Zhang Fan is merry by nature, and was taken away by the women before, and it goes without saying that everything has happened since then.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the morning of the third day, Zhang Fan and Mingyue have breakfast, have already prepared a birthday gift, and set off for Miyagi. At this time, Zhang Fan and Mingyue rode the black wind to the main gate of the palace-noon gate, and the bull demon behind them escorted a golden dragon with nine feet and nine lengths into the palace with seven family members.

Today is the birthday of Emperor Shengwei, the avenue in front of the palace is full of people, and at the same time, there are rows of armor soldiers along the road to strictly check over and over again, Zhang Fan came to the gate of the palace, and the front is the last pass. As soon as the two gold-armored guards saw Zhang Fan and the others coming, they immediately shouted: "The front is the palace, and livestock are not allowed to enter the palace, please dismount and walk." Zhang Fan and Mingyue dismounted when they heard this. The armor sergeant added: "An official can only bring one servant into the palace. Zhang Fan frowned when he heard this, knowing that it was reasonable for livestock not to enter the palace, but an official could only enter the palace with one servant, which was too difficult for a strong man. Seeing this, the bull demon hurriedly stepped forward, took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them to the soldiers, the two soldiers smiled slightly when they heard this, and then accepted the silver tickets and said: "If the person who enters the palace to celebrate his birthday, if the congratulatory gift is too valuable, the servant can be temporarily allowed to enter the palace to give gifts." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Fan handed the Black Wind Horse to a servant, and then took the Bull Demon and other four servants to carry the golden dragon into the palace gate. A few people entered the palace city, passed through a few jade bridges, walked straight along the central jade road, and soon came to a wide square. At this time, a little eunuch shouted: "Whoever gives gifts, please go here to register the birthday gifts." Zhang Fan looked at Xiao Budian, who was not Xiao Anzi who brought him food that day, so he pulled Mingyue and stepped forward. smiled and said: "Xiao Anzi, it turns out that you are here to receive a congratulatory gift?" Xiao Anzi heard the words and hurriedly said: "Oh, it turned out to be the Imperial Doctor." Please. With that, he led Zhang Fan to a small attic next to him. When Zhang Fan heard this, he followed him to the attic, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that there was a person in the pavilion, who turned out to be Xiao Lizi, so he smiled and said: "Little Lizi, help me register, the birthday gift we gave is the Ninety-Nine Longevity Golden Dragon." Xiao Lizi smiled and said, "Okay, my lord." However, there seem to be a lot of people who give the Ninety-Nine Longevity Golden Dragon today. If you don't name the highlights of the golden dragon, it will be difficult for the saints to notice. Zhang Fan smiled awkwardly when he heard this, but this little problem stumped him. After all, he couldn't say that his golden dragon was made of pure gold. Someone else's golden dragon is a copycat golden dragon.

Seeing this, Mingyue smiled and said: "Little Lizi, my family's golden dragon is made of pure gold, nine zhang long, and it is a golden dragon with nine long lives and boundless scales." Xiao Lizi was stunned when he heard this. muttered, "I didn't expect the Imperial Doctor to be so generous." It is amazing to use 100,000 taels of gold to forge a golden dragon!" Zhang Fan smiled: "Hurry up and register, we won't be able to find a place if it's too late." Xiao Lizi hurriedly said: "Okay, good, Xiao Anzi remembered, the imperial doctor ordered Zhang Fan Zhang to send the Holy Nine Heavens Longevity True Dragon to the royal golden dragon for this birthday exhibition." ”

After Xiao Anzi registered the name of the birthday gift, several eunuchs also went out to pick up the golden dragon wrapped in yellow thick that Niu Mo and the others had lifted. Mingyue saw this. took out 10,000 taels and 9,000 taels of silver tickets and handed them to Xiao Lizi and Xiao Anzi respectively, and said, "It's hard work for the two fathers-in-law." It's a little bit of a trivial. Seeing this, Xiao Anzi trembled and took the silver ticket and quickly stuffed it into his arms. Xiao Li Zi took the silver ticket with a smile, and said with a slight excuse: "How embarrassing is this, we are also doing things for the saint." Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Xiao Lizi, we are our own people, you have helped me so much, these are the wine money we invite you to drink, haha......" Xiao Lizi said with a smile: "Then thank you to the Imperial Doctor, the little one must be the first to send your golden dragon to the viewing platform." Zhang Fan smiled: "Thank you little plum." At this time, Zhang Fan saw someone waiting behind him, no longer bothered them, and said, "Farewell." Then he went out with Mingyue. Xiao Lizi and Xiao Anzi still wanted to say a polite word to Zhang Fan, but seeing that an adult had been waiting for a long time, they didn't hesitate and hurriedly said, "Master Kong, please." ”

Zhang Fan glanced at the old man and found that he came up alone with an antique wooden box, and a faint aroma of ginseng naturally emanated, knowing that the old man surnamed Kong was sending a century-old ginseng, but he didn't care, so he left with Mingyue.

Zhang Fan pulled Mingyue out of the small pavilion, the Bull Demon and the others had already left, and they came to a large hall together without saying anything.

This hall is the emperor's usual handling of the government of the Jinluan Palace, this time to hold the holy birthday, since it is impossible to be in the not spacious Jinluan Palace, but in the square in front of the palace. Zhang Fan and Mingyue came here, reported for their official positions, and were led by a eunuch to the left side of the square and sat down.

Zhang Fan and Mingyue sat down, looked around, and found that a dragon chair had already been placed at the door of the high Jinluan Palace, and there were many seats distributed on the steps on both sides of the front, and where they were located was relatively close to the dragon chair. At the bottom of the steps, there was a spacious white marble platform, on which a large red embroidered gold dragon carpet had already been laid, and several eunuchs were waiting silently on the side.

