On the whole day of the fourth day of the first year, Shao Xi never left the inn, and always practiced the Canghai Jue and Canghai Liuyun Sword Technique in the backyard of the inn.

Although it is also a sword technique, the speed of cultivating the Canghai Jue to improve the grade is indeed much faster than that of the Drinking Feather Jue, after all, the requirements for the Qi Sea when this set of sword techniques are raised are much lower.

Although the requirements for the Qi Sea when you ascend to the "Qi Transformation Realm" in the future are no different from those of the Drinking Feather Jue, it is also quite necessary to quickly improve the level at least at the stage of the "Qi Realm".

Shao Xi has a high talent and a good foundation, and the cultivation of ready-made swordsmanship and sword skills is naturally a matter of course, so far, although the cultivation time is not long, but the entry is advancing by leaps and bounds.

In fact, what Shao Xi has been most eager for is to enter the "Qi Transformation Realm" as soon as possible, not to mention whether it is powerful or not, at least the Yuan Qi Visualization Exercise is really handsome!

I didn't see Lao Wu all day, Shao Xi asked Ning'er, and Ning'er said that Lao Wu went out of the city early in the morning and didn't tell her what to do. Shao Xi has long been surprised, this old guy is haunted all day long, and he doesn't bother to care.

Ning'er, this girl is really worry-free, she locked herself in the room to practice calligraphy after eating, and she didn't disturb Shao Xi's practice, she was really well-behaved and sensible.

After dinner, Shao Xi taught Ning'er to write in the room. After the time of the lamp, the disguised old Wu returned to the inn, said hello to Shao Xi, and then went back to his room, locked himself in the room and didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't come out until Shao Xi left the inn the next morning.

Early in the morning on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shao Xi changed into a neat new robe, after all, he was going to see the emperor, so he had to dress neatly and neatly.

When they arrived at the Egret Academy, Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai were already waiting in front of the door, and the carriage had already been prepared.

The two old masters were dressed in neat new robes and looked very formal. It can be seen how much the two of them value the "Hundred Learning Banquet" where hundreds of schools of thought gather, and they feel like they are facing a great enemy.

The three men got into the carriage, and the coachman whipped his whip, and the carriage went out steadily.

Sitting in the carriage, Shao Xi said to the two old masters: "Two masters, the juniors went to the palace for the first time, and they didn't understand many rules, so I don't know what the juniors should pay attention to when they get there?" ”

Liu Xingzhai said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, just remember not to talk to strangers at will, don't walk around, don't look around, don't touch, don't touch, don't eat when you speak to the saint, don't move around." ”

Shao Xi was made to cry and laugh, and said, "Mr. Liu, you said so much, and you still said nothing?" ”

"Hahaha! These are only the minimum requirements for entering the palace and facing the saints, and if you don't commit these crimes, your head will not fall to the ground. ”

Bai Dinggong also added on the side: "Shao Xi, you have to remember, especially not to walk around, there are many places in the forbidden land of the palace that you can't go to, if you walk around at will and inadvertently break into the forbidden place, no one can save you." ”

"The students understand that after entering the palace, the students will always follow the two gentlemen, and will not move around at will and cause unnecessary trouble."

Bai Dinggong nodded and said, "Then it will be fine, if there is anything you don't understand, Mr. Liu and I will secretly remind you." ”

"Let the two gentlemen bother."

Liu Xingzhai waved his hand and said, "It's okay, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, even if it's a little problem, with our two old guys here, you don't have to worry." ”

Because he was going to enter the palace today, when he was about to go out, Shao Xi left the short knife in his boots and the soft sword on his waist at the inn for Ning Er's safekeeping, and the only thing he had on his body was the folding fan.

Even if you bring something like a short knife or a soft sword, you have to be detained before you get to the palace gate, it's not that you won't be returned, you can't bring it in anyway. And if a scholar of an academy carries these things, I am afraid that he will be taken care of by the Ouchi guards.

The carriage went all the way to the north, because today was to go to the banquet, so it did not go through the main gate of the palace, but entered through the silver gate on the north side, and went directly to the Lin De Hall where the banquet was held.

Because Daliang City is too big, so the carriage swayed for half an hour to reach the Yintai Gate in the north of the palace, and after the three of them got off, the coachman drove the carriage to the side.

Just because horses are not allowed in the palace, everyone can only enter the palace on foot.

When I came to the palace gate, I saw that many people had arrived in advance, and everyone was queuing up to be inspected by the palace guards.

This is the consistent rule of entering the palace, after all, it is the royal place, and safety is the supreme thing, so whether it is a civil minister or a military general, or these scholars and masters are treated equally.

When it was Shao Xi's turn and the others, they didn't find anything, and the folding fan in Shao Xi's hand didn't make the guards feel any danger, in fact, it was difficult for ordinary people to imagine that a folding fan could be used as a weapon, so several people also entered the palace city smoothly.

