Chapter 108: His Congratulatory Gift
According to the etiquette system, in the first round of wine, every time there is a round of dishes, there will be an immortal envoy or demon monarch who comes forward to pour a cup of greetings.
The sheng flute and qin were played in unison, and Xuanzhi gave wine, then drank first, then danced, and then the immortal envoy and the demon king drank. Then, the palace people offered tea and wine, fragrant candy seeds, honey-stained plum blossoms, yellow cold dumplings, cowpea cakes, green plums and golden apricots and other food and drinks, and presented them to the guests at the table.
The second round is a staple food such as scorching bones, during which various eulogies and slow tunes are played, which is a consistent serious and boring process. All kinds of subtle etiquette are one after another, cumbersome and boring. A person like Xuan Zhi, who is quite meticulous, doesn't want to have any omissions, and Feng Ling is tired and panicked for him.
The monotonous drinking ceremony was repeated over and over again, Feng Ling only felt dizzy, her eyes were almost open, and she didn't dare to yawn.
Push the glass and change the lamp, and the wine will pass three rounds.
In order to take care of all the envoys who came, each envoy gave wine one by one. Although the wine in Xuanzhi's cup was only poured a little shallow each time, the three rounds drank it, and they were still a little unbearable. In the fourth round, Xuanzhi was a little drunk.
Congratulatory gifts were presented in waves, and wine was naturally indispensable.
Just wanted to look behind him, Feng Ling was in a dazed sleepiness, and he didn't notice his gaze at all, and he didn't know where the celebration had come.
"The congratulatory gift of the Third Highness of the Heavenly Clan has arrived. β
Until the immortal envoy shouted this, Feng Ling had not recovered from her sleepiness.
The palace people on Xuanzhi's side stepped forward to receive the gift, and the immortal envoy read while handing over: "100 horses of Nanshan colored silk, six pairs of Zhaoxia jade, a Biluo magic weapon, a box of magpie tail smoked balls in the East China Sea, two hedgehog horns, a box of Dinghai pearls, and a pair of jade jade hairpins in Yaochi......"
As the immortal envoy came up one after another with the congratulatory gifts, everyone present was a little surprised, and the whispers in the main hall became more and more, like the humming of cicadas in summer.
"The congratulatory gifts of the Third Highness are too valuable......
"Yes, there are not so many congratulatory gifts from the Heavenly Monarch, just now I saw the congratulatory gifts of the Mountain Protector Divine Monarch, I thought it was the most, but I didn't expect it to be even more. β
"That's not it, who knows if it's broken. Back then, this pair was the envy of many people. This time Feng Ling and the Demon Lord got married, and we still guess that the Third Highness will not send someone. I didn't expect to come, and I wasn't afraid of embarrassment. β
Hongxi's lungs were about to explode when she listened below, and she reasoned with them when she went up: "Why is it that the thread is broken, can't the ex-fiancΓ© give a congratulatory gift, you are really narrow-minded!"
"Say we're narrow-minded, what kind of pimple do you come out of the pimple? Keep your eyes open and see, the gift list hasn't been read yet, this is obviously unusual, and it is obviously ill-intentioned. β
"You little fairy, you don't even know me, and you dare to say that you are a lump of dirt? Believe it or not, I broke off your lord's marriage!"
The mountain guard grabbed Hongxi and dragged him to stop his urge to jump up and hit people.
......
The speculation was like a tide, and Xuan Zhi listened silently, but he couldn't see the emotion on his face.
After a long time, the immortal behind the immortal envoy finally left the last one.
The immortal envoy of the gift list also paused.
So everyone couldn't help but quiet down, the congratulatory gift in front was extravagant enough, and they were all a little curious about what the finale congratulatory gift was.
The immortal envoy was unhurried, and waited until the buzzing in the hall faded and the sound of breathing could almost be heard, before he cleared his throat and said loudly: "At this point, the congratulatory gift is over." β
"Gone?" muttered a demon monarch.
