Chapter 41: The Family Feast of the Mongol Prince

When they stepped up the steps and just stepped into the gate of the Liangyi Temple, two women who looked like flowers and jade, holding white Hada in their hands, bowed down to block the way, and they muttered words of welcome and blessing, and hung Hada on the necks of Peony Yong and Ula Quaqua, and the two of them hurriedly put their hands together in front of their chests to express their gratitude to those who offered Hada.

When the two women who offered Hada turned around and dodged away, Peony Yong understood at a glance that this was a family banquet. I saw Liang Wang Boyan and a middle-aged lady in full costume sitting on the jade steps of the main hall, and the two sides of the main hall were lined up with desks in turn, full of dressed men, women and children. At this time, everyone turned their heads and looked at the group of people who had just poured in.

Accompanied by the two princesses, Peony Yong and Wu La Quaqua walked towards King Liang, and at a distance of three meters from the case of King Liang and his wife, they stood on their feet, raised their hands above their heads, and then folded them together to their chests and bowed and said: "I wish King Liang and his wife a good New Year! Fortune and health! Fortune Empire! Six animals are prosperous, and the country is peaceful and peaceful!"

Liang Wang Boyan laughed and said, "Hahaha, it's good." Today is a family banquet, and during the Spring Festival, the two sons don't have to be too polite! When they sat down at a table full of sweet milk skin, butter, mellow milk wine, crispy fried fruit and fried rice, milk tea, cheese and the unique grassland characteristics of "hand-grilled meat", they saw Princess Mu Yizhen wearing several hada around her neck and carrying milk wine to toast.

Pouring wine and toasting guests is the traditional way of Mongolian hospitality. They believe that fine wine is the essence of food, the crystallization of grains, and take out the most precious food to offer, is to express the respect and love of the grassland herdsmen to the guests. Because Peony Yong and Ula Quaqua have a life-saving grace to Princess Mu Yizhen, this first wine must be saluted by her.

Princess Mu Yizhen poured the wine in a golden cup, held it on top of the long hata, and sang a moving traditional Mongolian toast:

The golden cup is full,

Mellow milk wine,

Raise your hands above your head

Sailel's Outer Winter;

Dear relatives,

Gather together for a toast,

Sailel's Outer Winter;

At the feast,

Roasted whole sheep is delicious,

Sailel's Outer Winter;

O benefactor,

With a glass of wine in hand,

Sailel's Outer Winter Race.

I didn't expect Princess Mu Yizhen's singing voice to be so tactful and melodious, affectionate and moving. This singing voice moved the hearts of the two fairy world teenagers in front of her heartily, and a smile filled her face.

Peony Yong understands that if he does not drink alcohol at this time, he will be considered to look down on the master and be unwilling to treat each other with sincerity, which is against the etiquette of this nation. He then took the wine glass, and then dipped the wine with his ring finger and lit it in the direction of the heaven, earth, and fire furnace to show his respect for the gods of heaven, earth, and fire. This is also a ritual that the Mongolian people must follow. He thought that with the age of recognition he gave people now, it should be okay if he couldn't drink. So, he let the wine touch his lips and gestured, showing that he accepted the pure friendship of the princess.

Ula also cleverly followed suit, and sure enough, he won the satisfied smile of Princess Mu Yizhen, and at the same time, he also made King Liang and his wife who were sitting on it nod their heads in approval. The eyes of Mrs. Liang Wang showed her love for Peony Yong.

Then Mrs. Liang Wang, who was dressed in national costume, picked up the fragrant milk wine, and toasted as the hostess: "Today's family banquet has two distinguished guests, at this beautiful moment at the beginning of the new year, please drink a glass of grassland wine with all of us, which is the essence of our national traditional food, and is also full of the kindness and affection of our nation on horseback and good wishes for the future!"

Peony Yong and Ula stood up, raised the wine glasses above their heads to express their gratitude, and then the guests and hosts drank the wine together.

Then Liang Wang Boyan raised his glass and said: "These two young heroes have saved our most beautiful 'Zobu Luhua' on the grassland, let us dedicate the best food and wine on the grassland, the whitest Hada, and the most touching praise and singing to them!"