At this time, Emperor Shengwei had not yet come out, and there were several officials in blue robes and red robes sitting on the seats on both sides of the dragon chair, obviously these were court officials who were not too high in official positions and local officials near the capital.

Of course, no one here brought the people in the house to visit the Shengwei Emperor's birthday ceremony like Zhang Fan, and most of them brought a child. Mingyue is also dressed as a child servant, otherwise she would have been called out a long time ago.

After a long time, the seats on the left and right sides in front of the Jinluan Hall have been densely packed with officials of all sizes, but no one has come above, Zhang Fan is wearing a white robe, Mingyue is wearing a blue robe, and he is sitting at the top of the seat, no matter how you look at it, it is a little abrupt, not only because the color of the clothes he is wearing is a little conspicuous, but also because there is no one on the scene who is taller than Zhang Fan.

Everyone whispered, Zhang Fan and Mingyue were not excluded. He saw that the sun had risen high, and no one had come, so he asked Mingyue: "Yue'er, you said that these officials are too bold, and they are late for the birthday banquet of the saint." Mingyue smiled: "Brother Fan, it's not that they are bold, or we came too early." How can the Holy Birthday Feast be so simple. Previously, we traveled all the way, although we met a lot of pedestrians on the road, but they were not crowded, but then the road was different, there was no real power officials, so we could only wait for this queue to enter the palace. The emperor will not come to preside over the birthday gift until noon, and in the afternoon he sings and sings about the birthday gifts sent by each family, and then he will look at the songs and dances, and appreciate the poems and so on. Then, of course, there was a big meal. Tomorrow there will be a world martial arts competition, that is the main event, after all, the children of the family want to be famous, and the emperor wants to use the martial arts competition to deter the crowd and consolidate his rule. ”

Zhang Fan was stunned when he heard this, he thought that the palace had a rich diet in the morning, so he didn't eat much, and wanted to come to the palace to have a big meal, after all, he was a person who had eaten the imperial diet, and naturally understood that the ordinary dishes such as barbecue, rice porridge, and potato and beef stew that he thought he was so proud of before were simply bad compared to the imperial diet. This is not to blame for his dislike of the poor and love the rich, but because the palace has gathered more than ninety percent of the world's fine chefs, and everyone has everything, but Zhang Fan eats some ordinary food at most. Originally, when he was swimming in the mountains and forests, he often had game to satisfy his cravings, and occasionally he could drink fine wine, but now all he can eat are some domestic brute beasts and those dishes that are the same every day. Originally, these dishes were pretty good, but unfortunately Zhang Fan's vision was high, so he couldn't help it. People often say that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, I am afraid this is the truth.

Just as Zhang Fan was contemplating and thinking about it, a duck sound sounded, and he also returned to reality. A eunuch said in a loud voice: "The prince has arrived, and the hundred officials will congratulate him!" Zhang Fan looked up and saw a young super fat man wearing a wide golden dragon robe with white skin moved out of the Jinluan Hall with the support of several eunuchs.

That guy was too fat, and although the dragon robe was unusually wide, it still couldn't hide the traces of fat on his body. As he moved forward, the dragon robe trembled with the fat and trembled, and at the same time, heavy footsteps came one after another. Although the fat man wears a crown, it is obvious that something is not suitable. His head was too big, and the crown was made of sable skin, but unfortunately there are very few sables in this world that can match the fat man. This fat man is the current crown prince of Qi and the only son of Emperor Shengwei - Zhu Tianpeng, no wonder Mingyue is reluctant to marry him. It seems that the prestige of Zhu Tianpeng's playing with palace maids mentioned by Mingyue before does not necessarily mean how lustful he is, but there are really not many palace maids or women who are suitable for him, and he will be crippled if he doesn't pay attention to it.

Zhu Tianpeng's fat face covered his eyes, making him look like a mouse, which is not to say that he is really like a mouse, or that he is short-sighted, but his appearance does not look like the majesty that an emperor should have, on the contrary, it makes people feel that he is a conspirator and villain who is not completely disguised enough.

As soon as everyone saw Zhu Tianpeng coming, they all said in unison: "The ministers see His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Zhu Tianpeng came to the front of the dragon chair, took a breath, slowly raised his hand, and said: "Zhongqing is flat!" Everyone shouted: "Thank you, Your Highness!" Then everyone stood up and stood quietly. Then Zhu Tianpeng said: "The Holy Dragon Shou will be held at noon. This morning, King Gu arranged the matter of Long Shou on behalf of his father. Due to the excessive number of birthday ceremonies of the Holy Dragon, there was no time to sing the birthday rites when the birthday feast began, so the Lone King announced that from now on, the list of birthday gifts would be sung. The ministers were very excited when they heard this, after all, people like them didn't have the opportunity to get a chance to express themselves on the dragon life, and now that the prince came to hold a temporary singing ceremony in advance, they were not a birthday gift in vain.

At this time, on the high platform in front of him, several eunuchs stood silently, and the middle one of them was the little plum. Xiao Lizi was the godson of Eunuch Zhao, and obviously played a pivotal role in this congratulatory ceremony. Zhu Tianpeng saw that the eunuch was ready, so he said: "Sing ......" But before he finished speaking, a clear drink came out: "Slow!" Everyone heard the words and looked at the place where the voice came from, and it turned out that the person who spoke was a thin old man with a white beard, isn't this Lord Kong. When everyone saw that he actually stopped the prince from doing something, they were all stunned. (To be continued......)
