Chapter 237 Auspicious Egg Ceremony(1/2)
Kunyu is about to get married and is entertaining guests from all walks of life in the prince's palace these days.
According to the rules of the Heavenly Palace, his wedding ceremony required a formality in the Third Prince's Hall.
Afterwards, the Third Prince's Palace was completely sealed until the next generation of the Divine Emperor ascended the throne, cleared the prince's palace again, and prepared for the next generation of the Divine Emperor's heirs.
So, this was the last two days when Kun Yu lived in the prince's palace. Although he had been living in the mansion outside the palace for many years and rarely came back to the Third Prince's Palace. But if he wanted to leave completely, he was inevitably a little reluctant.
"If you want to move in again, I'm afraid you can only wait for me to ascend the throne to the Divine Emperor?"
Suddenly, he heard the palace servants coming to report and quickly stood up.
"Everyone, the sixth brother is here. I will come when I go."
King Zhao?
Everyone at the banquet stood up one after another and prepared to greet him.
But Peng Yu and the other four were quick to walk, and before everyone could come out, they came to the Third Prince's Hall.
Seeing Zhuanyun and Luo Kai inside, Peng Yu wanted to leave immediately.
He held back his disgust and looked around for a week.
The eldest prince Kunyan, the second prince Kun?, the eighth prince Kunchen, the great sun king Kunye, and a number of nobles from aristocratic families are all there.
Resisting the desire to turn and leave, Peng Yu smiled and said, "Third Brother, I suddenly arrived, will it not affect you?"
"It's rare that the sixth brother is willing to come and support it, and it's too late to welcome the brother."
He invited Peng Yu to the banquet, and the palace maids quickly prepared the plate, wine, and put the fruits and aromatherapy on it.
In terms of its magnificence, the Third Prince's Palace is far inferior to the Zhaoyuan Palace and Qianyuan Palace. Under the magnificent surface, it is hard to hide the old and old palace.
"After all, it is a thousand-year-old palace, with few renovations, which are not as good as the newly built Zhaoyuan Palace and the frequently renovated Qianyuan Palace."
Yu was facing Luo Kai.
Luo Kai nodded slightly to him.
Peng Yu looked away in disgust and turned to Kun Yu, "The third brother is about to get married, and my younger brother doesn't know what to give, so he prepares some gifts casually. I hope the third brother and his future sister-in-law like it."
Wave his hand and asks his granddaughter and others to carry it onto the wooden box.
After opening it, everyone saw neatly placed utensils inside.
Sun Xiushu was not anxious or slow, and reported the gift list in a steady and serious voice: "King Zhao congratulated His Highness and his wife to grow old together and have a long love. Give him a pair of dragons and phoenixes, a golden phoenix and white teeth, and a coiled dragon and a phoenix ruler."
"I wish the newcomers a heart-to-heart relationship and fly together. I will give you a pair of five-color stone fans with bird feathers and a pair of silver silk-inlaid jade-to-heart mirrors."
"I wish the newcomers a harmonious and beautiful year round, and give a pot of silver-edged golden branches and stone plum blossom bonsai, a pot of white magnolia bonsai, a pot of jade bamboo bonsai, and a pot of calender yellow stone chrysanthemum bonsai."
"I wish the newcomers will always be united and love each other unchanged. I will give you a pair of colorful knots and four nanmu boxes that will be presented with auspicious dragons and phoenixes."
...
Sun Xiushu kept reciting the gift list, and the palace servant next to him took out the things from the box.
It was a small box, but the gifts brought out inside almost filled the entire hall.
Kun Yu looked shocked.
Where did this kid get the things? His King Zhao Palace is still closed. I haven’t heard of him getting things inside? There are also these dragon and phoenix-shaped things that don’t have in his warehouse at all?
Zhuanyun looked at Peng Yu frequently, with a strange expression: the set of four-season jade bonsai looks familiar. It seems to be the wedding gift our family gave to His Majesty the Emperor of God back then? Not to mention this kid lives in Qianyuan Hall, this time he is the emperor who is moving things from the Emperor of God's private treasury?
"King Zhao wishes the third prince and his wife prosperity and wealth forever. He gives his descendants a golden bucket and a golden phoenix sycamore."
In addition, there are eight Tianjin, twelve antique calligraphy and paintings, four boxes of gems and gold beads...
Seeing the congratulatory gifts from Peng Yu, people from the aristocratic family secretly lamented King Zhao's luxury.
But the eldest prince and the second prince are not right.
Kun Yan: "This kid - I was not so generous to me back then!"
Kun? was secretly angry: "When I got married, the mother and son gave him a pair of Ruyi and sent him away." Thinking of his mother being demoted to the cold palace, he felt even more and more uncomfortable.
After someone sang the gift list, Peng Yu waved his hand and asked Kun Yu's people to carry the gift down.
"Little Boli, third brother, don't dislike me."
