Chapter Fifty-Four: A Glimpse of the World.
Life is like a dream, and it is like an illusion.
Looking at the splendid palace in front of him, Chu Yu couldn't help but think of that bizarre dream, in which he saw this palace and the desperate fire. While thinking of these, the boundless sea surfaced in the depths of Chu Yu's memory.
Chu Yu always thought that it was just a dream, but he didn't expect that the palace in front of him was exactly the same as the one in the dream, and such a strange scene couldn't help but make Chu Yu in a trance.
Looking at Chu Yu, who looked a little dazed, Master Huitong asked with some surprise, "Master Chu, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Yu shook his head, and did not say what he had seen in his dream in the past: "It's nothing, it's just that I was surprised to see such a majestic palace." β
Hearing Chu Yu's words, Huitong smiled: "Bixia loves gold, so this golden palace is decorated like this, but the outside of this golden palace is smeared with a layer of gold dust, which is worthy of its name." After speaking, Huitong glanced at Chu Yu and said, come with me.
Chu Yu followed behind Huitong and looked at the Golden Palace silently, at this time the sky was blue, the snow on the golden glazed tiles had begun to melt, and the glazed tiles were shining dazzlingly under the sunlight, which looked particularly golden.
Around the Golden Palace, there are some ancient trees that are evergreen all year round, and the branches of the Wolong are covered with snow. Looking at the Golden Palace through the trees, it looks like a golden island.
Looking away from the trees, Chu Yu looked at the two dragons on the eaves of the palace, with golden scales and golden armor, vivid, as if they wanted to fly into the air.
There were two rows of guards next to the main road leading to the palace, and at this moment, people walked towards the palace in twos and threes, Huitong greeted acquaintances in front, and Chu Yu walked silently. The two soon came to the gate of the palace, the gate of the golden palace is golden, I don't know what material is made of, but it looks solemn.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Golden Palace, Chu Yu couldn't help but be stunned, what caught his eye was the cloud-white and clean hall, and there was a crystal lamp hanging in the center of the hall, and at this moment the crystal lamp reflected the clear pearl light like tears. The main hall is supported by eight golden pillars, each of which is engraved with a whirling and coiling, lifelike golden dragon, which is particularly spectacular.
On both sides of the main hall, there are dancing girls with fluttering sleeves and melodious music. Although it is a cold winter, there are countless petals on the ground, the wind moves the flowers, thousands of flowers, several layers of floors, the fragrance is fragrant, and it looks very beautiful. The jade bibs around the main hall are decorated with colorful flowers, but the calyxes are all white, and they are perfectly aligned with the jade bi.
Sandalwood incense burned on the pedestals around the main hall, and smoke filled the air. Seeing this scene, Chu Yu couldn't help but sigh, this deep palace can afford the four characters of drunken gold - the main hall is not only wide, but also gorgeous and abnormal, carved beams and painted buildings, the ground is paved with white jade, sandalwood is used as beams, and crystal is used as a lamp.
At the end of the main hall, there is a gilded throne, and in front of the seat is a huge pearl, which shines brightly. The throne is carved into a lotus, and the flowers are like a five-stemmed lotus, the petals are fresh and exquisite, and even the stamens are delicate and recognizable, but they are golden, seeing Chu Yu's eyes staring at the lotus throne, Huitong said on the side, this throne is chiseled by Lantian warm jade, including those steps are also polished from haode jade, implying the meaning of giving birth to lotus step by step.
Hearing Huitong's words, Chu Yu nodded, such a poor and extremely beautiful realm made Chu Yu amazed.
There were many royal guards standing around the main hall, and there were many people coming and going, after glancing around the main hall, Huitong said to Chu Yu: "The time for the party has not yet arrived, you can walk around here freely, but it is best to go around this main hall and do not go to the back." β
Hearing Huitong's words, Chu Yu nodded, and when Huitong left, Chu Yu watched the crowd turn around in the hall, standing alone by the window, he looked at Shijie outside the window - outside the palace was a man-made river, there were people standing by the river chatting, and there were even people dancing on the snow.
