Too much talk can make you lose it all.

Ren Pingsheng just nodded, then took the necessary wild goose from the guards, held it in his arms, and followed behind the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The wild goose in his arms also cooperated, poked his head out, looked around, and his small eyes revealed the clarity that had not been polluted by knowledge.

The rest of the guards followed closely with various gifts.

It was Li Yong who fell last, holding the lead in his hands.

The sheep was stubborn, and he had to drag it hard to leave, and he was angry enough.

When the group passed through the noon gate, they saw a square paved with jade.

There are five exquisite white marble arch bridges on the square, and there is a Jinshui River under the bridge, which resembles a jade belt.

Further inside, there is another gate.

Ren Pingsheng hugged the wild goose in his arms and followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites through the gate.

Looking up, a splendid palace stands in front of you, the yellow glazed tiles are shining, looking at it from afar, it looks like the mythical Qionglou Yuyu, magnificent atmosphere, solemn and solemn!

"Impressive." Ren Pingsheng was amazed in his heart.

"Shizi, please salute."

The voice of the Ministry of Rites official came.

Ren Pingsheng came back to his senses, gently put down the wild goose, and bowed in the direction of Fengtian Temple.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites stared at Ren Pingsheng, and when they saw that the process of his salute was blameless, they stepped forward and picked up the wild goose.

"Son, please wait."

After speaking, he hugged the wild goose and walked towards the hall in the distance.

Behind.

The eunuchs of the celebrant had already received the gifts from the guards and followed behind the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The sheep was as stubborn as ever, and it didn't go until two or three little eunuchs could drag it, and they hated it so much.

The wild goose that was carried away by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, probably used to living in the Ren Mansion, saw that the familiar people were getting farther and farther away from him, stretched his neck, and screamed bitterly.

"Quack—quack—"

The sound was loud and spread in all directions, echoing for a long time in the tranquil palace.

“......”

The corners of Ren Pingsheng's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a while.

Several guards behind him wanted to laugh, but they held back and didn't say a word.

I don't know how long I waited.

The official of the Ministry of Rites returned to Ren Pingsheng and said coldly: "Shizi, Your Majesty has accepted the gift and the text of the selection, and Nacai will end here." ”

And that's the end of it?

It's not the same as I imagined.

Ren Pingsheng thought that he would be troubled, but in fact, the whole process was very harmonious.

It went so smoothly, probably because the etiquette was wrong, and some officials had to be punished?

Thinking so, he listened to the official of the Ministry of Rites and said:

"Her Royal Highness the Queen held a banquet for the prince in the palace of the body, and invited the prince to the banquet."

"Okay."

Ren Pingsheng nodded, looked at the guards behind him, waved his hand and said, "You wait for me outside the palace." ”

"Yes!"

The guards saluted and turned to leave.

Afterwards.

Under the guidance of the guards of the Ministry of Rites.

Ren Pingsheng came to the door of the Jinshen Palace.

When you look up, you will see a stone carved with various patterns.

There are mountain cliffs, sea water and flowing clouds, and if you look closely, you can see the swimming dragon with nine orbs of mouth, the image is full of vitality and vitality.

When I entered the main hall, I saw the gold brick paving.

Sitting north to south, there is a throne carved with gold lacquer.

On top sat a woman.

She is wearing a red scarlet gold thorn five-phoenix suit, with delicate facial features, fair skin, and a dignified temperament.

At the first sight of her, Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but have a word in his mind - the charm still exists.

Subsequently, he tortured himself fiercely in his heart, how could anyone use this word to describe his mother-in-law, cheap!

After a short period of thought, he calmed down and saluted in a dignified manner:

"Ren Pingsheng, the prince of Chenzhen Beiwang, see Her Royal Highness the Queen!"

The queen on the throne bowed slightly, looking down at Ren Pingsheng, with no sadness or joy in her expression.

"Sit down, take a seat."

When the words fell, a palace maid moved the bench and placed it behind the front desk.

"Your Highness!"

Ren Pingsheng saluted again, walked to the back of the desk and sat down.

The queen looked around and asked, "Who hasn't arrived yet?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, Princess Yunhe and Prince Anguo have something to delay, so they will arrive later."

"Then don't wait."

It's a family banquet, there aren't so many trivial etiquette, just let the protagonist enter.

The queen waved her hand.

After a while, music sounded.

Accompanied by the melody, a graceful dancing girl walked into the main hall and danced.

At the same time, the palace maids held all kinds of delicacies and placed them in front of everyone's desks.

Ren Pingsheng looked around and found that most of the people at the banquet were peers of the same age as him.

There are men and women.

Judging from the costumes, there are officials from the six ministries, and there are also relatives of the emperor.

They knew each other for a long time, and when the dishes were served, they would change their glasses and start chatting.

Ren Pingsheng bowed his head and ate vegetables very interestingly, not to provoke right and wrong.

I have to say that the imperial chef in the palace has good skills, and the food he cooks is delicious, which is more than a star and a half stronger than the chef recruited by Ren Fu.

Ren Pingsheng ate for a while without distractions, and found that the hall was becoming more and more lively.

And when he looked up, he saw that the throne was empty.

It turned out that at some point, the queen had quietly left with several concubines.

Ren Pingsheng thought to himself:

"This queen understands very well, take all the elders away, and leave room for everyone to play."

Banquets are nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun.

Eating and drinking don't need to be said.

The play mainly revolves around "wine", including but not limited to throwing pots, flying flowers, and meandering water.

In the presence of the elders and drinking too much, it is inevitable that there will be inappropriate behavior.

So everyone restrained themselves and tried not to drink as much as possible.

After the elders left, the situation was completely different.

People who know each other well, no matter how much alcohol they drink, they have to drink each other to lie down, and this is the fun.

It's just that......

None of this has anything to do with Ren Pingsheng.

Today.

He's just a ruthless eating machine, that's all.

Ren Pingsheng thought so, picked up a piece of bear's paw meat, and put it in his mouth.

It was the first time he had eaten this, and it was a little fishy, not as delicious as he imagined.

Just when Ren Pingsheng was concentrating on eating and drinking.

Several people were silently watching him.

Seeing that he was always silent, someone couldn't bear it, took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, stood up, and said with a smile: "Throwing bricks and attracting jade, please take ambition as the theme, write poems and lyrics, if there is a talent to make a masterpiece, this piece of northern cold jade will be given to him!" ”

It was Yuan Zhe, the son of Zhongqinbo who spoke and the son-in-law of the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

The voice fell.

The hall was silent for a moment.

When everyone heard the words "North Land Cold Jade", their eyes lit up.

This thing is a treasure, only found in the cold lands north of the northern border, occupied by barbarians.

Worn on the body, it can nourish the meridians and warm the culture.

Whether it is a martial artist, a Confucian scholar, a Taoist priest, or even a Buddhist disciple, it can be used.

"This banquet was held for the prince of Zhenbei, who was known to have mediocre talents, no ambitions, and had been doing nothing for twenty years......

Yuan Zhe proposed to use ambition as the theme, obviously wanting to humiliate him.

I don't know how he's going to react. ”

Directly opposite Ren Pingsheng.

Liu Yutong, the king of Jin, looked at Yuan Zhe and then at Ren Pingsheng, the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile, looking lively.
