On the second day of the Lunar New Year, because he agreed to Lin Xiao's invitation.

So when he got up early in the morning, Li Ping'an and Lao Niu and Biao began to clean up the house.

The doors and windows were tightly closed, and then they left and right.

I thought I wouldn't take Biao with me, but I didn't feel at ease to leave Biao at home, and I had to leave Lao Niu to take care of Biao.

Lao Niu quit, and finally went to the palace, but he had to see it.

I had no choice but to bring it with me, and one person, one cow and one biao came to the periphery of the palace leisurely.

Before he could get closer, a guard trotted over and saluted with his fists clenched.

"Dare to ask, but Mr. Li?"

"Exactly, I don't know how the general recognized Li?"

"Your Majesty has an order, let the last general wait here for sir, sir, please come with me."

"There is labor."

Stepping into the palace, "Bang!! ”

There was a muffled sound, and the door behind him slowly closed.

Deep Palace Compound...... It's kind of interesting.

A little snowflakes fell from the sky, mixed with the wind blowing in the sky.

Winter goes to spring, and the snow is shockingly cold.

Li Ping'an walked while enjoying the snow scene in the palace.

Walking through a road, I saw the waiting Emperor of Great Xia, as well as Lin Xiao and others.

Emperor Daxia's robe was stained with a lot of snow, and it looked like he had been waiting for a long time.

"Tourist Li Ping'an has seen Your Majesty." Li Ping'an bowed slightly.

It's not a kneeling prostration, or a way of greeting ordinary friends.

The emperor also returned the salute lightly, "I've been waiting for Mr. for a long time, Mr. please." ”

A moment later, several people walked into the temple.

Li Ping'an couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw this scene.

I thought it was an ordinary light meal, but who knew that the ministers of civil and military affairs were there, and looked down at the black and beautiful pieces.

Officials mainly wear robes, wear beams and crowns, wear cloud heads, and distinguish their grades by crowns and leather belts.

Standing there in unison, there was a majesty of their own.

Li Ping'an glanced at it lightly, his expression calm.

The ministers of civil and military affairs also looked at Li Ping'an at the same time, seeing that the other party's expression was leisurely, he had a sense of otherworldliness, and a sense of respect arose in his heart.

"Sir, take a seat."

So, Li Ping'an sat next to the emperor, which can be regarded as an extremely close position.

According to etiquette, the crown prince's seat is located to the east of the throne and to the west.

The kings set up their seats from the south to the east and west, and the ministers above the fourth rank were in the palace, and the fifth rank and below were entertained outside the palace.

And the people around the Son of Heaven are all extraordinary, the chief worshipper of Great Xia, the Taoist of Great Xia who holds the bull's ear, and the Qintian supervisor is the .....

"Sit."

Li Ping'an raised his hand and motioned for Lao Niu and Biao to sit down.

There was already a eunuch with a stool.

Biao took a deep breath, and was covered in sweat at this moment.

After all, it's still a monster, and this palace has its own power to protect it.

Not to mention ordinary demons, even the big demons who can be called the number one don't dare to enter the palace at will.

If it weren't for Li Ping'an's support, I'm afraid it would have been wiped out by this time.

However, the fear cannot be eliminated.

Biao kept swallowing his saliva and trembling.

If it continues like this, it is estimated that I will be scared to death first.

The great music was played, after the emperor ascended to the throne.

Firecrackers rang out outside, and the emperor raised his glass and finished drinking.

And all the rulers fell down and bowed in praise.

The few people in the upper seat did not move, but only bowed slightly at the emperor.

However, the protagonist of this banquet is obviously not the Emperor of Great Xia, but he Li Ping'an.

From beginning to end, Li Ping'an's line of sight was no less than the number of hands.

Li Ping'an didn't know anything and waited for the banquet to start.

With a series of cumbersome etiquette passed, finally.

Banquet !! ”

The voice of the ceremonial officer finally kicked off the feast, and then brightly dressed palace maids walked in one after another with plates of food.

The raw materials of the banquet food are all rare from all over the world, which can be meat or vegetarian, and the flavor is different.

From all over the country to Beijing by land and water, some fresh food is expedited by stagecoach.

Carefully prepared by the famous chef of the Imperial Dining Room, the cooking pays attention to the materials, colors, and shapes, and the four seasons are different.

Naturally, they are all excellent quality.

"Moo~"

The old cow let out a low cry, his eyes shining.

Even Biao forgot his fear for a moment and was fascinated by the delicacies on the table.

"Ahem~ Pay attention to the image later."

Li Ping'an coughed lightly and reminded.

The old cow asked if it could be packed?

"Probably not..."

"Moo."

The old cow patted his stomach, since he couldn't pack it, he would definitely have to eat more later.

When the music starts, a moving flute sound rises softly, sometimes long, sometimes soft, and goes straight to the hearts of the people.

The women danced with long sleeves, like laughing, happy, happy, and ashamed.

Countless delicate petals gently flutter between the top and bottom, and the refreshing floral fragrance is intoxicating.

The footsteps are light and graceful, ethereal like a fairy, and the wide sleeves open and close to cover it, which sets off the beautiful posture of the dancer.

The banquet gradually became lively, and everyone talked and laughed.

"Sir, I would like to give you a drink." The Great Xia Emperor raised his glass.

Li Ping'an drank the wine down.

Lin Xiao chatted with Li Ping'an for a while, and then went down to toast the princes and elders, and the ministers took turns.

There is no prince in the Great Xia Kingdom so far, and the emperor of Great Xia does not have many sons, and the one who has some virtue and talent is Lin Xiao.

Others are either too young or not candidates for statecraft.

To put it mildly, the tallest of the short.

Although the crown prince has not yet been established, many ministers tacitly believe that the position of the prince must be Lin Xiao's.

"Come to the second uncle, it's done."

A burly-looking middle-aged man smiled, and he drank a few large glasses in a row, but it did not affect him to drink it all again.

"Second uncle, the amount of alcohol is still the same."

King Yan glanced at Li Ping'an and asked puzzledly, "I said eldest nephew, who is the person sitting next to His Majesty?" ”

"It's Mr. Lee."

“.... Where did you practice before? Who is the teacher? ”

King Yan entered Beijing yesterday, although he had heard a little about Gu Xizhou's troubles in the palace, but he knew very little about the specific situation.

"It's... The little nephew doesn't know very well. ”

King Yan was even more puzzled now, how could someone who didn't even know about his teacher sit on the top position.

Lin Xiao approached and whispered.

After a while, King Yan showed a sudden expression.

"The second uncle is at his own convenience, and the little nephew has to pay tribute to the other uncles."

Without exception, all the princes who rushed back from other places asked a question.

The people who are here naturally know each other, whether it is the Taoist bull-eared person, or the Qintian Supervisor, the chief worshipper of Great Xia...

It's just that Li Ping'an sat there with a cow and a biao, which was very conspicuous.

Lin Xiao had to explain them one by one.
