremony today. "Brother Fang, why are you drinking alone here. ”

A familiar voice came, Fang Yun turned his head to look, and saw Wendian Hou Shizi Yan Lun holding a wine bottle, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and walked over.