At this time, there was already a Mongolian dancer dressed in costume, and the melodious sound of the horse-head piano unique to the grassland sounded, and I saw Princess Mu Yizhen, who stood up, singing in a tactful voice:

"Hi...... Hi......

Hi...... Hi......

From the grassland to the mountains

The golden cup is held high and the wine is fragrant

Auspicious clouds send auspiciousness

Songs of praise resounded everywhere

Hi...... Hi......

Hi...... Hi......

Strong winds in the Horqin steppe

The Buddha moves the waves of Erhai Lake

Hand-grilled lamb is delicious and mellow

The legend of the ancient city of Dali is newly sung

Hi...... Hi......

Hi...... Hi......

The heroic boy came to my side

Like the rising sun, it shines brightly

To clear away the gloom, we gather together

Hada White wishes you happiness and good health

Hi...... Hi......

Hi...... Hi......

This tactful Mongolian long tune was interpreted very beautifully and movingly by Princess Mu Yizhen. After singing, she came over and offered Hada again to Peony Yong and Ula Quaqua, and then sat beside them to drink wine and eat meat together.

For a time, the sound of music and dancing in the main hall, coupled with the crisp sound of knives and forks hitting plates, and the sound of singing and laughing toasting each other, the heroic scene of the Mongolian banquet was highlighted.

It didn't take long for Peony Yong and Ula to have a thick layer of Hada around their necks, and everyone came to toast and praise and offer Hada. They ushered in the send-off, they were very busy, and they were completely immersed in it, happy and forgot their worries.

After the commotion, Mai Ji retreated. Seeing Princess Ala Tenghua coming, she sat down in front of a zither that had just been placed in the center of the hall, and the hall was instantly quiet.

I saw Princess Aratenghua smile slightly, leaned over, and then elegantly raised her arm, and her jade fingers gently stroked the surface of the piano, and when she was contemplating and pondering, the sound of the piano sounded in vain in the hall. The sound of the piano is so euphemistic but revealing resolute and unrestrained, stepping on;

Peony Yong listened attentively and watched carefully, only to see a faint smile on the corner of the lips of the princess of the Alaten flower, like the spring water that a river has just melted the ice and snow; her eyes glow with a sparkling luster, like neon; her pure face seems to be smeared with a layer of faint pastel, which is so radiant. At this time, Princess Arattan's ruddy lips were slightly opened, her charming eyes flowed, and her quiet charm, coupled with her plain white light gauze dress, was like a faint jasmine flower that was gradually blooming, what kind of unearthly natural beauty this is.

At this time, as the sound of Princess Alaten's piano gradually got better, a pipe of Xiao Yin quietly blended in. The chords of the piano flute, like a song and a dream, push the main theme of the music to a climax. On the occasion of a beautiful piano sound floating around the beam, suddenly saw the princess slowly rising, her arms raised back, and the long water sleeves drew a perfect arc in the air...... The music is intense, spinning, flicking sleeves, hems, all in one go. The music slowed down, and the princess's posture softened, the water sleeves flew, she bent over and knelt on the ground, her head was thrown back, her waist was bent 180 degrees, the music stopped, and everything was quiet.

The visual and auditory beauty of this scene dissipated. This person's dance is like a thousand flowers swinging, and the spring breeze is passing by, and the jasmine is fragrant, and the roses are powerless to pour dust. This dance not only amazed every guest present, but also opened the eyes of the two teenagers in the flower fairy world, and they were suspicious of right and wrong. They think that this princess who is both talented and combines the north and the south will not be a fairy in the fairy world, she can combine the boldness of the grassland wind with the delicate charm of the locals so perfectly, which is pleasing to the eye and has an endless aftertaste.

Applause and cheers suddenly rang out. I saw Princess Aratsuna smiling shyly approaching her father's table to toast Hada, King Liang stroked his beard and laughed heartily, and the princess's Eji lovingly stroked the top of her daughter's head with a warm blessing.

Peony Yong and Ula Quaqua also stood up and toasted King Liang and his wife.

The hall suddenly became lively again, toasting each other's cloth dishes, and wrestling warriors came to wrestle to cheer up.