The guests next to him also answered: "How can it be, isn't there another gift?"
Someone sneered: "Could it be that you are reluctant to send it and are ready to take it back untouched?"
The immortal envoy smiled slightly, completely unaffected by everyone, and said calmly: "The last one is not a congratulatory gift." β
After speaking, he waved his hand, and Xian'e behind him hurriedly walked to the front and opened the gift box in his hand-
Inside was a woman's belt.
"Princess Fengling fell in the Bisara belt of Qinning Palace, and now the thing is returned to the original owner. It was originally a couple, but His Royal Highness didn't know the severity, but unfortunately it was difficult to return the other broken belt, and I asked Princess Fengling to forgive me. β
There was an uproar in the main hall for a moment! This object, even in the stupid little fairy and demon, can understand what it means.
Yamago and Hongxi didn't expect things to come to this point, the two looked at each other, thinking, no wonder Chang Jue didn't let them help bring the gift, it turned out to be a designed "big gift".
For a while, all the guests looked at Feng Ling. Feng Ling didn't understand what was going on at all, and threw everything to Xuan Zhi with great peace of mind, she was immersed in a sleepy fog, and the sound outside ran into her ears, but she didn't go to her head.
Dandan next to her was so frightened that her face turned white, pulled her sleeve, and kicked her seat again, and she came back to her senses.
"You...... You...... Oops!" King Xicheng was so angry that he stomped his feet, grabbed his placket tightly, and glared at Feng Ling angrily: "Why did your father give birth to such a shameless thing as you!"
"Your Majesty, this is a great humiliation, this marriage cannot be completed!" A demon monarch knelt in front of Xuan Zhi: "Who knows that she and the Heavenly Clan have never broken off, the princess has betrayed the Demon Clan for Chang Jue before, and killing her relatives is not counted, but also causing the people of the Demon Realm to live in a miserable way for three hundred years." This viciousness is not to be taken lightly. If marrying the king is also a strategy, what should we demons do! The king should not be blinded by this pair of men and women, think twice!"
In this scene, the old department that supported the bloodline of the Feng clan was silent.
"In this way, it reminds the minister of the matter! The child who was lost before may be ...... Maybe...... Please think twice. Another vassal king also knelt in front of Xuan Zhi.
When the other ministers heard this, they also knelt down and asked for the marriage to be stopped, and the whole hall was soon in chaos.
Hongxi was stunned for a moment, and before she heard anything, she knew that the child might not be Xuanzhi's. Excitedly, he turned his head sideways and said, "Shanhu, did you hear, that child may have been Changjiu before, this is amazing." Does Chang Jue know about this......? Where are you going?"
Shan Hu had already walked towards Feng Ling, and when he saw that her expression was calm, he smiled slightly and paused.
Feng Ling sat on it peacefully, which really confirmed the rumored lawlessness again. It's all like this, and it's still a cool look that doesn't care about itself. Boredom, he propped his chin on his hand and watched the farce below.
Isn't it angry, how is it possible.
Seeing the Bisara belt in Xian'e's hand, he had the heart to go up and kill the immortal envoy.
But there is nothing in fear or shame.
Feng Ling didn't care about any embarrassment, how did the strap break, how could she not know. But she was not afraid to face that thing. She is a victim, why should the victim be ashamed and embarrassed?
It is the perpetrator who should be embarrassed, not her.
But soon there was a flash of worry in her eyes, because Xuan Zhi was obviously not quite right.
She can not care about other people's criticism of herself, she doesn't care about her own face. But Xuanzhi's face, she still cares. He clearly didn't do anything wrong, so she didn't want him to be ridiculed by others because of himself.
Walking to Xuanzhi's side, Feng Ling pulled Xuanzhi's sleeve, but Xuanzhi did not react, leaving her with a heavy back.
Feng Ling waited for a while, and her cold voice couldn't hold back any longer: "This marriage, let's stop it." Anyway, if you don't finish the last salute, you can't count. β
