Chapter 19: The Reception Banquet
Gao Ming and Lu Luo walked side by side.
Gao Ming was quite curious about Changqing in his heart, so he asked Lu Luo: "Lu Luo, you just said that Brother Changqing is the young master of the mansion?
Lu Luo nodded: "Yes, the people in the mansion call him Young Master, and the people outside call him His Royal Highness." ”
I see.
Gao Ming didn't know the path, so he only followed Lu Luo.
Gao Ming asked Lu Luo, "Lu Luo, do you need to go over to the banquet now?"
Lu Luo replied: "No, the old lady, and Lord Tang Sui haven't gone over yet." Just now, the old man ordered to wait for the emperor a little longer. Let's go back and rest first. Childe, your face is so bad, it's really hard for you today. ”
When Gao Ming heard this, he patted his cheeks with both hands, and said with a smile: "Is it? Actually, it's not a big deal, but I'm just startled." ”
Lu Luo complained slightly: "It's not a big deal, the son is really big." Lu Luo has made tea for you, take a break, drink some tea to suppress the shock. ”
That night, Bai Sheng, the prince of letters, held a banquet for Gao Ming and Tang Sui.
In fact, their cultivators are not like the secular world, where they put on a big feast and make people uproar.
The two daughters of the prince were not there, only His Royal Highness Changqing happened to return home and happened to catch up.
So, in fact, it is just a table where the host guests have dinner. It's no different from ordinary people entertaining guests. It's just that the dishes are more substantial.
As for what is very different from ordinary people, I'm afraid that there is a special person. At this time, everyone was drinking tea and waiting for the man to arrive.
"Grandpa Huangzu, nephew and grandpa Huangzu are here!"
Before he could see him, a loud voice came from outside the door.
Bai Sheng got up and greeted him.
Gao Ming turned his head to look out of the door, only to see a long figure appearing at the door, looking about forty years old. He was wearing a yellow coat, inside which was a white silk civilian dress, and he had the air of a nobleman, and it was difficult to hide his plain clothes. Between the expectations, the majesty is self-revealed.
This man walked like the wind, and strutted with his head held high. After entering the door, he didn't squint, quickly greeted Bai Sheng, bowed his waist first, and exclaimed: "Grandpa Huangzu is well!"
What a filial grandson!
Bai Sheng walked a few steps quickly and stepped forward to help him up.
Bai Sheng shook his sleeve robe left and right, tidied up his clothes, and bowed respectfully: "The old minister has seen the emperor." ”
What a respectful and courteous courtier!
Gao Ming watched this special pair of next-generation ancestors and grandchildren politely to each other, and couldn't help but snort.
To be honest, he is also a little panicked now, he is a common man in modern society, and he has met the legendary emperor in a foreign land?
However, Gao Ming was not in a hurry, and when he glanced at Tang Sui and saw that Tang Sui was still sitting safely, he was relieved. Anyway, he made up his mind, and he would follow what Tang Sui did.
I saw Bai Sheng lead the emperor over to introduce Tang Sui and said, "Brother Tang Sui, this is my descendant, and now he is the emperor of this Heng Sun Country." ”
Then he turned his head to the emperor and said, "This is the old minister's confidant and friend for many years, you should pay tribute to your seniors." ”
The emperor stretched out his hands to both sides, hugged a big circle, bowed his waist and bowed, and said, "I've seen my predecessors." ”
Tang Sui stood up, helped him up, and said with a smile in his mouth: "You're polite, you're polite." ”
Gao Ming was dumbfounded.
Tang Sui has that shelf, he can't have it.
At this time, sure enough, Bai Sheng also brought the emperor over and introduced: "This little friend is from the same way as your Tang Sui predecessors, you have to be closer and closer." ”
Gao Ming stood up first, bowed his hand and said, "I've seen this brother!"
The emperor was slightly stunned, and then quickly reacted, smiled and returned the salute: "Fortunately, I will be lucky!"
Gao Ming quietly glanced at Tang Sui, only to see Tang Sui nodding to him with a smile, and Gao Ming felt a burst of secret joy in his heart.
Tang Sui and Bai Sheng sat side by side at the top, and the emperor sat down next to Bai Sheng at the bottom. Gao Ming sat under Tang Sui, and after Changqing took the emperor over, he looked for Gao Ming and sat down next to Gao Ming.
And the princess came just in time, greeted everyone, and sat down next to her son.
The princess I saw at this moment was different from the last time.
I saw that she was wearing a golden silk bead bun on her head, inserting a golden phoenix hairpin, and hanging a string of hanging beads swaying in her sideburns. With a red gold jewel around his neck, a pure white silk embroidered with gold thread, and a flower jacket with gold satin, a body of jewelry, extravagance, like a fairy palace concubine, the colorful sleeves are brilliant, and the brilliance is shining.
The princess has always followed a woman to help her all the way. This woman is different from ordinary maids, dressed in red, like a steward.
This woman is quite tall, no different from Gao Ming. Zhonghe figure, willow leaf eyebrows, melon seed face, two cheeks like lychee tender meat, Qiong nose like white jade clotted fat. Although his demeanor is gentle and demure, he is actually not smiling, and his majesty is faintly revealed.
Lu Luo quietly leaned up and greeted in a low voice: "Sister Hongsheng!"
Hongshang nodded and agreed lightly, and said, "Stand up honestly." ”
Lu Luo smiled and jumped sideways twice, put his hands behind his back, and stood behind Gao Ming and Changqing in an orderly manner.
Lu Luo and Red Dress were not seated, and the reception feast began.
However, in fact, Bai Sheng and Tang Sui had already passed Bigu, so they didn't need to eat, but they tasted two bites casually; the emperor had a special status, so he only ate a few bites at will; the princess ate even less, and simply stretched out a few chopsticks to make a look, and her lips didn't even get oil.
Gao Ming is different, he has been hungry for a long time, let him be thirty-seven twenty-one, and talk about it when he is full.
Gao Ming ate violently. Although the flavor here is very different from home, it tastes really good.
During the banquet, I only heard Bai Sheng and the emperor say: "Your Majesty, have you been nervous about state affairs recently, and is there a place where you need to use the old minister?"
When he asked this, Gao Ming complained ten thousand times in his heart.
The emperor was hearty, and said loudly: "Don't worry, the grandpa of the emperor is incompetent, but he can still hold the territory of his ancestors." The whole country is working together, and it can be regarded as thriving. ”
"Oh, since that's the case, then the old minister is also relieved. I plan to retreat once a day, and the only thing I am worried about is that the emperor has a need, and the old minister cannot respond in time. ”
"Retreat?" the emperor seemed to be stunned for a moment: "Uh, this, I don't know how long the emperor's grandfather is going to retreat?"
"Two years. ”
"Huh, so long?" the emperor twisted his body slightly in the seat and said, "This, don't hide it from grandpa, for such a long time, the grandson feels a little uneasy in his heart." ”
Looking at the situation, the emperor was extremely respectful to Bai Sheng, after all, he was an ancestor elder. And Bai Sheng also abides by the etiquette and duty of his courtiers. The emperor treated Bai Sheng with an attitude of "reporting good news but not bad news", no major incidents, and did not bother. As for Bai Sheng, he didn't deliberately come out.
But in the end, Bai Sheng is still the emperor's Dinghai Divine Needle.