It's just that there is a city gate, but the landscape inside and outside is completely different. Although it is only a side hall, the scale of the Lin De Hall is still shocking enough. Lay the flat bluestone slab road has been extended to the entrance of the main hall, the whole hall is magnificent, the blue bricks and black tiles, the eaves and arches, the bluestone steps, the purple wood is the beam, although it is not how majestic and magnificent, but it can also be said to be a grand view.

For the people in ancient times, these things may not have been seen in their lives, but they are not unusual for Shao Xi. In the modern world with advanced information, a person does not know how much to see in his life with the video materials of this kind of architecture! Therefore, Shao Xi is already no stranger.

Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai saw that Shao Xi did not look around curiously like others, but followed the two of them with calm faces, and the two couldn't help but secretly praise this young man in their hearts for being calm and old, acting in a measured manner, and indeed quite a gentleman's style, and the two of them appreciated Shao Xi a little more.

When you come to the hall, it is needless to say that the carved beams and painted buildings are not to mention. On both sides of the main hall, there are several rows of desks, and on top of the brocade seats, there are soft cushions, all of which are prepared for the people who sit at the table. On the top side of the main hall, there is a large case of simple shape, and behind the case is a huge Nanmu seat screen carved with a cloud dragon pattern.

The leading eunuchs in the hall compared the names in their hands with the invitations handed by the people who came, and led each person to the banquet to their respective seats according to their status.

Because Shao Xi was Bai Dinggong's protégé, he could only sit behind the side of the division commander and put a few in front of him for the purpose of drinking and feasting.

Although many people had entered the hall, the hall was unusually quiet, except for the rustling of the clothes of the banquet attendees, but no conversation was heard, not even in whispers.

Shao Xi knelt on the cushion and glanced around from the corner of his eye, only to see that all the people who came were dressed as literati, although they were dressed in different styles, they could see that they were all scholars and masters with extraordinary status.

Once everyone is seated, it's a very boring waiting time. Shao Xi secretly scolded the emperor in his heart that the time of the old boy is time, and the time of Lao Tzu is not time? To have such a large group of people sitting here stupidly waiting for one person is such a bastard! However, these words are just a curse in my heart.

After a long time, I saw an old eunuch dressed in gorgeous clothes and a father-in-law come out from behind the seat screen, and shouted in an extremely sharp and piercing voice: "The Holy Lord has arrived——! ”

Everyone present hurriedly got up, bowed their hands, and bowed their heads to greet them.

As soon as the father-in-law's words fell, a person walked out from behind the seat screen, dressed in a yellow robe, with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with gold silk on the robe, a twenty-four jade belt on his waist, a purple and gold crown, phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, five long hairs, a solemn complexion, and a majestic momentum.

The person in front of him is none other than Xiao Changyi, the fifth-generation monarch of the Jingyuan Empire, the current emperor with the name Longan.

Xiao Changyi stood in front of the desk, and everyone bent down on their knees, bowed and bowed, and shouted in unison, "See Your Majesty!" ”

Although Shao Xi hates kneeling and worshipping like this the most, there is no way at this time, who let the one above be the emperor?

Xiao Changyi glanced at the people under the hall and said, "All the masters, please get even!" ”

Everyone dared to get up when they heard this, but after getting up, they all bowed down and stood, the emperor had not yet sat down, and no one dared to sit down in advance.

After Xiao Changyi sat down, he said, "Masters, please sit down!" Today's feast is not a pilgrimage, so you don't have to be too restrained. ”

After everyone got Xiao Changyi's permission, they shouted in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Only then did the big guy dare to sit down.

After sitting down, Shao Xi secretly complained in his heart: "It's really not easy to go to the emperor's house for a meal!" Kneeling again, worshipping again, tossing and still haven't served the food, but fortunately I drank a bowl of porridge before coming. ”

As soon as everyone in the hall sat down, the father-in-law walked to the desk and announced loudly to the people of His Highness: "To the banquet!" ”

This is the custom of the royal banquet, before each banquet by the emperor to give a banquet speech, after the banquet if there is a person who wants to give a thank-you banquet, can also stand in the palace to give a speech, in order to thank the emperor for his hospitality.

The father-in-law bowed and retreated to the side, Xiao Changyi got up and said: "The first ancestor used martial arts to level the Quartet, and to set the world with literature. However, my world is the world of the people of the world, and the rivers and mountains of me are also the rivers and mountains of the people of the world. The world is stable and must preach to solve doubts, write to reason, and work tirelessly over the years. The people of this generation have a feast to thank you! Don't forget that drinking and feasting are the food of the world, and you should repay the world! ”

Shao Xi sat down and listened to it so much that his brain hurt, this emperor is really a thousand words, and the words that can not be used are omitted, it sounds really obscure. He didn't know if the masters present understood it, but he was confused anyway.

When the emperor had finished speaking, the father-in-law stood up again and announced loudly: "Thank you for the banquet!" ”

This kind of thing is generally arranged in advance, some are voluntary, and those that are not voluntarily arranged, so as not to embarrass the emperor without a thank-you banquet.

Shao Xi felt "Mom sells batches" in his heart for a while, why is there so much when he eats?