Kun Yu shook his head repeatedly and smiled bitterly: "Brother gives this gift. When you go back, your wedding, I really don't know how to go back."
Peng Yu smiled and didn't care.
The reason why he prepared generous gifts was to show his brotherly filial piety and brotherly love according to the instructions of the Emperor of God.
To put it bluntly, this is a "job". He doesn't feel sorry for the Emperor of God for spending money.
As for getting married by yourself—
How is that possible!
I am not stupid because of the past lessons of Mrs. Yunyang and the Qinglian Sword Saint.
After Kunyu accepted the gift, Peng Yu took his seat to drink with everyone.
"Please keep going, don't mind Gu, don't wipe out your good mood. Gu just came over and took a look. By the way, what were you doing just now?"
"Sixth Brother, we were 'egg fight' just now. Look, this is the Egg King." The seventh prince Kun Sheng shook the golden egg in his hand proudly.
Egg-fighting, a custom passed down from ancient times.
In each festival in Dakun, there are completely different rules for fighting eggs.
For example, in the beginning of summer, children hang eggs on their chests and collide with each other. Those who break up eat eggs, and those who win continue to fight eggs. Finally, they compete for the egg king, and then the winners enjoy it.
According to Teacher Peng Yu, this is an ancient tradition of exorcism and prayer. As the eggs collide with each other, the prayer and thought power is attached to the eggs. After being eaten by the child, the prayer and prayer can protect the child from being harmed by evil spirits. The egg king gathers the most spiritual energy and thought power, which is the greatest benefit to the eaters.
In addition, there are methods such as the prince’s golden eggs during birthday, the auspicious eggs before the wedding, and the longevity eggs at the birthday party.
"Return it back to the third brother quickly. This is the golden egg gift for his prince's birthday." Kun Xian said dissatisfied: "This thing will be available when your prince's birthday."
Kun Yu said generously: "It's okay, let's play with him. It's just a small thing anyway."
Kun Sheng grimaced at Kun Xian and thanked Kun Yu.
Looking at the interactions between these "brothers", Peng Yu seemed to understand the intention of the Divine Emperor to let him come over.
However, the so-called friendship between these people is just a little bit of love in front of outsiders. In secret, I don’t know how to fight and plot against each other.
Peng Yu drank a glass of wine and thought silently in his heart.
He did not give any hope for the so-called brotherly feelings of the Heavenly Palace.
In the past, the friendship between Emperor Li and Emperor Ling was in a difficult situation, but wasn’t it finally a life-and-death confrontation?
At this time, a palace maid sent a wooden barrel, which contained ten evenly sized red eggs.
Kun Yu said: "Your third sister-in-law prepared it. We were playing with auspicious eggs just now. Do you want to come too?"
Rules of auspicious eggs: Each person prepares ten eggs to enter the market. Then take out at least one egg and let others guess the number. The person who guesses correctly can take away one egg from the other person's hands. In the end, the person with the most red eggs wins.
Peng Yu was happy: "San Sister-in-law prepares red eggs. So is it the third brother who is the banker? What is the third brother who uses as the lottery?"
"A set of components of a top-level divine armor."
Kunyu once again showed off his luck.
A right wrist armor is placed on the wooden shelf, made of neither gold nor jade, and is carved with fine and delicate dragon patterns.
Peng Yu narrowed his eyes: "Dragon Emperor Armor?"
The Dragon Emperor wore armor to fight with the God Emperor. After his death, the Dragon Emperor's armor disintegrated and flew to the world of heaven.
"Yes, this is what I found during the trial of the affiliated world. Why, are you interested?"
"A little bit."
Peng Yu casually took a piece of red cloth to cover the wooden barrel.
"So I'll participate, too."
"Then start over."
Everyone made preparations and used their own methods to cover up and change the number of red eggs in the wooden barrel beside them.
The number of eggs to guess is between one and ten.
Starting from Kunyu, he took out a silver egg again and passed it to Kunyan on his left: "Three above."
Kun Yan held the silver egg and thought about it. Instead of trying to guess the riddle, he passed the silver egg to the next person, and also prompted his number of red eggs: "even."
Kun? Take the Yindan and think for a while: "Then let me guess first. The third brother has five, and the eldest brother has eight."
The two princes smiled and shook their heads at the same time. Kun? He was not discouraged. He picked out two red eggs from the trophy and gave them to them, and then gave the silver egg to the next person: "Odd number."
"Five." Luo Kai held the silver egg and rushed to Kun, "There are five in your barrel."
Kun? Tear off the lid and there were indeed five red eggs inside.
"Brother Luo has never guessed wrong since he started playing the egg fight. What kind of deduction of the secret of heaven are you? I have obviously deceived the secret of heaven?"
"It's just a little trick, it's hard to reach the elegance." Luo Kai held the silver egg and then calculated the other two princes.