Although the snow on the ground had been cleaned and carpeted, Chu Yu really couldn't understand the life of an aristocrat.
Retracting his gaze, Chu Yu looked in the direction of the dancing singer, in the direction close to the temple wall, there was a woman who was stroking the qin there, because there was a crystal bead curtain to cover it, Chu Yu could not see the appearance of the person, but he could hear the sound of the piano, the sound of the piano was like a quiet stream dripping spring, clear and ethereal, exquisite.
Chu Yu didn't know much about the rhythm of music, but he listened to the sound of the piano, as if he saw a gurgling stream, and with the change of the sound of the piano, there was a picture in front of Chu Yu that the clothes streams converged into a river, and finally flowed into the river and sea with tenacious vitality and returned to calm.
The sound of the piano pauses for a while, and only the overtones remain, like the waves occasionally splashed by a fish jumping on the water.
Chu Yu, who sighed secretly in his heart, saw someone walking towards the bead curtain, and then walked out of the bead curtain A woman with a beautiful twenty-eight fragrance walked out of the bead curtain.
"Princess Chang'an is really getting more and more beautiful, I heard that Bixia is looking for a husband for him, I don't know whose boy has this blessing. β
"The two of us don't have a chance, you just have a son, and you're already married, and my indisputable mother-in-law gave birth to two daughters for me in a row, hey, it's sad. β
"Haha, Brother Qian, you're laughing. I don't know how many people are willing to be the fast son-in-law of Chenglong. β
Following the voice of the speaker, Chu Yu looked and saw that the person called Brother Qian was wearing a crimson velvet coat with white fur trim, and he was wearing a soft hat on his head, which was sewn with three mink skins, and there was a gold-plated silver ring on the crown, and eight silver balls were decorated on the upper edge.
The other also wears a red velvet coat, but the hat is trimmed with three lines of semi-mink, and the crown is crowned with a silver ring with four gold leaves and four silver balls.
Looking at the costumes of these two people, Chu Yu frowned, when he came to the Golden Palace just now, Monk Huitong specially explained to him who would come today and what they were wearing, according to Monk Huitong, in the empire, clothing represents a person's status.
Looking at the costumes of these two people, thinking of the words of Monk Huitong, Chu Yu didn't expect that one of these two people was a duke and the other was a marquis.
Regarding the imperial title, Chu Yu had heard about it when he was in the alliance, and knew that every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the imperial family would publish a list of people who had been awarded the title of Lord Bixia or awarded medals this year, because such a custom has existed for nearly a thousand years, so it is almost a convention now.
The imperial titles can be divided into three categories: one is the royal title, which is given to the royal family or the highest-ranking nobles, such as the princess of Chang'an, as the two just said. The second is the rank of nobility, which is given to ordinary nobles, such as hereditary nobles who have reached a certain level. The third is the meritorious position, which is given to people who have made significant contributions, such as Zhao Qiansun and Li Si, who made great contributions in the early days of the founding of the empire.
In general, only close relatives of the royal family can be awarded the title of Duke. During the Duke's lifetime, his eldest son was honored as a marquis. However, the ancestors of the four families of Zhao Qiansun and Li were not close relatives of the royal family, but only married to the royal family. In the past thousand years, there have only been six dukes in the empire, not including the Zhao family, which has lost the qualification for hereditary titles.
In addition, anyone who is considered by the royal family to have made a significant contribution to the country is likely to be canonized to the Order of Merit, which currently has ten types, such as the current Prime Minister, Duke Modrie, and commoners who are not entitled to the title.
Thinking about the division of the empire's titles, Chu Yu looked at the main hall, there were many people in red velvet coats in the palace, the only difference was the number of mink and silver balls on the hat. Chu Yu was watching, and a waiter stood in front of Chu Yu with a wine tray, asking Chu Yu if he needed a glass, Chu Yu nodded and smiled, and reached out to take the wine glass.
Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, Chu Yu took a sip, and felt that it was not as good as boiled water, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that he is not a nobleman in his bones. At this time, maids came to the main hall with all kinds of plates, and soon the tables on both sides of the main road leading to the lotus throne were filled with a dazzling array of foodβamber wine, gold-footed bottles, and jade plates...... The different cutlery has picturesque food on top of it, and it is appetizing to watch.
"Master Chu, why don't you communicate with others?" Huitong turned around at this time and ran over, there was a wine glass in his hand, Chu Yu didn't expect Huitong to also drink, and he was a little surprised when he looked at the wine glass. Seeing that Chu Yu's eyes were full of puzzlement, Huitong smiled and explained: "The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart." β
Chu Yu nodded: "The ...... from the hall today It looks like most of them are nobles. β
"Hundreds of members of the aristocracy, as well as people from political and military circles. Huitong said and began to explain to Chu Yu: "Which one do you see, it is Qian Yuxiao, the leader of the Democratic Party, and that one, it is the cabinet minister Gulota, who is in charge of the Ministry of Finance......"
Huitong said the names of seven or eight people to Chu Yu in one breath, and Chu Yu nodded and remembered it in his heart. After introducing some people to Chu Yu, Huitong looked at Chu Yu and frowned and said, "Something happened to the Sun family last night. β
"What's going on?" Hearing Huitong's words, Chu Yu asked with some concern, "Is it because of me?"
Huitong shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, or I just heard people talk about it, I just learned that the military circles surrounded the Sun family, and it was an order from Prime Minister Mo Delie." β
"What about Sun Ce?"
"I don't know. As soon as Huitong's words were finished, he saw that everyone in the main hall was looking towards the side hall, and following everyone's gaze, Huitong and Chu Yu found a familiar person.
Sun Ce, who was wearing a viscount costume, followed behind a person and walked towards the hall, Chu Yu could see clearly that the person standing in front of Sun Ce was Mo Wentian, who had met in the Sin Domain before.
"That's Prince Mo, how could Sun Ce be with him?" Looking at Mo Wentian and his party, Huitong muttered a little.
Chu Yu didn't answer, at this moment, there was some commotion in the hall, looking at the Qinglun National Teacher who came to the hall, Huitong said to Chu Yu and walked in the direction of the Qinglun National Teacher.
Looking at Qinglun National Master, Chu Yu found that he was followed by two monks, who had never met, and Chu Yu guessed that it should be Xuande and Xuanwu.
Seeing that everyone had surrounded Qinglun and Mo Wentian, Chu Yu took a sip of his wine glass. Looking at Chu Yu who was standing alone in the hall, Sun Ce looked around for a week and then walked towards Chu Yu, and as soon as he took two steps, Sun Ce paused, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face - Princess Chang'an actually walked towards Chu Yu.
Chang'an came to Chu Yu's side, looked Chu Yu up and down, suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, and then turned to leave. I don't know if it's intentional, when she left, Princess Chang'an intentionally or unintentionally stroked the hair on the back of her head with her hand, Chu Yu saw clearly that there was a bright red tattoo on the back of Luo Shishi's head and neck!
Seeing this scene, Chu Yu's eyes widened, and his face was incredible.
Why is Luo Shishi here? She is pretending to be Princess Chang'an? Isn't the seven-colored flower already surrounded and suppress......ed? These thoughts flashed from Chu Yu's mind, and he walked towards Luo Shishi, who was worried about Cao Man's comfort, and he wanted to ask Cao Man's whereabouts when he stopped in front of Luo Shishi.
But he looked at Luo Shishi's identity now, although she was pretending, no one recognized that she was not Princess Chang'an.
Seeing that Chu Yu stopped Princess Chang'an, several young nobles who had been following Princess Chang'an surrounded Chu Yu - Chu Yu was wearing a dress, not a nobleman. In their eyes, he is just a small citizen, at best, the son-in-law of a minister. With such an identity, he still dares to stop the princess?
